Auctioned Omega

Auctioned Omega

by Sarah Tribus

Aurora always thought she was just another girl in the pack—until her 16th birthday flips her world upside down. She’s an Omega, and in her ruthless pack, that’s not a blessing—it’s a transaction. Now she’s marked as rare and valuable... but only in the worst ways. With her freedom stripped and choices stolen, Aurora is thrown into a brutal system where her worth is measured by the packs that want to claim her. But quiet doesn’t mean weak, and Aurora is about to show everyone exactly what she’s made of. When the world tells her to kneel, will she rise instead?

Reed's Sex Academy

Reed's Sex Academy

by Rhea Harp

Why do I want this job? Because my sister is in foster care. Because I’m broke and can’t find a decent-paying job. And because I’m seriously on the verge of a breakdown if things don’t start looking up soon.

Mr. Reed opens my eyes, and my body, to the unspoken world of the Academy. I’m powerless to deny him anything. He owns me, and he knows it.

But someone else knows. Someone determined to take both of us down.

Will I survive long enough to get out with my heart intact?

The Doctor's Mates Book 1

The Doctor's Mates Book 1

by Corinthe Davies

Anastasia thrives on chaos, caffeine, and saving lives during long ER night shifts. She expects blood, broken bones, and the occasional miracle, not a secret call that pulls her into a hidden wolf pack with rules of its own. Medicine meets moonlight as instincts stir and bonds snap into place without asking permission. Three powerful wolves circle her world, each reacting differently to the pull they cannot deny. One offers warmth, one offers loyalty, and one clearly wishes she would disappear. Anastasia carries secrets of her own, and staying detached feels safer than trusting fate. But when destiny growls this loudly, can anyone pretend it is not real?

Dirty Money Book 1: The Million Dollar Virgin

Dirty Money Book 1: The Million Dollar Virgin

by Rebekah Halt

Sloane Heathrow was never supposed to apply. It was a joke — a late-night click on a dark web ad offering one million dollars for one virgin. But when a black-and-gold email lands in her inbox with an interview time and location, the joke stops being funny. The offer is real. The contract is binding. And the men behind it are hidden, impossibly wealthy, and completely untouchable. Suddenly, Sloane is pulled into a world built on luxury, secrecy, and control, where every rule is carefully designed to keep her in line. What begins as a bold decision quickly becomes something far more dangerous as boundaries blur, emotions deepen, and the arrangement becomes harder to escape than she ever expected.

Thirty days.

Three men.

One secret she can never tell.

Stockholm Syndrome

by Vivienne Wren

“You’re looking for good in a bad man. That’s a dangerous thing to do.”

Zara is trapped, tied, and desperate to escape. The men holding her are ruthless, but it’s their leader who unsettles her most. He’s sharp, cold, unreadable—and the only one she can’t look away from.

The lines between fear and longing blur until she can’t tell where danger ends and desire begins. Survival demands distance, yet every moment close to him feels like a secret she’s not ready to give up. Is she falling for her captor—or is she just losing herself?

His plan is simple and terrifying: keep them close until he crosses the border. The danger escalates when Nataly learns he is not just a criminal on the run, but the crime boss of a ruthless organization. Cold, lethal, and covered in death-themed tattoos, he should be everything she fears. Yet under his control, she feels safer than ever before. On the road, fear blurs into desire, rules start to crack, and Nataly must decide if trusting her captor is survival—or the most dangerous mistake of her life.

Taken By The Mafia

Taken By The Mafia

by 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?
