J. B.

Annalise Miller never imagined her boss would propose—especially not like this. As the executive assistant to one of New York’s most powerful men, she’s spent years keeping his life in order. Now, he wants her to be his wife. No love, just convenience. A partnership of power and luxury. But as their engagement unfolds, Annalise starts to see cracks in the perfect billionaire façade. His past is darker than she expected, and the closer she gets, the harder it is to ignore. Can she marry a man who doesn’t believe in love, or will his secrets send her running before she ever says “I do”?

Point of No Return: Book 1

Point of No Return: Book 1

Jenny Asp

On a sun-drenched escape to Greece, Elizabeth expects family time and fresh air, not the full attention of a powerful man who always gets what he wants. Luca is magnetic, controlled, and wrapped in rumors that make sensible women step back. Elizabeth does the opposite. She resists him with sharp wit and steady resolve, even as his focus never wavers. Drawn into a glittering world where loyalty is fragile and trust is earned the hard way, Elizabeth feels the pull between her instincts and her heart. As tension rises and secrets start to surface, every choice carries weight. Desire simmers, danger circles closer, and one promise changes everything. How far can resistance go when walking away is no longer an option?

Lost Lycan's Mate

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.

Captive of the Snake King

Captive of the Snake King

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.

The princess is taken the wrong way and winds up in the presence of a southern enemy soldier. After days in endless battle, the soldier wants nothing more than to return to his camp and return to winning the war, but the tempting princess is making the journey torturous.

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.

The Real You

The Real You

A. Knighton

Tara steps into her new apartment expecting peace, only to find Sebastian—her longtime campus nemesis—standing there with that maddeningly smug smile. He calls her Barbie. She calls him Nerd. They clash on sight, sparks flying in ways neither of them wants to admit. But beneath their bickering sit secrets sharp enough to cut, shadows neither of them can outrun alone. As forced proximity softens their edges, the heat between them shifts into something far more tempting… and far more dangerous. With every moment together, their walls crumble, leaving them to wonder if the person they hate is exactly the person they need.

Infinity

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?
