Cosmic Chaos

All great stories are made great because they contain great characters who face great conflict. I often find myself wondering if that’s what my story is meant to be. I’ve got the conflict part down, but I don’t see myself as some heroine in some epic tale, but who knows…maybe I’m just the supporting character in someone else’s great story.

B. E. Harmel

Kate comes home expecting cake and candles, not chaos. One brutal night shatters everything she thought she knew about her family, dragging her into a dangerous world of secrets and lies. To survive, she’s placed under the watch of John, a relentless agent with shadows in his past and a vow to protect her at all costs. But guarding Kate isn’t as simple as it should be—the more time they spend together, the harder it becomes to keep the line between duty and desire intact. With enemies closing in and trust in short supply, survival means risk, sacrifice, and facing a temptation neither of them is prepared for. In a storm of danger, will passion save them—or destroy them?

Sahara Ashdell Book 1: Threat to Malorsty

Alyson Linker

Brooklyn grows up believing her life is meant to be small, quiet, and survivable. Orphaned and mistreated, she learns to endure rather than dream. Then the truth shatters everything she knows. She is also Sahara, heir to a hidden elven realm that thrives on magic, secrets, and strict expectations. Royal blood unlocks ancient power, but it also comes wrapped in prophecy, rules, and a future already written by others. As magic stirs and choices narrow, Sahara must decide who she is willing to become. Obedient heir or defiant force? Strength rises where fear once lived, and destiny begins to look less like a promise and more like a challenge she is ready to face.

Kingsley's Bride

Kingsley's Bride

S. S. Sahoo

"I could not breathe.

That image, Lord Kingsley’s face in the moonlight, red-streaked steel in his hand, and those cold, terrifying eyes, was burned into me.

What had I just witnessed?

Who was this man?

And what secrets did the Kingsley Estate keep buried beneath its manicured grounds and placid lake?"

Scarlett never dreams of marrying a man like Lord Darius—cold, unreadable, and carrying secrets darker than midnight. But when her sister vanishes and jilts him at the altar, Scarlett must step into her place as his bride. Now trapped in a marriage she never wanted, she can’t ignore the mysteries swirling around the Kingsley estate—or the chilling night she saw Darius with blood on his blade. With whispers of betrayal, long-buried family secrets, and a sister who may not have left by choice, Scarlett is caught in a dangerous game. Yet the more she clashes with her forbidding husband, the harder it becomes to tell where fear ends and desire begins.

Taming the Bad Boy

Taming the Bad Boy

Arri Stone

Willow’s new job at the Harper Hotel was supposed to be simple—smile, work hard, avoid trouble. But trouble comes in a dangerously handsome package named Finn. He’s the grumpy, brooding type who thinks he’s untouchable, and she’s the sharp-tongued firecracker who refuses to back down. Their banter burns hotter with every encounter, turning arguments into something neither can resist. Beneath Finn’s bad boy charm hides a man with secrets, and Willow’s not sure if she’s about to melt his walls—or get burned trying. Sparks, sass, and slow-burn chaos are on the menu, and neither of them is ready for how good it tastes.

Foolish Games

Foolish Games

Shala Mungroo

Jessie likes her quiet life exactly the way it is. No drama, no spotlight, and definitely no attention from the most popular guy at school. She keeps her head down, avoids gossip, and plans to survive college unnoticed. Then Nick walks straight into her carefully guarded world with an easy smile and far too much confidence. Everyone adores him, but Jessie isn’t impressed by charm, football trophies, or pretty blue eyes. That only seems to make Nick more determined. The more he chases her, the more Jessie realizes there’s something unexpectedly genuine beneath his golden-boy reputation. Between teasing conversations, stolen moments, and feelings neither of them planned for, Jessie starts wondering if being noticed might not be the worst thing after all.

Sofia Landeiro

Allisa has lived her whole life on the run, without really understanding why.

When Ally turns eighteen, she decides to defy his rules. But behind her father's worries hides something much bigger, something that may explain why they constantly must flee... and why someone, or something, seems to be looking for her.

The CEO

The CEO

Jessica Morel

The Scarred She-Wolf

The Scarred She-Wolf

Dakota Quinn

"They stopped me from being a monster. So should you. Kill me before the full moon or you’ll regret it."

My blood turns to ice. What the hell did they do to my mate in that facility?

Willow is back—but she’s not the same. Whatever they did to her at that medical research facility, it left scars deeper than anyone can see. She calls herself a monster. She begs to be stopped before the next full moon. But how do you kill the person you love most? Torn between trust and terror, her mate faces an impossible choice. Because Willow isn’t just fighting what was done to her—she’s fighting what she might become. The clock is ticking. The moon is rising. And the line between savior and threat is about to shatter.
