Broken

Broken

Evelyn Miller

When Lily finds her boyfriend cheating on her the summer before senior year, it's just another broken piece in her already disappointing life. Then she meets Mason, who seems equally as broken for a different reason, but together they make summer their own and set off to complete a bucket list of promises they vow not to break...and maybe some feelings develop along the way. But their summer fling ends in disaster when Lily and Mason realize they're from rival schools, competing in rival teams. Even worse, when a tragic accident puts their priorities into perspective, can Lily and Mason find a way to be together, and will their friends—and the ultra-competitive sports teams—allow them to have the happy ending they dream of...?

Life is Not a Game

Life is Not a Game

Kara Verbeek

Charlotte leads a double life. Online, she is Mars: gamer, master strategist, and one of the boys. In real life, she’s too shy to utter a single word. On her team, she’s infallible. At school, she’s a freak. But a cross-country move gives her a chance to reinvent herself—until a fateful collision with her new friend’s gorgeous brother knocks her whole world off course. Will she have the courage to date football jock TJ? Or should she stick to her online love, Tony—even if he thinks she’s a boy?

The Perfect Spiral

The Perfect Spiral

Ashley Constantine

Alex Thompson is working on her third master's degree, she has three *very* protective older brothers, and she's never thought of herself as the "hot friend." Oh yeah, and her brother's best friend is Knox Carter, an NFL quarterback and the Sexiest Man Alive. She and Knox have always hated each other, but has that conflict been hiding deeper feelings?

My Sister's Wedding

Billionaire's Masquerade

C. Qualls

When Carly starts her new job, she finds herself very attracted to a cute coworker but also drawn to a mystery man that she meets at her company’s masquerade ball. She’ll have to play detective to figure out who her masked lover is while juggling her flirtation with her sweet co-worker, learning the ropes of a new job, and dealing with an unexpected complication.

Sweet Temptation

Sweet Temptation

Merra Gischan

This stunning woman with her mesmerizing eyes. She’s lucky her friend arrived, or else I might have taken her straight to bed, making her moan and plead. A not so gentle reminder for her to lock her door, especially when she is planning on baking barely dressed.

Without a doubt, she's what I'd desirably refer to as my sweet temptation.

Sumner Comes First

Sumner Comes First

Vivienne Wren

Sumner arrives at the lake house determined to keep her heart locked tight. This summer is about fixing her life, not reopening old wounds. Then Corbin walks in with that familiar grin and zero respect for emotional safety plans. He is her brother’s best friend, her first crush, and the mistake she never quite forgot. Confined spaces, shared memories, and long summer nights stir feelings she swears are buried. Corbin challenges every rule she makes, while Sumner fights the pull between comfort and chaos. Old sparks crackle with new heat, and resisting him starts to feel like the hardest rule she has ever made. Falling again feels reckless… but what if it is exactly what she needs?

The Drake Twins

The Drake Twins

Rowan Cody

They used to make her life miserable—every taunt, every smirk, every stolen moment meant to break her down. But growing up didn’t erase the magnetic pull she’s always felt toward the Drake twins. Now, seven years later, they’re back in her world—older, darker, and twice as tempting. Their arrogance is still there, but so is something new flickering behind those wicked eyes. Desire. Challenge. A dangerous game she swore she’d never play again. She tells herself she should walk away, but the truth is she’s never been good at resisting them—or the delicious kind of chaos they bring.

Yes, Mr Knight

Yes, Mr Knight

Natalie Roche

“You’ve been a good girl all your life, Jamie.”

My heart was pounding, and he had me totally lost for words.

“Why don’t you do yourself a favor and allow the Bad Girl to come out and play? I will pleasure her like she’s never been pleasured before.”

Mason Knight. A billionaire heartthrob with looks that make women stop and stare as he walks by. Jamie had always told herself she’d never be one of “those” women who fell for her boss. But then, she’d never had someone like Mason set his sights on her…

Teach You, Teach Me

N. Warren

Having a massive crush on your brother's best friend is so cliché, right? But what if that best friend comes back into your orbit after six years? And what if he's even dreamier than you remembered and presents you with a deal that you simply cannot refuse? There's a girl he wants, and he's asked you to help make her his—finally. Yeah, it sucks that the girl isn't you, but he's desperate and mouthwatering, and he'll do anything you want him to do to make you say yes...so you agree. The deal is set; you teach him to nail the girl of his dreams (literally), and he'll teach you how to pick up guys. It's simple, right? Because you both get what you want? So then, how does it go so wrong?
