The Eternal Don – Some consider me a ticking time bomb, others know I have the time and patience of a sinful saint. I’ve been around for almost two centuries. No one is stupid enough to challenge me, until a hunter thinks he can bait me by using his daughter. An arranged marriage might have been a trap set by him, but I’ll be the one who will see it through.
The Eternal Underboss – Some consider me the epitome of serenity, others know utter havoc flows through my blood. Fairies for instance are vicious creatures, staying amongst their own to prevent wars among other supernaturals. Until they attend a gathering where arranged marriages are forged. As it happens, the daughter of the Fairy king turns out to be my eternal mate.
Cowboy Bikers MC: Centaurs – Being the president of an MC filled with centaur shifters located at a huge ranch demands a truckload of responsibilities. I am not just a biker, a cowboy, or a centaur, but I am a man of many trades and talents. And one of those is to protect the one who is destined to be my eternal mate.
The Eternal Choice – The goal was to find other clan leaders at the supernatural’s gathering to find suitable candidates for an arranged marriage. Instead, I stumble onto my fated mate. The woman isn’t a dragon, even if she’s as stubborn as one, but a very unique vampire. Meeting my fated mate has unseeable consequences for my clan, but it also saves my life at a time when legends come true, and betrayal runs deeper than blood.
Tennessee Smith is a wanted man. Betrayed by his government and hunted by his former employer, he’s been stripped of everything he holds dear. If the CIA finds him, they’re sure to take his life as well. His only shot at getting it all back is taking down the man who burned him. He knows just how to get to Senator Hank McDonald and that’s through his daughter, Faith. In order to seduce her, he must become something he never thought he’d be—a Dom.
Overcome by isolation and duty…
All her life, Dr. Faith “Mac” McDonald has felt alone, even among her family. Dedicating herself to helping others and making a difference in the world has brought her some peace, but a year spent fighting the Ebola virus in West Africa has taken a toll. She’s come home for two months of relaxation before she goes back into the field. After holding so many lives in her hands, nothing restores her like the act of submission. Returning to her favorite club, Mac is drawn to the mysterious new Dom all the subs are talking about, Master No. In the safety of his arms, she finds herself falling head over heels in love.
Forced to choose between love and revenge…
On an exclusive Caribbean island, Ten and Mac explore their mutual attraction, but her father’s plots run deeper than Ten could possibly have imagined. With McKay-Taggart by his side, Ten searches for a way to stop the senator, even as his feelings for Mac become too strong to deny. In the end, he must choose between love and revenge—a choice that will change his life forever.
🎧Review🎧 Tennessee devoted his life to the Agency only to have them betray him when it comes to ensuring that justice is received for his brother’s death. With Ian’s help he is going to go after the man he believes responsible and he believes the best way to accomplish that is through Faith his daughter, even if that means she gets caught in the crossfire.
Faith is a doctor who always put others first which is why she works in the countries that need her the most. She has returned to the US for her annual respite where she will spend a few weeks with a Dom. What she didn’t know is that Ten is that Dom or the private agenda he has that will put them all in danger.
The chemistry between Ten and Faith is off the charts, and the suspense keeps you on edge however what really makes this story compelling is the emotional component and it doesn’t just affect Ten and Faith. Ryan West doesn’t disappoint as he brings out all the angst, humor and intrigue and makes this captivating story even better.
He should be off limits, but he’s the best kind of trouble.
Briar
My father gave me the family brewery as an early Christmas present.
Generous, right? Except every single person on staff just quit, and I only have a budget that’ll last through the end of the year.
I need a miracle.
Lucky for me, my best friend Hannah’s big brother, Liam, is a genius brewer, and she convinces him to quit his job and come work for me. She only has one condition: I can never date him.
It’s an easy agreement to make. I’ve vowed to stay away from men after an embarrassing breakup, and I’d never sleep with someone who works for me. Besides, Liam’s an amateur boxer and frankly a bit terrifying.
Only…it turns out my best friend’s brooding, insanely talented big brother is the only man who’s ever really understood me.
Liam
I promised my sister not to date any more of her friends, because the last time I tried, it ended badly. Very badly.
I took this job thinking it wouldn’t be a problem to stay away from Briar. She’s a daddy’s girl who looks like a princess and talks like a boarding school teacher. Not my type.
But the woman I wrote off knows a lot about beer, and she’s a whole lot tougher than I gave her credit for. I want to run this brewery with her…and I want her too.
To my complete shock, I’m falling hard for my boss, and if my sister finds out, there will be hell to pay.
Note: There are TWO different versions of this romcom:
1) A spicy open door version with some strong language and sex scenes
2) A closed door version with mild language and only kissing.
The president’s daughter shouldn’t be sharing a bed with two men.
She definitely shouldn’t still be thinking about them after one night together.
Faye Donnelley lives with every move photographed or judged. She can handle gossip blogs and political narratives, but what she really wants is something that isn’t for public consumption. One Fourth of July with two college baseball players finally gives her a night that isn’t for cameras or anyone outside that room.
Dylan Statler and Jase Matthewson are best friends, stepbrothers, and college teammates with dreams of making it to the big leagues. Hooking up with the president’s daughter was supposed to be a one-time thing. Except they can’t stop checking Faye’s socials or replaying how it felt with her pressed between them, their hands and mouths all over her.
After Dylan and Jase are drafted by different teams hundreds of miles apart, their private group text with Faye turns into stolen weekends, hotel rooms, and late-night video calls they can’t resist. It starts to feel like they aren’t just playing for their careers, but for the president’s daughter, and for something between the guys they can’t ignore.
If their relationship gets exposed, Faye could become a political talking point while sports media outlets dissect Dylan and Jase’s personal lives instead of their stats. That fallout would be bad enough, but when a terrifying moment shakes their world, it forces them to decide if they’re willing to risk it all or walk away from a relationship that only works when all three are together.
This small town *could* be big enough for both of them . . .
Quiet. Serious. Protective. All words Stone Sylver would use to describe himself. And yet, something in his classic blue eyes said he was so much more. Buried beneath the years of raising his younger siblings and being a small town sheriff was a man looking for love.
Of course, I didn’t get all that the first night we met. The night we did a one-two step in a hotel hallway and knocked heads. The same night we shared a sweet potato cupcake and a single kiss.
Why didn’t we share more? The moment became a great mystery to me and because I thought he was only a brief interlude in my wanderlust life, I wasn’t prepared to see him again in Sterling Falls.
Visiting the small town where I once lived, I learn the man who I witnessed act like a superhero was more entwined in my past than I’d remembered. And for a woman often afraid of a future, I suddenly craved one…with him. Which made no sense as I’d never stuck in one place before. No one had ever asked me to stay.
Then again, from our first encounter, I knew Stone Sylver was different.
It Could Only Be You is the final installment in USA Today Bestselling Author Lisa Shelby’s Only in Goose Hollow Series.
I’ve been Daisy McKinnon’s dirty little secret for over a decade.
To everyone else, our constant bickering is harmless—like siblings who can’t stop needling each other. But what they don’t know is that behind every jab is a truth. A truth she’s too afraid to admit to herself, let alone anyone else.
She’s the woman I can’t stay away from. My best friend’s little sister and my constant challenge. I’ve laid my heart bare, told her what I want and made it clear she’s the only future I see. But she keeps running—hiding behind excuses, pretending the fire between us doesn’t burn for her too.
The problem is… I’m stuck. There is nobody else for me but her. So, all I can do is wait for her to meet me where I’m at.
But when her safety is threatened, I can wait no longer. She’s coming home with me… where she belongs… where I can keep her safe. Whether her brother likes it or not.
Come along for the fun, sexy ride as this business-savvy, pleasure-oriented billionaire gets the shock of his lifetime and finds out his ever-efficient virtual assistant is not the man he thinks he is but a beautiful businesswoman who knows many of his secrets and has some of her own in Sincerely, Mr. Braden.
You know what they say about best-laid plans…
When the chance to finally meet my virtual assistant arises, I jump on it. Imagine my surprise when I find his beautiful sister Eleanor in his place.
The moment I meet Ellie Mitchell, my world shifts.
What was supposed to be a brief hello with my assistant turns into an unforgettable weekend with an incredible woman.
I’ve spent a lifetime keeping people at arm’s length and walking away unscathed, but Ellie obliterates every wall I’ve ever built.
What I learn next shatters my world.
I don’t know which betrayal cuts deeper: The lie she told me or the truth that I still want her.
The realm of Krestoria was shattered; torn apart by a feared witch and a Fae king whose war left scars that never healed. From the war rose the Guardians’ Keep, a fortress built to protect children from magic’s destruction… or so the world was told.
Avery Ashgrove has spent her entire life behind the Keep’s stone walls and iron gates, taught to believe that magic is darkness—and those who once wielded it were monsters. But as her time in the Keep nears its end, a forbidden passage reveals itself, and whispers of long-buried secrets begin to rise.
Guided by cryptic warnings, suspicious victories, and the gaze of a silent observer, Avery begins to question everything: her teachings, her memories, and the true reason she was taken from her family.
The Keep didn’t just protect her.
It imprisoned her.
And the thing it tried hardest to hide… is waking.
As her journey leads her into forgotten ruins, mystical mountains, and the ashes of a past she was never meant to uncover, Avery must face a legacy soaked in betrayal and power.
Tessa Harper I was back in town for two weeks for my brother’s wedding. Two weeks, and then I’d be headed back home to Hollywood to start filming a brand new TV show. I’d been cast as the lead, and I still couldn’t believe they wanted me. Except being home in Portland made me realize just what I’d been missing in LA. And one night with Oliver Graham made me question everything…
Oliver Graham There were a few things I knew to be true. One, Tessa Harper was the most beautiful woman I’d ever met. And two, her brother was marrying my cousin. It could never work. Except two weeks together showed me just how good it could be between us. And the moment I said goodbye, I knew I couldn’t let her go. Not when she was brighter than any star, and my life felt empty without her in it.
This spicy, friends to lovers novella is a spin-off of the Best Friends Book Club series by Amazon bestselling author Jennifer Chipman.

Things I should never, under any circumstances ever do: ask my secret crush, aka. the most notorious (reformed) playboy in pro hockey, to take my virginity.
Too bad, I did.
After a string of terrible dates, I did the unthinkable. I propositioned Flip Madden.
Of course, he said no. It isn’t that he’s almost a decade older than me and I’m still in university.
But because I’m his coach’s oldest daughter.
Not to mention my dad would bludgeon him with his hockey stick if he found out.
Which he won’t because it will never happen.
And now things are awkward because there’s no going back.
Except Flip is more protective than ever before and his eyes follow me in every room we’re in together. He brings flowers to my recitals and reads all the books I recommend.
Things I should never, under any circumstances ever do: hope Flip Madden might actually want me too.

From USA Today Bestselling Author Willow Winters comes the second part in the sizzling Hades & Persephone Duet.
Ripped away from Olympus to the Underworld was a hell of its own making, but so is returning. Leaving behind Hades and my rightful place as Queen of the Underworld caused an agony I’ve never known before.
What’s worse is that the war has not come to an end and my place in Olympus is questioned by all because of Hades’ demands. My mother will stop at nothing to have me safe with her and neither will Hades.
I’m left torn between life, Olympus, my mother and the throne I was always meant to have beside my lover, the King of the Dead. I miss him dearly, I crave his touch and I need the love I felt so strongly in his presence.
What brings me the most fear though, is my own thoughts and my own power. The threat of losing what I had is enough to make me question my sanity. My mother would starve the world for me, Hades would burn it. But myself… What I’m willing to do as the suffering intensifies is blasphemy and terrifies me to my core. There’s no going back and in this place I must find peace and balance before it’s too late.
I know one thing for certain: after dark, there will always be light. If that wasn’t true, the dark would not have a name… And I crave both.
I started writing after having my little girl, Evie, December of 2015. All during my pregnancy with her I read. I only wanted to read romance novels and I read everything I could get my hands on. I would read a book a day — sometimes two. In January I was staying up late with her and just thinking of all these stories. They came to me constantly. I finally sat down and just started writing. I always wanted to do it so I figured, why not?
I never thought I would reach this point of success to be honest. It’s insane to me that I have connected with so many readers.
And I love each and every one of them for all of their support. I’ll be honest, some days are HARD. I have my littles during the day and I write at night. Some days are just simply exhausting and then I hear from a reader and it motivates me to push through and keep writing. I couldn’t be more grateful for this wonderful career.

NYT and USA Today Bestselling author Kaylee Ryan brings you a new standalone series surrounding the Nashville Rampage football team. Change the Play is a found family, forced proximity, workplace, sports romance.
Foster
I learned early how to survive on my own. Keep my head down and my past locked away.
My childhood taught me that nothing lasts and no one chooses you forever. So I built a life free from love—and pain.
Football gave me discipline. Success gave me distance. Silence kept me safe.
Then Eden walked into my house.
My new housekeeper. Someone meant to clean my messes and remain on the edges of my life.
Except she didn’t stay on the edges. She saw me—really saw me—and didn’t look away. Her laugh somehow turned my empty house into something that felt like a home.
With her, the walls I spent years building began to crack.
Loving her means risking everything. It means believing I’m worth choosing. She makes me want to stop hiding… and change the play.
Eden
I know what it’s like to grow up unwanted. To pack your life into boxes and pretend it doesn’t hurt when no one ever unpacks them for you.
Loneliness taught me independence and resilience, to build a family from the people who stay. I never expected more.
Then I met Foster.
He’s quiet and guarded, carrying the weight of a past he refuses to name.
Working for him was supposed to be simple—do my job, keep my head down, don’t cross lines.
But the more time we spend together, the more I see the man beneath the armor. The one he hides from the world.
We weren’t looking for love. Yet somewhere in the stolen moments, we chose each other.
And for the first time, I’m not just building a family—I’m finally home.
New York Times and USA Today Bestselling author Kaylee Ryan has been crowned the Queen of Swoon by her readers. With nearly fifty romance books under her belt, she’s known for penning happily ever afters with heart. When she’s not writing, you can find her with a book in her hand or hanging out with her family where she resides in her home state of Ohio.
In the storm of life, some passions can’t be tamed.
Mila has spent her life working on Stormy Weather Farm, alongside her fiercely loyal, slightly eccentric family. The Storms believe in hard work, the importance of tradition, and—most of all—love at first touch. It’s a family legend, passed down like a vintage bottle of truth: when you touch the one meant for you, you’ll just know.
Mila always thought it was just a romantic notion… until Boone.
A rugged, brooding single father with a past that still smolders, Boone has one priority: giving his twelve-year-old daughter a stable, quiet life. Love? He’s been there, done that, burned the T-shirt. Or so he thinks…until Mila.
She’s all sunshine and cinnamon, and she makes Boone ache with cravings he thought were long dead. Every time she blushes, every time she touches him by accident, the tension coils tighter.
Soon, late-night harvests turn into stolen glances, and shared glasses of wine become heated whispers in the dark. But love is risky business, and Boone’s heart isn’t the only thing on the line—his daughter’s trust, and Mila’s future, hang in the balance.

But when loving her means breaking every rule I’ve ever lived by…
There’s only one choice I’ll make.
I’ll follow Willow anywhere, even into the fire.
Opposites attract, danger ignites, and a rule-bound SEAL is about to make the most reckless choice of his life: loving Willow.
Willow doesn’t regret the choices she has made as she would do anything for those she loves. She is willing to complete her community services, and she enjoys getting a reaction out of Hudson whenever she can. When her past catches up with her she never expected that he would be the one determined to protect her which included staying at a remote cabin while they determine next steps.
Hudson is an ex-Navy Seal who is helping at the retreat and one of his tasks is to manage the people who are there to complete their community service. Willow tries to test his patience at every turn which includes turning up late, but when she finds herself in danger there is nothing he won’t do to keep her safe.
