The Mechanic and His Employee
Garrett
There are many things I could spend my forties doing. My twenty seven year old employee should not be one of them. He’s irresistible, and don’t get me started on what I want to do to those tan lines of his.
There is absolutely no way I will start anything with Owen.
Owen
My plan is simple; buy a crappy car, rope Garrett into helping me fix it up after work, and watch as he spends the summer falling in love with me. Add in a little lunchtime sunbathing and he’ll be mine in no time.
As long as he can get over our age difference and that he is my boss.
No problem…right?
This short story is set in the Squad Goals world, but can be read as a standalone.

Bane

Craven:
It's the little things in life that make it worth living. Today, stealing some asshole's household staff and leaving a dog dookie on his front step, tomorrow, world domination, or whatever comes up. I'm flexible as long as you don't expect me up before noon.
Bane is a 14k MM paranormal supervillain romantic short story with a warlock who probably believes he’s the best worst evil villain of all time, and his patron, the poor sod who gave him his powers and, unfortunately, knows he’s the best worst evil villain of all time.

Hot Blooded
Hot Blooded Silvia Violet
I thought I’d be spending a long, boring summer as the virtual prisoner of my mafioso father.
Instead, a series of bad choices left me staring down Tony Marchesi, the man who’d given me the best night of my life.
He was the only man I’d ever wanted to keep until I’d learned he was one of my father’s enemies. Utterly forbidden.
And now here he was, back in my life when I was at my lowest.
He looked ready to kill me–or ravage me.
Which would it be?
Would I survive the night? Would my heart?

Aiden
I’m well aware that I should focus on my job as a bodyguard… though it’s difficult when the man who apparently wants my boss dead has caught my interest, leaving me little choice but to pester him. Isaiah is sweet, handsome, and seems to think I might have some answers about this missing woman he’s trying to track. All I want to know is… how do I get his clothes off? (Like really. They’re so tight. Does he spray-paint them on each morning?)
Isaiah
A missing woman leads me right into the path of Aiden and the boss he’s hired to protect. I know my guard should be up around this man, but from the moment we met, there’s been something about him that draws me in. He’s unpredictable, pointing a weapon at me one moment and offering to swim under the moon with me the next. Yet maybe he’s just what I need, not only to find answers… but to fix what’s been missing in my life.

Until We Fall
Until We Fall Loren Leigh
I’ve had a crush on my best friend since I first laid eyes on him.
Rory is pure nerdy hotness. Dark red hair flopped over his glasses, freckles cresting the bridge of his nose, intelligence packed in his deep brown eyes.
Two weeks ago, something happened. A moment. A late night study session turned into his hand resting on my thigh, his eyes dropping to my lips. Then he took off, stumbling away.
Was it an almost kiss?
I don’t know.
What I do know is that it’s two months until graduation—until everything changes—and we’re on one last spring break trip with the guys. Sun, sand and beach vibes.
Time’s counting down. If I want to find out what happened with that almost-kiss, I need to do it now.
On the plane flight over, I do something I can’t take back. When he gets up, I sneak a peek at his eReader, my heart beating in my throat, my brain half telling me I’m doing something wrong. But what I read…. Well, I was right about this last spring break. Everything is about to change.

The Head Coach Charlie Novak
Wanted: The Gorgeous Musician Who Thinks I’m A Prick
When I’m asked to take over a disastrous attempt at barbecuing at a friend’s party, the first thing on my mind is getting the attention of the gorgeous musician hanging out nearby. “Borrowing” his lighter is the easiest way to start a conversation and my natural charm should do the rest.
Unfortunately Alan thinks I’m a bit of a prick so I’ve got my work cut out to convince him to give me a chance.
Just because I’m a mouthy little shit on the rugby pitch, doesn’t mean I’m a total asshole. All I need to do is show him that we’re better off together than apart.
Because being together will change our lives forever.

Would it be wrong of me to just yell "Squee!"? I have always enjoyed Charlie's books, but Quin and George are so sweet and HOT together, I just want to read it again. Oh, and did I mention Max, the most adorably clueless brother (to Quin) and Best friend (to George)? The chemistry between these two guys is perfect. I sincerely hope this isn't the last we see of these guys, because I fell in love.
Such a sweet feel good story with endearing characters. It's funny, sexy, and very in the author's style. If you already like Charlie's stories, you're in for a treat, and if you don't Snow Way in Hell is the perfect way for you to discover her!
Charlie has a real gift when it comes to crafting adorable narratives both cute and steamy that hit your heart in just the right ways. She's a go-to author when you're in the mood for something charming and low-angst that packs a steamy punch.
Charlie always writes the most wonderful, low-angst stories which are the perfect mix of sweet and sexy, and this brother's best friend, nerd/jock romance is no exception. George and Quinn are absolutely adorable, and Max is hilarious. I loved this story so much!
Oh man, did I love this! The brother's best friend trope + mutual pining + series of unfortunate events all added up to a perfect feel-good wintery story.
Sweet Summer Heat
Sweet Summer Heat Ariella Zoelle
Given the choice to either spend a summer day at an amusement park filled with screaming kids or be shot out of a cannon into the sun, I’ll gladly volunteer to go out with an explosive bang on the intergalactic trip of a lifetime. It would surely be more enjoyable than listening to children shriek like banshee demons while I slowly die of heat stroke.
The last thing I expect is to have a meet-cute with Prince Charming. As a card-carrying grump, I should be immune to Everson’s sunny charm. But something about him makes me want to enjoy the sweet summer heat and maybe, just maybe, a steamy night together.
But what happens when the morning comes?

This summer was supposed to be the start of a new chapter for me. Instead I'm left devastated and with nothing to show for it.
One night of letting it all go will cost me nothing right?
Three masked men offer me that sweet blissful moment. Reminding me of who I am. The crazy one with green eyes who can’t keep his mouth off me, the leader who demands submission, and the wild card who uses me as he pleases.
They take whatever they please and tonight they will take me.

Only One Beach House
Only One Beach House K.M. Neuhold
My family’s empty beach house, my older brother’s best friend, and a long, hot summer ahead…
I thought I’d be spending my summer all alone at the beach house, writing a new book with the perfect backdrop. No family, no distractions, and definitely no long-buried crushes popping up out of nowhere to strut around all sweaty and gorgeous.
It wouldn’t be so bad if most of the house weren’t under renovation, leaving us with just one bedroom to share… and, of course, just the one bed. I’ve written enough smutty romance novels to know we only have one choice. We’re going to have to bang. Just once, to get it out of our systems.
I don’t make the rules, but I’ll happily follow them. I just hope my brother isn’t too mad when he finds out how we’re spending our summer…

KM Neuhold is an author who delivers a good story with great characters you won’t want to say good-bye to at the end of the tale!
K.M. Neuhold writes amazingly sexy and lovable men who I can't help falling in love with and rooting for. Something about her stories is just so addictive, you can't just read one.
Best friends to lovers is my crack and this book delivers the fix I needed. It's filled with a unique holiday setting, a tempting hot tub, and two friends making the leap for more. It's everything I love in a K.M. Neuhold book.
I read this in one sitting. I couldn't put it down. Caspian and Matty were adorable and lovable from the jump and I was charmed from the first page. This is everything you expect from a KM Neuhold book. Sweet, low-angst, high heat deliciousness.
For fans of bisexual awakening, full of laughs, sexy times and sweet squishy romance. Everything you've come to expect from a KM Neuhold story.

And the fool who’s been in love with Garner Ashley since long before I took this job...

And the fool who’s been in love with Garner Ashley since long before I took this job...
I’m a huge fan of all of Lucy’s books, and this short story didn’t disappoint! Love the characters, the setting, their chemistry, and throw in ghosts? You had me at hello. Awesome story!
If her effortless prose isn’t captivating enough, her charming characters will welcome you in for a visit... or, in my case, a stay—as I read this wonderful tale of a successful musician, Gent, and his long-time fan, Winter, in one sitting. If you’re looking for warm, cozy, heartfelt, and steamy romance, then look no further. Lucy Lennox delivers!
An enchanting story, with a truly satisfying happy ever after for a couple who seem to be worlds apart. Fate steps in to bring these two together - Gent gives all his efforts to his music and his fans, having little left for himself, so he’s astonishingly warmed by Winter’s care and honest generosity. And Winter is cute and amusing, gradually getting over his happy shock at bonding with the man he’s been fan-boying over for years LOL. They were a sweet and sexy delight together and I embraced their whirlwind yet sincere and deeply felt love story. I’m thrilled to see it’s a prequel to more stories in the Aster valley series!
These characters have the best names ever! Loved this sweet story with the promise of more to come with an entire series. This was like the best Christmas present you could ever want. It was shiny, happy, sexy and cute. The two MCs could not have been more different yet it was easy to picture them together like two pieces of a puzzle. I really enjoyed reading this book and can't wait to read about more Aster Valley men.
The Stargazers of Copper County
The Stargazers of Copper County May Archer
There’s nothing wrong with admiring a work of art, or so I tell myself…even when the admiring is more like peeping out my bedroom window, and the work of art is the shirtless, sweaty, body of the man who’s been mowing my lawn once a week.
But when Theo Ross peers in my window and catches me… er, mid-admiration… all bets are off.
It turns out Theo is more than someone pretty to look at. Soon we’re trading logic puzzles and drawings as coded messages, I’m inviting him inside for dinner and stargazing, and I can’t help wondering if what we’ve found isn’t a short-term thing… but something written in the stars for us all along.

LOVE May Archer’s books! Her characters and pairings are fantastic!
May Archer’s writing speaks as if being relayed to you by an old friend, one you trust to spill the goods—it’s warm, inviting, funny, charming, sexy, and downright intoxicating. “The Light” is a perfect example of all the distinct flavors she brings to a scrumptious dish. Get snowed in with Fran, Mark, and the lovable residents of O’Leary—you’ll be glad you did.
