Forever to Ruin (Roommate for Roommate Book 2) by Maia Aaron (11 Reviews)    Price verified 16 hours ago

Elle Hart had three rules: 1. You only get one night, 2. No sleepovers, and 3. No staying in touch afterwards. She had followed those rules diligently -- so diligently, in fact, that she had managed to keep away from anything remotely resembling a relationship. And she planned to keep it that way. James Dolan had decided to put love and relationships on the back burner during his college years, and that meant avoiding any possibility of a 'What are we?' conversation. In order to do that, he made himself unavailable for anything more than a late night roll in the hay, and he was more than content with that arrangement. Sort of. But after a fiery night together, friendship started to bloom, and the lines gradually began to blur, until Elle ended up doing the one thing she promised herself she would never do: she fell in love. Scratch that -- the two things she promised she would never do. She fell in love, and she broke James's heart. Now, eight years later, she's back in town, her best friend is happily married to his best friend, and there's nothing they can do to keep their lives from intertwining again. So, James proposes a deal: friends. And Elle, wanting nothing more than for them to put the past behind them, happily agrees. Because surely, after a messy breakup and eight years of barely any contact, there's no way that spark -- that wild, electric, beautiful spark that blew up their lives once upon a time -- could still exist between them. Right? (This book contains scenes and material that is unsuitable for people under the age of 18.)

One Life Well and Truly Promised by Richard D. Parker Price verified 8 hours ago

It began six thousand years ago, before the birth of the Akkadian Empire, with a pair of young lovers. Destinies entwined around a first, pure love, a tragic ending, and a promise. "I want you to promise me a life," she whispered so softly he barely heard her. She slowly sat up and searched the gloom of the hut warily. "Akhila!" Akintunde hissed quietly, glancing about fearfully. It was strictly taboo to speak of future lives and a well-known harbinger of ill luck. If an attentive god should hear, whether good or evil, they might strike you dead so that you could quickly begin the new life you so coveted. Akhila flinched but quickly regained her resolve. "I'm afraid Tunde," she admitted and then leaned closer and lowered her voice. "The gods could all be gone... or dead. One life... just one full life... promise." Akintunde paused, straining his senses, wildly searching for the presence of a god. Of course, he failed in the endeavor, but his eyes fearfully scanned the interior of the hut nevertheless. "I promise," he mouthed, just above a whisper and a wave of dread swept through him. Though there was no outward sign of change, he knew his words were the beginning. He could feel it. The destiny of his soul had been forever changed. Spanning the breadth of recorded history, this timeless historical saga follows two unfortunate lovers across the globe in their never-ending quest to fulfill a promise of love and life. Through the Polynesian South Pacific, to the tribal lands of the Iceni in early Britain, fortune contrives again and again to keep the entangled souls apart.

Does Anthony's lonely past doom him to a lonely future? He's never breathed a word of who he was before he ran away from home. Now someone knows who he is. Worse, brazen David Castle knows what he likes. Anthony's survived by being what others want him to be. He's given up on finding the grand passion of his dreams. The little girl he took under his wing so long ago has asked for just one more thing: to know the fate of her mother. David Castle is a terrible rake behind that English rose complexion. He thinks taking his lumps is a fair exchange for having every indulgence Anthony doesn't: family, neighbors, and pleasure wherever he can. He's never left London before, but he's always game for anything; how hard could it be? When circumstances force Anthony to take David along, they'll both have to decide what would be worse: if they killed each other along the way, or if they fell in love. Crown of Hearts is a sensual romance between two very different men in 1813 Britain. It can be read as a standalone book, while containing references to events that happened in the previous three books. If you're ready for a rollercoaster ride with these two fellows, take the plunge!

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.
