His Little Vixen

His Little Vixen

Lulu Waters

She heads home for Thanksgiving expecting the usual—turkey, family drama, maybe a nap on the couch. What she doesn’t expect? Braxton. Her dad’s best friend. Divorced. Smoldering. And absolutely off-limits... or so she thought. She’s crushed on him for years, but now she’s not just looking—she’s taking. Sparks fly, rules break, and their secret? Too hot to hide. She’s got one goal this holiday season: turn a lifelong fantasy into a very real, very delicious reality. No more waiting. No more pretending. It’s time to go after what she wants—and she’s not taking no for an answer.

Point of No Return: Book 1

Point of No Return: Book 1

Jenny Asp

On a sun-drenched escape to Greece, Elizabeth expects family time and fresh air, not the full attention of a powerful man who always gets what he wants. Luca is magnetic, controlled, and wrapped in rumors that make sensible women step back. Elizabeth does the opposite. She resists him with sharp wit and steady resolve, even as his focus never wavers. Drawn into a glittering world where loyalty is fragile and trust is earned the hard way, Elizabeth feels the pull between her instincts and her heart. As tension rises and secrets start to surface, every choice carries weight. Desire simmers, danger circles closer, and one promise changes everything. How far can resistance go when walking away is no longer an option?

Mikayla S

I met my mate as a child.

I was lost in the woods, and his calming voice guided me to safety without ever revealing himself.

Since then, he’s watched over me but never showed himself. I yearn to touch him, to hold him.

Yet still, he lurks in the shadows, never claiming me.

I wonder if there’s something wrong with me. Am I not good enough for him?

But then, when I turn 21, I’m attacked by rogues and left for dead. As I feel the life drain from my body, a creature appears on the edge of my blurry vision.

“Stay strong, little mate. You’re mine now.”

As the mate bond surges between us, I know he’s not a wolf.

He’s something older… Darker… Deadlier.

Who the hell is my mate?

And what will happen to me now?
