    Crown Prince Serron of Monce had dreaded getting the ultimatum he knew was coming. He'd loved Patin, Duke of Folkon for twelve long years, but to his parents, that wasn't good enough. Forced to consider marrying someone else, Serron is pleased and intrigued when his mother suggests another prince as a possible consort, someone who might be amenable to a marriage contract despite Serron's relationship with Patin. All he had to do was be honest.  
    "Sometimes I feel as though I am walking on a fine wire, yards in the air, praying I don’t fall and take Serron with me." 
    Patin, Duke of Folkon had been raised on the streets. Catching Serron's attention hadn't been intentional, but as the years passed and their affection for each other grew, albeit behind closed doors, he always knew the day would come when he would have to leave... or did he? 
    How do you see a marriage like the one you are proposing would work? 
    Prince Jaq of Elembaum enjoyed his library, his books and his studies for the World Council. But when two men, clearly a couple, came into his library with a proposition, Jaq was compelled to listen. The thoughtful gift of a book they offered helped. Touched by their circumstances, Jaq agrees to their offer, and suddenly his life is one adventure after another. But through it all, could they ever be more than friends? 
    There's another prince with eyes on Jaq, and with tensions rising at the Monce castle, the early days of the arranged marriage don't go as planned. After an abduction attempt, truths are revealed - will the three men lose their potential for more together, before they even begin?  
    This is an MMM Arranged Marriage story intended for mature audiences. As with all of my stories, there is no cheating, and all characters are over the age of twenty-five. HEAs guaranteed. Can be read as a standalone.

    From USA Today Bestselling Author, Marley Valentine comes a brand new emotional, second chance, gay romance. 
    Two halves of a whole, Arlo Bishop and I were both unwanted kids brought together by the foster system. Dealing with the aftermath of neglect and abandonment, we grew up side by side and found solace in one another. 
    We wanted. 
    We needed. 
    We loved. 
    Desperately. 
    But somewhere along the way, Arlo wanted and needed and loved drugs more. So, I did the only thing I could and broke my own heart to save his. 
    Now, four years later, I’m back in L.A. and face-to-face with my past. Not only does the pain and hurt of our mistakes linger between us, but so do our feelings. 
    I didn’t plan on a second chance, fear of history repeating itself making it hard to forgive and even harder to forget. But with only one touch, one kiss, I was taken back to where it all started. 
    Two halves of a whole, Arlo Bishop and I were made for for each other. But we were no longer the unwanted foster kids. 
    We were grown men. 
    And I wanted nothing more than him.

    Her enemy. Her ally. Her temptation... 💖🗡️ 
    Phillipa, Duchess of Dorsett is not your average demure lady in society. For behind her charming smile, she hides a secret and a wicked reputation. Tasked by Queen Victoria to protect the innocent, she’s recruited the most formidable women of the ton - The Queen’s Deadly Damsels. And now they have one final mission…but this time it’s anything but simple… It’s personal. 
    Lady Olivia Smithwick sold her soul to save her daughter, and in return has made an enemy of the Duchess. But when she’s faced with an offer of Phillipa’s protection and a promise to bring down The Devil’s Sons, she can’t refuse. 
    As they attempt their mission, together and alone, their simple deal becomes dangerously complicated. Because when their tension makes way for an unexpected desire, the heat between them becomes impossible to ignore.

    It's totally normal for two straight guys to do this when they're alone, right? 
     
     
     
    That's what I keep telling myself after I meet Reggie. I'm a pro tennis player, and I usually spend my life on the court. But an embarrassing injury in the middle of the US Open sidelined my career, landing me in the hands of my new athletic trainer. 
     
     
     
    Reggie is a big old jock with an easy smile, and my grumpy butt has never met anyone like him. We start hanging—at the gym and at his place, on the tennis court and out at the bar. I haven't had a real friend in years, and Reggie's big heart warms me deep inside. He finds something I've tried to keep buried, and when we end up sweaty in a hotel bed one night, my world turns upside down. 
     
     
     
    Then comes the cabin weekend, and all the long massages at the gym . . . Reggie gets his big hands all over me, and I can't stop thinking about him. It's chill, though, because we're a couple of straight guys, and this is just a bromance. 
     
     
     
    A sweaty, grunty, sticky bromance. 
     
     
     
    It can't be more than that, not with my tennis career waiting—and no matter what my heart insists. 
     
     
     
    Contains mature themes.
