Try To Forget
BL Maxwell
Book One, Remember When: https://mybook.to/RememberWhenST
After being dumped by his boyfriend, spending the weekend alone wasn’t something Sam Braun was looking forward to. So, when the hairstylist that works next to his bookstore invites him to his hometown for the weekend, Sam jumps at the chance. Visiting the small town of Occident could be just what he needs to forget, at least for a few days.
Erik Thorne has lived his whole life in the same town where nothing new ever happens, and any stranger who comes to town is always a big deal. When his old friend Andy brings a friend home for the weekend, Erik is drawn to the man in a way that confuses him at first. But his curiosity about the gorgeous blond from the city gets the better of him, and he can’t resist spending more time with him.
Sam was hoping to forget his troubles when he meets Erik. While Erik can’t seem to think of anything besides the city boy with the bookstore he can’t wait to visit. Distance might not be the only thing that stands between them, as they find out admitting what you want isn’t always easy. Each book can be read as a standalone. #AgeGap, #MMRomance, #FriendsToLovers #OppositesAttract #SmallTownRomance #City/Country

Better Together
BL Maxwell
Since being thrown out of his home by his parents, Caden has been struggling to survive on the streets.
He lives in constant fear, stresses over his next meal, and dreads trying to find a safe place to sleep at night. He eventually finds an unlocked car and settles in to sleep, but is soon interrupted when someone steals the car. With little choice but to ride along, Caden soon learns that first impressions aren’t always correct.
Seventeen-year-old Damario has been raising his little brother and sister by himself since his parents were deported. He never knew how hard it was going to be paying the bills and making sure there was always food on the table. Or how hard it would be to hold his family together when they all depended on him to do it. He finds himself stealing cars to make ends meet, but he never expected to find someone sleeping in the back of one of them. And he really didn’t expect this stowaway to change his life.
When Damario brings Caden home, it was supposed to be just for a shower and a hot meal, but he can hardly kick him out onto the streets again. There is no way he could have seen that by saving Caden that night, he was also saving himself. When Damario’s world starts to fall apart, they both realize that the answer to all of their problems is helping each other, and although the world tries to drive them apart, they really are better together. #newadult #YA #gayromance #hurtcomfort

Ghost Hunted
Valley Ghosts Book One
Series Link: mybook.to/ValleyGhostsSeries
Jason Thomas had always been obsessed with the ghost stories he'd watched on television from the time he was a kid. He'd always dreamed of visiting those haunted places, and playing amateur ghost hunters with his best friend Wade. As they grew older, Jason's fascination with ghosts grew as well, and he'd drag Wade along to different haunted houses or hotels, always hoping to see an actual ghost.
Wade Rivers loved spending time with Jason, even if it meant he'd have to endure another creepy, supposedly haunted location. Friends since they were kids, and always inseparable, Wade's feelings for Jason deepened from friendship into something more. Unfortunately, so did his fear of the places Jason wanted to explore.
The chance to spend a weekend alone in a famous haunted house was too much for Jason to resist, and almost too much for Wade to endure. He knew going to the deserted house was everything Jason had ever dreamed of, so Wade tried to put his fears aside. But when paranormal things start to happen, admitting to Jason how he feels suddenly isn't the scariest thing Wade will encounter. #paranormalromance #hauntedhouse #friendstolovers

When Kelly shows up at the Victorian with a boulder-sized chip on his shoulder and a list of questions as long as his arm, London is quick to take up the torch to help the man find his answers. Nowhere in their quest for the truth do the two men expect to find an attraction that can’t be denied.

Jessica Cartright is haunted by a faceless man who controls her nightly dreams. Each night, he draws her deeper and deeper into a nightmare she can’t escape. She struggles to break free of his dark power, but in this realm, she is his prisoner.
For David life in the shadows isn’t a choice—it is a necessity, stemming from dark secrets, corruption, and lies. In a moment of abject weakness, he reveals himself to another human, an act strictly forbidden. And one that doesn’t come without consequences.
Jessica’s dream morphs into her waking life. She no longer knows if the horror she’s experiencing is real or if it is the dream. Now she fears for her very life and has no one to turn to and nowhere to run.
The Elders Trilogy books must be read in order.
