	Foreshock Kari Gregg Sometimes the earth really does move. Kyle Armentrout is every gay man’s fantasy in a tool belt, but he can’t even change a light bulb without injuring himself. Twice divorced and not long from the closet, he’s found his way into a fulfilling relationship at last, but he can’t quite escape the sense that he’s left his manhood behind in the process.

But hey, at least it seems harmless . . . if perhaps a little slow on the draw. More »
	Pretty Monsters (Josh of the Damned, #1) Andrea Speed Josh knew the night shift at the Quik-Mart would be full of freaks and geeks—and that was before the hell portal opened in the parking lot.

Besides, it’s not all lizard-monsters and the walking dead. There’s also the mysterious hottie with the sly red lips and a taste for sweets. More »
