SPOTLIGHT!! Blood of the Fallen: MM Vampire Romance by Dakota Rebel
Who decided to put a fallen angel and a gay vampire in charge of saving humanity?
The concept of Armageddon has been thrown at vampire turned international arms dealer, Drake Brokk, his entire life. But he never expected to find himself in the middle of it.
When Elijah Abrams, a fallen angel disguised as an FBI agent, tells him that the ultimate battle between good and evil is threatening to explode, Drake has a hard time accepting it. He certainly can’t believe it’s up to him to stop it.
Armed with only an ancient sword, a kleptomaniac elf and his rapidly unraveling wits, Drake can’t help doubting his ability to save the world. And he knows for sure there’s no weapon forged that could keep him from falling for the angel that’s charged with helping him.

Aftermath (Ever After Book 3) by Tanya Chris
The Ever After series concludes in Aftermath. Tragedy, redemption, love… Ever After
Once upon a time, Casey flirted with a pretty boy at a bar, and that changed everything. Recently released from jail, he’s starting to rebuild without the family who raised him to hate himself. He’s got a new job, a room at his aunt’s, and community service hours at an LGBTQIA community center. But his biggest challenge is figuring out how to live as the one thing his father and brother drilled into him he could never be: a gay man.
Once upon a time, Brooks was a confident Dom with a particular taste for bigger men. But since his run-in with a dangerous homophobe, he’s lost his touch. Big, buff guys are hot but scary, and hurting people isn’t as much fun as it used to be.
Until he meets Casey, the big guy with the problematic past. Casey’s willing to do anything, but does his submission stem from healthy kink or from an unhealthy need to be punished? And is Brooks doling out release or revenge? Two people who share a past as violent as theirs could never fall in love. Unless, somewhere in the aftermath, there’s forgiveness.
Content warning: internalized homophobia, homophobic language, and references to homophobic hate crimes that have occurred in the past

Out of Choice: A Vampire-Shifter romance story (Perfect Timing Book 3) by Aimee Brissay
Vampires and shifters, enemies since the dawn of time, now coming together against a bigger threat.
Coming home should be comforting and safe. But when you’re Valentin, the only survivor of your coven’s destruction, going back to your homeland is never easy.

Especially when the High Council and most of the vampire families would do anything to get their hands on the stone. And of course, being mated to a shifter isn’t winning Valentin any points with neither of their kinds.
For Shawn, being home with his mate should be the best time of his life. Except they must face the entire world and the stupid stone that could help them is nowhere to be found. To make matters worse, the house seems to hate him. How can he face the Council in these circumstances?
With Valentin slipping more and more under the house’s influence, can Shawn keep his mate alive until the very end?

A Little Sin by Sionnach Wintergreen
Sheriff Avery O’Rourke has tried to obey his strict Christian faith and lead a “normal” life. In 1923 in a rural East Texas town, “normal” means heterosexual. A cholera outbreak has made Avery a young widower, so he is married to his job. When a murder investigation forces him to confront his truth, will he finally be able to accept being gay?
Veterinarian Garland Sands has returned from Europe to take over his father’s practice. Struggling with shellshock (PTSD) and heartbroken by the suicide of his French lover, he resigns himself to a quiet, solitary life as a country vet. But the murder of the town doctor brings the sheriff to Garland’s doorstep looking for help with the investigation. Seeing Avery awakens dormant feelings. Can he love a man who hates what he is?
This isn’t the lavish 1920s of The Great Gatsby. This is the flip side of that coin—rural East Texas. No electricity. No indoor plumbing. No flappers. In 1923, the timber barons have left and racism, homophobia, and sexism thrive.
A Little Sin is a realistic mystery with unlikely heroes and a timeless romance between lovers caught in a world where their love is forbidden. This book contains steamy sex scenes and is intended for adults only.

Mating A Country Star: A M/M Nonshifter MPreg (A Port Hope Small Town Romance Book 2) by Kenna Grace
A billboard smashing country artist. An intern reporter looking for his big break. They’re both about to get more than they bargained for.
Interning doesn’t exactly pay the bills, so when omega Sam gets the chance to compete for a full-time reporter position, he jumps at the opportunity. All he needs is a story to blow away the competition, and he knows just where he can find his big break. Enter Luke Ryan—the country artist of the year. The alpha is notorious for turning down interviews, but where there’s a will there’s a way. All Sam wants is a story to jump start his career, but after a night of passion, he ends up getting so much more—a baby growing inside him.
An unplanned pregnancy is the last thing alpha Luke Ryan needs. The press already painted him as country music’s poster child alpha-hole. Getting an omega he met on tour pregnant certainly won’t help with the image. The media would have a field day if they found out. But the country star knows what it’s like to grow up without an alpha figure, and vows not to make the same mistake as his father. Luke will do whatever it takes to prove to Sam he isn’t the alpha-hole the media makes him out to be. Even if that means risking his career.
Mating A Country Star is the second book in a series taking place in the fictional small town of Port Hope. It’s a contemporary mpreg featuring an omega looking for his big break, a larger than life alpha who’s rocking the billboards, and of course, a HEA. Mating A Country Star is book two in the Port Hope series and can be read as a standalone.

Six months after meeting Cian, the start of the rest of Mitch’s life is so close he can almost taste it. With his high school exams behind him, he can look forward to a long summer, his first Pride festival in Dublin, and, best of all, moving in with Cian when Mitch starts college in September.

Omega in the Middle: A Non-Shifter MMM Mpreg Romance (Triple Heat Book 1) by Braylon Black
Charlie Cox is a strong, independent omega who doesn’t need an alpha. Until he falls in love with two of them.
All straight-A college student Charlie Cox wants is a quiet place to study and rest his head, away from the obnoxious partying and drunken debauchery of his dorms. But moving in with two hot, hunky alphas proves to be an order of magnitude more distracting than he ever anticipated.
Gavin Grey and Luca Burnett are best friends and roomies, but the driven, hard-working alphas are more than that, too: they’re secret lovers, with plans to eventually add a third—an omega to share between them. But that’s not their main priority. For now, they’re far too busy racing against the clock to buy back Gavin’s childhood home from a developer before the house is demolished.
All they want out of Charlie Cox is a responsible roommate, but the strength of their desire for the young omega proves too powerful to resist, and they just can’t keep their hands off of him. Soon, all three find themselves wrestling with unintended consequences that threaten everything they’ve been working so hard to achieve.
Omega in the Middle is a 65k standalone, non-shifter MMM mpreg romance and book one of the Triple Heat series. This is a light, fun, zero-angst story with LOTS of steam, no cheating, and a heart-warming HEA.

Tripping Over the Edge of Night by Layla Dorine
Going home had never felt so wrong.
When Derrick received the phone call informing him of his mother’s death, it felt like the bottom had dropped out of his entire world. Gone was every hope and ideal he’d left home with, replaced with the bitter realization that he’d run out of time, run out of plans, and was desperately close to running out of give-a-damn.
It doesn’t help to come face to face with his older brother, Ray, who’d spent much of his childhood either ignoring him, ditching him, or complaining about his very existence. It’s enough to send him right back on the road again, or at least, it would have been, were it not for a house, a cat named Slash, and Mason, his best friend-with-benefits, now the head librarian in town and hot as sin.
It was hard enough leaving Mace in the first place, but a second time? He didn’t think he had it in him to be so heartless. Twelve years ago he’d slipped away under the cover of darkness, without even a single goodbye. Now, standing on the edge of night, looking down at the tiny town he’d fled, Derrick is left with one burning question:
Can the door to the past ever be closed enough to allow space for the future?

Chasing Chance: Gilcrest University Guys Book One by M.E. Parker
There are moments in your life that become part of you. They become so ingrained in your memory that you can’t let them go, no matter how hard you try. Some may seem small and insignificant when they happen. Others are so big and important that you know, even while you’re in the moment, that your life will be forever changed. For me, almost all those moments—both the small and insignificant as well as the big and important—were moments I shared with Chance Wyrick.
If I were in a support group for hopelessly pathetic gays, I’d have to introduce myself by saying, “Hi, I’m Andy Michaelson and I can’t stop myself from thinking about Chance Wyrick.”
From the time we met, when we were only six years old, and for the next twelve years, he was my best friend. I fell in love with him along the way. I couldn’t say exactly when it happened, only that it happened.
Words of advice:
Never fall in love with your best friend, especially if he’s one of the most popular kids at school, the best high school quarterback in the state, or if he happens to be your next-door neighbor.
But most of all…
Never, I repeat never, fall in love with your best friend if he’s straight. Nothing good can come of it. Trust me.
Our friendship was over before we finished our last year of high school. My best friend became my ex-best friend. I hoped to forget about him when I went off to college. But Chance followed me there. So did all the memories.
I tried to forget him. I did. But he was more beautiful than ever. He was the starting quarterback for Gilcrest University. He was larger than life. He was impossible to ignore. We hadn’t spoken in years, but the memories still hit me out of nowhere, and they still hurt.
By the time I started my third year at Gilcrest, I was beginning to think I’d never be over him.
As it turns out, I was right…
Chasing Chance is the first book in the Gilcrest University Guys series. It’s a full-length, “friends to lovers” romance novel. It has “coming out” and “first-time gay” themes, is stocked full of STEAM, heartache, and laughter, and it has a guaranteed happy ending. The series will follow the love stories of four college friends. Chasing Chance is the first of two books that will tell Andy and Chance’s love story.
