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.

Ice beneath the skin

Albu Andreea

The smell of baked salmon and disappointment hung in the air. Celine was cutting into dead flesh. Literally. The fish on her plate had been cooked at the precise temperature where hope and flavor evaporated—and in the Ravel household, hope evaporated daily. Serena, her mother, quietly sipped from a glass of white wine, wearing the dull look of a woman who knew no decision was hers anymore. She had once been alive—now she was a fragile presence in beige dresses and measured gestures. Whatever was left of her dreams dissolved night after night into cold Chilean wine and fractured conversation. A

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.

As an FBI profiler, it's Lilah Love's job to think like a killer. And she is very good at her job. When a series of murders surface—the victims all stripped naked and shot in the head—Lilah's instincts tell her it's the work of an assassin, not a serial killer. But when the case takes her back to her hometown in the Hamptons and a mysterious but unmistakable connection to her own life, all her assumptions are shaken to the core. Thrust into a troubled past she's tried to shut the door on, Lilah's back in the town where her father is mayor, her brother is police chief, and she has an intimate history with the local crime lord's son, Kane Mendez. The two share a devastating secret, and only Kane understands Lilah's own darkest impulses. As more corpses surface, so does a series of anonymous notes to Lilah, threatening to expose her. Is the killer someone in her own circle? And is she the next target?
