"We could just . . . *do it*, you know," he says now, teasingly. "Clear all that sexual tension up with one quick ten minute session?" I seriously hope he's joking, but I'm not certain he is. Either way, I can't prevent the exasperated huff of laughter that escapes my lips at those words. "You must be dreaming if you think there's *any* sexual tension between us," I scoff. "Anyway, I'd rather not be another notch on your bedpost, thanks very much." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Ruby Rafferty has won the ultimate prize - a luxury holiday in Crete! In theory, it couldn't be more perfect - endless sun, Greek food, an unlimited free bar . . . There's only one problem. The man she has no choice but to share the prize with. Lewis Sheridan may be ridiculously attractive, but he is also cocky, cynical, and comes complete with his own specific set of red flags. He's everything Ruby has never wanted in a guy, and she's not sure she can survive *one* day alone with him, let alone ten. It's *fine*, though . . . Their suite is massive, the cocktails are flowing, and Ruby can't help but notice how handsome and charming the hotel manager is. If only he didn't think she and Lewis were already a couple . . . Will forced proximity push our vacationers closer or further apart? Can enemies really become lovers? And what will happen if anyone realises they're technically on holiday under false pretences? I guess we're about to find out . . . Cover by @jspromcoms

Logan Romano didn't just enter the NHL. He tore through it. Dark. Brooding. Untouchable. With brutal talent and a reputation as cold as the New York winter, Logan dominates both the ice and every room he walks into. He doesn't lose. He doesn't bend. And he certainly doesn't fall in love. Not after the last time. Not until November Levine crashes into his life like a beam of sunlight he never asked for. She's warmth where he's storm clouds. She's soft where he's jagged edges. A walking contradiction to everything Logan swore he needed. When a deal forces the polar opposites under one roof, tensions ignite fast. Teasing turns to feuds. Feuds turn into something dangerously close to desire. And Logan is forced to confront the one promise he's never broken. Because once you step into the light- it's impossible to return. ✩ Grumpy x sunshine • forced proximity • slow burn Will the hockey captain cross that line? ✩ "Nova." I whisper, my voice low and hoarse against her neck. "Stop it." "Stop what." She whimpers back innocently as her thighs tighten around my hips. My teeth nip at the skin on her jaw in warning. "Either stop teasing, or put me out of my fucking misery." November pulls her head back from mine, resting it against the wall, and bats her lashes up at me. "Say please."

A hauntingly beautiful romance about ice, isolation, and learning to feel safe again. Jacinta Vale skates alone. In the world of competitive figure skating, perfection is everything - and Jacinta is close. But behind her flawless routines lies a girl quietly unraveling. Pushed to the edge by a mother obsessed with image and a brother who controls her every move - with bruises no one sees - Jacinta survives in silence. Every glide on the ice is a way to escape. To disappear. Benadict Harrow is used to leading from the front - captain of the high school hockey team, steady under pressure, and respected even when he doesn't speak much. He's not close with Connor Vale, Jacinta's older brother and one of the team's most brutal players. But he knows something's off about him. When Ben and Jacinta's paths start to cross - early mornings at the rink,, an accidental rescue - something begins to shift. She's not just the quiet figure skater anymore. She's hurting. And he sees her. What starts as quiet friendship turns into something fragile and real - the kind of love that feels dangerous when you've spent your whole life pretending you're okay. But when the truth about Jacinta's home life starts to surface, both of them will be forced to make a choice: stay quiet and safe... or speak up and risk everything. Because sometimes, love isn't about falling - it's about learning how to stand.

Delancey Grey has never considered herself extraordinary. Despite her beauty, she's always blended quietly into the world, collecting crushes but never real love. That all changes the night of a junior-year party, when she meets Gage Ryan the wealthy, reckless golden boy who seems completely out of her reach. A year later, Delancey walks into a new version of herself, and suddenly the boy who never noticed her... can't look away. By senior year, what grows between them is more than a crush, more than a fling... but one choice, one secret, one moment, shatters everything. Their almost-love twists into miscommunication, unfinished feelings, and a tension neither can escape. Some love stories aren't about perfect timing. Some love stories linger. And some follow you for years, refusing to be forgotten.

Ethan Knight is living his life just as he imagined it. Being the captain of the basketball team, he has to make sure they win this year's championship, which will further solidify his chances of being drafted, his dream for as long as he can remember. With his senior year beginning, he plans to do exactly what he has done for the last few years; avoid all the distractions. But what happens when a distraction he might actually like, comes along? Iris Reed is a simple person who had very complicated parents growing up. Starting college at Willow Creek, she finally felt like her life was falling into place.

Book 2: Iris and Elias' story continues, she's just as stubborn. He's even more obsessed. The biggest test in a relationship is time some say, though for this couple it seems to be battling the past. That has not changed. Elias Jones. He's your classic golden boy. Too much money to spend, too many fans to thank and too much talent to waste. But he's got his eyes set on one girl and he'll stop at nothing until he has her. Iris Moore. She has too many burdens to carry, too many kids to feed, too many responsibilities for a high schooler. But she's a fighter and he won't let her lose.

Blake Turner has one goal: survive the next eighteen months, get her diploma, and disappear. Everything else-her boyfriend, her friends, her once-perfect life-is already gone. All that's left is endurance. Eighteen more months of keeping quiet. Of hiding the truth about what happens behind closed doors. Of pretending everything is fine when nothing is. She can make it. She has to. Liam Cole doesn't do attachments. Not when loyalty to his crew is the only thing that's kept him alive these past two years. Dragged into gang life too young, his world is built on violence, loyalty, and nights that end with no names exchanged. His past haunts him. His future? Already decided. His heart? Off-limits. Hardened. Untouchable. But when he crosses paths with the school's most hated outcast-the quiet girl everyone whispers about-everything he thought he knew begins to unravel. But some secrets refuse to stay buried... And when the truth finally breaks free, it leaves no one untouched.

Ava Baker has always been careful. Careful who she trusts, careful who she lets in, careful not to let the darkness of her past define her. But when Miles Bacardi, the boy who was once her everything, disappears the day she needs him most. She's left to face grief, secrets, and a world that doesn't forgive mistakes. Years later, they're thrown back together as college lab partners. He's colder now, sharper, and distant in ways that make her heart ache. She's hiding bruises no one can see, chaos behind every smile, and a fear that some things can't be fixed. Every glance, every argument, every accidental touch sparks memories they both tried to bury. Old feelings stir alongside new desires, and the past refuses to stay buried. Ava doesn't want saving. Miles doesn't want to care. But some connections won't be ignored-and some fires refuse to die. As secrets, lies, and lingering danger threaten to tear them apart, can they survive the past, and each other, or will everything they've fought to protect burn away?

𝐋𝐈𝐎𝐑𝐀 𝐀𝐒𝐇𝐖𝐘𝐍 wears pain like a second skin. It's all she's ever known, etched into her bones, buried beneath forced smiles and hollow laughter. Once passionate, once burning bright, now nothing but ash and ruin. She pretends well, but behind the sharp tongue and unbothered eyes lies a girl screaming to be seen, yet terrified someone actually might. 𝐀𝐑𝐄𝐒 𝐌𝐎𝐑𝐑𝐈𝐍 was born into a world already at war with him. Pain wasn't just a chapter in his life, it was the whole book. Raised in shadows, fed by poison, his lungs filled with smoke and silence. He never asked for love. He never believed he deserved it. Drugs kept the demons quiet. Cigarettes kept his hands busy. Until her. The only good card he's ever been dealt, fragile, feral, and just as broken as him. Together, Liora and Ares are destruction wrapped in desire. A love not meant to be touched, yet impossible to resist. It's messy. Chaotic. Addictive. It's the kind of love that leaves scars, and still, they keep reaching for each other, again and again. What happens when two shattered souls try to build something whole out of ruin?
