Hate Notes

Hate Notes

Zainab Sambo

A small-town florist. A superstar quarterback. A decade of hate notes that were never meant to be seen.

Iris writes hate notes the way other people breathe: privately, viciously, and just to survive the mess Jesse left behind. Then someone drags her most humiliating thoughts into the light, and overnight Iris becomes the internet's favourite new obsession, "the girl who hates the quarterback."

Jesse, now a pro football star with a talent for turning charm into armour, comes home determined to handle it. Iris would rather set her hydrangeas on fire than let him control the story again. Especially when the leaks keep coming, the spotlight gets meaner, and her life starts to catch literal heat.

With a steady, too kind ER doctor offering safety, and Jesse refusing to let her go, Iris is trapped between the man who knows her best and the one who feels like an escape. But someone in their small town is fanning the flames on purpose, and if Iris wants her future back, she'll have to risk the one thing she swore she'd never give Jesse again: the truth.

Saphira Aelin

Hollis expects nothing from life beyond her quiet village—until the Academy calls. Every 18-year-old is tested for magic, but she’s sure she’ll be sent back home. Instead, she shocks everyone: powerful, gifted, and destined for more than she ever dreamed. As secrets from her past surface and a chilling vision of blood and thunder haunts her, Hollis sets off to uncover who she really is. Magic pulses through her veins—but so do questions of love, loyalty, and a terrifying power she might not control. One thing’s clear: she can’t go back to ordinary now.

All the Wrong Signs

All the Wrong Signs

Rowan Cody

Riley is fresh from a divorce, a little lost, and dabbling in Wicca for a spark of the woman she used to be. One night, with a little too much liquid courage, she ends up with a tattoo that’s all wrong—wrong symbol, wrong magic, wrong summoning. Now she’s accidentally unleashed Blaze, a dangerously charming demon prince who’s been locked away for centuries. He’s free as long as she keeps him near… and he’s determined to make sure she does. What starts as a magical mishap turns into a battle of wits, willpower, and wicked temptation—because this demon isn’t just trouble, he’s trouble she can’t stop thinking about.

My Guardian

My Guardian

Lisa Seven

Juniper’s life fractures the moment she loses her father. Grief pulls her backward while the future rushes in fast, unfamiliar, and full of rules she never agreed to. She is placed under the care of a man tied to her father’s past, steady and watchful, offering structure when everything feels unmoored. As Juniper learns to live in a world shaped by loss, old wounds surface and emotions blur in ways she does not expect. Comfort becomes complicated, closeness feels dangerous, and feelings arrive without permission. She tries to be strong, to be sensible, to behave. But hearts are rarely sensible, especially when longing collides with limits. How do you heal when desire refuses to stay quiet?

Falling, Falling, and Fallen

Falling, Falling, and Fallen

Ahanaa Rose

His cold eyes raked my body, and I hated the tremble that went down my spine.

“Of course, I remember you,” he said, his lip curling. “I never forget a good fuck.”

Anger surged through me, and I cocked back my hand for a slap, but he caught it easily.

He smirked, thinking he’d won. But he’d forgotten about my other hand…

Which I curled into a fist. And fired into his face.

Four years ago, Lina shared a passionate night with her boss, the elusive billionaire Aaron Blackwood. But then he disappeared, leaving her to deal with the fallout. So when they meet again at a fancy gala, tempers run high. But what will he do when he discovers the two little secrets Lina kept from him all these years?

Book Boyfriends Wanted 1: His Curvy Friend

Book Boyfriends Wanted 1: His Curvy Friend

Mary E Thompson

Ian Being stuck in the friend-zone sucked. I was done. Blake had been single long enough, and if I didn’t make a move, she’d get together with the wrong man again. Because the right one was me. Luck was definitely on my side. An online dating site paired us up. It was an opportunity to show her the side of me she didn’t know. The side who wasn’t interested in a fling with half the women in town. The side who wanted something serious and lasting. With her. I thought about confessing. Telling her that I was the guy she was sharing her secrets with. But keeping my online identity a secret meant she talked to me. Really talked to me. It was worth the risk. Blake was worth any risk.

Blake Getting dumped sucked. Getting dumped because he thought I was in love with my best friend’s older brother was ludicrous. I did not have a thing for Ian. Yeah, we shared a hotel room when we went to Hawaii, but nothing happened. I mean, I walked in on him right after he got out of the shower. Water running down his chest. Hair slicked back from his face. That stormy look in his eyes. And the rock, hard… Ahem, anyway. No, I did not have a thing for him. We were friends. That was it. No one needed to know I still dreamed about what would have happened if I’d closed that door with me on the inside instead of the outside. It was never going to happen. Ever.

Veronica

When Bambi finds herself mated to a fearsome, blind alpha with a war-torn past, she must find a way to make him see beauty in the world again, before anger and pain consume him whole.

The Lost Princess

The Lost Princess

Holly Prange

He’s a wolf. A massive, fearsome wolf standing atop the ridge, his long fur whipping about him in the frenzied wind. He turns his glowing eyes to me, and I feel a shiver run down my spine.

I watch his teeth bare in a furious snarl.

I should be frightened. No, I should be terrified. But instead, a feeling of calm I haven’t experienced in years washes over me.

I stop running, my eyes glued to the wolf, now mere feet away from me.

“Hello, little mate,” says his voice in my head.

And then, with a thrill of terror, I watch the beast jump right at me, claws flashing.

When Everly is sold by her aunt to Lord Vlad Lacroix, she is forced to fight for her life in a seedy underworld of monsters thirsty for her virginal blood. Everything changes, however, the day she crosses paths with Alpha Logan. Can he save her from being sold yet again? Or is it already too late?

Black Moon Pack Book 1: Falling for Storm

Isabel S. Knight

She was pure perfection, and I couldn’t help but utter the words that I had been wanting to say since the day we met. “I love you, Amara. I love you with every fiber of my being. I will serve, protect, and stand by you even through hell. I will both live and die for you.”

Amara’s thrilled for a fresh start at Duke—full scholarship, new city, clean slate. But her plans take a wild turn when she meets Storm, the dangerously magnetic alpha who claims she’s his fated mate. Suddenly, she’s plunged into a world of secrets, power, and supernatural laws she never knew existed. She should run. Instead, she’s pulled deeper. The bond is ancient, the pull undeniable, and Storm? He’d burn the world to protect her. As passion ignites and truths unravel, Amara must decide if she’s ready to step into a destiny she never asked for.
