Take the Shot
Sometimes the heart takes the winning shot.
Nicole Neal has everything she’s ever worked for: a coveted spot on the WNBA’s top broadcasting team, a reputation built on sharp analysis and obsessive love of the game—and absolutely no luck in romance. But during the opening game of the season, one unexpected moment changes everything.
Ariana Villa, the league’s superstar point guard, is known for her fearless play and unshakeable focus. But when a soaring defensive move sends her over the sideline and straight into the lap of her favorite commentator, the world seems to stop. One look into Nicole’s warm brown eyes, and Ariana feels a spark she can’t ignore.
Their connection is instant. Electric. Impossible. And absolutely off-limits.
Caught between careers they’ve fought to build and a chemistry they can’t deny, Nicole and Ariana must decide if risking everything—including public scrutiny and professional fallout—is worth one chance at something extraordinary.
Will they protect their careers…or take the shot at love?
A sizzling, high-stakes lesbian sports romance you won’t be able to put down.

As things heat up between Taylor and Gabriel, their insecurities become relationship roadblocks. Will love become the liability they have always believed it to be, or can it become an asset?
This is the first book in the Ace of Baes series, following a queer found family to their happily-ever-afters. Accounting for Love can be read and enjoyed as a standalone. Be prepared for closed-door sports and open-door spice.
Anderson in Bloom: A Spicy Enemies-to-Lovers Romance of Love, Flowers, and Hollywood Secrets
From the author of Love at First Set, a hilariously sexy enemies-to-lovers, second-chance rom-com about a reclusive former child star turned florist whose quiet life is turned upside down when her annoyingly hot ex (and former costar) shows up in town, with plans to write a tell-all memoir.
Former child star Anderson “Andy” Ducharme is hiding—has been for a long time, if she’s honest with herself, which she isn’t.
When she suddenly cut off all ties and left LA six years earlier to work in a flower shop in coastal New England, she wasn’t just running away from toxic relationships, embezzling agents, and all the rest of her Hollywood life; she was running to something… sort of, if you squinted, and if you accepted that what she was running toward was little more than a vacation daydream she had made up with her (in)famous ex, and former costar, Nicole “Nikki” Price.
Then Nikki announces her plan to write a tell-all book about growing up in Hollywood and their tumultuous time on the Nik and Andy show, and Andy’s feelings of hurt and betrayal come rushing back. Emboldened by anger (and maybe one too many drinks), Andy does something very stupid: she texts her ex for the first time in years. No one’s more shocked than Andy when Nikki actually shows up to her small florist shop, looking for answers.
Andy is fully prepared to send Nikki away, but it seems Nikki has some unfinished business as well. Now that she finally knows where Andy’s been hiding, she’s not letting her go so easy. And with each passing encounter, Andy can’t deny the simmering physical attraction that threatens to boil over every time they get close.
But can the two of them really reunite without wrecking Andy’s carefully rebuilt life? Or is she setting herself up for a fresh heartbreak?

The Beacon and the Brine
A desperate human dreamer. A sea monster bound by contract. A forbidden romance that could set them free…or end in destruction.
After one mistake too many, Elrich’s family is marrying him off.
Arielle Triton is his future bride-to-be, gorgeous, eligible, and from a wealthy family with connections to New Atlantis…who also hides the fact they’re merfolk. Except there’s no spark toward Arielle, none of the soul-searing romance Elrich dreamed of.
Yet, Ursuline, the serious cecaelia who’s their family lawyer? From the moment he meets them, he’s drowning in their sharp gaze, living for their low chuckles, their dry wit. But Ursuline is bound to the Triton family, just as Elrich is bound to marry someone he doesn’t love. And as those feelings grow stronger for Ursuline, the tug-of-war between duty and desire become unbearable.
As the truth behind the Triton family wealth surfaces, Elrich can no longer ignore the weighted whispers or disappearances from the staff. However, learning too many secrets in the Triton household is deadly, and if he and Ursuline stand a chance of survival, he’s clutching onto one hope.
Some contracts are destined to be broken.

Hot Axe
Falling in love with my straight best friend? Tragically inevitable.
Telling him? Completely out of the question.
Everyone in Winsome knows Robbie and I are a matched set. A package deal. Ames and Robbie, Robbie and Ames.
He’s the calm to my chaos. The sun shining through my rain cloud. The guy who convinced me to be a firefighter. The man who’s known every single thing about me since we were thirteen…
Except for the teeny, tiny, inconsequential fact that I’ve been in love with him for years.
I planned to take this secret to the grave. Robbie’s straight. He’s engaged. And I’m finally-finally-ready to move on.
But one uncontrollable blaze, one daring rescue, one inconvenient injury, and one heavily-medicated, wildly inappropriate love confession later, my plan’s up in flames.
Suddenly helpful, perfect, shirtless Robbie is bathing me, dressing me, and nursing me back to health. And if being around my gorgeous bestie 24/7 wasn’t torture enough, it seems I’m not the only one having un-platonic thoughts.
But there’s no way I’m letting myself fall into the fantasy again. Because if I let myself believe this is real and it isn’t, it won’t just break my heart… it’ll break us.
And I refuse to risk our friendship, no matter how tempting the man’s hot axe might be.

His boyfriend’s a serial cheater, he’s continually passed over for a promotion at work, and he’s lost contact with his best friend.

In a chance meeting, Cosmo and Micah’s paths cross again, and tentative sparks fly. But the phantoms of their pasts still linger. In order to find a future where they can both be happy together, Micah and Cosmo need to confront their trauma once and for all.

The BRAND NEW royally romantic MM college romance for fans of Casey McQuiston, Alexis Hall and Jax Calder
The rules are simple: protect my secret and never—ever—fall for a player.
Coaching college hockey was supposed to be a fresh start for the next year anyway. A chance to leave behind the royal spotlight and just be Nils, the guy who loves the game. No one knows I’m a Swedish prince, and I plan to keep it that way.
Then I meet Adan. Talented. Fiercely competitive. And somehow, despite every rule and reason not to, I can’t stop wanting him.
He’s not much younger than me, but I’m assigned to work one-on-one with him. I’m technically his coach, and I’m supposed to be the line he doesn’t cross. But then we kiss and everything blurs. For Adan, it’s a first. His first time with a man. His first time questioning everything he thought he knew about himself. For me, it’s a risk I shouldn’t take—because if anyone finds out, I could lose more than just my job. Adan thinks I’m afraid of getting caught. But he doesn’t know what’s really at stake.
There’s no chapter in my playbook for this. And no easy way out—except risking it all.

My Kind of Guy (Hockey Guys: a series of MM stand-alone novels)
He’s a backup goalie with a broken game. The only thing he needs more than a win is the hot, grumpy bartender who pours his weekly beer.
Becker James is having a spectacularly bad season. Once a top draft pick, he’s now riding the bench in the minors, one failed save away from being cut. The highlight of his week? A lonely hour on a barstool at Sportsballs, Denver’s queerest watering hole—and Forest, the bartender with flannel sleeves, a gruff voice, and a beard that stars in Beck’s dreams.
Opportunity strikes when Forest’s LGBTQ hockey team—the Stickhandlers—loses their goalie last-minute. Beck makes Forest an offer: he’ll help them beat the most hated team in the beer league, but he wants something in return—one night together.
Cue the record scratch, because Seth Forrester doesn’t do hookups. After his last one went horribly wrong, he swore off men for good. He’s definitely not falling for the awkward hottie who just stammered through an indecent proposal.
But Beck is prepared to press his case, no matter how awkward it gets. And one beer league game turns into something messier, sweeter, and so much harder to walk away from…
