Then You Look At Me

Tiffanyluvss

Rainey has a past she tells no one, secrets she wishes not to share. She’s viewed as the bad girl, but there’s more to her than what meets the eye. After an incident tarnishes her reputation at Freetown High, Rainey transfers to Crosshill High in hope of a fresh start. Ansel isn’t your typical bad boy. He's seen as a good guy with good grades. He’s quiet, reserved, and mysterious. But Rainey can tell that he’s not as innocent as he appears. An awkward exchange of eye contact from Rainey’s locker mirror begins a thrilling love story of two teens who find comfort in each other but struggle to overcome their secrets and scars. It’s a love story that presents a whirlwind of emotions, jealous antagonists, and obstacles that test their abilities.

Then she meets Lloyd—dark, brooding, and infuriatingly convinced she’s a threat. He wants nothing to do with her, but fate has other plans.

FGI 8: From Chaos and Madness

F. R. Black

When the universe is on the verge of collapse, who better to save it than...a shy girl and a Fairy Godfather on his last leg? Pierce, once the star player of Fairy Godmother Inc., is now fading fast, and the enemy’s trap threatens to tear reality apart. April? Well, she’s got one job: drag Pierce back from the brink—easier said than done when "Plan A" consists of a whole lot of stubborn hope.

That’s not an option—unless you’re okay with eternal darkness.

Riders of Tyr

Riders of Tyr

Adelina Jaden

If Vikings lived today, they would all be Riders of Tyr, bikers of Swedish descent. Tall, dark, and hairy Bjorn is a purebred modern-day Viking and a member of the Riders of Tyr. When he took on the job of getting the VP of a rival MC out of the way, he never expected her. If Amazons lived today, Ava would be one of them. Tall, dark, and fierce, she is a fearless bounty hunter who goes after the grand prize. What she never saw coming was him.

Probed

Probed

G. M. Marks

Lucy has been abducted from her bed and subjected to dreadful extraterrestrial instruments that explore and molest her most delicate regions.

She knows nothing but fear—for the alien scientist with the shielded face and long white hair, and his little grey “helpers” with their disturbingly inquisitive fingers. Stranded in the vast emptiness of space, she has nowhere to run and no one to trust... least of all the enigmatic alien studying her.

But beneath the face shield is someone Lucy never expected.

Beautiful, intelligent and dangerously sensual, he is far more than his sterile laboratory suggests. And as fear gives way to fascination—and fascination to something neither of them can resist—scientist and subject begin an experiment of an entirely different kind.

With hearts and bodies firmly intertwined, they may discover more about their two species than any probe ever could.

Chained: Las Vegas Bastards

Chained: Las Vegas Bastards

Sarah N. Fox

She swore she left the darkness behind—new name, new life, clean slate. But Vegas doesn’t forgive or forget. The city’s kings—five ruthless brothers who own every inch of its glittering chaos—just claimed her as theirs. They want answers. Control. Maybe even her surrender. Each look sparks fury, each touch blurs the line between danger and desire. She’s fought monsters before, but this time the battlefield is her own heartbeat. Because surviving the devil once was hard enough… surviving five who make her burn might be impossible.
