Book 1 Allie in Wonderlust

by S. K. Dingman

Allie is tired of pretending she’s satisfied. Bad dates, disappointing encounters, and endless frustration have her ready to give up on finding the spark she secretly craves. Then an unusual invitation pulls her toward a hidden world called Wonderlust, a place filled with temptation, mystery, and experiences far outside her comfort zone. Curious but cautious, Allie steps into a world where pleasure feels thrilling, dangerous, and impossible to forget. Every encounter pushes her limits while awakening parts of herself she has kept buried for far too long. But the deeper she falls into Wonderlust, the harder it becomes to separate fantasy from reality. What begins as one daring choice soon turns into a delicious journey of desire, confidence, and discovering exactly what she’s been missing all along.

Taken By The Mafia

Taken By The Mafia

by Annie Whipple

“Good morning, bella mia.”

He brought my earlobe into his mouth. It felt incredible, but I didn't want to give him the satisfaction, so I kept my eyes shut.

“I know you’re awake, Freya,” He kissed my neck. “Not gonna open your eyes? Okay, let’s play…”

I felt him move so that he was on top of me. I instinctively spread my legs just a little so the most dangerous mafia don in the country could slide his body between them.

When Freya wakes up in an Italian villa next to a gorgeous stranger, she has no idea how she got there. As she examines the mysterious Greek god of a man next to her, she tries to remember… was he an innocent one-night stand? Or something else?

Reaper's Claim

Reaper's Claim

by Simone Elise

I saw cold fury in his eyes and knew I’d gone too far.

His firm chest pressed into me, his angry heat radiating against my skin. His hands gripped the sides of my face, and then he whispered in my ear.

“If any other man touches you, I’ll kill him. I own you.”

And then his lips slammed into mine.

From the moment Abby first lays eyes on Kade Wilson, he’s as repellent to her as oil to vinegar. Nicknamed The Reaper for his brutish nature, he’s a deadly biker from a rival club. But no matter how much she tries to shake him, every attempt to sever ties ends with her tangled in his sheets, drenched in his sweat. Can Abby quit her addiction to The Reaper before he lays claim to her? Does she even want to?
