The Game of Obsession

The Game of Obsession

Chantielu

Emily thought it was just a crush. A flirty smile here, a clever line there—until Damion made it a game. And with Damion, the rules are always shifting. What starts as teasing turns into something tangled and intense, pulling Emily into a spiral of reputations ruined, hearts tested, and feelings she swore she'd left behind. But forgetting him? Easier said than done. Damion plays to win, and Emily’s heart is the prize. Trouble is, she’s not playing by his rules anymore. Love, obsession, or something even more dangerous? It all depends on who breaks first.

No Such Thing

No Such Thing

Tiff

There’s no such thing as fairytales. There’s no such thing as fidelity. Anything can happen at any moment. One minute you can be so happy that all you want to do is scream, and the next… you’re sitting all alone in your bedroom crying your eyes out because the one person who you thought would be there with you through anything, isn’t there anymore. I watched my mom’s heart break.

So why would I want to follow in the same fate? Why would I want to indirectly stumble right into my hearts demise? I can’t. I won’t.

Love is an illusion – There’s just no such thing.

Playing for Keeps

Playing for Keeps

Amber Kuhlman

Kate has built her life around staying careful, steady, and far away from anything that could break her again. Seth Tate, the town’s star quarterback, is the exact opposite—reckless, intense, and carrying a past that refuses to stay buried. When their worlds collide, neither of them is prepared for how quickly attraction turns into something deeper. But love between them is never simple. Old wounds, emotional walls, and pressures from the world around them keep pulling them apart just as they start to feel close. Kate wants to protect her heart, Seth wants to prove he’s worth the risk, and both must decide if what they feel is strong enough to survive everything working against them.

The Unbroken Series Book 1: Gelasia Unbroken

S. L. Adams

Lacey Jones has her life mapped down to the last detail—classes, her spot as starting goalie on the school hockey team, and absolutely no time for dating. But plans don’t always survive reality. An ill-advised relationship with her coach quickly turns abusive, leaving her vulnerable and unsure who to trust. Then the last person she ever expected steps in: her childhood bully. He volunteers to be her bodyguard, determined to shield her from the chaos threatening to consume her—and his interest goes far beyond protection. With sparks flying and old wounds resurfacing, Lacey must decide if the boy who once tormented her might now be the man she needs. But opening her heart could mean risking everything she’s built—and herself.

Desires of the Dark Forest

Desires of the Dark Forest

Anne Onymous

The Dark Forest has always whispered to her—a pull she can’t ignore. Becoming a Hunter should mean slaying the creatures hidden in its shadows, but when she steps inside, the truth feels far more dangerous. These monsters don’t run from her… they reach for her. And their touch feels less like a threat and more like a promise. Each step draws her deeper, not just into the Forest, but into a web of longing, secrets, and a hunger she can’t name. What if she wasn’t called here to kill at all? What if the Forest wants her for something far more intoxicating—and far more impossible 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.

M. A. L'amour

Harper leaves her school years behind, convinced she has finally escaped the boy who made every day feel like a battle.

When their paths cross again, the past refuses to stay quiet. Familiar tension returns, only now it carries a different edge, one that feels far more complicated than simple resentment. Harper finds herself caught between what she remembers and what she begins to see, as layers peel back and old certainties blur. The connection she once fought against now lingers in unexpected ways, pulling her closer when she should walk away. And suddenly, moving on feels far less simple than she ever imagined.

Texts to Texas

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

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.
