Romance

In Taiamen, where worth is measured by bloodline, and power is held by the elite, an outsider carries the spark that can shatter an empire built on cruelty and silence. Kenna has spent her life unseen. Forced to protect her siblings under the violent hand of her adoptive father in the starving district of Madyor, she has learned to trade pieces of herself just to live. Her world is one of endless work, sacrifice, and bruises, until one day, rage burns hotter than her fear, and a brilliant light erupts from her body, awakening something ancient and terrifying, and forcing her and her best friend, Zander, to escape into the world outside the only home they know. Now hunted by the government, Kenna discovers she's not just any Conjurer—she's a Dominum, the first in five hundred years to wield all four elements. But Kenna doesn’t feel powerful; instead she feels like a woman with ashes and guilt on her hands. Haunted by fear of what she is and what she must become, Kenna must choose whether to keep running from her power or embrace it—even if it consumes her. When Her Power Awakens is a saga of survival and sacrifice, where reluctant heroes are forged in fire and loyalty is tested against the pull of destiny. Threaded with slow-burn romance, enemies-to-lovers tension, and the fierce bonds of found family, it explores the fragile line between devotion and betrayal, illusion and truth. Lush landscapes, elemental magic, and the relentless echo of prophecy will whisk you into realms both perilous and enchanted. Readers who have lost themselves in the epic sweep of Sarah J. Maas or Helen Scheuerer will discover a kindred world as their protagonists gamble with loyalties, sorcery, and the daunting question of what it truly means to be chosen.

Sometimes forever starts with the last person you want. Darci Griffin has sworn off romance—and the cocky new neighbor who catches her in the world’s most humiliating moment. She’s a children’s librarian with a fortress around her heart, an expert at dodging feelings and first dates. Alex Dixon is all sharp edges and bottled-up grief, a widower who lost everything and decided wanting nothing was safer. From their first clash—snark, sparks, and one infuriatingly good deed—they can’t stop colliding: hallway skirmishes, reluctant favors, late-night arguments that turn into the kind of confessions you only make in the dark. What starts as irritation becomes chemistry that won’t be ignored: laughter that sneaks up on them, heat that makes rules feel irrelevant, and a tenderness neither of them thought they’d earn again. But choosing each other means risking what they’ve spent years protecting—her battered belief in being unlovable, his vow to never break a heart or his own again. If they’re brave enough to drop their armor, the enemies they were might just make room for the lovers they’re meant to be. SOMETIME AROUND MIDNIGHT is a steamy, heart-mending enemies-to-lovers romance about second chances, messy healing, and the moment you realize home is a person who argues with you…and stays.

The year is 2117, and Lydia Klein has lived a sheltered life in New Augsburg, a small town established as an oasis in an increasingly secular world. In the face of a government that heavily regulates publishing of explicitly Christian materials, Lydia’s family operates a privately owned press dedicated to printing books that proclaim the timeless Word of God. Faced with the loss of their parents, her brother’s unwillingness to carry on the family business leaves Lydia uncertain of the future. When the charming and polished Zachary Barrett, a wealthy son of the town, expresses interest in marrying her and buying her family’s press, she imagines that her problems may soon be solved. But as disagreements and new acquaintances threaten to come between them, will Lydia learn to act out of trust or be trapped in fear?

Some love stories don’t wait to be found—they crash into you. An hour late to her blind date, Claire storms into a coffee shop, scans for “blond hair, red shirt,” and makes a beeline for the only guy who fits. He blinks. He wasn’t expecting anyone—least of all a gorgeous whirlwind with a smile that melts glaciers. On a reckless impulse, he says the one word that changes everything: “Hi.” What starts as a mix-up turns into three stolen days that feel like a lifetime—laughs that land in the same rhythm, kisses that taste like firsts and forevers, and a pull neither of them can explain. It’s instant, it’s intense, and it feels like home. But perfect weekends don’t automatically survive Monday. Real names. Real lives. And the little lie that started it all. This spicy, heart-punch romance brims with instalove and a whisper of magic—proof that sometimes the wrong turn walks you straight to the right person.

What if the daughter of a god fell for the one person she could never have? Aquaria has spent her entire life hiding. As the youngest daughter of Poseidon and heir to the Throne of the Sea, she should be wielding elemental magic and ruling the ocean depths. Instead, she's disguised as "Gemma" living among humans, betrothed to a pirate captain she's never met, and forbidden from revealing who she truly is. Four years. That's how long she has to survive on land before the marriage that will seal a fragile peace between worlds. But Aquaria didn't plan on Kelley -the pirate's son who teaches her to sword fight in secret, who looks at her like she's more than a pawn in her father's game, who makes her want a life she was never meant to have. With her eighteenth birthday approaching, Aquaria faces the deadly trials that will unlock her true power. The same prophecy that has haunted her family for generations. Now she must choose: Accept the fate Poseidon has chosen for her, or fight for the love and life she wants-even if it means igniting a war between land and sea.

A friend secures a position for Anya as the housekeeper for an Arriborn noble, which sounds like a perfect opportunity.

Unfortunately Anya has a habit of being in the wrong place at the wrong time… As she uncovers the truth about Dmitriy and his bloodstained past, Anya must challenge herself to face a silencer—the same type of trained killer that slaughtered her sister—and see him as more than a sword.

These two people, though from the same town, are very different, but that's what I love about their relationship. I hope you enjoy reading their story as much as I enjoyed writing it. Please note this is an open-door romance. I hope you enjoy.” – Lizzy Castle.

Rae Lee I have experienced enough change in my life to last an eternity. Between moving from Sydney to Seoul, then back to Sydney, and then back again to Seoul, I reached my quota for major life changes with the first move. Little did I know that going to see my favorite K-pop idol group UNIQ would bring about another major life change - well, except this time, it’s seven major life changes. Yup - all seven members of UNIQ, the most famous men in the world, are my soulmates. And they actually want me in their lives. I’m just Rae, a 22-year-old student in my last year of college, with an older brother who’s equally famous and overprotective, along with a whole lot of daddy issues. They are millionaires who are coming off their second record-breaking world tour. I’m nowhere near worthy of their time and attention, but they are dead set on convincing me otherwise.

Mae Soares My parents were shady people. I knew that. They thrived on their perfect image and their perfect family.

When their boss shows up and asks me to marry him instead, my life changes in an instant. I’m swept up into a world of crime and money, where apparently, violence is always the answer. Little does the yakuza know that I don’t follow anyone’s rules but my own, and I don’t like trying to be controlled. Tetsu Kuro is in for it if he thinks that I’m going to let him tell me what to do. Tetsu Kuro I didn’t have time for love. The underground world didn’t allow for that. But when I laid eyes on Mae Soares… I knew she had to be mine, whether she wanted to be mine or not. So I gave her an offer that she couldn’t refuse and took her as mine. And then the Japanese yakuza imploded on itself, with a new player coming in and causing chaos just for the fun of it. The problem? Mae is the target. And I will be damned if anyone tries to take her away from me.

I, Xayla Lewis, have a way with attractive humans. Let’s just say my bed is only empty when I want it to be. Nikita, my wolf, is not impressed. She wants to find our fated mate. Firsthand experience told me that, human or wolf, losing a mate ruins your life and makes you depressed. I love my mother, but I never want to break like that. Hence my reaction the day I met and ran from my fated mate. To say I, Evander Mason, was surprised that my mate ran from me is an understatement. In a single action, she revealed her strength and appeal. Running away from your alpha mate is remarkable and damn sexy. Hezekiah, my wolf, agrees, even though he is upset that we didn’t chase her down. To be honest, I wasn’t worried about finding her until I lay in a hospital bed, unable to look for her. Now I fear she could be gone forever. Books does not end with a HEA.

Six Minutes Late is a psychological fiction novel about obsession, guilt, and the damage done by one delayed decision. At 4:06 p.m. on a Thursday, a simple delay, six minutes, sets off a chain of events that will alter four lives forever. Michael, a therapist burdened by guilt and haunted by loss, becomes entangled with Claire, a patient whose trauma mirrors his own. Their sessions blur the boundary between healing and obsession until their connection spirals into something forbidden and consuming. In the shadows stand Lucian and Evelyn, two names whispered more than spoken. Each hides a past threaded through deceit and desire, their influence stretching far beyond what Michael and Claire can see. Together, they become the unseen architects of a fate that closes in with every heartbeat, every word, every missed minute. As their world collapses, time becomes both enemy and witness. The red blinking light in Michael’s office, steady, unfeeling, turns into a symbol of their undoing, pulsing like a heart that refuses to die. Love becomes confession, therapy becomes entrapment, and every glance carries the weight of consequence. Told in fragments that shimmer as memories dug from the dark, Six Minutes Late explores the shadows of longing, the price of forgiveness, and the haunting truth that sometimes love is not the cure, but the curse. In the end, only echoes remain beneath the ticking clock: the memory of what was almost healed, almost forgiven, and always, six minutes too late.

I think I'm falling for the man who's been breaking into my home. It started with a bruised rose on my bookstore counter. Then a note-written in blood-calling me little monster. Creepy, right? Except now, I'm checking the locks twice... and leaving the window cracked anyway. I let him in. I wanted him to stay. And when I kissed him first, it was already too late. Because the man obsessed with me¿ He wasn't just some stranger. He was a soldier-turned-shadow with orders to destroy my father's network. He was supposed to take my family down. But then I learned the truth- He watched my mother die. Knew I was in danger before I was taken. And he wasn't there. He says he tried. Says he'd burn the world down to protect me. Raze heaven just to touch me. Put a bullet in anyone who dares breathe too close. I should hate him. But when he looks at me, it feels like he's memorizing me. Like I'm scripture. Like I'm the only thing he'd ever burn for. And maybe that's the problem. Because I'm not the girl he left behind. I crawled out of the fire different. Sharper. Darker. Built from blood and betrayal. Now he wants my forgiveness. My love. My loyalty. The question is- Can I forgive him? Or does the fire burn us both?
