Anatomy of Us

B. E. Harmel

Anna never expects the stranger who stole her attention in a café to turn up as her new boss in the hospital. Adam is sharp, magnetic, and completely forbidden—but resisting him feels impossible. Every glance pulls her in deeper, every touch blurs the line between right and reckless. With secrets from the past pressing close and her career on the line, Anna knows the risk is too high. Yet the draw of Adam is too strong to ignore. Their connection is dangerous, addictive, and far too tempting to resist. In a world of heartbreak and high stakes, one choice could ruin them—or finally set them free.

The Half Blood

The Half Blood

Laura B.L.

Two shadowy figures walked toward each other, their gazes locked. With every step they took, they became more clear, the orange light flickering off of their almost-naked bodies. From where I stood, only their faces remained hidden.

The second they touched, my body lit up. As the man’s hands circled the woman’s hips, I felt his fingers dig into my own body. As he kissed her neck, I felt his lips against my skin, all the way down to my collarbone and back up to my ear lobe. His face was buried in her neck, hers was visible now. She had the very same blue eyes I had been looking at in the mirror my whole life. The woman in the vision was me…

When Nala, a half-witch half-werewolf hybrid, visits the Royal Lycan Realm, the last thing she expects to do is take part in the annual Hunt, an ancient mating ritual cherished by the Lycan King himself. Now she’s running through the forest, and King Alaric is gaining on her. Will she keep running forever? Or will she let him catch her and become his Queen?

Kristen Mullings

We spoke only one language. Sex.

He had me by the hair, my body taut in his other arm. I was so wet already I didn’t know if I could take it if he slid inside me.

He bent me over the desk aggressively, but that caused my libido to peak even further. I felt him massaging his hard length against my ass.

I sighed with desire. Needing him. Right here. Right now...

“Have I told you how much I appreciate you letting my dad stay with us after Dianne left?” I ask Alex, idly tracing shapes on his bare back.

“You have,” he replies. “But I won’t say no to you showing me again just how much you appreciate me,” he teases.

In the aftermath of her mother's abandonment, Ariel has more important things to worry about than Dianne finding her fated mate. Her father is in mourning, her position is working her into the dirt, and everyone is preparing for Mating Weekend—which she has to host. Can she handle it? Honestly, Ariel isn’t sure, but she’s going to try. Tensions rise as her duties begin to close in on her, but help comes in the form of her mate and dear friends coming together to give her a much needed break. A heartwarming reunion, fun surprises, and new adventures await.

Ray leaned in, taking up every ounce of her breath. "If you won't accept my money, then accept my body. I'll fix your leaky roof for you..."
