Lottie Tait

Mira Jones thought her obsession with the Golden Age of Piracy was all books and relics—until a mysterious artifact flings her back to the 18th century.

The pirate she has spent her career studying, Lorenzo Sosa, is alive, irresistible, and dangerously unpredictable.

Fated

Rose Tee

“Do you always break into women’s bedrooms… or am I special?” 😏 Jasmine screams. Mason smirks. Then he makes an omelet like that fixes everything (it does not. It helps, annoyingly). Before romance bulldozes her schedule, Jasmine is trying to live like a grown woman with boundaries and a locked bedroom door. Too bad Mason has a key, zero shame, and the kind of “I’ll handle it” energy that makes you want to throw a pillow and then keep him. She should hate him—she does hate him—until he’s wiping sauce off her mouth in public like it’s normal, and paying for his mom’s surprise trip like money can silence chemistry. You know that man who acts like he owns the room? Now imagine he’s also your best friend’s son and he keeps touching your back like he forgot his hand is attached. Jasmine laughs it off. Mason plays sweet. Then she steps toward her car and his mom turns her head, loud enough for everyone: “So… when are you going to tell Jasmine you like her?”

Amber Kuhlman

Addy saves lives for a living—but can’t seem to save her own. After one brutal night shatters her last ounce of strength, she runs, desperate for escape. That’s when she collides with Jay—a stranger with danger in his eyes and too many sins on his hands. He’s a storm she should avoid, but the pull between them is undeniable. He’s broken. She’s bleeding. And somehow, their hearts still recognize each other in the wreckage. As dark secrets rise and pasts collide, Addy must decide whether to keep running from the truth—or face it head-on, even if it means loving the one man who could destroy her.

Cowboy Casanova

Cowboy Casanova

Juno Sparks

Isobel Wright didn’t come to Wears Valley looking for trouble. She came to help her best friend with a spooked mare and maybe breathe a little Tennessee air. She didn’t expect the horse whisperer — the one with rope burns on his hands, a slow-burn smile, and hazel eyes that made her knees forget their job.

Ryder Callahan looks like he was born in the saddle. And he was. What no one around here knows is that he also owns half of Manhattan.

He keeps those two worlds airtight. Always has.

But Isobel makes him want to stop.

One small town. Two people hiding more than they say. And a pull between them that’s harder to outrun than a two-thousand-pound bull.

Some secrets are worth keeping. Some are worth blowing wide open.

Bella Ravyn

Emery lands her dream assignment covering a high-stakes hockey season, ready to prove she belongs. The only problem? Carter, the team’s arrogant co-captain, who pushes every button she has. Their history is messy, their banter sharp, and their patience with each other… nonexistent. Yet the closer they work, the harder it becomes to ignore the tension crackling beneath every glare and sarcastic remark. Between locker room chaos, late-night deadlines, and moments that feel a little too real, lines begin to blur. Is it rivalry, or something far more dangerous? Because on this ice, the biggest risk isn’t losing the game—it’s losing control of their hearts.

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....
