Ice Cold Alpha

Ice Cold Alpha

by Michelle Torlot

Alpha Thomas Shadowborne hasn’t stepped into the spotlight since losing his mate—until his pack acquires the Ridgewood Howlers, a scandal-prone hockey team made up of mixed shifters. He’s only supposed to show up for one game. He doesn’t even like hockey. But when a star player knocks Raven Stormwood to the ground, Thomas can’t look away. Raven’s a hybrid—half human, half wolf—and no one has ever claimed her as worth fighting for. Not her father. Not her mate. But Alpha Shadowborne sees something no one else does. And his wolf is done staying silent. Things are about to get complicated... and delicious.

Cold, lethal, and covered in death-themed tattoos, he should be everything she fears. Yet under his control, she feels safer than ever before.

Stolen

by Alexis Anneb

All the Wrong Signs

by Rowan Cody

Riley is fresh from a divorce, a little lost, and dabbling in Wicca for a spark of the woman she used to be. One night, with a little too much liquid courage, she ends up with a tattoo that’s all wrong—wrong symbol, wrong magic, wrong summoning. Now she’s accidentally unleashed Blaze, a dangerously charming demon prince who’s been locked away for centuries. He’s free as long as she keeps him near… and he’s determined to make sure she does. What starts as a magical mishap turns into a battle of wits, willpower, and wicked temptation—because this demon isn’t just trouble, he’s trouble she can’t stop thinking about.

The Rogue Series 1: The Rogue Alpha

The Rogue Series 1: The Rogue Alpha

by Gemma Rue

“You pack wolves all fight the same,” I mock. He’s tall, strong, and an alpha. Even Rogues know not to fight an Alpha. But I’m no regular Rogue.

“Is that so?” His muscles strain against his shirt.

My gaze traces his body. I linger a moment too long. A fist pushes against me. I grab his wrist. We fall with a thud. Our bodies pressed together.

“If you wanted me on top of you, all you had to do was ask.”

When fate forces a rogue and alpha together, will they be able to set aside their differences and give love a chance?

My Sexy Stepbrother is a Werebear

My Sexy Stepbrother is a Werebear

by Kelly Lord

My sexy-ass stepbrother is going to be the death of me.

When my mom decided to marry his hillbilly dad, I was pissed.

I mean, their woodsy cabin doesn’t even have Wi-Fi. Not kidding.

But then I actually met my new stepbrother, Sam. And fuck… He’s totally hot. And into me.

Which is totally gross. Even if his abs are to die for. And his smile is amazing. And he’s good with his hands. And who am I kidding? He’s an adonis.

It’s no surprise that, after our parents’ wedding, we slipped up and ended up making out on the living room floor. Now I’m screwed. I’m addicted to his sculpted body.

And that was before I learned his furry secret.

Who would have known the beast between his legs wasn’t the only surprise in store?

His gaze has followed her for months, stirring something she can’t ignore. Now, she’s drawn into a game of stolen glances and unspoken promises, where every touch could mean heartbreak or surrender. In this world, love and war play by the same ruthless rules—and she’s not sure which side she’s on.

Taken By The Mafia

Taken By The Mafia

by Annie Whipple

“Good morning, bella mia.”

He brought my earlobe into his mouth. It felt incredible, but I didn't want to give him the satisfaction, so I kept my eyes shut.

“I know you’re awake, Freya,” He kissed my neck. “Not gonna open your eyes? Okay, let’s play…”

I felt him move so that he was on top of me. I instinctively spread my legs just a little so the most dangerous mafia don in the country could slide his body between them.

When Freya wakes up in an Italian villa next to a gorgeous stranger, she has no idea how she got there. As she examines the mysterious Greek god of a man next to her, she tries to remember… was he an innocent one-night stand? Or something else?

Capture Me

Capture Me

by Daphne Watson

“Spread your legs.” His icy tone left no room for debate.

I let out an involuntary groan as his rough fingers slid inside me, sending goosebumps down my spine. I was already soaking wet for him.

“N-no…,” I begged, coming to my senses.

He leaned in until I could smell the mint on his breath.

“No?” He chuckled. “Oh my dear, I don’t think you understand how this works yet…”

The last thing Katherine expects when she moves to London is to cross paths with billionaire mafioso Xavier Lexington. Powerful, dark, and deadly, he wants Katherine all for himself.

Alpha Kaden

Alpha Kaden

by Midika Crane

He suddenly lurches forward, grabs my arm, and pushes me up against the wall, one hand holding my wrists above my head. The other pushes my hips against the wall.

“Don’t play me, Mara! Not when I’m seriously considering either slitting your throat or ripping your clothes off,” he hisses.

His lips are so close to mine that I feel his breath dance on my skin.

He lets go of me and pushes me into my room.

“Punishment starts tomorrow,” he growls.

Mara is not like others in her pack. She isn’t afraid of the cursed hooded alpha who lurks in the shadows. One night, however, as she sleeps soundlessly in her bed, Alpha Kaden himself kidnaps her. He drags her into a world of secrets and evil, far away from everything she’s ever known. Will Alpha Kaden turn Mara into a monster just like him? Or will she help him find the light once more?
