I take the paper my best friend Alexa shoves in my face. A picture of the Alpha of Love is printed there in color. He looks dashingly handsome, despite the things everyone knows he does. He’s desperate to find his mate, so he’s having a competition to see who will become the next Luna.

“If I do it, will you finally shut up?” I ask.

Interspecies Love Connections Book 1: Scales of Love: A Xenobiological Romance

Ms. Thunderfrost

When marine biologist Jezebel meets Zeph—a towering, serpentine alien diplomat with eyes like the ocean—she doesn’t expect her world to turn upside down. What starts as a polite offer to help him adapt to Earth’s climate soon dives into deeper waters, stirring feelings neither can quite name. As laughter mixes with longing and science tangles with something far more mysterious, Jezebel discovers that love isn’t just universal—it’s delightfully unpredictable. Their connection tests every theory she’s ever trusted, proving that sometimes the heart speaks a language all its own.

A Wild Raven

A Wild Raven

C. Swallow

My father died when I was a baby.

My mother died when I was two.

I grew up in foster care, constantly shifting between families.

I’m twenty-three now, and still moving from place to place. If there’s a ranch or a farm that needs an extra set of hands, I’m there.

But my greatest wish? To find my forever family.

The job at the Devonshire Ranch is only supposed to last through Christmas. But for the first time in my life, I don’t want to leave.

Maybe it’s the family that doesn’t treat me like an outsider. Maybe it’s the bond that’s grown between me and the horses.

Or maybe it’s Coal Wilde and his dark stare. His skin glistening in the winter sun. His warm hand on my thigh, waiting for me to ask for more.

Will this be the Christmas I get my wish?

Shades of Fire

Shades of Fire

Daphne Anders

"I stood in the wake of my destruction; satisfied, pleased but forced with an internal longing. Her. I couldn’t separate my mind from the thought of her, even in war. And I knew I was doomed, cursed with a single weakness, surrounded with longing, not even content in my violence any longer. And the Dragon of Ruin, would suffer ruin itself, by the hands of a delicate creature, with no real power except the power of desire."

King Cerion, the fearsome Dragon of Ruin, thrives on chaos and destruction. Feared by his enemies and isolated by his power, he believes he is untouchable—until an innocent princess shatters his resolve. Princess Kira’s quiet strength and unyielding compassion awaken something Cerion thought long buried: the capacity for desire and, perhaps, redemption. But as their worlds collide, Kira must navigate the dangerous line between saving a monster and becoming consumed by him. Can love tame the Dragon of Ruin, or will his fiery wrath consume them both?

Crossing the Line

But Samuel's coach sees April as a fatal distraction. To protect Samuel's dream, April walks away with a heavy secret: she is carrying his child. Five months later, as Samuel reaches the peak of his glory, will he discover that his greatest victory awaits him off the rink?

Off Limits Book 1: The One I Wasn’t Supposed to Love

Off Limits Book 1: The One I Wasn’t Supposed to Love

Anne Laura van Rooij

Lena Carter has one rule she refuses to break—Jaxon Walker is off limits. He’s her best friend’s older brother, the school’s star point guard, and the last person she should ever want. But rules have a funny way of bending when Jaxon decides he’s not going anywhere. What starts as teasing banter and sharp-tongued exchanges slowly shifts into something heavier, charged with stolen glances and moments that linger too long. Lena keeps telling herself to stay away, to stay loyal, to stay safe. Yet every interaction pulls her closer to the one person she swore she wouldn’t fall for. And when lines finally blur, she has to decide if protecting the truth is worth losing the only connection that feels real.

Between Two Goals

Between Two Goals

Ayomide Babade

Jennifer lives and breathes soccer. Every drill, every bruise, every early morning is for one goal: the championship that could unlock the future she’s been chasing for years. But pressure follows her everywhere, especially with her father coaching the underdog team and the whole town watching. Then a dangerously charming rival coach arrives and turns everything upside down. He’s bold, magnetic, and completely off-limits, yet impossible to ignore. As tension builds on and off the field, loyalty, ambition, and longing begin to collide. In a town split by pride and pressure, Jennifer faces a choice that could change more than the scoreboard. Because sometimes the hardest games aren’t played on the field, but in the heart.

Playing for Keeps

Playing for Keeps

Amber Kuhlman

Kate has built her life around staying careful, steady, and far away from anything that could break her again. Seth Tate, the town’s star quarterback, is the exact opposite—reckless, intense, and carrying a past that refuses to stay buried. When their worlds collide, neither of them is prepared for how quickly attraction turns into something deeper. But love between them is never simple. Old wounds, emotional walls, and pressures from the world around them keep pulling them apart just as they start to feel close. Kate wants to protect her heart, Seth wants to prove he’s worth the risk, and both must decide if what they feel is strong enough to survive everything working against them.

A Recipe for Love

A Recipe for Love

Evelyn Miller

Dahlia is perfectly content keeping her world simple, her focus on baking and staying out of unnecessary drama. Then Luka walks in—charming, famous, and entirely too used to getting his way. Their lives collide in the most unexpected way, leading to an agreement that feels equal parts brilliant and completely reckless. Suddenly, Dahlia is stepping into a spotlight she never asked for, playing a role that blurs faster than she can keep up. What begins as a practical arrangement soon fills with playful tension, lingering glances, and moments that feel a little too real. Because when the lines between pretend and reality start to fade, keeping things simple is no longer an option.

The Dark Noble Book 1: The Dark Noble

The Dark Noble Book 1: The Dark Noble

Naomi Obasi

Kamora wakes in a strange manor with no memory and one powerful instinct—stay hidden. But when the brooding Lord Maroke sets his gaze on her, instincts blur. He’s cold. Commanding. And oddly familiar. Every glance sparks something neither of them can explain. He should walk away. She should run. But the manor whispers secrets they can’t unhear—and together, they may hold a key to something deeper, darker, and far more dangerous than desire. As shadows close in, truths threaten to shatter them both. But when the past is missing and the heart remembers, how do you know what’s real?

The Bodyguard

The Bodyguard

Haylie Bee

Rosalie William, heiress to the William fortune, has been locked away in her house since a failed kidnapping attempt at the age of 4. Now, at 19, she's desperate to escape and go to college, to experience the real world like her peers. After much pleading, her parents finally agree under one condition: she must be escorted by a bodyguard at all times. Enter Jonathan Jones, the son of a billionaire who, due to some truly bad decisions, has found himself broke, jobless, and in dire straits. He thought that babysitting some spoiled princess would be a walk in the park, but he quickly discovers just how much of a handful she can be...and in more ways than one.
