Summary

Cyrano is the most interesting person in any room – a wordsmith, a charmer. She works twice as hard and runs twice as fast as the pretty boys, because she's deeply ashamed of something about herself.
Enter Roxanne: brilliant and beautiful, with a penchant for poetry and a way with words, just like Cyrano. But Roxanne only has eyes for Yan: hot, manly Yan, who is dumbstruck around Roxanne. (Probably shy, right?) Until suddenly he starts saying the most amazing things. But it's not Yan writing these perfect love scenes, it's Cyrano...
A joyous, gender-flipped retelling of Edmond Rostand's classic play, Cyrano is a love letter to hope; to language and desire; to the lo-fi magic of theatre.
This big-hearted, irreverent queer-as-hell rom-com was first performed by Melbourne Theatre Company in 2022. A new production, directed by Clare Watson and produced by Roast Productions, was a hit at the Traverse Theatre during the 2024 Edinburgh Festival Fringe, winning a Fringe First Award, before transferring to Park Theatre, London.
Available since: 12/19/2024.
Print length: 104 pages.

    Has Fate taken science and shown it who’s boss, when everything about Nico and Teilo is not what it seems? 
    Ben was looking out for the wider shifter population as acting council lead. The one thing that leaves him questioning what he is doing with everything which unfolds. Then one file—one photo changes everything and sends him on a race against time home to Paraguay to fight for what is most important—his mates. 
    Nico knows nothing other than a cage and the death he bestows on those the Devil wants dead. The one person who keeps his soul intact is his cage brother, Teilo. He is also the one the scientists and trainers use against him, knowing Nico would die for Teilo. 
    When the scientists leave them in their cages without a word, Teilo soon loses hope of ever getting a life outside the cage he dreams of with Nico, even if he doesn’t understand the connection he feels for him. Locked in their animal form, there is no way out! 
    Then everything changes when Ben—their mate—finds them. Will their lives be any different as they heal and work to figure out why the assassin—them—program is so special? Do the cage brothers hold the answers or does someone else?

    Thirty-nine year old Ann has many questions and fears about the world, and usually just tries to repress them. She has just moved downtown and is afraid to walk anywhere after dark, but with her new job at the liquor store, she tries to overcome this fear since she thinks it's silly to drive her car three blocks. She avoids eye contact with people on the street and enjoys her life of solitude.
    Ann throws aside her reserved nature to befriend her forty-nine year old neighbor, Tee, and the two discover they both have questions about the world. While getting to know each other through activities such as playing basketball and chess, many topics come up, from celebrity drama to history to politics, and even some things that could be considered conspiracies. Tee and Ann develop feelings for each other, but Tee doesn't want Ann to meet her ten-year-old daughter yet due to a bad experience in a past relationship. The two must meet while Lana is either in school or in bed. 
    Will Ann and Tee's relationship grow stronger, or will their disparate learning styles hinder them? Is Ann really safe working at the liquor store? Will she learn how to overcome her fears, or end up with more questions than answers?

    Mateo Alvarez is finally starting to get his life back in order after escaping an unhealthy relationship. As much as he wants a Daddy, he is starting to think it isn't meant to be. That changes when he's enjoying a night out at a club and is caught off guard by a serendipitous meeting with a Daddy he's instantly drawn to. 
     
     
     
    Assured by a best friend that Jake is a good man and a good Daddy, Mateo allows himself to sink into his submissive headspace. Jake wants to take care of Mattie in ways Mattie has never experienced, but will he allow himself to trust Jake enough to share all his secrets? 
     
     
     
    Matteo sparks something in Jake Cosgrove he's long since thought dormant; a need to protect and nurture. Mattie might be small in stature, but his personality fills all the hollow places inside Jake he didn't even know were empty. 
     
     
     
    Determined to make Mattie his, Jake knows he needs to build a foundation of trust to show him what a real Daddy/boy relationship should be. But is that enough to make Mattie confident in what they could be to each other, or will his boy's past relationship ruin what they have before it even begins?

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. Varyn Bellori's suppressants were supposed to keep his empire alive. 
     
    They kept his omega scent buried, his forged alpha records believable, and his captains obedient. As long as Varyn looked untouchable, Cinder Hall stayed his. 
     
    Then someone tampers with the dose. 
     
    His first real heat breaks through at the worst possible moment, and Demyan Korvan, his suspicious alpha underboss, catches the truth first. Varyn expects blackmail. A bid for the chair. A demand. 
     
    What he gets is Demyan burning the proof and going to his knees by choice. 
     
    Heat should be another weapon the coup can use against Varyn. Instead, it becomes the first place he lets Demyan close. A knot changes the stakes. A deliberate bond makes loyalty visible. Pregnancy turns the secret into a threat no forged record can hide. 
     
    Now Ilario's faction is pushing for a public quorum, betting that an omega boss carrying an heir cannot hold a mafia family. Varyn has built his rule on control, but survival will take something sharper: trusting the alpha who wants his command, claiming the body they tried to use against him, and revealing the truth before anyone else can make it a weakness. 
     
    Secret Omega Boss is an adult M/M mafia Omegaverse mpreg romance with a secret omega boss, a devoted alpha underboss, explicit consensual heat, knotting, bonding, pregnancy-family stakes, no cheating, and a complete HFN. No birth or baby on page.
