The Universe of Discretion: Snowfall

The Universe of Discretion: Snowfall

Michael BN

Snowed in. One bed. And my very off-limits hookup. It was supposed to stay casual—just a little fun on the side. But then Arthur, my secret fling and my dad’s right-hand man, gets stuck at our place during a winter storm. My dad? Oblivious. The tension? Absolutely not. The rules were clear: keep it quiet, keep it simple, definitely keep it out of the house. But with nowhere to go and the sparks only getting hotter, resisting him isn’t exactly going well.

Breath of Fate

Breath of Fate

Ophelia Bell

Dragon law is on the verge of change, but Kris has other worries. All he wants is for his mate, Issa, to survive her difficult pregnancy. He’s lost patience with the Dragon Council to help.

With the arrival of the Dragon Court and their mates comes hope. In the midst of a negotiation that will define the future of dragonkind, Kris finds salvation, but his saviors are on the verge of being banished.

Two human mates step up and offer to help, and the pair are ambrosia to his pregnant mate. Issa might see her way through the pregnancy, but will the rest of their race see its way to freedom?

The more the dragons learn, the more they realize that perhaps not even the immortal Dragon Council has a choice.

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.

Rosecliff Manor

The Master’s son is charming, the manor is beautiful, yet shadows slip into her nights and visitors arrive with questions that cut too close. Their knowing eyes hint at secrets about her—secrets tied to a scheme far bigger than she imagined. Every corner hides a hush, every glance suggests a game she hasn’t been told the rules of. As Jane is pulled deeper into the mystery, the warmth she feels in one man’s presence collides with the chill of Rosecliff’s conspiracy. What truth waits in the dark, and what ominous endgame is she destined to uncover?

He shows up to work for Nicolas Templeton, a well-known billionaire. But it turns out it isn’t Mr. Templeton he’s guarding—it’s his adult daughter. Catherine Templeton is spunky, assertive, and beautiful, but it turns out she’s also blind. Will Drake accept the job? And if he does, can he ignore the chemistry between him and Catherine?

When the Night Falls Short Story: Madame Miele

When the Night Falls Short Story: Madame Miele

Nureyluna

The taste of buttercream frosting danced along my tongue.

“Do you like that?” His husky voice made me tremble.

My hands traced their way across his broad shoulders before me. It was all I could do to nod.

“Open up,” he growled.

Opening my mouth, I felt him place something on the tip of my tongue.

I could tell what it was from at once, thanks to the spongey texture. Cake. My favorite.

“Take a bite,” he whispered.

From the ‘When The Night Falls’ universe. In the twilight of the French empire, Queen Marie Antoinette falls for a handsome baker despite her cruel husband, the king. Can they keep their love affair a secret as the fabric of society crumbles around them? Or will it be off with their heads?
