Mac Meyers. 

My secret crush. 

Most unattainable guy on campus. 

Relentless flirt (except with me). 


Being friends with the guy on campus that everyone wants comes with its own set of problems.


None of us can eat in the cafeteria without being interrupted ten times.
Well, I’ve had enough.

So the most unhinged thing comes out of my mouth: I tell them to leave my boyfriend alone. 

Except Mac is not my boyfriend. 

Not even close. 


Until he looks at me like I have the most inspired idea.


My name is Ophelia Forrest-Hammer, and Mac Meyers wants to be my fake boyfriend.

But I wish he was my real one.

 THE VILLAIN

Viv Allen

Release Date: August 7 


Meet Viv Allen:

Viv Allen lives on the east coast of the United States where the air sometimes hurts her face. She likes nature (but, like, from indoors) and anthropomorphizes too many things including her coffee-stained keyboard (his name is Joe). When she’s not writing about love, she’s herding her three cats, two children, and one spouse.

“My face will be the last thing you’ll ever see.”

“Promise?”

Devlin

After falling from my criminal kingpin throne, I know my days are numbered. So I can’t say I’m surprised when masked strangers snatch me off the street, throw a bag over my head, and toss me into a trunk.

Once I’m handcuffed in a dark room, my abductor reveals himself as a mountain of a man who says I killed his father. What I expect next is pain. What I don’t expect is to be attracted to my captor who oozes power from every pore…

Cian

I have a green-eyed devil chained in my shed, and I hate him. So why can’t I stop putting my hands on him? With every day he’s still alive, my crew grows more restless that I haven’t avenged my father, our former leader, while I keep finding new uses for Devlin’s mouth.

There are snakes in my crew, and hyenas waiting to steal my territory. When I’m betrayed, the one who saves me is Devlin. And suddenly keeping him alive and by my side seems like the most important purpose in my life. But we’re both villains, so this can’t end well for either of us… can it?

The Villain is a high-heat, enemies-to-lovers, captive/captor dark MM romance between a tattooed mob leader with a filthy mouth and a fallen crime lord who finds captivity exciting. Expect D/s elements, “No one hurts you but me” energy, violence, and a very happy ending.

The books in this series are interconnected standalones. See author’s note (accessible through the sample) for a full list of content warnings.

Devlin and Cian have explosive chemistry from the very beginning. What starts as a revenge-fuelled kidnapping slowly evolves into something neither of them expected, with plenty of tension, banter, and scorching scenes along the way. and watching their relationship shift as loyalty and trust developed.

The plot isn’t overly complicated, but it kept me engaged, and the pacing was solid. If you’re looking for a dark, steamy romance with possessive heroes, crime-family drama.

Promo Blitz: The Attercop by Peter E. Fenton

 


Will Charlie be able to stop the worst from happening, or will The Attercop get his wish and take Declan away from Charlie forever?


🖤Canada's sexiest detective is back on the case and fighting for his life.

🔍A novel filled with deadly games, deceit and a pulse-pounding ending.

🧡An ending that will have you rereading the previous books in the series to spot the clues that have been there all along.





 License! 

Wonderful to see that Declan and his dad  are getting on much better, never forget Mr B as she is a gem! 

The story opens on a wonderfully creepy note before unfolding into a web of mysteries, all centred around Declan. There are dangerous and violent encounters, the return of an old enemy, heartfelt reconciliations, lighter moments, a clever dog, a daring rescue, plenty of deception, and high-stakes suspense that kept me that kept me turning the pages.


Charlie and Declan's story is beautifully wrapped up, with the two of them happily in love and ready to embrace the next chapter of their lives together.

Desperation will make a man do crazy things.

Like drag my grieving son from Chicago to a queer-friendly ranch in Colorado.

I just wanted River to find himself again. I didn't expect Beau, the ranch's handsome, gentle giant of a youth coordinator, to make me question everything. Or for my son to actually like him.

Besides, we live a thousand miles apart. And my one college experience with a man could best be described as experimental and vaguely disappointing.

But my son is starting to smile again. And so am I.

Here’s hoping I don’t accidentally leave my heart in Colorado.

The CEO and the Mountain Man is a 51-k word contemporary mm cowboy romance featuring hurt/comfort, size difference, first times, and found family. It is book six in the shared world of Snow Creek Ranch. Each book can be read as a standalone, so be sure to check out the entire series!




Clark, a single dad, brings his teenage son, River, to Snow Creek Ranch after the tragic loss of River’s mum. Hoping to mend their fractured relationship, he never expects to find a fresh start—or Beau.


As the ranch’s youth activities coordinator, Beau sees the pain River is carrying and patiently earns his trust. Watching River slowly heal and reconnect with his dad was one of the most rewarding parts of the story.

Beau and Clark together was written wonderfully. 



about the author:

I write contemporary gay romance, which is to say that I curse way too much, drink exactly the right amount of red wine, and sleep far too little.

Heal Me, Love Me is a enemies to lovers sports romance and book 2 in the Off the Mat duet. It is not a standalone novel.


Rowan Cross knows exactly what it costs to lose Keaton Stafford.


He’s already done it once.


After years apart, Rowan and Keaton finally stopped fighting their feelings for each other. The walls between them are down, the secrets are behind them, and for the first time since they were teenagers, a future together feels possible.


Then a single kiss threatens to destroy it all.


What Rowan sees looks a lot like betrayal, reopening old wounds and shaking the fragile trust they’ve only just begun to rebuild. But walking away from Keaton has never been easy, and that kiss is only the beginning of what still remains between them.


They survived being enemies. They gave in to wanting each other. Now they have to find out if what they rebuilt is strong enough to last.


For Rowan and Keaton, forever won’t come without a final fight.

I was hooked from the very first book, and this sequel did not disappoint. Keaton and Rowan's journey is filled with heartbreak, second chances, and so much emotion.


The MMA scenes are brilliantly written, making every fight feel real and exciting. I also loved the contrast between the two families, which added depth to both characters.


With romance, betrayal, unforgettable side characters, an intense final fight, and a well-deserved happily ever after, this was a fantastic conclusion to the series. I couldn't put it down.

The book covers are utterly outstanding!
