Hunter: $1.49 (50% off; usually $2.99)
Hunter is just a businessman who’s found his niche — providing good-looking men to a network that serves a very wealthy, very exclusive clientele. That these men are usually straight and unwilling is beside the point. He takes great joy in his career because it includes him testing each prospect to make certain he will meet the client’s specifications. However, his greatest pleasure is derived from handling special orders, where he has to track down and capture a man who has been specifically chosen, no matter what the cost. All goes well until Hunter runs up against a young soldier named Vermin. Then things spiral out of control, and the hunter now wonders if he is the one being hunted.

Testing the Waters Series: $0.99 (50% off; usually $1.99)
TESTING THE WATERS is a long fall down a well-lubed twincest rabbit hole.

When I turn down a night of clubbing and decide to stay in, my brother sends a ”party favor” up to my suite instead… one that turns out to be too young, too male, and too goddamn perfect for me to turn away.
So perfect that I just might decide to keep him forever.
Take It, Boy: $1.49 (50% off; usually $2.99)
TAKE IT, BOY is a 24,000-word porntastically delicious little piece of gay smut which can’t in any way be mistaken for an actual romance… unless you’re a twink like Charlie, the cheeky little shit. He totally spoiled the author’s plans to write a dirty little non-con by being far too eager and enthusiastic and categorically refusing to say no to the hot cop who was so deliciously mean to him.
Don’t touch this one if you can’t handle OTT instalust, a ridiculously porny “plot,” and a fisting scene that will put Charlie’s size-queen claim to the test… but if you’re into scowling alphaholes and the starry-eyed twinks who turn into heart-eye emojis when the right man tells them what to do, then snatch this one up quick! I promise, boo, this tasty little treat will definitely be your jam.
