The Glassblower's Heart: Royal Romance

The Glassblower's Heart: Royal Romance

by P. J. Williams

Emilia grows up in a quiet village, shaping glass and a simple life with the woman who raised her. She never questions where she comes from—until a chance encounter with a charming prince turns her world upside down. Drawn into a glittering court filled with whispers and watchful eyes, Emilia finds herself caught between tender new feelings and rising tension she cannot quite understand. Not everyone welcomes her presence, and jealousy begins to stir beneath polished smiles. As secrets flicker just out of reach, Emilia senses that her story is far bigger than she ever imagined. Because sometimes love is only the beginning… and destiny is waiting to be claimed.

Taken By The Tribe

Taken By The Tribe

by Dzenisa Jas

He placed a finger under her chin and lifted her face so she was gazing up at him.

“Please,” she sobbed. “Let me go.”

A cruel sneer graced his godlike features as he smirked down at his captive.

He gripped her chin and leaned down until she could feel his warmth penetrate her.

“You are mine. Forever.”

Black Hollow 1: Spellbound Luna

Black Hollow 1: Spellbound Luna

by 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?

This presents a problem for her and for Wyatt—the first-born son of the Lunar Pack, next in line to be their King—who is Milly’s fated mate. When danger in the form of rogues, witches, and the Blood Moon Pack threaten Milly, Wyatt, and their families, they must fight together to save everyone. Will they save each other, too?

Christmas Spirits

Christmas Spirits

by Daphne Anders

Kate lives for Christmas. As her small town’s go-to planner, she thrives on lights, cheer, and making holiday magic happen. This year’s gala is her biggest project yet—but her perfect plans hit a snag when her Santa falls through. Enter Nate, her ruggedly handsome neighbor who wants nothing to do with mistletoe or merriment. He’s grumpy, guarded, and definitely not the holiday hero she had in mind. But when Kate convinces him to step in, sparks begin to fly beneath the twinkling lights. She’s sugar and sparkle, he’s shadows and scars—and somehow, together, they might just stumble into the most unexpected gift of all: a love that feels like Christmas magic.

Rinkside Rivalry

Rinkside Rivalry

by Bella Ravyn

Emery lands her dream assignment covering a high-stakes hockey season, ready to prove she belongs. The only problem? Carter, the team’s arrogant co-captain, who pushes every button she has. Their history is messy, their banter sharp, and their patience with each other… nonexistent. Yet the closer they work, the harder it becomes to ignore the tension crackling beneath every glare and sarcastic remark. Between locker room chaos, late-night deadlines, and moments that feel a little too real, lines begin to blur. Is it rivalry, or something far more dangerous? Because on this ice, the biggest risk isn’t losing the game—it’s losing control of their hearts.
