Je suis Axios, de Sparte, et je suis né pour tuer. À l’âge de sept ans, j’ai quitté la maison pour m’entraîner avec d’autres garçons. On nous a enseigné l’obéissance, la solidarité, la stratégie militaire et la résistance à la douleur. Mon éducation stricte m’a débarrassé de mes faiblesses et m’a obligé à devenir fort. Impitoyable.

Mais je rêvais de quelque chose de plus grand, d’une vie que je ne pourrais jamais avoir.

Contre toute attente et en dépit de l’entraînement le plus pénible qu’un guerrier pouvait endurer, j’ai trouvé l’amour dans les bras d’un autre Spartiate. Il était l’air que je respirais et l’eau que je buvais. Quand nous combattions côte à côte, nous étions invincibles. Là où il allait, je le suivais.

Cependant, l’amour n’avait pas sa place à Sparte. Les sentiments étaient pour les faibles. Dans la vie d’un Spartiate, il n’y avait que des batailles, de la violence et aucune garantie pour le lendemain. En temps de guerre, tous les hommes étaient mis à l’épreuve, mais le plus grand défi pour nous n’était pas celui des épées ni des lances, mais bien celui du cœur.

Une romance gay au temps des pirates et des tritons !

Le capitaine Kellan Flynn est maudit. Si les hommes le craignent naturellement, ils redoutent davantage encore le terrible démon des mers qui le possède. Les rumeurs le disent sans pitié, capable de trancher des gorges à la moindre contrariété. Pourtant, personne ne connaît véritablement le poids de la malédiction qui pourrait finir par le consumer, à moins qu’il ne parvienne à la briser.

Quand, après avoir tout perdu, l’innocent Fletcher se retrouve obligé de monter à bord du Crimson Night, sa vie bascule. Pour lui, c’est le début d’une aventure inattendue à bord d’un bateau de légende.

Mais la vie en mer est rude et tandis que le temps leur est compté, les deux hommes devront faire face au plus grand des défis. Seront-ils prêts à en payer le prix ?

Simon just wants to run his antique shop in peace.

But then he finds a small mysterious box that’s (probably) haunted, and his shop is broken into by the hottest man he’s ever seen who then steals said creepy box. Now demons are after him and his only hope is to trust the tall, muscled, combat-boot-wearing thief who claims to be the son of a fallen angel.

Galen is charged with protecting humanity from dark forces. Cursed with Wrath, he’s hot-tempered and spends his days fighting demons and trying not to kill his six brothers when they irritate him.

His number one rule? Never fall in love. But then he meets Simon, a clumsy human who asks way too many questions and is—unfortunately—a total demon-magnet, and he starts breaking his own rules.

What’s inside the box, and why do the demons want it so badly? One thing is for sure… Simon can kiss his peaceful, ordinary life goodbye.

Two men who are opposites in every way are bound to be a disaster in the making. But with a little Christmas magic, they may find they are a perfect pair.

One moment…that’s all it takes for life as you once knew it to change irrevocably. For Michael Kingston, that moment was when he first laid eyes on Gabriel. In his life, Michael had only known darkness, leaving behind a broken shell of a man. Unspeakable memories of his childhood constantly plagued him, causing him to disconnect emotionally from the world. No one had ever shown him love; therefore, he believed that he was unworthy of it. And then everything changed.

Gabriel Greyson had always been different. Growing up in a small Bible thumping town, his preferences for men, make-up, and fashion made him an outcast. But, with the support and love of his family, he overcame obstacles that were thrown his way and rose above the intolerance. He danced to the beat of his own glammed out drum and refused to believe that he was anything other than ultra-fabulous. Working as a beautician, he had a job he adored and felt that everything was perfect in his life. Everything except for true love.

When these two unlikely men meet, sparks fly. For the first time in Michael’s life, he feels like he can overcome the darkness inside of him. Gabriel gives him hope and slowly brings him out of the shadows, showing him that even the darkest of souls can be redeemed. But there are secrets that Michael keeps locked away. Will Gabriel see past the torments of Michael’s past, or will he turn away from him when he discovers the truth? After all….who could ever love a beast?

After a devastating fire takes their parents, nineteen-year-old Aeron Turner and his autistic twin brother, Aiden, are starting over.

Luke Daniels struggles every day with his painful past, just trying to piece his life back together again. Running his diner gives him an escape from the haunting memories, but ghosts never stay buried for long and old wounds leave scars that make it hard to forget.

When a random encounter brings Aeron and Luke together, they must learn to overcome their pasts or be lost in them forever.

Adrenaline junkie Kyler Michaels lives for sports, cliff diving, and goofing off with his friends at the lake. Not much makes him nervous. But that changes when he's cast as an extra for a movie starring Hollywood's hottest actor Declan Price. It's not only because Declan is insanely hot and has starred in many of his favorite movies, but the actor has also starred in his every fantasy since he was fifteen.

Not that he has a snowballs chance in hell of his silly crush going anywhere, though. Declan is straight.

Declan Price. Award winning actor, heartthrob, and the biggest faker of them all. The man he showed the world was nothing more than an illusion. As an actor, he wore many faces, but the face he had trouble wearing was his own. Coming out would not only affect his career, but it'd also stir up memories of a past he'd rather forget.

However, the stage he built his life around starts to crumble when he sees the wide-eyed, freckled cutie on the set to his new movie, and he can't ignore the desire to have the man in his bed.

Late-night hookups in Declan's hotel room soon turns into something neither man expected. Love is like a roller coaster: once it starts, there's no stopping it. And Kyler and Declan are about to go on a ride they'll never forget.

Bastian Hunter prefers structure and predictability. Suffering from a rare disease, every day is a challenge for him, and he prepares for the future by excelling academically and denying who he really is.

Being gay in high school isn’t exactly rainbows and butterflies, and Noah has definitely faced his fair share of bullies. Moving to Port Haven, Oregon opens up new possibilities for him, and he starts falling for the quiet, brown-eyed boy from his English class. Too bad the attraction is one-sided… or is it?

Evan just wants a quiet life where he escapes into books, drinks a ridiculous amount of coffee, and devours every muffin in sight. But then he's transported to another world with magic, sword-wielding knights with big... hearts, and men who find him too adorable to resist.

CASON

What do you do when you think you might be falling for your best friend's dad?

Emery Cross is everything I never even knew I needed until the night I accidentally met up with him in a hotel room. Now he's all I think about. All I want. But after a kiss that sends my head spinning in the best way, he turns as cold as his glacier blue eyes. Refusing to let me close to him.

EMERY

I shouldn't want Cason. He's young, inexperienced, and too innocent. A temptation unlike any other. His smile sends my heart racing, and when I'm with him, I forget about the things weighing me down... but it could never work between us. It doesn't matter that he wants me too, that he's persistent. I can't. Some lines aren't meant to be crossed.

Be careful what you wish for... it just might come true. Jack Taylor learns this the hard way. He's a workaholic who wants that highly sought after corner office at the advertising agency he works for, and he'll do anything to get it—even if that means constantly disappointing his fiance, Caden.

On his way home one Christmas Eve night, he's dreading the argument he knows will happen once he walks through the door. To make matters worse, he forgot to get a gift for Caden, so he makes a quick stop at a Christmas shop he's never seen before. Inside, he meets a mysterious man who sells him an antique clock. When he gets home, he and Caden fight, just as he expected, and he ends up sleeping on the couch.

Fuming from their fight, Jack makes a wish to have never met Caden. And it comes true.

Waking up in an alternate reality around Christmas, Jack has everything he's ever wanted: the perfect job, fancy car, and luxurious apartment. But he soon realizes it means nothing without the man he loves.

There's only one way to reverse the wish: get Caden to fall in love with him before Christmas Eve... or lose him forever.

Things weren’t supposed to turn out this way. My story should have been different. Happier. Maybe in another life, it would’ve been. But, life isn’t a fairy tale, and the good guys don’t always win.

I didn’t mean to cause anyone pain. I just wanted to end my own. The letter, his words—crushed me. It seemed as if there was no other way out. Nothing can change what happened, and nothing could have prepared me for what came after those two words: Dear Adam.

The first time I met Jack Frost, I was eight years old and lost in the snowy woods.

He took my hand and leapt into the air, soaring high above the treetops. Carrying me to safety. He disappeared afterward, leaving me with nothing but a memory.

Nineteen years later, I’ve convinced myself Jack was only a dream.

So why can’t I forget him? He’s so vivid in my mind, silver hair and a mischievous gleam in his wintery blue eyes. Sometimes I can even recall the sound of his voice as he said my name. There’s only one way to get answers… to return to the woods where I first dreamed of him.

What I find there is more than I ever imagined.
