Gideon Cross: As beautiful and flawless on the outside as he was damaged and tormented on the inside. He was a bright, scorching flame that singed me with the darkest of pleasures. I couldn’t stay away. I didn’t want to. He was my addiction…my every desire…mine. My past was as violent as his, and I was just as broken. We’d never work. It was too hard, too painful…except when it was perfect. Those moments when the driving hunger and desperate love were the most exquisite insanity. We were bound by our need. And our passion would take us beyond our limits to the sweetest, sharpest edge of obsession.…

I was a journalist, I had a life, friends, and then all of that was taken from me. No, not taken, stolen. The Brethren found out about my exposé. They realised I was getting too close to their nasty little secrets—and so they made sure I disappeared. Except, they didn’t just grant me the mercy of a shallow grave. Oh no, instead they handed me over to Magnus Blake, practically gift-wrapped me for him. And he’s got plans for me. Big plans.

Lex is determined to keep her head down and see out this trial...until she accidentally summons her mate...who just so happens to be an incubus demon.

After that, it was impossible to resist falling in love with him. But every second we're together is ruined thanks to the agonizing guilt eating away at me.

She has a weird butt, but it’s a hot, weird butt. Joe must have it. He does his thing.

She's his stepdaughter. She's his stepsister. She's been thinking about this longer than he has. Ten goth girls with tattoo sleeves and bad intentions. Ten older men who should know better. Ten stories where the taboo isn't the obstacle—it's the point. She's the girl with the combat boots and the dark lipstick who's been watching him across the dinner table for years. He's the stepdad who built the bookshelf in her room, the stepbrother who shares a bathroom wall. They've both been pretending. Nobody's pretending anymore.

Twenty-five fantasies. One truth: desire doesn't have to diminish over time—it can evolve. From surprise encounters in hotel rooms to elaborate role play at home, from sun-drenched afternoons on the water to candlelit masquerades, these stories explore what happens when passion becomes a practice, when intimacy deepens into artistry, and when long-term love refuses to settle.

He was never supposed to survive. He definitely wasn’t supposed to be wanted. Kai learned early how to disappear. Stay quiet. Stay small. Stay safe. But someone sees him. Not the version the world tolerates—the real one. And once he’s seen…he isn’t allowed to leave. What starts as protection becomes something else. Something heavier. Something that tightens instead of loosens. Because this isn’t the kind of love that heals. It’s the kind that watches. Waits. And decides you belong to it. And Kai? He might not want to be saved anymore.

Brad is busy trying to sell his house. So busy, he doesn’t stop to wonder how the little skirt got into his closet. He doesn’t waste time wondering how the girly undies got into his dryer.

Facia is a young woman with big dreams. Maybe Joe can give her the confidence she needs. Maybe she can give him something in return.

Rock bottom never looked so good. My fiancé murdered someone over a dragon’s egg. I panicked and ran. I also, maybe, accidentally stole the egg. That part was unintentional. Mostly. Now I’m on the run with stolen supernatural cargo, a murderous ex-fiancé on my heels, and a half-formed plan to throw myself at the mercy of the powerful dragon of Darlington. Enter Graham. He’s a gargoyle with wings, claws, and the whole shebang, and he claims he’s here on behalf of the very dragon I’m on my way to see. He just can’t prove it. He’s also hot as sin. And apparently exactly my type. One stolen egg.
