Boxing Day

Boxing Day

Jen Cooper

“Spread your legs, Millie.”

I couldn’t believe I was in the boxing ring with the head coach of my dad's gym. Leo was over a decade older and completely off-limits.

And he was training me in secret.

When I entered the Boxing Day tournament to save my bakery, my whole family bet against me. If my dad found out Leo was coaching me to win, he’d fire Leo and disown me forever.

Imagine what he’d do if he knew what else was going on between us.

Leo kicked my feet apart and gave me a smirk I knew was going to cause trouble. “Good girl.”

But I was starting to think a little trouble was worth it.

Lacey Jones has her life mapped down to the last detail—classes, her spot as starting goalie on the school hockey team, and absolutely no time for dating. But plans don’t always survive reality. An ill-advised relationship with her coach quickly turns abusive, leaving her vulnerable and unsure who to trust. Then the last person she ever expected steps in: her childhood bully. He volunteers to be her bodyguard, determined to shield her from the chaos threatening to consume her—and his interest goes far beyond protection. With sparks flying and old wounds resurfacing, Lacey must decide if the boy who once tormented her might now be the man she needs. But opening her heart could mean risking everything she’s built—and herself.

Tayla Green feels like she exists on the sidelines of her own life. Surrounded by a family obsessed with sports, she is the quiet, book-loving outlier who prefers sketchbooks over stadiums and silence over cheers.

Their first clash is anything but gentle, yet something about him keeps pulling her back into his orbit. As their worlds keep colliding, Tayla starts to question everything she thought defined her. Maybe stepping out of her comfort zone is not the mistake she always believed it would be.

Fumbled

Lynn Fair

It wasn’t supposed to mean anything.

Just one night.

Sydney Hale goes home with a stranger who’s charming, funny, and way too easy to talk to. The chemistry is instant, the sex is unforgettable—and somehow, they end up staying up half the night laughing, talking, and getting to know each other in a way that feels dangerously real.

It scares her.

So the next morning, she does what she always does when things start to matter—she leaves. No goodbye. No explanation. She moves on.

Except he doesn’t.

Carson—which was not the name he told her—can’t stop thinking about the woman who slipped through his fingers. He’s drawn to her in a way that has nothing to do with attraction and everything to do with connection. He texts. He calls. He shows up. He wants more.

Sydney wants distance.

Then she sees a headline.

A photo. A name she doesn’t recognize—until she does.

Carson Beck. The biggest, hottest quarterback in the NFL. A notorious playboy with a reputation for chewing through women and walking away without a second glance.

The realization hits hard: she didn’t just sleep with a stranger—she slept with him.

Now she’s caught between panic and disbelief. Because the man she spent the night with doesn’t match the one splashed across every sports page. And despite his reputation, Carson is still chasing her like she’s the only woman who exists.

She knows better than to fall for a quarterback who lives under stadium lights and headlines.

But Carson Beck has never wanted anything the way he wants Sydney Hale.

And this time, he refuses to fumble her twice.

Five Rounds

Five Rounds

A. Duncan

Colby lives for the fight. Training, titles, and discipline fill every hour, and emotions stay locked behind solid walls. Love is a distraction he cannot afford. Then a snowstorm delivers Landry back into his life, desperate, shaken, and needing protection. She runs from something she refuses to name, trusting the one man she believes will not turn her away. Old friendship sparks under the surface, heated and familiar. As they share space and silence, tension builds between fear and longing. Colby can guard her body, but guarding his heart is another battle entirely. Can a fighter built for control handle feelings that refuse to stay down?

Breaking Point

Breaking Point

Zainab Sambo

Taylor Cruz lives for midnight roads and illegal grids, racing as Havoc—the street-racing ghost everyone films and no one catches. When a viral clip detonates her life and costs her license, Marco Vieri, an F1 team owner on the brink of collapse, offers her a last-chance gamble: three weeks in Monaco to prove she deserves one seat on his failing team. Standing in her way is Luca Vieri, the team’s flawless golden driver—and Marco’s son—who distrusts her past and the spotlight that follows her. When River Thorne resurfaces, the pressure turns personal. In Formula 1, speed isn’t the only thing that breaks you—sometimes it’s the spotlight, the crash, or the person you can’t afford to care about.
