Gabby Walker

On the cusp of the end of the Napoleonic War, Alexander Montgomery, Earl of Lockwood, finds himself under pressure to secure a wife. Duty demands it—but the only woman who captures his interest refuses the idea of marriage altogether. Sophie Bennett is clever, guarded, and hiding a dangerous secret, making her as risky as she is irresistible. What begins as a distraction quickly becomes something far more perilous. As tensions rise and unseen dangers close in, Alex realizes that his growing attachment to Sophie could cost them more than reputation or scandal. In a world shaped by war, expectation, and betrayal, choosing the wrong path could cost both of them their lives.

L. S. Patel

Before Aarya Bedi was named the Lycan’s Queen, another woman pined for her king’s heart.

Bradley, the dangerous yet-sexy lycan outcast, waited decades to find his mate and steal the throne. But Savanah was in love with the man he was intent on destroying.

Casey’s Secrets

Casey’s Secrets

Ophelia Bell

I could taste the sting…

I’ve had a crush on my stepdad for half my life. But he’s always been too old and too intimidatingly good looking. Besides, what would he think if he knew the kinds of dark cravings I have?

The summer after graduation I stay out past curfew one night without realizing it.

My stepdad is a stickler for the rules, so when I go inside he’s sitting on my bed, waiting. He demands I bend over and accept punishment for breaking curfew.

I obey as if I’m under a spell. It doesn’t take long for him to figure out one of my secrets.

When I try to rise after he’s finished, he stops me. "I need you to say it out loud, Case. Did my spanking you turn you on?”

Did having my hero discipline me in the best way possible turn me on? Damn right it did.
