Blame It on Paris

Aimee Ginger

Anelise Morgan was trying to break free from the sheltered life that her parents had raised her in. She was in college spreading her wings, growing and becoming her own person. She was even lucky enough to find a best friend and surrogate family to help guide her and love her. She felt like the world was just waiting for her to experience it. Michael Whitlock was desperate for help with his son. So when his neighbors offered their daughter as an option, he jumped on the idea. He had no idea what was in store for him when he saw her the first time. She was nothing like pictures at her parent’s home and he was awestruck by the sight before him. All he knew was that his heart had never beat the way it had been since he laid eyes on her.

Three. The Perfect Number

Three. The Perfect Number

R. S. Aria

Madison Davis is finally done with college. Time to go home, see her brothers and their best friends, the twins, and find a boyfriend who won’t cheat on her with her friend. But Madison’s life is upended when she sees the twins again. Suddenly they don’t feel so much like brothers to her, and she doesn’t feel like their friends’ bratty little sister to them, either... What are they going to do when they can’t resist each other any longer? And what will her brothers say?

The Arrangement

S. S. Sahoo

Xavier Knight knows the two things guaranteed to turn a girl on: fast cars and money. He has both.

But appearances are deceiving, and sometimes polar opposites aren’t as different as they seem…

The Devil's Carnage MC: Grim

The Devil's Carnage MC: Grim

Roanna Hinks

There were rumors about him from brothers and the club girls, but nothing stuck.

I said nothing to him, thinking he would leave or even grunt at me when I walked past.

Moving from where I stood, I turned my back to him, which wasn’t the best move I ever made.

Nova never expected much from the club—just survival, not love. But everything changes the night Grim steps out of the shadows and claims her with one word. He’s danger in denim, mystery in a leather cut, and the only man who’s ever made her feel truly seen. But loving a man like him means walking a knife’s edge between freedom and chaos. As Nova starts dreaming of a way out, Grim's world starts closing in. He says he won’t let her go. She wants to believe him... but can she trust a promise from a man who’s never lived outside the club?

Taken By The Mafia

Taken By The Mafia

Annie Whipple

“Good morning, bella mia.”

He brought my earlobe into his mouth. It felt incredible, but I didn't want to give him the satisfaction, so I kept my eyes shut.

“I know you’re awake, Freya,” He kissed my neck. “Not gonna open your eyes? Okay, let’s play…”

I felt him move so that he was on top of me. I instinctively spread my legs just a little so the most dangerous mafia don in the country could slide his body between them.

When Freya wakes up in an Italian villa next to a gorgeous stranger, she has no idea how she got there. As she examines the mysterious Greek god of a man next to her, she tries to remember… was he an innocent one-night stand? Or something else?

Summer In Our Bones

Summer In Our Bones

Briana Bennett

Jordan Maxwell shows up in sun-kissed Valencia for a family wedding expecting football, food, and maybe a few too many cousins—not the Silva twins. Gorgeous, rich, and way too sure of themselves, they’re the kind of trouble he swears he’s immune to. Except one of them—Nico—smiles, and suddenly Jordan’s pulse is doing cartwheels.

Between orange blossoms, beach parties, and late-night secrets, Valencia turns into a slow-burn battlefield of flirtation and denial. Nico is equal parts danger and delight, and Jordan can’t decide if he wants to punch him, kiss him, or both. But when sparks catch fire under the Mediterranean sun, there’s no hiding what’s real.

Because some secrets can stay buried—until love blows the lid clean off.

Jane has always had a great relationship with the four friends, and as they turned into young men they had started to tease and flirt with her, each one trying to embarrass her with some innuendo, or risque comment. That weekend seemed like it would be no different - but she was wrong, it would be so different, and things would never be the same again.

For Finlay

J. Nathan

Finlay Thatcher is a lost soul, guilt-ridden after the death of her twin brother. When Alabama's football coach gives her the opportunity to work for him, she knows it's her chance to move on, even if it means living her brother's dream.

Caden Brooks is Alabama's star quarterback. He's got it all. The attention of adoring fans. A girlfriend who'd do anything to hold on to him. And a future in the pros. He's getting along just fine until Finlay steps into his life, despising him at first sight and pushing his buttons like no other.

Unfortunately for Finlay, and her attempt to keep Caden at arm's length, there's nothing Caden loves more than a challenge. The problem with this challenge is she comes with a secret that has the power to destroy everything.

This New Adult Romance is book one in the For You standalone series. Each book can be read as a complete standalone as it follows a new couple.
