Private Lessons

Private Lessons

Chaotic Soul

Riley Adams is what high schoolers would call a nerd: booksmart and shy, with zero fashion sense. Tristan Harris is the exact opposite: captain of the football team, and the hottest guy in school by far. To say they don’t get along is putting it mildly… But then Riley starts offering private lessons to make some quick cash. Sure, they might despise each other, but it’s a thin line between love and hate.

Good for Me

Good for Me

Sofia Jade

Rory never expected her mom’s new marriage to change everything—including giving her a stepbrother she can’t stop thinking about. Forrest is grumpy, gorgeous, and the one person she should never want. They fight the tension, but one night shatters the fragile line between them. Years later, Rory returns to town with a ring on her finger and secrets in her heart. Forrest swore he’d buried his feelings, but seeing her again proves nothing has changed. The pull between them is still fierce, still dangerous, and this time he refuses to stand back. Off-limits has never looked so tempting—and resisting might just be impossible.

Avenge

Avenge

The Stillwell Cowboys

The Stillwell Cowboys

S. L. Adams

It turns out a high school reunion can be more interesting than you’d imagine. Especially when your high school crush has only gotten more handsome. The sexual tension is definitely there from both sides, leading the reunion to an unforgettable night of passion…

Reaper's Claim

Reaper's Claim

Simone Elise

I saw cold fury in his eyes and knew I’d gone too far.

His firm chest pressed into me, his angry heat radiating against my skin. His hands gripped the sides of my face, and then he whispered in my ear.

“If any other man touches you, I’ll kill him. I own you.”

And then his lips slammed into mine.

From the moment Abby first lays eyes on Kade Wilson, he’s as repellent to her as oil to vinegar. Nicknamed The Reaper for his brutish nature, he’s a deadly biker from a rival club. But no matter how much she tries to shake him, every attempt to sever ties ends with her tangled in his sheets, drenched in his sweat. Can Abby quit her addiction to The Reaper before he lays claim to her? Does she even want to?

My Girl

My Girl

Evelyn Miller

But she did the best she could and is raising a bright, happy little girl. Tanner Taylor is back in town after living away for a few years. One night he runs into the girl he loved the most. The girl who didn’t want anything to do with him. The girl who now has a daughter who looks an awful lot like him. Will their lives be forever changed after they see each other after all these years?

Bad Business

Bad Business

Elise Faber

I was a single dad. I didn’t have time for love.

When I found out I had a son, my life changed for the better. My kid was great. My heart, though, was not. It had been trampled, kicked around, and shredded just for good measure. Obviously, after all that, I wasn’t looking for love.

But then…came Maddie.

She was an integral part of my brother’s company—it would be bad business to start something with her.

Only, she was smart and funny and capable and…my heart didn’t feel like it was in pieces when I was with her.

It felt whole. It felt like it had always been hers. It felt like…I needed to keep her forever.

The Destiny Makers Book 1: The Pack Doctor

Constance Marounta

Six-year-old Estella Graham stood traumatized at the edge of the forest, weary of the wolves that approached the fiery car wreck that had claimed her family. But there was something comforting about the scent of Max, as he transported her to the safety of his pack house. She never wanted to let him go. Max Kinsky didn’t want a mate, content to pursue his medical calling and play the field until the night his wolf identified his mate in this girl who stood in the smoke of a car fire. Unfathomable, but if true, he’d have to wait years until she was old enough to fulfill The Moon Goddess’s plans for them. Until then, he’d have to carry the secret of their destiny, and hope her life wouldn’t lead her away before it was appropriate to tell her.

Tuli, determined to lose her virginity during a one night stand, hooks up with a hot-as-sin man and rides his cock into oblivion. When she leaves his house, she never plans on seeing him again. But when she discovers he’s her professor, she can’t keep her feelings hidden any longer.

Hate Notes

Hate Notes

Zainab Sambo

A small-town florist. A superstar quarterback. A decade of hate notes that were never meant to be seen.

Iris writes hate notes the way other people breathe: privately, viciously, and just to survive the mess Jesse left behind. Then someone drags her most humiliating thoughts into the light, and overnight Iris becomes the internet's favourite new obsession, "the girl who hates the quarterback."

Jesse, now a pro football star with a talent for turning charm into armour, comes home determined to handle it. Iris would rather set her hydrangeas on fire than let him control the story again. Especially when the leaks keep coming, the spotlight gets meaner, and her life starts to catch literal heat.

With a steady, too kind ER doctor offering safety, and Jesse refusing to let her go, Iris is trapped between the man who knows her best and the one who feels like an escape. But someone in their small town is fanning the flames on purpose, and if Iris wants her future back, she'll have to risk the one thing she swore she'd never give Jesse again: the truth.

With the spotlight closing in, they’ll have to decide if this is just trouble…or something real.
