Here Goes Nothing

J.D. Walker

Summary

Shep Walsh has been through hell. Loneliness is his constant companion, and though his friends mean well, getting back into the dating game is the furthest thing from his mind, and too scary a prospect to consider. The debacle that was something new.
Enter Emil Tucker, a friend of a friend who is foisted upon Shep as a coffee date. The dread he feels at putting himself out there again slowly fades away with gentle conversation and no-strings encounters; and for the first time in years, Shep thinks that, maybe this time, he'll get it right. That is, if his ex doesn't spoil everything first. Can he trust himself to try again?

The Selkie Prince's Secret Baby...

J.J. Masters

An alpha prince, required to find his fated mate, has already pledged his love to another. But there’s a problem...
Prince Caol of the North has enjoyed a very active, carefree life. Being the youngest of five alpha-born princes, he hasn’t had a lot of responsibilities. As he watched his brothers find their fated mates and produce sons, he knew the time would come when he’d be forced to do the same. However, he’s in no rush since he’s quite happy with his current lover. While Caol wants to take his beta servant as his mate, the king demands the law be upheld and he find an omega who can give him sons to continue the Selkie race.
Beck can’t bear the thought of losing his alpha—the prince he not only served for years but loved just as many—to an omega. A male fated to bear his alpha sons. However, Beck’s gender makes it impossible for the prince to take him as his mate since betas cannot produce heirs.
Galen has lost so much. Trying to mend his broken heart, the omega’s thrown into the path of his alpha when he becomes a wet-nurse to the prince’s son. A son Caol has no idea even existed. The only problem is his alpha already has a lover. One Caol’s been with for years, one he loves. Just when Galen thought he’d never find a mate due to his past circumstances, the omega unexpectedly finds two. Was this what the fates intended?
Note: A 66k-plus word m/m/m ménage shifter mpreg story, this is the fifth book in the Royal Alpha series. Due to the “knotty” times in this book, it is recommended for mature readers only. While it can be read as a standalone, it’s recommended to read the series in order. And, like all of my books, it has an HEA.

Can't Buy His Love

J.D. Walker

Wheeler Ridley is used to having men fall into his lap at a snap of his fingers. He's gorgeous, well-to-do, and absolutely clueless about commitment and what it takes to have a serious relationship. Which makes the fact that he wants such a thing with his relationship-phobic crush, Gregory Wang almost unheard of. And yet ...
Gregory runs the daycare center across the street from the gym owned by Wheeler, and he has a reputation in the tiny beach town for being the "ice queen." Although he's interested in Wheeler, Gregory refuses any overtures and leaves frustration in his wake. 
When Wheeler saves the life of one of Gregory's daycare kids, Gregory sees him in a new light. Together, they work to forge a new beginning: one man learning how to think with his heart; the other figuring out how to let the past go and let ... love.

Persistence of Memory

J.M. Snyder

Five years ago Joah was culled -- kidnapped by the government to be trained as a soldier. In the process, they erased his memory, destroying his past, his dreams, everything but his name. Armed with that alone, Joah escapes from the facility in search of someone to help him recall the man he used to be.
That person is Tobin, Joah's husband, who never gave up hope of finding him again. He refuses to believe that the strength of his love alone won't be enough to bring back Joah's memories of their shared lives, and he's determined to bring back the man beneath the soldier, the man he knows has to love him. 
But an alarm in the chip blocking Joah's memories was triggered at his escape, and if it isn't removed soon, it will shriek his life away. Removing it won't bring back his past, and may destroy the present that Tobin has tried so hard to build between them. How can the love they once shared possibly survive?
