Broken Spin-Off: Skating on Scars

Broken Spin-Off: Skating on Scars

Evelyn Miller

College student Tayla is mortified when her new roommate turns out to be Benji—the hot hockey player she impulsively kissed months ago while on a break from her boyfriend. Sharing a space means awkward house rules, unresolved attraction, and feelings that refuse to stay buried. Benji is charming, tempting, and everything she never planned for, while her boyfriend represents the safe, sensible future she’s been building toward. As sparks fly and boundaries blur, Tayla must decide whether to choose the relationship that looks right on paper, or the one that makes her heart flutter.

“What are you willing to do to get what you want, Ms. Hart?”

I looked up at him, those stormy grey eyes devoid of emotion. My heart pounded in my chest, my throat dry with fear. He was offering me everything I needed so desperately. But what would it cost me?

“I won’t ask again.”

I closed my eyes and signed away my soul to the most dangerous man in England.

“Anything.”

Mason Campbell is cold, hard, and unapologetic. He’s envied by men and wanted by women. Lauren Hart has just landed a job as his assistant and is constantly on the receiving end of his hatred. Unfortunately, Mason doesn’t have eyes for anyone but Lauren and is about to make her an offer she can’t refuse.

Sold to the Alpha

Sold to the Alpha

Kelsie Tate

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

The air caught in her lungs as their eyes met, a spark flaring in the depths of his gaze.

“Servant,” he said, his voice icy. Her internal wolf surged, screaming one word…

“Mate.”

When Autumn Blackthorne’s parents die, leaving behind a mountain of debt, she is forced to become an indentured servant to the fearsome King Elijah. When she meets the king himself, her inner wolf screams that she has met her mate. But can the alpha king ever see her as more than a maid?

The Last Bloodline 1: Beta Xavier Costa

The Last Bloodline 1: Beta Xavier Costa

Amina Hazim

“What is this?” Eleanor whispered, her voice trembling as she gazed up at Xavier, her eyes glistening with unshed tears.

“Can’t you see? It’s a mating contract agreement,” Xavier replied, his tone devoid of warmth as he looked at her—the woman destined to share his life. Eleanor felt a wave of anxiety wash over her, as if the walls were closing in, amplifying the weight of the moment.

Eleanor never expected to be bound by a six-month mating contract, especially not with Xavier, a man she’s only just met. After losing her mother, she’d held on to the hope that love would find her again, but now she’s facing a forced union with a man whose past is shrouded in mystery and pain. The contract is meant to be temporary, but as Eleanor and Xavier are thrust together, the walls between them grow, and the intensity of their bond is tested. Will they learn to love each other, or will the weight of secrets and unresolved trauma tear them apart?

Now grown, she survives in a grim new reality where cities are sealed off and ruled by the infected, and stepping into their streets is a death sentence. With no family left, Rayna grows up in the camps outside the cities, where survival comes at a brutal cost and soldiers treat her as little more than a plaything. When she finally loses faith in humanity, an unlikely savior offers her refuge. But safety is never free in a broken world. Has Rayna truly found a haven—or is she being held for a far darker fate?

Infinity

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?

Lost Lycan's Mate

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.

Raven Flanagan

A powerless bastard daughter of the Mage Emperor is sent in the place of her missing elder sister as a decoy bride for a neighboring king. They need his army to win a war against the invading kingdom to the south, but he'll only send aid for a queen.

Selene is promised to the gods, meant to become a priestess when her sister is found and rightfully married to the northern king. She questions everything she knows, including her feelings, when she learns who the enemy soldier really is. And by the time he learns that she's not the true born princess, and she's really the powerless daughter, it's too late for his heart as well.

He sees her as a pawn, yet fate has marked her as something far more intimate: his fated mate. Desire coils between them, fierce and treacherous, pulling her toward a man who could either save her or ruin her completely.
