Big & Beautiful 1: Chubby & Charming

Big & Beautiful 1: Chubby & Charming

by Mary E Thompson

Who needs men when you have cupcakes? Life was good. I didn’t need anything. Especially not a sexy, funny, sweet stranger who wanted to go on a date. My friends told me to give him a chance, but I knew he’d take one look at my curvy body and come up with a reason not to go out again. So, I gave him an out. He didn’t take it. The man was relentless. He liked my curves, and he wanted more than just phone calls. He wanted me. How could I say no to that?

Conflict of Interest

by Daphne Anders

Olivia has spent her whole life following the rules her father sets for her, right down to the powerful law firm she’s about to join. Then one unforgettable night at a glamorous legal gala changes everything. Alaric is older, untouchable, and completely off-limits—her father’s closest friend, trusted business partner, and now the man she’ll be working under every single day. The chemistry between them is impossible to ignore, no matter how hard they try to bury it beneath sharp suits, witty banter, and professional distance. But stolen glances quickly become dangerous temptation. In a world built on reputation, secrets travel fast, and one wrong move could ruin everything they’ve worked for. Too bad resisting each other is becoming a full-time job.

Soul Sisters

Soul Sisters

by S. L. Adams

I’ve known my dad’s business partners all my life. They were there during my wild teenage years, doing their best to keep me out of trouble. Now my dad wants me to go on a month-long road trip with them—just me and three older men—to teach me the family business. But the trip isn’t just about work. When we’re not stripping down old wrecks or attending car shows, the guys plan to court me. That’s right: all three of them want to marry me—at once! And their idea of courtship isn’t serenading and poetry. They want me in their bed every night. Though I have no intention of marrying them, I am down for some steamy nights on the road. Soul Sisters is a reverse-harem, age-gap romance filled with adventure, humor, love, tears, and sizzling-hot sex.
