Born Regal

Born Regal

by Alex Fox

For Anya Chase, finding out the identities of her real parents has never mattered. Her “real” mom is the woman who found her when she was a baby and loves her as if she were her own. She couldn’t have asked for a better life, so the day she leaves for college is heartbreaking… Until she meets a strange man on a plane who declares her to be a vampire—and a powerful one at that! Now she has to decide whether to lie to her mother or admit she’s a vampire queen!

Between Power and Desire

Between Power and Desire

by B. E. Harmel

Carol lands her dream job at Wright Enterprises—and comes face-to-face with Damon Wright, a powerful CEO she should never want. Cold, brilliant, and off-limits, he’s everything she can’t afford to risk. But as ambition turns into desire, Carol is pulled deeper into his world—where control is everything, and some secrets are far more dangerous than they seem.

Stranded Together

Stranded Together

by 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?

Once Upon a Christmas Eve

Once Upon a Christmas Eve

by 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.

Breath of Night

What she doesn’t know is that this man knows more about her than she knows herself—he knows what she really is. She falls in love with him in the process of opening her eyes to the world she really belongs in. But his love may not be enough to make her stay.

And their alpha is none other than Lincoln, a fellow teacher at her school. Once Lincoln discovers Zoey’s past, he convinces her to join the pack. But as Zoey and Lincoln grow closer, they each begin to envision a life where they aren’t mateless after all. There’s only one problem. The Alpha is not allowed to have a mate.

The Vitale Brothers Book 1: The Enemy

by Shala Mungroo

Diana’s life has never been her own—every step chosen, every promise written in ink she never signed. Now she’s bound by a marriage contract to Domenico, the dangerously charming heir of her father’s closest ally. Beneath his perfect smile and velvet voice, secrets simmer—dark, ancient, and far too close to home. As their wedding looms, the lines between duty and desire blur, and Diana must decide whether to fight the ties that bind her… or surrender to the one man she was never meant to love. In a world where every vow has a cost, breaking free might be the most dangerous choice of all.

The Dragon's Bride

The Dragon's Bride

by P. J. Williams

Catori grows up in a snowbound village where secrets run deeper than the ice. Restless and fierce, she dreams of a life beyond silence and obedience. Then fate cracks her world open—revealing dragons still soar and her bond to them burns brighter than she ever imagined. What begins as defiance becomes a journey tangled in love, loyalty, and power. Battles awaken ancient forces, alliances test her trust, and passion sparks against the shadows. Every heartbeat brings her closer to a throne written in fire and loss, where desire collides with destiny. In a world where love is a weapon and loyalty a shield, Catori must decide if she’s willing to claim the crown waiting in her blood.

Ice beneath the skin

Ice beneath the skin

by Andreea Albu

The smell of baked salmon and disappointment hung in the air. Celine was cutting into dead flesh. Literally. The fish on her plate had been cooked at the precise temperature where hope and flavor evaporated—and in the Ravel household, hope evaporated daily. Serena, her mother, quietly sipped from a glass of white wine, wearing the dull look of a woman who knew no decision was hers anymore. She had once been alive—now she was a fragile presence in beige dresses and measured gestures. Whatever was left of her dreams dissolved night after night into cold Chilean wine and fractured conversation. A

Casey’s Secrets

Casey’s Secrets

by Ophelia Bell

I could taste the sting…

I’ve had a crush on my stepdad for half my life. But he’s always been too old and too intimidatingly good looking. Besides, what would he think if he knew the kinds of dark cravings I have?

The summer after graduation I stay out past curfew one night without realizing it.

My stepdad is a stickler for the rules, so when I go inside he’s sitting on my bed, waiting. He demands I bend over and accept punishment for breaking curfew.

I obey as if I’m under a spell. It doesn’t take long for him to figure out one of my secrets.

When I try to rise after he’s finished, he stops me. "I need you to say it out loud, Case. Did my spanking you turn you on?”

Did having my hero discipline me in the best way possible turn me on? Damn right it did.

As music pulls her into a wider world, a passionate connection begins to grow, filled with intensity, wonder, and unexpected vulnerability.

Miss High Maintenance

Miss High Maintenance

by S. S. Sahoo

Blonde bombshell Amelia Knight looks like just another spoiled socialite on the New York party scene. But underneath the hard-partying, risk-taking veneer, she's unbelievably brilliant and ambitious. Enter Ethan Reid. Academically gifted, with a high-profile career in psychiatry, Ethan sees through Amelia's shell to the wildfire beneath. And something about her adventurous nature draws him to her like a moth to a flame. But will their magnetic attraction draw them together or blow up their lives?

Crossing Lines

Crossing Lines

by 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.

New Love for Christmas

New Love for Christmas

by Brizee Breck

Holly had it all. A great job, a loving husband, and a baby on the way. Then she lost her husband before Christmas in a tragic accident. Devastated, she finds comfort in the arms of her father-in-law and a long-buried mutual attraction begins to stir. Can new love bloom inside this family?

Nexus

Nexus

by 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?
