Unlocked:Waiting to be read

Ana Green knows exactly what kind of man she should avoid.

Powerful. Older. Possessive. And definitely her ex-boyfriend’s future father-in-law.

After discovering her long-term boyfriend’s affair with the CEO’s daughter, Ana walks away from both the relationship and the toxic company they worked for together. The last thing she needs is another complication — especially one with Lucas Hale, the devastatingly attractive billionaire she’s spent the last year secretly fantasising about.

Lucas is everything Ana shouldn’t want: commanding, dangerously protective, and completely irresistible. One explosive encounter at a crowded bar shatters every boundary between them, igniting a relationship neither of them can hide from for long.

But loving Lucas comes with consequences.

A scorching age-gap romance filled with obsession, banter, public temptation, emotional vulnerability, and a hero who falls first — and falls hard

“Stay out of my way,” the grump growls… while standing way too close. Kat came to Black Hollow for a fresh start, not a tall, feral man who acts like she’s a problem he can’t stop staring at. Before any of the weirdness, she’s just a competent vet tech with a motel hangover and a new job at Thorn Veterinary. Then Kael walks in with an injured German Shepherd and that “touch my dog wrong and I’ll bite” attitude, and Kat has to kneel in front of him to bandage the paw. You’d think he’d say thanks. He says her full name like it tastes good. Which is… rude. Later she follows her tiny black cat into the woods and finds Kael shirtless at an outdoor gym, all sweat and muscles and bad decisions, and he still tries to boss her around (she should hate him—she does hate him). But he grabs a flashlight and leads her onto “pack land” to help her search anyway, and yes, you’re coming with her. They step into the tree line together. Will he pin her to the wall or protect her first?

Valentina is a dedicated sports reporter who lives for deadlines, not locker rooms. She can handle any season—except winter, when hockey takes over her schedule and her sanity. This year gets even colder when a newly signed player joins the Hawks and turns her routine upside down. He is talented, confident, and far too good at getting under her skin. Nathaniel is focused on proving himself on the ice, yet the sharp-tongued reporter trailing the team distracts him in ways he never expects. As interviews spark into banter and tension melts into heat, ambition and attraction collide. When a career-defining opportunity calls her away, both must face what winning truly means.

Jade came with an anniversary cake. She left with a broken heart. A pair of heels. Two wine glasses. One husband who swears she has it all wrong. But Jade is done being the perfect wife. Secrets. Desire. Betrayal. Three children. One marriage about to explode.

Would YOU forgive him?

Seven years should be enough to forget a first love, but Cassidy knows better. She builds a life that looks steady on the outside, carefully stitched together with routine and quiet resilience. Then Matteo walks back in, no warning, no mercy, and very much not alone. Now their worlds overlap in ways that feel almost unfair, where polite smiles hide old sparks and every glance carries a little too much history. Cassidy tells herself she has moved on, that she can handle this, that time has done its job. But love like theirs doesn’t fade politely. It lingers, teases, and tests every boundary she thought was solid. And as the past presses closer, she begins to wonder… can you really outgrow the one who once felt like forever?

“Tell me you’re not scared of me,” Alejandro says, and Destiny… doesn’t move. He still kisses her hand like a gentleman. Which makes it worse. Destiny is a freshly minted master’s grad with a blacklisted name and a fridge full of excuses. Then the city’s most gorgeous nightclub king decides her career is his personal hobby. He watches her dance like he already owns the view, slips her his card, and smiles when her friends call him “bad news” (because of course they do). You’ll love her because she’s trying to be careful and still wants soft things like rent paid on time. You’ll hate him because he keeps fixing her life with one phone call and zero permission. He should not be turning her lights back on at midnight. He definitely should not be tucking her into bed like he’s the only safe thing in the room. Then he leans in and murmurs, “Come to my club at 10 a.m. Ask for me.” So… are you going, or are you lying? 😉

Lucas has carefully built his image as the rebel, the one no one expects much from, and he plans to keep it that way. When his twin brother agrees to tutor Rina, Lucas ends up stepping in, pretending to be someone he is not. It should be simple, just a favor and a secret kept. But Rina is not like anyone he has met before. She sees past the attitude, past the walls, and straight into the parts he keeps hidden. As their connection grows through late nights and quiet moments, Lucas finds himself caught between the truth and the role he is playing. Because the more he pretends, the harder it becomes to ignore what is real—and what could change everything.

Diana’s life has never been her own—every step chosen, every promise written in ink she never signed. Now she’s bound by a marriage contract to Domenico, the dangerously charming heir of her father’s closest ally. Beneath his perfect smile and velvet voice, secrets simmer—dark, ancient, and far too close to home. As their wedding looms, the lines between duty and desire blur, and Diana must decide whether to fight the ties that bind her… or surrender to the one man she was never meant to love. In a world where every vow has a cost, breaking free might be the most dangerous choice of all.

Ava arrives at her new school determined to stay invisible and drama-free. She wants fresh starts, quiet days, and zero complications. Then he notices her. Loudly. Confidently. Relentlessly. The school’s favorite heartbreaker treats teasing like a sport, and Ava like his newest challenge. She insists she can’t stand him, even as their sharp banter turns into something dangerously fun. Behind the smirks and charm, Ava begins to see layers she never expected, and walls she didn’t plan to lower. As sparks fly in hallways and hearts race faster than logic, Ava learns that resisting temptation is much harder when it makes you laugh.

Aurora believes her life is settled, even if her heart quietly disagrees. She is engaged, polite, and doing what is expected, until a chance encounter with Gio turns her world off balance. He is bold, perceptive, and far too comfortable saying the things she avoids admitting. Their connection is immediate, dangerous, and impossible to ignore. As stolen moments blur the lines between duty and desire, Aurora begins to see how much of herself she has been holding back. Caught between who she is supposed to be and who she becomes around him, she discovers that love has a way of finding cracks you didn’t know were there.

Something's wrong...

That's what always nags at Gabriela whenever she sees Kevin Saldivar, the cousin of her crush, Francis Saldivar.

Their arrangement is meant to be simple, but nothing about it feels easy.

Kayson, guarded yet fiercely protective, proves to be both an unexpected challenge and a surprising ally.

When their clash spills out of the classroom and into the city’s nightlife, Persephone realizes he’s watching her as closely as he’s grading her. One reckless paper could change everything.

The smell of baked salmon and disappointment hung in the air. Celine was cutting into dead flesh. Literally. The fish on her plate had been cooked at the precise temperature where hope and flavor evaporated—and in the Ravel household, hope evaporated daily. Serena, her mother, quietly sipped from a glass of white wine, wearing the dull look of a woman who knew no decision was hers anymore. She had once been alive—now she was a fragile presence in beige dresses and measured gestures. Whatever was left of her dreams dissolved night after night into cold Chilean wine and fractured conversation. A

But is love brave enough to begin again when everything is on the line?

Max lives for the thrill of the chase, all charm, confidence, and a grin that usually gets him exactly what he wants. So when a reckless bet dares him to win a girl’s heart, he jumps in without a second thought. Easy, right? Until he meets her. She is grounded, sharp, and completely unimpressed by his usual tricks. Suddenly, the game feels different. What starts as playful pursuit shifts into stolen moments, real laughter, and feelings Max doesn’t quite know how to handle. The lines blur fast, and the stakes rise even faster. Because this time, it is not just about winning. It is about what happens when the truth comes knocking at the worst possible moment.

A city writer returns to the farm that shaped her childhood, expecting dust, drama, and a fast escape. Instead, she lands in a fiery tug-of-war with the gruff cowboy who shares her inheritance and refuses to let the land slip away.

Vanessa likes her world quiet, controlled, and blissfully free of anyone trying to charm their way past her walls. Then her new neighbor shows up with a grin that is far too warm and a confidence that rattles her steady stride. Every encounter knocks her a little off balance, and his teasing spark feels annoyingly good. He sees the shadows she carries, yet he steps closer instead of backing away. As their playful clashes grow into something softer, Vanessa feels the light tugging at her edges. Letting him in might be messy, risky, and wildly inconvenient… but it also might be the first thing that feels right in a long time.

Tori thinks one wild night with a handsome stranger is nothing more than a fun memory… until she joins her new hockey team and realizes her mystery man is Adam, their biggest rival and her captain’s best friend. Now the spark they shared is impossible to forget, especially when an injury leaves her stuck recovering at his place. Tension grows, secrets slip, and every look hits harder than a slapshot. As the ice between them melts, Tori must decide what matters more: protecting her secret, or facing the truth rushing straight at her heart.

The scar on Harper Reid’s left knee tingled as she walked into Briar University’s hockey arena, a phantom reminder of the last time she’d stepped onto this ice. Three years, two surgeries, and one shattered dream ago. The early-morning light filtered through the high windows, casting long shadows across the empty stands.

Sun. Sea. Peace. That was the plan. Instead, after an accident, I save a stranger’s life and discover that werewolves actually exist. Before I can even begin to process that information properly, a ridiculously attractive Alpha informs me that I’m his fated mate. Honestly, to this day I’m still not sure what was worse: the existence of werewolves or Amaro’s personality. And if he thinks I’m going to let him boss me around just because fate supposedly decided we belong together, he’s about to get a very unpleasant surprise.

“You’re bleeding on my floor, sweetheart. That’s rude.” 😏 Mila stumbles into the one office she shouldn’t. Dritan stands up like he owns oxygen, blocks the door with his arms, and looks at her like she’s a problem he wants to keep. Before the romance interferes, Mila is just trying to get out alive after waking up taped, tied, and sold as someone’s “package.” She picks a lock with a hair grip, knocks a woman out in a bathroom, then slips into a dark office to hide… and finds the gang’s second-in-command lounging with whiskey like sin pays rent. He’s gorgeous in that infuriating way, he kisses her like he’s allowed, and she should hate him—she does hate him—until her hands fist in his shirt anyway. You’d do the same, don’t lie. Then she whispers how she escaped, and Dritan’s smirk cracks because she didn’t just run… she tied someone up. A fist slams the office door from the hallway.
