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?

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.

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.

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.

The Blue Ice Series 1: Beneath the Blue Ice

The Blue Ice Series 1: Beneath the Blue Ice

Donna Richards

Natasha thought she left her old crush behind when she moved away, but fate drags her back to Boston—and right into the same apartment as her best friend’s cocky hockey-playing brother. Layson has always been off-limits, but the way he looks at her now makes rules feel like nothing but fragile glass. He’s the star everyone wants, with a smirk that can melt ice, but with Natasha, something shifts—something deeper, something dangerous. She’s the quiet girl with sapphire eyes and a guarded heart, yet she makes him feel like he’s losing control. With desire sparking and boundaries blurring, can they resist what’s building between them, or will their story rewrite itself under the stars?

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.

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?”

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.

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?

Mason

Mason

Zainab Sambo

“What are you willing to do to get what you want, Ms. Hart?”

I looked up at him, those stormy grey eyes devoid of emotion. My heart pounded in my chest, my throat dry with fear. He was offering me everything I needed so desperately. But what would it cost me?

“I won’t ask again.”

I closed my eyes and signed away my soul to the most dangerous man in England.

“Anything.”

Mason Campbell is cold, hard, and unapologetic. He’s envied by men and wanted by women. Lauren Hart has just landed a job as his assistant and is constantly on the receiving end of his hatred. Unfortunately, Mason doesn’t have eyes for anyone but Lauren and is about to make her an offer she can’t refuse.

The Arrangement

The Arrangement

S. S. Sahoo

Xavier Knight knows the two things guaranteed to turn a girl on: fast cars and money. He has both. When a scandal forces him into an arranged marriage with Angela Carson, a penniless nobody, he assumes she’s a gold digger—and vows to punish her for it. But appearances are deceiving, and sometimes polar opposites aren’t as different as they seem…

Age Rating: 18+ (Kidnapping, Assault, Murder, Threat/Stalking)

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.

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.
