Smoke & Shadow Book 1: Alpha Julian

Smoke & Shadow Book 1: Alpha Julian

by D. L. Jae

Alpha Julian doesn’t train distractions—but Madison storms into his world with curves, chaos, and zero respect for rules. She’s his recruit. Off-limits. And utterly impossible to ignore. When a routine Dragon run turns into a fiery accident, their bond ignites—literally. Now she’s more than a recruit—she’s his rider, his obsession, his constant challenge. Julian was meant to mold her into a warrior, not crave her like a forbidden flame. But Madison’s attitude sparks something wild in him... something primal. He can’t look away. Can’t stay away. And when the heat finally explodes, no one’s walking away unburned.

The Devil's Daughter

The Devil's Daughter

by Ophelia Bell

I never imagined myself as a pawn in a dangerous game between two crime lords. But that was before I discovered I’m secretly one of their daughters, and suddenly I’m not just a girl, but an asset in need of protecting.

At least two of my new guard dogs are Ben and Baz, a pair of twins I grew up with—and wow, have they grown. Not only do they handle security for Drake Stavros—the sexy, haunted billionaire whose tower I’m forced to occupy for the duration of this cartel blood feud–but they’ve gotten hotter too, brooding sentinels covered in muscles and tattoos.

Drake is supposed to be using his near-limitless resources to keep me safe, with the twins there to make sure he follows through. But I’m beginning to realize the danger I’m in isn’t limited to the world outside as desires darker than my criminal bloodlines awaken within me, threatening to undo us all.

Author’s Note: “The Devil’s Daughter” is a reverse-harem romance.

Secrets deepen, trust gets tested, and every choice feels heavier than the last. Ashton and Sydnee must face more than just their pasts. Because sometimes the biggest risk is not the danger around you… it’s the person standing right in front of you.
