His Only Lifeline by Layla Gray

About His Only Lifeline by Layla Gray:

Ian keeps secrets. That’s all he’s ever been good at. He keeps the red scars and bruises hidden under his sleeves. He plasters on a smile when the sadness threatens to consume him. He watches from the sidelines as the love of his life, Liam, hooks up with every girl in sight, thinking Liam didn’t feel the same way about him. When Ian discovers that Liam’s hook-ups aren’t exclusive to women, a small bit of hope arises inside him, only to be crushed by a clear rejection from Liam that leads to Ian disappearing without a trace.

After months of searching, Liam finally finds Ian, but he’s the shell of the man he once was, unable to speak and terrified of the simplest of things. He only lets Liam back in his life under one condition: Liam can never ask him what happened during the six months they were apart. Desperate to have Ian back under any circumstances, Liam agrees, but soon regrets it as Ian’s secrets threaten to destroy him. Will Liam discover what happened to Ian in time to save him or will Ian’s secret-keeping tear them apart and break him in the process?

My Ex-Best Friend by Vico Black

About My Ex-Best Friend by Vico Black:

It had always been Rey and Connor against the world. But when Connor became the star quarterback, the popular crowd tried dragging him away from me.

On the verge of losing him for good, I confronted him, and the spark we’d ignored since eighth grade finally ignited its kindling.

Now we’re falling for each other in small-town Texas where one rumor can ruin you, loving the wrong person can turn you into an outcast, and being yourself is as risky as kissing a rattlesnake.

My Ex-Best Friend is a tender YA gay romance about ex-best friends who discover their feelings for each other run deeper than they’ve admitted. Perfect for fans of Heartstopper, Love, Simon, and other heartfelt LGBTQ+ coming of age romances.

I Hate When My Christmas Tree Tries to Eat Me by Mary Black Rose

I Hate When My Christmas Tree Tries to Eat Me by Mary Black Rose

What happens when your Christmas tree has a mind of its own—and it’s hungry?
*
This is a collection of three LGBTQ, light-hearted cozy-horror tales about love, chaos, and carnivorous evergreens.
*
Story 1:
I’ve dodged my parents’ “come home for Christmas” guilt trips for years. No more screaming cousins, or Uncle Orem smelling like sadness and pickled feet, and definitely no more green Jell-O “salad.” But when my excuse-job dies, I end up working at Dirk’s Tree Farm. Easy—until the trees start whispering, my boss gives off horror-movie energy, and Tali—my coworker—might be flirting… or sealing my doom.
*
Story 2:
I just wanted the perfect tree for my pregnant girlfriend. Instead, I brought home something with teeth. Now I’m fighting for festive survival between cuddle time and killer-pine attacks. I wanted cute and cozy, not carnivorous.
*
Story 3:
I’ve waited my whole life to leave Dirk’s Tree Farm. Good trees obey… but when chaos erupts, I escape to find out what it means to be a real Christmas tree. Maybe I’ll find love, purpose, and a human snack or two. Pig meat gets old fast.
*
Grab some cocoa and a blanket—but skip the tree trimming this year. These evergreens have bite!

Seduced by the K-POP Star

About Seduced by the K-POP Star:

A viral kiss. A public truth. A love story told in daylight.

Entertainment journalist Kyle McAllister swore off secrets after a broken relationship. His next assignment—shadowing Korean K-pop idol Hak-Kun in Los Angeles—should be strictly professional. But behind the camera flashes and flawless choreography is a shy, funny artist who’s tired of hiding. Late-night tacos, quiet rooftop talks, and a moment on a moonlit beach spark a connection neither expected.

When a blurry photo explodes online, management spin and media noise threaten to drown out what’s real. Kyle must protect his integrity—and his heart—while Hak-Kun decides whether to step to the mic and speak his truth. Choosing honesty could cost him everything…or open the door to a life finally lived in the open.

Set against neon LA nights and the glare of celebrity, Seduced by the K-POP Idol is a sweet, closed-door MM celebrity romance about courage, consent, and finding a hand to hold when the lights come up. Slow-burn tenderness, found-family support, and a hopeful HEA.
