Windsor/Capulato Saga Book 1: We Didn't Know

Autumn Ferris

Tori thinks one wild night with a handsome stranger is nothing more than a fun memory… until she joins her new hockey team and realizes her mystery man is Adam, their biggest rival and her captain’s best friend. Now the spark they shared is impossible to forget, especially when an injury leaves her stuck recovering at his place. Tension grows, secrets slip, and every look hits harder than a slapshot. As the ice between them melts, Tori must decide what matters more: protecting her secret, or facing the truth rushing straight at her heart.

Dragon’s Melody

Dragon’s Melody

Ophelia Bell

“You make it sound so formal,” she said. “Like I won’t actually be your sex slave.”

It was just a simple job transfer interview, but it was far from simple.

After the most mind-blowing ‘interview’ of Melody’s life, she signs a contract with a gorgeous man named Skye, who she believes isn't really human. Neither is his assistant. The sweet, blond Garen is every bit as enticing as his boss. He's even more inhumanly gorgeous and just as hungry for what Melody has to offer.

And she's supposed to work for these two?

Within the first week, everything goes south when she finds herself falling for both elusive men and their otherworldly charms. In spite of the unconventionally intimate ‘position’ she now holds, Melody never considered the possibility of love. She rejected romance for most of her life, because love was her enemy. Love left her mother wanting and left Melody nothing but loneliness for two decades.

The realization that she has to choose between two men she loves beyond all understanding sends her running scared. She refuses to choose, but the only other option is to lose them both and risk even worse heartbreak. Will she follow her heart or lose it all?

Garen and Skye follow, too consumed by love to do anything but compromise for Melody's sake. They forsake their own complicated romance in Melody’s favor, believing only one of them can have her, but she is the one who is burdened with the final choice.

Once in their embrace, she makes her choice—the choice Fate intended all along.

Mile High

Mile High

Ophelia Bell

Three years ago, J.J. Santos, Jr. got himself killed—at least that’s what it said on paper. The DEA resurrected me as Mason Black, forcing me to leave behind everyone I’ve ever cared about, including an angel in blue scrubs I can’t seem to get out of my head.

Her name is Dr. Callie Nicolo, and when our paths cross again, I’m in more danger than ever before. But I’m not about to leave her behind this time. Not even if it compromises my identity and my mission.

I’m the kind of man who wants it all. I’ll find a way to pacify the warring cartels on my tail and make up for lost time with the woman of my dreams. Most importantly, I’ll protect what’s mine—the doc who saved my life in more ways than one, and the little girl waiting for me back in Mexico.

Business Casual

Business Casual

Katie Keane

After her divorce, Evie stumbles into a pub and clashes with a cocky stranger. What begins as a heated argument quickly turns into a steamy encounter that lands them both on Santa's naughty list.

But as the holiday season unfolds, unexpected encounters and familiar faces from her past bring more than just festive cheer. Is this the start of a new beginning, or will Evie's Christmas be haunted by old mistakes?

Vega Sisters 1: A Very Hot Night

JP CARAT

Unemployed, betrayed by her boyfriend, and entirely out of luck, Alessandra Vega is having the worst week of her life. Enter Domenico Santoro. Lethal, gorgeous, and emotionally unavailable, Nico is exactly the kind of distraction Alex needs to survive the night.

She leaves the morning after with her pride intact and her sights set on her new corporate job. But the universe has a sick sense of humor. Her new CEO? Nico. He doesn't do relationships, and she doesn't do office romances. But keeping things professional is going to be impossible when her new boss already knows exactly how she tastes.

The Mancini Brothers Book 1: Defending Fabrizio

The Mancini Brothers Book 1: Defending Fabrizio

Layla Knight

“We shouldn’t be speaking like this. Not when we need to be speaking about the case.”

“There’s no one here to regulate us. We can speak about whatever we want, and I’m not finished speaking about last night.”

Fabrizio Mancini is on trial for a crime he swears he didn’t commit—but the evidence says otherwise. With no murder weapon and too many unanswered questions, his powerful mafia family hires the best defense lawyer in New York: Benedetta D’Angelo. Winning this case would make her career, but there’s one problem—her dangerously charming client is keeping secrets. As Benedetta fights for the truth, Riz fights a different battle: keeping her out of his world and out of his bed. But some lines are meant to be crossed, and some temptations are impossible to resist.

Fumbled

Lynn Fair

It wasn’t supposed to mean anything.

Just one night.

Sydney Hale goes home with a stranger who’s charming, funny, and way too easy to talk to. The chemistry is instant, the sex is unforgettable—and somehow, they end up staying up half the night laughing, talking, and getting to know each other in a way that feels dangerously real.

It scares her.

So the next morning, she does what she always does when things start to matter—she leaves. No goodbye. No explanation. She moves on.

Except he doesn’t.

Carson—which was not the name he told her—can’t stop thinking about the woman who slipped through his fingers. He’s drawn to her in a way that has nothing to do with attraction and everything to do with connection. He texts. He calls. He shows up. He wants more.

Sydney wants distance.

Then she sees a headline.

A photo. A name she doesn’t recognize—until she does.

Carson Beck. The biggest, hottest quarterback in the NFL. A notorious playboy with a reputation for chewing through women and walking away without a second glance.

The realization hits hard: she didn’t just sleep with a stranger—she slept with him.

Now she’s caught between panic and disbelief. Because the man she spent the night with doesn’t match the one splashed across every sports page. And despite his reputation, Carson is still chasing her like she’s the only woman who exists.

She knows better than to fall for a quarterback who lives under stadium lights and headlines.

But Carson Beck has never wanted anything the way he wants Sydney Hale.

And this time, he refuses to fumble her twice.

Jane Anne

Eden’s summer plan is simple: no strings, no drama, just fun. After her long-term boyfriend trades her in for his secretary, she’s over pretending she’s fine. Then Leo—a smug, charming pain she swore she’d never touch—makes an offer too tempting to ignore: enemies with benefits, no emotions allowed. But the longer the heat lingers, the blurrier those lines get. Leo isn’t safe, not his grin, not his hands, not the way he looks at her like he sees everything she hides. What starts as control turns into chaos, and Eden has to face what scares her most—that real love might mean letting go of control completely.

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.

Sapir Englard

In high school, Veronica Tanner was “a stuck-up bookworm who’d never get laid in a million years”—at least, that’s what the mean girls called her. But she’s grown out of that, and now all she wants is Jax Cole, her stepbrother’s drop-dead-gorgeous best friend. Luckily for her, he wants her too, but they’ve known each other since they were kids. Wouldn’t it be weird and kinda gross? He is stupidly hot though…

The Perfect Man

The Perfect Man

Kashmira Kamat

Elsa just needs a simple solution for her high school reunion, nothing complicated, nothing emotional, just a date that gets her through the night. Hiring an escort online seems like the perfect, low-risk answer—until the night becomes unforgettable in all the wrong and right ways. Derek is older, composed, and far too good at making her forget every rule she set for herself. What starts as one arranged evening quickly turns into something Elsa cannot shake from her thoughts. But life has a wicked sense of timing, and when she discovers who he really is, her carefully built world tilts in ways she never planned for. Now every glance feels loaded, every memory a problem, and every boundary a test she never agreed to take.
