Iris’s life explodes in chaos when deadly creatures rip away the only family she’s ever known. Before she can catch her breath, a magnetic elf prince sweeps her into Antaris—a dazzling, dangerous world she never knew existed, yet somehow belongs to. With her past shrouded in mystery and shadows stalking her every move, Iris must untangle the secrets buried in her own blood. The deeper she falls into this realm of magic and peril, the clearer it becomes: the power inside her could save everything… or destroy it. And the clock is ticking.

His life is empty, his path uncertain, until he finds Emmaline—a Fire Fae, last of her kind, hunted to extinction and erased from memory. Duty whispers that delivering her to his family could restore everything he lost: his name, his throne, his power. But desire burns hotter than obligation. As his heart betrays his plans, Toraval must choose between reclaiming a crown or protecting the woman he never expected to love, in a world where love is the ultimate rebellion.

With an Evil Queen pulling strings from the shadows, Ellie becomes more than prey—she’s the spark that just might shatter Snowred’s curse… or break them both in the process. Sweet meets savage, and fire meets frost, as their love burns and bruises in equal measure. One wants freedom. One wants peace. The Queen wants them broken. But fate may have other ideas. Welcome to the forest. Nothing here is safe—not even love.

Owned by the Alphas Prequel: Choosing the Alpha

Owned by the Alphas Prequel: Choosing the Alpha

Jen Cooper

"That's the point of being an alpha. I shouldn't need protecting." But as I looked at all three of them, I knew they'd tear apart anyone who tried to harm me—even each other.

Kassandra spent five years as a prisoner of vampires, hiding her siren voice. When three powerful werewolf alphas claim her during a blood moon ritual, she discovers her voice might be the key to saving them all. But choosing just one alpha seems impossible when she's falling for all three.

Enter Greg, the town’s charming PE teacher with a messy past and zero intention of getting attached. When sparks fly between lesson plans and laughter, both find themselves wondering if second chances might be real after all. With a dash of small-town gossip, a sprinkle of hope, and a whole lot of heart, Morgan and Greg discover that love doesn’t just mend what’s broken—it builds something brand new.

The Palindromes Book 1: Palindrome

Morgana Ville

Hannah is the last witch left guarding her small town, and she knows better than to trust a stranger with pale blue eyes and secrets carved into his every move.

As darkness creeps closer, Hannah faces an impossible choice: hold onto centuries of hate or risk everything for a love that was never meant to be. The pull between them is dangerous, undeniable, and utterly intoxicating. And when the truth shatters the fragile line between duty and desire, Hannah must decide if she’s willing to lose herself… in order to save everyone else.

Wild Wild Witch Spinoff - The Good, the Bad, and the Eerie

Cherry Redwood

In this spinoff of Wild Wild Witch, Linda Mae Walley survived the Hell Gate demon battle that killed her father—but the townsfolk of Copperwood wish she hadn’t. Ostracized as one of the “cursed” possessed, she’s banned from shops, condemned by the pastor, and ignored by Sheriff Richard Leland, the man she’s secretly loved since childhood.

After discovering her own witch powers while saving Richard from a wolf attack—only to be met with his horror and rejection—Linda devises a dangerous plan: she will impersonate the Erlking’s Daughter, a demon from the forest, and attack the church with green-fire fireworks, uniting the town against a common enemy.

The deception works, but the real Erlking’s Daughter retaliates. As chaos engulfs Copperwood, Linda is captured by the Erlking himself, who offers her a choice: become his queen, or fight to save the town that despises her.

Savage Remains: What Remains Between Us

Savage Remains: What Remains Between Us

Kristen Mullings

Roman’s lips hovered over mine, so close it hurt, his voice rough as gravel.

“Not yet,” he whispered. “You’ll break for me in the next breath.”

Sage swore she was done with Roman—the lies, the heartbreak, the fire that never really went out. But when fate pulls them back together, the tension between them is electric, dangerous, impossible to ignore. Roman wants redemption; Sage wants the truth. Every touch feels like a promise, every argument like a dare. He’s determined to prove he’s changed, but old wounds don’t heal easily, and temptation has a way of blurring the lines between forgiveness and surrender. Between tense dinners, sharp words, and stolen kisses, they find themselves asking the one question neither can escape—can you ever really love someone who once broke you?

The Cursed Mate

Kelsie Tate

After a war between humans and wolf shifters, the human survivors have been forced into hiding or been taken as slaves by the ferocious wolf packs. Raised in a hidden colony in Idaho, Elena dreams of escaping her callous father and fleeing to the coast. She is enslaved by White Dawn Pack, however. A chance encounter with the pack’s handsome alpha, Colt, makes him believe that Elena is the mate he has been waiting for since his previous mate was killed. Elena is skeptical, so Colt vows to get to the bottom of his seemingly impossible desires and the pair begin to form a deep bond that will test the loyalty of his pack.

Mate's Pleasure

Shanti Aventurin

They say that being rejected by your true mate is the most painful thing a wolf can experience. Well, Scarlett Henry has been rejected twice, and both times sucked about as much as you’d expect. But when you’ve gone through that kind of pain, what else is there to do but embrace it and make it your own?

Breath of Love

Breath of Love

Ophelia Bell

The third ritual awaits. But are twin lovers double the pleasure, or double the trouble?

After losing his twin brother, Dimitri has felt adrift in the world. Joining this expedition to find an elusive dragon temple seemed a far-fetched fantasy, but a much-needed distraction nonetheless. Little did he know that the real fantasy was waiting for him inside. Now, doused in dragon magic, his passions have been stoked, and the naughty details of the ritual he keeps hearing about lure him into a chamber where he’s faced with an impossible choice.

Two golden idols stand ready for his attention, each embodying half of Dimitri’s most intimate desires. Together, they form a whole—one he has been searching for even more desperately than he has this ancient locale.

The terms of the ritual dictate he can only choose one. Breaking the rules might lead to his downfall … or to an ascension into pleasure beyond his wildest dreams.

Balance

Balance

FouFou16

Sebastian stands polished, proud, and utterly convinced that letting anyone close is a losing game. One reckless lie meant to soothe his mother suddenly ties him to Sophia, a woman whose honesty hits sharper than any truth he’s dodged. Their fake relationship starts as a simple plan, but every shared moment knocks another crack into his perfect armor. Sophia isn’t looking to fix him—she just refuses to play pretend with her own heart. As sparks turn real, old wounds rise, and both must decide if the leap toward something tender is worth the risk. Under all the heat and stubbornness, a rare balance begins to bloom.
