Roulette: The Madam (The Grey List Book 4) by Grey Huffington
I am not a dancer…
I am not a bartender…
I am not a s*x worker…
I do not work the house…
I own the house…
And, everything that goes on in my house remains in my house. We service the wealthiest clients in all of Clarke. They come for a good time, not a long time. But, then there are those who don’t come for the fun itself. They come for the community. The connection. The Chemist. And, in that regard…
I am the connector…
I am the piece of a larger puzzle…
I am the rite of passage…
I am the ticket to the next stop…
I am the gateway….
In my line of work, many men pass me by. All colors. All sizes. All walks of life. Many catch my eye but only a few keep it. I’m surrounded by greatness. I, myself, am greatness in a 5’11 frame and 6’1 on a good, stiletto-influenced day. Which leads me to believe a couple of things:
I’m far too much woman for one man.
Monogamy is far from natural.
Liberation is my first, middle, and last name.
My freedom doesn’t end with my sexuality.
Neither did my lover’s. However, we had rules. And, when those rules were broken, hell split the earth’s crevice. He did me dirty. Instead of crying myself a river, I made a home with the worms. I didn’t surface until I had done him dirtier. Fortunately for me, I emerged unscathed and well-fucked with a new suitor on my arm. One that my ex-lover considered a father figure.
I am not one to play with.
I am the one who plays.
I am Madam.
The Madam.
But, Big Fella calls me Princess.
Zimyra (A St. Claire Novel Book 10) by Tina Martin
I’m the single St. Claire sister.
I forge my own path. Make my own rules.
Men?
Don’t need them. But they chase me, and I dismiss them.
And then, Axel Jennings happens to stumble into my office, seeking employment for the property I manage. He insists that he’s the man for the job. He’s as persistent as he is handsome. He almost took my breath away.
Almost…
It’s not that I don’t see his dreamy hazel eyes. The six-feet-five, athletic body. The determined look, emphasized by a, irresistibly chiseled jawline. The thing is, I don’t have time for distractions. I’m busy building my own life. I can’t fall for the charming stranger who’s new to town. Plus, I saw what my father’s betrayal did to my mother. Men can’t be trusted, even when they know they have your heart in their hands.
Fractured Harmony: Dark Mafia Bodyguard Romance (Maverick Dynasty) by Sherelle Green
ROME MAVERICK
She was never supposed to be my problem. Storm Crowne is reckless, younger than me, and way too tempting for her own good. Plus, she thrives off of drama, talks entirely too much, and always makes questionable choices that piss me off.
An enemy wants her dead and now she needs a bodyguard. Since my twin brother married her sister, her family decided it was my job to protect her. I’m the brother who keeps the peace and the one who carries the weight so no one else has to. I don’t cross lines. I don’t lose control.
But Storm?
She’s a hurricane of chaos that I can’t outrun. She pushes and I pull. She defies and I demand. She protests and I insist. She doesn’t get that this isn’t a game. I’m here to keep her alive. If that means breaking her down and stripping away every ounce of fight she has until she listens to me, so be it.
Because in my world, obedience isn’t optional. And Storm will learn that she can either bend, or she can break. But she will obey.
In a world of power and betrayal, blood binds the Maverick family, but love could tear them apart.
The Weight of Wanting You by Simone Monet
Some loves arrive slowly. Some loves arrive sacred. This one held her steady when everything else asked her to bend.
Sabine D’Arlais knows how to lead, how to polish, how to protect what she’s built. As a nonprofit executive in the heart of Chicago, she’s made a name for herself as strategic, composed, and always in control. But control is a lonely companion. And lately, it’s been harder to ignore the silence between wins.
Micah Arrington doesn’t ask for the spotlight. After walking away from the pulpit, he’s rebuilding his life through quiet work and quiet faith. His community center is steady. His peace is hard-won. But when Sabine steps into his world with guarded eyes and impossible grace, the steady begins to shift.
Their connection isn’t fast. It isn’t loud. But it’s immediate—and impossible to outrun. And when a public scandal tests everything Sabine thought she could keep separate, she must decide: Is her image more sacred than the truth of who—and what—she wants?
The Weight of Wanting You is a deeply intimate, spiritually-rooted Black love story about choosing presence over performance, love over perception, and a slow-burning romance that feels more like healing than heat.

Amir
After centuries of rest, I’ve risen to a world transformed—a paradise crafted by my people, a sanctuary called Wintermoon for all supernaturals.

But she demands more than I might be capable of giving, and the cost of failing her is losing the only woman who’s ever truly understood me. As dangers close in around us, I’m beginning to realize that true power isn’t found in ruling—it’s in yielding to the one who holds your heart.
Anora
They say I was born for greatness, created from ancient magic to fulfill a destiny even I don’t fully understand. Being mated to the most powerful supernatural in existence should feel like enough, but something’s missing. Amir sees me—truly sees me—when the rest of the world only sees a queen. Yet for all his strength, he fears the throne that’s rightfully his, haunted by mistakes I wasn’t there to witness. As my powers grow and visions of possible futures haunt my dreams, we must decide what we truly want—a kingdom, a family, or perhaps both. Whatever comes, one thing is certain: we face it together or not at all.

but I’d bent around ruthless men before, so I made a deal with Solo.
Now he owned me, and every part of my body will bare his name.
Solo
I’d ever planned a destruction as well as I planned hers.

Innocent, sweet, and unsuspecting.

And those thighs were made to be parted.
I couldn’t wait until she realized what she had done.

Her tongue would beg me for mercy she would never get.
She came to me for protection, but I’d never known a man more dangerous than me.
I was going to be her undoing.

After losing so much, I truly had nothing to lose. After learning about his connections, I was too afraid to say no. Going from a twenty-four-year-old virgin to the fated mate of a motorcycle-riding vampire seemed as insane as me considering it.

Midnight Hills groomed me to be unhinged. My motorcycle club, The Sons of Eshu, owned my loyalty. Going from a hunter who finds solace in pain to the protector of a naïve partner felt like a knife in my chest. Yet, knowing it was my only way to freedom made me crave her.
