Percy de Villiers has it all: wealth, status, and a famous name—until his father’s political scandal brings everything crashing down. Struggling with the fallout, Percy retreats to the South African wilderness to focus on his passion, nature photography. But even in the vast beauty of his homeland, he can’t escape the weight of his family's disgrace or the loneliness that shadows him.

Rob Hale, a Hawaiian travel writer by way of Atlanta, has spent years idolizing Percy from afar. When an assignment brings him face-to-face with his photography hero, he doesn’t expect their connection to spark more than professional admiration. But a chance encounter leads to an unexpected hookup, and the chemistry between them is undeniable.

As Percy grapples with the emotional wreckage left by his father’s arrest, and Rob struggles with his own self-doubts, their fling starts to feel like something more. Navigating cultural differences, class divides, and the looming cloud of Percy’s family drama, the two men must decide if they can turn their brief romance into something lasting—or if their relationship will fall apart before it ever truly begins.

Rowan Chadha’s job as a children’s librarian might be temporary, but at least it comes with adorable, hilarious patrons. When he bumps into Jordy Shaw—NHL star and super-hot dad of one of his favorite library kids—at a charity event, he suggests they team up as a fake couple to fend off unwanted attention, never expecting the connection to last.

Jordy is in desperate need of a new nanny, and his daughter, Kaira, already adores Rowan. When Rowan’s apartment becomes uninhabitable just as his library contract ends, Jordy offers a stop gap solution: Rowan can crash in the nanny suite in his home and help with Kaira while Jordy trains for the new season—just until Rowan lands a new job and Jordy can find permanent childcare.

As the lines between fantasy and reality blur, the attraction that’s been simmering between them bubbles over, but while they’re free with their bodies, they struggle to defend their hearts, knowing their arrangement has an expiration date. After all, Rowan’s a librarian, not a nanny, and Jordy could be traded at any moment.

Their arrangement is temporary, right? Or maybe some things are worth staying for….

Gregory Montrose and Fillian O’Connell grew up next door to each other, with a tall fence separating their families.

Fillian, now a state trooper, grew up with plenty of love and little else, looking over the fence at the neighbor’s pool he never got to swim in. His family barely made ends meet and he worked hard for everything he has—including making it to the police academy, graduating at the top of his class, and landing a posting in the Carlisle area.

Gregory had everything growing up, at least on the surface, but it was all for appearances. He looked over the fence at the family who did everything together and listened to his parents fighting most nights. His parents made sure he had all the advantages money could buy, but little else.

When a domestic disturbance call reunites them, both men have changed, and yet they are so very different. Fillian has the life he’s always wanted and Gregory is struggling to raise his niece and nephew. Attraction surprises them both, and as heat builds between them, family disasters threaten to either blow them apart or forge them stronger, like steel.

Holidays this fun can’t be legal. When a cat burglar dressed as Santa targets a glitzy Manhattan high-rise, the holidays get unhinged.

As superintendent, Mark Almeida needs to keep the residents safe, and as a former NYPD cop, he knows he can crack the case without any help… until he meets a suave stranger too handsome for his own good who pushes buttons Mark didn’t know he had.

As the holly-jolly crime spree unfolds, Mark wrestles with duty and desire while juggling festive clues, lavish gifts, and stolen kisses in time for a truly crooked Christmas.

St. Nicked, the newest contemporary romance from Damon Suede, combines the tension of a mystery with feel-good romance in a way only Damon can deliver. 

"A miraculous mashup of To Catch a Thief, Only Murders in the Building and I Saw Daddy Kissing Santa Claus, this playful holiday tale is full of sparkling dialog, genuine New York chutzpah and smoldering sex appeal. The characters speak their own language, and the reader is genuinely excited to be welcomed into the bubble. The fun, knowing nods to favorite holiday movies and traditions make it bubble and the thoughtful revelations by both main characters keep it from being too sweet. This was a fun read, and we rooted for our good Santa to embrace a little naughtiness, and our naughty elf to be genuinely good. The gift at the end was that our every wish was granted. A delight from start to finish."  Amy Lane

But when Garth looks around for her irresponsible owner, he finds a fey panicky disaster desperately trying to keep his dog from getting eaten, and realizes Milo is simply new to dog ownership, not neglectful or cruel.
