Deep In My Feelings by A.C. Taylor
Her past made her the enemy.
The way he loved her made them a target.
Kamille just wants to move on from her rumored past. She’s had a target on her back since before she was born, and after a scandal puts her at the top of everyone’s most hated list, it only gets bigger. The people who despise her don’t care about her claim of innocence. They only care about keeping her away from anyone they love, and that includes Malik Brand.
Malik doesn’t play by the rules. Especially when the rules involve staying away from Kamille Jansen. But his family wants him to do just that. Their hatred for her runs deep, and they make sure everyone knows it. Despite their objections, Malik isn’t willing to turn off his feelings just to please them. He knows what he wants, and he’s determined to get it. But his family isn’t the only thing standing in his way. Kamille is a stubborn woman and pushing him away has become her routine. She refuses to allow her stained reputation to rub off on him, and she doesn’t want to cause problems between him and his family.
But Kamille’s attempt to keep them apart only pulls them closer together, and before they know it, they’re no longer in control. Fate has all the power, and they’re forced to make their minds align with their hearts. But making that decision comes with a price, and no matter what, it’s a price they’ll have to pay.

Sincere (Miller Family Book 3) by Rae Anderson
“My time with him often felt like I’d left my body and traveled to the sanctuary of another planet. I was always left void of gravity, speechless, and blessed to have that level of access.
When he orbited away, leaving behind residual stardust, I was left confused. Utterly demented, I was trapped inside a delusion that there ever was an us.”
—From the poetry accompaniment, Luna
“She’d undeniably gotten closer than any woman ever could. So close she triggered a pulse in my heart. So deep, she made it skip beats. So raw, she made me question myself. So pure, I had to sabotage her efforts. I was just trying to put the head in, not invite her into my head. For ten years, I sought to erase her from the sea horse-shaped organ in my head that stored memories. It hadn’t worked. She’d wiggled her effect deeper, the same way the moon’s energy forces us to face the innate and hidden parts of ourselves. I tossed my hands up in surrender and threw my hat back into love’s arena. A man can love many times in his life but only plunges the hilt of its depths a single time. Only one woman inspires such range.
I wanted Luna back.”
Luna and Sincere have a decade-long history of love, misunderstandings, heartache, and pain. This complex story of trauma, grief, inner work, and healing is the third installment of the Miller family series.
This is a dark romance with a heavy focus on childhood abuse, grief, and trauma.

Professor Zaddy: A Potomac Falls Novel by K.L. Hall
A promiscuous college senior.
A handsome professor with secrets.

Graduation is so close I can taste it.
That’s the onlyreason I signed up for Professor Hill’s erotic poetry class. Well, not the only reason.
His seductive cocoa brown eyes, salt and pepper beard, and sexy tattoos precede him.
I never intended for him to become my muse behind every poem, every fantasy.
One glance across the lecture hall and a moment alone after class is all it took to make him mine.
But there are consequences to breaking the rules, and my all-consuming desire lands me in heart-pounding danger.
How was I to know the debonair, well-dressed professor was living a double life as a drug kingpin?
I guess that’s why they say some men are off-limits for a reason.

Their Chosen Surrogate by Qweyn of Love
You can’t judge a book by its cover. Everything you see on the outside doesn’t always match what’s on the inside. Just because you see a person smile doesn’t mean they’re happy. That’s how I would explain Zakarryn’s life. Having a wealthy family with so much money at his disposal still didn’t make him happy. At twenty-four years old, Zakarryn was missing the one thing his parents never showed him, which was love. For once, his parents showed they cared, but did what they did help or hinder Zakarryn?
Paleya has always been a spoiled brat since the day she graced the earth. Many would consider her a mean girl. Whatever Paleya wanted, she got, except the one man she’d been madly in love with since she was a teenager… Zakarryn Davenport. When she complains to her parents about coming to an agreement with Zakarryn’s parents, they make the ultimate sacrifice. However, Paleya has done something without her parent’s knowledge that will hinder the deal, but that’s where Kylayja comes into the picture.
Beautiful, successful, and wealthy are a few things to describe Kylayja Atkins, but like every person with money, if they don’t have a companion, none of that matters. Kylayja always believed in love and thought she had found it a time or two, but that was a joke. Loving yourself isn’t bad, but having someone else genuinely love you is the goal. When things didn’t work out in the love department, Kylayja gave up and did something she had always wanted to do. That was to become a surrogate. After blessing two families, she was ready to bless another when Paleya sought her out.
Kylayja always heard about the Millionaire Prince and Princess as what everyone called them. Not only did she hear about them, but she went to school with them; however, she was a nobody back then. When approached by Paleya, Kylayja’s first reaction was to turn her down, but after some convincing, she was reminded of her commitment. After accepting to be their Surrogate, Kylayja soon finds out what’s really going on behind closed doors.

Now at twenty-four she has a hard time remaining loyal to the promise she made.
A life she always dreamt and wished for was served on a silver platter by a certain Lemy Seriti, but it is what she has sworn herself into that denies her the pleasure of it all.
Will she choose to follow her heart, or will she keep her promise and continue living her life unfulfilled?
