Wolves of War - A Rivalry Turned Desire

Lucian Drake Holloway

Summary

Two rival Alphas, hardened by war and bound by years of hate, fight over the river valley both packs call theirs. Kael leads with steady strength and loyalty built on trust. Darius rules with iron command and pride that burns hot. For too long, their packs have bled, each clash threatening to spark the final war.

But when rogues rise from the shadows bold, merciless, unrelenting necessity forces Kael and Darius into an uneasy alliance. Side by side, they learn each other’s rhythm in battle, realizing survival takes more than blades and borders.

With every fight, something shifts. Snarls turn into lingering looks. Heat flickers beneath anger, simmering into hunger neither can ignore. Hatred twists into want, and want threatens to burn through the fragile trust their packs can barely hold.

As enemies edge toward allies and something more they face a dangerous truth: the greatest risk may not be the rogues at their gates, but the fire they’ve lit inside each other.

Will their desire tear apart the truce, or become the one force strong enough to unite them?

***

And as their world of secrets, desire, and surrender unfolds, it becomes one blazing chapter in the larger saga of Primal Heat, where every story fuels the fire of the Omegaverse.

In a world where instinct burns hotter than reason, desire refuses to stay contained. Primal Heat plunges into the raw edges of the Omegaverse, where alphas command, omegas tempt, and bonds seared in fire refuse to break.

Each story pulses with dangerous secrets, forbidden attraction, and passion sharp enough to scorch. Ruthless pack leaders. Hidden identities. Heat that twists into obsession. Family ties no one expected. These are romances that test every limit, where surrender isn’t weakness but survival.

Dark, erotic, unforgettable Primal Heat is more than love. It’s the fire you can’t put out.

Dead Wrong: an MM Urban Fantasy...

Alexander C Eberhart

Tobias Greene is dead. Or, at least, he was dead, before his ex-boyfriend woke him with news of his missing sister. 
I wasn’t supposed to be here. Death should have been the end for me. A quiet erasure of all the terrible things I’d done in the almost thirty years of my first life. But then I was awake, and those memories came flooding back in, destroying the peace that had saved me in the crushing dark. To make matters worse, Bastien, the man I loved—and lost—was the one who tore me from Death’s icy grip. I couldn’t remember how things ended between us, but judging by the contempt in his eyes, I would guess it wasn’t pleasant. 
Lynette was missing. My twin—my better half—vanished the night before she was to succeed our mother as Head of the Magi Council. I was the last one to be seen with her. Then I was murdered. Now, I had to piece together those moments leading up to my death if we were to have any chance of saving Lynette. 
I wanted to forget the man I was in my first life. But with every step closer to Lynette, my past stalked ever closer. The hearts I’d broken. The lives I’d ruined. The men I’d left behind. 
I thought I knew who I was, but I was wrong. 
DEAD WRONG. 
DEAD WRONG is a plot-driven, magical realism, harem-style M/M romance with plenty of action, lots of magical men, and just the right amount of spice.

Jackson Alone

Jose Ando

Four Black Japanese gay men team up to exact revenge in a culture where discrimination is deep-seated. A searing, darkly funny debut from the Akutagawa Prize–winning author. 
  
Nobody at the corporate offices of Athletius Japan knows much about the massage therapist, Jackson—but rumors abound. He used to work as a model. He likes to party. He’s mixed race—half-Japanese, half-somewhere-in-Africa-n. He might be gay. Fueling the gossip is the sudden appearance of a violent pornographic video featuring a man who looks a lot like Jackson. 
  
When Jackson serendipitously meets three other queer mixed-race guys, he learns he’s not the only one being targeted. Together they concoct a plan: find out who’s responsible and, in the meantime, switch identities and play tricks on people—a boyfriend, a boss—who’ve wronged them, exploiting the fact that nobody can seem to tell them apart. 
  
A short, blistering gut punch of a novel, Jackson Alone is at turns satirical and deadpan, angry and tender—a frank exploration of identity, race, and queerness in contemporary Japan that announces Jose Ando as a singular new talent in the global literary scene.
