Marcus “Diesel” O’Shaughnessy is a brash, oversized CrossFit enthusiast with a naked lady tattooed on his rippling forearm. Jamie Prince is a private school teacher with an extremely low tolerance for bull. The two men have zero in common. Well, except for three things: they’re both moonlighting as lifeguards for the summer; no matter how hard they try, they cannot stay away from each other; and they both have secrets they’re determined to keep.

Pine Valley is a school rich in both history and legacy, and it's once more opening its doors to another year of students. Laila "Lally" Stewart is drowning her grief for her deceased best friend the only way she knows how—by partying, isolating herself, and leaving her friends behind—until her school notices her debauchery and gives her one last chance to prove she is worthy of its hallowed halls. Only, it comes with a price tag she can't pay, at least not until she finds herself involved in a game called Risk, where the stakes are high, but the payout is higher.

Buying a house was supposed to be a good investment. Too bad I bit off more than I can chew. Between my job at the bank and my utter lack of home improvement skills, I’m in way over my head. Then a friend suggests I hire a handyman. Enter Tyler. Tyler is down on his luck after a recent divorce, and we strike a deal that he fixes my house while I give him room and board as part of his pay. He’s the perfect roommate, amazing at his job, and he quickly becomes one of my closest friends. But there’s something there, something I’ve never felt for another man before.

Haylee Coleman can't lose another job. Flat-out broke, she's desperate to turn her life around, pay her bills, and keep her job. But more than that, she's found a place she might belong for the first time in her life. She can make a difference here. If only Cherish would like her. If only Cherish could help her figure out how not to get fired. If only Cherish wasn't so distracting. With a bark that rivals the boss, Cherish Barkley lives and breathes her boss. She's loved Febe Aarts for decades. When the annual gala for the Holbrook Foundation looms, Cherish begs for Haylee's help.

For Dallas, the question he asked is simple. He's an open-minded guy, after all, so why wouldn't it be fine for him to play house with the kind and objectively good-looking pilot he met on his flight home? For Dallas's friends, his eagerness to say yes might be confirming something they've suspected about him for a long while now. For Kylen, the pilot, it means getting his family off his back and getting a break from them trying to help him find a nice girl to settle down with. It helps that Dallas is also hotter than the sun and kinder than any man he's ever met.

My home life was shit, but I made up for my aunt's lack of care with popularity. I was friends with everyone, did well in school, and played sports. Life outside of my neglectful home got even better when four boys made me the center of their universe. Then I moved, and they stopped talking to...

Maggie and Gwen Pierce aren't divorced, not technically. They're just on pause. Separate bedrooms, strained silences, and young kids who accept vague answers as fact. It's easier than admitting their marriage is over. Except Maggie hasn't told her best friends. When the group heads to Vegas for Pete and Danica's bachelorette party, their friends are so excited to invite Gwen for the first time, thinking Maggie and Gwen are the happily married couple of the bunch. So, to keep the peace, they decide to fake it. A smile here, a kiss on the cheek there. Just until the weekend is over.

I've been bred for success. As the CFO of my father's wealth management firm, I know exactly what's expected of me and the image I must uphold. To the outside world, my long-term girlfriend and I are beautiful, powerful, successful…and rich. However, the suit I wear hides more than my cut physique. Living a lie has been the norm since I was a teenager. Although not ideal, I have a great woman by my side and a promising future. Everything is as it should be. Until I cross paths with Dylan Ryder.

Lori Boone has always been unapologetically and shamelessly himself. Petite, with soft curls and plump lips, he's often underestimated. Until he parts those lips and the sassiness comes out. He thrives in uncomfortable situations and plots petty revenge in his free time. Facts that don't change even when he starts working for a prestigious law firm and under Gabriel Reed, his best friend's brother-in-law.

After living 50 years as a human scientist, being reborn as a fire-wielding harpy is a bit of a shock. Not to mention, Fyre is now a woman. However, she's much more concerned about the Role that has appeared at the bottom of her game-like stats sheet: The Dark Lord. That's probably fine, right? Stuck in a freezing cave, Fyre forms a pact with a ravenous Dungeon Core, which helps tunnel a path to civilization. Though she now has some semblance of shelter, the community she joins is barely scraping by itself. With the power of her fire, she believes she can rebuild it into a thriving metropolis.

I spend my days narrating steamy queer romance novels—which is ironic, considering my own love life is nonexistent and I've always thought I was straight. Until Logan. He's my best friend. My person. We've been inseparable for years, and now I'm starting to see him as something more. Then the emails start. Someone's watching me. Stalking me. And Logan is the only person I can turn to. We're together constantly, and the longer we're stuck in this mess, the harder it is to ignore the tension between us that isn't supposed to be there. Or maybe it always was. Maybe I just wasn't ready to see it.

For the record, putting the Sousa clan to sleep for five hundred years is not Amaru's fault. At least he's found his two—count 'em two—sexy, hunky, adorable, overprotective dragon mates because of it, and they'll help him wake up his clan. So why are his mates avoiding him? Especially Luka. This should not be as hard as they're making it. What are the proper tools to fix relationship problems? Is it screwdrivers?

I'm your typical small-town loser stuck in a dead-end job. Single, because dating is for well-adjusted human beings, not traumatized gay boys with trust issues. All I want is to leave my past behind and finally start living. My wish comes true in the most bizarre way imaginable. One evening, a beautiful man with pointy ears and flowing dark locks appears out of nowhere. He proclaims I am to be his 'Dark Companion' based on some stupid deal I made in a dream. Oh, and apparently he's an elven prince, the Lord of Shadows, Protector of the Nightmare Realm, and Knight of Grief Ocean.

Lillith has always possessed the ability to feel the grief of the people around her. But now she can harness it and put it to use as well. That said, her recent exploits have labeled her a monster and a villain, specifically "the Mage of Mourning." This title is a nod to both the carnage she leaves in her wake and the tools she implements in the process. But Lillith doesn't need a good reputation. She doesn't even need this life. And she certainly doesn't need to keep her hands free of blood.

My mortal skin is gone. I’m one of them—one of the Folk—and all I feel is anger. I’m going to kill the Carlin and her sons for everything they did to me. It’s all I care about. But first, I have to navigate this new world, my new skin, my new brother, and, when I fall into her clutches, my fae mother—the Brid, the Seelie Queen. I don’t like what I’m becoming, but I can’t stop it. Something’s wrong with me. Something’s missing. There’s a hollow ache in my chest, and I can’t fill it, no matter what I do. It’s like I’ve forgotten something vital from my time on unseelie land.

There are several principles of landscaping, but my favorite has always been simplicity. I'm a go-with-the-flow and keep-it-simple kind of guy. Always have been. Always will be. It's how I do my job and how I live my life. Of course, as luck would have it, it only takes one job and one indescribably hot stranger to change everything for me. Because one thing Dutton Collins is not... simple.

Rooming with three members of the same hockey team as their live-in PR Director could be a nightmare. But when they offer to fulfill my fantasies? Sign me up. The captain, D'Angelo, is my perfect man. Best friend, protector, and so hot it should be illegal, he's been obsessively in love with me since college. Shay has a rock star swagger and winter-gray eyes that are enough to make me melt. Sweet, intense, and tattooed, Shay's twin, Eden, is the heart of my newfoundfamily.

One demon. One angel. A relationship that's failed so many times. Could it really be just one human they've been missing?

My purpose in life has always been to protect my little brother. And the only way to do that is to do what my dirtbag of a father says—easier said than done. My plan is to save enough money to grab our backpacks and leave these miserable days behind us. There's no harm in having a little fun in the meantime though, is there? And the growling beast who flattens his opponents with a single punch looks like a perfectly hot diversion to me.

Hi, I'm Kit. Immortal vampire and technomage extraordinaire. You know how it goes. For the record, I am absolutely not stalking my reincarnated husband. Okay, I am, but it's for his own good. And mine. Er, assuming I can somehow figure out how to tell him he's reincarnated and a mage, and we all live in a sentient library. Any thoughts on that? I'm currently taking suggestions. One thing's for sure. He's not dying on me again. Never again.
