Book One: The Things We Find: https://mybook.to/TheThingsWeFIND
Dane Jones has been touched by the spirit world. Once his powers were awakened by a cursed object, he tried to find peace with them. But the forces from beyond don’t play by the rules, and soon he’s wondering why he thought he had any hope of control over them.
Griff Warren loves Dane, and no matter how weird things may seem, he’ll always be there for him. But strange occurrences make him question if Dane’s keeping a secret, or if there’s more to the strange marks Dane bears.
Dane and Griff are thrown into more supernatural trouble than they can handle, and Janis, their psychic guide, knows it. She arranges for help from The Running Scared Paranormal guys and two strangers from the morgue, Bran and Jordan. First, they’ll lose their abilities, next they’ll have their powers challenged, and if they can’t stop what has been put into motion, no one will survive. #mmparanormalromance #supernatural #ghosthorror #urbanfantasy #gayromance

Faded Dreams
Blinding Light Book Two
BL Maxwell
https://mybook.to/FadedDreamsRTR2
Blinding Light: https://mybook.to/BlindingLight
Rory Smith has been playing bass for Blinding Light since the beginning. Sure, he left a few times temporarily, but he’s always gone back to the only life he’s really known. It was all fun and games in his twenties, but lately he wonders if there’s something more out there besides traveling show to show.
Kai Vance has always been a huge fan of Blinding Light, but the real reason he goes to every show he can sneak into is to get a glimpse of their hot bass player. Everyone else worshiped the lead singer Easy Rian. When they found out, he was out and proud, and in a relationship with the new guitar player, many hearts were broken. But not his. His heart only beats for Rory, the white-blonde haired rock god that he can’t get out of his head.
Rory’s played the rockstar game for many years. Not one time in all those years has he met anyone who made him feel the way the cute guy off to the side with the haunting blue eyes does. He’s always kept his heart of lockdown, but maybe it’s time for a jailbreak. His dreams have faded, but they’re not completely gone. #agegap #oppositesattract #friendstolovers #rockstarromance

Daniel is in a tight spot. He needs a job as soon as possible to pay for his rent and his motorcycle loan. He loves dancing, but he has a bad habit of flirting with everyone he meets. He lost his last gig at a nightclub because he couldn’t stop flirting and dating his co-workers and customers. He wants a daddy boyfriend more than anything, but he knows he must focus on his career first. He swears to himself that he will stop dating and just dance at his new job at the Glitter Box Club, a notorious gay hotspot for the rich and powerful.
Mr. Baranov is a cold and ruthless man. He runs the Glitter Box Club with an iron fist, and he doesn’t tolerate any mistakes from his employees. He is also a member of a notorious Russian mob family, and everyone in the city knows better than to cross him. He has no interest in romance or commitment. He only dates the dancers at his club for fun, and he makes sure they know it’s nothing serious. He never expects to feel anything for anyone until he saw Daniel Sparks dancing on the bar top.
Daniel is part of A Daddy for Christmas, a multi-author series. All the books are standalones, but each Daddy has a unique gift for his wonderful boy (or boys). Except all boys know that sometimes Santa gets it wrong, and it's going to take a very special Daddy to make it right. So why not stay and read them all?

In the shadows of a ruthless world, a tale of searing vengeance and burning desire unfolds, entwining the fates of three formidable characters—Kuba, Pavel, and Izan. Each possesses the heart of a predator, their wills locked in a deadly dance of fate.
GENRE: MM/Contemporary/ Mafia
Kuba, a Russian mob boss, seethes with an unquenchable thirst for revenge against Izan, a figure who has incurred his wrath. Death’s icy grip holds no sway over Kuba, as his singular purpose lies in settling the score, no matter the cost. Beside him stands Pavel, his unwavering right-hand man, fueled by his own thirst for vengeance. But Izan’s actions have stirred emotions within Pavel that should have remained dormant, and the near-death of Kuba intensifies his burning desire for retribution. With a name whispered like a venomous incantation, Pavel willingly gambles everything for vengeance, directing his unwavering gaze upon Izan Morales.

Protecting His Past
Elouise East
https://books2read.com/protectinghispast
His secrets catch up with him, but luckily, protection is in his blood.
Dominic has big shoes to fill. His promotion to the Lead Protection Officer for the king came at a price no one wants to think about. However, it’s something he is very aware of. When his past comes calling, he has to make even more split-second decisions, and he's terrified of the potential consequences. Not for himself, but for those he cares about and protects. Including a certain PA who's never too far from his thoughts.
Randall has been the King's personal assistant for many years. It's long hours and extremely busy, but he loves it. Even after being held prisoner by a twisted man hell bent on revenge, it didn't diminish his love for the job or the people he works for. But he never imagined falling in love. Especially with someone ten years younger than him. But love is love, right?
When Dominic's secret comes to light, he has to shore his defences against those people who would use it against him. And the harder he falls for Randall, the more chinks in his armour appear.
How can he keep everyone safe when the clock is ticking?
Protecting his Past is a kinky, age gap romance with a handsome, secretive bodyguard and a personal assistant, who thinks he’s too old for love.
Falling For My Tutor
Van Cole
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CJZ5FKZW
blurb
When I agreed to start tutoring this jock, the last thing I expected was to fall for him, get rejected by him, and then have him show up on my doorstep.
Robbie
Maybe I was prejudiced but I preferred to keep my distance from all jocks. High school had taught me they were all trouble and college was no different. The only reason I even agreed to tutor him in the first place is because my favorite teacher asked. What I didn’t expect was to fall for him.
James
I needed a certain GPA to keep my football scholarship, so I needed a tutor. He was hostile at first but despite our differences, we became friends. Then he kissed me. I rejected him because I’m not gay. Yet, for some reason, I can’t stop thinking of him and after a few days, I end up at his doorstep.

Lantern
Charlie Godwyne
https://www.amazon.com/Lantern-Danubian-Book-Charlie-Godwyne-ebook/dp/B0BRHW6DHW/
In the black night, I alone uphold the shrine of the seven lantern gods.
In the year 2448, Central Europe, after centuries of decline, has bottomed out into a brutal Dark Age. Warlords now rule the lands, fighting and dying to shelter their regions from near-constant invasions.
Hidden through secrecy, camouflage, and a touch of magic lies a monastery deep in the Alps where Wren of Helvetica has been training as an initiate mage for more than half his life. His quiet routine is overthrown when he receives a message from the woman who rescued him from being sold into slavery as a child. Ingeborg herself is a wandering mage but has found a warlord sponsor and is now his court magician.
In the mountains dividing this warrior king's land in half lies a solitary shrine where seven lanterns burn to the gods of an older world. The elderly mystic who manned the shrine has died; whether by murder or natural causes, no one knows. For the sake of appeasing these gods and protecting the peace of the region, Wren has been summoned to take this man's place.
Settling into a new life that is much more dangerous and lonely than he's used to, Wren takes up protection of the lanterns and tries to reestablish contact with the supernatural forces therein. One day he comes back from foraging to find a large man—Uli—filling the shrine, a man with humor in his eyes when Wren admits to not knowing who he is.
The two fall together and become not only fast friends but lovers. Within the power magnified by their love, seven lanterns tell Wren about Uli’s secret. As Wren begins to connect to the deep roots of the mountain shrine and the gods of earth and sky that watch over this gentle, sacred place, he finds himself taking his heart in hand and giving it to a brutal warrior. Though society dictates they cannot belong to each other, Uli is determined that Wren be his.
By the light of the seven lanterns in a dark night whirling with stars, they hide away in each other and create a precious love that lights the world and gives them strength.
Lantern is a 56,000-word MM standalone romance containing magical realism, mystic mages, and dark age warriors. It contains no cheating and a guaranteed happily-ever-after.
The Danubian Series contains MM love stories of the Danube River region, past and future, featuring the magic of this world and deeply spiritual men who find homes in each other.
