Running from the Mate Bond Book 1: Ella

Running from the Mate Bond Book 1: Ella

Eleanor Moon

His rejection cuts deeper than any blade, but I know what I must do. “I, Ella of the Blue Moon Pack,” I whisper, my voice breaking, “accept your rejection.”

Ella never expected to be mated to Connor, the Alpha of her pack, not when he's already found his perfect Luna. Entangled in a whirlwind of love, betrayal, and survival, she finds herself running for her life. But the mate bond isn’t finished with her yet. When the Rogue King rises, and Connor drags her back to his war-torn pack, Ella must decide whether she can forgive, heal, and step into the role fate demands of her.

The Winter Court Series: The Fae's Captive

M. L. Smith

Seri has spent her life hiding in plain sight—a half-human servant with royal blood she dares never reveal. But when ruthless King Cazimir takes her across the border, her secret becomes a dangerous weapon. His cursed lands are dying, and only she can break the spell… if he doesn’t break her first. He sees her as a pawn, yet fate has marked her as something far more intimate: his fated mate. Desire coils between them, fierce and treacherous, pulling her toward a man who could either save her or ruin her completely. The closer she gets to him, the more the line between captor and protector blurs—and resisting him may be the hardest battle of all.

The Outcasts 1: The Roommate

The Outcasts 1: The Roommate

Ruth Robinson

When Sam posted an advert for a roommate he was hoping at best he'd find someone who would pay half the rent and occasionally wash the dishes.

Manjari

Her: The fat girl nervously starting her senior year at a new school.

Him: The brooding football jock who takes the seat next to her.

“What are you looking at, Piggy?”

The Hybrid Trials Book 1

The Hybrid Trials Book 1

Jen Cooper

Mackenzie agreed to the trial out of desperation. The $50K was worth the risk—even if the drug could kill her.

The scientists said the pheromone created raw, uncontrollable lust. She’d be sealed in with a stranger for 12 weeks.

She thought she was ready.

Until HE walked in.

The Alpha who left her broken years ago. Who rejected her from the pack for being a hybrid. He was as dangerous as she remembered.

But his eyes had a brand new blaze of heat. “Looks like fate’s got a twisted sense of humor.”

Study Buddy Part 1

Study Buddy Part 1

Jen Cooper

Amelia Parker is quiet, cautious, and completely unprepared for college parties—or people. But a promise to her late twin sends her straight into chaos... and into the orbit of Zeke Evans. He’s loud, hot, and perpetually one missed grade away from losing his scholarship. They strike a deal: he’ll be her guide to college life, and she’ll be his tutor. But what starts as tutoring turns into teasing, late-night texts, and unexpected lessons in way more than chemistry. Amelia may be inexperienced, but she’s no pushover. And Zeke? He might just be learning something new—like what it feels like when one girl flips your whole game.

Stockholm Syndrome

Stockholm Syndrome

Vivienne Wren

“You’re looking for good in a bad man. That’s a dangerous thing to do.”

Zara is trapped, tied, and desperate to escape. The men holding her are ruthless, but it’s their leader who unsettles her most. He’s sharp, cold, unreadable—and the only one she can’t look away from. Every stolen glance chips at her resolve, every dangerous word pulls her deeper into the storm. She knows it’s reckless to search for softness in someone built of shadows, but her heart won’t listen. The lines between fear and longing blur until she can’t tell where danger ends and desire begins. Survival demands distance, yet every moment close to him feels like a secret she’s not ready to give up. Is she falling for her captor—or is she just losing herself?

Reed's Sex Academy

Reed's Sex Academy

Rhea Harp

Why do I want this job? Because my sister is in foster care. Because I’m broke and can’t find a decent-paying job. And because I’m seriously on the verge of a breakdown if things don’t start looking up soon.

Mr. Reed opens my eyes, and my body, to the unspoken world of the Academy. I’m powerless to deny him anything. He owns me, and he knows it.

But someone else knows. Someone determined to take both of us down.

Will I survive long enough to get out with my heart intact?

Dirty Money Book 1: The Million Dollar Virgin

Dirty Money Book 1: The Million Dollar Virgin

Rebekah Halt

Sloane Heathrow was never supposed to apply. It was a joke — a late-night click on a dark web ad offering one million dollars for one virgin. But when a black-and-gold email lands in her inbox with an interview time and location, the joke stops being funny. The offer is real. The contract is binding. And the men behind it are hidden, impossibly wealthy, and completely untouchable. Suddenly, Sloane is pulled into a world built on luxury, secrecy, and control, where every rule is carefully designed to keep her in line. What begins as a bold decision quickly becomes something far more dangerous as boundaries blur, emotions deepen, and the arrangement becomes harder to escape than she ever expected.

Thirty days.

Three men.

One secret she can never tell.

Practice, Not Perfect

Practice, Not Perfect

Jane Anne

Kate’s got two weeks to fake being a hockey superfan—and she’s already skating on thin ice. When her harmless crush on star player Grady spirals into a big, fat lie, she turns to his rival, the grumpy and irresistible Carver Reed, for help. Their deal? Pretend to date and save his rep while she learns the rules of the game. Easy… right? But between late-night practices, sharp banter, and one too many “accidental” touches, the line between fake and real starts to blur fast. With secrets, sparks, and power plays flying, Kate’s about to learn that the hardest part of hockey isn’t the ice—it’s keeping her heart from slipping.

After an unimaginable tragedy left her mate dead when she was only eighteen, she’s spent years enduring the annual Claiming Ceremony, where wolves seek to find their fated mates. This year, with no chosen mate by her side, the Beast Council delivers an ultimatum: if Celina isn’t claimed, a mate will be appointed for her, like it or not. Caught between duty, desire, and her own strength, Celina must navigate a world that seeks to control her fate. A thrilling story of power, resilience, and forbidden romance awaits.

“What are you willing to do to get what you want, Ms. Hart?”

I looked up at him, those stormy grey eyes devoid of emotion. My heart pounded in my chest, my throat dry with fear. He was offering me everything I needed so desperately. But what would it cost me?

“I won’t ask again.”

I closed my eyes and signed away my soul to the most dangerous man in England.

“Anything.”

Mason Campbell is cold, hard, and unapologetic. He’s envied by men and wanted by women. Lauren Hart has just landed a job as his assistant and is constantly on the receiving end of his hatred. Unfortunately, Mason doesn’t have eyes for anyone but Lauren and is about to make her an offer she can’t refuse.
