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.

Natalie K

Sophie has never stayed long enough to call anywhere home, always drifting before roots can take hold. Returning to her small hometown in Texas feels like stepping into a life she once left behind, full of familiar roads and watchful eyes. There, she meets two very different cowboys—one bold and charming, the kind who sweeps her into a whirlwind, and another quiet and steady, seeing her in ways no one else ever has. In a town where whispers travel fast and loyalties run deep, Sophie finds herself caught between attention, comfort, and the pull of something more meaningful. As she begins to settle, she must decide what belonging truly means—and who makes it feel real.

F**k It You're Mine

Sarie Writes

Amara never plans on getting tangled up with Jace, the kind of guy everyone warns you about with a knowing look and a shake of the head. He is intense, unpredictable, and far too used to getting exactly what he wants. At first, she pushes back, holding tight to her independence and refusing to be another story people whisper about. But Jace does not play by rules, especially when it comes to her. The pull between them is fierce, addictive, and impossible to ignore. Every glance lingers, every touch feels charged, and every step away becomes harder than the last. As tension builds and control slips, Amara must figure out where she stands in a connection that feels as thrilling as it is overwhelming.
