I felt his hard cock slide across my entrance.

“Theodore, please. Put it in me.” My voice was barely more than a whisper.

Sebastian stands polished, proud, and utterly convinced that letting anyone close is a losing game. One reckless lie meant to soothe his mother suddenly ties him to Sophia, a woman whose honesty hits sharper than any truth he’s dodged.

Sophia isn’t looking to fix him—she just refuses to play pretend with her own heart. As sparks turn real, old wounds rise, and both must decide if the leap toward something tender is worth the risk. Under all the heat and stubbornness, a rare balance begins to bloom.

Ice beneath the skin

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

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.

As an FBI profiler, it's Lilah Love's job to think like a killer. And she is very good at her job.

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?
