The Hockey Player

Galatea Original

Bad Business

Bad Business

Elise Faber

I was a single dad. I didn’t have time for love.

When I found out I had a son, my life changed for the better. My kid was great. My heart, though, was not. It had been trampled, kicked around, and shredded just for good measure. Obviously, after all that, I wasn’t looking for love.

But then…came Maddie.

She was an integral part of my brother’s company—it would be bad business to start something with her.

Only, she was smart and funny and capable and…my heart didn’t feel like it was in pieces when I was with her.

It felt whole. It felt like it had always been hers. It felt like…I needed to keep her forever.

I Didn't Belong to You

Elfy G

Jamie Harrison has been in love with her brother’s best friend, Finn Campbell, since she was twelve years old. It’s a cliché, she knows, but you can’t choose who you fall for! As much as Jamie has wanted “it” to happen with Finn, the timing has just never been right—that is, until her brother decides to get married in Las Vegas. Add loads of alcohol and years of pent-up lust, and let’s just say there may be more than one wedding this weekend!

The Wolf Affliction

The Wolf Affliction

Suze Wilde

She screamed in fright, tripping over her own feet to get away from me.

“Goddess, you could wake the dead with that scream, never mind the neighborhood. What are you doing down here? Come to meet Warren?” I grabbed her arm and pulled her upright.

“I thought I was the crazy one. Now I think I’m the only sane one in this entire fucking town. I’m leaving!”

Jedson didn’t want Juno. He’d been rejected once before and vowed never to be that vulnerable again. Juno had no idea she would land in a remote area when she jumped into the boxcar to get away from her assailant. And now she was captive to the most handsome man she’d ever met, who sent such mixed signals and refused to give her back the pills she needed to combat her auditory hallucinations.

Playing Pretend

Playing Pretend

Jane Anne

Louise believes in plans, payback, and perfect timing. Love is not on the list. When a forgotten promise resurfaces in the form of Adam, her movie-star ex, Louise decides it’s finally time to even the score. A fake engagement feels like the ideal setup for public embarrassment and long-overdue closure. The problem is Adam refuses to play the villain. He’s charming, steady, and far too good at reading between the lines. As pretend moments start to feel real, old memories soften and new sparks fly. Louise must decide whether revenge still fits, or if the love that waited patiently all along deserves a rewrite.

Say It's Forever

Say It's Forever

Brittany Carter

Josie returns to the small Arkansas town she once fled, pulled back by a father running out of time and memories she never truly buried. She hopes for closure, not chaos, but home still breathes in secrets and sideways glances. Old whispers linger in the woods, hidden truths linger in locked pages, and every road leads back to the boy she tried to forget. Boone is still there, all heat and history, stirring feelings that never learned how to fade. As past and present tangle tighter, Josie realizes some hometown stories refuse to stay buried. Can love survive when the truth changes everything?

Sisters of Flame

Sisters of Flame

Ophelia Bell

A Red Dragon’s breath is all it takes for most humans to lose their minds with desire. For Erika, all she needs is to lay eyes on her lover, Geva, and she’s ready to have his babies.

Temporarily separated from the true object of her desire, Erika finds herself increasingly distracted by Rowan, Geva’s younger, more powerful, and beautiful sister. It doesn’t help that dragons are typically open with their affections, or that Rowan and her pair of mates keep inadvertently taunting Erika with their sexual rendezvous.

When Erika is finally offered a chance to fulfill her unending curiosity and longing for a deeper connection with the beautiful female Red dragon, she takes it, and not just because her lover would have wanted her to.

After an evening of deep sapphic connection, she may find more than another lover. Will Rowan be able to fulfill a need that Erika didn’t even know she had?

Stolen by the Motorcycle Club

Stolen by the Motorcycle Club

Midika Crane

This novel is a contemporary adaptation of STOLEN BY THE ALPHA.

He suddenly lurches forward, grabs my arm, and pushes me up against the wall, one hand holding my wrists above my head. The other pushes my hips against the wall.

“Don’t play me, Phoebe! Not when I’m seriously considering either slitting your throat or ripping your clothes off,” he hisses.

His lips are so close to mine that I feel his breath dance on my skin.

He lets go of me and pushes me into my room.

“Punishment starts tomorrow,” he growls.

Phoebe is not like the other people in her town. She isn’t afraid of the cursed Vengeance MC club president who lurks in the shadows. One night, however, as she sleeps soundlessly in her bed, he kidnaps her. He drags her into a world of secrets and evil, far away from everything she’s ever known. Will President Ash turn Phoebe into a monster just like him? Or will she help him find the light once more?

She’s human, bound to him by chains she never chose, and she’s far too brave for her own good. Sparks flare, tempting them both into dangerous territory neither dares name. The more they fight it, the more the heat rises, until every glance threatens to ignite a blaze they can’t control. But their world is built to keep them apart, and the price for defying it could be ruin. In a realm ruled by fear and desire, can a love like theirs burn bright enough to survive? Or will it be the fire that destroys them both?
