Sinopse

Joe Hill thinks of himself as an ordinary guy with an appropriately ordinary sort of name. He discovers that some other Colby residents think he's extraordinarily good looking, many likening him to Clark Kent. Joe's newfound popularity goes to his head and he has a number of brief flings with various men around town.
Joe eventually begins to wonder if settling down with one special man would give him a greater sense of contentment. He sees the happiness his boss and a couple of his work colleagues enjoy with their respective same-sex partners, However, who would have him? He only spent one semester at college, and up until a recent promotion, Joe was employed mowing lawns and landscaping yards.
After offering to paint his landlady's hallway, Joe goes to Home Depot for supplies. He has no idea what equipment he needs but a stranger helps him out. Joe is intrigued and turned on by the man but knows he probably won't ever see him again. However, a couple of weeks later Joe see's the stranger having dinner with his boss. Later still, Joe is invited to his boss's house and he's introduced to the stranger. Micah Sutton creates custom-made pieces of furniture. Joe is impressed by both the man and his woodworking talents.
Following a tentative start to their friendship, both men start to feel inferior to the other. Micah thinks he's plain looking in comparison to Joe, and Joe believes a man with the skills that Micah possesses wouldn't be interested in someone who spends his days ordering garden supplies in an office.
Is Micah's and Joe's relationship doomed from the start, or will they each wake up in time to smell the varnish/fertilizer to see they're both exactly what the other needs?

J.D. Walker

Sheldon Wickens is one of Theodore's copier service clients who's been asking him out on a date for years. Theodore thinks he's hot but always blows him off, thinking there's no way Sheldon would be interested in a blue-collar guy who's a little overweight. Plus, he's tired of one-night stands.

Will Theodore take a chance on something new, despite the bumbling efforts of his best friend, or remain unrequited forever?

A Marriage of Necessity

Lisa Oliver

A Marriage of Necessity - Jasper and Avalon
I owe my mother everything.
Jasper, the youngest Prince from Lowenthorp, had one driving need - to get away from the castle. After being abducted, abused, and having lost an eye, Jasper believed his only chance of keeping his Mother safe was to be as far away from her as possible. Which was why, when his Mother suggested a Marriage Contract, Jasper agreed. He didn't care who he married, so long as he could keep his Mother safe.
I can’t believe I’ve just agreed to marry a man I haven’t met. Maybe there was something in those mushrooms.
Avalon, Crown Prince of Cijan, never wanted to marry. He'd lost his fiancé many years before and determined a life filled with duty and travel was enough. Until he heard Jasper's story. Deciding he could be a friend to the young prince, if nothing else, marrying Jasper would at least put a stop to the endless Marriage Contract suggestions his father had been dealing with.
A marriage of necessity could work for them both...
Magic, whales, and ships that pass in the night. Somehow Avalon and Jasper are drawn together and when Jasper jumps overboard... The heart knows what the heart wants.
As an author I rarely include trigger warnings - I rarely write stories that include anything triggering. However for readers sensitive to discussions of abuse, there are two paragraphs in the book where this is alluded to. While I promise this story has a very sweet and happy ending, if this is a trigger for you, then this might not be the story for you.

Bloodline - A Novel

Jenn Alexander

Jenn Alexander introduces listeners to a different kind of romance—think Buffy the Vampire Slayer in a coffee shop with lesbians, vampires, and a wide selection of coffinated beverages. 
 
 
 
Still reeling from the unexpected loss of her parents, Edie McLean doesn't have time to grieve. She's the fourth-generation owner of the McLean Family Coffee Shop, her family's legacy. Unfortunately, this legacy is littered with decades worth of bad business, regrettable purchases, and massive debt. The McLean family motto was always that "good coffee is in our blood," but the shop has become an eyesore and its small, loyal customer base isn't enough to keep it afloat—and if Edie doesn't find a way to turn business around quickly, the family's legacy will end with her. 
 
 
 
As Edie tries to pull all the pieces of her life together, she finds herself drawn to an alluring night-shift nurse who stops by for coffee every evening after sunset, while contending with a quirky new roommate who sleeps in an honest-to-God coffin. When all three worlds collide spectacularly, Edie's eyes are opened to a new and untapped market that just may be the key to saving her family's coffee shop. However, when her Draculattes and Cold Blood Cold Brews begin to raise more alarm than sales, suddenly the stakes involved appear to be of the wooden variety.

The Soul's Awakening

Amanda Murr

Rowan never expected investigating the mysterious death of Emery Lancaster would lead her into a world where the line between the living and the dead blurs. What begins as a quest for justice quickly takes an unexpected turn when someone tries to stop her investigation with violence, and that's when Rowan realizes the truth: Emery's spirit hasn't truly left. She can see and even interact with her, caught in an impossible bond that deepens with each passing moment.
As Rowan digs deeper, she discovers the investigation is more than just about uncovering a death. It's about untangling an ancient, dangerous legacy. The more she uncovers about the Kasper family and their connection to Emery's death, the more entangled she becomes, not just in the mystery, but in her growing bond with Emery's spirit. Every clue she uncovers reveals another layer of danger and intrigue, and the connection between them intensifies in ways Rowan cannot explain.
What started as a search for answers soon becomes a fight for something much more personal. The line between duty and desire begins to fade as Rowan finds herself falling for Emery in a way that defies reason. As Rowan delves deeper into the family's dark rituals, she faces an impossible choice. With an ancient sacrifice looming, Rowan must decide how far she's willing to go to save Emery -- not just as a memory, but as the woman she's falling for. The more she learns, the more she realizes bringing Emery back may mean defying everything she believes about life, death, and the power of love. But is love between the living and the dead even possible?
