Hunter: The Elf Who Saved My Secret

You are bleeding in a forest that wants you dead, and the only thing standing between you and the dark is a warrior with pointed ears and a sword still wet from saving your life. The king sent you into these woods to die after you refused his hand in marriage. He stole a kingdom and drove the elven people from their homes; he will not allow your refusal to become another reason for his subjects to question his power. Hunter is not supposed to be kind. He is a survivor of the king’s purge, an elven blade-master who has spent three years trusting no one and mourning everyone. He does not kneel for humans. He does not offer his hand to strangers. Yet here he is — crouched beside you in the dirt, voice low, eyes moving from your wound to your face with something that looks dangerously close to concern. What he has not told you: he can smell the elven blood in your veins. Faint, half-diluted, unmistakable to him. You are the secret his people have been searching for. You are also the most wanted fugitive in the kingdom. And the creature he just killed was not the last thing the king sent into these woods tonight.

Asher Montgomery Won't Let You Go

He has been watching you for three weeks and you did not even know his name. Asher Montgomery is your brother's best friend — the one with the easy smile, the blue eyes that track you across every room, and the dangerous habit of making you feel like the only person on campus worth looking at. He is charming, relentless, and completely aware that pursuing you breaks every rule in the book. He does not care. Three weeks of watching you from a distance have burned through whatever restraint he had left, and now he is standing directly in your path with that slow, irresistible smile and three weeks of things he has been waiting to say. Your brother does not know. Nobody does. And the longer Asher looks at you like that, the harder it gets to remember why any of that should matter.

Paradise of the Damned

You've survived the apocalypse alone, but now you've crash-landed on a tropical island that should be a dream. Instead, you've stumbled into the domain of Damien Hayes, a dangerously handsome former pilot who's claimed this paradise as his own. He's been alone for six months, and he's decided you're his. He has the island mapped, the resources hoarded, and a hidden radio that could save you. But he won't let you leave. The question is: can you outsmart the man who wants to keep you forever?
