Forbidden Men Book 1: Price of a Kiss

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.

No Such Thing

No Such Thing

Tiff

There’s no such thing as fairytales. There’s no such thing as fidelity. Anything can happen at any moment. One minute you can be so happy that all you want to do is scream, and the next… you’re sitting all alone in your bedroom crying your eyes out because the one person who you thought would be there with you through anything, isn’t there anymore. I watched my mom’s heart break.

So why would I want to follow in the same fate? Why would I want to indirectly stumble right into my hearts demise? I can’t. I won’t.

Love is an illusion – There’s just no such thing.

My Cowboy

My Cowboy

Tinkerbelle Leonhardt

Cora’s got her life all figured out—so when her estranged father leaves her a massive inheritance with the catch of living on his ranch out in the countryside, she’s more annoyed than anything.

At least until she meets Hael, the sexy cowboy who works on her new ranch. Will the southern heartthrob be enough to keep Cora’s heart out in the country, or will the stresses of her new life and the mystery of her father’s will drive her back to big-city living?

At the very least, she’s got a sexy cowboy at her disposal, and she’s always wanted to take riding lessons…

Off Limits Book 1: The One I Wasn’t Supposed to Love

Anne Laura van Rooij

Lena Carter has one rule she refuses to break—Jaxon Walker is off limits. He’s her best friend’s older brother, the school’s star point guard, and the last person she should ever want. But rules have a funny way of bending when Jaxon decides he’s not going anywhere. What starts as teasing banter and sharp-tongued exchanges slowly shifts into something heavier, charged with stolen glances and moments that linger too long. Lena keeps telling herself to stay away, to stay loyal, to stay safe. Yet every interaction pulls her closer to the one person she swore she wouldn’t fall for. And when lines finally blur, she has to decide if protecting the truth is worth losing the only connection that feels real.

Catch Me When I Fall

Catch Me When I Fall

Heather Gray

Annabelle’s life has been built on lies, and she’s done letting them define her. Moving to a new city for a fresh start, she throws herself into her new job as a teacher. Then she meets sweet, six-year-old Maisie—and her infuriatingly handsome father, Sawyer. He’s overprotective, guarded, and impossible… but also impossible to ignore. Annabelle swore she’d never risk her heart again, but something about Sawyer—and the way he looks at her—has her questioning everything. Can she break through his walls, or is she doomed to another heartbreak?

Breaking Ice

For years, she’s quietly loved Michael, the charismatic captain of her university’s hockey team—until that crush costs her the unthinkable.

Jeremiah Redd, Michael’s best friend and the team’s strongest defenseman, arrives from Tennessee chasing his own hockey dreams and a place on the national stage. He’s also been in love with Bexley far longer than she realizes. Caught between loyalty, ambition, and buried feelings, Jeremiah knows one truth she doesn’t yet see: she’s skating toward the wrong man—and the right one has been beside her all along.

That Blue Eyed Boy

Kataya Winston

What she does not expect is the farm’s new hired hand waiting to pick her up at the airport.

Stella is bold, spirited, and used to getting her way, which makes every conversation between them spark with playful tension. Farm life suddenly feels different with him around. As days fill with muddy boots, teasing banter, and stolen glances across open fields, both try to pretend nothing is changing. But hearts have a way of wandering, especially when two stubborn souls keep crossing paths where work and attraction collide.

Crew Series 1: Crew

Tijan

To survive where I live, you have two options.

You can be a Normal—a cheerleader, jock, member of the debate team, or on the yearbook committee. You pretend everything is normal.

You insult us? We hurt you.

You hurt us? We really hurt you.

And if you f*ck with us, we will end you.

My name is Bren.

I'm the only female in the Wolf Crew—the best, fiercest, and most dangerous crew there is—and we have a rule: There's no falling in love.

Well… too late.
