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]
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]

The Fractured Wing
by Zenna Lake
This is Book 2 of The Shackled Oath series. She survived captivity. But survival was never the same thing as healing. Azaria Sylvenhart was freed from captivity. What they could not free was her mind. Broken by what was done to her and driven by something darker than grief, Azaria descends into a war of her own making—one her squad watches helplessly, caught between reaching for her and fearing she may no longer want to be reached. Dain fights to hold her together. And Quinton Thornvale, the blood mage who would burn kingdoms to keep her alive, is learning that saving Azaria’s life and reaching her are not the same thing—and that whatever is growing between them was never going to survive unscarred. But darkness does not wait for her to heal. Hunted by the same forces that have tried to destroy her from the beginning, Azaria is forced to confront what she is willing to become in order to survive. And the arrival of a stranger from across the continent—one bound to her by something neither of them understands—threatens to unravel everything further. Because Torven Kaelor is not finished with her. And this time, the cost of stopping him will not be measured in blood alone. Perfect for fans of: 🖤 Morally gray heroes & obsessive devotion 🔥 Dark fantasy romance & escalating tension ⚔️ Found family pushed to the breaking point ✨ Praise kink, dominant MMC & emotional intimacy 🩸 Trauma, vengeance & dangerous loyalty ⚠️ This book contains heavier themes than Book 1, including graphic violence, torture, death, grief, trauma, and explicit intimate scenes between consenting adults.

Breaking the Captain
by Megan Tate
Luke Callahan runs the first lap on fresh ice every morning. He keeps his hands flat on his thighs when his pulse misbehaves. At twenty-two he's the youngest captain in the league, the golden boy with the clean stat line — and lately he's been jolting awake at five a.m. from a dream about a faceless man, a hand at his throat, a voice telling him to let go. Then the Titans trade for Evan Mercer: same position, dark hair, broken nose, and zero interest in being convenient for anybody after his last team quietly shipped him out for being caught with the wrong person. Evan looks at the captain wound tight across the faceoff dot and figures he's going to crack. He's right. He's just early. A turf war over one roster spot turns into board battles that last a beat too long, a handshake held a second past polite, and a pull Luke has no language for. Evan isn't asking him to come out. He's just standing there — steady, patient, unafraid — holding the door. All Luke has to do is stop running long enough to walk through it. Breaking the Captain is a slow-burn, explicit MM hockey romance and the first in the Lakeview Titans series. If you like rivals-to-lovers with a closeted control freak, an out-and-proud love interest who refuses to shrink, forced proximity in a scrappy minor-league locker room, and a found family with one menace of a best friend — this one's for you.

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.
