All my life, I’ve known nothing but cruelty and pain. Currently, I’m simply trying to survive from one day to the next, when suddenly I’m standing on the back of a wagon being sold like an unwanted piece of livestock. A deep voice echoes through the crowd, only for everyone to go silent. Massive hands carry me away, and I realize I’ve been sold to the one the townsfolk call ‘Beast’. He promises gentleness, caring, possibly love … but do I have the courage to allow myself the time to see if his actions are as true as his words?

All I wanted was to be left alone. If they feared me simply because of my size, well, that was fine by me. Then I saw her there, trembling and terrified, and before I realized what I was doing, I was claiming her as my own. Only now I’m confused because I never wanted to care again. It hurts too much, but the pain in her eyes calls to my own. I know I’m a grumpy loner, but I will move heaven and hell to make her smile again, even if that means facing my own past and taking a chance to love again.

Possible trigger warnings.

Some fantasies you discover. Others discover you.

Amanda hasn’t thought about Damon in eight years—not since he ended their affair with a text message and disappeared from her life. Now she’s married to Cole, a loving husband and father to their two children. When Cole suggests she join him at the annual medical device convention in Las Vegas, she sees it as a chance to reconnect with old colleagues and enjoy a weekend without mom duties.

What she doesn’t expect is Damon.

He’s the keynote speaker. He’s successful, polished, and somehow even more magnetic than she remembered. And the unfinished business between them? Still very much unfinished.

When Cole discovers the truth about Amanda’s past with Damon, his reaction surprises them both. The jealousy he feels isn’t threatening—it’s arousing. The thought of his wife with another man doesn’t drive them apart. It ignites something neither of them knew existed.

What starts as closure becomes exploration. What begins as a secret becomes permission. And what Amanda thought was over might just be the beginning of something she never imagined wanting.

How far will they go when the rules change?

Can there be any greater challenge to London’s Ambitious Mamas than an unmarried duke?—Lady Whistledown’s Society Papers, April 1813

By all accounts, Simon Basset is on the verge of proposing to his best friend’s sister—the lovely and almost-on-the-shelf—Daphne Bridgerton. But the two of them know the truth—it’s all an elaborate ruse to keep Simon free from marriage-minded society mothers. And as for Daphne, surely she will attract some worthy suitors now that it seems a duke has declared her desirable.

But as Daphne waltzes across ballroom after ballroom with Simon, it’s hard to remember that their courtship is a sham. Maybe it’s his devilish smile, certainly it’s the way his eyes seem to burn every time he looks at her . . . but somehow Daphne is falling for the dashing duke . . . for real! And now she must do the impossible and convince the handsome rogue that their clever little scheme deserves a slight alteration, and that nothing makes quite as much sense as falling in love.

What do you do when your boyfriend cheats on you six days before your brother’s wedding? The same wedding where you’re the maid of honor and the man who obliterated your heart eight years ago is the best man?

I can tell you what you should not do. You should absolutely not have an emotional meltdown and let your soon to be sister-in-law find you crying into a glass of pink wine. Because then she will tell your overprotective big brother that you’re heartbroken (even if you’re not), and he will take it upon himself to ask the one man he trusts above all others to look out for you. Yes, same best man.

And that’s why I arrive at my beautiful secluded cabin in the woods to find Chase Hunter has already made himself at home. Despite how much I’m supposed to hate him, there are certain parts of my anatomy that don’t quite get the memo.

But I will resist at all costs. I’m not the naïve nineteen year old who thought the sun shone out of his … well, you get the picture.

No matter how charming he is, how he still takes care of me in the smallest and sweetest of ways, or how I feel even the slightest brush of his skin more deeply than I’ve felt anything else in years, I will not look into those striking blue eyes and let him fool me again.

He was my first mistake, and one I don’t plan on making again. Except … well, Chase has other ideas. He was my first everything, and he’s determined to be my last.

My First Mistake is a standalone contemporary romance from bestselling author, Sadie Kincaid. It includes:

• Brother’s best friend
• Forced Proximity
• Enemies to Lovers
• Groveling

I hooked up with Santa.
Okay—not the real one, but a sexy, older man in a tailored Santa suit at a Christmas charity party.

We were locked out together on a rooftop.
It was freezing.
He kissed me under the mistletoe… and did so much more.

But I ran before he could even ask my name.

Five years later, I’m a single mom with a sick little boy, just praying for a holiday miracle.

Then the ER curtain pulls back—and there he is.

But I recognize his tattoo— the exact one I kissed under twinkling Christmas lights.

He can never know our five-year-old boy is the result of that night.

But when he starts connecting the dots…
And my son whispers, “All I want for Christmas is a dad…”

…my secret doesn’t stand a chance.
