Carve My Heart: A Steamy Forbidden Olympic Sports Romance
by Mara J. Ova
The tension between them crackles and sizzles in every stolen moment. But they can't. Both their careers depend on it. Katharina Berger crashes into Austria's golden boy, Thomas Kern, on a glacier half on purpose, just to feel his eyes on her: sharp, amused, and hungry. One reckless dinner turns into a night of desperate moans, whispered commands, and breathless surrender that leaves her aching for days. Katharina is a PR manager who fought tooth and nail for her career and swore she'd never lose herself to an athlete, as her mother did. But one look at the way he moves, at the dangerous confidence in his voice, at the hunger in his eyes, and she's never wanted to break her own rules so badly. Austria's ski champion, Thomas Kern, isn't just good. He's the best in the world, and he knows it. But Katharina isn't just another distraction. Her sharp mind cuts straight through his defenses, and her body, the way she takes control, the way she comes apart for him, he's obsessed. When Katharina lands her dream job as the Austrian team's new PR manager, they're forced to work side by side. They know exactly how the other tastes. No one else on the team can ever know. As Thomas struggles under Olympic pressure, Katharina is the only one who sees the man under the legend: the exhaustion under the arrogance, the flicker of fear behind his grin. And he can't stop picturing the heat of her skin, the taste of her lips, the way her gaze cuts straight through every defense he's built. [Read More]
Earned
by Lilly Manning
Elena Varela built her career on reading people. Adrian West is the first one who reads her back. As a crisis intelligence analyst newly recruited by the secretive Directorate, she's trained for difficult assignments. She isn't trained for Adrian West—controlled, severe, infuriatingly attractive, and convinced she has no business in his world of covert operations and lethal drawing rooms. Their first mission together should be straightforward. Infiltrate an elite private auction at an English country estate, and pose as Mr. and Mrs. Blackwood. Locate a young woman believed to be under coercion before she disappears into a network of stolen art, forged provenance, and powerful people who prefer their crimes wrapped in silk and champagne. But covers have a way of becoming complicated. In public, they stand close enough to convince a room full of watchers they belong together. In private, every correction, every touch, every near-miss turns the performance into something harder to dismiss. Adrian is all control and restraint—a man shaped by one failure he refuses to repeat. Elena is the one variable he can't manage, and the one woman he can't seem to keep at a safe distance. When the mission moves from the estate to a luxury yacht on the Thames, the line between performance and desire finally breaks. To save the woman they came for, they'll have to trust each other with more than the operation. By the time the cover falls, neither of them will be able to pretend it was ever only a lie. EARNED is a slow-burn romantic suspense novella featuring fake marriage, forced proximity, and an enemies-to-lovers dynamic set against the backdrop of London's most dangerous social circles. Book I of The Alias Series. [Read More]

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]
Talk to Me at Midnight
by Stephanie Harina
The voice that once saved her nights is now her trainer at work. Forced out of Bangkok by her dad, Yannie finds comfort in one thing: a mysterious voice who calls her every midnight. He doesn’t know her. She doesn’t know him. And that’s exactly why it works. Until she moves to Manila. And the voice gets a face. Now a teaching intern navigating office politics and Manila slang, Yannie is assigned to Ash Anderson, her serious, exacting English curriculum trainer—who is nothing like the man she talks to every midnight. Except he is that man. To protect her secret, Yannie makes one rule: Ash must never recognize her. Not when he texts her under the table with that ridiculous grin. Not when he stands far too close while demonstrating materials. And definitely not when he singles her out to present in front of everyone… where she’s now a walking disaster in heels. But when her fake deep voice slips, his smirks sharpen, and Ash starts calling her at work, Yannie realizes midnight secrets don’t survive daylight... especially when trouble wears a suit and knows all her confessions.

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?
