B. E. Harmel

Barbara was rejected, cast out, and forged herself into a weapon. Feared across packs, she now returns to the territory she vowed to avoid, summoned by Alastor, the Alpha who broke her heart. Old wounds sting, but the mate bond between them refuses to die. As war closes in and secrets surface, desire flares hotter than ever, pulling them together against their will.

C.l.o.x.a.

(🌶️18+🌶️) Savannah "Sav" Carter is a sharp, ambitious writer—stuck with a nightmare assignment: covering hockey, a sport she knows nothing about. Stressed and desperate for an escape, she hits a bar for a night of fun and ends up in bed with a cocky, irresistible stranger. No names, no attachments. Or so she thought. The next morning, she walks into her first interview—only to find Wes Dalton, star forward and the man she slept with, smirking right at her. As she struggles to keep things professional, she’s drawn to Nolan Reed, the team’s brooding, no-nonsense defenseman who sees right through her. Trapped between Wes’s teasing arrogance and Nolan’s quiet intensity, Sav’s assignment spirals into a dangerous game of desire, blurred lines, and a choice she never expected to make. Career or pleasure? Lust or something more?

The Emperor's Wildflower

“Curtsy again and I’ll make you dance with me.” Emperor Bastian is supposed to pick a bride like he’s choosing dessert. Instead, he slips into the garden and catches a woman in emerald silk trying to disappear.

Then the emperor shows up in the roses, takes Julia’s hand like he owns it, and looks offended that she’s breathing without his permission (rude… and annoyingly hot). He calls her “interesting” like it’s a threat, asks for a dance like it’s a command, and you’ll be sitting there thinking, girl, run… while also begging her not to. A footman clears his throat. “His Imperial Majesty requests Lady Julia Weismar for the next waltz.”

Well… too late.

She thought their marriage would last forever. That she could count on him to be her partner. She was wrong.

Six months ago, Stacey kicked her lying husband out of their bed. They made promises to each other. Promises that didn’t include lonely nights and lonelier days missing the man who slept on the couch. Something had to give. She knew that as sure as she knew her former client’s death was murder.

Wray’s nights under the same roof as his wife and sons were numbered. Every time he left, he wondered if she’d change the locks while he was at the fire station. He couldn’t change the past, but he hoped they still had a shot at a future. Until she tells him it’s over.
