For the Fans by Nyla K.

For readers who enjoy

• College Romance
• Dirty Talk
• Enemies-to-Lovers
• Forced Proximity
• Stepsiblings

Kyran Harbor is everything I’m not.

Rich. Popular. A superstar football player who’s awfully broody for someone who has it all. Basically, he’s a preppy jock who hates me. Oh, and he’s also my stepbrother.

That’s right. We’re stuck together, sharing a school, a house… A bathroom. Honestly, I wouldn’t care… If he wasn’t such an uptight control-freak who messes with me just because we’re different.

I had every intention of avoiding him when we got to college… Until abrupt misfortune forces us both into a compromising position.

Now the grouchy jerk I was hoping to evade might be the only person who can help me out of it.

Avi Vega is everything I despise.

A dreamer. A flake. An artist who smokes too much weed and thinks aliens exist. And by some sick cosmic joke, he’s now my stepbrother, following me on what should’ve been my escape plan.

It was already a disaster. Add a sudden financial disruption to the mix, and let’s just say my options are heavily limited.

If I want to stay an all-star quarterback on the way to the NFL, I’ll need to do something drastic. Unfortunately for me, and my desperate desire for control, the perpetually smiling stoner has a plan.

Maybe we can stop hating each other just enough to pull this off. As long as we remember we’re only doing it… for the fans.

War is coming, but no one knows who the enemy is.

In an ungoverned portion of the world after, three communities are on edge. Ruthless, damaged, and dangerous, Cadoc and Zade become reluctant allies to stay alive long enough to keep old promises and get the truth. The questions they ask get answers they weren’t prepared for, but lust, attraction, and new types of love trump their fears and spark new hope.

Arlo Thorne might be the name most feared, but he’s not the only threat.

A stalker who speaks in riddles.

A germaphobe living in a dirty world.

A madman with bloody hands.

Three leaders at war.

Cadoc and Zade have ties to them all.

Who will come out the other side and who is the real enemy?

Say My Name by Ashley James

For readers who enjoy

• Enemies-to-Lovers
• Forced Proximity
• Mental Health Representation

Arrogant. Repulsive. Cocky.

With an ego almost as big as his… Well, you know.

There is no length he wouldn’t go to score.

To be in control.

To win.

Life is nothing but a game to him, and I’ve become nothing more than his little pawn.

Something to toy with.

To taunt.

To mess with. And to hurt.

The wicked smirk on his face as he helped upend my entire life is proof of that.

He wants to push me to my limit until I’m begging for reprieve.

For mercy.

Or for more.

Mateo Rojas is a force to be reckoned with.

He’s everything I should run from.

And he will be my ruin.

Where There’s a Will by Jessie Walker

Lost Boys, Book One

• Enemies-to-Lovers
• Found Family
• MM Romance
• Second Chances
• Slow-Burns

He was everything I never wanted.

Impulsive. Careless. Self-Destructive.

I’m the cliché they all warn you about.

The head case with a pretty face.

If I’m not chasing the bottom of a bottle,

I’m snorting a line off a girl’s ass.

That guy you know who plays Russian Roulette at parties?

That’s me.

But that all changes when he comes barreling back into my life.

Will Foster.

The boy from my childhood.

The boy I told myself was a fluke.

A mistake.

Nothing.

It’s only a matter of time before he learns the truth.

Before he sees me for who I really am under all the bullshit.

Broken.

Tainted.

Worthless.

He wants to love me whole, but shouldn’t he know better than that by now?

Saving someone who doesn’t want to be saved is a recipe for disaster…

And loving someone who doesn’t want to be loved?

Fucking hopeless.

Head Above Water by C.E. Ricci

For readers who enjoy

• A Bi-Awakening
• MM Romance
• Second Chances
• Stepsiblings
• Slow-Burns

That’s the thing about hearts—

Like waves, they break too.

Grief.

I’ve never battled with the raw, debilitating pain that comes with it.

Then a twist of fate hits me out of nowhere, and I can barely keep from drowning.

It’s like weights tied to my ankles in the middle of a raging ocean.

I’m helpless, with no way to swim back to the surface.

But fate is crueler still, bringing my stepbrother back for the first time in years.

Cannon never wanted this family. Especially me.

Still, he’s always been my greatest desire. And my biggest weakness.

He’s unattainable.

Straight, engaged, and with a seemingly perfect life on the other side of the country.

It’s something I’d do well to remember, yet when he stays, it’s so easy to forget.

In finding solace together, we mend what once was broken.

This loss bonds us. Changes us.

He’s become more than a brother or a lover.

He’s my anchor.

So how am I supposed to keep my head above water when I’ll eventually lose him too?

Welcome to Black Diamond Resort and Spa… 

After years of drowning myself in parties, hook ups, and pain, all it takes is one viral sex tape to get me thrown on a remote island to disappear for a while. That or lose my trust fund. 

Having to share a room with the one man I let hurt me is my worst nightmare. I’m the broken shell of the boy he walked away from on the single worst day of my life. I hate him almost as much as I hate myself. This island was supposed to be a place I could rest but instead I’m running. 

From Asher Vaughn. From myself. From the scars on my heart that never healed. 

It hurts to look at him and see all the things we never got to have. But how am I supposed to keep him at arm’s length when he watches me the way he used too? When he touches me? When he calls me his? 

We can’t be together, not off this island. The straight football star and the gay femme son of famous parents. The media would rip us apart and ruin his career. I barely survived the last time he left me, can I live through being deserted again?
