Baseball

Harrison’s love life is a parade of fun, flirty encounters thanks to every dating app you can imagine, but nothing sticks. Finally, sick of the endless cycle of Friday night hookups, he hits uninstall on the apps and challenges the universe to show him that he deserves someone better.

What he didn’t expect was the universe throwing him a curveball in the form of his best friend’s younger brother. Despite being best friends with Gordon for years, he’s never actually met his siblings and even half-joked they didn’t exist.

But there they are, at a party at Gordon’s place, and one brother, Arlo, is seriously hard to ignore. He’s nothing like Gordon. Quiet, adorable, and totally off-limits… which sucks. But when Harrison spots an opportunity to help him steady his nerves on his children’s book tour, he jumps at the chance to get to know him better, because spending time with him feels like the most right thing he’s done in forever.

The more time they spend together, the less Harrison can imagine being with anyone else. But going after what he wants means betraying his best friend. Can he find the courage to catch life’s most unexpected of pitches?

To teach me a lesson, he’s transferring me from writing about hockey gods to Banana Ball, and not only do I have to pretend to like the not-so-professional sport, I have to go on tour with them. If I can just keep it in my pants and focus on the writing, I’ll earn a return to the sport I love.

Problem is, the gossip writer who got me into this mess is on tour too.

Ian’s determined to prove he’s meant for sports and not gossip columns, so when he suggests we create a public rivalry that’ll boost our reader engagement and get us both what we want, I reluctantly agree.

But the more time I spend with him, the more confusing my feelings for him become, and suddenly I’m looking at labels I never thought would apply to me.

After an explosive kiss it becomes so much harder to focus on the writing and faking our rivalry, but taking a chance on him means risking more than just my game plan to get back to the ice, for the first time in my life, I’ll also be risking my heart.

Colton has always walked the line of golden boy meets bad boy. It helped catapult his popularity as the starting pitcher in his first year of college and during the scandalous exposé when he came out as bi. But Colton struggles with the accolades he receives, balancing who he is versus who he was versus who he’s expected to be. Because before Colton was a queer icon for star athletes, he was a closeted bully who made one guy’s life completely miserable.

Isaac hates Colton. But to be fair, Isaac hates everyone—maintaining an icy distance from even his closest friends. Mostly, Isaac wants to shove Colton off the pedestal he’s been placed upon. Just because he came out publicly doesn’t mean he’s some sort of hero. It doesn’t help that Isaac once fawned over the closeted jock in high school. He cared deeply for Colton and did everything he could to please the star athlete, even keeping their private rendezvous a secret. Which meant Isaac paid the price of utter humiliation, taunting, and bullying as the weirdo loner gay guy with a creepy crush.

When Isaac catches Colton cheating on an exam, he plans to ruin his enemy by destroying his academic standing and costing Colton his baseball scholarship. Isaac wants nothing more than to see Colton kicked out of campus. But when the jock offers to do anything to keep this a secret, Isaac decides to test the lengths Colton is willing to go to make things right between them. Isaac’s over secrets, but this is an opportunity unlike any other. He presents an ultimatum that’ll push Colton to the edge of his limits. In this sordid hate-fueled lust, all Isaac wants is revenge and all Colton wants is redemption.

He's the one I swore I'd never ever fall for.


A teammate’s betrayal. A banishment. A secret revealed.

That’s all it took to unravel my life at the seams.

The punishment for my past mistakes goes further than expulsion,

and penance can only come from the worst hell imaginable:

Summer camp.

Ten weeks spent wrangling a bunch of kids is bad enough,

only to get worse when I meet my new co-counselor.

The back-stabber himself.

Kaleb LaMothe.

Being forced to coexist adds more tension to our already shaky foundation,

but it also pushes us to uncover deeper parts of each other.

Until animosity becomes a feeling far more dangerous.

An attraction so potent, I lose sight of why I’m stuck in the wilderness to begin with.

And if I’m not careful, I might lose something else entirely.

Like my heart.


*Never Will I Ever is a new adult college romance featuring two quarrelling camp counsellors, grudges the size of Mount Hood, secretive outdoor rendezvous, and a group of meddling tweens sure to send you into hysterics. Not suitable for anyone under 18 years of age.*

Snag three amazing titles from MN Bennet with bonus swag and signed bookplates. 

Book 1: Bound By Butchery

Former billionaire playboy-turned-philanthropist, Julian Fowler, is struggling with the upcoming anniversary of his parents’ murder, the most brutal massacre in the city’s history…with Julian as the sole survivor. Three years later, the killings have started up again with a new list of targets.

Mysterious psychopath, John Smith, has admired Julian from afar and offers him an opportunity to unmask the so-called vigilante devouring the rich. But John’s real goal is mayhem. He would gladly burn the city to ashes if it awakens the monster inside Julian.

The pair are drawn into a precarious game of chaos as they unravel each other’s pasts. John leaves a trail of bodies across the city, carving love letters in corpses for Julian to follow. Julian finds himself spiraling down the twisted path John has laid out, unable to decide if he wants to kiss or kill the maniac.

Book 3: Politics and Poly

Rus doesn’t think there’s anything wrong with punching bigots. Some call it anger issues or impulse control; he sees it as clearing away the cesspool of hateful idiots. All the same, he doesn’t want his rage to control him or push away the two people he’s beginning to care deeply for.

Dylan’s façade of joy is so masterful, he even deceives himself most days. Underneath that worn smile, though, is a frightened man who doesn’t trust the world. Now, he has to navigate taking care of the queer youth home that gave him a life worth living while exploring the life he’d like to live if he wants to pursue romance in this new relationship.

Kaiden struggles to accept himself, wayward and insecure most days. So, when two men express how much they see him, he feels like a complete and total imposter. He’s convinced himself this awkward throuple would be a much happier couple if he took a step back. But despite his reservations, he doesn’t want to give up.

These three will have to come together, work through their personal fears, and be real with one another if they hope to explore this romance.
