Corinthe Davies

Born to opposing kingdoms, Prince Ian and Princess Sophilia were destined to unite their realms through marriage. But when tragedy tears apart their engagement, their kingdoms descend into bitterness and silence. Years later, fate forces them back into each other’s orbit. Ian has become colder, sharper, and far more dangerous than the prince she once knew. Yet beneath the resentment and painful memories, the connection between them still burns. Caught between political unrest, ancient magic, and the ghosts of their past, Ian and Sophilia must confront the truth of what tore them apart before history repeats itself.

When Serin stumbles into the realm of Ardanis, nothing feels safe—and nothing feels simple. Her brother’s life is slipping away, yet her path keeps colliding with a cold Crown Prince who stirs more fire than she dares admit. Ardanis hums with secrets, every step shadowed by riddles and half-truths, and the longer she searches for a way home, the deeper she’s drawn into its tangled web. Trust runs thin. Desire runs dangerous. And every choice carries a cost she might not be ready to pay.

Salem Morgan

In a crumbling manor filled with whispers and cruelty, Lyra endures life as a servant, always hungry, always overlooked. But when she stumbles upon a cursed blade, everything changes.

Now, every moment is edged with danger, every glance a spark that could burn her whole world down. Survival used to mean silence and obedience.

Foolish Games

Foolish Games

Shala Mungroo

Jessie likes her quiet life exactly the way it is. No drama, no spotlight, and definitely no attention from the most popular guy at school. She keeps her head down, avoids gossip, and plans to survive college unnoticed. Then Nick walks straight into her carefully guarded world with an easy smile and far too much confidence. Everyone adores him, but Jessie isn’t impressed by charm, football trophies, or pretty blue eyes. That only seems to make Nick more determined. The more he chases her, the more Jessie realizes there’s something unexpectedly genuine beneath his golden-boy reputation. Between teasing conversations, stolen moments, and feelings neither of them planned for, Jessie starts wondering if being noticed might not be the worst thing after all.

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…

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?
