Rollo Duchamps-Avery, the high-spirited second son of the eleventh Earl of
Rossingley, is not in his father’s best books. After one misdemeanour too many, the earl ruins Rollo’s idyllic
summer by packing him off to the wilds of rural Norfolk, arranging for him to stay with the Duke of Ashington’s
loathsome brother.
Lord Lyndon Fitzsimmons has an aversion to houseguests. Shunned by polite society for crimes far
wickeder than anything Rollo could dream up, all Fitzsimmons wants is to drink himself into a stupor, tend his
beloved hydrangeas, and take potshots at tin soldiers.
If only his inquisitive young visitor, with his pretty little head of wispy blond hair, his stupidly coltish legs,
and his knack of always being where Fitzsimmons would rather him not, would leave him in peace.
This third book in the Rossingley
Regency romance series features the fourteenth Earl of Rossingley’s lively second son, Rollo, and
the Duke of Ashington’s disgraced brother, Lord Lyndon Fitzsimmons. This book can be read as a
standalone.
Fearne Hill resides far from the madding crowds in the county of Dorset, deep
in the British countryside. She likes it that way. Her queer romance, Two Tribes, was a finalist in the 2023
Lambda Literary Awards. Her popular Rossingley series was nominated in nine separate categories of the
2021 Goodreads M/M Romance awards and received an Honourable Mention in the 2021 Rainbow
Awards.

Keston: I’m never lucky As a foster kid I bounced from home to home. My tattoo parlor is my
only safe space. My days are spent making art and my nights are lonely, even when I’m not
alone. Then I meet him. Bailey Marks. The man who won’t stop talking and making me laugh.
Making me want to see him again and again. But I don’t belong in his suit-and-tie world.
Bailey: I’m never lucky. I lost my father, and my so-called mother sees me as a bank account. I
spend my time bailing my sister out of trouble, but she’s all I’ve got. Except my law practice, which is the
only thing that’s totally mine. I tell too many jokes to hide how lonely I am, and I have way too many
one-night stands. I just want someone to love. Then I meet him. Keston Harris. The gorgeous
loner who’s closed off his emotions, with walls higher than the Empire State building. One kiss from him, and
I’m a goner.
We’re two lonely hearts, unlucky in life and love, failed by people who should’ve been there for
us. What we do know is, the world feels better when we’re together, and life seems easier now that we
have each other.
Trust issues? We’ve got a million of them. Yet we keep turning to each other when life gets
tough. But it’s nothing serious. Maybe if we say it often enough, we’ll believe it.
And maybe…just maybe, we’ll finally be one of the lucky ones.

Ryland Zervudachi lives for the game of hockey—and
for the chance to build the kind of team unity that will carry the Columbus
Pilots all the way back to the playoffs after last season’s crushing defeat.
Off the ice, though, there’s one goal he hasn’t managed to score—the heart of
Kyle Dabbs, the Vermont Trailblazers’ team captain and his long-time
crush.
Kyle Dabbs has built a life centered on quiet
strength. After a childhood scarred by his father’s verbal abuse, Dabbs pours
his energy into his career on the ice and the book series he’s written to help
kids like the boy he once was. He doesn’t need someone flashy, loud, and
spotlight-loving like Ryland turning his world upside down.
But when an untimely appendectomy leaves Dabbs
stuck at home, Ryland—recovering from an injury—shows up to help. Between
late-night Scrabble competitions, pumpkin-carving mishaps, and long talks that
peel back layers they’ve both kept hidden, Dabbs begins to see past Ryland’s
bold exterior.
With chemistry sparking and walls crumbling, both
men must decide if they’re ready to risk their hearts for something even better
than a championship: love.
Excerpt
“Hey,” Ryland said, his mouth going dry when Dabbs’
gaze met his. “How’s your summer been so far?”
Dabbs leaned his forearms on the top of the
high-backed kitchen chair on his left. It sent his biceps straining against his
blue T-shirt. Ryland forced his gaze off them.
“Well, let’s see,” Dabbs said, his voice a deep
timber that stroked along Ryland’s skin. “Bellamy and I just moved into a new
place, so there are still boxes of crap taking up floor space in the kitchen.
One of the kids at hockey camp this week decided the ice was too slippery, so
he sat out almost every activity. And one of my dogs swallowed a
bee.”
Ryland gasped. “Oh my god. Is he okay?”
“He’s fine.” Dabbs regarded him for a long moment,
his expression softening. “Nice of you to be concerned though. How has your
summer been?”
“Oh, its . . . ” Ryland stumbled over his words for
a moment, still stuck on Nice of you to be
concerned. “Fine. Good. I can’t top any of that, but my niece did
puke candy all over my feet when I picked her up from daycare last
week.”
Dabbs made a face. “Gross.”
“I was wearing flip-flops.”
Dabbs made gagging sounds.
“Imagine trying to get vomit out from under your
toenails.”
“Oh god, stop talking.” Dabbs straightened and
covered his mouth with the back of his hand, as though his gag reflex had
engaged.
“On a lighter note, I built a canoe.”
“You . . . what?”
“Built a canoe. Well, me and six other people. We
took part in a canoe-building workshop in Glen Hill over the past two months,
and we built a communal wood strip canoe. We even took it out onto the water
last week.”
“Did it float?”
Putting on his most scandalized Southern belle
impression, Ryland brought his hand up to his chest. “Excuse
you. Yes, it floated. Rude.”
Dabbs chuckled. “Sorry. You just don’t seem like
the woodworking type.”
“Oh, I know how to work wood.” Ryland gave Dabbs an
up and down glance.
“Very, very well.”
He wasn’t sure what to expect from Dabbs. For him
to be so turned on that his cheeks pinked and he stuttered over his
words?
Dabbs, coolly confident in a way Ryland had never
managed, did neither of those things. Instead, he drawled a lazy, “Me too,” and
added three tiles to the Scrabble board,
adding w, o, and d to
an existing o.
Wood.
Ryland had to laugh, surprised by this aspect of
Dabbs’ sense of humor. “Not exactly what I meant.”
Dabbs grinned. “Wood for eight points, plus a
double letter score on the w for a total
of twelve points. Your turn.”
Swearing under his breath—word games weren’t
Ryland’s strong suit—he added a g and
a t to an
existing e, netting himself four points for get.
“It’s okay,” Dabbs said. “We can’t all be good at
everything.”
Ryland laughed. “Oh, you
did not just go there.”
“Hey, are we heading out to dinner, or what?” Jason
called from the front door. “I’ll drive.”
“Do you play darts, Dabbs?” Ryland asked, grabbing
his wallet from the table in the foyer.
“I’ve played a game or two,” Dabbs said
hesitatingly. “Why do I get the feeling I’m going to regret admitting
that?”
Ryland grinned. “You’ll see.” And followed the
group out the door.

When Danny’s mother is
diagnosed with a life-threatening illness, he finds himself in a race against
time to fulfil her wish for him… to find a soul mate.
Danny’s quest for love soon steers
him into unfamiliar territory, and before long he’s introduced to a powerful
new addiction:
Online dating.
But has he taken a wrong turn?
Because neither serial dater Harry, nor fetish scene enthusiast Ben, seem like
the type one brings home to mother, and time is quickly running out.
Will Danny find the love of his life,
or is his chance of meeting the perfect man slipping away one date at a
time?
The App Trap
is a bittersweet journey into the world of modern dating. You will laugh, you
will cry, and you may never swipe again.
Author's
note: This is not your typical one-couple,
one-love romance. Our main character takes a few scenic detours on the road to
happily ever after, exploring multiple relationships (and plenty of comic
mishaps) before finding “the one.” If you’re expecting instant soulmates or a
straight shot to coupledom, buckle up—this ride is messier, funnier, and a
little more adventurous than that. But rest assured, there is a final love
story waiting for you at the end.Contains some uniquely British
humour!
I thought it was about time I spruced
up the old profile, since I hadn’t updated it since my punctuation
faux-pas.
Hmm. What about:
‘Click here for a 3-Day
trial!’
Oh. Minimum 300 letters, you say?
That’s insane. Who has the time to read that much in this day and
age?
Okay. Concentrate, Danny, here
goes:
I’m here looking for a
partner in crime because I’m looking to rob a selection of petrol stations in
the South London area. I’m a glass-half-full kind of guy, mainly because I
never think to ask for a tray when ordering a large round of
drinks.
My weaknesses
are:
I can be intimidating as
I’m quite high up in MENSA (I work on the top floor doing admin stuff).
Moneymanagement, because my on-going charity work and generosity always
leaves me out of pocket. But I don’t like to talk about what a great person I
am, so I’ll shut up about that.
Humility.

that.
