The Manny
A.T. Brennan - 2018
Dealing with three headstrong kids who are used to getting what they want is tough enough, but add that Nathan is smart, sexy and full of surprises to the mix, and Cameron is in way over his head. Nathan knows that having any sort of relationship with his kid’s new nanny is inappropriate. It doesn’t matter that Cameron is the first man to make him feel anything in years. Cameron is off limits, but the more time Nathan spends with the younger man, the more their attraction to each other grows. As the men grow closer, they have to decide whether what they have is worth risking Cameron’s job and Nathan’s principles. Neither has ever felt a connection like this before, but both have their own demons to work through before they can be open to the chemistry between them.

Before a knee injury forced him into a year off, he was ranked the number one player in the world. Now he’s back—and intent on winning. Josh and Ryan first meet at a tournament in Brisbane. Ryan excitedly greets Josh only to be ignored. Crushed, he realizes the golden boy of tennis isn't all he seems. Only in the team-building environment of training for the Davis Cup does Josh open up enough for them to grow closer. Their developing relationship is everything Ryan ever wanted, and he is blissfully happy. But inevitably they have to play against each other, and everything changes.
Chasing Jackson
Jayda Marx - 2019
We do everything together, including going to the club every week. And every week I watch him sneak off to the back room to hook up with some random guy. Not that I can blame him for that; I’ve never admitted my feelings to Jackson. The man looks like tattooed sex on a stick and I’m a short, skinny nerd. I could never be good enough for him. Jackson- I’m a piece of crap but at least I can admit it. I hook up with random guys every week, but it never means anything; it’s just nameless, emotionless fun with other pieces of crap. The only person who sees me as being worth anything is my best friend Chase. He’s everything I wish I could be; kind, sweet, understanding. He’s too good for this world, and definitely too good for me. *This M/M friends to lovers romance is for readers 18 and up! It has no cheating or cliffhangers and a very happy HEA! It contains a man whose heart is bigger than he believes, a sweetheart who is stronger than he thinks, a hilarious mother and a very spoiled wiener dog. **My stories tend to be low on angst because it hurts my heart. They are, however, packed with sexy scenes, heartwarming moments and a healthy dose of humor. Author’s Note Thank you for your interest in my book! My stories tend to be low angst because it hurts my heart; I like getting to the good stuff and live for fluff. If “instalove” isn’t your thing, my books may not be for you. I want my readers to finish my books with a smile on their face and a fierce case of the warm and fuzzies. Laughter is guaranteed, and each read delivers its own type of drama. Thanks again for taking a look and happy reading!

A Loving Lie
Crista Crown - 2018
In the small resort town of Smokes, love is always burning… When Colton Levine got down on one knee to propose to his long-term girlfriend, he saw his future clearly: engagement, finish medical school, wedding, a few years of residency, house, 2.5 kids.

Left reeling by the revelation that his girlfriend had been cheating on him the whole time, he loses focus and ends up failing every class of his last semester of medical school. Lost and alone, he heads home to try to reclaim his sense of self, and to figure out if it’s still worth it to pursue any of his dream.

Seducing the straight guy and his best friend’s brother? It’s a tempting combo, and Zach’s not that strong. Their fling reminds Colton that his worth isn’t tied to another person, and he heads back to med school with a renewed sense of purpose, though his belief in himself is still fragile. Then Zach finds out he’s pregnant, and the baby could only be Colton’s. He’s stunned to realize he’s fallen for Colton, and he’ll do anything to protect the other man and his dreams, even if it means raising their baby on his own. But a baby can’t be kept secret forever, not in a town as small as Smokes. Not when a newly licensed Dr. Colton Levine returns, stirring up emotions Zach thought he’d buried years ago. This is the first in a contemporary mpreg trilogy of three brothers finding love in the small town of Smokes, where the embers of love burn deeply, but never die. Warning!
