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?

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.

Roanna Hinks

There were rumors about him from brothers and the club girls, but nothing stuck.

I said nothing to him, thinking he would leave or even grunt at me when I walked past.

Moving from where I stood, I turned my back to him, which wasn’t the best move I ever made.

Nova never expected much from the club—just survival, not love. But everything changes the night Grim steps out of the shadows and claims her with one word. He’s danger in denim, mystery in a leather cut, and the only man who’s ever made her feel truly seen. But loving a man like him means walking a knife’s edge between freedom and chaos. As Nova starts dreaming of a way out, Grim's world starts closing in. He says he won’t let her go. She wants to believe him... but can she trust a promise from a man who’s never lived outside the club?

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.

Book Boyfriends Wanted 1: His Curvy Friend

Mary E Thompson

Ian Being stuck in the friend-zone sucked. I was done. Blake had been single long enough, and if I didn’t make a move, she’d get together with the wrong man again. Because the right one was me. Luck was definitely on my side. An online dating site paired us up. It was an opportunity to show her the side of me she didn’t know. The side who wasn’t interested in a fling with half the women in town. The side who wanted something serious and lasting. With her. I thought about confessing. Telling her that I was the guy she was sharing her secrets with. But keeping my online identity a secret meant she talked to me. Really talked to me. It was worth the risk. Blake was worth any risk.

Blake Getting dumped sucked. Getting dumped because he thought I was in love with my best friend’s older brother was ludicrous. I did not have a thing for Ian. Yeah, we shared a hotel room when we went to Hawaii, but nothing happened. I mean, I walked in on him right after he got out of the shower. Water running down his chest. Hair slicked back from his face. That stormy look in his eyes. And the rock, hard… Ahem, anyway. No, I did not have a thing for him. We were friends. That was it. No one needed to know I still dreamed about what would have happened if I’d closed that door with me on the inside instead of the outside. It was never going to happen. Ever.

But there’s an attraction there.

And just my luck, I was destined to marry him thanks to rules from our MC.

I was serving drinks at the clubhouse the night we met. When he first looked at me, I could tell he didn’t want me as his girl. In fact, he looked furious when he realized we’d been paired.

“Please, I know you want to reject me,” I trembled. ”Don’t worry. I’ll leave the club.”

“You’re right,” he said, pressing his firm body against mine. “I don’t want you…”

“...But what makes you think I’ll let you leave me?”
