Heather Teston

His body came alive with desire. Just watching her was getting him hard. He wanted her now, even more than he had four years ago…

One night of passion was all that millionaire playboy Brad wanted when he asked Cassie up to his hotel room that night. Little did he know that four years later, their paths would cross again, revealing a secret that changes everything. Forced into a situation they never thought they’d be in, Brad and Cassie must decide if one night of passion is worth the fight of a lifetime.

Taming the Bad Boy

Taming the Bad Boy

Arri Stone

Willow’s new job at the Harper Hotel was supposed to be simple—smile, work hard, avoid trouble. But trouble comes in a dangerously handsome package named Finn. He’s the grumpy, brooding type who thinks he’s untouchable, and she’s the sharp-tongued firecracker who refuses to back down. Their banter burns hotter with every encounter, turning arguments into something neither can resist. Beneath Finn’s bad boy charm hides a man with secrets, and Willow’s not sure if she’s about to melt his walls—or get burned trying. Sparks, sass, and slow-burn chaos are on the menu, and neither of them is ready for how good it tastes.

With no intention of signing away her independence, the only choice left to her is bad boy Xavier Knight—a man who couldn’t care less what she does so long as she keeps out of the press. They loathe each other, but he needs someone who can tone down his notorious image, someone who will make the executives of Knight Industries choose him as the next CEO. What he finds, though, isn’t the innocent little princess. For Angela has a secret, one that will make Xavier confront his presumptions about her and the truth of his feelings.

As secrets rise and memories stir, Ella starts to wonder if the life she’s been running from might hold the love she’s still meant to find.

Elena Ayre

As his hand drifted up my neck, he felt like a beast. "You saved my life Juliette," he said. "And now I am bound to you. It is a bond that cannot be broken until my debt is repaid. Until I fulfill your deepest desires, I cannot, and I will not, let you go.”

When Juliette pulls a warrior back from the edge of death, she never expects the price to be a bond that binds her to him. Fierce, unyielding, and impossible to ignore, he swears he won’t release her until her heart’s desire is fulfilled. But what exactly does she crave? A bond forged in fire becomes a dangerous game of power, passion, and unspoken need. Every glance is a dare, every touch a promise—and with each moment, the line between captor and protector blurs. Juliette must decide whether the bond is her cage or her key… and just how far she’s willing to let him go to give her everything she secretly longs for.
