In a season ruled by marriage, Lily Ashbourne wants knowledge. As the outspoken daughter of a duke, Lily is expected to charm, smile, and choose wisely among the many suitors parading through her family's estate. But Lily finds herself unmoved by titles and flattery, far more intrigued by books, ideas, and the quiet intelligence of a man who does not seek her attention at all. Sir Edmund Hale is a scholar. He is reserved, and utterly uninterested in the spectacle of the Ton. When circumstance forces their paths to cross, Lily discovers in him something rare: a mind that challenges her own and a world of learning she has been denied.

Most love stories start before the fireworks-before the passion, before the chaos. But not this one. Youssef El-Masri is the ruthless king of the Egyptian Mafia, worshipped and feared in equal measure. His empire is soaked in blood, his throne forged from bone and gold. And ruling right beside him is Nafisa Monroe-a stunning, sharp-tongued Black woman with queen energy so potent, entire cities kneel in her presence. She's not his weakness-she's his mirror, his madness, his equal in every way. Married, madly in love, and dangerously codependent, Youssef and Nafisa are the very definition of chaos in perfect harmony. They make war in the morning and love by moonlight. They speak in bullets, kiss through blood, and protect each other with the fury of a thousand suns. But when an old enemy resurfaces, threatening the empire they've built and the trust they've sworn in blood, the couple must decide how far they'll go to protect what's theirs. Their love is toxic to some, terrifying to many-but to them, it's the only thing pure in a world of shadows. Steamy. Savage. Unapologetically unhinged.

They said he was quiet. Cold. Unreachable. But I saw what they didn't - the obsession behind his stare. We weren't supposed to meet. We weren't supposed to touch. Now I can't breathe when he's near... and I suffocate when he's gone. Something about him feels ancient. Familiar in a way that makes my bones ache. I think I've known him before. And I think the last time, I didn't survive.

"Why do you want me?" "You want to know why I want you?" He exhales, like he's been holding this in for weeks. "I want you because I don't date for fun. I don't do temporary. I want you because when I think about marriage, your face is the only one there. I want you because if I ever have kids, I want them to have you as their mother. I want you because you're the love of my life." A beat. "And I want you because everything in me settles when you're with me."

+18 Igor patted his thigh-slow, deliberate. "Come here," he said, voice thick with amusement. "Sit on my lap. You look tense." Etta stood her ground, she didn't want him to win. His smirk deepened "You want to see what happens when I ask again?" **** When Etta agrees to a spontaneous trip to Russia with her best friend, she expects snow, sightseeing, and maybe a little adventure-not to be hunted down by a brooding, relentless police officer with icy dark grey eyes and a claim that burns. Igor doesn't ask. He takes. And from the moment he sees her... she's his. WARNING: This story contains dark themes, obsession, NASTY sexual scenes, Reader discretion is advised.

He blocked her in. She shut him down. Now, the whole town is waiting for the explosion. Sage Woodson didn't come back to Liberty Creek to fall in love. She came to bury her grandfather, sell his estate, and get back to her life as a high-powered Chicago ER nurse. She has a plan, a timeline, and zero patience for the locals. Especially not for the arrogant Fire Captain driving a midnight-blue F-150 who thinks he owns the road. Captain Connor Stapleton is used to being the hero. He's used to respect. He is not used to a curly-haired tourist publicly questioning his manhood in a crowded coffee shop parking lot. They were supposed to be enemies. But when Sage inherits her grandfather's rusted-out 1969 Chevelle, she realizes the only mechanic in town skilled enough to save it is the very man she swore to avoid. A wager is struck: Connor has one week to get the engine running. If he fails, Sage leaves for good. If he succeeds? She owes him a date. But late nights in a humid garage have a way of blurring the lines between fighting and flirting. As the engine roars to life, so does a possessive, feral hunger that neither of them expected. Connor doesn't just want a date. He wants to ruin her for anyone else. And Sage is realizing that the only thing scarier than leaving... might be staying. Small town. Big truck. Massive attitude.

Daria Cole never expected her quiet high-school tutor partner to return as the new Mafia King of New York. Nico Costa. Bigger. Colder. Tattooed. And looking at her like she's the only softness he'll ever touch. She thinks they're just friends. He knows better. "Say the word," he murmured against my neck, "and I'll ruin any man who thinks he can touch what's mine." A soft, innocent girl. A very dangerous man. Five years of tension ready to explode.
