Arri Stone

Lacey lives and breathes hockey. As coach and manager of the Red Tornados, she’s fighting to keep the season—and her team—alive. Desperate for a turnaround, she brings in Riley: a legendary player with a reputation for trouble and a temper as sharp as his skating. He’s exactly what they need… and exactly what she doesn’t. Working together should be about saving the Tornados, but the rink turns tension into temptation. Between brutal practices, stubborn pride, and chemistry neither can outrun, Lacey and Riley skate a dangerous line between strategy and desire. Winning is the goal—unless they lose their hearts first.

After six long years away, Evelyn is back—and her timing couldn’t be worse. She’s home for her best friend’s mating ceremony, but the past is waiting for her at every turn.

Old heartbreak. Fresh betrayals. And a magnetic new pull she never saw coming. The pack she left behind holds more than just memories—it’s tangled up in secrets that could shatter everything.

With danger closing in and power plays at every corner, Evelyn’s not just fighting for her place in the pack… she’s fighting for her heart. But when the lines between devotion and obsession blur, will she have the strength to choose what’s right—or just what feels impossible to resist?

Midika Crane

Alpha Faye is the only female Alpha to exist, and that makes her a target. Assassins known as Silents want her dead, and a Huntsman is hired to protect her. But when a rogue Silent sneaks into her room, everything changes. Instead of fear, she feels a pull—an attraction that could cost her everything. As betrayals unravel and hidden motives come to light, Faye finds herself caught between the man sworn to protect her and the man who tried to kill her. But in a world where nothing is as it seems, the real danger isn’t the battle—it’s trusting the wrong heart.

The Composed Heart

Amelia lives quietly, hiding her extraordinary gift behind dusty piano keys and the safe walls of a small music shop. The world feels too loud, and her past too heavy, to chase the spotlight. Then a renowned musician hears her play and instantly recognizes the brilliance she tries to bury. With one bold invitation, her life opens into dazzling cities, grand stages, and emotions she never planned for. As music pulls her into a wider world, a passionate connection begins to grow, filled with intensity, wonder, and unexpected vulnerability. When melodies turn into something deeper, Amelia must decide how much of her heart she is ready to share.

She thought she had it all—until a lunch delivery turned into heartbreak. Catching her husband with his assistant shatters her world, but in the wreckage, she finds something unexpected: comfort in the arms of someone she never saw coming—his brother. Emotions spiral. Lines blur. And soon, sparks fly where they absolutely shouldn’t. With three brothers tangled in one woman’s story, the past isn’t done with her yet, and neither is desire. Can something real grow from all this chaos—or is she heading straight for a second heartbreak?

S. L. Adams

Dr. Shelby Richardson is living the life she always dreamed of. A lavish life in New York City, far away from Montana and her impoverished childhood.

Years of therapy provided her with the strength and tools to prevent another nervous breakdown. Before she can make any decisions about her future plans, she must overcome one more hurdle. The Hawaiian wedding of her best friend, Gretchen. To Blake Remington, owner of Remington’s Reindeer Lodge and best friend of Alex Benson. The boy who broke her heart twelve years ago. As the wedding party embarks on a five-day cruise to Hawaii, Shelby and Alex call a truce, agreeing to be civil for the sake of the bride and groom.

After all, when they first met, she hurled water at him, and he kicked her out of his hotel, thinking the worst of her and her sister.

But now that she has something he desperately wants, he would stop at nothing to get it. The problem was that in this power game, they were not alone.

Maybe they hated each other, but they both loved and wanted the same thing.

Will this be enough to make her Draco's bride?

Megan Blake

But when a gorgeous stranger shows up on her porch claiming he’s about to turn into a werewolf, her quiet night goes feral fast. One pair of fuzzy pink handcuffs, a few sharp fangs, and way too much bare skin later, she’s trapped in the dark with more than just danger. Now Lina has to decide if helping him survive the night will save her sanity—or spark the wildest, most reckless connection she’s ever felt. Halloween’s supposed to be scary… but no one warned her it might also be scorching.
