Natalie Roche

“You’ve been a good girl all your life, Jamie.”

My heart was pounding, and he had me totally lost for words.

“Why don’t you do yourself a favor and allow the Bad Girl to come out and play? I will pleasure her like she’s never been pleasured before.”

Mason Knight. A billionaire heartthrob with looks that make women stop and stare as he walks by. Jamie had always told herself she’d never be one of “those” women who fell for her boss. But then, she’d never had someone like Mason set his sights on her…

Alpha's Unwilling Mate

Alpha's Unwilling Mate

Elle Chipp

Emma is the daughter of a beta and head of the kitchens in the Silver Dawn Pack. She’s been hoping for five years that she will meet her mate, but when she finally does, he is not what she expected. Orion is the notorious alpha of the Blood Moon Pack, known for taking over packs with a wave of his hand, his brutal temper, and a complete lack of mercy. He takes whatever he wants, and Emma is no exception. But to his surprise, Emma tries to reject him. Infuriated by her audacity, Orion gives her a choice: either Emma joins his pack as his mate or he takes over the Silver Dawn pack—by force.

Owned by the Alphas

Owned by the Alphas

Jen Cooper

Nikolai. Braxton. Derik. Three alphas who have pledged to protect the humans in their territory. All they ask in return is one night with the virgins of the villages, one night to take them under the blood moon and complete the ritual. This year is Lorelai’s turn. A winter born, cursed—or blessed—with powers rarely seen, Lorelai has been shunned by the other villagers her whole life. Once she’s taken to the wolves’ mansion, she takes matters into her own hands. After all, what if one night just isn’t enough?

Sweet Temptation

Sweet Temptation

Merra Gischan

This stunning woman with her mesmerizing eyes. She’s lucky her friend arrived, or else I might have taken her straight to bed, making her moan and plead. A not so gentle reminder for her to lock her door, especially when she is planning on baking barely dressed.

Without a doubt, she's what I'd desirably refer to as my sweet temptation.

The Irish Syndicate Book 1: Our Wicked Cravings

The Irish Syndicate Book 1: Our Wicked Cravings

M. L. Smith

"You have always been mine.”

Mina never expected to see her stepbrother again—let alone like this. But when she steps into a secretive club, she walks straight into the arms of the one man who's been watching from the shadows… and waiting to make her his. Ronan, the ruthless head of Boston’s crime syndicate, doesn’t just want her—he owns her now. Years of silent obsession have built to this moment, and he won’t let anything—or anyone—stand between them. As enemies circle and the syndicate teeters on the edge, one thing’s clear: he’s not letting her go, no matter how dark things get.

The Drake Twins

The Drake Twins

Rowan Cody

They used to make her life miserable—every taunt, every smirk, every stolen moment meant to break her down. But growing up didn’t erase the magnetic pull she’s always felt toward the Drake twins. Now, seven years later, they’re back in her world—older, darker, and twice as tempting. Their arrogance is still there, but so is something new flickering behind those wicked eyes. Desire. Challenge. A dangerous game she swore she’d never play again. She tells herself she should walk away, but the truth is she’s never been good at resisting them—or the delicious kind of chaos they bring.

Grayson

Grayson

Lisa Seven

Kassia's life takes a dramatic turn when she meets her new stepbrother, Grayson. Instantly captivated by his commanding presence, she finds herself navigating an uncharted sea of emotions. A chance encounter transforms their dynamic, leaving Kassia at the mercy of a growing attraction that defies all rules. Torn between what she feels and what she knows is forbidden, Kassia must decide if she’s ready to cross the line—or risk losing everything.

Stockholm Syndrome

Stockholm Syndrome

Vivienne Wren

“You’re looking for good in a bad man. That’s a dangerous thing to do.”

Zara is trapped, tied, and desperate to escape. The men holding her are ruthless, but it’s their leader who unsettles her most. He’s sharp, cold, unreadable—and the only one she can’t look away from. Every stolen glance chips at her resolve, every dangerous word pulls her deeper into the storm. She knows it’s reckless to search for softness in someone built of shadows, but her heart won’t listen. The lines between fear and longing blur until she can’t tell where danger ends and desire begins. Survival demands distance, yet every moment close to him feels like a secret she’s not ready to give up. Is she falling for her captor—or is she just losing herself?

Keily

Keily

Manjari

Her: The fat girl nervously starting her senior year at a new school.

Him: The brooding football jock who takes the seat next to her.

He notices her checking him out and leans in. She can feel his warmth against her. He places a finger under her chin, turning her to stare into his gorgeous eyes.

“What are you looking at, Piggy?”

Fighting for Freedom

Fighting for Freedom

Evelyn Miller

Kenzie Scott’s world is already falling apart—her parents are divorcing, and nothing feels steady anymore. The last thing she expects is to get tangled up with Clay Helms, the school’s most notorious bad boy. He’s an underground fighter with a bruised soul and a short fuse. When Kenzie stands up to him, something shifts. And when she shows up at one of his fights, everything changes. As their bond deepens, both are forced to face the pain they’ve buried. But love doesn’t fix everything. Sometimes, it just gives you a reason to fight harder.

Study Buddy Part 1

Study Buddy Part 1

Jen Cooper

Amelia Parker is quiet, cautious, and completely unprepared for college parties—or people. But a promise to her late twin sends her straight into chaos... and into the orbit of Zeke Evans. He’s loud, hot, and perpetually one missed grade away from losing his scholarship. They strike a deal: he’ll be her guide to college life, and she’ll be his tutor. But what starts as tutoring turns into teasing, late-night texts, and unexpected lessons in way more than chemistry. Amelia may be inexperienced, but she’s no pushover. And Zeke? He might just be learning something new—like what it feels like when one girl flips your whole game.

Captive of the Snake King

Captive of the Snake King

Raven Flanagan

A powerless bastard daughter of the Mage Emperor is sent in the place of her missing elder sister as a decoy bride for a neighboring king. They need his army to win a war against the invading kingdom to the south, but he'll only send aid for a queen.

The princess is taken the wrong way and winds up in the presence of a southern enemy soldier. After days in endless battle, the soldier wants nothing more than to return to his camp and return to winning the war, but the tempting princess is making the journey torturous.

Selene is promised to the gods, meant to become a priestess when her sister is found and rightfully married to the northern king. She questions everything she knows, including her feelings, when she learns who the enemy soldier really is. And by the time he learns that she's not the true born princess, and she's really the powerless daughter, it's too late for his heart as well.

Mayhem Six: The Escaped Con's Hostage

Addison Sweet

Nataly flees an abusive stepfather with her baby sister and a vow to never fall for toxic men again. Hours later, an escaped convict takes them hostage. His plan is simple and terrifying: keep them close until he crosses the border. The danger escalates when Nataly learns he is not just a criminal on the run, but the crime boss of a ruthless organization. Cold, lethal, and covered in death-themed tattoos, he should be everything she fears. Yet under his control, she feels safer than ever before. On the road, fear blurs into desire, rules start to crack, and Nataly must decide if trusting her captor is survival—or the most dangerous mistake of her life.

Infinity

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?
