Dirty Dancing With A Billionaire (Billionaire Row) by Stephanie Nicole Norris
Leah Carter knows the rules. Keep your head down, keep his calendar flawless, and never—ever cross the invisible line between assistant and boss. For six years, she’s managed billionaire Denzel Armstrong’s empire as her own life slipped into neat, predictable boxes.
Until night falls, and she trades her pencil skirts for silk and heels, losing herself in the rhythm of a hidden dance club beneath the city.
Denzel Armstrong doesn’t dance. He’s a natural-born leader with a heart of passion in his industry. But when insomnia and stress drive him to the brink, he finds himself in a dimly lit club, chasing a freedom that he’s never had but desperately wants.

Chasing Nicole: A Dark Paranormal Romance (Wintermoon Vampire Tales Book 3) by Tessa Stone
Nicole never expected to die. She definitely didn’t expect to come back.
As a therapist in Wintermoon, Nicole rebuilt her life after trauma, one careful boundary at a time. Then Bobby walked into it – a vampire lieutenant with a revolutionary past and eyes that tracked her every move. His pursuit was relentless. His interest, undeniable. His claim? Written in fate itself.
But fate has a cruel sense of timing.
When violence shatters Nicole’s world, Bobby makes an impossible choice. He turns her without consent, binding them through blood and darkness. Now his guilt-ridden devotion borders on obsession, and Nicole must navigate newborn bloodthirst, vampire politics, and the possessive male who literally remade her in his image.
Enter Josiah – unhinged, dangerous, and utterly devoted to his new “sister.” His twisted guidance through Nicole’s darkest moments blurs every line between monster and family, forcing her to confront what she’s truly become.
Because healing isn’t linear. Trauma doesn’t define you, but how you rise from it might. And sometimes the only way to reclaim your power is to embrace the darkness that tried to destroy you.
When radicals threaten everything she’s fought to protect, Nicole will prove that being turned against her will wasn’t a tragedy. It was a revolution.
Blood calls to blood. Heart recognizes heart. And some love stories begin with fangs bared and vengeance in their eyes.
A dark paranormal romance featuring a possessive vampire hero with a revolutionary past, a powerful heroine rising from trauma, chaotic found family dynamics, and a fated mate bond forged in blood and fire. HEA guaranteed

Lily In The Valley (The Double Back Diaries Book 2) by Alexandrea Lechelle
In the valley of heartbreak, love still blooms.
Kelly Reid has always known how to keep her heart guarded and her life under control: medical school, residency on the horizon, every detail carefully planned. But when grief shatters her world and family wounds cut deeper than she imagined, the silence she’s carried since childhood—the silence that’s kept her from trusting love, even when it’s been standing right in front of her—begins to suffocate instead of protect.
Khalil Grant has built his life on second chances, carrying the scars of his own abandonment. He’s learned to pour his heart into building his business and protecting the people closest to him. Loving Kelly feels like the kind of risk that could finally bring him peace…or break him all over again.
As heartbreak and healing collide, Kelly and Khalil must confront the ghosts of their pasts—and the question of whether love can truly survive when everything else falls apart.
Raw, romantic, and deeply moving, Lily in the Valley is a story about grief, forgiveness, and the courage it takes to let love bloom in the darkest of places.
Content Warning:
This story touches on grief, parental loss, family conflict, and the ache of heartbreak. While it is ultimately about love, healing, and the courage to begin again, there may be moments that feel heavy. Please honor your own peace. Pause, breathe, or step away when you need to. Your well-being matters more than finishing these pages. This story isn’t going anywhere. When you’re ready, I hope it reminds you that even through heartbreak, light and love remain within reach.

Heart of a Goon by Jahquel J.
Zoya:
Ever saw a dead body?
I’ll ask again.
Ever saw a dead body walking among us?
I’ve been dead on the inside since my parents were taken away from me, and I was forced to move out the only home I knew.
Never truly ever knowing love or what it felt like. Always witnessing everyone else have what you wished your heart could do.
Love.
That word love could walk up on me, snatch me up, and I wouldn’t have ever known. Me and that word didn’t exist, and I had come to terms with that when I watched them fighting to save my boyfriend’s life, after my brother nearly took it from him.
Again, love was never meant for me… Zoya Caselli.
Even the big dawg eventually got tired too…
Goon:
There was always love around.
My mother was a single mother to two boys, but there was always enough love to go around. Never being able to leave the house without giving her a kiss on the cheek or saying I love you. Even now, if I hadn’t spoke to her in a few days, she would call to remind me that she loved me.
Physical touch was my love language.
I needed it.
Had to have that shit.
I was Ms. Lawyer’s opposite in every way.

No Place Like You by Christina A. Bennett
A soulful, sexy second-chance, friends-to-lovers romance about healing, timing, and the kind of tension you can’t ignore even when you want to.
Lauryn M. Lindsey has a new job, a sleek condo with panoramic views, and a plan to finally put herself first after walking away from an 11-year relationship with a man who took up too much space-literally and emotionally. Her post-break up plan was simple: move back to Chicago, no dating, no distractions. However, when Perry Mitchell, her disarmingly charming college friend, keeps reappearing, simplicity goes out the window. He remembers too much, looks too good, and makes her feel way more than she’s ready for.
Perry’s life was good – travel, ambition, work that kept him sharp, a home he was finally shaping into his own. He lived with focus, a man fully in his stride. Then Lauryn appears, and his resolve slips. After more than a decade, she was still the one thing he’d never outgrown, the pull he’d never severed. And now, with her in front of him, he wonders if this is the second chance he never thought he would get. The only question: will she stay this time?
