Summary

A new take on a familiar holiday classic. Ned Matthews is a college student haunted by his last boyfriend's infidelity. Ned would rather wallow in self-pity than spend Christmas with Bobby Cratchett, the boy next door and Ned's old high school crush, despite the fact the two of them are the only students left on campus for the holiday.


Amid memories of Christmases past and the emptiness of the present evening, Ned realizes he isn't the only one alone this wintry night. Can Bobby somehow break through Ned's defenses to show him Christmas is better spent with someone you've always wanted to love?

    In a kingdom where duty reigns supreme, I, Prince James, have long hidden my true desires, yearning for a connection that feels impossible. Taken captive and made the king's slave, I never imagined I would find solace in the very man who commands my servitude. 
    As King Septimus, a ruler of strength and compassion, begins to care for me in ways I’ve never known, everything changes. When he bathes me with tenderness, I feel seen for the first time—not just as a captive or a servant, but as a man worthy of love. With each gentle touch, our bond deepens, awakening a longing within me that I can no longer ignore. 
    When his lips meet mine, I realize we have the chance to defy the expectations of our positions and embrace a love that could transform our lives. Will we dare to follow our hearts and forge a new path together, despite the chains of circumstance?

    Harper, lead singer of glam rock sensation The Rade, knows his face, his body, and his voice are beautiful -- so what if he secretly suspects he's an unlovable mess? He and his bandmates escaped a tortured existence in Fairyland years ago, and now they use their glamour and style to delight mortals instead of enthralling them. They love what they do, so when another band starts talking trash on their authenticity, Harper has to clap back.
    Beck O'Leary, lead singer of hard rock outfit Fireborn, has three platinum albums and the perfect life, and he's miserable. His bandmates are a joke, his family is held together with emotional duct tape, and his writing is, for the first time in his life, uninspired. He starts trash talking The Rade out of a petty grudge, but then keeps doing it for the thrill he gets from Harper's livestreamed reactions. And hates himself for both. 
    When the two front men finally meet, they can't deny their physical attraction. Sparks fly after a charity football game, but fan gossip takes a dark turn. Between Beck's disintegrating life and Harper's secret Fae existence, there's a lot to handle if they want to hang onto the magic they've found in each other. Or maybe two lead singers in one relationship is just too much?

    Sequel to Not Your Father's Mafia
    Tito Barbarotti, heir to a crime family empire, is set to marry his ex-FBI fiancé Rico in what they hoped would be a small, tasteful ceremony. But between CBD ventures, blockchain dreams, and a wildly overinvolved family that turns every gathering into a spectacle, the idea of a quiet celebration quickly becomes laughable.
    As the newlyweds navigate meddling relatives, emotional revelations, and a honeymoon that goes completely off the rails, they discover that love -- especially the kind worth fighting for -- is rarely quiet, often messy, and always worth it.
    The undeniable question remains: will Tito and Rico make it -- all of it -- through, despite two meddlesome families, erupting chaos around every unexpected corner, and their own desperate need to find a place of their own where they can dream of making the perfect wine, and maintain their already magical relationship? Or will their two incompatible families, rambunctious Italian on the one hand, and Southern dignity on the other, drive them apart?
