The Fraternity

Ronja T. Lejonhjärta

Harley thought she hit the jackpot with four platonic male friends in college. But when she finds out all they want from her is her honey pot, it starts her down a path of vengeance. She’ll give them what they want—then rip it away. It’s what they deserve. Or is it? As she plays with their hearts and minds, Harley wrestles with the growing realization that maybe it was her who jumped the gun. Do these guys truly feel the way they claim? She is determined to find out, one way or another. And if she has to break a few hearts along the way, then so be it. But what if it’s her own heart that she’s breaking?

Chestnut Valley Ranch

Ronja T. Lejonhjärta

Gabby lives light and loose, drifting from place to place with no ties and no plans to stay. It suits her just fine, until one charged night flips her world and sends her toward a ranch she never expected to call home. Jax runs that ranch with his two best friends, juggling responsibility, loyalty, and feelings he didn’t see coming. As daily life settles into muddy boots, shared space, and slow-burning tension, both are pushed to face what they usually run from. While the land grows strong and steady, hearts are tested, routines are shaken, and unexpected tenderness sneaks in. It’s a story about finding footing, choosing to stay, and wondering if love can grow in the most surprising soil.

Between Breaths

Between Breaths

A. Duncan

Arabella is not exactly thriving. Life feels heavy, stress is her sidekick, and now her health is acting up too. But then along comes a certain personal trainer—annoyingly charming, maddeningly good-looking, and somehow making her laugh again. With her best friend cheering her on and a few unexpected sparks flying, Arabella starts to remember what it feels like to live. But when her health takes a sharp turn, she’s forced to face choices no one wants to make. Between fear and fire, joy and heartbreak, Arabella must figure out what really matters—and if she’s ready to fight for it. Sometimes love doesn’t fix everything… but it might just make it worth it.

Rachael Stitchy

Caught between three powerful rulers who move through the world like they own every shadow, Marla fights to keep her voice steady and her heart guarded. Their attention is intense, consuming, and far too focused on her. She refuses to be treated like a prize, yet their pull wraps around her with a heat she can’t quite shake. Each king brings a different kind of danger, and together they push her toward a fate she never asked for. But Marla is no quiet plaything. As their world closes in, she rises with fire of her own, ready to claim her place instead of being claimed.

Vegas Bad Boy

Vegas Bad Boy

Mandy M.

Las Vegas isn’t called Sin City just for the glitz and glamour. There’s a darker side to Vegas—one that’s riddled with Mafia and loan sharks.

Vinny Markizo and his family operate at its dark, beating heart. And unfortunately for Sidney, he’s got his eyes set firmly on her.

Under a Vengeful Sky

Under a Vengeful Sky

S. A. Elodie

She rides through the wild frontier with nothing but fury in her chest and a target on her back. Clara is an outlaw shaped by loss, driven by a fire she refuses to put out. Jasper is the U.S. Marshal who finds her half-broken but still burning bright. He wants to save her; she wants revenge. Neither expects the spark that flares when their worlds clash. As danger closes in and every choice pulls them deeper together, they face a truth neither dares to say aloud: the line between chasing justice and falling for the wrong person is getting dangerously thin.

Wanting the Man

Wanting the Man

Maree O'Brien

J. B.

Samantha's life was simple, until it wasn't.

She's a werewolf destined to be the next Alpha of her pack. Struggling with her new identity, Samantha faces a heart-wrenching decision: embrace her destiny and abandon her old life, or turn away from the world she’s only just discovered. Each male wolf in her pack offers something valuable, but everything comes with a price, and trust is hard to come by. As she navigates this conflicted path, Samantha's boldness grows. Yet so do her doubts and fears. Can she rise to the challenge of leadership, or will the cost of fate's decree be too high for her to bear?

Sharing Delilah

Alex Fox

The Villain Origins: The Dragon And The Fae

The Villain Origins: The Dragon And The Fae

Taryn Tary

"I’ll be damned if I fall for your charms, fae…”

Ryke, the fierce king of dragons, wants blood. A faerie killed one of his own, and vengeance is all he craves. So when a faerie burning for the same revenge stumbles into his territory, he seizes her as his prisoner. Deals are struck, magic seals their fates, and suddenly enemies find themselves bound tighter than either expected.

Their every clash is fire and fury—a dance of blades, wings, and words sharp enough to cut. But hate has a way of twisting into something far more dangerous when desire sparks in its place. As danger closes in, Ryke and his unwilling captive must decide: cling to revenge, or surrender to the fate that binds them… even if love turns out to be the deadliest risk of all.

There are obstacles in his way, one of which is the scandal his father left behind and a will with certain demands. Behind the scenes he is a man on edge, and only one woman sees the truth hidden beneath his strong will and dominant rule. Bella is somehow demanding and submissive, fiery and yet sweet. She can give him everything he wants, she just doesn't know it, not yet, but she will. If she'll just say yes and sign on the dotted line.
