The Ecstasy Of Faking It

Idah Zangata

Emily’s perfect world shatters when the love of her life, Charles, suddenly breaks up with her. Hurt and furious, she decides to hit back the only way she can—by fake dating the one guy Charles can’t stand: Adrian Mackey. He’s the school’s ultimate troublemaker—skips class, starts fights, and couldn’t care less what anyone thinks. At first, it’s just revenge. For Adrian, it’s a chance to mess with his rival. But the longer their act goes on, the more real it starts to feel. Between rumors, stolen glances, and unexpected sparks, Emily and Adrian might be faking their relationship… but their hearts aren’t playing along.

Summer In Our Bones

Summer In Our Bones

Briana Bennett

Jordan Maxwell shows up in sun-kissed Valencia for a family wedding expecting football, food, and maybe a few too many cousins—not the Silva twins. Gorgeous, rich, and way too sure of themselves, they’re the kind of trouble he swears he’s immune to. Except one of them—Nico—smiles, and suddenly Jordan’s pulse is doing cartwheels.

Between orange blossoms, beach parties, and late-night secrets, Valencia turns into a slow-burn battlefield of flirtation and denial. Nico is equal parts danger and delight, and Jordan can’t decide if he wants to punch him, kiss him, or both. But when sparks catch fire under the Mediterranean sun, there’s no hiding what’s real.

Because some secrets can stay buried—until love blows the lid clean off.

Black Moon Pack Book 1: Falling for Storm

Isabel S. Knight

She was pure perfection, and I couldn’t help but utter the words that I had been wanting to say since the day we met. “I love you, Amara. I love you with every fiber of my being. I will serve, protect, and stand by you even through hell. I will both live and die for you.”

Amara’s thrilled for a fresh start at Duke—full scholarship, new city, clean slate. But her plans take a wild turn when she meets Storm, the dangerously magnetic alpha who claims she’s his fated mate. Suddenly, she’s plunged into a world of secrets, power, and supernatural laws she never knew existed. She should run. Instead, she’s pulled deeper. The bond is ancient, the pull undeniable, and Storm? He’d burn the world to protect her. As passion ignites and truths unravel, Amara must decide if she’s ready to step into a destiny she never asked for.
