From Geek to Chic

by Lisa S. Gayle

A fuzzy cat, a need for speed, and a chic new style… Commitment-phobe COO millionaire Quill Webber would rather race cars and work out with his best bro than spend more than one excruciatingly complicated night with a woman. But a bet with his best friend’s wife forces him to confront his steadfast mission—to protect his heart at all costs. Agreeing to a fake relationship with a billionaire’s daughter might convince him he can keep things strictly platonic… but can a guy who secretly loves his cat really pretend feelings aren’t part of the deal? Geek-centric animal lover Andie Thompson has one goal: to build the largest exotic animal sanctuary the world has ever seen. To make it happen, she needs capital from her trust fund—at least until the Las Vegas sanctuary is up and running. But her father is holding those funds hostage. He has a goal of his own: marrying her off to his arrogant best friend’s son, Maxwell. Tired of playing defense, Andie decides it’s time to go on offense—and what better way to do that than with a fake proposal from another man? What Andie doesn’t count on is that going on offense means everyone’s skeletons are about to come out… and that her guns-blazing fake boyfriend may be far more than he appears. From Geek to Chic is an open-door, action-packed contemporary romance with a guaranteed HEA. It’s a sequel to Goddess and the Geek but can be enjoyed as a standalone. [Read More]

Circus of Souls, Book One: Vitalia

by Eliza Benner

The circus welcomes you, but will you survive? The King's Circus doesn't come to villages like hers. Or, at least, it didn't until now. Naevyn just wishes she'd stayed the hell inside. When the performers lock the crowd in place and shift into dragons, ripping souls from bodies to feed an immortal king, Naevyn should be dead alongside everyone else. Instead, she's dragged into a centuries-old rebellion because her blood does something it shouldn’t—it kills. She's supposed to be human. A girl from the southern quarter who just wants to keep her family safe. But in the fae realm, nothing about her makes sense, and the prophecy everyone whispers about marks her as their salvation. Then there's Cairos—a dragon-shifter with centuries of blood on his hands and a smirk that makes her want to strangle him. Cursed to collect souls for the very king he used to serve, Cairos is powerful, lethal, and, unfortunately, the only one who can help Naevyn survive. She should hate him for the atrocities he’s committed. She should definitely fear him. So why does he feel like the one thing she can’t stop wanting? To save her family and shatter the cycle of death, Naevyn will have to trust a monster, face what she really is, and get close enough to a king to destroy him. But the closer she gets to the truth, the more she realizes that everything she thought she knew about herself was a lie. Love has a price. Prophecies have power. And this one demands blood.

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]

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]
