Wanting the Man

Wanting the Man

Maree O'Brien

Andrea has spent most of her life focusing on her future. She was a straight-A student in school, and has never partied or done anything to shame herself or her family. Now she’s one of the most ambitious accountants working for the brilliant CEO Josh Wood. Everything is going as planned—until someone leaks NSFW pictures of her in the CEO’s office during the staff Christmas party. She has no memory of the night, though. It can’t be her, but how does she convince her boss of this?

Snowstorm in Vermont

Snowstorm in Vermont

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.

Sharing Delilah

Sharing Delilah

Alex Fox

Delilah has spent her entire life searching for her mate, which is ironic because as a witch her duty is to help werewolves find their mate. Now she’s trying to help two alpha brothers find their luna. Except the magic says that it’s her, and she belongs to ~both~ of them!

At the Edge of Desire

At the Edge of Desire

Ellie Sanders

Part of the Jewel in the Crown Universe

I am a rare thing. A dangerously rare thing. In a world where kings and warlords have the power to meld the air around them, I alone have the power to seduce, to beguile, to drive men incandescently mad with lust. My species has been hunted, used, and mistreated for so long that no one believes we still exist. And yet I do. When my home is destroyed, I am sold at auction as a spoil of war. No one knows what I am, what my true nature is, and I must do everything in my power to hide it. To conceal it. To keep it from them. Only my secret gets exposed, and the entire world discovers what I am. And now I am caught up in a battle of wills between a sadistic warlord and a king, who might, if I dare to hope, just be my salvation.

The Trials of the Crown

The Trials of the Crown

Bianca Alejandra

Penelope Tate never asked to be part of the Game of Crowns. One minute she’s sweeping ashes, the next she’s tossed into a dazzling, dangerous competition for a throne she never wanted. Every young citizen must compete. Allies turn enemies, suitors have sharp smiles, and ancient powers are waking beneath the surface. As Penelope battles through palace trials and simmering secrets, one truth becomes clear—if she wants to survive, she can’t just play the game. She’ll have to outwit it. And maybe lose her heart along the way.

The Villain Origins: The Dragon And The Fae

The Villain Origins: The Dragon And The Fae

Taryn Tary

"I’ll be damned if I fall for your charms, fae…”

Ryke, the fierce king of dragons, wants blood. A faerie killed one of his own, and vengeance is all he craves. So when a faerie burning for the same revenge stumbles into his territory, he seizes her as his prisoner. Deals are struck, magic seals their fates, and suddenly enemies find themselves bound tighter than either expected.

Their every clash is fire and fury—a dance of blades, wings, and words sharp enough to cut. But hate has a way of twisting into something far more dangerous when desire sparks in its place. As danger closes in, Ryke and his unwilling captive must decide: cling to revenge, or surrender to the fate that binds them… even if love turns out to be the deadliest risk of all.

Meeting Him in Between

Meeting Him in Between

Cristina C.

"Your body tells me you want me as much as I want you," he said seductively.

A sigh escaped my lips as Jeremy's hand grazed my cheek. "I want to get to know you, Laurie. You intrigue me. I want to see the woman behind this mask," he said, his voice almost pleading before he quickly regained his composure.

Laurie winds up having a sexy encounter with a man at a party, only to meet him again at a job interview. She’s determined not to work for him, but it looks like she does not have another option. “You will work for me, little kitten.”

Alpha of the Millennium

Their attention is intense, consuming, and far too focused on her. She refuses to be treated like a prize, yet their pull wraps around her with a heat she can’t quite shake. Each king brings a different kind of danger, and together they push her toward a fate she never asked for. But Marla is no quiet plaything. As their world closes in, she rises with fire of her own, ready to claim her place instead of being claimed.

A For Anonymous

Blackthorne Academy looms over the glittering Riviera—a kingdom of wealth, ambition, and whispered scandal. A scholarship student arrives with one rule: stay invisible. It almost works… until the school’s notorious golden boy sets his sights on her. He’s charming, relentless, and used to getting what he wants. She’s hiding secrets that could crack Blackthorne’s polished façade. Curiosity turns to banter, banter to heat, and soon every glance feels like a dare. In a place where rumors spread like wildfire, wanting him is dangerous—and being known could be devastating. Because at Blackthorne, the truth is power… and some secrets won’t stay buried.

When they set their sights on Eve, the “game” becomes a storm of tests, temptations, and tangled emotions she never sees coming. Yet beneath their sharp edges lie wounds as deep as her own. As secrets tighten around them, Eve must choose whether to resist their pull… or surrender to the fire it sparks.

Elfy G

“If you think I’m going to let you walk in here like a free agent, you’re hardly mistaken,” Owen says, looking down at me.
