Blame It on Paris

Blame It on Paris

by Aimee Ginger

Anelise Morgan was trying to break free from the sheltered life that her parents had raised her in. She was in college spreading her wings, growing and becoming her own person. She was even lucky enough to find a best friend and surrogate family to help guide her and love her. She felt like the world was just waiting for her to experience it. Michael Whitlock was desperate for help with his son. So when his neighbors offered their daughter as an option, he jumped on the idea. He had no idea what was in store for him when he saw her the first time. She was nothing like pictures at her parent’s home and he was awestruck by the sight before him. All he knew was that his heart had never beat the way it had been since he laid eyes on her.

Sweet Temptation

Sweet Temptation

by Merra Gischan

Beta Xavier Costa

Beta Xavier Costa

by Amina Hazim

“What is this?” Eleanor whispered, her voice trembling as she gazed up at Xavier, her eyes glistening with unshed tears.

“Can’t you see? It’s a mating contract agreement,” Xavier replied, his tone devoid of warmth as he looked at her—the woman destined to share his life. Eleanor felt a wave of anxiety wash over her, as if the walls were closing in, amplifying the weight of the moment.

Eleanor never expected to be bound by a six-month mating contract, especially not with Xavier, a man she’s only just met. After losing her mother, she’d held on to the hope that love would find her again, but now she’s facing a forced union with a man whose past is shrouded in mystery and pain. The contract is meant to be temporary, but as Eleanor and Xavier are thrust together, the walls between them grow, and the intensity of their bond is tested. Will they learn to love each other, or will the weight of secrets and unresolved trauma tear them apart?
