Before Marlowe Ackerman goes away to Brown University, she does the bravest thing she's ever done. She confesses to her best friend, Oliver Abbott, that she is in love with him. And Oliver breaks her heart gently. To him, Marlowe is his safe place. His best friend. The one person who has always been there for him. His feelings for her have never changed, and he is certain they never will. At eighteen, Oliver is desperate for a fresh start after years of being the awkward, gangly dork. Parties, girls, fraternity life, reinvention-he wants everything he thinks college is supposed to give him. But once he gets there, nothing feels right without Marlowe. While she thrives at Brown, Oliver falls apart. He fails classes, wakes up hungover, surrounds himself with the wrong people, and slowly realizes the reason his feelings for Marlowe never changed is because he has loved her all along. But he's too late. When he goes to tell her, he finds her in bed with her boyfriend, Sam. Jealousy and heartbreak make him spit ugly, cruel words he will regret for the rest of his life. Marlowe ends their friendship for good. Ten years later, Oliver has changed. He is a history teacher at their old high school, a wrestling coach, and a man who has spent a decade learning from the worst mistake of his life. When he hears that Marlowe Ackerman is coming back to town for their high school reunion, Oliver knows better than to think he deserves a second chance. But he wants one. Not just to tell Marlowe he still loves her. To show her he has become someone worthy of loving her the way she deserves. He was her almost. Maybe now, he can be her always.

"Xander how did you know where I am, no wait scratch that why are you here instead of with your soon to be wife?" Ignoring her question I threw the papers at her, "What's this?" She glance at it, "Can't you read, it's our divorce papers?" "I know what it is but..." I stepped forward to her while she stepped backwards, she was now trapped between me and the wall. She had no where to go, I could feel her breast against my chest as they rise and fall, my hands placed on the side of her head against the flat surface not allowing her to escape. "I'm not divorcing you. Not now not ever." "Oh, really you don't have a say in that matter. Or would you like me to sue you for adultery. Save your reputation while you still can." She spat. I took a sniff, she smelt like vanilla, it was all over her, I can't wait to hold her once again. "I know what you must be thinking, and what ever it is stop thinking it. I did not sleep with her." "Oh really you could've fooled me with all that breathing and moaning, I'm not stupid. So why don't you sign the damn papers so we both can move on with our lives." "No way in hell I'm moving on without you. And I will never let you move on. Divorce or not you are mine and no one else." "Ha!" She chuckled, "I'm no one's property." "On the contrary If I have to, I will tattoo my name on your fuckable ass." She stared at me cold hard. "Tsk tsk tsk Ally, you must know baby girl you...are....it....for...me..." I breathe hard in her ear causing her to shiver. "Sorry but I don't want to stay married to a cheater." * Warning strong sexual mature language, not for kids under 18....warning xxxxx warning xxxxx

Lielle Ford and Luca Taylor have been inseparable for as long as anyone can remember-best friends, partners in crime, each other's anchor through every heartbreak and triumph. Lielle never expected to fall for him, but sometimes the heart doesn't listen, and suddenly the man she's always trusted feels impossibly out of reach. Years pass, and what was once innocent becomes complicated. Fame, public scrutiny, and whispered rumors blur the lines between right and wrong. Luca is reckless, irresistible, and effortlessly charming, while Lielle is fierce, independent, and determined never to let anyone break her. Yet even the strongest resolve can falter when desire and betrayal collide. As boundaries are crossed, feelings are tested, and secrets unravel, Lielle finds herself walking a dangerous line between loyalty, love, and temptation. Because when you've loved someone from the start, how do you survive watching them slip through your fingers-or into someone else's arms? In a world where nothing is as it seems, love is messy, hearts are fragile, and sometimes the most forbidden choices are the ones you can't resist.

One lesson I learned very early in life was to be cheerful, to be agreeable, to do as I was told and ask for nothing, and to never ever complain. Smile Maddie. Be happy Maddie. Don't make trouble and maybe they'll love you. I grew into an adult who took care of others and never expected that those I loved would take care of me in return. I gave and never asked, never expected, never demanded. Smile Maddie. Be happy Maddie. Don't make trouble and you'll find someone that will love you. And then one day, a Dragon walked into my workplace and turned my world upside down with a single wink. Having grown up watching his father treat his men like they were disposable, just meat bags to be fed into the grinder, Dragon was determined to be different when he became president of the Dragon's Inferno MC. He cares about his people. He takes care of them. He was upfront with me, taking care of his MC and those he considered to be his would always be his priority. And I agreed to that, I joined him in that mission, throwing myself into becoming the perfect old lady of the prez. Smile Maddie. Act happy Maddie. Take care of them and maybe they'll love you. Smile Maddie. Be happy Maddie. Don't complain and maybe he'll love you. I told myself I was independent. I was strong. And I didn't need my Dragon to take care of me. And I almost believed it. Almost. But now I'm watching him with her. I'm watching him comfort her. I'm watching him listen to her, support her, reassure her. I'm watching him take time from his day to check in with her. I'm watching him worry about her. I'm watching them become closer right in front of my eyes. I'm seeing every thoughtful gesture he does for her. And me? I'm not happy. I'm not smiling. I'm done being agreeable. Fuck not causing trouble. I'm about to set my Dragon's world on fire. And then I'm walking away. She can have him. For the first time in my life, I'm choosing myself.

He lives by rules. She breaks them just by existing. Atlas Priest Adams is the president of the Saints of Retribution MC-a brotherhood of former soldiers who hunt the worst monsters hiding in plain sight. He believes in control, silence, and distance. No titles. No promises. No babies. Attachments get people killed. Dr. Indigo Blue Thorne isn't looking for danger.

Neither of them is telling the truth. What starts as a no-strings arrangement turns into something deeper, even as Priest insists Blue is temporary. Then the past comes roaring back. When his brother's widow arrives at the clubhouse pregnant and desperate, Priest's silence and half-truths destroy everything Blue thought she understood. So she disappears. Months later, fate drags them back together in an ER bay-where Priest sees the woman he lost... and the child she's carrying.

PRIEST is a dark, emotional MC romance about control, miscommunication, and the cost of loving halfway-featuring a hardened hero, a strong heroine, betrayal, redemption, and a hard-won happily ever after.

For years, he and Callidora fit perfectly, until his loyalty to his late friend's little sister became the missing piece that didn't belong. What began as compassion twisted into late-night calls, quiet rescues, and promises he had no right to make.

Can Dane convince Calli that the picture they once started is still worth finishing, or has their puzzle already fallen apart for good?

Andi Doyle built her life on her own terms. She owns a coffee shop in South Boston that she's poured everything into, shows up fiercely for the people she loves, and learned one thing the hard way: she won't be an afterthought. Not for anyone. So when Gavin Byrne walks into her life with quiet intensity and a smile that makes her forget herself, she lets herself believe this one might be different. He's steady. Present. Real. Until she realizes she's been waiting for a place in his life he never fully made room for. Gavin doesn't understand what he's done until the distance between them is undeniable. He thought he had left his past where it belonged.

By the time he recognizes the cost of that mistake, Andi is already walking away. Fighting his way back to her is one thing. But reconciliation doesn't bring peace. The past he thought was settled resurfaces with its own agenda, threatening the life he's fought to protect and forcing Andi straight into the center of it. Now loving each other isn't the only risk. They'll have to decide whether what they're building is strong enough to withstand someone determined to tear it apart - or if some mistakes really do turn almost into never... or into always.
