Snowred Series Book 1: Snowred

C. Swallow

Ellie never thought her escape would begin with being hunted. But when Snowred—the infamous, heartless werewolf warrior—snatches her from the only life she’s known, she’s thrown into a twisted fairytale of danger, desire, and dark magic. With an Evil Queen pulling strings from the shadows, Ellie becomes more than prey—she’s the spark that just might shatter Snowred’s curse… or break them both in the process. Sweet meets savage, and fire meets frost, as their love burns and bruises in equal measure. One wants freedom. One wants peace. The Queen wants them broken. But fate may have other ideas. Welcome to the forest. Nothing here is safe—not even love.

Lottie Tait

Stranded on the exotic isle of Tortuga, she navigates a world of treachery, danger, and temptation at every turn. The pirate she has spent her career studying, Lorenzo Sosa, is alive, irresistible, and dangerously unpredictable.

In a world where swords clash as often as hearts, can Mira survive—and surrender to the pull she can’t resist?

Savage Remains: What Remains Between Us

Savage Remains: What Remains Between Us

Kristen Mullings

Roman’s lips hovered over mine, so close it hurt, his voice rough as gravel.

“Not yet,” he whispered. “You’ll break for me in the next breath.”

Sage swore she was done with Roman—the lies, the heartbreak, the fire that never really went out. But when fate pulls them back together, the tension between them is electric, dangerous, impossible to ignore. Roman wants redemption; Sage wants the truth. Every touch feels like a promise, every argument like a dare. He’s determined to prove he’s changed, but old wounds don’t heal easily, and temptation has a way of blurring the lines between forgiveness and surrender. Between tense dinners, sharp words, and stolen kisses, they find themselves asking the one question neither can escape—can you ever really love someone who once broke you?

What Remains The John Baker Story

What Remains The John Baker Story

Jeannie Sharpe

Savannah Baker has built her life on loyalty, routine, and the quiet belief that love—real love—means staying. In the small town of Camden, where every road carries a memory and every face tells a story, Savannah’s world has always centered around her husband, John Baker, and their two daughters. John is the kind of man people trust without question—a devoted father, a steady presence, a man who has spent years building a life that appears unshakable from the outside. But appearances have a way of hiding what matters most. When John suddenly collapses without warning, the fragile foundation of their life begins to fracture. What starts as a medical emergency quickly becomes something far more complicated, pulling Savannah into a reality she never expected to face. As John fights to recover, the quiet spaces between them begin to fill with questions neither of them are ready to answer. Because long before the collapse… something had already gone wrong. Savannah senses it in the way John avoids her eyes. In the tension that lingers in their home long after the doctors say he’s stable. In the small, almost invisible changes that only a wife would notice. And then there is Claire Whitmore. A name that doesn’t belong in their life—and yet somehow does. Claire exists on the edges of everything, never fully seen, never fully explained, but impossible to ignore. As Savannah begins to piece together the truth, she realizes that the life she has been protecting may not be the life she thought she was living. Still, Savannah does not confront him. Not yet. Instead, she does what she has always done—she stays. For her daughters. For the family she believes is still worth saving. For the version of John she refuses to let go of. But love, she is about to learn, is not the same as trust. As the days pass and John recovers at home, the tension between them grows heavier, tightening like a knot neither of them knows how to untangle. Every conversation feels incomplete. Every silence feels louder. And every glance carries the weight of something unspoken. John is hiding something. And Savannah is running out of time to pretend she doesn’t know it. Around them, life in Camden continues—friends show up with casseroles and quiet concern, their daughters try to make sense of the shift they can feel but cannot name, and the familiar rhythms of small-town life press forward as if nothing has changed. But everything has. Because the truth is not just about betrayal. It’s about what remains after it. When the past refuses to stay buried, Savannah is forced to confront a question she has spent her entire life avoiding: What do you do when the person you love most becomes the person you no longer recognize? And more importantly… Can a marriage survive the weight of what was never meant to be discovered? What Remains: The John Baker Story is an emotionally charged exploration of love, loyalty, and the quiet devastation of secrets. Set against the backdrop of a close-knit coastal town, this story unravels the fragile threads that hold a family together—and asks whether love can endure when trust is broken, or if some truths change everything forever.

You Belong to Me Book 1

You Belong to Me Book 1

Cristina C.

The story follows Sofia Santos, a quiet, insecure girl who mostly keeps to herself at school. She’s the kind of person people overlook—never the center of attention, never the girl everyone notices. Life at school isn’t exactly easy either. Between feeling invisible and dealing with the typical drama of teenage life, Sofia just tries to get through each day without drawing too much attention. But everything changes when someone finally does notice her. What begins as a quiet high-school crush quickly turns into something deeper, messier, and far more complicated than Sofia ever expected. And the biggest question becomes: Is this the start of something real… or the beginning of a situation she might not be able to control? ✔️ The story is completed and has a sequel called “You Will Be Mine,” which continues the characters’ lives when they are adults.

After discovering her own witch powers while saving Richard from a wolf attack—only to be met with his horror and rejection—Linda devises a dangerous plan: she will impersonate the Erlking’s Daughter, a demon from the forest, and attack the church with green-fire fireworks, uniting the town against a common enemy.

The deception works, but the real Erlking’s Daughter retaliates. As chaos engulfs Copperwood, Linda is captured by the Erlking himself, who offers her a choice: become his queen, or fight to save the town that despises her.
