The Ice Beneath Us

The Ice Beneath Us

by Elara Richards

Theo Reid, the star captain of the Stormhawks Ice Hockey Team, lives for the thrill of the game—until he keeps colliding off the ice with someone just as fiery: Victoria Hales, the sharp-tongued, no-nonsense assistant coach of their biggest rival team the Thunderwolves. Sparks fly, tempers flare, and every run-in is a battle of wills… and barely contained chemistry.

What starts as banter turns into stolen moments, late-night phone calls, truths unveiled and passion that neither of them can ignore.

Theo and Tori find themselves tangled in something far deeper than rivalry. As the playoffs heat up, so does their connection. Their love story is spicy, soul-bearing, and totally off-limits… but some lines are meant to be crossed.

Add loads of alcohol and years of pent-up lust, and let’s just say there may be more than one wedding this weekend!

A Kiss Is... Book 1: A Kiss Is Just A Kiss

by Selena Ellis

Ethan didn’t expect a kiss to mean everything—until Julio treated it like nothing. When Julio shrugs it off with a casual, “A kiss is just a kiss,” it cuts deeper than Ethan wants to admit, because his feelings were never casual. Now every look, every joke, every moment between them feels loaded with what was said—and what wasn’t. Ethan tries to act fine, but the words keep echoing, turning one small moment into something he can’t forget. Because maybe it wasn’t just a kiss… and maybe Julio knows it too.

Always You: Falling for my Best Friend

Always You: Falling for my Best Friend

by B. E. Harmel

The night of her husband’s funeral, she opens her door to find the last person she ever expected—her high school best friend, her first crush, the boy who vanished years ago and took her heart with him. They’ve both lived whole lives since, with scars they can’t hide. But one look, and the years vanish. The connection is still there—familiar, fierce, and impossible to ignore. Now older, braver, and maybe more broken, they face a choice: take the leap and risk the love they never stopped wanting… or protect their hearts before history repeats itself. Fate rarely knocks twice—but when it does, everything changes.

Perfect Pieces

Perfect Pieces

by 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.
