The quiet one, the outgoing one, the observant one…they shouldn’t work, but against all odds, they learn the meaning of home, together.


Luka
Boston is a fresh start, a chance to live my life on my terms, rather than doing what my family expects of me. Though, to my disappointment, my anxiety and insecurities made the cross-country move with me.

When a co-worker introduces me to Randy’s Diner, at first, I’m not sure what to expect, but the warm and welcoming people who treat the diner like a second home show me a world of inclusion that I've only ever dreamed about. And then I meet not one but two people, who somehow manage to see through every wall I’ve ever tried to hide behind.

Graeme
Since my divorce, my life has been…stagnant. Other than my son, my ex-husband turned best friend, and my career as an author, Randy’s Diner has been the only way to break up the monotony.

Luka catches my attention from the first glimpse. His shy smile and perpetual blush draw me in, making the caretaker instincts I buried long ago rise to the surface. But when he befriends the one person I can’t have, I’m convinced I’ve lost my shot before I can even ask for a chance.

Denver
I can flirt and make friends with anyone, so it’s no hardship to take the new face I meet at Randy’s under my wing. Luka is adorably shy, and I make it my mission to help him feel comfortable in his own skin.

The closer we get, the more our feelings for one another grow, but it’s not just Luka I’m interested in. Where my confidence and open nature helps me bring Luka out of his shell, I feel like a fumbling teenager around Graeme. So when it becomes apparent the other man is also interested in Luka, things get…complicated.

It’ll take a lot of trust in each other, ourselves, and the new discoveries we’re making, in order to ensure the fragile relationship between the three of us lasts. But together, we might just find safety and the home we’ve always longed for.

Warrior's Walk

by Raquel Riley

Fate only takes an instant to play her hand.

Rhett Marsh
When my leg shattered, I thought my whole world was shattered.

Riggs pieced both back together again, and then he disappeared.

I never expected to see him again on the other side of the world.

Navarro Riggs is a lot of things…

Devastatingly hot.
My savior.
A brave warrior.

But, my physical therapist? Yeah, I didn’t see that coming.
I’d consider it a gift from the universe, if only he wasn’t trying his damndest to stay far away from me.

Navarro Riggs
We met on the battlefield under a hail of bullets and blood.

Our bond was instant, forged in trauma. Unbreakable. Everlasting.

He wasn’t just my patient, he was mine.

I trust Rhett with my life, but can I trust him with my heart?

End Scene

By A.V. Shener

A Hollywood dream turns into a nightmare.

In the early 1990s, Jonah Carter almost made it big. With a breakout role in a well-regarded film, he had never been closer to achieving his dreams. But behind the scenes, dark forces devised a plan of their own, costing the briefly shining star both his dreams and freedom.

Years later, Jonah is still bound to the City of Angels, living in solitude with the echoes of a long-forgotten dream. His peaceful life comes crashing down with the reappearance of his detective ex-boyfriend. Hayden is investigating the disappearance of a young actor, and the bloody signs all lead back to Jonah’s mysterious past.

As his buried secrets come roaring back, Jonah must join forces with the man he thought he’d lost forever. But how can they defeat the ones who live in the shadows?

Don't Scare Me, My Love

by Flynn Woods

He tries to scare me. I scare him back.

Nicholas loves horror movies, creepy places, and gory stuff. It makes him feel alive.

While traveling around the country filming for his MyTube channel, gas station owner Jason catches his attention. Not only does he wear an eye patch, but his stories about how he got it are gory and entertaining—even if they're clearly made up. They talk longer than expected, and soon, they compete to see who is the crazier one. It ends with a dare: If Nicholas can scare Jason, he'll go on a date with him.

Challenge accepted.
There is only one problem: Jason is not so easy to scare…

Finding Delaware

by Bree Wiley

On the track, we can pretend, but we can't outrun our secrets forever.

Taylor
Only two things matter to me in this shitty town: freestyle motocross and my best friend.
They’re my only escape from my father’s fists, but one slip in junior high almost changed everything. I confessed a secret to a beautiful boy, and I’ve been punishing him—and myself—ever since.

I can’t have Huckslee the way I want, so I take from him in the only way I can—with violence. When my mother wants back into my life, and I’m forced to move in with the object of my obsession, the lines between hate and desire begin to blur. I’m not sure we’ll survive each other.

Huckslee
High school is hell when your worst enemy knows your darkest secret.
To everyone else, I’m the perfect son: swim team captain, football running back, and the Bishop’s golden boy. But beneath the surface, I’m hiding desires only one person knows—my bully, my tormentor, my crush. And starting tomorrow, my new stepbrother.

Taylor has wielded my secret like a weapon for years, making my life a nightmare. Now, he’ll be living right down the hall. Each encounter with him cracks my facade a little more. How long can I wear this mask before it shatters completely?

Sweet Like Whiskey

by Emmy Sanders

The only thing worse than letting him in is the thought of letting him go.

Jackson
If there’s one thing I don’t need upsetting my quiet and comfortable routine in the small town of Darling, Montana, it’s newcomer Ash Alcott crash landing on my family’s ranch like some sort of blonde angel.

I don’t need his flirting. Or his smile. I don’t need the way he makes me question whether or not I’m truly happy being alone at forty. I certainly don’t need to be giving him riding lessons or appreciating the meals he cooks for the ranch.

The man is dangerous for my equilibrium. And he could up and leave at any given moment, tiring of this way of life. It’s happened before.

No, I’m better off ignoring the way he looks at home in a new pair of boots and how my family and the ranchers all adore him. Ash may have brought some sunshine into our lives, but it’s best he learn sooner rather than later…

Ain’t nothing sweet about being saddled with a cowboy like me.

The Beautiful Mess

by Aimee Nicole Walker

A heroic, sworn bachelor risks his neck to save lives, but his heart needs a daring rescue.
​
Kerry likes his beer cold, his coffee hot, and sex without strings. Running an emergency response crew takes up most of his time, and he reserves the rest for his family. Besides, he’s experienced enough heartache for two lifetimes and isn’t looking for more misery. Kerry’s carefully crafted peace shatters when he meets Keegan, a hazel-eyed hottie and his brother’s new friend.
​
Falling for Kerry is a collision waiting to happen, but Keegan can’t resist the heroic hunk’s charm. Smoldering eyes and wicked grins tempt Keegan to go flat-out, even when he’s barreling toward a dead end. Rejection is the last thing his newfound confidence needs, but the crash might be worth the risk if Kerry’s there to give him mouth-to-mouth.
​
A crowded bar. A slow song. Months of mutual pining reach a fever pitch, and the invitation is out of Kerry’s mouth before he can stop it. Three minutes. Two battered hearts. One dance that changes everything.
​
Brick by brick, Kerry and Keegan dismantle the walls around their hearts to build something beautiful together. But old habits die hard, and traumas are slow to heal. Their love will either be the most beautiful gift or the messiest mistake.
