Snow. Santa. And one not-so-silent night.

Welcome to the most chaotic Mulvaney Christmas yet. The roads are iced over, the mansion is packed with littles, and one very overdue baby has decided that now is their time to shine.

When Cricket’s water breaks in the middle of a snowstorm, she skips the ambulance and drives herself straight to the Mulvaney Mansion where her midwife is supposed to meet her. The problem? The storm has other ideas.

As family members fight the weather to make it home, everything spirals beautifully out of control. Mac and Archer are trapped in a Christmas village nightmare. Adam and Noah are up to their usual questionable-but-consensual shenanigans. Arlo and Dimitri are stranded roadside. Atticus and Jericho are stuck in a car. The core four are enjoying some rare alone time. And the littles are warm, fed, and absolutely thriving under Thomas and Aiden’s supervision.

Then the midwife doesn’t show.

What follows is a full-blown holiday free-for-all: Atticus steps in to deliver the baby, the feelings faction dances Cricket through labor, Archer teaches the kids how to gamble using cookies, and the Mulvaney household does what it does best: closes ranks and handles the chaos together.

Murder & Mistletoe delivers snowbound mayhem, feral found family, soft moments, filthy humor, and love in all its unhinged forms. Cameos abound, couples steal moments wherever they can, and the next generation proves they were absolutely raised in this madness on purpose.

Perfect for readers who like their holiday stories loud, loving, and a little unhinged, Murder & Mistletoe is a reminder that when the Mulvaneys say family comes first, they mean it—especially when there’s a baby on the way and a storm at the door.

Review by: Roxanna M.

The family is at it again. I am an absolute sucker for everything to do with this series and this family and their extended family. Onley delivers mayhem and malarkey with the best of them, and we are here for it every time with the twist of Christmas and a chapter 4 every group, including our little favorites of the core four signed me up for every single one

Wingman 101: Make him fall head over heels in love.

Brad
What’s a straight guy to do when he accidentally goes on a date with his brand new gym-bro? Offer to be the best wingman ever, of course! It’s foolproof.

Joey needs a man? I’ll find him one.

He wants someone who looks, well, kind of like me? No problem!

Not into watersports? I’ve got him covered.

The issue is, going on all these dates with Joey makes me realize I want more of his time to be spent with me. I like the guy. And his smile. And the way he makes me feel like anything is possible.

Except… I can’t possibly be who Joey needs. He wants his forever person. His great big love.

And no matter how perfect the dude’s abs are or how skilled he is as a cuddle-bro, the two of us will never be more than friends. Because I’m straight.

Right?

10 Ways to Accidentally Fall in Love is a lighthearted romantic comedy with disastrous dates, more innuendo than is probably healthy, an oblivious sweetheart, the gym-dude who falls for him swiftly, and a HEA loaded with firsts. It has characters who originally appeared in Himbo (Elite 8 Studios Book 4) but is set as a standalone.

Brad is so blissfully unaware of his adorableness. Hes straight. Or so he thinks. But hes just so friendly that he may have inadvertently led his bro Joey on and he really didn’t mean to. Like seriously. This man just goes with the flow. He definitely lights up every room. He wouldn’t hurt a fly, let alone his new best friend.

Joey has been friend zoned! He knows he shouldn’t do this to himself but he agrees to stay friends. The more he gets to know Brad the more he wants him. But Brad is straight, right? Right! Moving on. How does he move on when the more he gets to know Brad, the more he wants to be more than just Brad’s gym bro.
Talk about a predicament.

I cannot recall ever laughing so much while reading or listening to a book. Nick did a terrific job. All the sound effects and stuff. He really brought the story to life and played the 2 men well.

Emmy Sanders, author of sweet, steamy, swoony MM romance, would describe herself as a lover of love. She’s obsessed with both reading and writing romance and believes everyone deserves their happy ending. Queer herself, Emmy has a soft spot for LGBTQ+ fiction, but MM is where her heart lies. Her debut novel, Fool Hearts, released in 2022.

You’re the only one who can get under my skin.

Levi

Trapped in nightmares from my past, the only comfort I find is in gifts from the man who killed my mother’s killer—presents wrapped in a body bag and delivered to the morgue for me to examine.

From the first time I saw his mark, I knew I had to keep my Killer safe, had to keep his work a secret for me and me alone. Every body is a love letter, and I’m the only one who can read them.

Jonah

When I accidentally leave evidence behind during a kill, I have to go to the morgue to rectify my mistake. I didn’t expect to find a young mortician admiring my work.

Relishing in it. Studying it.

Covering it up.

I have no idea why someone would want to hide my crimes, but I’m determined to find out. What I discover is a man named Levi—a man obsessed with the idea of who he thinks I am.

A man who threatens to change my entire world.

~~~

Under Your Skin is a dual POV dark romance set in a world where a corrupt town lets a serial killer walk free, and a young mortician is determined to make sure it stays that way. Expect high heat, intense emotions, and two men who find their own way to define what love really means.

Goodreads

Amazon

Levi believes theres a killer in town leaving him little “gifts” and Levi is collecting all of them. Jonah learns about this when he goes in search of something he seems to have lost during his last kill. He finds a whole lot more than his lost thing that day. Life as Jonah knows it will never be the same.

Oh. My. Word! Jonah is kinda absolutely perfect. I know, I know hes a serial killer but that is just one part of who he is and shouldn’t cancel out all the things that make him perfect. His attentiveness and obvious instant, more than just attraction, to Levi were one of his many perfections. Jonah would question himself in his head about the things he was feeling towards Levi and it cracked me up. I would imagine it would freak out a psychopath if they started having feelings of happiness and dare I say love.

Lee McCormick has been writing since they were very young, and they’ve finally found the courage to offer up some of their favorite ideas to the world. Parent to two amazing kids and three pretty fantastic dogs, they have always been fascinated with dark romance and love that transcends time and reason.

When they aren’t busy working on their novels, you can usually find them browsing queer romance recommendations or playing a video game.

She played a part for the mission. Falling for him wasn’t in the plan.

Gabriella Flores goes undercover at Devil’s Pointe to find the monsters who stole her sister. She plans deception and prepares for danger. What she finds is entirely unexpected: the one man who awakens something fierce and undeniable inside her. Her pretense is necessary. The fallout is devastating.

Rhys Langston built his life on control and precision, trusting nothing he can’t contain. When Gaby’s cover is blown and her past as a detective comes to light, he’s tempted to walk away—to protect himself. Instead, he steps in. As her partner. Her protector. And, for the sake of the mission, the man she must pretend to belong to.

Forced to work side by side, they follow the last fragile trail that may lead to Gaby’s sister—posing as something far more intimate than either anticipated. Every shared risk, every calculated touch draws them closer, blurring the line between cover and truth.

As the hunt closes in on a powerful enemy who plays for keeps, Gaby and Rhys must rely on the very bond that shouldn’t exist. Because when everything is on the line, it isn’t the truth that threatens to break them—it’s what lies between them.

Callum Hale doesn’t do second chances. A former Army Ranger cast out for breaking orders, he’s built his new life protecting clients who can’t protect themselves. But when he’s assigned to Grace Willoughby—a quiet illustrator hiding from the abusive ex-husband who refuses to let her go—Callum’s ironclad control fractures. Protecting her isn’t just a mission. It’s personal.

Grace has rebuilt her life from the ashes, but safety has always been an illusion. The closer she gets to Callum, her older brother’s best friend, the more she realizes he’s not just a shield against her past—he’s the first man she dares to trust. And the one man she can’t afford to lose.

When a brutal abduction shatters their fragile peace, Callum races against the clock to track Grace’s captors. Enemies circle closer, secrets inside Titan threaten to explode, and Callum must decide how much of his heart he’s willing to risk. Because falling for Grace may be the one line of duty that costs them both everything.

Bess Choi is proud of what she’s accomplished. Owner of Strange Brew, a popular coffee shop in Silence, she’s worked hard and has overcome many obstacles to build the life she has. It’s a good life, one that includes work she loves, an apartment to call her own, and plenty of good friends.

But an unexpected phone call comes as a brutal reminder of a time she thought she’d left far behind. Suddenly, she’s faced with the choice to turn her back on the beautiful life she created, or break her guilty silence.

Chief Deputy Hugo Alexander isn’t sure when exactly he started seeing the quiet coffee shop owner as more than simply a good friend. It’s hard to pinpoint the moment when she went from a supportive friend to him and his teenage son, to the woman who features in his dreams and fantasies.

Unfortunately, Bess Choi seems to have him firmly locked in the friend zone, and it’s not until worrisome things start happening around her, she cautiously starts lowering the barriers.

But when he discovers she might be in far more danger than she’s been willing to let on, he’s done tiptoeing around.
