At school, she’s a freak. But a cross-country move gives her a chance to reinvent herself—until a fateful collision with her new friend’s gorgeous brother knocks her whole world off course. Will she have the courage to date football jock TJ? Or should she stick to her online love, Tony—even if he thinks she’s a boy?

Unfortunate Friends 1: My Best Frenemy

by Ruth Robinson

I hated AJ McGabe.

He was my school’s quarterback, and the other girls treated him like Adonis reborn.

Ngl, he was hot as fuck. But he despised me, and the feeling was so mutual.

The only bright spot for Senior year was that my best friend, Jake, was starting at my school.

And it turned out he already had a friend from football camp here. This guy, Andy.

Jake said the three of us would be spending a lot of time together this semester.

But on the first day of school, I got a nasty surprise when he brought me to meet this Andy guy.

Turns out it was AJ. Fucking. McGabe.

That’s right. My best friend was buddies with my sexy nemesis himself.

Fuck. It was going to be a long semester…

The Awakening Series

The Awakening Series

by L. T. Marshall

It was pain unlike anything I’d ever experienced.

My bones broke. From deep within, my wolf tore to the surface.

I lay there, shivering on the damp grass, still sore from my first-ever shift.

And then the voice I dreaded spoke in my mind.

Deep and sexy, with a hint of a Colombian accent.

The voice of the pack alpha.

“Mate.”

Orphaned in the Great War, Alora was destined for a hard life at the feet of her pack’s feared alpha, Colton Santos. But at her wolf’s awakening ceremony on her 18th birthday, she’s shocked to feel the mate bond for none other than the mysterious alpha himself.
