  Enemies to... bodyguard duty? 
  Sergeant Nix Marr is a damn good soldier, but she's desperate to leave her haunted past in the bioluminescent ocean, buried alongside old friends... and old flames. Unfortunately, even the icy ocean can't extinguish some fires. When Kessandra, everyone's favorite princess--and Nix's loathed ex--requests Nix's help investigating a massacre in the abyssal city of Fall, Nix refuses. Vehemently. 
  But Kessandra always gets what she wants. 
  Consigned as Kessandra's bodyguard, Nix grudgingly boards a luxurious submersible that offers the only transportation to Fall. It's frustrating, irritating, how quickly Nix and Kess fall back in sync--much as she tries to fight, Nix can't deny their spark. But Kessandra wasn't truthful--surprise, surprise--and Nix quickly realizes their "investigation" isn't about the massacre, but rather what caused it: an illness that incites its victims into a violent craze. 
  When another royal is brutally murdered, it becomes apparent the disease has spread--and no one on the submersible is safe. Suddenly, survival hinges on trusting each other, which would be a hell of a lot easier if Kessandra didn't keep lying. Injured, fighting for their lives, Nix has to decide if she can trust Kessandra again... and what she'll lose this time.

  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.

  Starting over after retiring as an Army Ranger shouldn’t be this hard... 
  For twenty years, I traveled the world as a special operations warrior. Newly retired at forty-two, I’m back in my hometown of Mount Hope, pursuing a second career as a small-town firefighter. My meddling sisters and best friends all have opinions about my life, but the only person who seems to truly understand me is Caleb, the younger firefighter tasked with my training. 
  After a lifetime of denying my attraction to other men, Caleb reminds me of everything I’ve missed out on. I’ve never even kissed a guy. 
  Until now. 
  Until Caleb. 
  Until I push our growing friendship to the next level. While sneaking around like a pair of teens, trying not to get caught by our coworkers, friends, and family, our sexy connection leads us to some...interesting places. 
  And it turns out that I like taking risks. I’ve never wanted a relationship, and neither of us should be fooling around with a coworker, but we keep courting danger. 
  The more time I spend with Caleb off and on the clock, the more I like him and the less certain I am about everything else in my life. The one thing I know for sure is that I can’t afford to lose this intense bond we share. Can we find our way from super secret to super real before the clock runs down on this fling? 
  OFF THE CLOCK features two coworkers with an age gap finding out that opposites really do attract and that first impressions aren’t always accurate. All the big emotions, small-town feels, and hot romance readers expect from this acclaimed author. While certain subplot threads continue throughout the series, each guaranteed happily ever after stands alone!

  Hello Stranger - Musings on...

  Manuel Betancourt's Hello Stranger explores modern queer romance and the expansive possibilities of ephemeral intimacies 
   
   
   
  "Hello stranger." As an opening line, you really can't ask for better. 
   
   
   
  Hello Stranger is a book about chance encounters—at a bar, through social media, in a bathhouse—and what a stranger can reveal about who we are and who we could still yet be. A stranger, after all, is a site of endless possibilities. 
   
   
   
  As Manuel Betancourt looks back on his past relationships, he turns to characters and narratives that helped him question notions of what monogamy and coupledom (and relationships and marriage) can and should look like. From films like Before Sunrise and Cruising to the poetry of Frank O'Hara and the musicals of Stephen Sondheim, Betancourt uses pop culture to make sense of the alluring prospect of forging intimacies with strangers—even, or especially, the strangers within ourselves. 
   
   
   
  At once a personal excavation and a broad cultural critique, Betancourt grapples with everything from online sexting and real-life cruising to divorces and throuples. Hello Stranger examines the intimacies we crave, value, and oftentimes destroy with rote familiarity.
