Boxing Day

Boxing Day

Jen Cooper

“Spread your legs, Millie.”

I couldn’t believe I was in the boxing ring with the head coach of my dad's gym. Leo was over a decade older and completely off-limits.

And he was training me in secret.

When I entered the Boxing Day tournament to save my bakery, my whole family bet against me. If my dad found out Leo was coaching me to win, he’d fire Leo and disown me forever.

Imagine what he’d do if he knew what else was going on between us.

Leo kicked my feet apart and gave me a smirk I knew was going to cause trouble. “Good girl.”

But I was starting to think a little trouble was worth it.

I Didn't Belong to You

Elfy G

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.

Desires of the Dark Forest

Desires of the Dark Forest

Anne Onymous

The Dark Forest has always whispered to her—a pull she can’t ignore. Becoming a Hunter should mean slaying the creatures hidden in its shadows, but when she steps inside, the truth feels far more dangerous. These monsters don’t run from her… they reach for her. And their touch feels less like a threat and more like a promise. Each step draws her deeper, not just into the Forest, but into a web of longing, secrets, and a hunger she can’t name. What if she wasn’t called here to kill at all? What if the Forest wants her for something far more intoxicating—and far more impossible to escape?

Aurora's Veil

Alex Fox

Seraphina Blair’s life falls apart the night her husband is murdered—but grief is only the beginning.

A dangerously charming vampire and a fiercely protective werewolf stand at her side… for now. The key to it all? A mystical orb with the power to change her fate—and maybe the world’s. But in a world built on secrets and blood, the price of truth might be higher than Seraphina is willing to pay.

Beloved in the Realms 1: My Demon, My Love

Beloved in the Realms 1: My Demon, My Love

M. L. Knight

"This was a demon whose eyes had seen the wasteful horrors of war; he had been to the depths of hell and lived to tell the tale. Now it was love that was ripping him to pieces. Love was the thing that was destroying his very being."

Reve, a demon prince with battle-scarred eyes, has faced the darkest corners of hell without flinching—yet nothing has ever unraveled him like Azlyn. 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?

The Devil's Rose

The Devil's Rose

Tina rose hunt

Lucifer lives in a world of danger, control, and carefully buried secrets, where every move comes with consequences. Rose lives in contrast, soft-spoken and untouched by his violent reality, moving through life with quiet strength and innocence that he never expected to notice. When their paths collide, nothing stays simple for long. What begins as curiosity quickly turns into something far more consuming, as protection, obsession, and desire start to blur together in ways neither of them can fully control. But in a world built on shadows, even the smallest connection can become dangerous. And Lucifer, for all his control, is about to learn that some feelings do not follow orders.
