Alexis Anneb

Eve thought her trip to Brazil would be an amazing adventure—she'd see some exotic wildlife, meet unique and awe-inspiring people, and enjoy the local cuisine. What she didn’t count on was being captured by aliens and thrown into a prison surrounded by all kinds of animals and creatures from across the universe. The thing is, she’s not the only intelligent life-form in there… just wait until she meets Ardaxur, the sexiest thing she’s ever laid eyes on.

Trapping Quincy

She runs away with the aim of living a normal life amongst humans, but then she meets Prince Caspian. He’s not human; he’s not a wolf… What is he? The only thing she knows for sure is that he’s the most gorgeous man she’s ever seen—and he seems to be equally mesmerized by her! But they come from very different worlds…

Trinity Blue

When Alex Livingston walks into her first day of a new job, she's not counting on falling in lust. But that's exactly what happens when she meets her difficult, intense, gorgeous boss, Laken Whitlock. Laken is tired of the procession of pretty, useless assistants who'd rather bag a rich husband than do anything useful, but Alex seems different. And stunning. Alex's snappy independence and Laken's controlling habits soon clash in a deliciously uncontrollable attraction, but when it comes to feelings, both have reasons to be cautious.

Leo Chambers, the world’s youngest billionaire, has moved on and Frankie must do the same. She draws the attention of Christian De Luca, Leo’s business partner, a man who is used to getting what he wants. But in a world where anything can be bought, Frankie is determined that he won’t buy her.

Fighting Darius

Fighting Darius

Nicole Riddley

“Persephone.” A tall muscular figure rises gracefully, like a shadow, in the dim light by my bed. “Why is your lipstick smeared?”

It’s him… It has been three years since I last laid eyes on him. The night he shattered my heart into a million pieces. Suddenly, here he is, standing in my bedroom, waiting for me.

Darius. Slowly, he walks up to me. He grabs my face in his hand, pulling me in. His body presses against mine.

“I smell another man on you, Persephone,” he growls.

If a Lycan resists his mate it will destroy him. When Penny finds herself at a party, hosted by the werewolf royal family, the last thing she expects is Darius Ivanovic Rykov. Gorgeous, mysterious, and ever brooding, he can’t take his eyes off of her. Will they give in to their fated bond? Or will they surrender to the darkness?

Dive deeper into the world of Gideon & Trapping Quincy, with another spicy installment in the series.

The Winter Court Series: The Fae's Captive

M. L. Smith

Seri has spent her life hiding in plain sight—a half-human servant with royal blood she dares never reveal. But when ruthless King Cazimir takes her across the border, her secret becomes a dangerous weapon. His cursed lands are dying, and only she can break the spell… if he doesn’t break her first. 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. The closer she gets to him, the more the line between captor and protector blurs—and resisting him may be the hardest battle of all.

Summer In Our Bones

Summer In Our Bones

Briana Bennett

Jordan Maxwell shows up in sun-kissed Valencia for a family wedding expecting football, food, and maybe a few too many cousins—not the Silva twins. Gorgeous, rich, and way too sure of themselves, they’re the kind of trouble he swears he’s immune to. Except one of them—Nico—smiles, and suddenly Jordan’s pulse is doing cartwheels.

Between orange blossoms, beach parties, and late-night secrets, Valencia turns into a slow-burn battlefield of flirtation and denial. Nico is equal parts danger and delight, and Jordan can’t decide if he wants to punch him, kiss him, or both. But when sparks catch fire under the Mediterranean sun, there’s no hiding what’s real.

Because some secrets can stay buried—until love blows the lid clean off.

When a scandal forces him into an arranged marriage with Angela Carson, a penniless nobody, he assumes she’s a gold digger—and vows to punish her for it. But appearances are deceiving, and sometimes polar opposites aren’t as different as they seem…

Taken By The Mafia

Taken By The Mafia

Annie Whipple

“Good morning, bella mia.”

He brought my earlobe into his mouth. It felt incredible, but I didn't want to give him the satisfaction, so I kept my eyes shut.

“I know you’re awake, Freya,” He kissed my neck. “Not gonna open your eyes? Okay, let’s play…”

I felt him move so that he was on top of me. I instinctively spread my legs just a little so the most dangerous mafia don in the country could slide his body between them.

When Freya wakes up in an Italian villa next to a gorgeous stranger, she has no idea how she got there. As she examines the mysterious Greek god of a man next to her, she tries to remember… was he an innocent one-night stand? Or something else?
