Cutie the Cop has a problem... and it's not just the nickname his famous and slightly offbeat new friend Austin has given him. Gideon, aka Cutie the Cop, knows there's more to life than just going from work to home, but he can't get past the fears that are holding him back. As a cop with secrets, he knows he can't share who he is or what he wants with just anyone. But when Austin drags him to a private BDSM club for the first time, he finally has a decision to make... continue to hide or take a chance on falling in love. Knowing his fated mate is out there somewhere isn't much consolation for an alpha Daddy who's never been what most omegas are looking for. However, when a shy submissive is thrust into Jarrett's arms during an altercation at the club, he knows things have finally turned around... but only if he can convince the small, bashful alpha that he's worthy of his trust. Sometimes secrets can drive people apart, but sometimes sharing those secrets is what can bring them together. Story Contains: M/m romantic content, BDSM elements, age play with ABDL, and non-shifter alpha/alpha dynamics in an alpha/omega world. Love & Secrets is a spin-off series from my Romance & Revolutions (alphas and omegas) series under the Shaw Montgomery side of my writing. The best way to enjoy the new series is to read them after reading the Romance & Revolutions books. My omegas are feisty and funny, and if you haven't read about those guys, you're missing out.

Owen (Special Forces: Operation Alpha) (Blue Team Book 1) by Riley Edwards 4.6 Stars (4,157 Reviews)    Price verified 5 hours ago

Owen Cullen was a dream. Not a dream come true because I'd never dared to dream. He was my wildest fantasy, a hallucination, a delusion. The handsome man who'd saved my life -- twice. He was a real-life hero, and I was... what was I? Filth, that was what I was. The daughter of a gangster, the niece of the reigning king of Chicago's underground. I tried my best not to fall in love with Owen. I tried not to mistake his kindness. I tried to remember the lessons of my youth: Love was a weakness. Sex was a weapon. It didn't work. I fell in love. Then my uncle found me, and I ruined everything. Natasha. It was a fake name. One she'd made up on the fly when my team had rescued her from a life worse than death. She had no place to go, so I took her home. It was supposed to be temporary, just until we learned who she was. But the woman proved to be stubborn and kept her secrets buried deep. She'd lived with me for months, and every day the pull of her called to me. I was living a nightmare of my own making. I didn't trust women, especially the one sleeping in my guest bedroom. I'd fought the good fight. I'd held out for as long as I could. Then all of her secrets came out, but it was too late. I was in too deep. Natasha, the beautiful woman with no last name, was mine. But she had a last name -- Pollaski. Everything came crashing down. I was no stranger to the battlefield. I was used to blood, guts, and no glory. What I wasn't accustomed to was the feeling of my heart being torn from my chest. What I was not acquainted with was desperation. Natasha was gone, and I had less than twenty-four hours to find her, or she'd be gone in a different way. Welcome back to Z Corp and Special Forces -- Operation Alpha. New team, new badass former military heroes. Like the teams that have come before, Owen, Gabe, Myles, Kevin, and Cooper are ready for action. With a little help from Susan Stoker's unparalleled cast of heroes.

Starborn Husbands: Return to the Pleiades by S. Legend 4.4 Stars (82 Reviews)    Price verified 5 minutes ago

When Guardian Treyu Orion is accused of negligence on the job, he's sentenced to death. Totally overboard, right? Yeah, but the Guild is full of stars who hate Orions. Prince Zhang Centaurus comes to the rescue with an arranged marriage. Why would Zhang do this? They've been frenemies since they set eyes on each other. Most likely it's an evil scheme to have Treyu come to heel because once they're married, Pleiadian customs dictate that he obeys his husband. How convenient. Atlanta Orion is in love, but he doesn't know how to say it because he's basically a caveman with feelings. Instead, he gives up his title, family, and home to run away with his beloved, Gemini Centaurus, the crown prince of the Nebula, when the king rejects his impromptu proposal. There. That should do it. No words necessary. Atlanta will make sure to kiss Gemini lots too. They just have to never get caught. If the soap opera-esque life of these four men wasn't enough, someone wants Treyu dead. The Archangel Merrick, Treyu's jealous and possessive ex-situationship, thinks he's the only one who can protect Treyu properly. He swoops in and all chaos breaks loose. Amidst their drama, these men unlock a scheme so sinister it'll require that they put aside their petty feuds and work together to save the universe. Starborn Husbands is a frenemies-to-lovers MM novel, the first in the Return to the Pleiades series. It contains the caretaking dynamic Mock (S. Legend) is known for.

Rome, Dakota, Richie, and Donny are four 14-year-old-boys who have to live in this collapsing hellscape, and they hate it. Everywhere they turn, there's a bum shooting up or taking a dump. Stoned hippies walk down the street with an aura of arrogance and self-satisfaction. At school, their commie teachers no longer bother with teaching actual subjects. Instead, all they do is praise themselves for their activism and force their viewpoints on their students. It seems like the four friends can't even walk home without some random demonstration blocking their way. They devise various plots to act out against the lunacy, setting them at odds with both the cops and the new-age Marxist regime. In a world full of parents, police, protesters, and pedophiles, the four friends are desperately trying to get by. The perils are numerous -- diversity festivals, molestation shacks, stoned elderly drivers listening to NPR, bum fights, shanty towns, and drug-addicted vagrants are all commonplace -- but our valiant heroes will fight to the last man.

Dabbler in Drabbles, Volume Three: 300 short stories by Rhys Hughes (Gibbon Moon Books) Price verified 4 hours ago

A drabble is a flash fiction that is exactly one hundred words long. And here we have a cyclops who is writing them and telling them to his friend, a centaur. Three hundred drabbles. The stories are miniature adventures, comedies and tragedies, tales of space and time, accounts of voyages and discoveries, many of them ironic or paradoxical, some of them featuring robots and monsters and ghosts, but each one compressed into an easily-digested snack for the mind. And this is the third volume of four... "If I said he was a Welsh writer who writes as though he has gone to school with the best writing from all over the world, I wonder if my compliment would just sound provincial. Hughes' style, with all that means, is among the most beautiful I've encountered in several years." -- SAMUEL R. DELANY "Rhys Hughes seems almost the sum of our planet's literature. He toys with convention. He makes the metaphysical political, the personal incredible and the comic hints at subtle pain. Few living fictioneers approach this chef's sardonic confections, certainly not in English." -- MICHAEL MOORCOCK "It's a crime that Rhys Hughes is not as widely known as Italo Calvino and other writers of that stature. Brilliantly written and conceived, Hughes' fiction has few parallels anywhere in the world. In some alternate universe with a better sense of justice, his work triumphantly parades across all bestseller lists." -- JEFF VANDERMEER

Phillip Harker, a man of privilege and means, finds himself propelled into a dangerous game of political brinkmanship to save the nation from the grip of extremism.

In a gripping battle for the soul of America, Red Lemmings delves deep into the moral complexities of power, justice, and the lengths one man will go to protect his country from the forces of tyranny.

Boxes of Time: Stories by Jack Matthews 3.0 Stars (1 Review)    Price verified 7 hours ago

Stories about messy emotions, troubled families and damaged personalities. 11th Story Collection. Over his lifetime Jack Matthews (1925-2013) wrote over 200 stories, many of which were published in literary journals. Although stories varied widely in subject and style, they often could be described as urbane, philosophical, poetic and sardonic. Stories in Boxes of Time were mostly published between 1961 and 1981; they feature characters who are troubled or unsure of themselves trying to deal with life's usual disappointments. Stylistically, these stories are polished and carefully written, but they deal with messy emotions, troubled families and damaged personalities. The characters may not be as educated or self-assured as the people in his other collections, but they still manage to figure out interesting things about themselves and the people around them. Stories from this period focus especially on the emotional stresses that separate parents from their children. This ebook contains 24 stories by Jack Matthews which have never been collected, making it the author's largest story collection. Matthews picked "Boxes of Time" as the title for this collection because each story reveals the drama of worlds long since gone but whose dreams and fears and anxieties still resonate today.

Battling bad press and her business partner's "suggestion" to take a sabbatical, Blakely doesn't think twice when her best friend offers up her mountain retreat in idyllic Greyson Gap, NC. Armed with the task of stepping out of her comfort zone by her therapist, Blakely quickly realizes that fresh mountain air, roommate chore charts, and Tucker Greyson, the annoyingly handsome housemate she didn't bargain for, might not fix her broken ego. Finding herself stuck in between a surreal episode of The Bachelor run by the Greyson Gap Golden Girls brigade, and her hunky housemate wanting to be friends with benefits, Blakely discovers she kind of likes the simpler life -- going camping, catching fish, wearing hiking boots, and, perhaps, falling in love. Ex- baseball star, Tucker Greyson, prefers to be alone in the small mountain town where he grew up. The last thing he needs is a high-strung, clean-obsessed roommate for the summer. He hatches a plan to drive her perfectionist sensibilities into overdrive and out of his house. What he doesn't expect is to fall for her. He tells himself to keep it simple and not let his heart get involved, but when Blakely gets called back to her old life, Tucker realizes he has more to lose than just a summer roommate.
