Good for Me

Good for Me

Sofia Jade

Rory never expected her mom’s new marriage to change everything—including giving her a stepbrother she can’t stop thinking about. Forrest is grumpy, gorgeous, and the one person she should never want. They fight the tension, but one night shatters the fragile line between them. Years later, Rory returns to town with a ring on her finger and secrets in her heart. Forrest swore he’d buried his feelings, but seeing her again proves nothing has changed. The pull between them is still fierce, still dangerous, and this time he refuses to stand back. Off-limits has never looked so tempting—and resisting might just be impossible.

My Brother's Best Friend

Tania Shava

Amelia moves to a quiet new place, ready for a fresh start and a little peace. What she does not expect is Mason, her brother’s best friend, living right there in her space—and in her thoughts. He is charming, careless, and exactly the kind of man she knows to avoid. Amelia keeps her distance, setting clear boundaries and reminding herself that some lines should never be crossed. But living under the same roof has a way of turning simple rules into complicated feelings. With every shared moment and unexpected glance, tension builds in ways she cannot ignore. As walls begin to shift, Amelia finds herself wondering if staying in control is harder than she ever imagined.

Juniper’s life fractures the moment she loses her father. Grief pulls her backward while the future rushes in fast, unfamiliar, and full of rules she never agreed to.

As Juniper learns to live in a world shaped by loss, old wounds surface and emotions blur in ways she does not expect. Comfort becomes complicated, closeness feels dangerous, and feelings arrive without permission. She tries to be strong, to be sensible, to behave. But hearts are rarely sensible, especially when longing collides with limits. How do you heal when desire refuses to stay quiet?

My Sexy Stepbrother is a Werebear

My Sexy Stepbrother is a Werebear

Kelly Lord

My sexy-ass stepbrother is going to be the death of me.

When my mom decided to marry his hillbilly dad, I was pissed.

I mean, their woodsy cabin doesn’t even have Wi-Fi. Not kidding.

But then I actually met my new stepbrother, Sam. And fuck… He’s totally hot. And into me.

Which is totally gross. Even if his abs are to die for. And his smile is amazing. And he’s good with his hands. And who am I kidding? He’s an adonis.

It’s no surprise that, after our parents’ wedding, we slipped up and ended up making out on the living room floor. Now I’m screwed. I’m addicted to his sculpted body.

And that was before I learned his furry secret.

Who would have known the beast between his legs wasn’t the only surprise in store?

Jamie is the complete opposite of Hayden. He's rude, sarcastic, and if he weren't so undeniably attractive, he'd be the last person you'd want to talk to. But aside from all this, he's the one person Hayden can't stop thinking about. And the one person Hayden can't seem to impress.

Home-Wrecking Alpha

Home-Wrecking Alpha

B. D. Vyne

“What are you doing in my forest?” he asked, glaring into the car.

My husband opened his mouth, but the man snarled at him. “Not you. Her…”

“We’re lost,” I admitted, locking eyes with the man.

For some reason, once I started looking at him, I couldn’t look away.

He leaned forward, his nostrils flaring as he inhaled my perfume. Then his eyes flashed suddenly gold.

“On the contrary, human. You’ve just been found.”

When Brooke and her sick husband stumble across a desolate forest town on a road trip, she feels strangely drawn to its leader, Slate. But Slate has a secret: He is a werewolf and her long-lost mate. Will Brooke choose loyalty to her husband, or will she fall for the home-wrecking alpha?
