Life is Not a Game

Life is Not a Game

Kara Verbeek

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?

Teach You, Teach Me

Teach You, Teach Me

N. Warren

Having a massive crush on your brother's best friend is so cliché, right? But what if that best friend comes back into your orbit after six years? 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?

Once the summer ends, reality looms, but their hearts and bodies can’t seem to let go of what they discovered. Friendship blurs into passion, and passion dares to feel like something more. Is this just a fleeting summer escape, or are they building something that could outlast the season?

Banging the Beasts Book 1: Banging the Beasts

C. Swallow

Colette is a gifted Healer sent somewhere most people would run from—the lair of five cursed Beasts. Once human, these powerful warriors now serve the Fey, bound to brutal rituals that keep their strength alive but threaten their sanity. Her task sounds simple: help them stay balanced, stay human… and stay under control. Easy, right? Not exactly. Each Beast carries his own storm. One is a childhood friend she thought she lost forever. Another burns with a temper sharp enough to start wars. One craves affection almost as much as trouble, while another watches from the shadows like a silent guardian. And then there is the most dangerous of them all—the one who wants nothing to do with her… or so he claims. Surrounded by claws, secrets, and tension, Colette quickly learns that healing five Beasts may be the most thrilling challenge of her life.

The Secrets of Sin

E. J. Lace

So you want to know the secrets of sin?

Mari. Marcella. Kitten. The dirty Angel of Sin… I grab the shaft of my cock as she struts into the room, white dress clinging to her curves. Her hand drifts along my shoulders, down my back, red nails tearing at my hot skin. “You’re so big,” she moans, “Please, give it to me, Beasty.”

Enter if you dare…

Book Boyfriends Wanted 1: His Curvy Friend

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.

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.

No Such Thing

No Such Thing

Tiff

There’s no such thing as fairytales. There’s no such thing as fidelity. Anything can happen at any moment. One minute you can be so happy that all you want to do is scream, and the next… you’re sitting all alone in your bedroom crying your eyes out because the one person who you thought would be there with you through anything, isn’t there anymore. I watched my mom’s heart break.

So why would I want to follow in the same fate? Why would I want to indirectly stumble right into my hearts demise? I can’t. I won’t.

Love is an illusion – There’s just no such thing.
