Summary: A Vampire/Dragon MMM  Fantasy Romance: Seth’s life has always been chaotic. He’s earned himself a reputation, one he feeds to keep his secret. And when Seth discovers a dreg behind the Bluebottle one night, it leads to a shocking revelation: he is fated to the one vampire he loathes above all—Hjor, an elder whose very presence has haunted Seth’s every nightmare. The same vampire who made his life a hellish torment now stands before him, awakening a connection that blurs the lines between hatred and longing. Jett knows only one truth: abandoned by a family he can’t remember, with memories he can’t recall, he survives the streets. And when a vampire intervenes during his darkest hour and saves his life, he’s thrust into a world he knows nothing about. Blood called to blood, and fate intervenes, gifting him not only one mate to walk with him through the world, but two. Discovering that strength comes not from denying who you are, but from embracing it. Fuelled by resentment and hatred, Seth must confront not only his own demons but also the deep-seated bond that ties him to Hjor and his dragon. Together, they are thrust into an ancient war between rival supernatural beings, where loyalty, betrayal, and love intertwine in ways they never expected.

Summary: Rafe was offered millions to kill Asa Trent. Now he’d kill for nothing to keep him. Two contracts sit on Asa Trent. One pays millions to make him talk and then put him in the ground. The other pays almost nothing and says only this: find him; he’ll be scared; help him. Rafe takes both, and the big payout is the one he intends to finish. He’s made a career of getting answers from people and never asks why two clients want the same man. He just hunts him down. Then he finds Asa bolted to a chair, barely breathing, pressing his forehead against the barrel of the gun and begging to be done. Rafe has never walked away from a job, but for some inexplicable reason, this is the one he can’t finish. Asa has spent his life trying to find where the chain ends. All he wants is the pain to end, but instead he wakes in a stranger’s house, broken and terrified, with no idea why he’s still alive.

The hard part is loving him enough to leave every door open. Rafe is a dark M/M romantic suspense with an obsessed assassin, a touch-starved ex-con, a hitman who changes sides, hurt/comfort, forced proximity, an age gap, and Christmas in hiding.

Summary: Ballet was my life. I alienated myself for it. I broke my body for it. I rose, I fell, I rose again. Three years carrying a struggling neoclassical company on a body that should have retired me at eighteen. I had become the dancer nobody wanted to follow. Then the company announced Carmen. The ballet of the season, and the role every dancer wanted. The cigarette girl, the seductress, the woman who chooses death over surrender. She was going to be mine. The part that would finally get me out, into the career I had bled twenty years for. Then she arrived from Russia. Perfectly trained. Beautiful enough that I should have known better. I didn't. She conquered the room. She danced like she was on fire. Not better than me—different. Different enough that I noticed. We measured each other across the studio. She moved like nothing in the room could touch her. I moved like the floor was mine and she was trespassing. When she danced angry, she danced better. When she danced better, I went to a place she couldn't follow. Then she smiled. She kissed me. We danced together and the room held its breath. I forgot what she was coming for. I stopped watching her like a threat. She wanted my role. I gave her too much. Somewhere between the studio and her bed, we stopped pretending we weren't destroying each other. Something broke. I still don't know which of us broke it first. By the morning of opening night, I had crossed a line I could not walk back from. Only one of us was dancing Carmen. The decision was mine to make. I made it. I'm Carmen. Don't ever call me anything else. A sapphic psychological thriller about ambition, obsession, and the violence of two women trained their whole lives to never be the first to stop.

Summary: Obsessive Love / Cat and Mouse / Mind Games / Who's Really the Stalker? / Sapphic Awakening / Morally Grey FMC / Snarky Narrator (obviously) / Tease and Denial / First Person POV Hi. My name is Lisa Salt. I'm a college freshman with exactly one friend, most days. I was chasing my mother's dream of going into medicine, maintaining the empty social life she always envisioned for me. It was a calm, irrelevant existence, and I miss every second of it. Because when Sofia Rossi looked at me, my world fractured. It was just a look. One look from the most untouchable girl on campus, and I lost every boundary I had. In all fairness, most of this is probably my fault—but I barely tried to stalk her. I might have misread some signals when I ended up inside her house without her knowing. It was a matter of not being very experienced in dealing with… what’s it called? Ah, yeah. Other people. I’ve contracted a rather pathological obsession that I'm not entirely sure is legal. And somewhere along the way, I stopped being the only one having it. Have you ever craved someone so much you'd do anything to see her every day? Ever been so intoxicated by her that you'd sacrifice your own sanity? I did. And I don’t intend to stop.

Summary: "A sexy "no boundaries" stalkerish Valentine's Day romance." He was the best Cuddler and, ultimately, the best Lover I’d ever had. Why ruin it with silly questions, like... “Who are you?” and “How did you get in my house?” My name is Jordan West. I was 23, single, and living alone when the Valentine’s Day incident occurred. A borderline introvert living in a city of possibilities, it took a lot of effort to spiff myself up, go out there, and try to connect. An effort that usually ended in vain. So, I gave up. I do that easily. I unapologetically admit it doesn’t take much for me to throw in the towel. That’s just me, for better or worse. Probably worse. Sure, I was lonely—horny—and craved hot, exciting sex. But to be honest, I had no “game,” and my introversion prevented me from trying too hard. The few times I managed to coax myself into a club, it never seemed to end well. I had my fair share of dates when I first came to the city—I’m good-looking enough to draw attention—but no real connections. I started going out less until I was practically a recluse. No problem. I had toys—and a surplus of batteries. Still… one can’t help but crave a flesh-and-blood c*** now and then, attached to a hard-bodied, hot man who knows how to f***. But that was mostly fantasy at that point. Then one night, that fantasy came to life in the most disturbing and, dare I say, exciting way—with no effort whatsoever from me. Perfect. He came, we came, and I… let it happen? I’m pretty sure it wasn’t my choice, but I digress...
