Broken

Broken

by Evelyn Miller

When Lily finds her boyfriend cheating on her the summer before senior year, it's just another broken piece in her already disappointing life. Then she meets Mason, who seems equally as broken for a different reason, but together they make summer their own and set off to complete a bucket list of promises they vow not to break...and maybe some feelings develop along the way. But their summer fling ends in disaster when Lily and Mason realize they're from rival schools, competing in rival teams. Even worse, when a tragic accident puts their priorities into perspective, can Lily and Mason find a way to be together, and will their friends—and the ultra-competitive sports teams—allow them to have the happy ending they dream of...?

But there’s a problem: Logan’s equally sexy friend Drew. With both her heart and sex caught up in between these two football rivals, things are about to get very complicated…and steamy.

He was off-limits—her best friend’s brother, her longtime secret crush.

But one kiss changes everything.

The Awakening Series

The Awakening Series

by L. T. Marshall

It was pain unlike anything I’d ever experienced.

My bones broke. From deep within, my wolf tore to the surface.

I lay there, shivering on the damp grass, still sore from my first-ever shift.

And then the voice I dreaded spoke in my mind.

Deep and sexy, with a hint of a Colombian accent.

The voice of the pack alpha.

“Mate.”

Orphaned in the Great War, Alora was destined for a hard life at the feet of her pack’s feared alpha, Colton Santos. But at her wolf’s awakening ceremony on her 18th birthday, she’s shocked to feel the mate bond for none other than the mysterious alpha himself. Now bound to Colton in a union the pack elders despise, Alora must ask herself: is finding her true mate worth the world of danger she’s awakened?

The evil twins are hot as hell—both six-foot-tall adonises, with identical sharp jawlines and wicked smirks. Just looking at them could make a girl wet. And when they get a girl wet, I’ve heard they like to share her...

I should steer clear, right? I mean, I’m a virgin. Plus, they’re like brothers to me.

So why do I keep having dreams about them sharing me like one of their conquests?

And more importantly, why do they keep looking at me like I’m their next meal?

Home-Wrecking Alpha

by B. D. Vyne

“What are you doing in my forest?” he asked, glaring into the car.

My husband opened his mouth, but the man snarled at him. “Not you. Her…”

“We’re lost,” I admitted, locking eyes with the man.

He leaned forward, his nostrils flaring as he inhaled my perfume. Then his eyes flashed suddenly gold.

“On the contrary, human. You’ve just been found.”

When Brooke and her sick husband stumble across a desolate forest town on a road trip, she feels strangely drawn to its leader, Slate. But Slate has a secret: He is a werewolf and her long-lost mate. Will Brooke choose loyalty to her husband, or will she fall for the home-wrecking alpha?
