Now she’s broke, haunted by the past, and stuck cleaning up after three infuriatingly hot, infuriatingly powerful guys headed to an elite magic academy. She counted the days till they left. Then her own letter arrived. Now Larissa’s stepping into a school filled with nightmares, secrets, and monsters that wear heartbreakingly beautiful faces. Her shadows will protect her—but these boys? They might just destroy her... or fall with her. Either way, she’s not going quietly.

Sold to the Alpha

Sold to the Alpha

Kelsie Tate

As she cast a glance over her shoulder, her breath hitched. There he stood. The king.

The air caught in her lungs as their eyes met, a spark flaring in the depths of his gaze.

“Servant,” he said, his voice icy. Her internal wolf surged, screaming one word…

“Mate.”

When Autumn Blackthorne’s parents die, leaving behind a mountain of debt, she is forced to become an indentured servant to the fearsome King Elijah. When she meets the king himself, her inner wolf screams that she has met her mate. But can the alpha king ever see her as more than a maid?

Annalise Miller never imagined her boss would propose—especially not like this. As the executive assistant to one of New York’s most powerful men, she’s spent years keeping his life in order. Now, he wants her to be his wife. No love, just convenience. A partnership of power and luxury. But as their engagement unfolds, Annalise starts to see cracks in the perfect billionaire façade. His past is darker than she expected, and the closer she gets, the harder it is to ignore. Can she marry a man who doesn’t believe in love, or will his secrets send her running before she ever says “I do”?

Lost Lycan's Mate

Lost Lycan's Mate

A. K. Glandt

I stared in awe at the beautiful creature before me.

A Lycan, here in my Pack. This couldn’t be happening.

The Lycans were driven extinct centuries ago. Yet here he was, and I couldn’t fight the magnetic pull dragging me toward him.

He took a step closer to my father, who was standing protectively in front of me. “You have something of mine, and I want it back.”

“Oh yeah? What?” My father snarled.

The Lycan looked straight at me.

“My mate.”

Cleo has lived her entire life without her wolf, and she’s accepted that she doesn’t have one. But when she meets her mate, a long-lost Lycan king, she feels an awakening that will change her life forever.

Alpha's Servant

Danielle Jaggan

How could I not feel his presence behind me? His features were molded from granite and every part of him screamed danger. Our eyes connected and I saw desire, confusion, anger…lust. With lightning speed I was lifted up and thrown onto his bed. I felt his lips brush against mine, then all of a sudden they were gone. “What have you done to me?” he growled.

Skylar is a slave to the dreaded Alpha Ares, a killing machine with no remorse. Until Sklyer walks into his chamber to feed him dinner, that is. From that moment on he can’t forget her scent, and everything starts to change. For both of them…

Luca is magnetic, controlled, and wrapped in rumors that make sensible women step back. Elizabeth does the opposite. She resists him with sharp wit and steady resolve, even as his focus never wavers. Drawn into a glittering world where loyalty is fragile and trust is earned the hard way, Elizabeth feels the pull between her instincts and her heart. As tension rises and secrets start to surface, every choice carries weight. Desire simmers, danger circles closer, and one promise changes everything. How far can resistance go when walking away is no longer an option?

Every step toward the altar feels like a betrayal. But Rose isn’t made of silk and sighs—she’s steel beneath the sorrow.

Mikayla S

I met my mate as a child.

I was lost in the woods, and his calming voice guided me to safety without ever revealing himself.

Since then, he’s watched over me but never showed himself. I yearn to touch him, to hold him.

Yet still, he lurks in the shadows, never claiming me.

I wonder if there’s something wrong with me. Am I not good enough for him?

But then, when I turn 21, I’m attacked by rogues and left for dead. As I feel the life drain from my body, a creature appears on the edge of my blurry vision.

“Stay strong, little mate. You’re mine now.”

As the mate bond surges between us, I know he’s not a wolf.

He’s something older… Darker… Deadlier.

Who the hell is my mate?

And what will happen to me now?
