Be careful out in the woods.
You might run into the love of your life.

What an incredible nature walk… until I end up lost and hurt.

I’m stuck. Helpless.

I think it’s a bear lumbering toward me, but no… this guy is even grumpier. Surly, even. Barrett seems to soften a bit around the edges when he sees that I’m not the average loud, littering tourist passing through his small town.

This handsome older man doesn’t seem to realize he’s so sexy I can hardly breathe. He’s as massive as the mountain, and nearly as quiet. His tree trunk arms feel like my shelter, and his soulful eyes possess a stillness that I find inspirational.

He’s extremely protective. Almost too much. And he definitely wants me.

This wild lust overtakes us both, but it seems too quick to be something everlasting.

Could this gorgeous mountain man truly be obsessed already?

A tattooed, touch-averse alpha becomes the sunshine to a grieving woman’s darkness—but the secret connecting him to her family’s brutal murder could destroy the love that’s healing them both. From USA Today bestselling author Michelle Heard.

Kelcie

After losing my entire family in a brutal attack, I’m drowning in grief. The only bright spot? My mysterious new neighbor, Levi—a tattooed bestselling author who somehow understands my pain.

He’s grumpy, he’s damaged, and he hates being touched. Except by me.

Levi

I moved next door to Kelcie for one reason: to make sure she’s okay after the tragedy that took her family. A tragedy I know more about than I should.

She’s the only person whose touch doesn’t make my skin crawl. The only one who makes me want to be whole again.

But I’m hiding a devastating secret—one that connects me to the worst night of her life. And when she discovers the truth, it could destroy the fragile love we’ve built from our broken pieces.

Lyra Izacalli does not clutch onto the jagged remnants of her past—she buries them deep beneath her skin.

To feel is to give power to the past—to let grief and memory carve through her like a blade. But Lyra refuses to let them win. She will not let the sharpened words of men who call themselves nobles and kings cut deeper than they deserve. If they cannot wound her, they cannot control her. And if they cannot control her, then freedom is hers to claim—despite her feeling anything but free. But when an unexpected opportunity arises, Lyra is thrust into the deadly entrance exams of an elite academy, where only nobility thrive. But first, she must strike a blood wager with a capricious king—one that could win Lyra her freedom or cost her life… if the exams don’t kill her first.

A world that rejects her. A forgotten journal that will redefine her. A band of dangerous wielders that hunt her. And then there is him—the one who found her, who should have been nothing more than a mentor—the person to unravel her.

But Lyra is not here for love. She is here to win. And as the walls she has spent years fortifying begin to fracture as truth after daunting truth break free—

The world will come to understand…

A girl who refuses to lose does not break.

She erupts.A Requiem for Fallen Stars is a fast-paced, emotionally charged fantasy romance where power is a game, freedom comes at a price, and love is the most dangerous risk of all. With unique trials, forgotten knowledge, and a heroine who refuses to break, this novel is perfect for fans of high-stakes political intrigue, slow-burning tension, found family, and the kind of sharp-edged romance that lingers long after the final page.

An epic and unforgettable love story begins in Binding 13, the first in the international bestselling and TikTok-phenomenon The Boys of Tommen series, from Chloe Walsh.

He wants to save her. She wants to hide.

She’s damaged. He’s determined.

Fate brought them together. Love binds them.

Johnny Kavanagh is the definition of popular. He is an all-star rugby player with loads of friends, which means he should be enjoying the many perks of his life. But what people don’t know is that he has been dealing with a painful injury that could halt the magnificent trajectory of his career. This means he has no time for distractions or mistakes. Especially not a girlfriend.

Shannon Lynch has been bullied all her life. She is shy and would rather hide herself away to make it through school. But when she arrives at Tommen College for a fresh start, she meets the notorious Johnny Kavanagh on her first day in a not-so-romantic way. What follows is a complicated friendship that turns into undeniable chemistry. It seems that Shannon won’t be able to hold onto the anonymous status she once hoped for. But maybe that’s alright?

Johnny won’t give up on Shannon. No matter what it might cost them both.

Three ridiculously hot men in tiny second-grade desks at my parent-teacher conference would’ve been hilarious… if they weren’t the same three men from my one-night stand. Now their kids are in my class. Just peachy.

I’ve spent years raising my autistic son alone, pretending I’ve got everything under control while my ADHD brain runs on caffeine and color-coded sticky notes. If anyone finds out I’m falling for three single dads, I’ll be hauling my classroom plants to my car in a sad cardboard box. Too bad these men are every bad decision I’ve ever wanted to make.

There’s Cole—the ex-Navy SEAL who looks like the tattooed gods my mama warned me about. Luke—the buttoned-up control freak who folds my laundry without asking and has discovered the fastest way to keep my attention… one spanking at a time. And Ben—the charming flirt who laughs at all my jokes… until the door closes and I’m the one begging for more.

Sharing me for one night was easy for them, but falling for me is tearing them apart. I’d rather lose all three than become the crack that finally breaks them. So I made a plan: stay away from them, protect their friendship, and avoid getting fired by the predator who calls himself my boss.

Then a whole row of positive pregnancy tests lined up on my best friend’s bathroom sink blew my plan to hell.

Single Dad Problems is a laugh-out-loud, spicy why-choose rom-com featuring three single dads, a neurodivergent heroine, forbidden romance, and a guaranteed HEA.

I’m in trouble.

A quick and dirty hookup with the hunky mechanic I just met is bad enough.

But when that God-like twenty-year-old turns out to be a student in my English class, I know it’s about to get much worse.

Pax Smith isn’t just the star player on the rugby team at Florence U and the hottest man I’ve ever been with. He also has a dark sordid past, and it’s written in the deep scars all over his face.

Not to mention—he’s in the closet.

Which means I have his secret. And he hates that.

What started as a one-time thing has turned into something neither of us were ready for.

And I’m not ready to let this wounded bully go.

Evan Simmons used to be my best friend. But when I confessed my feelings to him, he rejected me.

I haven’t seen or spoken to him in five years… that is, until now. I came to Lake Arrowhead to be the maid of honor in a wedding, and Evan just happens to be the best man.

I’ve thought about this moment so many times, how I would play it cool and show him I’ve moved on.

But Evan seems to look at me differently now, and it’s digging up some old feelings I thought I’d buried a long time ago.

***
Cat Gallagher used to be my best friend. But I had to be honest when she blindsided me with her crush: we weren’t compatible.

She’s too innocent for my lifestyle of ropes and handcuffs. My depravity runs deep, and a sweet girl like Cat has no idea what I like to do to women.

Five years later, I run into her at a wedding, and seeing her again makes me realize how much I’ve missed her.
She says she’s not so innocent anymore, and it makes me wonder… can she handle my darkest fantasies after all?

This book is for fans of second chances and friends-to-lovers romance. The male lead is mindful of consent and has vulnerable moments, so if that’s not your type of book boyfriend, this story isn’t for you (and that’s okay!).

If you like your romance dark, chances are you’ll find this book to be rather tame. If you don’t read dark romance, this book may or may not have you clutching your pearls. Please check the author’s website for TWs: www.katimcrae.com
