The Ecstasy Of Faking It

The Ecstasy Of Faking It

by Idah Zangata

Emily’s perfect world shatters when the love of her life, Charles, suddenly breaks up with her. Hurt and furious, she decides to hit back the only way she can—by fake dating the one guy Charles can’t stand: Adrian Mackey. He’s the school’s ultimate troublemaker—skips class, starts fights, and couldn’t care less what anyone thinks. At first, it’s just revenge. For Adrian, it’s a chance to mess with his rival. But the longer their act goes on, the more real it starts to feel. Between rumors, stolen glances, and unexpected sparks, Emily and Adrian might be faking their relationship… but their hearts aren’t playing along.

Feelin The Burn

Feelin The Burn

by E. L. Koslo

"“Relax your legs. Let me in.”

My breath hitches when his hands press between my thighs, pushing my legs apart as he leans in. His thumbs brush just under the hem of my exercise shorts and I swallow a moan, half pain, half pleasure.

He smirks like he knows exactly what he’s doing to me. “I’ll have you feeling the burn…”

Hannah is the big girl no guy ever looks twice at. Except for Jordan, her physical trainer, who never seems to take his eyes off her. Does he simply see her as a challenge, or something more?"

Four Lovers

Four Lovers

by Jen Cooper

Four friends head into summer break thinking they’ve signed up for sunshine, freedom, and carefree fun. But one cabin, one bed, and three weeks together spark something none of them planned. What begins as laughter, late nights, and heat quickly stirs into something deeper—an intoxicating bond that feels both thrilling and terrifying. Once the summer ends, reality looms, but their hearts and bodies can’t seem to let go of what they discovered. Friendship blurs into passion, and passion dares to feel like something more. Is this just a fleeting summer escape, or are they building something that could outlast the season?

Seren

Seren

by J. Nathan

Seren Grayson is a tempest. Heartless and destructive to anyone who crosses his path. But because of his good looks and talent on the football field, the students at Windham Prep adore him. They respect his boldness. They fear his wrath. And, they believe they know the real Seren.

But they don’t.

When I’m forced to move into Seren’s home, I unexpectedly unleash his wrath and become his latest target. He may think I'm easy prey because I’m the housekeeper’s daughter, but he’s wrong. I’m not someone who will cower or back down when I'm pushed.

I’ll push back. Harder.

The longer I spend in Windham, the more I unravel the mysteries of Seren and Grayson Manor. Who knew it would take an outsider to soften his tough exterior and discover the truth behind the lies.
