Zainab Sambo

Beth’s world shatters when she’s taken by the man everyone calls a monster. Rogue is cold, ruthless, and broken in ways she can’t yet understand. But the longer she’s trapped in his shadow, the more cracks she sees in his armor—and the more her fear starts to burn into something she can’t name. Desire. Defiance. Dangerous tenderness. He wants to own her; she wants to survive him. Yet somewhere between hatred and longing, their hearts rewrite the rules. Now Beth must decide: escape the man who stole her freedom, or stay with the one who taught her what it means to truly feel alive.

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…

The Cursed Bloodline Book 1: The Blind Alpha

The Cursed Bloodline Book 1: The Blind Alpha

Salem Morgan

Lux is a ruthless alpha, feared and respected by all—but he hides a secret: he’s blind. No one dares challenge him, until Selene, the lowest-ranking she-wolf, defies every expectation. When he grants her the rare privilege of eye contact, something shifts. Their bond is undeniable, but in a world where power is everything, it could be their greatest weakness. As enemies close in and secrets unravel, one question remains—will their connection make them stronger, or will it destroy them both?

Second Chance

Second Chance

M. Syrah

"You want to be my Luna and bear my pups? We'll see if you have what it takes." I growled low facing a very naked and determined Alison. She seemed to have made up her mind and she looked as fierce in my bedroom as she looked on the battlefield. Could her wolf make mine surrender? We were about to find out.

Alison, a fierce warrior who’s survived deep loss, has set her sights on becoming Luna of her pack, a role she’s determined to claim beside the elusive Alpha Sean. Scarred by the mysterious death of his own mate, Sean has spent years avoiding entanglements, but Alison’s strength and loyalty have begun to crack his defenses. Under the Blood Moon’s primal call, they’re both pushed to confront their deepest instincts and desires. As Alison’s unyielding passion collides with Sean’s guarded resolve, their struggle becomes as intense as any battle, and only one will emerge victorious in this test of heart and dominance.

Black Hollow 1: Spellbound Luna

Black Hollow 1: Spellbound Luna

Lee Ellis

“Stay out of my way,” the grump growls… while standing way too close. Kat came to Black Hollow for a fresh start, not a tall, feral man who acts like she’s a problem he can’t stop staring at. Before any of the weirdness, she’s just a competent vet tech with a motel hangover and a new job at Thorn Veterinary. Then Kael walks in with an injured German Shepherd and that “touch my dog wrong and I’ll bite” attitude, and Kat has to kneel in front of him to bandage the paw. You’d think he’d say thanks. He says her full name like it tastes good. Which is… rude. Later she follows her tiny black cat into the woods and finds Kael shirtless at an outdoor gym, all sweat and muscles and bad decisions, and he still tries to boss her around (she should hate him—she does hate him). But he grabs a flashlight and leads her onto “pack land” to help her search anyway, and yes, you’re coming with her. They step into the tree line together. Will he pin her to the wall or protect her first?

Desires of the Dark Forest

Desires of the Dark Forest

Anne Onymous

The Dark Forest has always whispered to her—a pull she can’t ignore. Becoming a Hunter should mean slaying the creatures hidden in its shadows, but when she steps inside, the truth feels far more dangerous. These monsters don’t run from her… they reach for her. And their touch feels less like a threat and more like a promise. Each step draws her deeper, not just into the Forest, but into a web of longing, secrets, and a hunger she can’t name. What if she wasn’t called here to kill at all? What if the Forest wants her for something far more intoxicating—and far more impossible to escape?

Sinful Secrets

Sinful Secrets

Cosmic Chaos

Good girl, Danny, has always played it safe. But when she struggles to find a job after college, she ends up accepting a job at her friend's fetish club, Sinful Secret. There she discovers a whole new world of freedom and release, as well as hunky Dom, Evan. But past traumas aren't ready to let her go just yet. Could Danny's newfound freedom and power be in jeopardy?

The Neighborly Thing to Do Book 1: Neighborly

The Neighborly Thing to Do Book 1: Neighborly

Al Holland

Lara is really coming into her own. She has a great job, wonderful friends, and a fantastic new apartment. There is one caveat; her neighbour across the hall is her own personal demon, no doubt put here to make her life hell. Worse than that? She can't seem to stay away from him.

Animus

Animus

Ophelia Bell

An ancient temple. Seven explorers. And eight dragons to rule them all.

When Erika and her team of archaeologists break the seal on the temple they’ve been hunting, they unwittingly take the first step in a series of rituals designed to revive the long-sleeping denizens inside. Now, with every breath they take, they inhale air steeped in dragon magic—and perfumed with otherworldly, irresistible desire.

Erika wants nothing more than to prove she’s still in control. But when she sets her sights on the figure she is meant to awaken—a red dragon bound in the form of a beautiful man frozen in jade—her resolve is truly put to the test.

And that’s when the ambitious, pent-up expedition leader begins to think: Maybe losing control wouldn’t be so bad, after all…

Scarred Luna

Scarred Luna

Ahanaa Rose

Kara was considered damaged goods in her pack, facing judgment and exclusion after her parent's death. As their connection deepens, they soon realize that their families hold dark secrets that threaten to tear them apart. Will Kara and Zain be able to unravel the mysteries of their past and find a way to forge a future together? Join them on an adventure filled with love, loyalty, and the quest for truth.

When tempers flare and secrets start to crack, one look from the wrong pair of green eyes might ignite everything she’s tried so hard to hide.
