Men of Bone by David Penny

1501: London, England

Can a man turn his back on all hope to protect those he loves?

Returning to an England now alien to him Thomas Berrington falls foul of a thieves' guild. In his efforts to protect a stranger he becomes their target. When the bonemen come to inflict punishment he has no choice but to kill one of their order. Fleeing London in the company of Arthur, Prince of Wales, heir to the English throne, Thomas believes he has escaped retribution for his actions. But it is a mistake that may get him and his companions killed.

Sent to England by the Spanish Queen to watch over Catherine of Aragon on her marriage to Arthur, Thomas intends the duty to be short-lived. But he hasn't reckoned on the bonemen, who are spreading their influence ever wider. As danger mounts, Thomas is no longer sure he is the man for the task but has no option but to fight, as he always has. For the innocent, for justice, and for his life.

Politics and crime collide in Tudor England in a new series of adventures for Thomas Berrington. Join him on his latest journey in Men of Bone now.

Blurb:

Hopeless for You by Raquel Riley

Cyan was hired to tutor Griffin in the ways of love. He never expected to become the student. Will their lessons in love lead to the real thing?

Griffin Clark

A twenty-one year old virgin college freshman? Yep, that's me. But I didn't wait this long to just throw it away. I dream of the perfect romantic night, straight out of one of my favorite novels. So, I hired a professional to get the job done right. Cyan isn't the playboy I expected, he's—unexpected.

Cyan Morrison

I've been described as easygoing, charming, and a natural born flirt. It's for those reasons I'm one of Lucky Match's most sought-after escorts. It's also why Griffin Clark wants to gift wrap his V-card and present it to me on a silver platter. Everything about him throws me off-balance and inspires me to be a more authentic version of myself; a version I'm coming to love more than the playboy facade most people see. The trick is to make him want to stick around, but he seems to only want one thing from me; love lessons.

Good Vibrations By Patrick J. O'Connor

A human. An alien. A one-afternoon stand and a fertilized egg. What could possibly go right?

Greg and NaDii are going to find out. They're about to become a hybrid family, it turns out.

In book one of this series, during the life of their first child, Robby (or Bobby) Firestone, the two parents discover their children have a hybrid vigor that makes them far more than the sum of their parts. When his unexpected, half-human genius is revealed, Bobby galvanizes the Terran and HaChii races both ways. The admirers, and the ones who want him dead.

Can salvation from the future save Bobby in the present? Can Bobby's sister keep a low enough profile to avoid the people—dangerous ones—who stalk her brother? Why bother? She's way more dangerous than they are!
