The Alpha's Call

The Alpha's Call

Bianca Alejandra

The full moon was high when we stepped through the last of the trees into a clearing in the forest. It shone down hard, illuminating the growing mass of naked bodies as they formed into a circle. The ritual would begin when all of our clothes were tossed into its center.

When the Mating Call begins under the full moon, Lyla follows a hair-raising howl to her true mate - Sebastian, the Royal Alpha. Will she accept her destiny as royal Luna, or will she stay loyal to her childhood sweetheart?

Kiara Colón

Bexley Evans lives for the ice, pouring everything into figure skating. For years, she’s quietly loved Michael, the charismatic captain of her university’s hockey team—until that crush costs her the unthinkable. Michael is her sister’s boyfriend, and wanting him fractures a bond Bexley never meant to break. Jeremiah Redd, Michael’s best friend and the team’s strongest defenseman, arrives from Tennessee chasing his own hockey dreams and a place on the national stage. He’s also been in love with Bexley far longer than she realizes. Caught between loyalty, ambition, and buried feelings, Jeremiah knows one truth she doesn’t yet see: she’s skating toward the wrong man—and the right one has been beside her all along.

Bloody Alpha

Bloody Alpha

Jeay S Raven

Jade: I’m an omega, the lowest ranked member of the werewolf community. I’ve learned to keep my head down and stay out of the way, beaten and broken by life. I’m as plain and bland as they come, with nothing to set me apart from the rest. I don’t dream of finding my mate. Real life is nothing like a fairytale after all. All I want to do now is keep away from dominant males. But then he comes, shattering all my walls.

Alaric: There’s an ache that gnaws at me and nothing can ever numb it. My father sent me on this tour of diplomacy in hopes that it would temper my hotheaded ways and perhaps lead me to my destined mate, who would soften my heart. But I’m the Bloody Alpha, feared and respected by all, and no one can change me. That is, until I meet her.

At the Edge of Desire

At the Edge of Desire

Ellie Sanders

Part of the Jewel in the Crown Universe

I am a rare thing. A dangerously rare thing. In a world where kings and warlords have the power to meld the air around them, I alone have the power to seduce, to beguile, to drive men incandescently mad with lust. My species has been hunted, used, and mistreated for so long that no one believes we still exist. And yet I do. When my home is destroyed, I am sold at auction as a spoil of war. No one knows what I am, what my true nature is, and I must do everything in my power to hide it. To conceal it. To keep it from them. Only my secret gets exposed, and the entire world discovers what I am. And now I am caught up in a battle of wills between a sadistic warlord and a king, who might, if I dare to hope, just be my salvation.

The Villain Origins: The Dragon And The Fae

The Villain Origins: The Dragon And The Fae

Taryn Tary

"I’ll be damned if I fall for your charms, fae…”

Ryke, the fierce king of dragons, wants blood. A faerie killed one of his own, and vengeance is all he craves. So when a faerie burning for the same revenge stumbles into his territory, he seizes her as his prisoner. Deals are struck, magic seals their fates, and suddenly enemies find themselves bound tighter than either expected.

Their every clash is fire and fury—a dance of blades, wings, and words sharp enough to cut. But hate has a way of twisting into something far more dangerous when desire sparks in its place. As danger closes in, Ryke and his unwilling captive must decide: cling to revenge, or surrender to the fate that binds them… even if love turns out to be the deadliest risk of all.

J. M. Felic

Every time I lose my virginity it’s different.

Sometimes it’s in a palace, and sometimes it’s in the dirt.

Sometimes I’m on top, and sometimes my face is buried in a pillow to muffle my screams.

Sometimes it hurts like hell, and sometimes it’s pure ecstasy.

But there’s one thing that stays the same, no matter what.

In every lifetime, you find me.

I always lose it to you...
