Falling in Harmony (Complete Series)

By Jennifer C (🌶️ Celebrity, Wholesome & Closed Door Romance)

Meg can't quite believe her luck when the hottest man she's met in years saves her from injury and indignity, and just maybe seems interested in her too. Their instant connection, sparked by a chance encounter and a lost button, blossoms into an impromptu sewing session and an invitation for coffee. But why does he look so familiar?

Filled with warmth, humor, and a touch of magic, this charming tale explores the power of unexpected connections. If you’re binge-reading, we got you: Chapters 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10.

Lucinda Makes a Splash

By Leonora Solomon (🌶️ Damsel in Distress)

Introverted Lucinda is a design genius who manipulates text like a pro—she is good with machines. But it is hard for her to break out of her shell. Maybe her sexy editor colleague can help her. If she can make it look good and he can make it sound good—surely they can make it together?

Heartstrings (The Complete Heartstrings Series)

By Jules Behrens (🌶️ Romantasy, Forbidden Love, LGBTQ - Lesbian)

The wilds around the cities are dangerous, but unlikely allies Felis and Gertie find out how much more dangerous the city can be, especially at court. Especially for wild folk unaccustomed to lying. Read the story as it unfolds in parts 1 and 2.

Obligated

By Betty Blades (🌶️ Second Chances)

“You can’t unring a bell. You can’t unscramble an egg. And you can’t unbreak a heart.

A Vegas wedding might have taken our friends and family by surprise, but Owen and I have been in love for years. Now we’re married, and I’m starting to figure out that just because my husband put a ring on my finger, that doesn’t mean we’ve got something built to last.”

Obnoxious

By Betty Blades (🌶️ Enemies to Lovers, One Bed)

“This road trip was a bad idea. My car’s wrecked. I’m stranded in a dirty motel room with my best friend’s ex. We’re never going to make it to Vegas in time to stop her from marrying some rando she’s known for only two weeks.” (Next book in the series— coming next week!)

Domestic Bliss Series

By Jennifer C (🌶️ Couple)

A woman, deeply immersed in writing a passionate scene, is surprised by her partner's return. Their intimate connection sparks a sensual evening, where cooking and conversation lead to a shared desire. As they read her words together, their passion ignites, blurring the lines between her fiction and their reality. (Read the entire series - Kindling Desire, Morning Mood)

Side Character Syndrome (Ongoing Series)

By Pumpkin (🌶️ New Adult, Romantasy, Gay)

It's the classic transmigration setting: after reading a historical webnovel, Kevin Guan gets transmigrated into a world of magic and sorcery in ancient China as a useless side character. It's fine. The situation isn't even as dire as the stories he read. He knew the basic plot, he didn't even get a terrible death end. He can make it out alive if he can solve his one problem: he can't speak Chinese.

Forget navigating the plot! How will he even navigate to the bathroom? (To be continued)
