Jekyll and Hyde Series

E. A. Baker

Jamie is an international mastermind and professional thief masquerading as a small-town tattoo artist. Rogue is the bad-boy leader of a local motorcycle club who looks like sex on a stick. The sizzle between them is instant and explosive.

Luckily, the two have one thing in common—both have sworn off relationships for life. But after Jamie takes a bullet for Rogue’s daughter, Angel, can Rogue keep seeing her as nothing more than addictive fling? Or will Jamie’s secrets and dark memories tear them apart?

Emily Dash

Ian builds his world underground, filling a basement apartment with hobbies, screens, and rules that keep the outside safely away. Solitude feels controlled, predictable, and calm. Then Natalie crashes in with sharp wit, fearless energy, and nowhere else to go. Sparks fly fast, messy, and impossible to ignore. What starts as a thrilling secret quickly digs deeper, stirring buried fears and long-ignored needs on both sides. Ian clings to safety while Natalie searches for belonging, and neither is very good at pretending this is casual. Desire, vulnerability, and hope tangle together in a story about risk, trust, and the courage it takes to step into the light. Can two guarded hearts learn how to breathe again?

F. R. Black

Camila is no stranger to blood and betrayal. Her father being Brazil’s biggest drug lord meant she had the finest things money could buy—until he was murdered, at least. But by that point she didn’t really need him; he’d taught her all she needed to know…except about falling in love. Now she’s bleeding to death in a pool of her own blood and there’s a strange man promising to save her life if she signs a contract with Fairy Godmother Inc.…

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.

The Rogue Series 1: The Rogue Alpha

Gemma Rue

“You pack wolves all fight the same,” I mock. He’s tall, strong, and an alpha. Even Rogues know not to fight an Alpha. But I’m no regular Rogue.

“Is that so?” His muscles strain against his shirt.

My gaze traces his body. I linger a moment too long. A fist pushes against me. I grab his wrist. We fall with a thud. Our bodies pressed together.

“If you wanted me on top of you, all you had to do was ask.”

When fate forces a rogue and alpha together, will they be able to set aside their differences and give love a chance?

But living under the same roof has a way of turning simple rules into complicated feelings. With every shared moment and unexpected glance, tension builds in ways she cannot ignore. As walls begin to shift, Amelia finds herself wondering if staying in control is harder than she ever imagined.

Seren

Seren

J. Nathan

Seren Grayson is a tempest. Heartless and destructive to anyone who crosses his path. But because of his good looks and talent on the football field, the students at Windham Prep adore him. They respect his boldness. They fear his wrath. And, they believe they know the real Seren.

But they don’t.

When I’m forced to move into Seren’s home, I unexpectedly unleash his wrath and become his latest target. He may think I'm easy prey because I’m the housekeeper’s daughter, but he’s wrong. I’m not someone who will cower or back down when I'm pushed.

I’ll push back. Harder.

The longer I spend in Windham, the more I unravel the mysteries of Seren and Grayson Manor. Who knew it would take an outsider to soften his tough exterior and discover the truth behind the lies.

Feelin The Burn

Feelin The Burn

E. L. Koslo

"“Relax your legs. Let me in.”

My breath hitches when his hands press between my thighs, pushing my legs apart as he leans in. His thumbs brush just under the hem of my exercise shorts and I swallow a moan, half pain, half pleasure.

He smirks like he knows exactly what he’s doing to me. “I’ll have you feeling the burn…”

Hannah is the big girl no guy ever looks twice at. Except for Jordan, her physical trainer, who never seems to take his eyes off her. Does he simply see her as a challenge, or something more?"
