No Such Thing

No Such Thing

by Tiff

“Get in the truck, Skylar.” And yes, he’s smirking like he already won.

James Ryan has the kind of confidence that makes you want to throw a drink at him. Which is… inconvenient, because he keeps showing up with a ride, a nickname, and hands that linger one second too long.

Before James crashes her life, Skylar is just trying to survive senior-year chaos with her girls and a mom who works too much. Then James decides they’re “real friends,” parks like he owns the school, and drapes an arm around her in hallways like it’s a public service announcement. She should hate him—she does hate him—until he buys her cookie dough ice cream and looks at her like she’s the only thing in the room. And when a jealous ex starts filming humiliations, James doesn’t exactly behave… but he does step in, loudly, in front of everyone. You know that feeling when your crush becomes your problem? Yeah.

So when Skylar finally agrees to play girlfriend “for appearances,” James kisses her head and calls her “babe” on purpose. The classroom door swings open.

Nexus

Nexus

by Ophelia Bell

Kris has never been touched. He’s about to make up for lost time.

Born to a race of creatures who strictly police their presence among humans, Kris possesses a gift only one dragon in each generation may possess—a human form which requires no magic to maintain. But he has paid dearly for this gift, as it has relegated him to a life of monastic solitude, exhaustive training, and an existence devoid of even a casual touch.

His destiny has always come first, and now that he’s led a group of explorers to the dragon temple as promised, his purpose is almost fulfilled. All that remains is to ensure each one of them couples with the dragons they were meant to—and then surrender his celibacy and shed his affliction.

He has long prepared for the onslaught of rapture required to awaken the dragons’ Queen. What Kris hadn’t prepared for was falling in love, yet the moment he sets eyes on the gorgeous purple dragon awakened by the others’ trespass into the temple, that’s exactly what happens. Can she help guide Kris in the final steps of his journey, or will his desire for her and her alone serve as the distraction that brings them all to ruin?

Lillith

by Suzanna A. Levis

Her creator is a brilliant, morally questionable scientist with a flair for chaos and a dangerous fascination with power. Meanwhile, Veronica stumbles into a connection she is warned to avoid, and ignoring that warning proves wildly difficult. Jonathan, equally flawed and endlessly curious, finds himself drawn into a world where obsession feels a little too natural. As technology, desire, and ambition collide, boundaries blur and loyalties bend. In a place where control is everything, Lillith watches, learns, and begins to wonder what love, choice, and freedom really mean.

Ascend

Ascend

by Ophelia Bell

At last, the Queen awakens. Can the affections of a human male awaken the rest of the species, as well?

Corey isn’t like the other explorers who have entered the long-lost dragon temple deep in the Sumatran jungle. Whereas to his eyes, their predilections are hardly discriminate, he longs for a partner—a woman who will be his equal, who might love him as much as she challenges him.

What he’s presented with, however, is a woman who just might be his better. Racha, the Queen of Dragons, has awakened after five centuries of slumber, and she only has eyes for Corey, despite them hardly knowing one another. His reluctance to bed her delays the last and most crucial step in the ritual which will awaken the brood of dragons she rules, and though her beautiful, perfect form serves as temptation, Corey can’t bring himself to give up his preconceived notions of what love is.

The clock is ticking, and so is the time-bomb of power inside Rasha. Can she convince him to listen to his heart, or will the energy granted to her by the other couples’ unions consume them both?
