Love at First Stoplight

Guinevere

Cami always feels like the universe is out to get her. Every time she gets to a stoplight it turns red, without fail. After being dumped by her boyfriend, she doesn’t think her day could get any worse. That is until… of course, another red light.

Bully

Bully

Emily Dash

Evie does her best to stay small, hoping the school’s spotlight—and Noah’s sharp tongue—never lands on her for too long. But one moment of compassion pulls her straight into Noah’s world, cracking the mask he hides behind and exposing the bruised places neither of them ever show. A charged encounter leads to a kiss that should never happen, and suddenly the roles they’ve worn for years no longer fit. As whispers spread and loyalties twist, Evie tries to hold on to her quiet life while discovering a side of Noah that disarms her. Noah battles the pressure to stay who everyone expects. Their fragile bond pushes them to face truth, shame, and the longing to finally be seen.

The Professor

The Professor

Mary Olajire

When Dalia Campbell bumps into hot and handsome Noah Anderson in the club, sparks fly and their passion-filled night together leaves her wanting more. But come the first day of class, the last person she expects to see standing at the front of the lecture hall, introducing himself to the class as her professor...is Noah. As reminders of that one-night stand flood in, Dalia and Noah find it increasingly difficult to keep away from each other. Add to the mix a whole host of family drama, high tensions, and the fact Dalia's about to be recruited as Noah's teaching assistant, and soon, their close proximity means Dalia and Noah are unable to resist temptation...no matter if their reputations are at stake.

The Professor

The Professor

B. E. Harmel

He was her first obsession—young, brilliant, off-limits. Now she’s a bestselling erotic novelist, back in the halls where it all began. When her old teacher reads the words she once wrote about him, the line between fantasy and reality blurs—and desire becomes impossible to resist.

Perfect Touchdown

Perfect Touchdown

Arya Kaunis

Meet Rylee Parks, a cheerleader who can't wait to break from her good-girl past.

Meet Aiden Reed, a varsity football player who can drink anybody under the table and who would do anything to protect the friends he sees as a brother and a sister.

This is Rylee's first year of university, and she wants to experience everything—including Jake, the handsome new guy she meets.

Aiden has a new love interest of his own—Rylee's best friend, Isabelle, who's changed from a plain nerd into the sexiest creature he's ever seen.

But what happens when Rylee and Aiden can't seem to stop thinking about each other?

The Tech Billionaire's Assistant

The Tech Billionaire's Assistant

S. Y. Maya

Him: the ruthless tech billionaire whose name is whispered in fear from New York to Hong Kong while his godlike face is splashed across magazine covers from Fortune to Vogue.

Her: an out-of-work computer programmer with a sunny outlook and a troublesome tongue who isn’t afraid to speak her mind and won’t take smack from anybody.

What happens when she accepts a job working as his personal assistant? How will they cope with long hours, late nights, and a passionate hatred for one another?

Would you stand up to the fiery gaze of the tech billionaire?

Hate Notes

Hate Notes

Zainab Sambo

A small-town florist. A superstar quarterback. A decade of hate notes that were never meant to be seen.

Iris writes hate notes the way other people breathe: privately, viciously, and just to survive the mess Jesse left behind. Then someone drags her most humiliating thoughts into the light, and overnight Iris becomes the internet's favourite new obsession, "the girl who hates the quarterback."

Jesse, now a pro football star with a talent for turning charm into armour, comes home determined to handle it. Iris would rather set her hydrangeas on fire than let him control the story again. Especially when the leaks keep coming, the spotlight gets meaner, and her life starts to catch literal heat.

With a steady, too kind ER doctor offering safety, and Jesse refusing to let her go, Iris is trapped between the man who knows her best and the one who feels like an escape. But someone in their small town is fanning the flames on purpose, and if Iris wants her future back, she'll have to risk the one thing she swore she'd never give Jesse again: the truth.

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.

Private Lessons

Private Lessons

Chaotic Soul

Riley Adams is what high schoolers would call a nerd: booksmart and shy, with zero fashion sense. Tristan Harris is the exact opposite: captain of the football team, and the hottest guy in school by far. To say they don’t get along is putting it mildly… But then Riley starts offering private lessons to make some quick cash. Sure, they might despise each other, but it’s a thin line between love and hate.

The Marks That Bind Us

The Marks That Bind Us

Vivienne Wren

After Ava Mayweather is rescued by a strikingly handsome, but arrogant stranger, he offers her the job of her dreams at his billion-dollar company. Cyrus Brentstone is cold, cynical and aggressive — everything Ava is trying to avoid in men. So why does she keep getting drawn to him? And why does he seem to do everything within his power to keep her from dating other men?

Colt

Colt

Simone Elise

Summer might be married to a handsome businessman, but she knows something about his temper that others don’t. When her brother finds out what she’s been going through, he makes sure that his MC protects her. Only Summer wants nothing to do with MC life…until she meets "The Devil," and realizes there’s nothing quite like a bad boy to get her heart racing.

PostScriptRegrets

Hayden Clover is the school's golden boy. Perfect grades, perfect face, perfect body, a pro in every sport and a total sweetheart. He's the guy everyone can't help but like. Enter Jamie Abbott; Hayden's new step-brother.

Jamie is the complete opposite of Hayden. He's rude, sarcastic, and if he weren't so undeniably attractive, he'd be the last person you'd want to talk to. But aside from all this, he's the one person Hayden can't stop thinking about. And the one person Hayden can't seem to impress.
