ESPRESSO by rhodaverse_

"Tell me to leave," he said, his voice a low, dangerous whisper that sent shivers cascading down my spine. My breath hitched as I met his piercing gaze, my heart racing in my chest. "And if I don't?" His lips curled into a slow, wicked smile, his eyes dark and consuming, laced with something that made my pulse quicken. He leaned closer, his voice dropping even further. "Then don't blame me for what happens next." "You're playing a very dangerous game, Leo," I managed to say, though my voice trembled as my eyes flicked to his lips. "Am I?" he murmured, his tone soft yet devastating. "Because from where I'm standing, you're the one pulling the strings." His smirk was ever-present, and the amusement dancing in his eyes told me he was thoroughly enjoying this-and it was dangerous for both of us. ~~~~ They were both hiding, but neither expected to be found. Calista Carlisle, Hollywood's sweetheart, escapes to the sleepy town of Mendocino after a public breakup turns her life into tabloid fodder. She's traded red carpets for creaky coffee shop chairs, hoping to stay invisible. But nothing stays quiet for long-not when Leo Donovan, the maddeningly smug owner of the café, keeps finding ways to break through her defenses. Leo isn't just any barista. Billionaire by birth, recluse by choice, he's traded boardrooms for espresso machines, running his late mother's café chain under the radar. He's done with the high-stakes world of fame and fortune-until Calista waltzes into his café and flips his carefully curated life upside down. Their connection is magnetic, but the secrets they're running from might pull them apart. In a town too small for pasts as messy as theirs, one thing becomes clear: they're either each other's safe haven-or their ultimate undoing. "They were supposed to be each other's escape-until they became each other's greatest temptation."

Whispers of the Crimson Shadow by that_wittywriter

Ever wondered what hides in the shadows of the quietest minds? In a small, unsuspecting town, people start disappearing-first one, then another. At first, it seems random, but every victim has something in common. Each carries a secret so dark, it could ruin their lives... if they were still alive. Meet Eren. The charming barista who remembers your favorite coffee order. The polite neighbor who waters your plants when you're away. The guy everyone trusts. But behind his warm smile is a mind that thrives on chaos and blood-a predator hiding in plain sight. As Detective Mira Lane digs deeper into the cases, her gut tells her there's more to these murders than meets the eye. But how do you catch a killer who knows how to blend in so perfectly? Someone who could be the person you'd least suspect? Dark, twisted, and chillingly personal, "Whispers of the Crimson Shadow" will make you question the faces you trust and the secrets you keep. Care to step into the mind of a monster?

The Lies in Between by DevinaBrooklyn

When family is on the line, Alexis doesn't hesitate to get her hands dirty. Growing up in foster care, she learned the hard way-the only person she can trust is herself... and her siblings. But when one reckless mistake puts them all in danger, she's desperate for a way out. And that comes in the form of Desmond Woods- renowned billionaire and politician. His problem? With a governorship election on the horizon, everything needs to be perfect. But something is off with his son-and Desmond doesn't like unknown variables. His deal? Move into his estate. Keep tabs on his son. Report back. Her payout? Her siblings get the safety they deserve. Simple, right? Wrong Nothing about the Woods family is simple. Damon Woods is perfect-too perfect... At least when he's not being a pain in the ass. He's the picture-perfect son, following every step in his father's carefully laid path. What he could possibly be hiding? Alexis has no idea. But a deal is a deal. And there's no backing out. She should focus on Damon. Instead, she stumbles onto something bigger. Something dangerous. Something that has nothing to do with the Woods family-yet somehow, they're right in the middle of it. And now? So is she. Some secrets are meant to stay buried. And Alexis might not survive digging this one up. ---

Perfect Storm by JeniRaeD

Enemies to lovers- Boss/employee- Bickering and Bantering- Billionaire romance Second chance romance HEA romance novel If it weren't for bad luck, I'd have no luck at all. When I saw a job opportunity to work at a resort a few hours north of the cities, including a place to stay, rent-free, I jumped on it. But, unfortunately, what I didn't know was that the one who owned the resort was a man I owed a huge chunk of money to. All because of an accident I still believe he caused. Ian Lockwood isn't like any other guy I've ever met. The man's devastatingly handsome, gorgeous to be exact, and his green eyes are so damn intoxicating and intense that they wretchedly became windows to my soul. But he had one ugly attitude that turned me off. Calling Ian a jerk is an understatement. He's a straight-up asshole. Every time we're around each other, he does and says whatever he can to get my blood to boil. And he enjoys every minute of it. The problem I have with him is that he's an enemy. Yet whenever I'm near him, the irresistible fragrance that pours off him enhances my desires, and the area between my thighs intensively pulsates. And if my attraction to the asshole increases, I'm afraid he'll catch on to those feelings and take advantage of it by using me to pay off my debt. Even though Ian gets under my skin, I find myself falling for him the more bickering and bantering we do every time we're around each other. And if I can't get these uncontrollable desires of being with Ian under control, I'm afraid Ian and I will find ourselves underneath the sheets. That is if I don't see myself knocking him out of his misery before then.
