A Bargain So Bloody by Vasilisa Drake Sweet
Kingdom of Dark Magic
Imprisoned for a crime she didn’t commit, Samara is bullied by guards and tormented by the screams of her fellow prisoners. She’s resigned herself to enduring her fifteen-year term…until she learns the freedom she’s been promised is nothing but a cruel lie. Now Samara is faced with a brutal choice: die within the cold walls of Castle Greymere or do the unthinkable and escape. But no one leaves Greymere alive. So to break out, she’ll need help from one of the undead. Raphael is the worst kind of monster: a vampire with a thirst for blood—and the same breed that killed her mother. He’s also unspeakably powerful, his supernatural strength tamed only by the enchanted cuffs forced on him. Most importantly, he is Samara’s only chance at a life outside the prison walls. The deal is simple: Samara unlocks his shackles, and Raphael helps her escape. But he never promised to let her go once they flee the castle…

A Court Of Forgotten Melody by Sarah J Maas Sweet
A Court Of Thorns And Roses
What was lost will be reclaimed. Prythian might never be the same again. Traditional alliances are crumbling, and no amount of diplomacy seems sufficient to repair them. With the continued threat of Koschei the Deathless on the horizon, a united front is crucial--and farther out of reach than it has ever been before. Bonds will be tested. Power will shift. And old enemies will emerge from nightmares of the past. As the Night Court’s Inner Circle disperses far and wide, desperate for any advantage against Koschei and his mighty allies, peace hangs by a fragile thread. But hope can be spun from the darkest of shadows, and the Night Court has its own part to play in the looming crescendo.

The Night Court will not stand idly by while innocents are attacked. But with Prythian still piecing itself together in the wake of the devastating Hybern War, the task of uniting is proving more difficult by the day. To make matters worse, those who rule and protect the Night Court are reeling from recent betrayals and revealed truths. The rifts dividing them seem insurmountable. But to defeat Koschei’s creeping shadow, they must find a way back to each other and resurrect their former alliances. To survive, they must find a way to repair the splintered harmony all around them.

Because I Killed Him by Edith Birde Sweet
The Nine Gentlemen
In the Civilized World, everyone is rich, yet money doesn’t buy safety. It only buys a gold coffin. The real currency is having the right allies. Low-citizens survive by joining high-citizens’ exclusive inner circles, trading loyalty for protection from laws that govern speech, dress, and posture—and punish mistakes with public beheading. Low-citizen Loredana Waldsten already knows the cost of breaking the rules. Once a rising fencing prodigy, she lost the right to carry weapons after killing a high-citizen in a brutal locker-room attack. The courts erased his death to preserve his family’s honor. Now she’s unarmed, legally defenseless, and enrolled at the elite Grandmaster University, where champagne spills into the gutters and reputations are built on death duels. When Loredana’s father, a low-citizen politician, publicly challenges the high-citizens, she becomes a target. Some classmates demand her execution. Others hunt her for sport. And by law, she’s forbidden to fight back. Her only chance of survival lies with Edmund Prew, a charming yet ruthless high-citizen student she’s been warned against. His family has been locked in a bitter feud with Loredana’s for years, and he wants nothing to do with her until a lost bet forces him to protect her within his inner circle. What begins as a scandalous, strategic alliance turns perilous as they fall for each other. Because the man Loredana killed wasn’t just a high-citizen. He was Edmund’s cousin. Loving Edmund means living a lie. Telling the truth means certain death.

Between Tides & Thunder by Leena Kazak Sweet
She was raised to hate him. Now she shares his bed. Princess Mayah of Tundrayn isn’t allowed to want. Not freedom. Not love. Not even her own future. Instead, she’s spent her life healing others’ pain and swallowing her own. But when her father strikes a fragile alliance with enemy-kingdom Arbinj to crush a rising rebellion, she is bartered into a marriage she didn’t choose for a crown she doesn’t want. She expects a prince. She gets the Dark Commander. Zevayr is ruthless, unyielding, and a stormwielder with a reputation soaked in blood. He is everything Mayah was taught to fear. Yet as they race across rebel-torn lands, the less certain she is of where the monster ends and where the man begins. In Arbinj’s glittering courts, the Rebellion surges and dangerous secrets stir from Mayah’s past—secrets that could shatter her kingdom, and her heart, if she lets them. The question is not if Mayah will betray, but who: her people, her love, or herself?

Deviant King by Rina Kent Spicy
Royal Elite
The villain wasn’t supposed to wear the crown. I had a simple, foolproof plan: survive my final year at Royal Elite School, keep my head down, and escape to my dream university. But plans are fragile things, and mine went up in smoke the moment the school’s undisputed king turned his gaze toward me. One glance from Aiden King is enough to steal the air from my lungs. One glance is a silent death sentence. With his first words, he didn't just threaten me, he dismantled my future and spiraled my life into a chaotic wreckage I can’t repair. “I will destroy you.” Aiden isn't just a bully; he is a void. He has a black mind, a black heart, and a soul that has never seen the light. My only hope was to remain invisible, to endure the countdown until graduation in the shadows. But I failed. I made the one mistake you never recover from: I provoked the king on his throne. I poked the devil in the center of his own personal hell. Now, the bill has come due. I quickly learned that being hated by Aiden King is a dangerous game, but I’m realizing something far more terrifying as the shadows close in. Being hated by him is a nightmare. But being wanted by him? That is lethal.

For The Fans by Nyla K Very Spicy
Rich. Popular. A superstar football player who’s awfully broody for someone who has it all. Basically, he’s a preppy jock who hates me. Oh, and he’s also my stepbrother. That’s right. We’re stuck together, sharing a school, a house… A bathroom. Honestly, I wouldn’t care… If he wasn’t such an uptight control-freak who messes with me just because we’re different. I had every intention of avoiding him when we got to college… Until abrupt misfortune forces us both into a compromising position. Now the grouchy jerk I was hoping to evade might be the only person who can help me out of it. Avi Vega is everything I despise. A dreamer. A flake. An artist who smokes too much weed and thinks aliens exist. And by some sick cosmic joke, he’s now my stepbrother, following me on what should’ve been my escape plan. It was already a disaster. Add a sudden financial disruption to the mix, and let’s just say my options are heavily limited. If I want to stay an all-star quarterback on the way to the NFL, I’ll need to do something drastic. Unfortunately for me, and my desperate desire for control, the perpetually smiling stoner has a plan. Maybe we can stop hating each other just enough to pull this off. As long as we remember we’re only doing it… for the fans.

Into Darkness
I hate that woman. Tyler Neumann isn’t looking for a family reunion. He’s spent years tracking his father with a singular, bone-deep goal: total destruction. To get his revenge, Tyler is willing to burn anyone who stands in his way, and he’s found the perfect fuel for his fire in Stella McCormick. To Tyler, she represents everything he loathes, a life cushioned by silver spoons and untouchable privilege. He’s decided it’s time for her to pay the debt her family owes, and he doesn't care if she's ready for the bill. I hate that man. Stella McCormick might be a skeptic when it comes to "happily ever after," but she’s a firm believer in "loathing at first sight." From the second Tyler darkens the doorway of her tattoo parlor, she recognizes him for exactly what he is: a beautiful disaster designed to make her life a living hell. When Tyler’s blackmail forces her to play the role of his doting girlfriend, Stella is thrust into a dangerous charade, bringing a wolf into her family’s glittering inner circle. She’s sharp enough to clock his ulterior motives, but as the lines between their staged romance and their raw animosity begin to blur, she realizes love and hate are just two sides of the same jagged coin. Now, she isn’t sure which is more terrifying: the fact that Tyler wants to ruin her, or the fact that every time they touch, she never wants him to stop.

What starts as a string of secret hookups quickly evolves into a high-stakes emotional entanglement that threatens to upend their lives. As the pressure of the spotlight intensifies and the risk of a media scandal looms, Shane and Ilya find themselves caught between the sports they live for and the connection they can't let go of.

Hunt The Villain by Rina Kent Spicy
Villain
The first time I laid eyes on Yulian Dimitriev, it wasn't a spark, it was an explosion of pure, unadulterated hate. He is everything I’ve spent my life learning to despise: brash, loud, and addicted to the kind of senseless violence that stains everything it touches. As the heirs to two of the most notorious mafia dynasties in the world, we were never meant to be allies, yet we found ourselves forced into a setting that stripped away our titles and left us with nothing but each other. The more I discovered about him, the more my loathing solidified, until the mask slipped. In the quiet moments between the chaos, I saw the man beneath the monster, and a forbidden heat ignited that neither of us could extinguish. But just as the air between us began to change, tragedy tore us apart, sending us back to our parallel lives, worlds that are designed to run side-by-side but never, ever intersect. Fate, however, is a cruel architect. I’ve been dragged back into Yulian’s orbit, and the gravity of his presence is stronger than the laws of our society. In our world, two men standing together isn't just a scandal, it’s a death sentence. But Yulian doesn't care about the rules. He is blurring every line I’ve ever drawn and pushing every limit I thought I had, until the lives we’ve built and the hearts we’ve tried to shield are both standing on the edge of total ruin.

In Her Own League by Liz Tomforde Warm
Reese Remington has spent her entire life preparing to step into the batter's box, but as the first female team owner in Major League Baseball, the crowd isn't cheering, they’re waiting for her to strike out. She has the sharp mind and the veteran experience to lead, but in a world that still smells like a locker room, she is viewed as an outsider occupying a man’s throne. Under a microscope and facing ruthless pressure to prove she belongs, Reese has a simple rule for the season: zero distractions. That rule is immediately tested by the one man who refuses to follow her playbook. Emmett Montgomery is baseball royalty, a former All-Star turned field manager who leads with his heart and treats the diamond like sacred ground. He’s used to calling the shots, and the last thing he wants is a "suit" telling him how to run his team, especially one who seems more interested in spreadsheets than stolen bases. But as the grueling schedule of away games forces them into close quarters, the "ice queen" facade begins to crack. Emmett starts to see the fire burning beneath Reese’s professional cool and the grit it takes to stand your ground when the whole world wants you to trip. When their dugout arguments shift from heated banter to undeniable, skin-searing chemistry, the professional line doesn't just blur, it vanishes. Reese knows that a scandal with her manager is exactly the ammunition her critics need to ruin her career before the seventh-inning stretch. The smart play is to keep Emmett at arm’s length for the sake of the standings and her legacy. But as the pennant race heats up, they’re discovering that staying away from each other is the one game neither of them has the heart to win.

On Wings Of Blood by Briar Boleyn Warm
Bloodwing Academy
Welcome to Bloodwing Academy. Expect ancient magic, expect cutthroat competition, expect a staggering amount of blood. I never asked for this. Being a half-fae in a prestigious institution crawling with highblood vampires isn't just a challenge, it’s a death warrant. I’m Medra Pendragon, allegedly the last of the legendary dragon riders. The problem? Dragons have been extinct for centuries. There isn't a single scale left in the world, yet the vampires have decided I’m a prize worth hunting, capturing, and caging. Now, I’m a "blightborn" prisoner at Bloodwing, where the elite run the show and people like me are treated as nothing more than livestock or pawns in their sadistic political games. Then there’s Blake Drakharrow. He’s cold, impossibly arrogant, and far too attractive for someone who spends his free time tormenting me. Thanks to a archaic ritual I never consented to, we are now officially betrothed. He acts like he owns my soul, and while he expects me to bow, I’m sharpening my claws. At Bloodwing, the curriculum is a battlefield. If you aren't strong enough to seize power, you’re just another body in the dirt. Between lethal trials, secrets that could get me executed, and the shadow of a dragon,shaped legacy looming over me, survival is the only grade that matters. But as the game turns deadly, I’m realizing the greatest threat isn't the academy or the vampires, it’s the dormant power waking up inside me. They think they can break me, they think they can use me. But they’re about to find out exactly what happens when you corner a Pendragon. And Blake? He might be the one to push me over the edge, or the only one standing when the world burns.

A marriage forged in blood. A kingdom bathed in silence. And a princess who refuses to break. As the king’s bastard daughter, Mireille has spent her entire life scorned by her father’s court. When she’s forced to wed the infamous conqueror threatening her kingdom’s borders, she accepts she’s nothing more than a bargaining chip for a people who don’t care whether she lives or dies. However, the Blood King is not what Mireille expects. His cold eyes and sharpened words stir a heat within her unlike anything she’s ever known, and she wonders if this arrangement might be a blessing in disguise. Instead of being reviled by one kingdom, she could rule another. Yet the gods are not so merciful. When Mireille’s wedding turns into a nightmare, the man who should have been her escape becomes her captor. Imprisoned and tormented in her own castle dungeons, she quickly learns her father’s past sins are not so easily buried. In the darkness, she finds a single thread of light: the voice of the prisoner in the cell beside her, a man as mysterious as he is volatile, as dangerous as he is alluring. Dragged into a brutal struggle for survival, Mireille is caught between two powerful beings that threaten to consume her entirely—one who wants her obedience, and one who craves what little soul she has left. But Mireille was not born to kneel.

Starside by Alex Aster Warm
Starside
Hundreds of years ago, a brutal war split a land in two. Starside is the realm of magic and immortals, the descendants of the gods, living in a power-rich paradise. Stormside is where mortals fight for scraps of that magic. Every fifty years, the gates between them open, and fifty challengers are allowed to journey across Starside on a deadly quest to access a pool of magic that can heal, grant wealth, or extend life. Everyone has their reasons for entering, but Aris has only one: vengeance. As a child, a goddess set fire to her village, killing her family. Aris isn’t after the gods’ magic, she’s going to kill them. First, she must survive the Culling, the king’s deadly competition to choose his fifty challengers. An orphaned blacksmith’s apprentice, Aris doesn’t have the superior weapons of the heirs from the Great Houses. But the greatest swords—ones that contain power, are not inherited or bought, they are claimed, by both sides. And when Aris claims a great sword, it makes her not just a real competitor, but a target. Getting past the gates is only the beginning. Starside is deadlier than it seems. If the ancient creatures, magic-wielding beasts, and bloodthirsty immortals weren’t dangerous enough, a new peril has even immortals fearing what rises from the ground at night. With a blade most would kill to claim, Aris can’t trust anyone. Especially not Harlan Raker, the merciless and mysterious king’s guard who betrayed her years ago, and who may now be the key to her survival. But Aris is hiding a secret tied to her family’s death. And when it’s revealed, not even the gods will be able to stop what’s coming…

Burdened by a heavy set of baggage from her past, she’s struggled to get the attention of the one guy she actually wants. To step out of her comfort zone and finally get noticed, she strikes a deal with the last person she ever expected to help her: Garrett Graham, the cocky, childish, and undeniably annoying captain of the college hockey team. Garrett’s only goal is to play professional hockey, but his plummeting GPA is about to bench him for good. He needs a tutor, and Hannah is his only hope. In exchange for her academic help, Garrett agrees to a "pretend dating" scheme designed to make Hannah’s crush jealous. It’s a win-win arrangement until one unexpected, earth-shattering kiss turns their "fake" relationship into the wildest physical connection either has ever experienced. As the lines between the deal and their real feelings blur, Garrett realizes he’s no longer playing a part. Now, he just has to convince the sarcastic brunette that the guy she’s been looking for has been standing right in front of her all along.

The Night We Met by Abby Jimenez Clean
Center Point Platinum
In everyone's life, there's a split-second decision that can change everything . . . For Larissa, it came when choosing which guy to ride home with after a concert. That night, she had no idea she'd met the perfect man. She and Chris are great together, co-parenting a slightly unhinged rescue Yorkie, sharing their favourite books, and judging bread (pumpernickel for the win!). For the first time amid all her side hustles to scrape by, things finally feel easy. But Chris isn't the one who drove Larissa home all those months ago - Chris is her boyfriend's best friend. All Chris wants is for Larissa to be happy. Standing by on the sidelines is slowly killing him, but making a move would destroy someone else. And he's just not that guy.

The Washwoman at the River's End by Megan Shade Warm
The Curse of the Fates Series
They call her a monster. A murderess. But legends rarely tell the whole truth... For over a century, Bea has haunted the River’s End. Forced to eternally wash the grave clothes of the dying, she spends her days searching the bloodstained garments she cleanses for the pieces of a spell that could finally break her curse and allow her to go to her rest. But Bea’s search is interrupted when the river brings her a warning: He is coming. Brennen knows the Washwoman’s tale all too well—the monster who murdered the woman he loved and left him with nothing but an unbreakable vow of vengeance. So when he’s assigned as her guard, he believes the Fates have finally blessed him. But the woman he finds at the River's End is nothing like the monster from her legend. When women across the kingdom begin to vanish and mysterious deaths follow—deaths only Bea can foresee—Brennen is forced into an uneasy alliance with the very woman he’s spent years hunting. But as they search for answers, hatred twists into reluctant trust, and trust into something far more dangerous: desire. With fate closing in and time running out, Brennen must decide if he will damn his soul to save the woman he swore to kill, while Bea must choose between the rest she once longed for and the love that could destroy them both.

The Wolf King by Lauren Palphreyman Warm
The Wolf King
When a centuries-old grudge between humans and werewolves finally ignites into all-out war, Princess Aurora finds her gilded life reduced to a strategic pawn on a bloody chessboard. On the eve of her high-profile wedding, a union designed to fortify her father’s throne, Aurora catches the eye of the last man she should ever notice: Callum, a powerful and ruthless Alpha. Driven by the belief that the princess is the ultimate leverage to end the slaughter, Callum infiltrates the palace and abducts her, vanishing into the jagged, lawless wilds north of the human border. In the heart of the wolf-run territories, the propaganda Aurora was raised on begins to unravel. Surrounded by a pack she was taught to fear, a forbidden heat begins to stir between captive and captor. Just as Aurora starts to realize that the "monsters" are more human than she ever imagined, Callum uncovers a chilling truth: the greatest threat to Aurora’s life isn't the war outside, but the internal betrayal brewing within his own inner circle. With bloodthirsty hunters on their trail and lethal predators waiting in the shadows of the pack, their connection becomes a match dropped in a powder keg. As the world burns around them, Aurora must decide if her heart belongs to the crown she left behind or the Alpha who stole her away. She set out to find a way home, but in the arms of her enemy, she has to ask the most dangerous question of all: Does she even want to go back?

Zodiac Academy: The Awakening by Caroline Peckham and Susanne Valenti Spicy
Zodiac Academy
I’m a Gemini: impulsive, headstrong, and currently questioning every life choice that led me here. It turns out I’m not just a twin, I’m Fae, and the heir to a throne in Solaria that I didn't even know existed. But claiming my birthright isn't as simple as putting on a crown. To rule, I have to prove I’m the most powerful supernatural in the kingdom. And while being the daughter of the Savage King gives me a literal leg up, it also puts a massive target on my back for every power-hungry Fae in the realm. Welcome to Zodiac Academy, a school that’s equal parts lethal bloodbath and elite rager. Here, Vampires prey on the weak in the halls, Werewolves lose their minds in the Wailing Wood, and Sirens play with emotions like they're cheap toys. Even the faculty is a nightmare; my "sinfully tempting" Cardinal Magic teacher turns detention into a psychological endurance test. In Solaria, my star sign isn't just a personality trait, it’s the source of my elemental magic and the key to my survival. If I want to beat down my classmates (which, by the way, is the only way to earn respect here), I have to master the stars. But my path to the throne is blocked by a devastatingly hot Dragon shifter and his three "psycho" friends. They’ve made it their personal mission to turn my life into a living hell, and they aren't playing by the rules. Forget the wand and the owl, this isn't some cozy wizarding school. I’m trapped in a game of celestial politics and primal magic where the only goal is to stay alive. Fate might have brought me to Solaria, but if I want to wear the crown, I’m going to have to fight like a Gemini to keep it.
