'So tight,' he said, watching my face. 'Right there, isn't it?' I couldn't answer. He crooked his fingers against it again, again, again, relentless, while his thumb found my clit and pressed tight circles. The sounds coming out of me weren't mine. High and broken, spilling past my teeth like I couldn't hold them back. "Shhh, baby," he said. "Don't wake them up." So I but my lip so hard, to suppress my moans. ──── ୨୧ ──── He's the heir to the billion dollar business. She's the maid's daughter. And she's the one girl he was never supposed to notice. Lana has spent years avoiding the Beaumont family and everything their name represents. Until her mother gets injured, forcing Lana to take her place inside the mansion and directly into Neo Beaumont's bedroom. He's arrogant. She's unimpressed.

The second his hands slide over her hips, restraint shatters. Intoxicated by her heat, desperate to taste her until there's no going back. One kiss undoes them both, turning secret late night touches into something deeper. She was sent to clean his bedroom, but Neo has no intention of letting her leave his bed. They're playing with fire in a house built on arrogance. Because if his cold, unforgiving family catches them, Lana could lose everything before she reaches her goals. And it can tear both their worlds apart.

The worst kind of love is the kind that stays after you leave. 💔 Eric Mercer built himself from nothing. No family. No safety net. Just the agency, the man who mentored him, and the borrowed family who set a place for him at their table like he belonged there. Then he fell in love with their daughter. Mia Vaughn was his trainee. Then his wife. Then the closest thing Eric had ever had to a home. Until three days changed everything. What happened while Eric was away is something neither of them talks about. Not to friends. Not to family. Maybe not even to each other. Whatever they lost, their marriage went with it. Two years later, they still work in the same building. Still pass each other like strangers. Still share a marriage certificate neither has ended and a house neither has managed to sell. Professional contact. Zero personal. Until Malcolm Sinclair puts them on the same mission. A compromised asset. A small city in Mexico. One safehouse. And three officers. Eric. Mia. And Jonah Carter-the man she chose after him. The man who knows exactly whose estranged wife he's been sleeping with. And isn't apologising for it. Three weeks is a long time to share four walls with the woman you married too fast and lost too slowly. A long time to pretend you don't remember how it felt when she still reached for you. A long time to watch another man make her laugh and wonder when she stopped doing that with you. And an even longer time to avoid the one thing neither of you has been brave enough to face: Maybe what destroyed you wasn't that you stopped loving each other. Maybe it was that you never did. Some things don't stay buried just because you stopped digging. Some things claw their way back on their own. And some loves don't know when they're supposed to die. ⚠️ This book will contain explicit sexual content between consenting adults (18+), crude language, trauma and pregnancy loss

When duty demanded a queen, he fell in love with the only woman he couldn't have. Prince Alfred of Verdalia has everything: wealth, power, and a crown waiting to be claimed. But he craves the one thing he was never allowed to touch: me. I am Maria Daniella Rodriguez. I am stubborn, reckless, and entirely ordinary. I am the girl he kissed once in Madrid, and the girl he found again when the world told him to forget. Our love is treason. Every stolen touch is a scandal that could topple a throne. We are trapped in a game where duty is the heaviest burden, and hearts are the first thing to be sacrificed. In a world where crowns are heavier than hearts, we are forced to choose: The love that could destroy us, or the throne that was never ours to begin with.

I can save almost anyone's heart-except the one that mattered most. On my twenty-seventh birthday, my husband Spencer collapsed and died in my arms, leaving me with nothing but the echo of his love and the ghost of a future we never had. Two years later, I'm still running-from the grief that won't let go, through endless shifts, sleepless nights, and the sterile walls of Cedars-Sinai. But when a new case rips open old wounds-and an unexpected connection slips past my defenses-I'm forced to face the cracks in my armor. Do I keep surviving in the shadows of the past... or finally fight for the chance to live-and love-again? Because the man I can't stop wanting is my sister's ex- my secret first love- and worse, the one who never got over her.

When Isla Bennett boards a flight to the Caribbean, she expects escape. She gets disaster. After a devastating crash into the ocean, Isla and former Coast Guard rescue swimmer Knox Wilder are the only survivors. They cling to debris, drift through the burning sea, and wash onto a deserted island with no food, no shelter, and no rescue in sight. Knox is all control, command, and buried guilt. Isla is grief, fury, and hope with teeth. They're strangers. Enemies. The last two people alive. And the island will test every part of them. As the days stretch into months, survival forces them together. Wound care turns intimate. Body heat turns dangerous. Hatred turns into desire neither of them can deny. And in the middle of storms, hunger, and failed rescue attempts, Isla and Knox find something neither of them was looking for. Love. But when they are finally rescued after 183 days, the real world is waiting with cameras, questions, and doubts. Were they in love? Or just surviving? Isla knows the answer. And the tiny heartbeat inside her may be the only proof she needs.

"You dye your hair with that wild blue streak to scare me or the horses, Harley?" Teasing my sister's best friend is one of my favourite things to do. Harley has been working as the riding trainer at Whispering Pines Ranch long enough to know one rule- stay away from Wes McCoy. Too bad he's everywhere. Tall, tattooed, and wearing that cowboy hat like trouble was tailor-made for him, Wes just happens to be Lily Mae's older brother... which means avoiding him is impossible. The tension between them has been building for years-quiet glances across the stables, arguments that spark a little too easily, and a chemistry neither of them wants to admit. Harley knows better than to cross that line. Wes knows better than to want her. But in Whispering Pines, some lines were made to be broken. And once they do... there may be no going back
