The Unbroken Series Book 1: Gelasia Unbroken

S. L. Adams

Lacey Jones has her life mapped down to the last detail—classes, her spot as starting goalie on the school hockey team, and absolutely no time for dating. But plans don’t always survive reality. An ill-advised relationship with her coach quickly turns abusive, leaving her vulnerable and unsure who to trust. Then the last person she ever expected steps in: her childhood bully. He volunteers to be her bodyguard, determined to shield her from the chaos threatening to consume her—and his interest goes far beyond protection. With sparks flying and old wounds resurfacing, Lacey must decide if the boy who once tormented her might now be the man she needs. But opening her heart could mean risking everything she’s built—and herself.

Kamora wakes in a strange manor with no memory and one powerful instinct—stay hidden. But when the brooding Lord Maroke sets his gaze on her, instincts blur. He’s cold. Commanding. And oddly familiar. Every glance sparks something neither of them can explain. He should walk away. She should run. But the manor whispers secrets they can’t unhear—and together, they may hold a key to something deeper, darker, and far more dangerous than desire. As shadows close in, truths threaten to shatter them both. But when the past is missing and the heart remembers, how do you know what’s real?

Linda Kage

I don't care what my cousin says; I am not the queen of impossible relationships. I mean, just because my last boyfriend tried to kill me and left a bit of a scar on my neck, then forced me to move across the country and legally change my name to Reese Randall to escape him, does not mean-

Oh, who am I kidding? For a freshman in college, I have to have the worst dating track record ever.

It's no wonder love is the last thing on my mind when Mason Lowe enters my life. But the chemistry between us is like bam! Our connection defies logic. And he's just so freaking hot. Being around him makes me feel more alive than I've ever felt before. I even like bickering with him. He could be my soul mate...except for one teeny tiny glitch.

Bad Boy Xavier: Part 1

Jen Cooper

“We’ve all got a vice. Mine’s alcohol and punching things. What’s yours?” She asked, refusing to feel bad for her choice in extracurriculars when he had just shot someone in the head because of his. He chuckled dryly.

“Sex mostly.”

Katelynn grows up in a world of bruises, broken promises, and a father whose debts pull her deeper into danger. When a deal gone wrong hands her over to a powerful family, she braces herself for a life of fear. But Xavier, the heir who rules with fire and steel, doesn’t expect a girl who bites back instead of breaking. He’s been trained to pull the trigger without thinking, to take what he wants without asking—but with her, nothing is simple. The girl he should see as a pawn suddenly feels like a battle he doesn’t want to win. And being his captive? It’s supposed to be her worst nightmare. Yet somehow, against every rule and every scar, it feels like something far more dangerous—something she’s not sure she wants to escape.

Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day

Ophelia Bell

All we had to do was make it through the weekend. It should’ve been a breeze. A tattoo convention in Cancún with Toni Valentine, the toughest and sexiest tattoo artist in the world? It was a dream come true.

It was my chance to show her how I’d grown. I came to work for her when I was just some kid from LA and she already had a spread in Maxim and a successful video stream, but over the past three years, we’ve gotten close. And I had plans for us to get even closer.

But now my plans have changed. Now I’ve got to prove myself in a different way—by saving her from one of Mexico’s most brutal cartels.

I’d do anything for Toni, and that includes walking right into the belly of the beast. And I’m not coming back without her.

At least until she meets Hael, the sexy cowboy who works on her new ranch. Will the southern heartthrob be enough to keep Cora’s heart out in the country, or will the stresses of her new life and the mystery of her father’s will drive her back to big-city living?

At the very least, she’s got a sexy cowboy at her disposal, and she’s always wanted to take riding lessons…
