When the worlds of academia and sports collide, a doctor of math and a dyslexic hockey star find that love has its own perfect equation.

Craig learned to skate as soon as he could walk, moving from figure skating to excelling in hockey and succeeding in both despite the challenges of his dyslexia. Visual aids, practical, hands-on learning, and the support of friends not only helped him in school but also honed his skills on the ice, making him a versatile and intuitive player. When he meets Jamie at a team party, Craig is instantly captivated by the handsome professor. Despite the lasting effects of a former abusive relationship that’s still haunting him, they end up in bed. Craig’s insecurities drive him away—after all, what can a professor possibly see in someone like him? His past relationship makes trusting Jamie hard. Thankfully, Jamie is not only persistent but also understanding, and despite his worries, Craig can’t help but say yes. Falling for Jamie is as easy as slipping on fresh ice.

After his ex from hell stole his research and made him the academic community's laughingstock, Dr. Jameson “Jamie” Hennessy decided to reset his life and moved across the country to live with his best friend. With everything he worked so hard for now gone, Jamie needs funding to stay on the West Coast, and for that, he needs a new approach to his research. After one too many drinks at a team party, things heat up with a sexy hockey player he can’t take his eyes off, but after the most incredible sex of his life, Craig leaves him alone in a cold bed the morning after. When Jamie’s admiration for Craig and his obsession with mathematics collide, a new hypothesis about movement in sports is born. Could Craig be the answer he wasn’t even looking for?

In small-town Wyoming, a tough sheriff and a former Navy SEAL are thrown together by circumstance. Their fiery chemistry leads to constant clashes, but as they work to solve a mystery, they can't ignore the growing feelings between them.

Sheriff Neil Windham has one mission: to protect Whisper Ridge. But when human remains surface at the Lennox Ranch, the town’s past comes back to haunt it. As Neil dives deeper into the investigation, he’s torn between his duty, his father’s declining health, and the fire ignited by the relentless, unpredictable former Navy SEAL, Connor Mason.

Connor didn’t come to Whisper Ridge looking for trouble—or a future. He never intended to fall in love, least of all with someone like Neil. But with every heated encounter, Neil and Connor’s attraction escalates into something undeniable, a force of nature they can’t resist. Now, with an offer to rejoin his old team, Connor must choose between a future in Whisper Ridge or leaving behind the only man who’s ever made him feel like he belongs.

Into the Fall is an opposites-attract, enemies-to-lovers M/M romance featuring a battle-hardened former SEAL and a dedicated sheriff. Duty and desire collide, old ranch secrets come to light, and a hard-earned happily-ever-after awaits.

Trapped in a snowstorm, Paul and Lucas find that unresolved feelings from a single, impulsive kiss could spark something deeper, leading them toward the most magical Christmas miracle.

The festive season offers nothing but despair for Paul ‘Holly’ Hollister, the once-proud captain of the Albany Harriers. His hockey career has crumbled, leaving him crippled with anxiety and without a sense of direction. After a stint in rehab, Holly is desperate for peace—something his best friend Kai seems to have found in the snowy town of Wishing Tree. Despite his hatred for the cold, Holly is drawn there by friendship—and by the unsettling dreams of Lucas Haynes, the man he drunkenly kissed at Kai and Bailey’s wedding and hasn’t been able to forget since. The only problem? Lucas is determined to keep him at arm’s length.

Lucas Haynes has never felt a romantic pull toward anyone—until that unexpected kiss with Holly at his brother’s wedding flipped his world upside down. Holly arrives in Wishing Tree, single and adrift, and Lucas can’t deny the attraction that still simmers between them. When a snowstorm traps them together, Lucas’ defenses slowly crumble under Holly’s vulnerability. As secrets come to light, old wounds are reopened, and the undeniable spark between them grows into something more, Lucas starts to wonder if this closeness could be the love he never thought he’d find—and if Holly might get the second chance at happiness he so desperately needs.

A Christmas for Holly is an opposites-attract, hurt / comfort, only one bed, Christmas romance featuring a retired hockey captain with crippling anxiety, a guarded gift store owner grappling with unexpected attraction, unresolved tension from a drunken wedding kiss, a charming small town blanketed in snow, meddling but loving family, and a snowstorm that brings honesty and vulnerability to light—leading to a heartwarming holiday happily ever after.

In the frostbitten heart of Chicago, a scarred and solitary soldier finds a second chance at love with the man who broke his heart.

Twenty years at war have left Sergeant Jasper "Jazz" Brookes battered, scarred, and haunted. His marriage is wrecked, his daughter barely speaks to him, and the world he fought for has moved on without him. Homeless by choice, Jazz manages until the brutal Chicago winter forces him to seek help from a shelter he doesn’t want to need.

The weathered building in Humboldt Park offers veterans a place to rebuild, but Jazz doesn’t expect to find Alex Richardson there—his first love, the boy who chose money over him, the one he left behind. Seeing Alex again cracks open old wounds and stirs feelings Jazz buried long ago.

For Alex, the sight of Jazz reminds him of everything he’s tried to forget. But neither man has moved on. As they grapple with their past and confront the scars they’ve carried for years, they’re forced to decide if the connection between them is strong enough to survive the pain.

This time, it’s all or nothing.

Que se passe-t-il lorsque des secrets s’éventent et que des mensonges sont découverts ? Et jusqu’où iront Riley et Jack pour jouer les entremetteurs ?

Riley et Jack Campbell-Hayes vont bien. Jack développe les activités du Double D, Riley est proche de concrétiser son premier contrat éthique, et Hayley a presque dix ans. Elle est heureuse comme tout dans sa nouvelle vie.

Jack engage Robbie comme bras droit, même si l’homme se remet d’une grande perte. De son côté, le flamboyant et espiègle ami photographe de Riley, Eli, décide que le Double D est l’endroit parfait pour une séance de shooting photo sur le thème des cowboys. Eli a des secrets, dont même Riley ignore tout. Pourtant, en dépit de ce qu’il cache, il tombe amoureux de Robbie au premier regard. Tout le monde, hormis Robbie, voit à quel point Eli est parfait pour lui.

Avec pour toile de fond vingt modèles masculins à moitié nus sur la propriété du Double D, une lutte pour la formation d’un consortium pétrolier qui ne laissera aucune chance à Riley, Un été texan est l’histoire d’un été brûlant, avec un rodéo gay, une bagarre de bar au Rusty Nail et un amour entre deux hommes qui se renforce chaque jour.

Leo Byrne è un poliziotto, Jason Banks un ex-detenuto. L’attrazione tra loro è innegabile, ma un bacio rubato non basta e Leo dovrà trovare il modo di convincere Jason che innamorarsi non è un’idea da scartare a priori.

Adottato da bambino, Leo fa parte della numerosa famiglia Byrne. In compagnia del suo cane Cap, di tre fratelli e un numero imprecisato di nipoti, è impossibile che si senta solo e la sua vita è ricca. L’amore non è contemplato nella sua lista di cose da fare, ma vedere i suoi migliori amici Sean ed Eric costruirsi nuove famiglie gli fa desiderare cose che fino a quel momento aveva considerato impossibili. Baciare Jason durante la cerimonia in cui il giovane viene premiato per il suo coraggio è una cosa, ma lasciare che tra loro possa esserci altro è fuori discussione. Fino a che Jason non si trova solo e in difficoltà, ed è Leo ad aiutarlo a restare a galla. Tuttavia, se da un lato ospitare lui e la figlia in casa sua è accettabile, innamorarsene è tutt’altro paio di maniche.

Jason ha fatto un patto per tenere al sicuro sua figlia e come risultato ha trascorso diversi anni in prigione. Offrirsi come pompiere volontario era stato un modo per aiutare la comunità, ma soprattutto per mantenere la propria sanità mentale. Ora però è fuori e non gli rimane più neanche quello. Non ha un futuro, ha perso il rispetto di se stesso e anche gli amici lo hanno abbandonato. Come se non bastasse, persino dopo essere riuscito a ricongiungersi con la figlioletta non riesce a tenerla al sicuro dall’uomo che vuole usarla come merce di scambio. L’incontro con Leo potrebbe significare la salvezza per Daisy, ma Jason sa che innamorarsi del testardo poliziotto potrebbe voler dire rivelare ogni cosa, rischiando di mettere di nuovo tutto a rischio.

Leo Byrne ist Polizist, Jason Banks ist ein Ex-Sträfling. Sogar nach einem gestohlenen Kuss muss erst etwas passieren, bevor Leo Jason überzeugen kann, dass sich zu verlieben überhaupt eine Option ist.

In jungen Jahren adoptiert, ist Leo Byrnes Teil der riesigen Byrnes Familie. Mit seinem Hund Cap, fünf Geschwistern und einer ganzen Horde von Nichten und Neffen ist er nie einsam und sein Leben ist erfüllt. Liebe ist eigentlich der allerletzte Punkt auf seiner To-do-Liste, aber zu sehen, wie Sean und Eric, seine beiden besten Freunde, glücklich sind und neue Familien gründen, weckt in ihm den Wunsch nach Dingen, von denen er bisher nicht dachte, dass sie möglich sind. Jason bei einer Veranstaltung zu Ehren seiner Tapferkeit zu küssen ist eine Sache, aber alles, was darüber hinausgeht, ist verboten. Bis Jason niemanden mehr hat, an den er sich wenden kann und Leo es ist, der ihm an seinem absoluten Tiefpunkt hilft. Jason und seine Tochter in seinem Haus aufzunehmen ist eine Sache, sich in den Ex-Sträfling zu verlieben eine ganz andere.

Jason hat einen Deal gemacht, um seine Tochter zu beschützen und darum Jahre im Gefängnis verbracht. Sich für das Feuerwehrprogramm für Sträflinge freiwillig zu melden geschah nicht nur, um der Gemeinschaft zu dienen, sondern auch, um sich seinen klaren Verstand zu bewahren, aber jetzt wo er draußen ist, hat er nicht einmal mehr das. Er hat seine Zukunft verloren, seinen Respekt vor sich selbst und hat keine Freunde oder einen Ort, den er Zuhause nennen kann. Das Schlimmste ist, dass er, sogar nachdem er seine Tochter gerettet hat, sie nicht vor dem Mann schützen kann, der sie als Tauschpfand für Geld benutzen möchte. Leo kennenzulernen ermöglicht es Jason vielleicht, Daisy zu beschützen, aber sich in den sturen Polizisten zu verlieben, bedeutet, dass die Wahrheit enthüllt werden muss und er erneut alles verlieren könnte.

Ci sono situazioni in cui spetta a Riley e Jack combattere le battaglie degli altri e pretendere ciò che è giusto.

Davanti alla prospettiva rivoluzionaria di una sentenza positiva della Corte Suprema sul matrimonio egualitario, Riley e Jack capiscono di dover prendere delle decisioni. Aggiungiamo qualche novità familiare preoccupante e la possibilità concreta che alcuni vecchi segreti tornino a galla, e questo libro della serie del Texas intreccia tutti i fili che i ragazzi possono riuscire a gestire.

Ma tra alti e bassi, bambini, feste in famiglia, risate e lacrime, non c’è nulla di più speciale dell’amore eterno che unisce questi due uomini.

Lorsque le monde met une étiquette sur le dos d’un homme et le juge aveuglément, est-il possible pour lui de trouver l’amour ?

Eric, pompier, est en première ligne pour combattre la menace de destruction de la nature dans les forêts californiennes, avec son équipe CalFire. Concentré et calme, même dans les situations les plus désespérées, Il affectionne particulièrement son camion, aime sa carrière et peut s’appuyer sur ses meilleurs amis. Tout ce dont il a besoin, maintenant, c’est d’amour, mais impossible le trouver, apparemment. Au mariage de son ami, Eric tombe immédiatement sous le charme de Brady, un homme à la fois timide, mince et sexy, même si Brady n’est pas le genre d’homme qui l’attire habituellement. Eric aimerait être à égalité avec son partenaire, au lit. Il en a assez des mecs plus petits qui veulent qu’il joue le rôle de bon vieux pompier costaud à chaque fois qu’ils s’envoient en l’air. Il veut trouver quelqu’un avec qui il peut être vulnérable, quelqu’un qui tombera amoureux de lui pour son cœur fragile et discret.

Les plans d’avenir de Brady tombent à l’eau lorsque sa nièce et son neveu perdent leurs parents lors d’un tragique accident, et qu’il devient père du jour au lendemain. Son trouble développemental de la coordination gouverne sa vie, mais il combat à la fois le TDC et la peur qui le pourchasse tous les jours : celle de pouvoir offrir un vrai foyer à Maddie et Lucas. Venir au mariage d’un ami est une décision qu’il regrette bien avant d’arriver sur place. Néanmoins, il refuse de céder à sa peur, même s’il est susceptible de faire quelque chose qui ferait de lui une cible pour les commentaires et les rires des invités. C’est alors qu’il rencontre Eric, un homme immense avec une voix douce et un don pour la galanterie, et il tombe brusquement sous son charme. Si seulement il pouvait passer outre sa panique pour qu’Eric puisse vouloir quelqu’un comme lui, alors peut-être qu’il pourrait tomber véritablement amoureux.

Marc sera-t-il celui qui prouvera à Raphaël qu’il n’a pas à rester le prince solitaire toute sa vie et que l’amour est toujours une option ?

Sa rencontre avec le conservateur du musée va bouleverser son monde, et quand le désir se transforme en amour, il sait qu’il va devoir changer.

The story of long nights in a wintry mountain hotel, a baking show with secrets, a snowman called Jeremy, and finding the greatest love of all in this "Bake Off" inspired MM Christmas Romance.

After winning season four of ratings hit the World’s Best Baking Show, Brody Thomas had become a sought-after cake maker to the stars. Happily married, he dreamed of a bright future, but his perfect life imploded when he discovered that his husband had done nothing but lie to him. A year later, Brody is mid-divorce, and his life has been turned upside down, so being part of the WBBS charity event is excellent timing. He’s sure it will give him time away from home and space to get his head straight, only he never expected to meet the man of his dreams in a snowy Alberta.

Winning season one of WBBS gave Justin Mallory a chance to outrun the demons of a childhood lost in the foster system. He’s a social media influencer, with millions of followers, and works every hour to make money that equals security for the rest of his life. His marketing team signs him up for the WBBS Christmas charity show, but he’s convinced he’ll fall at the first hurdle. Only, after a few days in the competition, his worry isn’t that he’ll be the first to leave, it’s that he’ll lose his heart to a rival baker, Brody.

A cop bound by the law. An ex-con shackled by his past. One stolen kiss that changes everything.

Leo Byrne has never questioned his place in the world—adopted into the sprawling Byrnes family, surrounded by love, and dedicated to his job as a cop. Romance has never been on his radar, but watching his best friends build new families sparks a quiet longing for something more. When he shares a kiss with Jason Banks at an event honoring the former convict’s heroism, it should mean nothing. But when Jason and his daughter have nowhere left to turn, Leo steps in to help, knowing full well that taking them into his home is a risk. Falling for the guarded ex-con? That’s a danger Leo never saw coming.

Jason made a deal to protect his daughter and paid for it with years behind bars. Fighting wildfires as a convict volunteer gave him purpose, but now that he’s free, he has nothing—no home, no job, and no way to shield Daisy from the man who still sees her as leverage. The only safe place left is in the arms of the cop, who shouldn’t want anything to do with him. But Jason knows the truth has a way of destroying everything in its path, and if Leo discovers the secrets he’s still keeping, Jason might lose the only chance he has at love—and the only family he’s ever wanted.

Love isn’t about strength or perfection—it’s about finding the one who sees your heart.

Firefighter Eric dedicates his life to protecting California’s grasslands, standing on the front lines with his CalFire team. Steady under pressure, fiercely loyal to his friends, and hopelessly attached to his fire truck, he has everything he needs—except love. When he meets Brady at a friend’s wedding, it’s lust at first sight. Shy, slender, and completely unlike the type Eric usually goes for, Brady intrigues him. But Eric isn’t looking for someone to put him on a pedestal as the big, strong firefighter. He longs for an equal—a partner who sees beyond his strength to the soft heart beneath.

Brady’s carefully constructed life is turned upside down when a tragic accident leaves him as the sole guardian of his niece and nephew. His Developmental Coordination Disorder makes everyday tasks a challenge, but he refuses to let it define him—or stop him from giving Maddie and Lucas the home they deserve. Attending a wedding is already outside his comfort zone, but meeting Eric—a towering man with a gentle voice and an instinct for chivalry—shakes him even more. Falling for Eric is easy; believing a man like him could want someone like Brady is the hard part. But if Brady can silence his fears long enough to take a chance, he just might discover that love doesn’t require perfection—only courage.

Reeling from the painful rejection of a man he thought he loved, Asher is left holding the baby.

Determined to follow through with the surrogacy he started with his ex, Ash brings home baby Mia, vowing to be the best father he can be. His daughter is his whole world, and nothing—not even an unexpected attraction to the doctor next door—can distract him from that. But as his feelings for Sean deepen, and painful family memories resurface, Ash must confront the possibility that love isn’t something to be feared—it’s something to hold onto.

When ER doctor Sean moves in with his friends next door to the undeniably attractive single dad, the connection is instant. The chemistry between them is scorching, but Ash is convinced there’s no room in his heart for anyone but Mia. Yet Sean sees the fear beneath Ash’s resolve, and he’s determined to prove that love doesn’t take space away—it only makes the heart grow. Now, all he has to do is convince Ash that the three of them belong together.

Federal Agent Lucas Beaumont has an agenda—get himself assigned to the case of the apparent serial murders at Lancaster Falls, find out who the murderer is, and then lay the ghosts that haunt his grandfather to rest. In the midst of a horrific murder investigation, the only peace he gets is from simple moments in a warm kitchen, talking to hotel owner, Josh. Attraction to the easygoing man is something he didn’t expect; in doing so, he opens himself to hurt, but at the same time, he begins to fall in love.

Josh is struggling to keep the Falls Hotel, even with every cent he has invested in its upkeep. The one thing keeping him above water is the not entirely legal work he does on the side—a steady income that not even his son knows about. When the FBI takes over his hotel for the duration of the Hell’s Gate serial killer case, Josh is faced with the real possibility that Lucas will not only discover his secret but also steal his heart.

When tragedy hits Josh and his son, and when it seems all hope is lost, can Lucas rescue them both?

Can Connor show River a real Texas family Christmas?

When Connor finds River perched on the roof of the campus admin building, drunk and shouting into a snowstorm with a bottle of vodka in hand, getting him down is the easy part. The real challenge begins when Connor insists that River come home to Texas with him for Christmas.

River has no family or place he truly calls home outside of college. He’s perfectly content spending Christmas alone in his budget motel, watching reruns of Elf. But Connor’s persistent tales of his family’s picture-perfect holiday celebrations on their ranch are starting to chip away at River’s resolve. He never asked to be dragged to Texas. He didn’t want to fall in love with the larger-than-life Campbell-Hayes family. And yet, he does.

From one Christmas to the next, this is Connor’s chance to rescue River—and himself. Along the way, there are mistakes to make, hearts to heal, sparks to ignite, and love to discover. For Connor, showing River what it means to belong to a family isn’t just about Christmas—it’s about forever.
