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.

Sophie Jones

Lake St. James returns to Camp Starry Nights hoping for a clean break from heartbreak, drama, and everything that has left him questioning who he is. The camp once felt like home, a place filled with laughter, late-night talks, and the kind of memories that glow long after summer ends. But this return is anything but simple. Familiar paths lead to familiar faces, including one person Lake never expected to see again. Old feelings stir beneath quiet glances and shared spaces, turning nostalgia into something deeper and harder to ignore. As the summer unfolds, Lake finds himself navigating past wounds, present tension, and the fragile hope that maybe some stories deserve another chance.

Salem Morgan

In a crumbling manor filled with whispers and cruelty, Lyra endures life as a servant, always hungry, always overlooked. But when she stumbles upon a cursed blade, everything changes. The weapon does more than cut—it binds her to the ruthless commander who sees through every defense she hides behind. Now, every moment is edged with danger, every glance a spark that could burn her whole world down. Survival used to mean silence and obedience. But the blade tempts her toward something riskier: the dangerous thrill of being noticed, of claiming her own power, of reaching for a desire that might destroy them both.

Dragon’s Melody

Dragon’s Melody

Ophelia Bell

“You make it sound so formal,” she said. “Like I won’t actually be your sex slave.”

It was just a simple job transfer interview, but it was far from simple.

After the most mind-blowing ‘interview’ of Melody’s life, she signs a contract with a gorgeous man named Skye, who she believes isn't really human. Neither is his assistant. The sweet, blond Garen is every bit as enticing as his boss. He's even more inhumanly gorgeous and just as hungry for what Melody has to offer.

And she's supposed to work for these two?

Within the first week, everything goes south when she finds herself falling for both elusive men and their otherworldly charms. In spite of the unconventionally intimate ‘position’ she now holds, Melody never considered the possibility of love. She rejected romance for most of her life, because love was her enemy. Love left her mother wanting and left Melody nothing but loneliness for two decades.

The realization that she has to choose between two men she loves beyond all understanding sends her running scared. She refuses to choose, but the only other option is to lose them both and risk even worse heartbreak. Will she follow her heart or lose it all?

Garen and Skye follow, too consumed by love to do anything but compromise for Melody's sake. They forsake their own complicated romance in Melody’s favor, believing only one of them can have her, but she is the one who is burdened with the final choice.

Once in their embrace, she makes her choice—the choice Fate intended all along.

After her father's death, Maeve returns to her hometown with plans to sell the house and move on. An encounter with old friends leads her to the Mates Ball. Little does she know the true purpose of this ball or the dark secrets soon to be unraveled.
