Book Description
Tiffany The sensitive one, that’s how my family sees me. They don’t understand, how could they? They don’t know the monster I’m hiding inside of me. Every time I’ve held back from joining in the fray, every time I’ve kept to the shadows when things get tough, I did it to protect them. From us. Now I’m on my most important mission yet. We’ve found a new sister, a Drakaina warrior in the form of the cutest little baby girl you’ve ever seen. I have to keep her safe, train her to control her abilities, all while keeping our existence a secret from her adoptive Dad. A sexy single Dad with a body that won’t quit and a nerdy swagger that makes my mouth water. Should be simple, right? Griffin My daughter breathes fire! I was just a normal Dad, trying to do my best by my daughter: Ada. Then one day she sets my curtains on fire live on the internet for the entire world to see. Now I’ve got people banging down my door for a photo op. Then a beautiful woman shows up out of nowhere claiming she can help us. I nearly tell her to get lost, we don’t need any help, there is nothing wrong with Ada. She’s just special. Although, to be honest I desperately needed the help. I didn’t know. I didn’t realize how lonely I was until Tiffany walked into my life. Tempting me daily with her voluptuous curves and her pouty lips. How am I supposed to get anything done when just down the hall is a woman who seems tailor made for me? If only things were simpler.

Book Description
In the ice-hockey romance that has taken TikTok by storm, a dedicated player struggles with the number one team rule: don’t go near the captain’s sister. Garrett Andersen knows that playing professional hockey requires absolute dedication to the rules. There’s just one rule he’s finding very difficult to follow: stay away from the captain’s younger sister. As a professional dancer, Jennie Beckett knows what it takes to excel. She prides herself on being every bit as confident and bold as her brother, sassy as hell, and the only person in charge of her pleasure. No wonder Garrett can’t stay away from her – even if he forgets how to form sentences whenever she’s around. When they become neighbours, Jennie and Garrett resolve to keep their distance from each other. But after several embarrassing run-ins, the connection between them only grows, so they decide to have some fun, no strings attached. But what if their feelings get in the way? After all, they’re only supposed to be playing with each other ... ‘Funny, vulnerable, and relatable. Mack writes hot, steamy stories interweaved with real, raw emotions perfectly.

Book Description
In a world where only men can do magic, and women are bought and sold like cattle, five girls stand up, determined to shatter the oppression. You Are Mine Serena knows a few simple things. She will always be owned by a warlock. She will never have freedom. She will always do what her warlock wishes, regardless of how inane, frivolous, or cruel it is. And if she doesn’t follow the rules, she will be tarnished. Spelled to be bald, inked, and barren for the rest of her life—worth less than the shadow she casts. Then her ownership is won by a barbarian from another country. With the uncertainty that comes from belonging to a new warlock, Serena questions if being tarnished is really worse than being owned by a barbarian, and tempts fate by breaking the rules. When he looks the other way instead of punishing her, she discovers a new world. The more she ventures into the forbidden, the more she learns of love and a freedom just out of reach. Serena longs for both. But in a society where women are only ever property, hoping for more could be deadly. Mine to Spell Cynthia has always hidden from her father’s hexes behind her older sister. When her family gains independence unheard of for women, she’s relieved that her days of harsh punishments are over. But as her seventeenth birthday approaches—the typical age to be sold to a new master—death threats endanger her sisters. She now faces two options: run or meet society’s expectations. For once, Cynthia isn’t going to let her older sister shield her from the problem. She’s going to prove to herself, her sisters, and society that her family isn’t a threat to their traditions. She willingly chooses to be purchased by a new master. A bold step that takes her somewhere she never thought she would go and to a man she might possibly fall in love with. With his help, she may just find a way to save her sisters while discovering how to stand up for herself. If she lives long enough. Mine to Fear Waverly resents being sent home to Evando just as things are getting intense in Chardonia. She can't just sit in safety while her friends suffer under oppression and restrictions simply because they are women. Upon returning to Chardonia, she discovers conditions have degraded faster than she thought possible, and her mere presence puts her loved ones in grave danger. When the Grand Chancellor calls for a change in laws that threatens the lives of her friends, her family, and anyone who doesn't comply, her only option is to run, with both friend and foe. As the stakes grow higher with each passing day, Waverly must become the leader she's never been, or her life, and the lives of all those she cares for, will be lost. Sacrifice of Mine After a ravaging war, Bethany and her family are forced to flee to Envado. There, women are safe from the oppressive rule of male owners. When her pursuers draw too close, Bethany stays behind to buy her sisters time to escape and she's captured. She's turned over to a depraver who tarnishes her. Now bald, branded, and barren, she's worth less than the shadow she casts. From this lowly place she leads the tarnished to overthrow the Grand Chancellor--the man behind Chardonia's oppressive rules against women and the tarnished. If they fail to defeat him and his supporters, all will be lost. Mine to Tarnish Katherine’s place is the same as any woman’s—on the shelf next to the dresses and bolts of cloth. When she’s sold to a warlock, life grows even bleaker. Her new owner is as old and rancid as he is cruel, driving her to do the unthinkable: run. Nothing prepared her for being on her own. And she’s definitely unprepared for the warlocks hunting her down. But she must stay one step ahead because if caught, the best she can hope for is death.

Charlotte Here's the thing, I may have accidentally brought out my fated mate’s inner Dragon by burning him alive. In my defense, I didn’t know he was down there or even who he is. Now I have to track down a feral Dragon and teach him how to shift and protect himself before he exposes our race to the world or decimates an entire city. I did mention it was an accident right? We all make mistakes, surely you’ve been there? Rhett One minute I was gathering intel in the war against the most power hungry foe the world never knew existed. The next, I’m trapped inside a Dragon's body and can only watch as the woman I’ve had a serious crush on ever since I came to work as a mercenary for Drak Defense Co. is trying to subdue the angry Dragon inside a pirates cave. Now, she says I’m her fated mate, and she needs to teach me to control the Dragon within me that has apparently been there since I was born but somehow she swears I was an accident and she never meant to bring me into her world and once we're done, I’m free to go. I’ve been gently declined for a date before but this one takes the cake.

Book Description
Nalo Hopkinson--winner of the John W. Campbell Award, the Sunburst Award, and the World Fantasy award (among others), and lauded as one of our "most inventive and brilliant writers" (New York Post)--returns with a new work exploring the relationship between two sisters in this richly textured and deeply moving novel. We'd had to be cut free of our mother's womb. She'd never have been able to push the two-headed sport that was me and Abby out the usual way. Abby and I were fused, you see. Conjoined twins. Abby's head, torso, and left arm protruded from my chest. But here's the real kicker; Abby had the magic, I didn't. Far as the Family was concerned, Abby was one of them, though cursed, as I was, with the tragic flaw of mortality. Now adults, Makeda and Abby still share their childhood home. The surgery to separate the two girls gave Abby a permanent limp, but left Makeda with what feels like an even worse deformity: no mojo. The daughters of a celestial demigod and a human woman, Makeda and Abby were raised by their magical father, the god of growing things--a highly unusual childhood that made them extremely close. Ever since Abby's magical talent began to develop, though, in the form of an unearthly singing voice, the sisters have become increasingly distant. Today, Makeda has decided it's high time to move out and make her own life among the other nonmagical, claypicken humans--after all, she's one of them. In Cheerful Rest, a run-down warehouse space, Makeda finds exactly what she's been looking for: an opportunity to live apart from Abby and begin building her own independent life. There's even a resident band, led by the charismatic (and attractive) building superintendent. But when her father goes missing, Makeda will have to discover her own talent--and reconcile with Abby--if she's to have a hope of saving him . . .
