No Such Thing

No Such Thing

Tiff

There’s no such thing as fairytales. There’s no such thing as fidelity. Anything can happen at any moment. One minute you can be so happy that all you want to do is scream, and the next… you’re sitting all alone in your bedroom crying your eyes out because the one person who you thought would be there with you through anything, isn’t there anymore. I watched my mom’s heart break.

So why would I want to follow in the same fate? Why would I want to indirectly stumble right into my hearts demise? I can’t. I won’t.

Love is an illusion – There’s just no such thing.

The Vikings Slave

Daphne Anders

When fierce Viking warriors raid Anne’s village, her future looks grim—until the terrifying wolf-shifting general, Agnarr, steps in. Feared by his men and blessed by the gods, Agnarr is known for spilling blood, not saving lives. Yet something about Anne ignites a battle he’s never faced before—one between his instincts and his heart. As Anne fights to survive her new world, a dangerous pull grows between them, tangled in fate, power, and forbidden desire. In the harsh wilds of the North, one captive and one cursed warrior discover that surrender can take many forms… and not all of them end in chains.

Then she meets sweet, six-year-old Maisie—and her infuriatingly handsome father, Sawyer. He’s overprotective, guarded, and impossible… but also impossible to ignore.

Can she break through his walls, or is she doomed to another heartbreak?

D. M. Farrell

Ash’s world tilts when her dad runs into trouble, leaving her with no option but to stay at his friend’s ranch until life settles again. She arrives expecting peace and chores, not a moody cowboy who manages to annoy her within minutes. Cody has his own reasons for bristling, but their sparks fly so fast the whole ranch feels the heat.

I Didn't Belong to You

I Didn't Belong to You

Elfy G

Jamie Harrison has been in love with her brother’s best friend, Finn Campbell, since she was twelve years old. It’s a cliché, she knows, but you can’t choose who you fall for! As much as Jamie has wanted “it” to happen with Finn, the timing has just never been right—that is, until her brother decides to get married in Las Vegas. Add loads of alcohol and years of pent-up lust, and let’s just say there may be more than one wedding this weekend!

The Guardian

The Guardian

Salem Morgan

In a crumbling manor filled with whispers and cruelty, Lyra endures life as a servant, always hungry, always overlooked. But when she stumbles upon a cursed blade, everything changes. The weapon does more than cut—it binds her to the ruthless commander who sees through every defense she hides behind. Now, every moment is edged with danger, every glance a spark that could burn her whole world down. Survival used to mean silence and obedience. But the blade tempts her toward something riskier: the dangerous thrill of being noticed, of claiming her own power, of reaching for a desire that might destroy them both.

Sinful Attractions

Sinful Attractions

Luci Fer

Trinity is on the ball professionally, but that doesn’t mean it’s always easy. At the bar after a hard day at the office, she meets Stephen Gotti: a gentleman at the club, and insatiable in the bedroom. They fall for each other fast, but Stephen’s got a big secret. Will it scare Trinity away?

Chained: Las Vegas Bastards

Chained: Las Vegas Bastards

Sarah N. Fox

She swore she left the darkness behind—new name, new life, clean slate. But Vegas doesn’t forgive or forget. The city’s kings—five ruthless brothers who own every inch of its glittering chaos—just claimed her as theirs. They want answers. Control. Maybe even her surrender. Each look sparks fury, each touch blurs the line between danger and desire. She’s fought monsters before, but this time the battlefield is her own heartbeat. Because surviving the devil once was hard enough… surviving five who make her burn might be impossible.
