Forbidden Men Book 1: Price of a Kiss

Forbidden Men Book 1: Price of a Kiss

by Linda Kage

I don't care what my cousin says; I am not the queen of impossible relationships. I mean, just because my last boyfriend tried to kill me and left a bit of a scar on my neck, then forced me to move across the country and legally change my name to Reese Randall to escape him, does not mean-

Oh, who am I kidding? For a freshman in college, I have to have the worst dating track record ever.

It's no wonder love is the last thing on my mind when Mason Lowe enters my life. But the chemistry between us is like bam! Our connection defies logic. And he's just so freaking hot. Being around him makes me feel more alive than I've ever felt before. I even like bickering with him. He could be my soul mate...except for one teeny tiny glitch.

He's a gigolo.

Boy, do I know how to pick them.

by Anne Laura van Rooij

Lena Carter has one rule she refuses to break—Jaxon Walker is off limits. He’s her best friend’s older brother, the school’s star point guard, and the last person she should ever want. But rules have a funny way of bending when Jaxon decides he’s not going anywhere. What starts as teasing banter and sharp-tongued exchanges slowly shifts into something heavier, charged with stolen glances and moments that linger too long. Lena keeps telling herself to stay away, to stay loyal, to stay safe. Yet every interaction pulls her closer to the one person she swore she wouldn’t fall for. And when lines finally blur, she has to decide if protecting the truth is worth losing the only connection that feels real.

Boxing Day

Boxing Day

by Jen Cooper

“Spread your legs, Millie.”

I couldn’t believe I was in the boxing ring with the head coach of my dad's gym. Leo was over a decade older and completely off-limits.

And he was training me in secret.

When I entered the Boxing Day tournament to save my bakery, my whole family bet against me. If my dad found out Leo was coaching me to win, he’d fire Leo and disown me forever.

Imagine what he’d do if he knew what else was going on between us.

Leo kicked my feet apart and gave me a smirk I knew was going to cause trouble. “Good girl.”

But I was starting to think a little trouble was worth it.
