Red Rose Cupcake: by Imani Jay.
She thought she had her life under control… until he walked into it.
Rosie
I’ve got my life on lock—PR executive, fiercely independent, and I bake a mean red rose cupcake. But there’s one little secret: I’ve never had an O with a partner. Not once. I thought I’d just have to live with that… until Knox O’Malley strolled into my life. Tall, tattooed, and sinfully gorgeous, he’s got that swagger that makes me question every rule I’ve ever made. What started as some harmless banter quickly turns into a challenge. Now, he’s determined to be the first man to get me there…
Knox
From the moment I saw Rosie, I knew she was special. Curvy, confident, and sexy as hell. But when she dropped that bomb about never getting there with a guy? It’s game on. I can’t back down from a challenge like that. She thinks it’s just about our hot sessions, but I’m all in. Because once I make her mine, there’s no way I’m letting her go. Rosie doesn’t know it yet, but I’m about to change everything.

OWNED BY THE RANCHER by Imani Jay
Ready for a fake dating, grumpy sunshine, small town romance?
Tasha:
I write steamy romances for a living, but my own love life? Total flop. When my mom starts pestering me about being single, I blurt out that I have a boyfriend. Big mistake. Now I’m expected to bring him home for Thanksgiving.
Just when I think I’m doomed, Liam Reeves, Silver Creek’s grumpiest rancher, overhears my predicament and shocks me by volunteering to be my fake boyfriend. Suddenly, I’m bringing this rugged cowboy home for the holidays. Liam’s playing the part a little too well, charming my family and making me wonder if this could be more than pretend. Between awkward family dinners and stolen moments in my childhood home, I’m starting to wish this fantasy was my reality.
Liam:
Pretending to be Tasha’s boyfriend for a weekend? When I offered, I thought it’d be no problem. I’ve faced tougher challenges in the military. Or so I thought. Now I’m navigating nosy relatives, childhood memories, and the growing certitude that I want more than just a fake relationship with the city girl who’s turned my world upside down.
As we dodge relationship questions and share secret glances across the dinner table, the lines between real and fake start to blur. This was supposed to be a simple favor for a neighbor. So why does the thought of returning to my quiet ranch life feel emptier than ever?
With the holiday weekend coming to a close, we’re both facing a choice. Do we go back to normal and chalk this up to a convincing performance? Or do we take a chance on turning our fake act into something real?
Cuddle up for a heartwarming tale of family, fake dating, and finding love where you least expect it!
Billionaire Book Boyfriend by Shani Greene-Dowdell.
A steamy saga of love, longing, and unbridled desire.
Drake King is too busy building his empire to read stupid books like Flirty Dirty Secrets, but everywhere he looks someone is reading this book. They’re even talking about it on the major news channels. He’s baffled to see that even his prudish maid has a copy. When she leaves it at his home, he starts reading it to humor himself. Ten hours later, he’s blown away by how many emotions he has felt.
One of Emily Jameson’s pen names has finally had a number one hit. She is in such disbelief of the success of Flirty Dirty Secrets that she logs on every day to read reader responses and notable review sites. No one knows who she is, and due to the nature of her day job, she prefers to keep it that way. Looking for someone to share her achievements with, she finds herself on a dating site ready to risk it all.
When Emily accepts the invitation to go out with the very handsome and uber successful Drake King, she never expected to see her book in his back seat. All kinds of ideas go through Emily’s mind—namely, how the line between reality and fiction could blur with just one night with the billionaire.
Cinderella and the Wolf Prince by Siren Allen.
THE PRINCE
Wulf St. Jamison is a cursed prince who’s finally found his princess. Or, at least, he thought he had. After spending one night in his masked female’s arms, he awakes to find her missing from his bed and his life. No one seems to know who she is or where she came from. Was she real or just a creature his broken mind conjured up?
HIS PRINCESS
Cinderella Dupont only has two more months of servitude before she’s free to claim her inheritance and leave her hateful stepfamily behind. After playing the role of obedient daughter for so long, she craves one night of pleasure. She finds that in the arms of a handsome stranger, only to find out later that he’s the prince. When he shows up at her door, she assumes he’s figured out that she’s the female behind the mask. That’s not the case. He’s there to hire her, the most powerful tracker witch in the land, to help him find his mate.
THE HUNT
Unable to say no to the prince, she pretends to help him search for the female he claims he’s unable to let go of. Working by his side day after day, she finds herself falling for him and toying with the idea of telling him who she really is. As dark forces descend upon them, will he forgive her for her deception? Or will her stepmother’s vile declarations turn him against her forever? Especially since everything her stepmother says about her is true.
Space Orcs and the CEO by Solar Black
Lydia Collins-Adler was once the brilliant CEO of Lunar Dynamics, a spacecraft design company with exclusive government contracts and deep connections within the Galactic Alliance. But after nearly twenty years of marriage, a painful divorce leaves her life in shambles. Bankrupt and barred from starting a new company on Earth, Lydia is forced to seek a fresh start in the distant galaxies.
Her immediate concern, however, isn’t just rebuilding her life—it’s finding Vivien Johnson, her mentor and the former Earth Ambassador, who mysteriously vanished over a year ago. Driven by a desperate need for answers, Lydia embarks on a perilous journey across the stars.
But Lydia isn’t the only one searching for answers. Orcqlaneasion warriors Xarufh Jex, Parnifh Bral, Jaraefh Drak, and Veltrufh Grend are on a mission of their own: uncovering the truth behind a rumored human conspiracy that threatens their race’s future. When their investigation leads them to Lydia, they are confronted with a woman who is as much a mystery as she is a potential threat.
Passion ignites, but so do doubts. Can Lydia be trusted, or is she hiding something that could destroy them all? In a universe where love and betrayal often blur together, Lydia and the Orcqlaneasions find themselves entangled in a dangerous dance of desire and suspicion.
Immerse yourself in the fifth installment of the Last of the Orcqlaneasions series, Space Orcs and the CEO, where the lines between love and deception blur, and the stakes are as high as the passion that burns among the stars.
