Charlotte leads a double life. Online, she is Mars: gamer, master strategist, and one of the boys. In real life, she’s too shy to utter a single word. On her team, she’s infallible. At school, she’s a freak. But a cross-country move gives her a chance to reinvent herself—until a fateful collision with her new friend’s gorgeous brother knocks her whole world off course. Will she have the courage to date football jock TJ? Or should she stick to her online love, Tony—even if he thinks she’s a boy?

And what if he's even dreamier than you remembered and presents you with a deal that you simply cannot refuse? There's a girl he wants, and he's asked you to help make her his—finally. Yeah, it sucks that the girl isn't you, but he's desperate and mouthwatering, and he'll do anything you want him to do to make you say yes...so you agree. The deal is set; you teach him to nail the girl of his dreams (literally), and he'll teach you how to pick up guys. It's simple, right? Because you both get what you want? So then, how does it go so wrong?

by Nicole Woodward

“Do you fear the darkness?”

Ella’s dreams of finally earning her wings are shattered when disaster hits her village just weeks before her coming-of-age. Then comes the Kingdom’s demand: a consort must be sent to a prince no one dares speak of — the half-Vampyr locked in whispers and shadows. Everyone expects someone to be chosen. No one expects Ella to volunteer. With nothing but instinct and a fire she can’t explain, she steps into a world of dark magic, ancient secrets, and a prince who may be more than legend. Power trembles at her fingertips, but the cost of touching it might be her heart. Or worse. In a kingdom where fate bites as hard as fangs, Ella isn’t just fighting for a crown — she’s fighting to become something more than anyone imagined.

Book Boyfriends Wanted 1: His Curvy Friend

Book Boyfriends Wanted 1: His Curvy Friend

by Mary E Thompson

Ian Being stuck in the friend-zone sucked. I was done. Blake had been single long enough, and if I didn’t make a move, she’d get together with the wrong man again. Because the right one was me. Luck was definitely on my side. An online dating site paired us up. It was an opportunity to show her the side of me she didn’t know. The side who wasn’t interested in a fling with half the women in town. The side who wanted something serious and lasting. With her. I thought about confessing. Telling her that I was the guy she was sharing her secrets with. But keeping my online identity a secret meant she talked to me. Really talked to me. It was worth the risk. Blake was worth any risk.

Blake Getting dumped sucked. Getting dumped because he thought I was in love with my best friend’s older brother was ludicrous. I did not have a thing for Ian. Yeah, we shared a hotel room when we went to Hawaii, but nothing happened. I mean, I walked in on him right after he got out of the shower. Water running down his chest. Hair slicked back from his face. That stormy look in his eyes. And the rock, hard… Ahem, anyway. No, I did not have a thing for him. We were friends. That was it. No one needed to know I still dreamed about what would have happened if I’d closed that door with me on the inside instead of the outside. It was never going to happen. Ever.

Touch

Touch

by Anna R. Bennet

I needed to get laid so bad.

It had been years, and if I’m honest, the last time was… not good.

But I lived in a small beach village managing vacation villas, so sexy eligible men didn’t exactly grow on trees. Until he showed up.

He ran a major real estate firm in the city. So, basically, he was loaded.

And I know what you’re thinking. But he wasn’t old and gross. He was in his twenties and his body… Oh, he was like Adonis reincarnated.

The moment we checked into my villa, I wanted to jump his bones.

The only problem? He was also the biggest asshole I’d ever met.

Was I totally fucked?

Moonshot

by Ronja T. Lejonhjärta

Now she’s no longer just his best friend’s little sister; she’s the woman who makes his carefully built world tilt on its axis. Zoey’s presence pulls him into a whirlwind of heart and heat, where desire feels dangerous but irresistible. Wanting her is reckless, but not wanting her feels impossible.
