Allies.
When Mafia Bosses Allesandro Martelli and Cristian Amato are kidnapped, their fledgling alliance is put to test as the once rivals are forced to rely on each other for survival.
Friends.
With the Bosses gone, Roman Amato and Emilio Martelli step up to lead their respective Families. They’ve both trained extensively for such a task, but reality is always worse. Forced to work together and trust each other as leaders and allies, rather than just friends, they quickly learn that 'Boss' is more than a title and position, it's a sacrifice.
Rivals.
The two Mafia Families were never meant to work so closely together, but in order to survive, the Martellis and Amatos need to go against everything they’ve ever been taught.
Without knowing who to trust, both the Bosses and the Families must rely on cooperation to make it through to the end… If they don’t become their own worst enemies first.

Savage
by Erin Russell
Everyone thinks the mafia is so glamorous. They make books and movies by the hundred and it's all suave guys in suits making deals in smoky backrooms over poker games.
Well, I'm the mafia prince of Oklahoma. There's no glitz or glamor here, and I hate every minute of it. But it's my birthright. Until war breaks out between my family and the Aryan Brotherhood, and I'm forced to go into hiding in a little Missouri town that's even more remote and redneck than my own.
The only upside is that I get to see the boy I used to share my home with, until his mother got sick of my dad and ran for the hills. I devoted my childhood to protecting him from my violent father, and it was the only thing that ever made me feel like a good person. Seeing him again makes me feel like that good version of myself isn't as dead and buried as I thought. Maybe there's a chance to get him back if I can scrape away the numbness and callous around my heart that a lifetime of violence has built up.
Not to mention, he's... different. He was always a shy, scared little kid. Now he's still kind of little, but he's ten pounds of confidence in a five pound bag. And he has no problem telling the homophobic killers I work with where to shove it if they don't like who he's become. I'm inspired, and I wish I could take a little bit of that confidence for myself.
I've spent my entire life rolling over and giving Father whatever he wanted. Chipping away at my soul for him, one piece at a time. With Micah's help, maybe I can get it back. Even if his methods are the last thing I was expecting...

Sett and His King
by Rhys Lawless
Bound to an old god, the only one who can save me is Sett.
I've sacrificed everything to protect my brother from Horus' twisted desires, but time is running out.
Once he turns eighteen, I won't be able to keep him safe from becoming another trophy in Horus's harem of servants.
My only solution? To summon Horus' greatest enemy, and the only god who can shatter his power- the god of violence, Sett.
Sett's reputation precedes him, but when his eyes meet mine, I see something unexpected. Not a chaotic and destructive monster, but a protector who offers salvation for me and my brother without a price.
His touch ignites something within me, and when he calls me his beautiful, I want nothing more than to give myself fully to him.
But I already belong to someone else. And if I don't conform, we'll all die in the end.

His Feral Omega Mate
by Jax Stuart
Dragons have come to Sweetwater! With their help, can the pack finally put an end to the attacks by the Northarbor aviary?
Deke never imagined he would find a fated mate, much less a dragon like Ozyn, a species thought to be extinct. He has to wonder at fate's plans not only for him, but for the pack he protects. Could his omega be the key to turning the tide in the war with the aviary? Or should he step down as Head Enforcer and help Ozyn heal from a century trapped under the fae? His heart tells him to covet his omega, but Ozyn is fiercely protective of his alpha and has other plans.
Finding Deke gave Ozyn the strength to break free of the fae and heal from his imprisonment. Ozyn wants to be the perfect omega for his wolf mate, give him all the babies he wants, and just live at peace. If only the humans and aviary would let them. After so long shut in the dark, all he wants is to be free to fly in the light, and he'll do anything to make that happen.

The Fated Mate Bandit
by Amy Bellows
I fell in love with Silver in the third grade. He was my first everything. First best friend, first crush, first kiss. When he chose me out of all the omegas chasing after him, I felt like the luckiest guy in the world.
But fate had other plans.
Just after graduation, I met Daryl. From the moment I laid eyes on him, I knew he was my fated mate. I tried to hide my disappointment. My heart still belonged to Silver, even though I was destined for someone else.
I did my very best to be a good mate to Daryl. Even when he hurt me, I forgave him and kept trying to make things work. It wasn’t until I got pregnant that I realized I couldn’t stay any longer.
Showing up on Silver’s doorstep isn’t the world’s best plan. He might turn me away. But I have nowhere else to go.

Dog Days
by Kelly Fox
Why do I swipe right on guys who look like they frequent the FBI’s Most Wanted list?
​
As a family therapist, I should probably know the answer to that question. Especially now that NiceGuy4U—a beast of a man with neck tattoos and strong (incorrect) opinions about Star Trek captains—has asked me to coffee.
​
Luckily, I have Dame Judi, my discerning poodle mix, to keep me in check. Will she approve of my latest dating disaster?
​
Dog Days, a short novella first published in the 2022 Heart 2 Heart anthology, is back—re-edited, expanded to 16.5k words, and ready for a second chance at love.
