The Bewitched Knights

by S. S. Sahoo

When Ace Knights threw himself into his studies at the London School of Science fourteen years ago, it was to fulfill his dreams of becoming an astronaut. But now his billionaire father, Xavier Knights, insists he put his career on hold to look after the family business while he seeks round-the globe-treatment for Ace’s mother. Enter Veronica Sullivan, the newest investor in Knights Corp and the mysterious girl who protected Ace from the bullies back in college before suddenly leaving on Prom Night. The two strive to forge a business relationship, but with so many unanswered questions about the past, the secrets they both have kept all these years threaten to tumble out. A risk that doesn’t come without costs.

Love in the District Book 1

by 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.

Trying to stay hidden, she ran for weeks, until one afternoon, starving and dehydrated, she found a small stream where she stopped for a drink. Suddenly she heard a twig snap.

A Wild Raven

A Wild Raven

by 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?

by 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.

7 Years Later

7 Years Later

by Lindsay Hope

Seven years should be enough to forget a first love, but Cassidy knows better. She builds a life that looks steady on the outside, carefully stitched together with routine and quiet resilience. Then Matteo walks back in, no warning, no mercy, and very much not alone. Now their worlds overlap in ways that feel almost unfair, where polite smiles hide old sparks and every glance carries a little too much history. Cassidy tells herself she has moved on, that she can handle this, that time has done its job. But love like theirs doesn’t fade politely. It lingers, teases, and tests every boundary she thought was solid. And as the past presses closer, she begins to wonder… can you really outgrow the one who once felt like forever?
