Shades of Fire

Shades of Fire

by Daphne Anders

"I stood in the wake of my destruction; satisfied, pleased but forced with an internal longing. Her. I couldn’t separate my mind from the thought of her, even in war. And I knew I was doomed, cursed with a single weakness, surrounded with longing, not even content in my violence any longer. And the Dragon of Ruin, would suffer ruin itself, by the hands of a delicate creature, with no real power except the power of desire."

King Cerion, the fearsome Dragon of Ruin, thrives on chaos and destruction. Feared by his enemies and isolated by his power, he believes he is untouchable—until an innocent princess shatters his resolve. Princess Kira’s quiet strength and unyielding compassion awaken something Cerion thought long buried: the capacity for desire and, perhaps, redemption. But as their worlds collide, Kira must navigate the dangerous line between saving a monster and becoming consumed by him. Can love tame the Dragon of Ruin, or will his fiery wrath consume them both?

Kenzo

Kenzo

by Ivy White

Rebecca walks into the underground poker room with one goal: win enough money to pay off her father’s debts before men come to collect. She thinks she can cheat the table, read the players, and slip out unnoticed.

But the moment the door locks behind her, she realises she’s stepped into the wrong game. This isn’t just a poker ring. It’s a trap built by Kenzo Robernero, the cold, calculating leader of the Società Oscura. All of the players in the room answer to him. Each card on the table is stacked in his favor and every newcomer is watched.

Now Rebecca is caught in a room where the stakes are lethal, the rules are unwritten, and the man across the table doesn’t tolerate cheats, but he does notice them. And once Kenzo notices you, the night stops being about cards and starts being about survival.

The Sapphire Queen

The Sapphire Queen

by Silver Taurus

The Princess of the Sapphire Eyes, Amilia Vlad, is avoiding the Kings and Queens Ball, where all unmated vampires are sure to find a mate. No one knows she already has a mate, or had, because the truth is, she killed him. The reason why is a secret she has locked deep in her heart because it is too traumatizing to admit. But when her father forces her to attend the ball, she meets Vladimir Karatza, King of All Vampires, and their attraction is undeniable. He instantly claims her as his mate, but Amelia is resistant, her secrets and pain causing her monster inside to appear and drive a wedge between anyone who tries to get close. But Vladimir is determined to do anything so he can conquer her hardened heart, that is until her secrets lead him deeper into danger and reveal a past he knew nothing of, one that lays bear the power behind Amilia’s captivating sapphire eyes that, like her, he can’t resist.

Snowstorm in Vermont

by Beetee

I only meant to give myself an evening out. A chance to enjoy myself a little since my marriage had ended two years before. I never imagined I’d bump into my old boss…or that he’d look so good. The snowstorm is a great excuse to cuddle up together by the fireplace, but the heat between us has nothing to do with the flames.

My Guardian

My Guardian

by Lisa Seven

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. She is placed under the care of a man tied to her father’s past, steady and watchful, offering structure when everything feels unmoored. 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?

The Game of Obsession

The Game of Obsession

by Chantielu

Emily thought it was just a crush. A flirty smile here, a clever line there—until Damion made it a game. And with Damion, the rules are always shifting. What starts as teasing turns into something tangled and intense, pulling Emily into a spiral of reputations ruined, hearts tested, and feelings she swore she'd left behind. But forgetting him? Easier said than done. Damion plays to win, and Emily’s heart is the prize. Trouble is, she’s not playing by his rules anymore. Love, obsession, or something even more dangerous? It all depends on who breaks first.

The chemistry between them is impossible to ignore, no matter how hard they try to bury it beneath sharp suits, witty banter, and professional distance. But stolen glances quickly become dangerous temptation. In a world built on reputation, secrets travel fast, and one wrong move could ruin everything they’ve worked for. Too bad resisting each other is becoming a full-time job.
