The Boss Takes A Wife Book 1

The Boss Takes A Wife Book 1

by Heather Teston

"If you want to keep your job and save the others, I have a proposition that will benefit both of us," he said as he towered over her.

Gabriel Maestri is rich, ruthless, and terrifyingly untouchable—the kind of man whispered about in fear. They call him the Demon of Italy, and he lives up to the name. Paige Mosley is everything he’s not: kind, innocent, and determined to save her job—and the others—when she hears the hotel may shut down. Her plan? Make a deal with the devil himself. But power games come with a price, and feelings were never part of the bargain. As Gabriel's cold exterior starts to crack, Paige wonders—can she melt the heart of a man who claims he doesn’t have one? Or will she lose herself trying?

Boxing Day

Boxing Day

by Jen Cooper

“Spread your legs, Millie.”

I couldn’t believe I was in the boxing ring with the head coach of my dad's gym. Leo was over a decade older and completely off-limits.

And he was training me in secret.

When I entered the Boxing Day tournament to save my bakery, my whole family bet against me. If my dad found out Leo was coaching me to win, he’d fire Leo and disown me forever.

Imagine what he’d do if he knew what else was going on between us.

Leo kicked my feet apart and gave me a smirk I knew was going to cause trouble. “Good girl.”

But I was starting to think a little trouble was worth it.

Taming Harley

by A. K. Adam

Her new housemate: Chase Davenport—grumpy, gorgeous, and unfortunately her older stepbrother. He’s all sharp suits, sharp stares, and no time for Harley’s attitude. But when their parents vanish on a honeymoon cruise, these sworn enemies are left home alone. One accidental glimpse into Chase’s dark, controlled world changes everything. Now, the fire between them is impossible to ignore… and Harley’s about to learn just how dangerous it is to play with something you don’t understand.

Dragon’s Melody

Dragon’s Melody

by 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.

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?

A Recipe for Love

by 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.

Suddenly, Dahlia is stepping into a spotlight she never asked for, playing a role that blurs faster than she can keep up.

Because when the lines between pretend and reality start to fade, keeping things simple is no longer an option.
