Study Buddy Part 1

Study Buddy Part 1

by Jen Cooper

Amelia Parker is quiet, cautious, and completely unprepared for college parties—or people. But a promise to her late twin sends her straight into chaos... and into the orbit of Zeke Evans. He’s loud, hot, and perpetually one missed grade away from losing his scholarship. They strike a deal: he’ll be her guide to college life, and she’ll be his tutor. But what starts as tutoring turns into teasing, late-night texts, and unexpected lessons in way more than chemistry. Amelia may be inexperienced, but she’s no pushover. And Zeke? He might just be learning something new—like what it feels like when one girl flips your whole game.

Practice, Not Perfect

Practice, Not Perfect

by Jane Anne

Kate’s got two weeks to fake being a hockey superfan—and she’s already skating on thin ice. When her harmless crush on star player Grady spirals into a big, fat lie, she turns to his rival, the grumpy and irresistible Carver Reed, for help. Their deal? Pretend to date and save his rep while she learns the rules of the game. Easy… right? But between late-night practices, sharp banter, and one too many “accidental” touches, the line between fake and real starts to blur fast. With secrets, sparks, and power plays flying, Kate’s about to learn that the hardest part of hockey isn’t the ice—it’s keeping her heart from slipping.

Sold to the Alpha

by Kelsie Tate

As she cast a glance over her shoulder, her breath hitched. There he stood. The king.

“Mate.”

Lost Lycan's Mate

Lost Lycan's Mate

by A. K. Glandt

I stared in awe at the beautiful creature before me.

A Lycan, here in my Pack. This couldn’t be happening.

The Lycans were driven extinct centuries ago. Yet here he was, and I couldn’t fight the magnetic pull dragging me toward him.

He took a step closer to my father, who was standing protectively in front of me. “You have something of mine, and I want it back.”

“Oh yeah? What?” My father snarled.

The Lycan looked straight at me.

“My mate.”

Cleo has lived her entire life without her wolf, and she’s accepted that she doesn’t have one. But when she meets her mate, a long-lost Lycan king, she feels an awakening that will change her life forever.

Infinity

Infinity

by Mikayla S

I met my mate as a child.

I was lost in the woods, and his calming voice guided me to safety without ever revealing himself.

Since then, he’s watched over me but never showed himself. I yearn to touch him, to hold him.

Yet still, he lurks in the shadows, never claiming me.

I wonder if there’s something wrong with me. Am I not good enough for him?

But then, when I turn 21, I’m attacked by rogues and left for dead. As I feel the life drain from my body, a creature appears on the edge of my blurry vision.

“Stay strong, little mate. You’re mine now.”

As the mate bond surges between us, I know he’s not a wolf.

He’s something older… Darker… Deadlier.

Who the hell is my mate?

And what will happen to me now?

Seren

Seren

by J. Nathan

Seren Grayson is a tempest. Heartless and destructive to anyone who crosses his path. But because of his good looks and talent on the football field, the students at Windham Prep adore him. They respect his boldness. They fear his wrath. And, they believe they know the real Seren.

When I’m forced to move into Seren’s home, I unexpectedly unleash his wrath and become his latest target. He may think I'm easy prey because I’m the housekeeper’s daughter, but he’s wrong. I’m not someone who will cower or back down when I'm pushed.

I’ll push back. Harder.

The longer I spend in Windham, the more I unravel the mysteries of Seren and Grayson Manor. Who knew it would take an outsider to soften his tough exterior and discover the truth behind the lies.
