His co-guardian is Dalton, his sister's almost boyfriend from high school, back in Wilcox to keep a promise to her. Moving in together was supposed to be temporary and practical, with rules. The rules do not survive 3 a.m. feedings and arguments over kale chips. A slow burn farm romance about grief and learning to parent.

Longboat Key is about as far from the streets of Detroit as a group of gay former mobsters can get, which is the point: threats from inside their own organisation put them in witness protection. Richard is tending bar, working out who he is outside organised crime, and flirting with Daniel, the cute single dad who turns up every Wednesday. Then Daniel's past as a hacker catches up with him, and the only skills that can help are exactly the ones Richard is trying to leave behind.

Jace never expected to drive a car, let alone a spaceship, until Earth is attacked by the Khul and he turns out to be able to access ancient Altaeth technology capable of destroying them. That makes him humanity's representative to the stars, and puts him alongside Commander Khoth Voor, a haughty alien officer from the only force the Khul have ever struggled against. Note that this is a serial: every instalment ends on a cliffhanger.

Tristan inherited Hoxne Grange from his uncle, along with the job of caretaking a Gilded Age mansion that serves as a way station for spirits on their way out. His loving relatives would rather have him declared insane and his trust fund freed up, so they hire a team of paranormal researchers to prove the place is not haunted. Wolf has spent his life debunking the supernatural and is looking forward to blaming the floorboards. The Grange has other plans.

Rose rode the Thai Y-series rollercoaster for nearly ten years before a scandal pushed him aside, and My Reality the Series is his last chance at the payment he is owed. Nok never wanted to be a lead at all, but his family is in debt and his sister's school fees are due. Falling in love was not in the script for either of them, and while the industry sells same-sex romance on screen, off screen it can end careers.

Josh is having an excellent time at a comic convention right up to the moment he discovers he is a werewolf. Before he can process any of it he is whisked off to a secret lair by Nero, a very attractive man dressed as a Roman centurion, and informed that his chemistry degree now belongs to Wulf, Inc. Nero would much rather be hunting the demon that wiped out his pack than babysitting a trainee. Werewolves who need tech support, and geeks who deliver.

Exiled to China for twenty years, Lucien never planned to come back to England, and certainly not as the new Lord Crane. His father and brother are dead in circumstances nobody wants to explain, he has inherited the family's enemies along with the title, and he needs a magician quickly. Stephen has excellent reasons to hate Crane's family and the professional obligation to help him anyway. Evil is soaking through the house while Stephen falls for entirely the wrong man.
