All Your Tomorrows

All Your Tomorrows

J. Nathan

Nora was getting along just fine as a college student and part-time medium when Kyler walks into her life. He's stuck between two worlds and doesn't know why. He needs Nora's help to uncover the truth but what they discover is far more complicated. His past holds secrets and conceals lies—ones he's better off not remembering.

The more time they spend together, the more their connection grows, and it becomes clear they've come into each other's lives for a reason. Nora no longer wants Kyler to cross over, but she knows she's there to help him move on—not fall for him. A relationship between the two of them could never work anyway. He's going to disappear from this world forever, and she's going to be left to pick up the pieces of a broken heart.

But, for the first time in her life, Nora no longer views her ability as a gift. She views it as a curse with a quickly approaching end date.

Haisley thought she could outrun her past—and the billionaire who once turned her world upside down. But when her carefully kept secret starts asking questions with familiar eyes, her house of cards begins to wobble. Liam never wanted to be a father… until the truth crashes into him with one stubborn little birthmark and a twist of fate he never saw coming. Now he’s not just furious—he’s hurt. And he’s not walking away without answers. Sparks fly, truths unravel, and the past refuses to stay buried. Can Haisley protect her heart, or will Liam break it all over again… while falling harder than either of them planned?

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.

But with a sick sister needing a doctor, and his young daughter needing a mother, his hands are tied. Will these two opposites attract? Or will they go their separate ways when the year is up?

And now she was captive to the most handsome man she’d ever met, who sent such mixed signals and refused to give her back the pills she needed to combat her auditory hallucinations.

In It to Win It

Noah Ashlee

Eight years ago, I flipped the switch on my best friend and distanced myself from the only man I’ve ever loved in order to protect my heart. Now I run his company while he spends his days collecting home runs, occasionally making time for me between games and faceless woman.

I want what’s mine and I aim to take it, but if he doesn’t realize that soon, then the World Series won’t the only thing he’ll lose!

But Rina is not like anyone he has met before. She sees past the attitude, past the walls, and straight into the parts he keeps hidden. As their connection grows through late nights and quiet moments, Lucas finds himself caught between the truth and the role he is playing. Because the more he pretends, the harder it becomes to ignore what is real—and what could change everything.
