Game Misconduct (Penalty Box, #1)
Ari Baran
Two bitter rivals go head-to-head in this age-gap, enemies-to-lovers hockey romance. Michael Sato is used to fighting. An undersized defenseman, Mike had to be tough, clawing his way up from the minors by taking down one ferocious player at a time. No way is he going to lose his spot on the league roster, especially not by giving in to his attraction to a hot, infuriating rival. Daniel Garcia is used to fighting, too. Enforcer Danny is the biggest, meanest player on the ice. A target for anyone trying to make a name for themselves, he doesn’t show weakness, nor is he going to risk his last seasons for a sexy rookie who nearly knocked him on his ass. When their intense physical connection explodes outside of the rink, Mike and Danny learn they just might be able to build something real, but only if they can let down their guard—and their fists—long enough.CONTENT WARNING: Game Misconduct contains descriptions of alcohol and drug use disorders, alcohol and drug usage, depression, under-negotiated kink, and discussion of a past sexual assault.

Now, Knox finds himself answering to the city’s most ruthless man. What starts as control twists into something darker—hungrier. Dominic doesn’t just crave Knox’s compliance; he wants complete surrender. Knox tells himself it’s still about survival, but every glance and dangerous touch says otherwise. He’s not gay. Neither is Dominic. But obsession doesn’t play by the rules, and what began as a bargain turns into something neither of them saw coming.

Brim Over Boot
Emmy Sanders
He may be a King, but I’ll never kneel. Colton If asked to list all the folks in Darling, Montana I can’t stand, I’d have a single name. Noah King. He’s the second-best farrier in town (me being the first). A royal pain in my behind. And an all-around smug pest I wouldn’t mind knocking down a peg or two. It’s no surprise after so many years, our animosity has come to a head. I just never in my wildest, hate-fueled fantasies expected Noah’s attack to involve his lips on mine. It was a mistake, no question. But apparently I still have some things to figure out about myself. One thing I do know? Noah King and I have been bitter rivals from the start. And nothing, not even the fire he lights under my skin, makes a lick of difference in the end. Surrendering to my enemy isn’t an option. Brim Over Boot is a small town, enemies-to-lovers romance between rival farriers, with a double bi-awakening, tension and banter galore, scorching encounters, a slow fall from hate to love, and one very HEA. It’s book 2 in The Darling Brothers series but can be read as a standalone.
