Living with her best friend Luke should feel safe—until his older brother Mason Hayes enters the picture. The brooding team captain has spent years avoiding Dahlia, hiding the truth: he’s been in love with her since the day they met.

As jealousy, desire, and buried secrets explode, Dahlia must decide who she truly loves—and whether risking everything is worth the truth.

by Rachael Stitchy

Caught between three powerful rulers who move through the world like they own every shadow, Marla fights to keep her voice steady and her heart guarded. Their attention is intense, consuming, and far too focused on her. She refuses to be treated like a prize, yet their pull wraps around her with a heat she can’t quite shake. Each king brings a different kind of danger, and together they push her toward a fate she never asked for. But Marla is no quiet plaything. As their world closes in, she rises with fire of her own, ready to claim her place instead of being claimed.

Foolish Games

Foolish Games

by Shala Mungroo

Jessie likes her quiet life exactly the way it is. No drama, no spotlight, and definitely no attention from the most popular guy at school. She keeps her head down, avoids gossip, and plans to survive college unnoticed. Then Nick walks straight into her carefully guarded world with an easy smile and far too much confidence. Everyone adores him, but Jessie isn’t impressed by charm, football trophies, or pretty blue eyes. That only seems to make Nick more determined. The more he chases her, the more Jessie realizes there’s something unexpectedly genuine beneath his golden-boy reputation. Between teasing conversations, stolen moments, and feelings neither of them planned for, Jessie starts wondering if being noticed might not be the worst thing after all.

As she plays with their hearts and minds, Harley wrestles with the growing realization that maybe it was her who jumped the gun. Do these guys truly feel the way they claim? She is determined to find out, one way or another. And if she has to break a few hearts along the way, then so be it. But what if it’s her own heart that she’s breaking?

Kingsley's Bride

by S. S. Sahoo

"I could not breathe.

That image, Lord Kingsley’s face in the moonlight, red-streaked steel in his hand, and those cold, terrifying eyes, was burned into me.

What had I just witnessed?

Who was this man?

And what secrets did the Kingsley Estate keep buried beneath its manicured grounds and placid lake?"

Scarlett never dreams of marrying a man like Lord Darius—cold, unreadable, and carrying secrets darker than midnight. But when her sister vanishes and jilts him at the altar, Scarlett must step into her place as his bride. Now trapped in a marriage she never wanted, she can’t ignore the mysteries swirling around the Kingsley estate—or the chilling night she saw Darius with blood on his blade. With whispers of betrayal, long-buried family secrets, and a sister who may not have left by choice, Scarlett is caught in a dangerous game. Yet the more she clashes with her forbidding husband, the harder it becomes to tell where fear ends and desire begins.

Mad Dog

Mad Dog

by 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.

The Millionaire Offer

The Millionaire Offer

by Mira Matic

Offers can be tricky, especially when those offers are from a powerful man with nothing to lose.

Lucius Casano thought he had everything: a thriving career, a beautiful wife, and a newly adopted baby. But then all hell broke loose, leaving him alone with a child who needed more care than he could provide on his own.

Kali Alden never spent more than two years in the same place. At a young age, she longed for the one thing her mother could never give her: stability. When her mother escapes for a new life, leaving Kali and her sister behind, Kali must make the best of a bad situation.

With a child’s health on the line, can one offer, and one baby, help two people find their path to happiness?
