Unwanted by Marley Valentine is now live! Two halves of a whole, Arlo Bishop and I were both unwanted kids brought together by the foster system. Dealing with the aftermath of neglect and abandonment, we grew up side by side and found solace in one another. We wanted. We needed. We loved. Desperately.

Now, four years later, I’m back in L.A. and face-to-face with my past. Not only does the pain and hurt of our mistakes linger between us but so do our feelings.

From USA Today bestselling author Marley Valentine comes an all new emotional, friends-to lovers gay romance standalone. I couldn't tell you when I fell in love with Gael Herrera, but I wish I knew how to make it stop. Falling in love with a straight man is a rookie mistake. But falling in love with my soon-to-be-married-to-a-woman best friend is nothing but heartache. Through all the years, and all the men I've fooled around with, he's always been at the back of my mind. An unrequited crush I wish I could shake. A dream that was never going to come true. When I whisk him off to a surprise bachelor party weekend in Vegas, I surrender to the idea that this is an opportunity for me to finally let go of my feelings for him and say goodbye. But after a heated exchange and an even hotter kiss, everything I thought I knew about our friendship changed. Maybe I had it wrong. Maybe, after all this time, we were more than best friends. Maybe, just maybe, he felt it to...

Review of Devilry (King University Book 2) by Marley Valentine DEVILRY I FREAKIN LOVE Cole & Eli! Together and separately. Whew, these two are amazing. And hot, did I forget to mention H O T?!?! I always love professor/student romances, but sometimes they're cheesy and/or only focused on the forbidden naughtiness of it all. Devilry is much more well-rounded. Both Cole and Eli are naturally and organically real, individually and together. And both sweethearts with their own backstories that are detailed well, especially Eli. God, I could go on all day about Devilry and Eli and Cole, but I don't have all day so I'll just say this. READ THIS STORY. It's amazing. It's superbly well-rounded. It's sweet. It's sexy. And it's real. It doesn't get a whole hell of a lot better than Devilry .

Title: Devilry Series: King's University Series Author: Marley Valentine Genre: MM Romance Release Date:  June 21, 2019 Earning a full scholarship to King University was my hard earned ticket out of hell. I'm happy to be away from the small town I grew up in and all the equally small minded people who live there. King was going to be my safe haven. A place where I could leave the old me behind and finally grow into the young man my family had desperately tried to hide away.  Diving head first into new experiences, new friends, and parties, I didn’t expect to run straight into the one thing I wasn’t ready for.  His arms are welcoming, his body is addictive and his lips are heaven. Cole Huxley is everything I could fall in love with, except for one problem... I never wanted to fall for my professor. Marley Valentine comes from the future. Living in Sydney, Australia with her family. When she's not busy writing her own stories, she spends most of her time immersed in ...
