Stolen

Stolen

by Alexis Anneb

Eve thought her trip to Brazil would be an amazing adventure—she'd see some exotic wildlife, meet unique and awe-inspiring people, and enjoy the local cuisine. What she didn’t count on was being captured by aliens and thrown into a prison surrounded by all kinds of animals and creatures from across the universe. The thing is, she’s not the only intelligent life-form in there… just wait until she meets Ardaxur, the sexiest thing she’s ever laid eyes on.

Fighting Darius

Fighting Darius

by Nicole Riddley

“Persephone.” A tall muscular figure rises gracefully, like a shadow, in the dim light by my bed. “Why is your lipstick smeared?”

It’s him… It has been three years since I last laid eyes on him. The night he shattered my heart into a million pieces. Suddenly, here he is, standing in my bedroom, waiting for me.

Darius. Slowly, he walks up to me. He grabs my face in his hand, pulling me in. His body presses against mine.

“I smell another man on you, Persephone,” he growls.

If a Lycan resists his mate it will destroy him. When Penny finds herself at a party, hosted by the werewolf royal family, the last thing she expects is Darius Ivanovic Rykov. Gorgeous, mysterious, and ever brooding, he can’t take his eyes off of her. Will they give in to their fated bond? Or will they surrender to the darkness?

Dive deeper into the world of Gideon & Trapping Quincy, with another spicy installment in the series.

The Highland moors throw storms, curses, and merciless rivals in her way, but none compare to the Viking King of the Dragons. Dangerous. Devastating. Irresistible.

Book 1 Allie in Wonderlust

Book 1 Allie in Wonderlust

by S. K. Dingman

Allie is tired of pretending she’s satisfied. Bad dates, disappointing encounters, and endless frustration have her ready to give up on finding the spark she secretly craves. Then an unusual invitation pulls her toward a hidden world called Wonderlust, a place filled with temptation, mystery, and experiences far outside her comfort zone. Curious but cautious, Allie steps into a world where pleasure feels thrilling, dangerous, and impossible to forget. Every encounter pushes her limits while awakening parts of herself she has kept buried for far too long. But the deeper she falls into Wonderlust, the harder it becomes to separate fantasy from reality. What begins as one daring choice soon turns into a delicious journey of desire, confidence, and discovering exactly what she’s been missing all along.

Kane Mate Series Book 1: Alpha Ethan

Kane Mate Series Book 1: Alpha Ethan

by Holly Prange

A man in all black strikes down and kills one of the innocent, packless men in front of him. I make a flying leap to attack, when I’m hit with an overwhelming scent of vanilla and citrus.

"Mate!" My wolf yells in my head.

What is happening? The unknown man who had been my target spins to face me. We are mere centimeters apart and pain explodes through my stomach. I look down to find a black hilt sticking out of me and crimson spreading out around it. The man drops his hand from the dagger and I look up to meet his eyes. And then everything goes black.

Alpha Kaden

Alpha Kaden

by Midika Crane

He suddenly lurches forward, grabs my arm, and pushes me up against the wall, one hand holding my wrists above my head. The other pushes my hips against the wall.

“Don’t play me, Mara! Not when I’m seriously considering either slitting your throat or ripping your clothes off,” he hisses.

His lips are so close to mine that I feel his breath dance on my skin.

He lets go of me and pushes me into my room.

“Punishment starts tomorrow,” he growls.

Mara is not like others in her pack. She isn’t afraid of the cursed hooded alpha who lurks in the shadows. One night, however, as she sleeps soundlessly in her bed, Alpha Kaden himself kidnaps her. He drags her into a world of secrets and evil, far away from everything she’s ever known. Will Alpha Kaden turn Mara into a monster just like him? Or will she help him find the light once more?

All the Wrong Signs

All the Wrong Signs

by Rowan Cody

Riley is fresh from a divorce, a little lost, and dabbling in Wicca for a spark of the woman she used to be. One night, with a little too much liquid courage, she ends up with a tattoo that’s all wrong—wrong symbol, wrong magic, wrong summoning. Now she’s accidentally unleashed Blaze, a dangerously charming demon prince who’s been locked away for centuries. He’s free as long as she keeps him near… and he’s determined to make sure she does. What starts as a magical mishap turns into a battle of wits, willpower, and wicked temptation—because this demon isn’t just trouble, he’s trouble she can’t stop thinking about.

They chose public school and now she has to live with them.

Maybe change is a good thing. This book contains adult/mature young adult situations.

Taken By The Mafia

Taken By The Mafia

by Annie Whipple

“Good morning, bella mia.”

He brought my earlobe into his mouth. It felt incredible, but I didn't want to give him the satisfaction, so I kept my eyes shut.

“I know you’re awake, Freya,” He kissed my neck. “Not gonna open your eyes? Okay, let’s play…”

I felt him move so that he was on top of me. I instinctively spread my legs just a little so the most dangerous mafia don in the country could slide his body between them.

When Freya wakes up in an Italian villa next to a gorgeous stranger, she has no idea how she got there. As she examines the mysterious Greek god of a man next to her, she tries to remember… was he an innocent one-night stand? Or something else?

Years later, Rory returns to town with a ring on her finger and secrets in her heart. Forrest swore he’d buried his feelings, but seeing her again proves nothing has changed.
