Blurb: Thom Baron has been struggling with social anxiety his entire life. He’s taken the medications, gone to the therapists, followed the programs, and concluded his best life is a solitary one. When he comes across a dog in obvious need at his local market, it rekindles the desire to have some company around. It may come with a dishevelled coat, a notched ear, and a refusal to respond to anything but its given name “Ugly,” but it could still be a friend.

However, Thom’s new fur buddy has no such need to keep to itself and immediately befriends the man Thom has secretly coveted since he moved in — Justin, Thom’s gorgeous, bright-eyed neighbour. No matter how Thom tries to evade the man, the dog keeps drawing them back into each other’s lives, and it doesn’t take Thom long to recognize it’s simply pursuing the demands of Thom’s own heart. With the dog giving him the courage to try, Thom reaches out to return the love being offered.

Until a stranger shows up insisting the dog is his and demanding its immediate return … a loss Thom knows will take all of his efforts and newfound confidence with it.

A Holiday Homecoming by Liv Rancourt

Ten years ago, Jon’s passion for the piano took him across country to New York, where a demanding concert career consumed his life and left him no time to look back. His father’s stroke is the only thing that brings him home to Seattle. The sick room makes for a dreary holiday until Jon runs into Bo, whose inner light can make anything sparkle.

Bo loves the holidays; the food, the crafts, the glitter! A fling with an old school friend – who grew up to be his celebrity crush – makes a good thing better. The season turns sour, though, when Jon is offered a gig he can’t refuse. He wants Bo to share the moment, but Bo doesn’t fly. Anywhere. Ever. Is this good-bye, or will a handmade ornament bring Jon home to Bo?

Exclusive Excerpt from Unfettered

by Kate Hawthorne

“Fuck.”

“Is that a yes?” Beau gave him a rich and deep laugh as he unfurled the chain that stretched between the two clamps.

“Yes.”

“Good. Same as last night, but naked.” Beau tilted his head toward the chair across the room.

Heath stood and stripped, folding his clothes before lowering himself into the chair he’d jerked off in the night before. Beau let him sit there, let the time pass, until Heath’s cock had made itself ache from the anticipation. A bead of precum leaked from his crown, and Beau finally stood up, closing the small space between them. He held the clamps out and Heath plucked the chain into his hand.

“Put these on.”

His fingers shook as he looked down, his nipples already hardened buds in the cool air of the room. He took one of his nipples between his fingers and pulled it away from his body and it hardened further. He opened one of the clamps and closed it around his nipple, gasping in shock at the sensation.

He’d, of course, worn clamps before, but he’d never put them on himself, and something about causing his own pain made it different, made it new. These clamps were small, the pinch end broad and covered in rubber, and there were small wheels that could be turned to adjust the pressure.

“And the other,” Beau coaxed.

Heath repeated the steps on his other nipple.

“Now touch yourself. Fuck your fist until you’re ready to come.”

Russ & Esteban’s Guide to Hosting the Holidays

by Annabeth Albert

Hi! I’m so happy to be here today talking about MR. RIGHT NOW, my holiday romance release which is out now and also in KU. It’s a neighbors-to-lovers, fake boyfriend, opposites attract romance with all the flavors of a season I love so much.  I love list posts where the characters get a chance to take over the spotlight, so I thought I’d bring you Russ and Esteban’s tips for how (not) to host the holidays! 

  • Plan ahead! Holiday breakups have a way of throwing off ALL your careful plans, so be sure you love the one you’re with ahead of time!
  • Don’t be afraid to ask for help! That cute neighbor next door? Maybe he owns the pot you need AND might be just what YOU need too! 
  • Get inventive! Cocktails in juice glasses? Improvised Appetizers? Don’t be scared to try new things! 
  • Make extra! You never know when the perfect fake boyfriend will come along to be your new plus one. 
  • Decorate! Beige is not a holiday color scheme, my friends. Think color! 
  • Try new things! Foods, flavors, and traditions from other cultures can add something special to your holiday season. 
  • Find someone cute for cleanup duty! Be careful not to go falling for him though…
  • Be sure to snuggle up afterwards to celebrate your successful gathering! 
  • Eggnog flavored first kisses are the best! 

Want more Esteban and Russ? I hope you check out MR. RIGHT NOW! Thank you so much for having me stop by today!

Blurb: He’s Mr. Right Now, but for how long?

When Russ suffers a Thanksgiving disaster, his gorgeous neighbor Esteban is there to save the day. And after an innocent mix-up leads to the former Hollywood hottie playing the role of Russ’s date, Russ thinks scoring Esteban as his fake boyfriend is a huge win. The newly discharged marine is healing inside and out and could use some holiday cheer.

For his part, Esteban is intrigued by his big, bad neighbor. He likes how his matchmaking cat brings out an unexpected caring side of Russ. Desire flares as the reasons to continue their ruse pile up for both men.

And pretending feels so good. From chocolaty kisses to late night cuddles, their burgeoning friendship is getting cozier and cozier. But as the end date for their little deception looms, all the real feelings they’ve tried to ignore come tumbling in. Each must decide whether they have what it takes to ring in the New Year as a couple.

Mr. Right Now is a stand-alone holiday novella with sweet, low-angst feels, spicy love scenes, and foodie inspired, quirky Oregon romance with a military flavor. Happy ending guaranteed with no cliffhangers!
