Summary:

Why can’t life give him a break?

Five years ago, Jerry Wilkerson was running with a biker gang, making mistake after mistake, till he ended up in the hospital with a gunshot wound, facing criminal charges for drug distribution. On top of everything, he’d fallen in love with the narcotics agent who took them all down. Or rather, with Cyrus Cooper, the man that agent pretended to be.

Making a deal with the Southeastern Narcotics Bureau kept Jerry out of jail, sending him undercover as Brody Jenson, a petty criminal able to get into places other agents can’t. He’s satisfied with his life—or would be if he wasn’t still longing for someone who never existed.

Then a man steps out of his dreams and into his life, who’s everything Jerry ever wanted.

Except for the part where Jerry might have to arrest him.

While this book features characters from the Diversion series, it is a standalone.

Title: Bent Oak Saga by Ari McKay
Publisher: Ari McKay
Genre: Historical, Gay, Romance
Length: 402 pages

Summary:

Two historical romances about love and acceptance on the sweeping plains of Texas!

Finding Forgiveness

Boston in 1888 is quite urbane, but unfortunately for Gil Porter, that isn’t the same thing as being understanding. When his sexuality is exposed by the scandalous suicide of his lover, Gil is exiled to the small town of Mercy, Texas, by his domineering father. To his surprise, he finds acceptance at Bent Oak Ranch, especially from Matt Grayson, the handsome son of the ranch foreman.

Torn between Matt and his desire to be “normal,” between returning to his old life and building a new one in Texas. Gil is faced with a choice—appeasing his father or becoming the man Matt knows he can be.

The Quality of Mercy

Jules Wingate hopes to start over in Mercy as the schoolmaster after a scandal sent him and his son fleeing their former home. But he discovers he’s left one bad situation for another when he encounters his former student and lover, Carlos Hernandez. No matter how Jules tries to resist, he yearns for the passionate connection they once shared… before Carlos broke his heart.

Carlos knows his foolish, immature actions hurt Jules, but he desperately wants a second chance and to show Jules he’s changed. But trust so badly broken is hard to repair. While he works to earn Jules’s forgiveness, someone else at Bent Oak Ranch has his sights set on Carlos—and he doesn’t care how many lives he has to ruin to make Carlos his and his alone.

Title: The Boyfriend Comeback by Lauren Blakely
The Boyfriend Zone Book One
Publisher: Top Notch Boyfriend Books
Genre: Contemporary, Gay, Romance
Length: 466 pages

Summary:

A standalone, rivals-to-lovers, second chance MM sports romance full of secrets, first times and forbidden love…

Some men are just off-limits. Like, say, all the other football players in the league….

I have to stop replaying the one night I spent with my rival. Trouble is, that white-hot encounter with the other quarterback answered a lot of questions I’ve had about myself, but it also led me into this mess where he hates me.

I never showed up for our second date. Since, well, life happened, and the worst part is he’ll never know how much that night meant to me.

But when I’m traded to his cross-town rivals, that’s not the time to serve up my secrets to him either. My team’s PR department wants to double down on our rivalry. I need to focus on football, not on my interest in men. Except, the more time I spend doing media appearances and charity events with the sexy, generous, popular guy, the hungrier I am to finish what we started.

It’s a bad idea to knock on his door late one night. I could lose everything. He’s probably not even home.

But when the door swings open and I’m face to face with the man I want desperately, I have a choice to make.

At Pascal’s funeral, Jeff meets his lover’s parents, who explain that the man Jeff knew was a completely invented identity. As a journalist, Pascal played with facts, and he did the same in his life, where he was the consummate fabulist, fooling everyone a little, and Jeff most of all.

Title: Eden by Avon Gale & Emily Rossman
Publisher: Avon Gale & Emily Rossman
Genre: Contemporary, Gay, Romance
Length: 227 pages

Summary:

Search and rescue pilot Rayne Lee is leaving the Coast Guard and heading to Eden, Alaska, to reconnect with the foster sister he hasn’t seen since childhood. In addition to piloting the helicopter that brings travelers and supplies to and from the town, Rayne takes a second job leading eco-friendly tours of the breathtaking Alaska scenery. However, his plan for a peaceful, new life is thrown into chaos when he discovers one of his fellow tour guides is Brandon Weaver – an infuriatingly gorgeous former rescue swimmer who was kicked out of the Coast Guard after a mission Rayne led turned into a disaster.

Brandon Weaver thought Eden, Alaska, was the one place he could go to escape the memories of his failed military career – and the disappointment of his father, a well-respected admiral, who always wanted Brandon to follow in his footsteps. But leaving the Coast Guard behind isn’t as easy as he hoped. His parents are planning their first visit in years, and his new coworker is his former commander Rayne Lee, who didn’t lift a finger to help Brandon in the hearing that cost him his career. And worse, Rayne is just as handsome as he was years ago.

Rayne’s guilt over the incident and Brandon’s anger at his dismissal make their reunion a tense one…until their old attraction becomes too difficult to ignore.

Eden is a m/m, second-chance romance featuring an emotionally stunted helicopter pilot, a cocky rescue swimmer turned tour guide, found family, an adorable giant dog, and learning that sometimes confronting the past is the only way to find the perfect future.
