Noah said my waist felt “just like last night.” And Mason asked if he’d disappointed me. So… which one of them knows what really happened?

After twenty-six years of marriage, Sarah Mitchell thought she knew exactly how the rest of her life would look. She was wrong. When her husband walks away for what he calls true love, Sarah loses more than a marriage. She loses the future she spent decades building. Heartbroken and forced to start over in a small North Carolina town, Sarah begins to rediscover the dreams she abandoned long ago. Then she meets Daniel Brooks—a widowed former firefighter who sees her in a way no one has for years. As Sarah learns to build a life of her own, the man who left her begins to realize the truth: Some mistakes cost far more than you ever imagined. And sometimes the woman you took for granted is the one you'll never get back.

Neither expected their lives to collide at 30,000 feet… When exhausted tech CEO Evelyn Harrington accidentally falls asleep on a stranger’s shoulder mid-flight, she braces for humiliation.

Nathan, a single father racing to a job interview, hides a quiet fear: his little boy’s fever has spiked, and he’s not there. Evelyn has no reason to care… until she does. A small act of compassion leads to a choice that will change three lives forever.

Ghost survived black sites, torture, overseas wars, and six years of becoming something less human and more useful. Founder of BLACK VEIL. Mercenary captain. A ghost story in tactical gear. The kind of man people called when they needed a building cleared, a body retrieved, or a problem buried so deep it stopped having a name. He was silent, brutal, untouchable. Even his own men feared him. As for someone like that— Nyra Quinn, underground mechanic and illegal street racer, had one very professional opinion: “He looks like he buries people in wet cement for stress relief.” Then one day, Ghost watched her steal a motorcycle outside a bank and chase down a robber through downtown LA traffic like she’s starring in her own action movie. He’s in the middle of a sniper assignment when it happened. One second he’s calculating wind direction. The next? Nyra tackled the guy off a bike, draged him into an alley, and started beating him with her helmet... He forgot his target existed for six seconds. For the first time in eight years. ... Later, Nyra worked under the hood of BLACK VEIL’s armored SUV while six armed mercenaries stood around like emotionally constipated furniture. She didn’t look up. > “Does your boss come with a user manual, or is the mask supposed to explain the whole personality disorder?” The garage went silent. Because no one talked about Ghost. Not like that. Not in front of him. Ghost stood beside the vehicle, skull mask turned toward her. After a long pause, he said, > “Nyra.” She rolled out from under the engine with a wrench in her hand. > “What?” His grey eyes lowered to the grease on her cheek. Then to her mouth. Then back to her eyes. > “Come here.” Nyra narrowed her eyes. > “If this is a murder thing, I’m charging extra.” Ghost’s voice dropped lower. Rougher. > “I lost focus on a job today.” Nyra blinked. > “Congratulations on having a human experience?” His men stopped breathing. Ghost didn’t move. > “Because of you.” Nyra stared at him. The wrench slipped slightly in her hand. Across the garage, Kane muttered, > “We’re all completely fucked.” ① Emotionally repressed masked mercenary captain × sunshine chaos mechanic ② He kills people for touching him. She touches his mask and asks if he’s hiding scars or feelings under there. ③ Slow burn / touch-starved antihero / found family mercenaries / black humor / “she makes the monster hesitate.”

Sold to the monstrous Blackfang Alpha to save her starving pack, Lyra expects a quick death. Kael Draven is a ruthless warlord who wants her only for power—until his wolf scents something ancient in her blood and refuses to let her go. Hunted by kingdoms and marked by forgotten magic, Lyra uncovers a deadly truth: she is the last Lunar Queen. Now, she must choose her fate—goddess, ruler, or the mate of the most dangerous Alpha alive.

Hilda’s life was perfect. She had her hamster shop, a gentle fiancé, and a dream of a simple home. But a sudden gust of wind and a shimmering portal shattered everything, flinging her into Tixia—a brutal, hyper-masculine world where women are nothing but myths. To survive the starving streets, she disguises herself as a boy and stumbles into the city’s most elite establishment. There, she catches the eye of Duke Talon, a man as ruthless as he is powerful, currently suffering through a volatile heat cycle. Talon wanted a toy to soothe his rage; he didn't expect a "boy" who smelled like sweet oranges and felt like soft silk. He thought he hated men—but he’s about to discover that the "lad" in his bed is the one thing he never knew he craved.

James, a widowed single dad barely holding it together, made a quiet joke at his CEO's birthday party: “Maybe I should just marry her and solve all my problems.” He never expected Katherine Morrison—brilliant, intimidating, untouchable—to hear it.

And the mate she once hoped would save her rejected her in the basement where she slept. Then Alpha Ronan Thorne arrives to negotiate an alliance. He is powerful, crimson-eyed, and feared by men who have never feared anything. Elara expects him to believe what everyone else believes about her. Instead, he stops her brother’s raised hand. Then he changes the terms of the deal. Elara leaves with half a bag of belongings, convinced she has simply been traded to another master—until Ronan reads her the contract.

Prince Lucien Voss has been unconscious for months. His parents need an heir, but his deadly spirit wolf refuses every woman brought to his bedside. Until me.

After twelve hours caring for everyone but herself, nurse Hannah Brooks collapses on a rain-soaked Chicago sidewalk. The stranger who catches her is gentle—until her sleeve slips and he sees the bruises. Damen Moretti is a man people know better than to cross. Hannah should be frightened of his attention. Instead, when her controlling ex refuses to let her go, Damen’s home becomes the first place she can sleep without listening for footsteps. Behind closed doors, the ruthless mafia boss remembers how she takes her coffee, lets her scold him over his injuries, and looks at her as though wanting her is the one thing he cannot control. But his protection comes with enemies, and his tenderness conceals a grief he has never explained. As Hannah begins to trust him with her heart, Damen must decide how much of his carefully built empire he will risk to keep her in his arms.

For two years, I kept my head down and did my job. Then my six-year-old daughter walked into Adrian Kane’s private corridor and asked Manhattan’s most feared billionaire to be her daddy. Her reason broke my heart. His response changed everything. Adrian rules a world where powerful men obey him without question. Yet my daughter critiques his pancakes, steals his fries, and somehow makes him laugh. I should be careful. He is my boss, his family is dangerous, and Mia is already saving him a seat at our table. But then he asks to take me to dinner—without my daughter. And I begin to wonder how long he has been looking at me that way.

For nine years, Catherine “Cat” Bennett kept the clients happy, the projects moving, and her shrinking team afloat. Then HR offered her a sixty percent pay cut. Same accounts. Same responsibilities. Less than half the salary. Her boss knew she was a single mother. He knew she had a mortgage and a son who needed asthma medication. He expected her to sign. Cat cried in her car instead. Then a former colleague called. Their biggest competitor had been trying to recruit her for years—and its CEO wanted a meeting. By the time Cat returned to give HR her answer, she had a signed offer in her bag. Her boss had prepared for an employee who couldn’t afford to leave. He hadn’t prepared for what losing her would cost.

Everyone knew better than to interrupt Alessandro Moretti’s private meetings. Then a little girl in a yellow dress walked in and asked to borrow him for a day. Sophia wanted swings, ice cream, and someone to sit beside her mommy on the park bench. Maria, the maid who had raised her, expected to lose her job. Instead, New York’s most feared mafia boss cleared his schedule. For one beautiful afternoon, Maria let herself imagine a life she had never dared to want. Then Sophia’s purple crayon uncovered a secret—and Alessandro discovered that the little girl holding his hand was his daughter. As buried lies unravel and Sophia’s birth mother returns, Maria fears the family forming around her will become the one thing she cannot keep. But Alessandro has begun looking at her differently. And being wanted by a man like him may be more dangerous to her heart than being feared by everyone else.
