Always You: Falling for my Best Friend

Always You: Falling for my Best Friend

B. E. Harmel

The night of her husband’s funeral, she opens her door to find the last person she ever expected—her high school best friend, her first crush, the boy who vanished years ago and took her heart with him. They’ve both lived whole lives since, with scars they can’t hide. But one look, and the years vanish. The connection is still there—familiar, fierce, and impossible to ignore. Now older, braver, and maybe more broken, they face a choice: take the leap and risk the love they never stopped wanting… or protect their hearts before history repeats itself. Fate rarely knocks twice—but when it does, everything changes.

The Unchosen Path

The Unchosen Path

Madelyn Jane

Ada is alone in the world, abandoned by her father, mourning her dead mother, and constantly abused by her stepfather Lugh. When her town is overrun by Vikings avenging the death of one of their own, she's captured by Cayden, the Chief's son. Bargaining for her life, Ada becomes his personal servant, but while she should be afraid of him, there's no doubt that he doesn't seem to see her as just the spoils of war. As they spend more and more time together, it becomes harder to resist their feelings for each other.

F**k It You're Mine

F**k It You're Mine

Sarie Writes

Amara never plans on getting tangled up with Jace, the kind of guy everyone warns you about with a knowing look and a shake of the head. He is intense, unpredictable, and far too used to getting exactly what he wants. At first, she pushes back, holding tight to her independence and refusing to be another story people whisper about. But Jace does not play by rules, especially when it comes to her. The pull between them is fierce, addictive, and impossible to ignore. Every glance lingers, every touch feels charged, and every step away becomes harder than the last. As tension builds and control slips, Amara must figure out where she stands in a connection that feels as thrilling as it is overwhelming.

The Fighters

The Fighters

C. Sweets

“Stop staring, Ryker.” Lilly says it in her head while she’s deadlifting before sunrise… and he keeps staring anyway. Before any boy gets in her way, Lilly is just trying to survive Montisque Academy without crying in the courtyard again, keep her head down, and get strong enough to feel untouchable. Then her teacher, Mr. Coleson, calmly slides a stack of papers toward her and admits he isn’t just grading. He’s her father’s bodyguard. So now Lilly’s got a gorgeous, rule-breaking adult shadowing her hallways, a rich gym boy watching her like he already owns the view, and bullies who love an audience. She should hate the attention—she does hate it—which makes it worse when her skin still prickles. And you know that moment when you can feel gossip being born? Yeah, that. Coleson walks her out after school, fingers brushing her elbow like it’s nothing, and every head turns. “Lilliana Lorenzo?” the front office calls.

Apartment No. 107

Chaotic Soul

Ridhi arrives in Texas chasing a dream shaped by movies, hope, and a suitcase full of expectations. She imagines freedom, adventure, and a fresh start far from home. Instead, reality greets her with culture shocks, awkward moments, and one very unexpected problem—her roommate. He is sharp-tongued, frustratingly confident, and way too attractive for comfort. Every day in their shared space crackles with banter, clashes, and moments that catch her off guard.

In a city that feels unfamiliar, will this clash turn into something she never planned?

Taken By The Tribe

Taken By The Tribe

Dzenisa Jas

He placed a finger under her chin and lifted her face so she was gazing up at him.

“Please,” she sobbed. “Let me go.”

A cruel sneer graced his godlike features as he smirked down at his captive.

“Tut tut, my little girl. You’re a part of my Tribe now. You still don’t understand how this works...”

He gripped her chin and leaned down until she could feel his warmth penetrate her.

“You are mine. Forever.”

Alicia’s life is turned upside down when she’s kidnapped by the sadistic leader of a secret order, Jason Storm. At first, she wants nothing more than to escape his clutches. But what happens when she feels the pull of desire for her captor?

The Devil's Daughter

The Devil's Daughter

Ophelia Bell

I never imagined myself as a pawn in a dangerous game between two crime lords. But that was before I discovered I’m secretly one of their daughters, and suddenly I’m not just a girl, but an asset in need of protecting.

At least two of my new guard dogs are Ben and Baz, a pair of twins I grew up with—and wow, have they grown. Not only do they handle security for Drake Stavros—the sexy, haunted billionaire whose tower I’m forced to occupy for the duration of this cartel blood feud–but they’ve gotten hotter too, brooding sentinels covered in muscles and tattoos.

Drake is supposed to be using his near-limitless resources to keep me safe, with the twins there to make sure he follows through. But I’m beginning to realize the danger I’m in isn’t limited to the world outside as desires darker than my criminal bloodlines awaken within me, threatening to undo us all.

Author’s Note: “The Devil’s Daughter” is a reverse-harem romance.

But Fiona isn’t the girl he remembers. She is grown, bold, and determined to close the distance he tries so hard to keep. One look, one touch, and every rule he built begins to wobble. He wants to resist, yet her warmth keeps tugging him closer. As enemies close in and secrets rise between them, he struggles with a truth he never expected: the greatest risk may be the way she makes him feel, and the way he hopes she feels in return.
