The team’s race engineer, Caleb Hughes, is determined to get his star driver back in pole position, but soon the sparks flying over the radio are more chemistry than competition.

About the book
A forbidden desire. A game of cat and mouse. A love that could ruin everything. Hold on tight for the wild ride that is the next installment in Kate Crew’s extra spicy Mavericks series!
Evie Emberson is trouble. Smart-mouthed, fearless, and relentless—especially when she’s looking for answers. She’s a hacker with a past that just won’t stay buried, so laying low isn’t exactly her strong suit. Especially when he’s around.
Aiden “Ace” Hayes is her brother’s best friend—brooding, loyal, and a walking contradiction. He spends half his time at the motorcycle garage and half deep in Valeport’s underground, and he lives by a code. Rule number one? Don’t touch Evie.
But she’s not a kid anymore. She’s fire and chaos and everything he shouldn’t want. He knows getting involved would blow up the only family he’s ever had—but walking away is getting harder every damn day.
What starts as snark and stolen glances spirals into something darker, hotter, and way past the point of no return. And the more they try to hide it, the more it threatens to consume them.
Now, with enemies circling and Evie’s secrets putting a target on her back, Aiden will do whatever it takes to protect her—even if it means betraying the brother who made him family.
Loyalties will be tested. Rules will be broken.
And hearts? They’re about to burn.

About the book
Sci-fi meets gritty, erotic horror in the Hugo Award–winning author's controversial pastiche of mid-twentieth century pulp fiction icons.
Philip José Farmer took the art of literary mashups to an epic new level with his novels of the Wold Newton Universe, in which fictional characters such as James Bond, Sherlock Holmes, and Philip Marlowe crossed paths in a complex narrative web. In A Feast Unknown, he presents thinly veiled versions of two iconic characters—Tarzan and Doc Savage—in a dark tale of psychosexual ferocity.
Lord Grandrith, the fabled "king of the jungle," is endowed with special powers that come at a terrible cost. He can only experience sexual pleasure while engaged in acts of violence. His affliction is shared by his nemesis, Doc Caliban, the legendary Man of Bronze. These two titans are also half-brothers—progeny of the infamous serial killer Jack the Ripper. As they face each other in an epic battle for immortality, they discover a common enemy: the dark manipulators behind their tragic fate.

About the book
I never imagined the ruthless Titan would choose me as his rebellion, or that I’d become his shield.
Hockey was supposed to be my ticket to stability, earning me a scholarship for an education I could never have afforded on my own.
Until Connor Walsh, the ruthless star of the Crestwood hockey team and my captain, corners me with an ultimatum that changes everything.
Marry him, or watch my scholarship—and my entire future—disappear.
It's blackmail, pure and simple. A calculated move in whatever twisted game he's playing with his equally ruthless father. And I'm just a pawn he's willing to sacrifice.
Now I'm trapped in their war, shielding the one person who should be my enemy and learning all over again that safety is just another thing people like me don’t get.
I keep telling myself to hold back, that getting close only leads to hurt. But every day I spend with Connor pulls me in a little more.
And falling for my husband is worse than anything the ruthless titan can threaten me with.
Because love—family—well, they never last.
This steamy MM hockey romance that is perfect for readers who wanted Heated Rivalry to go darker – with a ruthless captain, a coerced marriage, and a war that turns into all‑consuming love.

About the book
My name is Vincenzo Vieri. Crown heir to the Five Families. Son of a king. Twin to a traitor.
I came to Vintermoor Academy for one reason: to prove my loyalty and walk out worthy of the empire I was born to rule. This place is nothing but a proving ground for the next generation of monsters, murderers, and mafia royalty. I was prepared for all of it… but not for him.
Nikolaj Dragovich.
Bratva heir. Bloody prince of the North Wing. A predator with frostbitten eyes and a mouth made for war.
I know he was sent here to kill me, but no one warned me what it would feel like to want the weapon aimed at my throat.
Nikolaj is chaos wrapped in velvet; a curse I can’t kill.
And if I’m not careful, he won’t just take my crown...
He’ll bury me with it.
This is book 1 in the Of Ruin and Royalty duet, and ends in a cliffhanger.

About the book
Ronan
I used to be a cop, and now I kill people for fun. Yeah, yeah I know. Never admit to your crimes. But you don’t know who I am. To you, I’m just words in a blurb. Besides, I don’t plan on living that long anyway.
The system has failed us. There is no justice. So, before I go, I’ll be the justice.
You know. AKAB. All Killers Are Bastards, or however the fuck the saying goes.
Logan
I kill people because they deserve it. But, suddenly, there’s a copycat mimicking my style and stealing my marks. To top it all off, this copycat reminds me of someone. Someone very painful to remember.
I won’t let this slide. Fuck Ronan Carter for making me remember, and fuck him for stealing my kills. He’s going down. You can be sure of that.
Dakota
I’ve been a cop for over a decade. But there’s one kind of case I won’t work—crimes against children. Suddenly, pedophiles start turning up dead all over town. There are multiple serial killers on the loose, and despite not wanting to dig into my past, it’s my job to find them.
To find them and to stop them.

About the book
Younger. Forbidden. Distracting. Male. And on cusp of the comeback fight of a lifetime, Domenick Conner can’t get Cameron Stevens out of his head.
A decade after a brutal head injury took him out of a successful career in boxing, Domenick Connor moves home to train with his brother for a very public comeback. When Cameron Stevens dances into his life, Dom doesn’t understand the intense and undeniable pull to the much younger man. The desire knocks him off kilter and throws everything he’s ever known about himself into question. But that doesn’t stop Dom from watching, coveting, craving him…
Cameron Stevens is a perfectionist, fiercely dedicated to his craft, and already overwhelmed with the pressures of pleasing his overbearing boyfriend and boss. But when his new stepfather asks him to teach his brother ballet to help with balance and footwork for an upcoming boxing match, he can’t help but agree. The gruff boxer comforts and encourages him in a way that he’s never experienced before, and it draws him in like a moth to a flame.
As the unlikely pair navigate their intense chemistry, Cameron and Dom must decide whether to continue fighting the attraction between them, or fight for love instead.
