Shifting Greer's Book 1

Shifting Greer's Book 1

K. D. Cartiff

Two months ago, Greer had everything—a sharp wit, confidence to burn, and a life that fit perfectly. Now she’s hiding under a new name, in a new town, with nothing but a pair of glasses and a list of lies to keep her safe. Witness Protection was supposed to erase the night she lost her parents, but danger doesn’t fade that easily. When Kaleb starts asking the wrong questions, the world Greer built begins to crack. The past she’s desperate to bury is clawing its way back, and the shadows she ran from might be closer than ever. Can she stay hidden when her heart refuses to?

Love in the District Book 1

Love in the District Book 1

Sofia Jade

Hannah thought she’d left her past with Wesley behind—or at least learned how to look away. That worked while an ocean separated them. Returning to Washington, DC is supposed to be simple: choose a wedding venue, marry her handsome surgeon fiancé, and close the door on everything she ran from. Instead, she collides with Wesley—her ex, her first love, the heartbreak she never healed. Now a firefighter marked by heat and scars, he’s impossible to ignore. Hannah may have forgotten how much he once meant to her, but Wesley remembers everything, and the past isn’t done with either of them yet.

CC Adele

Ashton lives fast and rides hard. Love is a distant memory, at least until the thrill of the ride isn’t enough to fill the Sydnee-sized void in his chest. She is off-limits in every way that matters, yet impossible to ignore—all sharp edges and a strength that demands notice. But when trauma strikes, it drives the forgiveness they both desperately seek. As shadows continue to creep in, they are pulled into a dangerous game neither of them signed up for. Secrets deepen, trust gets tested, and every choice feels heavier than the last. Ashton and Sydnee must face more than just their pasts. Because sometimes the biggest risk is not the danger around you… it’s the person standing right in front of you.

A Wild Raven

A Wild Raven

C. Swallow

My father died when I was a baby.

My mother died when I was two.

I grew up in foster care, constantly shifting between families.

I’m twenty-three now, and still moving from place to place. If there’s a ranch or a farm that needs an extra set of hands, I’m there.

But my greatest wish? To find my forever family.

The job at the Devonshire Ranch is only supposed to last through Christmas. But for the first time in my life, I don’t want to leave.

Maybe it’s the family that doesn’t treat me like an outsider. Maybe it’s the bond that’s grown between me and the horses.

Or maybe it’s Coal Wilde and his dark stare. His skin glistening in the winter sun. His warm hand on my thigh, waiting for me to ask for more.

Will this be the Christmas I get my wish?

Discovering she has been fated to two mates is not something she can easily reconcile thanks to her upbringing.

The Devil's Daughter

The Devil's Daughter

Ophelia Bell

I never imagined myself as a pawn in a dangerous game between two crime lords. But that was before I discovered I’m secretly one of their daughters, and suddenly I’m not just a girl, but an asset in need of protecting.

At least two of my new guard dogs are Ben and Baz, a pair of twins I grew up with—and wow, have they grown. Not only do they handle security for Drake Stavros—the sexy, haunted billionaire whose tower I’m forced to occupy for the duration of this cartel blood feud–but they’ve gotten hotter too, brooding sentinels covered in muscles and tattoos.

Drake is supposed to be using his near-limitless resources to keep me safe, with the twins there to make sure he follows through. But I’m beginning to realize the danger I’m in isn’t limited to the world outside as desires darker than my criminal bloodlines awaken within me, threatening to undo us all.

Author’s Note: “The Devil’s Daughter” is a reverse-harem romance.
