Chained: Las Vegas Bastards

Chained: Las Vegas Bastards

Sarah N. Fox

She swore she left the darkness behind—new name, new life, clean slate. But Vegas doesn’t forgive or forget. The city’s kings—five ruthless brothers who own every inch of its glittering chaos—just claimed her as theirs. They want answers. Control. Maybe even her surrender. Each look sparks fury, each touch blurs the line between danger and desire. She’s fought monsters before, but this time the battlefield is her own heartbeat. Because surviving the devil once was hard enough… surviving five who make her burn might be impossible.

Catch Me When I Fall

Heather Gray

Annabelle’s life has been built on lies, and she’s done letting them define her. Moving to a new city for a fresh start, she throws herself into her new job as a teacher. Then she meets sweet, six-year-old Maisie—and her infuriatingly handsome father, Sawyer. He’s overprotective, guarded, and impossible… but also impossible to ignore.

Can she break through his walls, or is she doomed to another heartbreak?

The Dark Noble Book 1: The Dark Noble

The Dark Noble Book 1: The Dark Noble

Naomi Obasi

Kamora wakes in a strange manor with no memory and one powerful instinct—stay hidden. But when the brooding Lord Maroke sets his gaze on her, instincts blur. He’s cold. Commanding. And oddly familiar. Every glance sparks something neither of them can explain. He should walk away. She should run. But the manor whispers secrets they can’t unhear—and together, they may hold a key to something deeper, darker, and far more dangerous than desire. As shadows close in, truths threaten to shatter them both. But when the past is missing and the heart remembers, how do you know what’s real?

Probed

Probed

G. M. Marks

Lucy has been abducted from her bed and subjected to dreadful extraterrestrial instruments that explore and molest her most delicate regions.

She knows nothing but fear—for the alien scientist with the shielded face and long white hair, and his little grey “helpers” with their disturbingly inquisitive fingers. Stranded in the vast emptiness of space, she has nowhere to run and no one to trust... least of all the enigmatic alien studying her.

But beneath the face shield is someone Lucy never expected.

Beautiful, intelligent and dangerously sensual, he is far more than his sterile laboratory suggests. And as fear gives way to fascination—and fascination to something neither of them can resist—scientist and subject begin an experiment of an entirely different kind.

With hearts and bodies firmly intertwined, they may discover more about their two species than any probe ever could.

Kenzo

Ivy White

Rebecca walks into the underground poker room with one goal: win enough money to pay off her father’s debts before men come to collect. She thinks she can cheat the table, read the players, and slip out unnoticed.

But the moment the door locks behind her, she realises she’s stepped into the wrong game. This isn’t just a poker ring. It’s a trap built by Kenzo Robernero, the cold, calculating leader of the Società Oscura. All of the players in the room answer to him. Each card on the table is stacked in his favor and every newcomer is watched.

Now Rebecca is caught in a room where the stakes are lethal, the rules are unwritten, and the man across the table doesn’t tolerate cheats, but he does notice them. And once Kenzo notices you, the night stops being about cards and starts being about survival.

Taken by the Alpha

Dzenisa Jas

"“Please, Your Highness,” she begs. “Let me go.”

Mercy Jones has come home. She's dreading everything about it - most of all, the questions she knows her sister and mother will ask. What she's not expecting is Eli Samson. He's tall, dark, handsome, covered in tattoos, and 100% focused on Mercy. The Devil will do anything to be with his angel.

The Marriage Bargain

The Marriage Bargain

Gallina Brindamour

Forced into a marriage meant to secure an alliance, Celia Montgomery has never known tenderness. Cast aside by her own family and treated as little more than a bargaining piece, she dreams of freedom—of a life where she is wanted, not used. But when she is sent to wed a rival laird, her hopes of escape fade into a future she never chose.

Brian Armstrong never imagined himself a husband. Duty, not desire, binds him to the bride he left behind. But when danger threatens his lands, he returns to claim the woman who is his by law—only to find a gentle, spirited wife who flinches at shadows and begs for her freedom.

What begins as obligation shifts the moment Brian sees the truth in Celia’s eyes: the loneliness she hides, the strength she doesn’t know she has, and the quiet courage that stirs something fierce in him.

But the keep holds secrets.
And someone wants Celia gone.

As threats close in and her life hangs in the balance, Brian becomes the one man she can trust. And Celia, who has never known safety, finds herself drawn to the husband she once feared.

Bound by danger and slowly entwined by affection, Celia and Brian must decide whether their marriage is merely an alliance…
or the beginning of a love powerful enough to rewrite both their destinies.

Enter Jonathan Jones, the son of a billionaire who, due to some truly bad decisions, has found himself broke, jobless, and in dire straits.
