Now I'm the witch trapped among wolves, and I discover he’s not the monster everyone fears.His hands stop feeling dangerous. His silence starts feeling safe. Then I'm falling for my enemy somewhere between repairing lines and sharing his room. A rival faction offers me a job while moving to take over Graywater land. My grandmother's secrets surface, and The Ninefold Trust offers to rebuild everything if I sever the bond. Now I must choose: Take a job with a rival faction, break the bond and save his pack, or stay and risk everything.

The Things We Keep
Avery Solenne
Some things you keep. Some things were never yours. Eighteen months after her father's death, Margot Whitcomb has one sale standing between his auction house and the end of it. Then the headline lot — a Cartier brooch worth seven figures — comes back flagged as possibly stolen. And her father's initials are on the file. Adrian Keane works for the insurer. He is careful, exacting, impossible to hurry, and the only person alive who can tell Margot what her father actually knew in 2009. He is also required to report every answer to someone else. So they build a rule. He tells her when something exists, even when he can't tell her what it is. It holds for two weeks. What Margot finds in the file is not a crime. It's worse — a decent man with one more question to ask, a payroll due Friday, and a reason to stop. What she finds in Adrian is the first person in a year who refuses to make anything easier than it is. Neither of them can afford this. He would have to disclose it. She would have to explain it to a client whose brooch may not be hers. They do it anyway. A slow-burn, closed-door contemporary romance about two careful people, one unresolved object, and the difference between keeping something and keeping it unchanged.

My van breaks down on cursed Alpha territory… and I become the prize in a werewolf war. I’m on my way to save a dying patient.

After I witness a forbidden wolf shift, he invokes pack law and insists I can’t leave. Forced under the same roof, we share stolen nights and impossible secrets. He battles the monster within every time I’m close. Somewhere between his rules and his touch, captivity starts feeling dangerously like home. Then I fall for the one man I should never want. That’s when I discover my blood is tied to an ancient prophecy, and a rival pack will stop at nothing to claim me. Now Rowan’s greatest enemy demands I be handed over, his curse is tearing him apart, and if the wrong Alpha claims me, everyone I love will pay the price.

Ahelno
MK Stephenson
Claimed by an alien prince. Bound by a mistake neither can undo. Can love bloom, even in their darkest hour? Andie One moment, I was a college student with Broadway dreams. The next, I was kidnapped from Earth, sold to alien traffickers, and stranded on a planet light-years from home. When a giant, winged alien found me in the wreckage of my captor’s ship, I screamed and ran. Now the entire Ptexari kingdom believes I initiated a mating ritual with Crown Prince Dakleth—a four-armed warrior who chased me down and claimed me. Dakleth may regret what happened between us, but remorse doesn’t erase trauma. I may never go home again. I may never see another human being. But I will never accept this alien as my mate. Ahelno is a steamy, emotionally intense dual-POV sci-fi romance featuring cultural collision and a slow-burn path toward healing and redemption. It is the author’s debut novel and first in a new series. Intended for mature audiences only.
