Mile High

Mile High

Ophelia Bell

Three years ago, J.J. Santos, Jr. got himself killed—at least that’s what it said on paper. The DEA resurrected me as Mason Black, forcing me to leave behind everyone I’ve ever cared about, including an angel in blue scrubs I can’t seem to get out of my head.

Her name is Dr. Callie Nicolo, and when our paths cross again, I’m in more danger than ever before. But I’m not about to leave her behind this time. Not even if it compromises my identity and my mission.

I’m the kind of man who wants it all. I’ll find a way to pacify the warring cartels on my tail and make up for lost time with the woman of my dreams. Most importantly, I’ll protect what’s mine—the doc who saved my life in more ways than one, and the little girl waiting for me back in Mexico.

Let me Love You

Let me Love You

Rachael Stitchy

Vanessa likes her world quiet, controlled, and blissfully free of anyone trying to charm their way past her walls. Then her new neighbor shows up with a grin that is far too warm and a confidence that rattles her steady stride. Every encounter knocks her a little off balance, and his teasing spark feels annoyingly good. He sees the shadows she carries, yet he steps closer instead of backing away. As their playful clashes grow into something softer, Vanessa feels the light tugging at her edges. Letting him in might be messy, risky, and wildly inconvenient… but it also might be the first thing that feels right in a long time.

CC Adele

Ashton lives fast and rides hard. Love is a distant memory, at least until the thrill of the ride isn’t enough to fill the Sydnee-sized void in his chest. She is off-limits in every way that matters, yet impossible to ignore—all sharp edges and a strength that demands notice. But when trauma strikes, it drives the forgiveness they both desperately seek. As shadows continue to creep in, they are pulled into a dangerous game neither of them signed up for. Secrets deepen, trust gets tested, and every choice feels heavier than the last. Ashton and Sydnee must face more than just their pasts. Because sometimes the biggest risk is not the danger around you… it’s the person standing right in front of you.

Mad Dog

Mad Dog

Ophelia Bell

I’m the female heir to LA’s underground empire, which makes love a liability. But there are two men I won’t give up … no matter the cost.

One is my first love, a man my ruthless father had beaten more than a decade ago for daring to touch me. He’s back in town and those feelings have been rekindled with a vengeance.

The other is my bodyguard, a man who would take a bullet for me, and nearly dies trying to do just that.

Daring to bring us together for one explosive night of passion puts all three of our lives on a collision course with one of the most deadly Mexican cartels. For some reason my father’s oldest enemy is after me, and uncovering my family’s dark secrets might be the only way to protect the men I love.

What Remains The John Baker Story

What Remains The John Baker Story

Jeannie Sharpe

Savannah Baker has built her life on loyalty, routine, and the quiet belief that love—real love—means staying. In the small town of Camden, where every road carries a memory and every face tells a story, Savannah’s world has always centered around her husband, John Baker, and their two daughters. John is the kind of man people trust without question—a devoted father, a steady presence, a man who has spent years building a life that appears unshakable from the outside. But appearances have a way of hiding what matters most. When John suddenly collapses without warning, the fragile foundation of their life begins to fracture. What starts as a medical emergency quickly becomes something far more complicated, pulling Savannah into a reality she never expected to face. As John fights to recover, the quiet spaces between them begin to fill with questions neither of them are ready to answer. Because long before the collapse… something had already gone wrong. Savannah senses it in the way John avoids her eyes. In the tension that lingers in their home long after the doctors say he’s stable. In the small, almost invisible changes that only a wife would notice. And then there is Claire Whitmore. A name that doesn’t belong in their life—and yet somehow does. Claire exists on the edges of everything, never fully seen, never fully explained, but impossible to ignore. As Savannah begins to piece together the truth, she realizes that the life she has been protecting may not be the life she thought she was living. Still, Savannah does not confront him. Not yet. Instead, she does what she has always done—she stays. For her daughters. For the family she believes is still worth saving. For the version of John she refuses to let go of. But love, she is about to learn, is not the same as trust. As the days pass and John recovers at home, the tension between them grows heavier, tightening like a knot neither of them knows how to untangle. Every conversation feels incomplete. Every silence feels louder. And every glance carries the weight of something unspoken. John is hiding something. And Savannah is running out of time to pretend she doesn’t know it. Around them, life in Camden continues—friends show up with casseroles and quiet concern, their daughters try to make sense of the shift they can feel but cannot name, and the familiar rhythms of small-town life press forward as if nothing has changed. But everything has. Because the truth is not just about betrayal. It’s about what remains after it. When the past refuses to stay buried, Savannah is forced to confront a question she has spent her entire life avoiding: What do you do when the person you love most becomes the person you no longer recognize? And more importantly… Can a marriage survive the weight of what was never meant to be discovered? What Remains: The John Baker Story is an emotionally charged exploration of love, loyalty, and the quiet devastation of secrets. Set against the backdrop of a close-knit coastal town, this story unravels the fragile threads that hold a family together—and asks whether love can endure when trust is broken, or if some truths change everything forever.

Wild Wild Witch Spinoff - The Good, the Bad, and the Eerie

Wild Wild Witch Spinoff - The Good, the Bad, and the Eerie

Cherry Redwood

In this spinoff of Wild Wild Witch, Linda Mae Walley survived the Hell Gate demon battle that killed her father—but the townsfolk of Copperwood wish she hadn’t. Ostracized as one of the “cursed” possessed, she’s banned from shops, condemned by the pastor, and ignored by Sheriff Richard Leland, the man she’s secretly loved since childhood.

After discovering her own witch powers while saving Richard from a wolf attack—only to be met with his horror and rejection—Linda devises a dangerous plan: she will impersonate the Erlking’s Daughter, a demon from the forest, and attack the church with green-fire fireworks, uniting the town against a common enemy.

The deception works, but the real Erlking’s Daughter retaliates. As chaos engulfs Copperwood, Linda is captured by the Erlking himself, who offers her a choice: become his queen, or fight to save the town that despises her.
