Obsession
Ann Mayburn - 2016
This seems like a simple request, but I was born to parents who wished I had died of childhood leukemia, instead of my younger sister, and who have ignored me no matter how much I’ve tried to please them. I’m starved for affection, addicted to the feeling when someone cares about me, which has led to a love life filled with either boys I’ve scared off, or men all too eager to take advantage of me. I thought I would never find a man who could feed my craving for constant attention—and then I met Leo. He fills the void inside of me, haunts my dreams, and does things to me in bed that are so good, they’re probably illegal. I can only pray I don’t scare him off once he figures out just how needy I really am.LeoThere are very few people in this world I’ve ever been able to form an emotional attachment to, but the moment I saw Hannah, I knew she was mine. We were bound together by fate, our paths crossing first as children, then as adults, each time marking me. She doesn’t know it but I’ve been watching her for a year now, studying her, stacking the deck so when I do make my move, there’s no way she’ll ever escape me. But my world is a harsh, cruel place, and the cartel I work for demands absolute loyalty and trust…a loyalty Hannah has yet to earn in the dangerous eyes of my employers. There is only one way to ensure Hannah’s absolute devotion, and I hope that she doesn’t hate me forever when she finds out that not only have I brainwashed her into loving me, but that I don’t feel an ounce of guilt about doing it. She’s mine, only mine, and I’m keeping her forever.Warning: This story features a rough and demanding Dom who’s completely devoted to bringing his baby girl pleasure through such unconventional means as spanking, mild BDSM, D/S, roleplaying, and various other forms of wicked kinkery.

Jenika Snow - 2016
I wanted that desperately, wanted her in my life, and I'd do anything to make sure that happened.Until Maggie came in my life I didn't know what love was.She'll be my first and last.I'll be her only. MaggieI didn't know I could have a friendship like the one I have with Felix. But the friend-zone wall has always been in place.

I'm ready to admit how I feel for him, consequences or not. FelixMaggie doesn't know the lengths I'll go to keep her in my life, but she will, because the very idea of her with someone else is not something I'll even entertain.

It's short, with detailed first-time sexiness, and features a virgin hero and heroine that know exactly what they are doing between the sheets.**And for a very limited time Virgin, an equally sugary story about falling in love and saving yourself for that one person, is included at the end of Say You're Mine (due to Virgin being included at the back of this book, Say You're Mine ends at 52%.)**
