Stray Bullet

Jay Heron

He shot his husband. Now he’s living with a cop.

LAPD Detective Mel Daniels never expected a reckless traffic stop to upend his life—but when a bruised twink named Colt turns himself in for attempted murder, Mel finds himself protecting the star witness in a DEA cartel case. Colt’s husband, a charismatic real estate mogul with cartel ties, survived the shooting. Now he wants his prize back.

To keep Colt safe, Mel takes him into his home. But safety is relative—and desire even more so. As Colt’s trauma unravels, so does Mel’s objectivity. Bound by secrecy, scarred by violence, and drawn to each other in ways neither can control, the two men tumble into a dangerous dance of power, pain, and seduction.

In a city where nothing is what it seems, Stray Bullet is a taut, erotic thriller about love, lies, and what it costs to break free.

Stray Bullet publishes Friday June 20th.

Bryn’s Virtues: Courage

Bryn's Virtues: Courage

TreVaughn Malik Roach-Carter

She wanted a foot in the door. She didn’t expect to break it down.

Bryn Gonzalez-Ortiz has always known she was different—especially with her supernatural strength—just not how different. A trans girl of color with dreams of fashion journalism and a closet full of self-made designs, all she wants is a chance to be seen for who she is.

After landing a dream job at a powerhouse magazine, Bryn discovers a truth more extraordinary than she ever imagined: she’s an Amazon—descended from ancient warriors, destined to lead, and feared by gods.

Bryn is hunted by a vengeful demigod and thrown into a world of myth, monsters, and legacy. As her strength grows, so does the risk—to her dreams, her found family, and maybe the world. She must uncover the full extent of her power before everything she loves is destroyed.

Bryn’s Virtues: Courage is a fierce, emotional journey of self-discovery, identity, and power—a superhero origin story where queerness isn’t a weakness, it’s the source of everything heroic.

Bryn's Virtues: Courage publishes on Friday September 12th.

Disaster Queers

Book One: Night at the Museum

Alison Cybe

A Queer Heist, A Prehistoric Egg, and Absolutely No Plan

The Disaster Queers live up to their name—broke, gay, reckless, and fresh off a tavern brawl that landed them a fifteen-thousand-gold fine. When a frazzled professor offers them a way out—steal a priceless gemstone from a fancy museum gala—it seems like the perfect job.

Except the “gemstone” is actually a long-dormant egg, and if it hatches, an ancient murder beast will rampage through the city. No pressure.

Now, Ran (trans elf sorceress, always hungover), Di (deadpan dwarf strategist with zero patience), Emmlie (tiny chaos gremlin, part-time thief, full-time menace), and Leon (horny satyr bard, would absolutely flirt with a guard mid-heist) have to pull off the biggest job of their messy careers.

Expect:
✨ Queer found-family hijinks
✨ Unhinged heist shenanigans
✨ Bad decisions, worse flirting
✨ Magic, monsters, and museum-related property damage

Disaster Queers—where fantasy meets absurdity, and being a queer disaster is a full-time job.

Maybe I'll Tell

The St. Ursula Tales, Book Two

Jay Heron

Besides its stained glass, cathedral ceilings, and yellow roses, the Saint Ursula Institute is known for its bottomless well of secrets—a business opportunity a certain TikTokker named TellTale McSnitch can't resist. Each video they post hints at someone's salacious secret, and that secret can be bought for public consumption for the mere price of $1,000 in the Secret Lover Auction. Slowly, but surely, secrets get revealed one by one.

Being in the spotlight is Cadey's worst nightmare, and that nightmare comes true when she's the first target of TellTale McSnitch's terror. The only upside, according to her best friend Maisy, is that with new secrets being auctioned off, the school will soon forget hers. But when TellTale targets her crush Peter and his gay best friend Leo, the four students set out to unmask the malicious TikTokker and end Saint Ursula's torment.

The hunt for TellTale McSnitch, however, leads them on a winding path with sharp turns and roadblocks. Meanwhile, fear and violence paint the halls of Saint Ursula as more and more secrets come to light. Can the team of friends put a stop to TellTale's wicked plans? Or will his big TikTok finale explode across the internet first?

Publisher's Note:
Please be advised this novel contains a depiction of a school shooting.

The Construction of Shadows

The Construction of Shadows, Book One

Dakota Jackson

In a world where 74% of the population possesses unique abilities passed down by the 16 Divinities of the Sun and Moon, it takes a miracle to stand out…

Or a disaster.

Meiling Katz is a nobody. With no Divine blood and a mysterious illness that’s plagued her since the Lunar Eclipse Massacre killed her parents thirteen years ago, she’s powerless. Nevertheless, Meiling is determined to attend the prestigious Zialitos Academy for Sun-Gifted Children and rise in the ranks of their country’s lawmakers.

Suraya Zialitos is a living legend. As the heir to the most powerful lineage in the world—those descended from Ataru, Divinity of the Sun—Suraya is destined for greatness. But Suraya does not want greatness, she wants revenge for her family slaughtered by the notorious Miyako family in the Massacre.

When the childhood best friends arrive at the Academy only to find a string of terrorist attacks linked to the Miyakos, their initial plans go up in flames. With their friendship unraveling and the country in terror, they realize there’s only one way to solve this: together.
