Taken By The Tribe

Dzenisa Jas

He placed a finger under her chin and lifted her face so she was gazing up at him.

“Please,” she sobbed. “Let me go.”

A cruel sneer graced his godlike features as he smirked down at his captive.

“Tut tut, my little girl. You’re a part of my Tribe now. You still don’t understand how this works...”

He gripped her chin and leaned down until she could feel his warmth penetrate her.

“You are mine. Forever.”

Alicia’s life is turned upside down when she’s kidnapped by the sadistic leader of a secret order, Jason Storm. At first, she wants nothing more than to escape his clutches. But what happens when she feels the pull of desire for her captor?

This is a re-telling of 'Taken by the Alpha'.

Meeting Him in Between

Meeting Him in Between

Cristina C.

"Your body tells me you want me as much as I want you," he said seductively.

A sigh escaped my lips as Jeremy's hand grazed my cheek. "I want to get to know you, Laurie. You intrigue me. I want to see the woman behind this mask," he said, his voice almost pleading before he quickly regained his composure.

Laurie winds up having a sexy encounter with a man at a party, only to meet him again at a job interview. She’s determined not to work for him, but it looks like she does not have another option. “You will work for me, little kitten.”

Bad Boy Xavier: Part 1

Bad Boy Xavier: Part 1

Jen Cooper

“We’ve all got a vice. Mine’s alcohol and punching things. What’s yours?” She asked, refusing to feel bad for her choice in extracurriculars when he had just shot someone in the head because of his. He chuckled dryly.

“Sex mostly.”

Katelynn grows up in a world of bruises, broken promises, and a father whose debts pull her deeper into danger. When a deal gone wrong hands her over to a powerful family, she braces herself for a life of fear. But Xavier, the heir who rules with fire and steel, doesn’t expect a girl who bites back instead of breaking. He’s been trained to pull the trigger without thinking, to take what he wants without asking—but with her, nothing is simple. The girl he should see as a pawn suddenly feels like a battle he doesn’t want to win. And being his captive? It’s supposed to be her worst nightmare. Yet somehow, against every rule and every scar, it feels like something far more dangerous—something she’s not sure she wants to escape.

Perfect Pieces

Perfect Pieces

Jen Cooper

Taylor is determined to make senior year all about her—faster runs, healed heart, no drama. But life clearly didn’t get the memo. When her brother’s best friend, Pierce, and her ex, Niko, both step back into her orbit, Taylor’s plans start spinning. They’re fire and ice, chaos and comfort, temptation and trouble—everything she swore she’d avoid. Yet when they make an offer that turns all her “no’s” into very complicated “maybes,” she begins to wonder if love isn’t about choosing sides but finding balance in the in-between. In this playful, heated, and heart-tugging romance, healing comes with laughter, longing, and a double dose of temptation.

The Mancini Brothers Book 1: Defending Fabrizio

“We shouldn’t be speaking like this. Not when we need to be speaking about the case.”

“There’s no one here to regulate us. We can speak about whatever we want, and I’m not finished speaking about last night.”

Fabrizio Mancini is on trial for a crime he swears he didn’t commit—but the evidence says otherwise. With no murder weapon and too many unanswered questions, his powerful mafia family hires the best defense lawyer in New York: Benedetta D’Angelo. Winning this case would make her career, but there’s one problem—her dangerously charming client is keeping secrets. As Benedetta fights for the truth, Riz fights a different battle: keeping her out of his world and out of his bed. But some lines are meant to be crossed, and some temptations are impossible to resist.

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.

Every day in their shared space crackles with banter, clashes, and moments that catch her off guard.

His Starbound Claim

His Starbound Claim

B. Luna

“I can feel you. All of you.”

His fingers creep down my body, leaving goosebumps in their wake.

“For millennia, our people have believed in a bond stronger than love. Stronger than life. And I know that’s what this is.” I let out a soft moan as his lips brush my neck.

“And you, Poloma… You are mine. My destiny. My starbound.”

Poloma is a member of a First Nations tribe who believe that each person is blessed with a sacred soulmate called a “Starbound” from birth. She doesn’t believe in the bond.

Until she meets him.
