Shatter Me Together by Ssëa McNicoll

Shatter Me Together by Ssëa McNicoll

Complacency comes easily when you have been ensconced in evil for over half your life with no visible way to escape. But when the manager of the exclusive club I "work" at informs me that he has sold me to the man who has tortured me for majority of my memory, it gives me the kick in the ass I need to attempt escape, albeit without a plan.

Chaos seems to follow me like vultures follow carrion, but somehow I manage to meet a few people who make it all worth fighting for...

 

A nurse nicknamed Ken Kesey, who saves my life from a rattlesnake bite, but more so, from the hospital stay that I am sure will send me straight back into the club’s searching arms.

A drug-dealing, cowboy-hat wearing asshole who loves classic cars and has a soft spot for helping and fixing broken things, as much as he tries to deny it.

An almost silent mortician covered in the worst scars I have ever seen, who relies on music as a grounding mechanism for his broken mind. Until he meets me and I become his obsession.

A goliath who works as a fixer, and seems determined to complete his job to send me back to the club that has destroyed more than just my body.

3 of these men fall into my life and we seem to be inextricably linked to each other from the moment we meet. I only ever wanted to move forward with my life, and to let the past rot in the boxes of my mind that I have buried as deep as possible.

Unfortunately, nothing that is buried stays buried forever, and the men who have come to stand by my side come face to face with my past and present demons.

But will they be able to save me when the Devil comes to collect what he believes is his due? Or will I be the cause of their demise instead? Will the nightmares of my past ever let me rest?

Ricochet by Candice M. Wright

Ricochet by Candice M. Wright

I don’t look like your average killer... My tight dress, bright lips, high heels, and wild hair are all designed to distract you.

 

Because while you're dreaming about what this dress looks like on your bedroom floor, I’m planning the best ways to dispose of your body.

 

With dirt on my hands and blood on my shoes, I do my job without a single ounce of regret.

 

You can judge me all you want, but back before the penthouse and the designer shoes I was just another forgotten girl on the streets, running from demons.

 

I went from unprotected to untouchable, from angel to monster; The forgotten girl who came from nothing became the woman who built an empire.

 

This city is mine, I dare you to try and take it from me. Just be prepared to lose, because I will ruin you.

 

And my twisted little black heart will revel in your downfall.

 

Still with me? Well, buckle up, buttercup, leave your morals and your panties at the door and hold on tight. This ride is about to get bumpy.

Highland Hideaway by Lily Gold

Highland Hideaway by Lily Gold

One bubbly city girl lost in the Highlands. Three rugged Scots determined to keep her there.

Yesterday, I was a fashion influencer on a trip to a luxurious Scottish spa. Today, I’m the internet's favourite trainwreck. All it took was one embarrassing viral video to end my career and leave me stranded in the Highlands.

I find shelter on Lochview Sheep Farm. It’s certainly not a luxury vacation spot… unless you count the three huge Scots running the place.

There’s Cameron, the grumpy shepherd who calls me ‘princess’ when my heels get stuck in the mud… before carrying me inside.

Fraser, the flirty rancher with the auburn hair, who promises to wear his kilt just for me.

And Alec, the commanding farm manager, who seems to hate me… until a sudden storm sends his protective streak into overdrive.

They all assume I’m just a clueless city girl. But when they find out what I’m hiding from, they swear to take care of me. Soon, I’m being kissed in freezing Scottish lochs, cuddled in front of the roaring fireplace, and being spoiled like the princess they once accused me of being.

And the best part? My three handsome Highlanders are used to sharing everything… 

 

And now they want to share me.

Devils' Day Party by C.M. Stunich

Devils' Day Party by C.M. Stunich

Hot bullies, busted cars, and the party of the year. On an endless loop. I don’t know how, but I’m living today over and over again.

Every year, the town of Devil Springs holds a celebration known as Devils’ Day. There’s no magic, but there might as well be: we wear masks, we play tricks, we party hard. Every year, the students of Crescent Reform School party the hardest.

They’re the lewdest, the most wanton, ribald, and lascivious. Why shouldn’t they be? Our ultrarich prep school sits in the middle of the woods, a place for wealthy families to dump their black sheep. 


Except for me. My parents sacrificed everything they had to send me to Crescent Prep.

I can’t let Calix Knight, Barron Farrar, and Raz Loveren ruin that for me. They’ve bullied me for years, and I’ve never known why. At least today, they have something real to be pissed about. I crashed my shitty yellow VW Beetle into Calix’s Aston Martin.

And somehow, someway, I keep waking up at the moment of the crash. I can’t undo it; I can’t run from the Knight Crew. My mantra has always been: this too shall pass.


But not today. Not the worst day of my life.

Make My Heart Race by Grace McGinty

Make My Heart Race by Grace McGinty

Tally Palmer had always wanted to drive fast and kick ass, in that order. She’d earned her place as a NASCAR driver. She followed the rules, paid her dues, and didn’t make any mistakes.

Except one. She fell in love with a boy.

In the blink of an eye, Tally’s dreams went up in smoke. The fallout from that moment reverberated through her life but eventually her name was forgotten and the next ‘big thing’ took her place.

Six months later, Tally was in trouble again, but this time, the consequences would last forever, or at least eighteen years. She needed a nest egg ASAP and she was only good at one thing: driving recklessly fast.

At a late night illegal street race, her life would once again change. Running into an old crush was unexpected, and the lifeline that he threw her even more so. A lifeline that would once again put her in touching distance of her dreams. Sure, it would be different, and would come with three extremely sexy distractions, but there was hope.

But the past never stays where it belongs, and soon enough it’s more than just her dreams of driving that are under threat.

Eight Seconds to Fly by Grace McGinty

Eight Seconds to Fly by Grace McGinty

Tessa May Everett had grown up loving four things in life; bull riding, her father and her best frenemies, Branch and Beau.


But in less than eight seconds, she’d lost all four things and the single most important person in her life.

Four years later, Tessa May is back and ready to reclaim her dreams. She was going to be the first woman to compete on the professional bull riding circuit, and nothing was going to stop her.

 

Not the Boys Club that already held her to a different standard. Not the other riders who looked at her with barely veiled contempt.

 

And certainly not the reappearance of her former crushes and now rivals.

With her best friend Frankie at her side, Tessa May was going to do what she’d dreamed of since she was a little girl; ride rank bulls in front of cheering crowds.

And if she happened to ride a few cowboys on the way? Even better.

Scarlett XOXO by Autumn Reed

Scarlett XOXO by Autumn Reed

Some stories should never be told. Others have to be—it’s the only way.

Since moving back to my hometown of Hastings, Texas, I’ve been called a whore, tramp, and homewrecker.

 

And maybe I’m all of those things and more.

But those people don’t know me. They don’t see me. They only see my mistakes.

My little brother is my entire world, and if I can give him what I never had—love and security—then returning to the town that hates me will be worth it.

I’m prepared for the whispers and stares, but the moment a knight in a black truck crosses my path, it’s clear that I’m not ready for kindness.

 

As he, my brother’s sexy teacher, and the town’s golden boy work to break down my walls by standing between me and the hate, I find myself beginning to hope again.

Maybe redemption is within reach...if I share my story.

Charming Devils by Katie May

Charming Devils by Katie May

Five years ago, they made my life a living hell. They teased me, abused me, and called me a witch.

Little did they know...

Now, I’m back for my senior year of high school. New hair, new style, new personality. I’ll no longer be the weird girl hiding in the shadows. Instead, I’ll embrace all of my darkness.

The goal?

Revenge on the boys—the men—who bullied me. The football star, the musician, the bad boy, and the class president. I’ll make them pay for what they did to me.

One spell at a time.

Buckle up, boys and girls. You’re not going to like me by the time this book ends. I never said I’m the hero of the story, did I? I’m just the crazy bitch with a voodoo doll.

Surviving Amber Springs by Siobhan Davis

Surviving Amber Springs by Siobhan Davis

I’m the second-most hated person in Amber Springs.

First place honors go to my twin, Ethan; however, hate isn’t a strong enough word to convey how people feel about him.

Not that I blame anyone—some days, I hate him too. Mostly, I’m just lost and afraid, drowning in a sea of betrayal and guilt, wondering how this happened right under my nose.

There’s no choice but to leave. To move clear across the country in a last-ditch attempt to start over.

Transferring to a new school midway through senior year is hellish for most people. For me, it’s a welcome relief—until someone discovers our secret and now everyone knows.

The pointing, whispering, and scathing looks follow me around again, and I’m back to square one. Except, this time, I’m not alone.

Axel, Skeet, and Heath took me under their wing from the minute I arrived here. I’ve no idea why three of the hottest guys in town took any interest in me or why they continue to have my back, but I’m so grateful to have them in my corner.

Because, right now, they’re the only reason I’m not following my brother into an early grave.

Overexposed by Tate James & Heather Long

Overexposed by Tate James & Heather Long

With Dad’s medical bills piling up, the solution to our problems might lie in the world of glitz and glamor, which means following in his footsteps.

I grew up in the whirlwind of celebrity scandals, where every moment is a potential headline. I know the thrill of the “Unicorn List”—the ultimate scoop that could change everything. Unraveling the mysteries of the elusive “Snatch Squad” could be my ticket to salvation.

Plunging into the treacherous depths of sexy sleazy Hollywood allure isn’t my dream scenario. Celebrities thrive on their carefully crafted images, using their personas to rake in cash. They’re the ones who put themselves out there; I’m just giving them what they crave.

But the last thing I want to discover is whether the charming heartthrobs with their scandalous reputations are more than just tabloid fodder.

I’m an adult; I can manage if the lines between truth and desire start to blur. I’ll dive in, even if revealing their secrets costs me my heart…

Shatter by Aurora Hope

Shatter by Aurora Hope

Babe by Angel Lawson & Melissa Adams

Babe by Angel Lawson & Melissa Adams

“If they get through the summer without getting into trouble, I’ll pay you double.”

Those words changed my life forever.

I’ve lived on Tidewater my entire life, but not in the picture-perfect, oceanfront, mansions down on The Bend. No, I’m a girl from Backwater, on the other end of the island, where we live working for them; the SUP, or Summer People.

We don’t throw lavish parties, we work them. We don’t play on yachts, our time in the water is spent on surfboards.

I’m a Backwater girl; a ‘Babe,’ who’s destined to live her entire life on this tiny strip of marsh unless I get to graduate school and can change my fate.

 

But things never come easy for a girl like me. My scholarship falls apart and working at the bar for another summer won’t pay my tuition. That’s how I end up taking a job looking after one of the mansions on The Bend and its occupants.

Four spoiled and entitled men, who don’t know how to grow up. Hayes, Archer, Wade, Raines. They’re the embodiment of a SUP: Rich, selfish and reckless.

So reckless that in addition to cooking and cleaning, my job is to keep them out of trouble. Womanizing, gambling, addictions and power plays are their favorite games. Keeping them straight is an impossible task, especially when they decide I’m the kind of trouble they want to get into.

When the stakes get as high as the tide, will I lose it all?

The Perfect Fit by Sadie Kincaid

The Perfect Fit by Sadie Kincaid

One wannabe writer from Brooklyn. Three insanely hot billionaires. One very indecent proposal.

West Archer, Ezekiel Cavanagh, and Xander King. AKA The Unholy Trinity. Ruthless. Ambitious. Intimidating.
With dark tastes and even darker desires, they’ve been searching for the perfect woman to fit into their unique lifestyle for over a decade.

 

But despite their best efforts, none have made it past three months. Believing they’re destined to never find the one, they swear to stop looking.

Until they meet Lily.

There’s something about Lily Sloane, something that captivates all three of them. For the first time ever, it seems like they may have truly found the perfect fit. But as we all know, there is such a thing as too good to be true.

Lily Sloane isn’t the penniless girl from Brooklyn they think she is. And with a past full of secrets and lies that she’s trying to escape, the unholy trinity might have bitten off more than they can chew.

 

When trust is broken, is there any way back?

Rain on Wildflowers by Drea Denae

Rain on Wildflowers by Drea Denae

Savage. Insane. Monster. Being branded as Hudson View University’s resident psychopath really doesn’t bother me.

Sure, starting my first year in college would be a lot easier if the media wasn’t constantly chasing me down hoping for an exclusive. It’d be nice to get lunch without all the true crime junkies on campus checking to see if I’ve ordered a side of violence with my burger.

I’d rather be here than back in juvenile detention. Or sitting through a trial reliving the worst moments of my life. Or there, with Him.

Maybe it was a little naive to think I could just start fresh. Especially when the starting line up of the basketball team can’t decide if I’m a threat to their season or their new obsession.

Crew, Royce and Banks are nothing like the demons of my past, but that doesn’t mean the HVU Knights certainly aren’t riding in on white horses to save me. That doesn’t matter when I’ve already slayed my own monster.

Intimidating glares and verbal insults? That’s child's play.

Requests to kick me off campus? Bring it on. The campus radio show constantly covering my case? Every killer has a fan base. Living in the same house with the guy determined to hate me? Maybe a little challenging but nothing I can’t handle.

If the people want a crazy villain, I’ll give it to them.

Owned by the Lost Boys by A.J. Merlin

Owned by the Lost Boys by A.J. Merlin

They say they saved my life, even though I never saw them do it.

Cyril, Isaac, Ashe, Ezra, and Arlo call themselves the Lost Boys, and they’re just one branch of a ‘family’ that rules everything in the city I grew up in. They’re the bad guys, in every sense of the word, and they don’t care who knows it.

Worse? They want to show me all of their sharp, bloody edges.

After a vacation gone wrong, the Lost Boys tell me that they’re the only reason I made it out alive. That even though I didn’t know it at the time, they saved me. It doesn’t matter that I didn’t see them do it. It doesn’t matter that I doubt these monsters are capable of anything other than taking a life.

Because their word is law, and now that they’ve saved me?

They own me.

But I’m not a pushover, and I don’t need a knife to prove to them I won’t be made theirs so easily.

Unbreak Me by Reese Rivers

Unbreak Me by Reese Rivers

There’s ninety two dollars and fifty seven cents hidden in a Ziploc bag in the lining of the couch along with a double stack of polaroid pictures that might buy me some time.

Scandalous by Cala Riley

Scandalous by Cala Riley

Scandalous (adjective)- causing general public outrage by a perceived offense against morality or law.

My life has been a series of disappointments. That is until one of my social media posts goes viral, setting me up to be an influencer.


I love what I do. Especially when they pop up on my radar.


Their fans call them the United Nations.


I call them sin incarnate.


Santiago Garcia, Ezra Morgan, Drake Kennedy, and Liam Bennett have been the stars of my fantasies since I first laid eyes on them.


The more I get to know each of them, the further I fall into the wonderfully chaotic world they have weaved for me.
The only problem is, I cannot choose only one of them. I want them all.


I never meant to cause a scandal, but you know what they say though the best-laid plans aren’t without obstacles.

I'll Be Home… by Tate James & Heather Long

I'll Be Home… by Tate James & Heather Long

They say you can never go back… ‘Course, I never wanted to return.

 

It took me years to age out. Once I made it, I took off and never turned around.

Trust me, there were only three reasons I managed to survive there as long as I did and they abandoned me as soon as they were able.

 

I’d like to say I didn’t blame them, but that would be a lie.

I had zero desire to return. Yet here I was, on the road to Northland chasing a story cause my editor told me kids were disappearing… again.

It doesn’t matter what I want, I’m taking the fastest route to the darkest part of my past.

And then I’ll be home…

Playing With Knives by A.J. Merlin

Playing With Knives by A.J. Merlin

Nothing exciting ever happens here, unless you count us getting our very own movie rental shop right next to the sheriff’s station. Which, for the record, I don’t.

That is, nothing exciting happens until my roommate is murdered and her body washes up on the riverbank for the police to find. Confused and angry, all I can really do is move on and let the police handle things…right?

Wrong. I can use the questionable life skills God saw fit to give me and be the best stalker-I mean, investigator-anyone has ever seen.

Until four sexy as sin strangers waltz into town like we’re some kind of fun tourist destination rather than the most boring place on earth.

Lysander, Azriel, Nykos, and Rhys don’t belong in this town. Something’s off with them. Something is wrong behind their shrewd gazes and swoon-worthy looks. More suspicious still, they show up right as my roommate was found, and the reasons they give for coming here are flimsy at best.

At worst? I’m starting to think they killed her, or they know who did. Is it coincidence that they’re here just after the first murder in over a decade occurs? And even if I’m wrong, what happens if the dust settles and I can’t keep living the only life I know?

 

Well, let’s just hope my body doesn’t end up in the river too.

Give Me Peace by M.K. Harper

Give Me Peace by M.K. Harper

Did you know, roughly twenty-seven percent of child abductions are carried-out by an acquaintance or family friend? Who better to lure you away than someone you know and trust. With every day that passes, the likelihood of being found grows smaller. I never imagined I’d be one of them—my face tacked to a bulletin board at the local grocery store, a statewide search issued on my behalf. Even harder to fathom, was that I’d ever be a part of the lucky few who make it home after enduring years of captivity.

And when I finally do, nothing is the same.

I’m left to pick up the pieces of my shattered life without the one person I need the most. Instead, I have five men who’ve taken me under their wings, helping me heal as best they can. Every day I find a little more of myself, but the past has me in its clutches, refusing to let go. No matter how hard I work to move forward, he’s always there. Lurking in the shadows, eager to pull me back.

But as the saying goes—what’s done in the dark, will come to light.

Everything I thought I knew? It was wrong. There’s more at play than we realize, and while I grapple for a shred of normalcy, someone’s plotting and planning. Again. We’re racing to find answers, pitted against a countdown we’re completely unaware of. As the days tick by, the peace I’ve found with the guys hangs in the balance, threatened by an enemy I can’t seem to shake. I fought hard for my freedom, and I have no intention of standing idly by while it slips through my fingers once again.

I, Saylor Radley, have too much to lose to toss in the towel now.

I will not go quietly, and God help the poor bastard who thought it wise to go against my men. They saved me once, but maybe this time I’ll save myself.

Sticks and Stone by Grace McGinty

Sticks and Stone by Grace McGinty

My name is Nova Stone and I was a ghost in my own life until a knock at the door changed my whole world.

Applying for guardianship of my infant half-brother was a no brainer, even if I hadn't known he existed. But that was before I met his uncles; two pro ice hockey players, and a CEO. They wanted to take Huey home with them and they were willing to pay me millions of dollars for the privilege.

When that didn't work, they managed to convince me that it would be better for my brother–and for me–if I moved into their Ann Arbor mansion.

 

At first, I said hell no. I'd listened to true crime podcasts. I'd read the newspaper articles. But a week of sleepless nights and emotional breakdowns later, I relented.

They were helpful, I'd give them that. But they were also hot, and that was a problem. River with his brooding intensity, he was as huge as you'd picture an NHL enforcer to be. His foster brother Devan, who was mysterious and standoffish, and their best friend Rigby, the literal embodiment of a golden retriever in the body of a 6'2 pro athlete.

But I had to do what was right for Huey, and anyway, how could I ever choose? And I had to choose...right?

Diver's Heart by K.A. Knight

Diver's Heart by K.A. Knight

The first time I met Tyler Lucas, I was seventeen.

 

All it took was one summer to fall in love with him...but I fell hard, too hard, and not just for him...

A series of bad choices and actions causes me to leave him and our family behind.

 

I have to find myself once again, and to do that I must dive deep.

At twenty-four, I'm a world-class diver and explorer, one of the best. But when my newest job collides with my past, will we be able to work together, especially with the stakes so high?

Down below, things can easily go wrong, and when they do, we only have two options—work together to survive, or fall apart and die.

Down we go, right into the abyss.

Boys and Burlesque by Ripley Proserpina

Boys and Burlesque by Ripley Proserpina

They were my whole world—four boys who morphed from best friends to lovers. They were my biggest fans, and my quiet strength.


Until they left me.


What I once gave freely became my weakness. Judged, shamed, alone, and with no one to count on, I found I’d do anything to survive. I never bared my soul, but my body was my ticket to success.


And fame.


Burlesque might not have been the type of dance I dreamed of, but it rocketed me to the top. My body was mine to own. If people wanted to see me, they had to pay for a ticket.


But all my carefully laid plans and rebuilt dreams crash when the spotlight lands on the boys who used to be mine.
Josh, Brant, Wes, and Landry are back, standing at the edge of the stage and holding the pieces of my heart.
They want forgiveness. A second chance.


But when I handed them my heart once, they shattered it. And I might not survive giving it to them again.

A Loser's Revenge by Tammi Lynn

A Loser's Revenge by Tammi Lynn

I watch from the shadows of trees against the cars lining the street. Invisible to the three I keep under my anger filled glare.

Dressed in black, I have the hood of my zip-up hoodie pulled over my head and drawn closed as I fade into the afternoon shadows to observe and plan my revenge. They probably wouldn’t recognize me if they did see me standing here. I’ve changed a lot over the past nine years and I’m no longer the slightly chubby kid who wore overalls or t-shirts and jeans everyday of the week until I was thirteen and everything changed. Everything. When my best friends became my worst enemies.

I watch as Seamus, Hayden, and Axel laugh and joke around in their front yard and toss a football back and forth between one another. We’re only a five minute walk from the college we all attend, a college I just transferred to mid semester of our senior year. They don’t know I’m here and that’s the way I want to keep it for a little bit longer. I patiently watch, waiting for them to leave for the football game so I can begin my plan.

I will get my revenge.

Barretta Dawn Bowers thought she had the three best friends in the whole world. There was nothing and no one that could come between them. Never in a million years did she think that they would be the reason for their friendship to be torn apart and her heart to break. Having moved to Florida with her aunt when her whole life had been turned upside down it isn't until nine years of being gone and a family emergency calls her home does she return to Oklahoma.

Transferring to the local college and moving into an apartment close to campus with her best friend who tagged along for support, old memories and anger start rising to the surface when she soon finds herself face to face with her ex-friends turned enemies. To keep her mind off the troubles at home she begins to plot the revenge she promised herself so long ago.

Falls Like Rain by Reese Rivers

Falls Like Rain by Reese Rivers

When she left, they fell apart.

 

Now she's back and it's her turn to Fall.

I married my three best friends when I was ten, ran from them and everything I knew at eighteen to save one of them and now I’m back at twenty eight with no idea of who I am as a woman or what I want my future to look like.

 

All I really know is, if I’m going to Fall, it’s going to be for ME

She was our everything, our future, but she ran away, broke us and left us in pieces for ten long years.

 

Now she’s back and no matter how hard she tries to keep her distance and her secrets from us, we’ll do whatever it takes to find out the truth and then make her fall just as hard as we did.

Den of Vipers by K.A. Knight

Ryder, Garrett, Kenzo, and Diesel—The Vipers.

They run this town and everyone in it. Their deals are as sordid as their business, and their reputation is enough to bring a grown man to his knees, forcing him to beg for mercy. They are not people you mess with, yet my dad did. The old man ran up a debt with them and then sold me to cover his losses.

Yes, sold me.

They own me now.

I’m theirs in every sense of the word. But I’ve never been meek and compliant. These men, they look at me with longing. Their scarred, blood-stained hands holding me tight. They want everything I am, everything I have to give, and won’t stop until they get just that. They can own my body, but they will never have my heart.

The Vipers? I’m going to make them regret the day they took me.

This girl? She bites too.
