The Alpha's Healer: Fated Mates, Forbidden Bonds

by Marina Belle

He Rejected Her Once. Now He Can’t Let Her Go. Lucia is a ghost in the Blackwood Pack. A human healer with no memory of her past, she has spent years suppressing a gift that is as self-destructive as it is miraculous. Every life she saves chips away at her own, fueled by a power she can neither understand nor control. But Lucia is tired of being a shadow. Amidst the chaos of a dying pack, she is on a desperate quest to uncover the truth of who she was before the Blackwood claimed her—and to reclaim the identity that was stolen. Alpha Kaelen is a ruthless leader driven by a brutal breeding program to save his people. He guards Lucia with a suffocating intensity, driven by a visceral hunger he can no longer ignore. But as the pack’s numbers dwindle and Lucia’s scent transforms, the whispers of her true nature grow too loud to ignore. As the lethal Beta, Ragnar, begins to circle, offering to help her “explore the limits of her potential,” Lucia must decide: will she remain a caged asset for the man who once threw her away, or will she finally seize her true identity—and decide what the pack is allowed to take from her? The Alpha's Healer is a dark, slow-burn shifter romance. Featured Tropes: Rejected Mate, Forced Proximity, Touch Her and Die, Hidden Identity. Vibe: A volatile healer reclaiming her power from the Alpha who nearly broke her. Content: 3/5 Spice 🔥 | Growl Rating: 4/5 (Not a "sweet" healer story). [Read More]

Crush in the Cascades

Crush in the Cascades

by Lisa S. Gayle

Reality TV, riches, and a race for romance! What’s not to like? For Easton Cooper, everything—except a chance at one million dollars. Desperate for cash, he’ll even compete on an outrageous action-adventure reality show, and he hates reality TV. As luck would have it, he’s thrust into his element, a series of outdoor challenges in the Oregon Cascade Mountains. But there’s a catch—he’s staring across the meadow at his partner—a tan, hot, out-of-place California girl, wearing heels and a formal dress in the middle of freaking nowhere—and she will not bring him down! Even if he has to drag her across the finish line. Amity Rose wants an adventure. No one told her that “dress accordingly” meant deck out in hardcore mountain gear. So she wore strappy heels and a fancy dress to the opening scene. So she hates bugs, cold air, tents, campfires—must she go on? Now all the contestants think she’s a pampered princess—and to add to her bad luck, her partner is the worst—a gangly, overconfident, know-it-all mountain trail guide. Did the directors just add a romantic twist to the drama? Sure, why not? Maybe she’ll leave the race with something more valuable than money. Just not with him! Crush in the Cascades is a full-length, open-door contemporary romance that can be read as a standalone. It features an action-packed, enemies-to-lovers romance. [Read More]

Of Ice and Innocence

🌶️🌶️🌶️

Of Ice and Innocence

by Karen Hunter

She fought for her freedom. He's dying without her. Fate doesn't care what either of them wants. Book 2 of The Dragon's Flame Series. This story stands on its own, set within the world of The Dragon’s Flame. While returning characters make appearances, no prior reading is required. Though readers familiar with the first book may recognise a few extra layers. Laya survived four brutal Chases to remain unclaimed — the only free female wolf in a generation. She chose scars over submission and solitude over a mate who would strip away everything she'd bled to protect. The last thing she needs is a diplomatic mission into dragon territory. Kaeldric, advisor to the Dragon King, has been fading for months — his dragon slowly dying because he refused a mate bond he couldn't accept. When he finally finds her, she's everything he dreamed of and nothing he prepared for: a wolf warrior with claws already extended, who would sooner gut him than acknowledge what they both know. One crumbling railing. One frozen river. One impossible bond neither can outrun. Stranded in the wilderness with broken ribs, a dislocated shoulder, and only each other, enemies have no choice but to survive together. But surviving is the easy part. When they return to civilisation, their bond will either become the bridge between two warring peoples — or the spark that ignites the war that destroys them both. A wolf who refuses to be claimed. A dragon who's running out of time. And a mate bond that will demand the one thing neither of them is willing to give. [Read More]

Not His Girlfriend (Yet): 4 1/2 Dates and a Fracture

Not His Girlfriend (Yet): 4 1/2 Dates and a Fracture

by M.T. Liu

A contemporary romance novella about a graphic designer who says "girlfriend" before it's true — and then has to live up to it. Nora Chen spends two hours before every date perfecting the version of herself she thinks he wants to see. Ethan Morin is a Québécois firefighter who deflects the brave parts of his own stories. She performs. He protects. Neither of them knows the other is doing it. Then an accident leaves Ethan recovering, and Nora does something distinctly un-rehearsed: she stays. All night. In his jacket. Without a plan. Now they're sharing a Montreal apartment, two opinionated cats, a winter that refuses to end, and a hallway that's exactly the wrong length. She thinks he's pushing her away. He thinks she can't wait to leave. He watches her fall apart and thinks it's the best version he's ever seen. He doesn't say it. Neither of them says it. Best for readers who enjoy emotional slow burn, hurt/comfort, forced proximity, caretaking, quieter romantic tension, closed-door heat, and guaranteed HEA. For fans of Emily Henry's quiet emotional weight. [Read More]

Duskshade

Duskshade

by Madison Patershuk and Ebony Dobson

Ophelia’s life is anchored by the measurable laws of the universe. As a dedicated heliophysicist, she trusts what she can prove and she trusts Nick, the man she believes is her soulmate. But when an impossible fracture in reality violently tears Ophelia, Nick, and her loved ones out of the human world and plunges them into the untamed Fae realm of Fenraeis, all earthly logic shatters. Stranded in a world that shouldn't exist, Ophelia quickly realizes they aren't just lost. They are being hunted. The Crownless, a terrifying and relentless entity, doesn't want her dead; he wants her caged. He intends to enslave Phee to siphon the elusive, ancient power awakening in her blood. It is a dormant, near-endless well of magic that hasn't been seen in an age, and this scientist has no idea how to control it. Desperate to keep the people she loves alive, Ophelia must become the warrior she was never meant to be. To survive, she is forced into an uneasy alliance with Kane—the ruthless, infuriating High King who might be just as dangerous as the monsters hunting them. As her impossible abilities rise to the surface, Ophelia realizes her arrival in Fenraeis wasn't an accident. She doesn't believe in destiny, but to keep her power out of the hands of a monster and to save those she loves, she must forge her own. [Read More]

Almost Us

Almost Us

by Jenni Chris

Seven There's no forgiving the things I've done. Or failed to do. But there was a time I was a good man. I had a family. A life that was more than breaking bones and following orders. It was my own fault I lost it all. The night I met her I was done. Done with the emptiness. Done with the guilt. Done with everything. But then she was there and I had a choice to make. Step in or walk away. I couldn't walk away. Molly I've been running for a long time. From myself. From my past. From the truth. My life has never been what it looks like from the outside. I've always been what I needed to be, done what I needed to do. Even now, my life isn't really mine. All I'd wanted was a few hours of normal. Instead I ended up somewhere I never should've been. He could've walked away. Instead, he risked his life to save mine. Seven and Molly are two people with nothing left to lose and secrets that can destroy them. One chance meeting, one choice changes everything. Almost Us is book one of a high stakes, slower burn, dark romance duology featuring deeply human and flawed characters trying to find their way back to themselves and each other. [Read More]

A Field Beyond Notions

by Atria J. Merian

The scythe meets its match in a paranormal tale of mutual obsession. Humans think I’m a psychopath. I don’t think about them at all. My routines keep me in check. Seven days for a prisoner. Feed off their fear. Dispose. Paperwork. Repeat. But ever since Rosario had stepped into my office for an interview to be my operations manager, I’ve been lovestruck. For the first time in centuries. I watch her sleep. I plan our life together. I hear the bells toll. She may be trying to outrun her past, but she will never outrun her future. Till death do us part is a wonderful notion. Especially since I have no intention of ever dying. [Read More]

The Unbearable Melt: Book Three in The Laughter of the Sun series

by Andie Holman

Allies are elusive, and gods hold grudges in an icy land. The magical crew splits up to find help in their mission to defeat the rogue Fae princes, set on taking over the Earth. The mermaids and gargoyle head to the Arctic with the wolf shifter, whereas the rest of the crew fumbles with stubborn Mages. THERE ARE TWO ROMANCES. 1. M/M. They are ex-lovers, both Mages, and are forced to work together. The tension is high and tight. 2. M/F. He's a wolf shifter returning to his estranged home in the Arctic. She comes into her powers while there, and he'll do anything to keep her safe. "Touch her and I'll bite you." There are different dimensions (Earth, Fae, and heavenly) and the story is told through multiple characters. As with all my books, the pace is fast and the magic is wild. To start at the beginning, book one is the award-winning The Mermaid's Wrath, and The Sorrow of Bees is book two. [Read More]

The Alpha's Healer: Rebirth and Revelation

by Marina Belle

Lucia survived the Wilds. Now she has to survive the beast who bled for her—and the truth of what she is. Separated from the Blackwood Pack, and from Kaelen, the Alpha who swore to protect her but kept her in a gilded cage, Lucia is stranded on the edge of the human world. Her only protector is Ragnar. The pack’s Enforcer is brutal, possessive, and dangerously intoxicating—and he has no intention of coddling a fragile human. He wants to teach her how to bite back. But as care turns into something darker, something territorial, Lucia is pulled into a war she doesn’t understand. The Wilds are waking. The creatures are calling her my lady. Her power is changing. And so is she. Because the truth of Lucia’s bloodline won’t just change her… it will tear the shifter world apart. Caught between the Alpha who holds her heart and the beast who demands her soul, Lucia must decide who she is willing to become. Because to survive what’s coming, the healer must die— and something far more dangerous must rise in her place. ------------------------------------- Series: Book II of III (continues into final installment/ cliffhanger) Genre: Dark Paranormal Shifter Romance / Dark Fantasy Tropes: Dark psychological love triangle • Fated mates (twist) • “Who did this to you?” Spice: 🌶️🌶️🌶️ (light–medium, high-heat moments, intense intimacy) Darkness: Medium — this is a dark PNR Content Warnings: Attempted SA • Graphic violence • Blood/gore • Injury detail (animal/shifter attacks) • Pregnancy struggles/infant loss POV: Alternating third person (Lucia, Kaelen, Ragnar) Vibe: Dark, gothic, wintery For readers who love monster heroes and heroines who embrace their darkness [Read More]
