Desperate

Sapir Englard

In high school, Veronica Tanner was “a stuck-up bookworm who’d never get laid in a million years”—at least, that’s what the mean girls called her. But she’s grown out of that, and now all she wants is Jax Cole, her stepbrother’s drop-dead-gorgeous best friend. Luckily for her, he wants her too, but they’ve known each other since they were kids. Wouldn’t it be weird and kinda gross? He is stupidly hot though…

But one accident humiliates Bryce, the untouchable heir at the top, and suddenly the Rank isn’t just a game—it’s a spotlight that could ruin her. As the system shifts and dangers rise, Claire and Bryce are forced to work together, testing boundaries, trust, and a spark that shouldn’t exist. In a school built to crush dreams, can love survive the scoreboard?

“If I do it, will you finally shut up?” I ask.

The Game of Obsession

The Game of Obsession

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 Half Blood

The Half Blood

Laura B.L.

Two shadowy figures walked toward each other, their gazes locked. With every step they took, they became more clear, the orange light flickering off of their almost-naked bodies. From where I stood, only their faces remained hidden.

The second they touched, my body lit up. As the man’s hands circled the woman’s hips, I felt his fingers dig into my own body. As he kissed her neck, I felt his lips against my skin, all the way down to my collarbone and back up to my ear lobe. His face was buried in her neck, hers was visible now. She had the very same blue eyes I had been looking at in the mirror my whole life. The woman in the vision was me…

When Nala, a half-witch half-werewolf hybrid, visits the Royal Lycan Realm, the last thing she expects to do is take part in the annual Hunt, an ancient mating ritual cherished by the Lycan King himself. Now she’s running through the forest, and King Alaric is gaining on her. Will she keep running forever? Or will she let him catch her and become his Queen?

She’s bright, fearless, and absolutely off-limits… because she’s his best friend’s sister. The more time they steal, the harder it becomes to pretend it’s nothing. One wrong move could destroy the friendship he trusts most, but walking away from Carlee feels just as impossible. Between locker-room pressure, big ambitions, and a connection that won’t stay hidden, Holden must decide what he’s willing to risk for one feeling he can’t bench.

But the longer she’s trapped in his shadow, the more cracks she sees in his armor—and the more her fear starts to burn into something she can’t name. Desire. Defiance. Dangerous tenderness.

Stella is bold, spirited, and used to getting her way, which makes every conversation between them spark with playful tension. Farm life suddenly feels different with him around.

Alpha Loren

Alpha Loren

Elle A.H.

“You appear to be in my territory, little wolf.” He is exceedingly beautiful, but his expression chills me to the core.

“You’re coming home with me.” His eyes so mesmerizing, so powerful. He pulls me into him, pinning me against his chest, an arm tight around my throat.

“You will submit and obey or there will be punishments,” he says, kissing the side of my head. His scent reeks of power. “Who am I, little one? Say it,” he commands. His lips curl into a smile, confirming my fears. “That’s right,” he growls. “I am Alpha Loren.”

Ophelia Bell

An ancient temple. Seven explorers. And eight dragons to rule them all.

When Erika and her team of archaeologists break the seal on the temple they’ve been hunting, they unwittingly take the first step in a series of rituals designed to revive the long-sleeping denizens inside. Now, with every breath they take, they inhale air steeped in dragon magic—and perfumed with otherworldly, irresistible desire.

Erika wants nothing more than to prove she’s still in control. But when she sets her sights on the figure she is meant to awaken—a red dragon bound in the form of a beautiful man frozen in jade—her resolve is truly put to the test.

And that’s when the ambitious, pent-up expedition leader begins to think: Maybe losing control wouldn’t be so bad, after all…
