Now, the fire between them is impossible to ignore… and Harley’s about to learn just how dangerous it is to play with something you don’t understand.

Dragon’s Melody

Dragon’s Melody

by Ophelia Bell

“You make it sound so formal,” she said. “Like I won’t actually be your sex slave.”

It was just a simple job transfer interview, but it was far from simple.

After the most mind-blowing ‘interview’ of Melody’s life, she signs a contract with a gorgeous man named Skye, who she believes isn't really human. Neither is his assistant. The sweet, blond Garen is every bit as enticing as his boss. He's even more inhumanly gorgeous and just as hungry for what Melody has to offer.

And she's supposed to work for these two?

Within the first week, everything goes south when she finds herself falling for both elusive men and their otherworldly charms. In spite of the unconventionally intimate ‘position’ she now holds, Melody never considered the possibility of love. She rejected romance for most of her life, because love was her enemy. Love left her mother wanting and left Melody nothing but loneliness for two decades.

The realization that she has to choose between two men she loves beyond all understanding sends her running scared. She refuses to choose, but the only other option is to lose them both and risk even worse heartbreak. Will she follow her heart or lose it all?

Garen and Skye follow, too consumed by love to do anything but compromise for Melody's sake. They forsake their own complicated romance in Melody’s favor, believing only one of them can have her, but she is the one who is burdened with the final choice.

Once in their embrace, she makes her choice—the choice Fate intended all along.

He doesn't want a single night of passion, though: he wants forever. Yet there are forces at work and people determined to tear them apart. Even Sara turns from him, certain she's unworthy. Harrison refuses to let Sara slip away, and soon, he’s fighting the greatest battle of all.

The battle to win the heart of the woman he loves.

Savage

Savage

by Kristen Mullings

We spoke only one language. Sex.

He had me by the hair, my body taut in his other arm. I was so wet already I didn’t know if I could take it if he slid inside me.

He bent me over the desk aggressively, but that caused my libido to peak even further. I felt him massaging his hard length against my ass.

I sighed with desire. Needing him. Right here. Right now...

The Ice Beneath Us

The Ice Beneath Us

by Elara Richards

Theo Reid, the star captain of the Stormhawks Ice Hockey Team, lives for the thrill of the game—until he keeps colliding off the ice with someone just as fiery: Victoria Hales, the sharp-tongued, no-nonsense assistant coach of their biggest rival team the Thunderwolves. Sparks fly, tempers flare, and every run-in is a battle of wills… and barely contained chemistry.

What starts as banter turns into stolen moments, late-night phone calls, truths unveiled and passion that neither of them can ignore.

Theo and Tori find themselves tangled in something far deeper than rivalry. As the playoffs heat up, so does their connection. Their love story is spicy, soul-bearing, and totally off-limits… but some lines are meant to be crossed.

As much as Jamie has wanted “it” to happen with Finn, the timing has just never been right—that is, until her brother decides to get married in Las Vegas. Add loads of alcohol and years of pent-up lust, and let’s just say there may be more than one wedding this weekend!

Beloved in the Realms 1: My Demon, My Love

Beloved in the Realms 1: My Demon, My Love

by M. L. Knight

"This was a demon whose eyes had seen the wasteful horrors of war; he had been to the depths of hell and lived to tell the tale. Now it was love that was ripping him to pieces. Love was the thing that was destroying his very being."

Reve, a demon prince with battle-scarred eyes, has faced the darkest corners of hell without flinching—yet nothing has ever unraveled him like Azlyn. She’s human, bound to him by chains she never chose, and she’s far too brave for her own good. Sparks flare, tempting them both into dangerous territory neither dares name. The more they fight it, the more the heat rises, until every glance threatens to ignite a blaze they can’t control. But their world is built to keep them apart, and the price for defying it could be ruin. In a realm ruled by fear and desire, can a love like theirs burn bright enough to survive? Or will it be the fire that destroys them both?
