The War of the Gods Book One: Endless Seas

The War of the Gods Book One: Endless Seas

Morrigan Rivers

"Think about it." Tyr smiled. "Out of all the women in your old village, our father chose you. How could that not be fate?"

Enid is kidnapped on what should be the happiest day of her life and dragged into the fierce, bewildering world of Ivar the Deathless and his maddeningly charming family. She wants her old life back—simple, predictable, safe—but each day in this new place nudges her toward possibilities she never allowed herself to imagine. Tyr teases her about fate, the others welcome her with stubborn warmth, and even Ivar, cold as winter steel, keeps slipping past her defenses in ways she refuses to admit out loud. As Enid wrestles with loyalty, destiny, and a pull she absolutely did not ask for, she must decide what home really means… and who she is willing to fight for.

Forbidden Men Book 1: Price of a Kiss

Linda Kage

I don't care what my cousin says; I am not the queen of impossible relationships. I mean, just because my last boyfriend tried to kill me and left a bit of a scar on my neck, then forced me to move across the country and legally change my name to Reese Randall to escape him, does not mean-

Oh, who am I kidding? For a freshman in college, I have to have the worst dating track record ever.

It's no wonder love is the last thing on my mind when Mason Lowe enters my life. But the chemistry between us is like bam! Our connection defies logic. And he's just so freaking hot. Being around him makes me feel more alive than I've ever felt before. I even like bickering with him. He could be my soul mate...except for one teeny tiny glitch.

He's a gigolo.

Boy, do I know how to pick them.

Slow Burn Romance Books

Slow Burn Romance Books build romantic tension gradually over time until the emotional payoff feels absolutely earned. These stories focus on developing deep emotional connection and understanding before physical attraction takes center stage. Characters might be coworkers who slowly notice each other differently, enemies who gradually see past their differences, or strangers who take time to truly know each other. The anticipation builds through meaningful conversations and small gestures rather than instant chemistry. Readers love the extended development that makes the eventual romance feel solid and lasting. Find stories where taking time creates the most satisfying love....
