Ophelia Bell

Kris has never been touched. He’s about to make up for lost time.

Born to a race of creatures who strictly police their presence among humans, Kris possesses a gift only one dragon in each generation may possess—a human form which requires no magic to maintain. But he has paid dearly for this gift, as it has relegated him to a life of monastic solitude, exhaustive training, and an existence devoid of even a casual touch.

His destiny has always come first, and now that he’s led a group of explorers to the dragon temple as promised, his purpose is almost fulfilled. All that remains is to ensure each one of them couples with the dragons they were meant to—and then surrender his celibacy and shed his affliction.

He has long prepared for the onslaught of rapture required to awaken the dragons’ Queen. What Kris hadn’t prepared for was falling in love, yet the moment he sets eyes on the gorgeous purple dragon awakened by the others’ trespass into the temple, that’s exactly what happens. Can she help guide Kris in the final steps of his journey, or will his desire for her and her alone serve as the distraction that brings them all to ruin?

Crossing Lines

Crossing Lines

Esiito

The scar on Harper Reid’s left knee tingled as she walked into Briar University’s hockey arena, a phantom reminder of the last time she’d stepped onto this ice. Three years, two surgeries, and one shattered dream ago. The early-morning light filtered through the high windows, casting long shadows across the empty stands.

The Emperor's Wildflower

The Emperor's Wildflower

M. Wolf

“Curtsy again and I’ll make you dance with me.” Emperor Bastian is supposed to pick a bride like he’s choosing dessert. Instead, he slips into the garden and catches a woman in emerald silk trying to disappear. Before the romance meddles, Julia Weismar is doing her best to be invisible at a royal ball while her perfect sister gets paraded as The Obvious Choice. Then the emperor shows up in the roses, takes Julia’s hand like he owns it, and looks offended that she’s breathing without his permission (rude… and annoyingly hot). He calls her “interesting” like it’s a threat, asks for a dance like it’s a command, and you’ll be sitting there thinking, girl, run… while also begging her not to. A footman clears his throat. “His Imperial Majesty requests Lady Julia Weismar for the next waltz.”

Discovering Us Spin-off: Deliberation

Discovering Us Spin-off: Deliberation

K. L. Jenkins

A rebellious teen, Tilly, struggles to find her place in a large, unloving family. Feeling like the black sheep, she's overwhelmed when she unexpectedly becomes pregnant, despite taking precautions. As her life spirals, she faces intense inner turmoil, questioning her self-worth and grappling with the fear of being abandoned by those she loves. Desperate to reclaim control, she considers terminating the pregnancy, but finds herself growing attached to the life inside her. At the same time, she stumbles into an unexpected relationship that offers her a glimmer of hope. Can this fragile connection withstand the dark secrets she's hiding?

Once Upon a Christmas Eve

Once Upon a Christmas Eve

Jezza Deep

Tina’s Christmas spirit disappears the moment she catches her boyfriend cheating—two weeks before the holiday. She’s set on working through the season, dodging mistletoe and cheer, until a handsome, desperate shopper appears at her store after closing on Christmas Eve. Her sarcasm is sharp, but she lets him in… and finds herself sharing more than just retail space. Thomas has his own reasons to hate the holidays, but one night of banter, warmth, and undeniable heat melts the frost between them. What starts as a fling begins to feel like more, and as feelings deepen, so does the risk. Because sometimes the best gifts aren’t wrapped—they’re found.

Stranded Together

Stranded Together

S. Glasssvial

Cassie slips. The ground vanishes.

She falls—then a hand.

Max. His grip is iron, his eyes wild. “I’ve got you.”

If he lets go, she’s dead.

But the way he’s holding her? That’s even more dangerous.

A storm. A shipwreck. A deserted island. Cassie never expected to be stranded with Max. He’s younger, protective, and far too tempting. As he fights to keep them alive, the days test their survival. The nights test their restraint. One question remains—do they even want to be rescued?

Teachin the Burn

Teachin the Burn

E. L. Koslo

From the "Feelin' the Burn"-Universe:

It would be a lie to say that Professor Tatum Phillips hasn’t noticed her sexy undergrad student at the university, and an even bigger lie to say she hasn’t also fantasized about said student. So it comes as a delicious shock when her boyfriend, Javi, has a surprise for her in her office at the end of the day. Professor Tate has always enjoyed the company of both women and men and today promises to live up to her long-anticipated desires.

Two Hearts, One Soul

Two Hearts, One Soul

Teresa Knapp

Samantha had barely escaped the Red Moon Pack and her abusive Uncle Lou. Trying to stay hidden, she ran for weeks, until one afternoon, starving and dehydrated, she found a small stream where she stopped for a drink. Suddenly she heard a twig snap. Her head snapped in the direction of the sound, and she saw two red eyes watching her. Rogue! Suddenly a large black wolf jumped over her head and killed the rogue. Then the most magnificent man she had ever seen stepped out from behind a tree, and the scent that filled her nose left her lightheaded. Mine!

Ascend

Ascend

Ophelia Bell

At last, the Queen awakens. Can the affections of a human male awaken the rest of the species, as well?

Corey isn’t like the other explorers who have entered the long-lost dragon temple deep in the Sumatran jungle. Whereas to his eyes, their predilections are hardly discriminate, he longs for a partner—a woman who will be his equal, who might love him as much as she challenges him.

What he’s presented with, however, is a woman who just might be his better. Racha, the Queen of Dragons, has awakened after five centuries of slumber, and she only has eyes for Corey, despite them hardly knowing one another. His reluctance to bed her delays the last and most crucial step in the ritual which will awaken the brood of dragons she rules, and though her beautiful, perfect form serves as temptation, Corey can’t bring himself to give up his preconceived notions of what love is.

The clock is ticking, and so is the time-bomb of power inside Rasha. Can she convince him to listen to his heart, or will the energy granted to her by the other couples’ unions consume them both?

C. Swallow

Ellie never thought her escape would begin with being hunted. But when Snowred—the infamous, heartless werewolf warrior—snatches her from the only life she’s known, she’s thrown into a twisted fairytale of danger, desire, and dark magic. With an Evil Queen pulling strings from the shadows, Ellie becomes more than prey—she’s the spark that just might shatter Snowred’s curse… or break them both in the process. Sweet meets savage, and fire meets frost, as their love burns and bruises in equal measure. One wants freedom. One wants peace. The Queen wants them broken. But fate may have other ideas. Welcome to the forest. Nothing here is safe—not even love.
