Fight for love

Fight for love

M.L Dallison

Madison is an 18-year-old with a complicated life. After a nasty car accident she returns home, scarred in more ways than physical.

Grayson is a gorgeous, successful MMA fighter who always gets what he wants. He's set his eyes on forbidden fruit. Madison's the daughter of his coach and mentor, little sister to his best friends.

The sexual chemistry is off the charts, burning down to the bone with every heated gaze. Madison is broken and Grayson doesn't do relationships- that's what they keep telling themselves.

Being together won't be easy, there are monsters lurking in the darkness just waiting to attack. There are obstacles at every turn!

Especially when Hunter decides to throw a huge curveball and turns everything on its head!

Is love worth fighting for, even if it completely destroys you in the process?

Catherine Ramos just got her fresh start at college, and she's not about to let anyone diminish this opportunity. Especially not Jerard "Peter" Léon, the sharp-witted upperclassman that's just as quick to dish the insults as she is to throw them at him. She wages war, but he's still there. Especially when she needs someone the most. Even if neither of them like it.

Then Cat starts trading roasts with a stranger called PumpkinKing on an anonymous local chat app, and the funniest, smartest person she's never met slowly becomes the only one she feels she can actually talk to. He doesn't know her name. She doesn't know his face. Both a stranger and an enemy know her better than her own best friends.

Between a party that leaves a hole in her memory, a family she can't bear to disappoint, and a secret Peter has been carrying since August, Cat is about to find out how many of the same words hate and love share.

Fate throws him back into Fallon’s orbit—now engaged to his teammate—and old sparks ignite with dangerous intensity.

Valentina is a dedicated sports reporter who lives for deadlines, not locker rooms. She can handle any season—except winter, when hockey takes over her schedule and her sanity. This year gets even colder when a newly signed player joins the Hawks and turns her routine upside down. He is talented, confident, and far too good at getting under her skin. Nathaniel is focused on proving himself on the ice, yet the sharp-tongued reporter trailing the team distracts him in ways he never expects. As interviews spark into banter and tension melts into heat, ambition and attraction collide. When a career-defining opportunity calls her away, both must face what winning truly means.

Double Take

Double Take

Taz Zobell

Lucas has carefully built his image as the rebel, the one no one expects much from, and he plans to keep it that way. When his twin brother agrees to tutor Rina, Lucas ends up stepping in, pretending to be someone he is not. It should be simple, just a favor and a secret kept. But Rina is not like anyone he has met before. She sees past the attitude, past the walls, and straight into the parts he keeps hidden. As their connection grows through late nights and quiet moments, Lucas finds himself caught between the truth and the role he is playing. Because the more he pretends, the harder it becomes to ignore what is real—and what could change everything.

The Invisible Girl

Talissa O'Shrigar

Can she really stay invisible when someone sees her so clearly?

What Remains The John Baker Story

What Remains The John Baker Story

Jeannie Sharpe

Savannah Baker has built her life on loyalty, routine, and the quiet belief that love—real love—means staying. In the small town of Camden, where every road carries a memory and every face tells a story, Savannah’s world has always centered around her husband, John Baker, and their two daughters. John is the kind of man people trust without question—a devoted father, a steady presence, a man who has spent years building a life that appears unshakable from the outside. But appearances have a way of hiding what matters most. When John suddenly collapses without warning, the fragile foundation of their life begins to fracture. What starts as a medical emergency quickly becomes something far more complicated, pulling Savannah into a reality she never expected to face. As John fights to recover, the quiet spaces between them begin to fill with questions neither of them are ready to answer. Because long before the collapse… something had already gone wrong. Savannah senses it in the way John avoids her eyes. In the tension that lingers in their home long after the doctors say he’s stable. In the small, almost invisible changes that only a wife would notice. And then there is Claire Whitmore. A name that doesn’t belong in their life—and yet somehow does. Claire exists on the edges of everything, never fully seen, never fully explained, but impossible to ignore. As Savannah begins to piece together the truth, she realizes that the life she has been protecting may not be the life she thought she was living. Still, Savannah does not confront him. Not yet. Instead, she does what she has always done—she stays. For her daughters. For the family she believes is still worth saving. For the version of John she refuses to let go of. But love, she is about to learn, is not the same as trust. As the days pass and John recovers at home, the tension between them grows heavier, tightening like a knot neither of them knows how to untangle. Every conversation feels incomplete. Every silence feels louder. And every glance carries the weight of something unspoken. John is hiding something. And Savannah is running out of time to pretend she doesn’t know it. Around them, life in Camden continues—friends show up with casseroles and quiet concern, their daughters try to make sense of the shift they can feel but cannot name, and the familiar rhythms of small-town life press forward as if nothing has changed. But everything has. Because the truth is not just about betrayal. It’s about what remains after it. When the past refuses to stay buried, Savannah is forced to confront a question she has spent her entire life avoiding: What do you do when the person you love most becomes the person you no longer recognize? And more importantly… Can a marriage survive the weight of what was never meant to be discovered? What Remains: The John Baker Story is an emotionally charged exploration of love, loyalty, and the quiet devastation of secrets. Set against the backdrop of a close-knit coastal town, this story unravels the fragile threads that hold a family together—and asks whether love can endure when trust is broken, or if some truths change everything forever.
