Sapphic Sports Romance
Imani Gray is known as winter sports’ ice queen, and she’s smart enough to know that moniker has a dual meaning. Her whole life has been one battle after another, but it’s all been leading up to this: the chance for figure-skating gold.
Nothing is going to stand in her way: not the Russian favorite, not the reporters who keep using microaggressions that cause her to tank interviews, and certainly not Blake Floquet, the arrogant masc hockey player who she’s forced to room with at the games.
As her career reaches a peak, she starts to unravel, but there’s one unlikely person who stands ready to catch her, and their dimpled offers to help might just be her saving grace on the way to win it all.
They fell in love in college. But life had other plans. Daniel Keller never expected the most important person in his life to walk into a college classroom on an ordinary day. Nora Langley never planned to fall for the quiet, thoughtful computer science major from the Bronx. What begins as a college romance quickly becomes something deeper—the kind of love that shapes who you become. But timing is rarely that simple. Careers, distance, and the complicated realities of adulthood pull them apart. Yet somehow, again and again, Daniel and Nora keep finding their way back to each other—at conferences, on vacations, in unexpected moments when the past refuses to stay buried. Each reunion rekindles the same question they've been asking for years: What if this time is different?
Ashley, a brilliant but anxious tech prodigy, has a system for everything, including people. Jonathan Anderson doesn't fit the system. He's fresh out of rehab, covered in tattoos, loud in a way that makes Ashley's ordered world feel slightly ridiculous. He is not what Ashley is looking for. Ashley has a list. Jonathan is not on it. But their siblings are in love, and suddenly Jonathan isn't going anywhere. Thrown together by Catherine and Benny's relationship, and then their marriage, and then their children, Ashley and Jonathan become unlikely friends and the best uncles in the world to a growing brood of unruly boys.
And somewhere along the way, Jonathan becomes the person he most wants to be in a room with. He's just had his own demons to fight first. Ashley spends the better part of a decade telling they are too different. He doesn't know how to love someone the way Jonathan deserves to be loved. So he does what he does best: he builds a wall and marries someone else. It doesn't work. It was never going to work. How long can he outrun the one thing he actually wants?
Ryker Martin is annoyed. This summer is supposed to be about him focusing on regaining his starting position on the university baseball team, earning back his parents’ trust, and getting his life on track. Everleigh is a distraction he can’t afford. And just when Ryker thinks he has Everleigh pushed out of his mind, she lands in his lap. Everleigh Wilson is focused on spending one perfect last summer with her best friend, Crestin, before she heads off to college and he heads off to pursue his acting dreams in New York. But when Crestin tells her he thinks Ryker is keeping a secret, she’s even more intrigued. Nearly every interaction Everleigh has with Ryker over the summer is contentious, frustrating, irritating. So, when she accepts a two-week job at The Sunflower Experience, she is unprepared to discover she will be around Ryker. Despite all of this, the two are drawn together and the more they learn about the other’s secrets, the more they want to know. The Sunflower Experience is a safe space, a utopia away from reality, a promise of something magical. Can Ryker and Everleigh overcome their past traumas to build a connection that will transcend? Or will the reality of their diverging paths keep them from finding something meaningful?
Rivers of red changed my life, in ways that even I am unaware of.
I went from being a happy, carefree, and comfortable London girl to moving across the pond and landing at the exclusive Highgate Preparatory Academy, a school for the kids of the rich and powerful, right before my senior year.
Fate placed me into the arms of four beautiful, broken, rich boys; the Black Knights of Highgate Prep.
Loki, Jax, Kai, and Ash.
All rich as Midas, all beautiful, and yet they all carry scars that run so deep, I don't know if there's a way to ever heal them.
Our connection is immediate and earth shattering. The stuff of fairytales. My knights wear tarnished armour. They’re angels that have fallen into the pits of hell and been baptised anew in blood, emerging devastatingly beautiful but with the souls of demons.
But fate is fickle, and one night my life tips on its axis again, making me doubt my dark knights as their terrifying secrets are revealed.
Yet life is never quite what it seems, and even knights must bow to tyrant kings.
Apparently, the grass is not always greener on the other side.
It's covered in crimson too. And none of our hands are clean.
Baylin O’Casey has way too much on her plate. With the big Valentine’s Day festival coming up in her tiny Oklahoma town, the hard-working young woman is overwhelmed by the task list that comes with managing the family farm. When a morning ride takes her by a handsome stranger in a broken-down sportscar, she’s dismayed after he ignores her directions to town, instead following her home, begging her to rent him a room. Teddy Gwenn is the life of the party. Used to his charm thawing everyone’s defenses, the professional baseball player falls head-over-heels for the brusque beauty who agrees to put him up in her barn. And delighted with the quaint little community and his stunning hostess, he doubles down on his optimism and pitches in to soften her mood and help prep for the celebration. Finding rare joy in their sweet conversations, Baylin warms toward her houseguest…but keeps waiting for the other shoe to drop. And though Teddy thinks he’s making progress, he realizes he’ll have to prove he’s not just a playboy athlete to make this more than a passing fling. Is it game-over for their fairytale ending, or can they stretch this relationship into extra innings?
Xandria met the love of her life. It’s too bad the king just removed her head.
Years later, Xandria has finally figured out how to bring her back. Only to find out that their bonded love didn’t survive the afterlife. With a pissed off king on their heels and a kingdom falling to a cursed plague, one has to wonder if it was all worth it.
Xandria seems to think so, at least, because true love never dies.
A stranger named Vincent emerges from a hole in the earth. He is a hellhound, bred and trained for one purpose: guarding the Underworld’s prisoners. At least, until he lets one escape.
Disgraced, he is sent to recover the fugitive, disguised as an ordinary college student. But the mortal world holds its own secrets. Mysterious murders plague the school. Supernatural creatures hide in plain sight. And the fugitive has his own plan–one that may spell doom for both Hell and earth.
To stop it, Vincent must team up with others like him that walk the line between light and shadow. The best of them is monster hunter and football star Henry Wellfellow. Kind and charismatic, he is beloved by all; and yet he takes an interest in Vincent, accepting him in a way no one has before.
But Vincent has demons–literally. He can’t fall for the hero of the story. He doesn’t belong in this new world he has come to love. And yet, he may be the only one who can stop its destruction. But will the mortal world–and Henry–forgive him for what he will have to do to save it?
In the quiet life of Tess Moreau lies a remarkable power—her touch revives ashes, defying nature's laws. When she uncovers a mysterious book linked to her grandmother and a witch's coven, her journey begins. Guided by a cursed deck of oracle cards, Tess delves into The Hall of Shadows, a realm crafted by her ancestors. With each dimension traversed, she uncovers her true lineage—a descendant of mythical beings. As Tess's humanity wanes, her destiny beckons. At journey's end, she faces a choice: preserve or destroy the hall. In a tale of magic and identity, Tess's odyssey may end, but her legacy is just beginning—a testament to the power within us all.
Twenty-one-year-old Lovely Timms hasn’t always been afflicted with otherworldly visions; in fact, it’s only these last four years that have been a haze of addiction and denial since she drowned.
Only when she’s visited by an apparition of her father does she finally begin to believe her hauntings are real. Desperate to discover why she is plagued by the dead, she travels to the occult-filled city of New Orleans with childhood best friend, Tino, by her side. Though, as her abilities grow, so does the icy herald of Death.
Death with a face, a name, and a delicious voice with which to beckon her.
A wall isn’t the only thing dividing the ruined city of Ignis.
In a city split between gleaming towers and irradiated slums, Theopold Kraken fights with the Outsiders—rebels the government calls terrorists. It's a war he believes in. Then he finds Yin.
She's bleeding, feral, and not entirely human. Built in a lab as a weapon, Yin escaped with no memories and a body that's slowly failing. Her Creator made sure she'd never be able to testify about what happened to her. She doesn't understand mercy. She doesn't understand trust. She understands that Kraken is the first person who's ever treated her like she's worth saving—and she doesn't know what to do with that.
As Kraken draws Yin into the Outsiders' world, he discovers that the conspiracy surrounding her reaches into the highest levels of Ignis, and that the people he trusts may be willing to sacrifice her for the cause. Protecting Yin could cost him everything he's fought for. But walking away from her isn't something he knows how to do.
Two broken souls. One chance at freedom. In a world where trust can kill you, choosing each other might be the most dangerous act of all.
Thirteen years after surrendering to the Eastern Offensive, its people live under occupation—watched by the enemy, bound by ancestral law, and haunted by the dead they worship.
Remedy Ivanov was raised to save them.
Instead, she lives in isolation. Revered as the daughter of Kraji's most honored general, she's forbidden from touching others or using her brilliant mind to ease her people's suffering.
Nith was created to protect them.
One of the winged super-soldiers known as Angels, he should have died defending Kraji. Instead, he survived its fall. Now disgraced and enslaved by the occupiers, he endures a life of servitude for the sake of the child he is forbidden to see.
Neither Remedy nor Nith dreams of saving their nation.
They simply want something the laws of Kraji—and the powers that rule it—do not allow: connection.
But when a chance encounter draws them together, their forbidden bond becomes more than an act of defiance. In a nation ruled through fear, division, and centuries of tradition, it may be powerful enough to ignite a revolution.
Dallas 1924 In the wake of her husband's untimely demise, Penelope van Kessler is coerced into attending a lavish ball by her meddling mother. With their family's fortune teetering on the edge of extinction, Mother is determined to secure a wealthy match for her daughter. Whether she wants it or not. Dallas high society is crawling with eligible bachelors to save a family fortune. But when Penelope's dance partner, a national hero pilot, drops dead outside of the speakeasy, she ignores societal norms and sets out to discover whodunit. The pilot’s suspicious death sends shockwaves through Dallas and leaves the police department scratching their heads. Armed with her charm, infectious laughter, and a razor-sharp mind, Penelope ruffles feathers and attempts to solve the puzzling mystery from the shadows. Will Penelope convince the skeptical authorities to accept her aid before the killer vanishes? Or will her stubborn pursuit of justice jeopardize her loved ones and their precarious fortune?
After a violent hit-and-run shatters Mira Harris's life, she finds herself at a crossroads.
Before the accident, Mira, haunted by a childhood shaped by dysfunction and the recent return of her estranged father, has always sought order to cope. Her relationship with Joseph Oliver, a young man with a troubled past, provided a semblance of balance. But now, with her trust broken and her body battered, to find out who wanted to harm her, she must peel back layers of lies, confronting not just the driver's identity but the very fabric of her childhood.
As the truth inches closer, Mira and those closest to her face a reality more daunting than her injuries. Is uncovering the truth worth the risk and the personal cost not only to Mira but also to those closest to her?
