Thalia, an unremarkable slave by day, blossoms into one of Rome's most celebrated singers when the sun sets. Rome's Songbird is what they call her.

Alex, a centurion on leave, faces the music when left idle in Rome. Nearly desperate to return to his station in Glanum, he is forced to reevaluate his life, and he ultimately finds that his current routine is devoid of meaning.

Snowfall by CarollovetteNovelist

He walked through the thick snow over the ground, holding his jacket closer for warmth as his eyes fell over the security guards standing around holding guns and breathing into the cold. He sighs as he stepped forwards, finding his best friend standing near the mansion gate stairs. "You are fucing late!" Lucien Groans as Atlas stood facing him. "It's Snowfall!" Atlas speaks as a ball of snow flies to him and he dodges and another one strikes Lucien. "Lixue Rodriguez!" Lucien hissed in anger as a bundle of laughter hit their ear drums. Security turns their head to watch but only lowers their gaze as Victoria Lixue Rodriguez walked with a bunch of bouncers following her around. "You are Lame!" Atlas shifts his eyes as his grayish-green orbs locked with her cerulean eyes and his laugh died as they met. The heavy snowfall fall around as security marched changing their position. "Lixue, get inside before you catch a cold!" Lucien warned as Royal security marched around them. "You got a bunch of a-holes to watch her!" Atlas comments as he ignored her walking past inside the mansion. "You are going back to your room princess before dad walks in and finds you here!" Lucien warned Lixue as he walked inside behind Atlas. He fell for her the moment his eyes met with her cerulean eyes as the snowfall fell over them. She was the forbidden fruit of the Royal family while He was the Mafia leader. They kept her protected while he was always making threats. Most of all. She was his Best-friend Sister! Victoria Lixue Rodriguez was the girl Atlas Lloyd Ainsworth wasn't supposed to fall in love with.

"So... what about us?" he asked, and I looked at him, a bit bewildered. "What?" I inquired. "You and me... what are we, Sera? You know how you affect me. You make me feel like I'm losing my mind, and I feel incomplete when you're not around. I yearn for your touch, your scent, and everything about you drives me wild," he admitted, his words close to my face. I let out a shaky breath as I felt a warmth spread through my body. "Thad, I think you're getting something wrong," I began, but he interrupted me. "No, you're the one refusing to admit that you're feeling the same way I am," he insisted, causing me to fall silent.

Valiantly Yours, by sheromania1012

Venus Williams had everything most could only dream of-a life of privilege, sophistication, and the kind of effortless success that came from never having to struggle. At Burbington High, she was untouchable, a student of high society, reigning supreme as Student President. Politics, manipulation, and control were her weapons, and she wielded them with precision. But there was one thing she had never known: the true depth of love or pleasure, and, perhaps more crucially, the harsh sting of pain. Her life was a perfect, curated world, until she found herself stuck in the most unlikely of places-a tight corner, humiliated and sneered at by none other than Frank Harris, the school's janitor. The encounter was unexpected, and frankly, beneath her. Venus wasn't used to being challenged, let alone being taken down a peg by someone like him. Frank Harris had seen the worst life had to offer. Born from the grittiest circumstances, he had learned early that good things never lasted, that hope was a fleeting thing. He had long since stopped believing in anything but his own resilience. Yet, he couldn't seem to avoid Venus. She was always there, in the most compromising of situations, and every time they crossed paths, they couldn't help but clash. Their exchanges were filled with biting sarcasm, insults, and a constant, unsaid tension. They bickered, they degraded each other, and still, they circled around one another, two forces that couldn't help but collide. Neither was willing to admit it, but something about the constant pull between them was undeniable. The question remained: How long would they keep circling? And when the inevitable finally happened, would they crash, or would something deeper, darker, rise between them-something neither of them was prepared to face? [ The Fifth Book of V-Series] A Standalone Novel.

Venturously Yours, by sheromania1012

Eliot Gerard has always found her visits to her twin sister Elixir's farm in the lush, sun-drenched countryside of Germany to be more of a duty than a joy. Their relationship has always been fraught with tension-two halves of the same whole who could never seem to click. Every visit was a reminder of the distance between them, both emotional and physical. She knew exactly what to expect... until she didn't. This time, something is different. A stranger. Octavius Weber. A tall, striking German man with a magnetic charm, someone she's never met on any of her previous visits. He seems to materialize out of thin air, his presence both a mystery and a magnet. And he's undeniably intrigued by her-something in his eyes burns with curiosity, and she can't help but wonder what's behind it. For Octavius, meeting Eliot is an unexpected shock. Elixir's enigmatic twin sister, the one he's heard about but never imagined existed, stands before him, stirring a mix of intrigue and something more dangerous. But there's a problem-he's always harbored feelings for Elixir, feelings that are unresolved and tangled with loyalty. He can't touch Eliot, can't cross that line, not when she's the mirror image of the woman he's tried to forget. Caught in a vortex of burning desire and temptation, both are trapped by forces they can't control. A pull so fierce, so undeniable, that it threatens to betray the very foundation of all their relationships. The question is no longer if they will fall-it's how deep the fall will be, and whether they can ever escape the tangled web they've woven before it consumes them both. [The Eighth Book of the V-Series] A Standalone Novella.

I heard you by MissAutumnBlue

Lotticia Andrews had spent her entire life behind the walls of her library. Her father raised her to be selfish, and to fear the outside, and even after his death- she never left. She and her border collie had remained- until their food ran out. Lotticia wasn't a fighter, she only ever knew how to use knives- a knife her father had taught her how to use. A knife, a dog, a journal, and anxiety are all her father left her with. And books- hundreds of books. Then a Warrior general stomps his way into her life- trampling her solitary and lonely life. He's loud and obnoxious, imposing- but there seemed more beneath his hard exterior. His personality was a weapon he wore like his armor. General Christoph was a harsh leader compared to his predecessor Zelle. The warrior who trained him and chose him to continue in his footsteps after his death. He was bitter and cynical- and didn't intend to take another woman after his mate had died all those years ago. But things don't always go according to plan- he never meant to stumble upon a small female, nor her furry big-eyed dog. Christoph needed this human, for her knowledge and the language she could help them to understand her hand language. A small group, a one-day trip- that was all it was supposed to be. But then no one expected poachers, Another human female, or the natural cycle and what it could do to the human body. Christoph had completely underestimated the trip. Now war has broken out and tensions rise- both buried feelings and skeletons come falling out of the closet. Can this spunky smart girl survive the Palace's wrath? Can Christoph face the reality that things aren't always what they seem nor black and white? Will Lassie play her part- and find her way home? Who knows- maybe humanity was doomed on Earth- but that won't be Lottie or her dog- because she's willing to do whatever it takes to get moved up to the front of the list. Even if it means dealing with the palace, poachers, and skrill alike.

My Best Friend's Gorgeous Boyfriend (18+) by myauraismoonstone

"Care to play?" I asked, dangling a pair of handcuffs from my finger. He arched a brow at me as I fastened one of the rings around his wrist and threaded the toy through a slat in his headboard. "Just say no, and we can stop all of this right now," I continued. But he didn't. Instead, he raked his gaze over my body with an unbridled hungry desire. He had never stared at me so fervently before, but it was everything I had yearned for and instantly made me wet for him. As I locked up his other hand, I pouted at him. "This is the punishment you get for making me want you," I purred. Then straddling his hips, I slid my hand inside my panties and began touching myself. "Mm, that feels so good," I sighed, stroking my fingers around. Glancing up, I found him intently watching me, an expression of dark arousal upon his face. He bit his lip, and I could feel his excitement growing beneath me as he writhed against his restraint. It was all the confirmation I needed that he was finally mine to do with exactly as I pleased. And I was never one to shy away from a steamy fun time. Best friends aren't supposed to keep secrets from one another but that's exactly what childhood pals, Addison Miller and Vanessa Adams find themselves doing.

Vanessa's brother, Jake, finally finds love in this enemies to lovers trope.
