Until His Beginning Ends by Kiki Clark 

Until His Beginning Ends by Kiki Clark

When Death is your soulmate, finding love has never been so heart-stopping. Enzo has only had time to focus on one thing for the last few years–his thesis. He’s less than six months away from finally finishing when his whole world gets flipped upside down. By a guy dressed like a fifties greaser. Learning truths about himself and his family leaves Enzo feeling shaken, but there is just something about Theo that keeps drawing him back in. A connection between them that feels vast and infinite. Destined.

Yearning by Kiki Clark 

Yearning by Kiki Clark

Houston has a secret. One he hasn’t even shared with his motorcycle club. One that involves rope and dominance and pretty little subs kneeling at his feet. And he’s fine with that. Prefers it, really. It keeps his life nice and orderly.

But the night Kenneth dropped into his life changed everything. Entranced, he watched the sweet nurse stitch up one of his brothers—and then slip away. Even after he’s gone, his shy eyes full of desperate yearning continue to haunt him… Read more.

Fresh Catch by Kate Canterbary  

Fresh Catch by Kate Canterbary

Take a vacation, they said. Get away from Silicon Valley’s back-stabbing and power-grabbing. Recharge the innovative batteries. Unwind, then come back stronger than ever. Instead, I got lost at sea and fell in love with an anti-social lobsterman. There’s one small issue: Owen Bartlett doesn’t know who I am. Who I really am.

I don’t like people. I avoid small talk and socializing, and I kick my companions out of bed before the sun rises. No strings, no promises, no problems… Read more.
