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?

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?

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…

Banging the Beasts Book 1: Banging the Beasts

by 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.

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.

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.

by Sophie Jones

Lake St. James returns to Camp Starry Nights hoping for a clean break from heartbreak, drama, and everything that has left him questioning who he is.

As the summer unfolds, Lake finds himself navigating past wounds, present tension, and the fragile hope that maybe some stories deserve another chance.
