As old truths unravel and Reyna’s loyalty is put to the test, she’s torn between duty and a bond that refuses to break.

At the Edge of Desire

by Ellie Sanders

Part of the Jewel in the Crown Universe

I am a rare thing. A dangerously rare thing. In a world where kings and warlords have the power to meld the air around them, I alone have the power to seduce, to beguile, to drive men incandescently mad with lust. My species has been hunted, used, and mistreated for so long that no one believes we still exist. And yet I do. When my home is destroyed, I am sold at auction as a spoil of war. No one knows what I am, what my true nature is, and I must do everything in my power to hide it. To conceal it. To keep it from them. Only my secret gets exposed, and the entire world discovers what I am. And now I am caught up in a battle of wills between a sadistic warlord and a king, who might, if I dare to hope, just be my salvation.

As their world closes in, she rises with fire of her own, ready to claim her place instead of being claimed.

Foolish Games

Foolish Games

by 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.

Thirst, humor, and a spark that won’t quit draw them closer, but trust isn’t given freely. Can Mara let herself be caught, or will her walls keep love and danger at bay forever?

Kingsley's Bride

Kingsley's Bride

by 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.
