Devil in the Details - The Devil and the Sea 2 by Chani Lynn Feener (2024)

What happens when you don't recognize the monsters in your bed? **Gael Thiago hates his job.** More than that, he hates how confused he's gotten. The past year has been one of the most complicated of his life, and he's been left feeling adrift in more ways than one. He decides to try and fix this by signing up for some deviant play at the exclusive Moonward Manor, a club that caters to the dark and twisted. After, he thinks maybe he's finally found a reprieve from the loneliness in Kai, the man assigned to be his bedpartner, but when there's a contract involved and the relationship is based strictly on sex, is it all right to get attached? When Gael gets invited to a murder mystery event and goes, hoping to run into Kai, what he ends up stepping into is the playground of a very real killer. One who's secretly set their sights on him. **Kai Laurier isn't what he seems.** But then, no one ever is. He's lived and worked at Moonward Manor since its opening, but he's never been drawn to anyone the way he is to Detective Gael Thiago. If only Gael wasn't so sad all the time, if he opened up and trusted his instincts, the two of them could live in eternal bliss. The detective has never said he wanted anything more than the contract between them, but Kai is certain he can convince the other man if given the chance. That chance comes when the two meet again at the murder mystery event. Now, he's got Gael right where he needs him, he just needs to find the best way to help the detective unravel the mystery and see what Kai has always known. **Devils come in many forms.** And they do things for many different reasons. The Devil of Moonward has a plan. He's set the board and invited all of the important players, with Gael and Kai at the heart of it all. He'll have them dancing to his tune in no time, confident he can show them his way of thinking is the right one. The game has begun. The prize has been decided. And he has no intention of losing. *Trigger Warnings: This is a Dark MM Why Choose Romance, and as such, there will be themes and situations not suitable for all readers.

Descent by Marko Kloos (2024)

He’s to return to Gretia as an undercover Blackguard operative and destroy Odin’s Wolves―an insurgency that’s setting his home world afire. The mission comes with a full pardon and a chance to reclaim his identity. It also means rejoining his friends and family in space. That’s motive enough. If he can succeed―and survive. Dunstan Park is on piracy patrol to track down the spaceborne arm of the uprising. Meanwhile, the rebels’ insidious terrorist cells are targets for battle-hardened insurgent hunter Idina Chaudhary and her Palladian commandos. As for Aden’s sister, Solveig, she’s put herself in the line of fire before, but discovering who’s bankrolling Odin’s Wolves is as dangerous as it is personal. As Aden works his way back into the confidence of his comrades, the stealth campaign to sow discontent descends into chaos.

Universal Hanbook of Near ELE - The Day the Tar Gave Away by Steve G. Romaniuk (2024)

"The Universal Handbook of Near ELE" marks the launch of a thrilling new series that intertwines science fiction with real-world facts, exclusively from Romaniuk Publishing. This collection examines how everyday natural and anthropogenic extreme events can rapidly escalate into near Extinction Level Events (ELEs), propelled by the butterfly effect inherent in chaos theory. The series kicks off with the volume titled "The Day the Tar Gave Away." Extinction-level events (ELEs) are monumental disasters that can cause a significant decline or even the complete extinction of species on Earth, often impacting a large segment of the planet's biodiversity. These events can be triggered by various natural occurrences, including volcanic eruptions, asteroid impacts, climate change, or shifts in sea levels. A well-known example is the Cretaceous-Paleogene extinction event, which happened roughly 66 million years ago, believed to have been caused by a gigantic asteroid impact that led to the extinction of the dinosaurs and numerous other species. Such catastrophic events can drastically reshape ecosystems, disrupt food chains, and set the stage for profound evolutionary shifts.
