Soul Sisters

Soul Sisters

S. L. Adams

I’ve known my dad’s business partners all my life. They were there during my wild teenage years, doing their best to keep me out of trouble. Now my dad wants me to go on a month-long road trip with them—just me and three older men—to teach me the family business. But the trip isn’t just about work. When we’re not stripping down old wrecks or attending car shows, the guys plan to court me. That’s right: all three of them want to marry me—at once! And their idea of courtship isn’t serenading and poetry. They want me in their bed every night. Though I have no intention of marrying them, I am down for some steamy nights on the road. Soul Sisters is a reverse-harem, age-gap romance filled with adventure, humor, love, tears, and sizzling-hot sex.

Astonished by Willow’s untamed abilities, the king obligates her to join the Crown Trials, where she must pose as a suitor while secretly receiving training to manage her intense powers.

Love Me Not

Love Me Not

Vivienne Wren

Sidra doesn’t move to Australia expecting her world to spin off its axis—but one reckless, breath-stealing moment with a maddeningly gorgeous local sets her on fire. Isaac is temptation in human form: brooding, beautiful, and determined to push her away, even as sparks fly between them. His touch hums with danger, his gaze smolders with want, yet shadows cling to him like smoke. Sidra knows there’s more to him than the walls he builds—and when she uncovers the secret he’s hiding, it collides with her own grief in ways she never saw coming. Desire this raw can heal or destroy. And when love is built on scars, it might burn hotter than either of them can survive.

A Wild Raven

A Wild Raven

C. Swallow

My father died when I was a baby.

My mother died when I was two.

I grew up in foster care, constantly shifting between families.

I’m twenty-three now, and still moving from place to place. If there’s a ranch or a farm that needs an extra set of hands, I’m there.

But my greatest wish? To find my forever family.

The job at the Devonshire Ranch is only supposed to last through Christmas. But for the first time in my life, I don’t want to leave.

Maybe it’s the family that doesn’t treat me like an outsider. Maybe it’s the bond that’s grown between me and the horses.

Or maybe it’s Coal Wilde and his dark stare. His skin glistening in the winter sun. His warm hand on my thigh, waiting for me to ask for more.

Will this be the Christmas I get my wish?

Yet the draw of Adam is too strong to ignore. Their connection is dangerous, addictive, and far too tempting to resist. In a world of heartbreak and high stakes, one choice could ruin them—or finally set them free.
