RegularMisanthrope

Achilles is used to a life with rules and structure. Being attracted to men doesn't fit into what he considers structured. But he's used to burying things deep down, and this is just another item on the list. 

Xander crosses into his life, and he's completely outside the rules and the opposite of structure. Something about Xander makes Achilles' wolf sing, his blood jump and his heart soar, even if Xander is a man, even if he is a vampire. 

Innocuous meetings turn into a building attraction and Achilles wants to take the leap to be with Xander. Can he do it?

This is an entry for the open novella contest.

True Mates: The Beginning (mxm) by ViviAnneHunt

Connor has always known that he has a true mate out there and that he is male. Even when nobody believed him, he defended his mate. Even when his father wanted him to mate a good female breeder, Connor said no, staying true to his mate. The more years passed, the harder it was for Connor, who just wanted to find his true mate, once and for all. And when he finally turned up, it was a surprise for Connor to discover that his mate was not as excited about the bond as Connor himself. What will Connor do? No trigger warnings. Rated mature for minimal sexual content and language. Tropes: gay romance, fated/true mates, shifters, werewolves, opposites, age gap, slow burn. This story is completed, however, not finished entirely. This is just the beginning of Connor and Jamie's adventure, and if you want me to continue it, let me know. If not, the story can stand on its own as it is, without anything further. It's up to you. :)

AN OFFER SHE CAN'T REFUSE by JDRAVENX80

🐺🐺🐺🐺 **Shifter werewolf RH fantasy romance** BOOK 2 IN THE SHADOW REALM SERIES. Can be read as a standalone The Quads. They were four of the hottest, most cutthroat, ruthless, dangerously mysterious and brooding, hot as fire seductive fraternal quadruplets anyone had ever laid eyes on-especially at Malsum High. Sebastian, Quinn, Xander and Hudson Calhoun... Their money, good looks, and high society privileges gained them notoriety and the finest things in life-and they relished in it. Fast cars, fast money, and fast women were all they could think about until she came along. For a long time, they didn't even think she truly existed. The little lady who had no home-no life, one best friend, forced to work for her aunt and uncle as a servant just to make ends meet--couldn't be the one? Could she? When Sabrina Brewster is kicked out of her family's house right after graduation, the boys are all too eager to take advantage of this little lady-the one they bullied-the one they wanted to ruin--until they discovered her truth. They find her wandering the streets, luggage in hand-her cap and gown still clinging to her soaked body as the rain rushed over her. Getting her in the car and back to their home for a shower and a warm meal was the easy part... Making her theirs even after she discovers all of the secrets the Quads have been keeping? Well, they'd have to make Sabrina an offer she couldn't refuse. 🐺🐺🐺🐺 cover pic by Gayle Berry
