Running From the Billionaire

Running From the Billionaire

Love Me Not

Love Me Not

by Vivienne Wren

Sidra doesn’t move to Australia expecting her world to spin off its axis—but one reckless, breath-stealing moment with a maddeningly gorgeous local sets her on fire. Isaac is temptation in human form: brooding, beautiful, and determined to push her away, even as sparks fly between them. His touch hums with danger, his gaze smolders with want, yet shadows cling to him like smoke. Sidra knows there’s more to him than the walls he builds—and when she uncovers the secret he’s hiding, it collides with her own grief in ways she never saw coming. Desire this raw can heal or destroy. And when love is built on scars, it might burn hotter than either of them can survive.

Surrendering to the Billionaire's Lust

by Jhenny Pink

Rue’s world cracks in a single, brutal moment, and then goes blessedly quiet. She wakes in a mansion that feels too grand to be kind, with no memory of who she was or what she lost. The man watching over her is magnetic, powerful, and very clear about one thing—she belongs here. He offers comfort wrapped in control, safety laced with desire, and answers only when he chooses. As Rue adjusts to her glittering new reality, flashes of emotion surface without explanation. Is she finally cherished, or simply claimed? Either way, the pull between them is impossible to ignore.

Luna de Verano Book 1: The Alpha’s Mate

Luna de Verano Book 1: The Alpha’s Mate

by VitaMia

Sun. Sea. Peace. That was the plan. Instead, after an accident, I save a stranger’s life and discover that werewolves actually exist. Before I can even begin to process that information properly, a ridiculously attractive Alpha informs me that I’m his fated mate. Honestly, to this day I’m still not sure what was worse: the existence of werewolves or Amaro’s personality. And if he thinks I’m going to let him boss me around just because fate supposedly decided we belong together, he’s about to get a very unpleasant surprise.

Dragon’s Melody

Dragon’s Melody

by Ophelia Bell

“You make it sound so formal,” she said. “Like I won’t actually be your sex slave.”

It was just a simple job transfer interview, but it was far from simple.

After the most mind-blowing ‘interview’ of Melody’s life, she signs a contract with a gorgeous man named Skye, who she believes isn't really human. Neither is his assistant. The sweet, blond Garen is every bit as enticing as his boss. He's even more inhumanly gorgeous and just as hungry for what Melody has to offer.

And she's supposed to work for these two?

Within the first week, everything goes south when she finds herself falling for both elusive men and their otherworldly charms. In spite of the unconventionally intimate ‘position’ she now holds, Melody never considered the possibility of love. She rejected romance for most of her life, because love was her enemy. Love left her mother wanting and left Melody nothing but loneliness for two decades.

The realization that she has to choose between two men she loves beyond all understanding sends her running scared. She refuses to choose, but the only other option is to lose them both and risk even worse heartbreak. Will she follow her heart or lose it all?

Garen and Skye follow, too consumed by love to do anything but compromise for Melody's sake. They forsake their own complicated romance in Melody’s favor, believing only one of them can have her, but she is the one who is burdened with the final choice.

Once in their embrace, she makes her choice—the choice Fate intended all along.
