Steam and Smoke

Twenty years ago, they were partners in everything. Now they're professional rivals forced to work together to save the magical world from conspiracy and destruction. Fire Master Zane Blackfire has spent two decades building a reputation as one of Ellenwood's most skilled elemental practitioners. He's successful, respected, and completely alone. Exactly the way he's planned. Water Master Xavier Tidecaller has his own walls. Cool, precise, and utterly professional, he's managed to avoid his former partner for five years of careful career navigation. Some mistakes are too dangerous to repeat, and some hearts are too valuable to risk breaking twice. When a magical crisis threatens to destroy Ellenwood's most sacred sites, the Council assigns them to work together. But the crisis runs deeper than natural disaster. As Zane and Xavier investigate, they uncover a conspiracy that threatens not just magical sites, but the future of elemental cooperation itself. Forced into close quarters and constant magical contact, their professional boundaries begin to crumble. Do they maintain the safe distance that has protected them both, or risk everything on the possibility that love and trust can overcome pride and fear.

Ember and Stone

When a forbidden expedition uncovers dangerous magical secrets, four friends discover that the biggest revelations aren't about magic - they're about love. Etta has always played by the rules. As a dedicated Earth Mage, she follows Academy protocols, avoids unnecessary risks, and keeps her feelings for her best friend carefully hidden. But when she discovers evidence of a fifth element everything changes. Cadence is everything Etta isn't: confident, protective, and unafraid to challenge authority. As a Fire Master, she's used to taking risks. But the biggest risk isn't the forbidden expedition, it's admitting that her feelings for Etta have moved far beyond friendship. When their research group defies Academy rules to pursue Spirit magic, they trigger a seven-day race against time. The mountains are dangerous, the magic is unstable, and Academy forces are hunting them to prevent a discovery that could revolutionize magical theory. But the real challenge isn't surviving the expedition, it's navigating the complicated feelings that surface. As Etta and Cadence grow closer, they must choose: play it safe and preserve their friendship, or risk everything for the chance at something extraordinary.

Current and Stone

Lane came to Ellenwood Academy to study elemental harmony. She didn't expect to fall for the brilliant earth mage whose magic is falling apart. When water mage Lane joins the Academy's prestigious research division, she's paired with River, a talented earth magic researcher whose collaborative spells keep ending in magical chaos. What starts as a professional partnership quickly becomes something deeper as Lane discovers River is struggling with magical signature instability that threatens his entire career. Using experimental techniques they embark on a groundbreaking treatment that requires complete magical intimacy. As Ministry officials question their methods Lane and River must prove that love, in all its forms, is the most powerful magic of all.

Dr. Teloy by Mónica Benítez

Dr. Vila craves a change of scenery, and without a second thought, she accepts the position of medical director at a hospital in Gerona, relocating to her old house in a coastal village nearby. Her entry into the hospital occurs a couple of days earlier than planned, courtesy of a spectacular fall that lands her in the emergency room. The one to attend to her is Dr. Teloy, a traumatologist, an enigmatic woman seemingly living in perpetual tension. Dr. Vila doesn't have to exert much effort to discover that Vania Teloy is as brilliant a doctor as she is impertinent with some colleagues. Complaints quickly flood Vila's office, prompting her to review Teloy's file for potential reprimand. To her surprise, the file contains an incident from two years ago, its details mysteriously erased. Assisted by Maribel Heredia, Vania's sole friend in the hospital, Dr. Vila learns that beneath Teloy's rough exterior lies a traumatic event she hasn't learned to cope with. Now, Dr. Vila has two missions: lead the medical team and aid Dr. Teloy. There's something about Teloy that has piqued her interest, and she's not ready to give up on her.

Summaries of each book below.

Book 1: On Silver Shores

Sirens are known for their beauty and grace. Everything from their lithe figures to their perfectly symmetrical faces to the cadence of their voices is designed to charm. Pleasure of the flesh is how they sustain themselves. So, of course, Detective Carver would be the one siren lucky enough to hate sex. Ever since his husband died, Carver has resented the defining feature of his race, but when his boss calls in someone to assist with his investigation, he finds himself confronted with a problem he never expected—attraction. Jian is supposed to be just an analyst, buttoned-up and stiff and unassuming. Nothing could be further from the truth. Sure, he can put on a nice smile and act polite enough, but there's something behind his eyes that's decidedly not professional. That hunger for carnal satisfaction Carver thought long dead starts to come back to life as they work together. And he has to wonder if he's just starving or if this is a craving. [Tags: instant-attraction but not insta-love, intersex lead, interracial Black-Asian relationship, widowed lead, physical and mental disabilities, hurt/comfort, explicit open door romance]

Book 2: In Iron Stars

Her love is lethal. That's an immutable truth Saoirse's had to contend with since she nearly killed the love of her life eighty years ago. Sirens have a biological imperative to empathically bond with their partner. It's supposed to be a soft melding of nervous systems, intertwining two people as one, but people like Saoirse, a khavira, have a genetic defect that make that bond fatal to their partners. Love just isn't possible for her. She accepted that a long time ago, distracting herself with her work as an Inquisitor. So she's a bit at a loss of what to do when her boss tells her she'll be escorting her ex to a research station through uninhabited mountains. It takes over a month roundtrip. That's over a month with Iza, the woman who once was Saoirse's entire world. And perhaps worse yet, Iza's going with her husband. [Tags: instant-attraction but not insta-love, poly FFM, trans MtF lead, interracial Black-Asian-Latino triad, forced proximity, complete triangle romance, STEM romance, researchers and engineers, explicit open door romance]

Book 3: By Silk Tones

Most pureblood vampires go blind early in their life, and Minsu is no exception. That hasn't stopped him from living an accomplished life as a diplomat. Following the end of the war between the demonic Pure Clans and vampiric Khrang Bi, Minsu is chosen to participate in a political marriage with Clan Deng. He's expecting a savage and bigoted demon for a wife, but what he gets is a husband who seems too kind for his own good. Liem was selected as a mockery to this union. Born female and mixed blood, his family has never accepted him. Minsu finds himself conflicted as he grows to care for Liem. In truth, he wasn't sent to make peace. Who would expect a blind man to be a threat, after all? Minsu’s real directive is to assassinate all of Clan Deng. And that includes his new husband.

EXPIRED - The Turning of the Tables by KM Avery

I try to be an easygoing kind of guy, but sometimes things happen that really throw you for a loop. It turns out that meeting a certain badger shifter is one of those things. I’d agreed to pick him up at the airport to help out a friend, and I had no idea what I’d gotten myself into. I figured I’d pick him up, drop him off at his hotel, and that would be that. Instead, I can’t stop thinking about him—and it doesn’t help that he keeps texting me, asking for my help. The other problem is… he lives a thousand miles away and is only going to be here for a few weeks. Except that it hasn’t taken long for me to fall hard for those hazel eyes and white-streaked hair. To say nothing of the callouses on those strong hands. I should be paying attention to work—to the killer using the Arcanavirus as a murder weapon—but I keep getting distracted by thoughts of Elliot Crane. Hopefully that doesn’t come back to bite me in the butt. Who am I kidding? Everything comes back to bite me in the butt. And not in a fun kind of way, either. A MM Shifter Romance. Book 1 in Seth's Story.

EXPIRED - All of Me by Jo Aras

They thought they were protecting me. They had no idea I was exactly where I belonged. For two years, I've been in love with Max, Atlas, and Dante—three men who share everything, including my bed, my heart, and secrets I'm only beginning to understand. When my childhood abuser surfaces after twenty years in prison, threatening the peace I've finally found, my boyfriends close ranks around me with fierce protectiveness. But there's a fourth man I've never met. Cade has been absent for years, appearing only when the others can't handle what needs to be done. When he finally emerges to deal with the threat to my safety, I discover that some kinds of love require darker methods than others. The others think I'm too innocent to handle the truth about what Cade really does on his nighttime drives. They're wrong. I'm not the broken victim they're trying to protect—I'm the man who finally found someone willing to eliminate monsters for my sake. Some secrets are too dangerous to share. But some love is too fierce to question. A dark romance featuring four mysterious brothers, a boyfriend who's into their methods, and the kind of devotion that doesn't ask questions about what happens in the dark. This book contains mature themes including murder, discussion of past childhood sexual abuse (off-page), and explicit sexual content. Please see full content warnings inside.

EXPIRED - One Last Wish by Alex J. Adams

But a call from mum two weeks before the holidays put paid to said plans. Grandpa was sick and wanted to see me. He’d been a big part of my life growing up and I wouldn’t deny him that. He’s got a list too. Not a bucket list, he didn’t like that name. He had a wish list and wanted my help. What I didn’t expect, though, was the annoyingly cheerful Angus with his kilt, tattoos, and piercings. He was totally not my type Angus William Campbell was my best friend, even at the ripe old age of eighty-seven. We’d talk, play chess and talk some more. He’d boast about his high-flying grandson, Blair and I’d listen and nod. In the twelve months, I’d looked after William, I’d never seen him. He’d visited, just not when I was around, and to be honest, I was pleased about that. He was arrogant and selfish and didn’t seem to care one jot about his grandpa. Now he’s here and I’m trying to hate him. Hate his perfect smile, and his warm brown eyes but he’s pushing all my buttons, and not in a bad way, and when William asks me to help Blair fulfill his wish list, who am I to say no? One Last Wish is an MM Christmas standalone featuring a grumpy architect and a carefree carer. They come together over an old man's wish list, trying to bring a little light to his life, at the same time finding that opposites really do attract.
