Dragon Marked
Amelia Jade - 2018
Seeing his mate on the altar about to marry the alpha of a local wolf pack is bound to spur anyone to extreme measures. He’s stood by for ten years while his inability to address his own emotions has paralyzed any progress with her. They might be best friends, but until he can learn to use his words, that’s all they’ll be. Megyn Wekkle wasn’t an idiot. She knew there was tension between her and the broad-shouldered hunk she called her best friend. Someone else made a move when he wasn’t willing though, and now she’s consigned the “what-if’s” between her and Hel to the dustbin of her memory. What she never expected was that he would finally find his voice at the most inopportune time. Even worse, she can’t help but wonder if maybe he wasn’t the only one having a hard time confronting their feelings… Hel’s actions have pissed off the entire wolf pack, and also the local dragon enclave representative. They need to get out, and get out fast. Hel may have caused the problems, but they’ve grown to envelop her as well. The longer they spend together, the more things between them begin to unravel, and a decade’s worth of thoughts and feelings come to the surface. Can they ride that turbulent wave to a new beginning together, or will the deeds of the past tear them apart?
Lucky in Love
K.M. Bishop - 2019
Want to know a secret?
I’m still in love with my high school sweetheart.
I know it sounds silly. But his deep brown eyes and adorable dimples give me sleepless nights. He abandoned me all those years ago. I didn’t think he’d ever return. And look at me. I’m embarrassingly still holding on to my V-card. But now that he’s back... He’s hotter than ever. A notorious playboy and rich as sin. I made the mistake of trusting him once. There’s no way I’ll put my heart on the line again. A one-night stand?Sure. Falling in love and carrying his baby?No chance in hell.
…Or is there?

Even bloodshot eyes can see she’s just what I’ve been waiting for.
