*** LARGE PRINT EDITION *** Luke Emerson is the last person Sebastian Wakefield expects to see strolling into his tattoo shop. But Luke's not back after four years to take up where they left off. Not even to apologize for the cheating that broke them up. Luke wants a custom tattoo, a memorial for someone known only as "A.J." Much as Seb would love to tell Luke to take this ink and shove it, he's a professional. Plus, he's reluctant to admit, he wouldn't mind getting his hands on Luke again. Even if it's just business. Once Luke's in the tattoo chair, though, Seb finds himself struggling with all the anger and resentment he thought he'd left behind-and those aren't the only feelings reignited. Their relationship may have been turbulent, but it was also passionate. Four years clearly hasn't been long enough for the embers of that fire to go cold. A few subtle hints from Luke is all it takes to make Seb consider indulging in some of that physical passion. It shouldn't be that tough to keep his emotions from getting tangled up in sweaty sheets. After all, it's not like he's in love with Luke anymore. Right?This 35,000 word novella was previously published.

** LARGE PRINT EDITION ** Lila Hamilton is thrilled to be joining the Pittsburgh Bearcats, the League's latest expansion team. She's rehabbed from her knee injury and ready for a fresh start in a new city. But did Pittsburgh have to sign Sabrina McAvoy? Lila's played with and against Sabrina before. She's hot and she's exactly Lila's type, but she's also hockey royalty-her father was a generational talent, and her brother is a star in the men's league. Players, coaches, and sports commentators fawn all over her because of her family name, and Sabrina shamelessly exploits that. Lila doesn't care how attractive she is-no, thanks. But there's more to Sabrina's story than Lila realizes. Sabrina knows what people say. That her journey to professional hockey was an easy one thanks to her dad. That she left her ex-husband and reverted back to her maiden name so she could leverage her family's dynasty to sign with a team. That she's nothing more than a nepo baby on skates. But she knows the truth, and this is her chance to prove she deserves to play at this level on her own merits. Prove it to the haters. Prove it to her father. And absolutely prove it to Lila Hamilton.

** Large Print Edition ** Matt Russo knows better. Everyone does, but no one knows better than an attorney who routinely works with the fae: you watch what you say, or else you find yourself in the crosshairs of trickster magic. Or in this case, with an angel on one shoulder and a demon on the other. And the ridiculous bickering celestial beings aren't going anywhere until they help him change his perpetual single status. Worse, if someone finds out he used magic for any kind of gain, his personal and professional reputations might never recover. Fortunately, his best friend and downstairs neighbor-not to mention the man he's quietly wanted for the past five years-is smart and level-headed. If anyone can help Matt out of this fiasco, it's Cory Miller. Except while Cory's happy to help Matt get rid of the pint-sized magical idiots, the only way they're leaving is if they succeed in finding someone for Matt to love. Cory will do anything for his friend, but he's not so sure he can take part in helping Matt find the man of his dreams. Not when he's wished all this time that he could fill that particular role. But maybe this magical disaster is exactly what Matt and Cory need to realize their secret attraction is mutual. A Single Soul is approximately 40,000 words.

** Large Print Edition ** We've all heard the stories of infertile people who make peace with their circumstances and embrace the childfree life. This is not one of those stories. I Changed My Mind is a memoir by romance author L.A. Witt about her journey through a four-year infertility battle, the steadily growing unease that she was heading in the wrong direction, and the epiphany that she really wanted to be childfree. Over fifteen years on from that decision, she candidly discusses fear, regret, and the reality of life as a childfree woman in her forties. With a decade and a half in the rearview, with menopause on the horizon and no do-overs, was it the right decision after all?

Twelve billionaires. An island in the middle of nowhere. And a deadly game with no escape. The invitation is nothing unusual. A week of being wined and dined at an exclusive Caribbean resort in exchange for attending a few meetings about investing in a promising startup? Why not? From the moment weapons magnate Geri Cole steps off her private jet, though, something isn't right. It's possible she imagined that truck with the gun turret. And maybe those weren't really body bags out on the loading dock. But she's not imagining the complete lack of cell service-not even the powerful signal booster her company created for military use can connect to anything. Billionaire playboy heir Quinn Hayworth has a bad feeling about it, too. The vibe is strange, and no one knows a thing about the company that's supposed to be wooing them. When their "host" finally shows his cards, Quinn and Geri's suspicions are correct-but their situation is much worse than they ever could have imagined. Now they're two of twelve unwitting contestants trapped on a remote island, forced to play by the rules of a sadist. Subjected to cruel "challenges" and barbaric punishments, they're powerless to use their billions or their influence to escape. There's no way out except to win the game. Because on this reality show, no loser goes home alive

Call it a situationship, call it roommates with benefits-whatever it is, Riley Sweet is mostly fine with the arrangement. After all, he's got an awesome off-base apartment on Okinawa, and he's got someone to hook up with on the regular with no pressure and no strings. The problem is that he's starting to catch feelings for the hot, aloof Marine who's apparently interested in very specific types of fun, but nothing else. He won't even sleep in the same bed as Riley. Nolan Tyler is carrying a dark secret that's kept him closed off from everyone for years. Out of shame, fear, and self-preservation, he keeps everyone at arm's length, including Riley. When Nolan is asked to be his brother's best man, there's no bowing out. Not even when going home means facing everything he enlisted to escape. Though Riley doesn't know exactly why Nolan balks at going home, he offers to come with him as backup. In exchange, Nolan will come with him as his "boyfriend" in a last ditch effort to get Riley's parents to accept, once and for all, that their son is gay. Nolan takes him up on it, but he's terrified that the truth about his past will come out... and the man he's falling for will leave. Content Advisory: past sexual assault, on-page harassment and verbal abuse, discussions of self-harm

Sometimes it's over... but it isn't really over. Coworkers Marcus and Reuben broke up six years ago, but their feelings for each other have never faded.

Justin has always been in love with his straight friend, and now he's wondering if he can really handle having the man of his dreams under his roof and out of his reach. Except maybe Tyler isn't as far out of reach as either man thinks. Husbands Rhys and Derek are calling it quits, but they're not ready to tell their daughter until after her wedding. It doesn't matter how much they still love each other-trust is broken and there's no going back. Except could a road trip and a wedding be enough to bring their marriage back to life?
