The journey to forgiveness begin with goodbye...

Samuel
I don’t deserve love or happiness. The last few years of my life have been full of enough guilt and hurt for me to deny it. The pain in my body matches the pain in my heart and it’s my penance for the role I played in the loss of my mentor, a man who would still be here if it weren’t for my failure. If I can’t even forgive myself, how can those who lost him forgive me?

The guilt that drives me to help others is my only companion—even when it’s to my detriment. That is until I see him. He’s as broken as I am and wants to move on, but he can’t do it alone. I know I’m not good enough for him, but maybe he's the key to my absolution.

Rory
I spent the last two years enveloped in pain while I tried to find the man I’d loved and lost. My need to say my last goodbye and find closure keeps me driving forward, despite the pain and loneliness. If I can’t find what I lost, how can I ever move forward?

After being blocked, barred, and shut down at every turn, I’m ready to give up. That is until I run into him. We’re both broken, but maybe by helping me, he can help himself, too. He thinks he’s not good enough for me, but I found love once and lost it, so maybe we can find it—together.

Covington Acres

by Riley Hart

Colby Covington has no clue if there’s anything in the world for him beyond Briar County. His family assumes he’ll do as they do: work Covington Acres, get married, have kids. Colby doesn’t want children, and seeing as he’s never felt even an inkling of romantic love for another person, he sure as hell isn’t interested in marriage.

In his mid-forties, Vincent O’Brien is starting over in the small town of Harmony. After being cheated on, again, he’s sworn off ever falling in love. As fate would have it, Vince needs a place to stay, and Colby has a spare room.

With an immediate connection that shakes up Colby’s sheltered world, neither man expects their friendship to blossom so fast…or for a semi-public hookup to make Colby realize he’s bi. Friends with benefits is perfect. It’s easy, it’s fun, they trust each other, and neither Vince nor Colby wants anything serious.

But the more their lives intertwine, the more Colby starts to feel something he’d thought himself incapable of. Something like love, with Vince…the man who will never feel—or want—the same.

Awfully Ambrose

by Lisa Henry and Sarah Honey

Bad Boyfriends, Inc—When you can’t find a good boyfriend, why not hire a bad one instead?

Ambrose Newman is a bad boyfriend. Professionally. If someone’s parents don’t approve of that long-haired unemployed bass player they want to date, that’s where Ambrose comes in. For a few hundred dollars a night, he’ll go to dinner with a client and their parents and show them that the grass is definitely not greener on his side of the fence. It’s dead. When Ambrose brings a date to a fancy restaurant, it isn’t sparks that fly—it’s glassware.

After his last boyfriend turned out to be a cheat, Liam Connelly has no interest in dating again, but his parents are determined to see him paired off. When they come to visit, he hires Ambrose to act as his boyfriend. If Ambrose can be a bad boyfriend, he can be a tolerable one too, right? But Ambrose plays the part too well and scores an invitation to spend the Easter weekend with the Connolly family at their winery, and Liam finds himself developing real affection for his fake boyfriend.

But does Ambrose return those feelings, or is it all an act?

Stars the Color of Honey

by Mara Day

Welcome to Andromeda Valley! Roswell of the North!

ROBIN

When I wake to a crash behind my dad’s farmhouse, my life is a little in shambles. I’m unemployed, caring for my elderly father and his dog who hates me.

But when I go outside to investigate that dramatic shooting star, the air crackles with raw electricity, and I feel alive for the first time in years.

What I discover in the field will change my view of the solar system, my weird alien-obsessed hometown—and my own lonely heart.

NA’REN

As captain of a science vessel on a one-way trip across the universe, I have one sacred duty: Do not crash the blasted ship. But when I do exactly that, I find myself and my crew trapped in the small town of Andromeda Valley, with no hope of returning to the stars.

But maybe this odd small town isn’t such a bad place to be. Not once I meet Robin, the handsome Terran made of sunshine and honey, who chatters when he's nervous—and, impossibly, speaks to me in my own language. He occupies my thoughts with singular force. And I know what it means.

In the most unlikely of places, I may have found my mate.

Missed Steps

by L. Sherleen

Kyle lost part of his leg during the summer, and with it, the rivalry with his college-long crush Mark ends in a loss.

Except...does a loss usually mean that they spend infinitely more time together than they ever did when competing? And does it mean they are closer? Know each other better? Laugh more? flirt more?

If Kyle had realised losing their rivalry would lead here, he would have given in week one. Now all he has to do is get over his shyness to ask Mark out instead of cursing at him…

Kiss a Villain

by Mia Darling

Once upon a time, I saved a boy from certain death.

Fell for him so hard that I’d follow him straight to the gates of Hell, and say thank you for it.

But the problem with being hopelessly in love with Kirill Volkov is that he won't ever love me back.

On paper, we shouldn’t even be friends. He’s the grump to my sunshine and he hates to be touched while I’m touch-starved. Most of all, I'm the prince to a mafia kingdom and he's one of my father's soldiers.

And everyone knows that the Russian Bratva is a graveyard where all good things go to die.

Day by day, the Kirill I love is slipping further and further away. Now, when I look in his midnight-black eyes, only a stone-cold killer stares back.

That’s okay, though. There isn't anything I won't do to make him mine...

Even if it means that I'll need to kiss a villain.

Racing Hearts

by K.A. Knight

Pine Valley is a school rich in both history and legacy and is once more opening its doors to another year of students.

Evan Shaw has wanted to be a photographer for as long as he can remember, and Pine Valley is the place to go to make that happen. What he didn’t expect was to be sworn into a secret society with a dark history—or to fall in love with a man so filled with anger, there might never be hope for them.

Alek Anders doesn’t believe in love, nor does he have the time for it. He can’t chase his dreams like all the rich college kids around him, he has his family to look after and food to keep on the table. Then comes Evan. Everything he’s not, he pushes all of Alek’s buttons.

Love is fickle, though, and when students start showing up dead, they will either have to work together or fall apart to discover the truth.

Can the past be undone and hope be found even in the darkness?

Can Evan and Alek withstand what Pine Valley has in store for them, or will racing hearts be all that’s left?
