Four Lovers

by Jen Cooper

Four friends head into summer break thinking they’ve signed up for sunshine, freedom, and carefree fun. But one cabin, one bed, and three weeks together spark something none of them planned. What begins as laughter, late nights, and heat quickly stirs into something deeper—an intoxicating bond that feels both thrilling and terrifying. Once the summer ends, reality looms, but their hearts and bodies can’t seem to let go of what they discovered. Friendship blurs into passion, and passion dares to feel like something more. Is this just a fleeting summer escape, or are they building something that could outlast the season?

Fighting Darius

Fighting Darius

by Nicole Riddley

“Persephone.” A tall muscular figure rises gracefully, like a shadow, in the dim light by my bed. “Why is your lipstick smeared?”

It’s him… It has been three years since I last laid eyes on him. The night he shattered my heart into a million pieces. Suddenly, here he is, standing in my bedroom, waiting for me.

Darius. Slowly, he walks up to me. He grabs my face in his hand, pulling me in. His body presses against mine.

“I smell another man on you, Persephone,” he growls.

If a Lycan resists his mate it will destroy him. When Penny finds herself at a party, hosted by the werewolf royal family, the last thing she expects is Darius Ivanovic Rykov. Gorgeous, mysterious, and ever brooding, he can’t take his eyes off of her. Will they give in to their fated bond? Or will they surrender to the darkness?

Dive deeper into the world of Gideon & Trapping Quincy, with another spicy installment in the series.

Age Rating: 18+
