Winner of the 2023 Passionate Plume Award for Steamy RomanceCarlyI love being single. I don’t answer to a significant other or any children, and I get to see the world on the company dime.Next stop? Milan. The longer than expected layover in New York is a bit of a bummer, but the night I spend with two strangers from my flight? H.A.W.T. I don’t know which I enjoy more—the way words roll off their tongues in their incredible Italian accents, or the way they use those...

BrookeRaising twins by myself wasn’t the life I pictured, but the three of us have done pretty well together. They’re in their senior year of high school now, and I’m thinking maybe I can finally get back into the dating pool.Given that my late-husband was my high school sweetheart—my one and only—and it’s been more than twenty years, I have no idea where to start. Do I swipe right, speed date, or maybe just stand on a corner and shout forty and single, ple...

DaneI'm silent. I'm trained. I'm lethal.My hand skimming down your thigh, my gaze a weapon—I know more ways to kill you than please you.But you're not paying for my aim. You're paying for my control. Bringing you a breath away from ecstasy, watching you beg as I hold back your release, I'll show you exactly what you've been missing. Your hunger is my currency and five thousand is my price. I only have one rule—no repeats, because I'm not for keeps. I'm for ...

Grind (verb): to weaken or destroy graduallyMacy Carrington is not the woman I once thought her to be.What she does not allow her heart to feel, she gives with her body. The sex between us is explosive and depraved. I’ve done things with her that would never have crossed my wildest imagination, and I can’t ever seem to get enough.But now I want more from her. I want to figure out her dark secret, expose it and then help her to heal from it. I know, ...

DariaMy ex taking our daughters to Disneyland is his latest way to prove Dad Rules and Mom Sucks.While they’re riding roller coasters, I’m taking a trip of my own—a long deserved island getaway for one. And I’m letting my eldest’s swim coaches stay at my place while we’re all gone, and their apartment is fumigated.Except a last minute work emergency means I’m stuck at home, rather than lying on a beach enjoying the view.Fir...

This bad boy has betrayed almost everyone in his life—including the girl falling for him...he just doesn’t know it yet.**If I had to use one word to describe the last few years, it’d be stupid.I was stupid to trust my father that he’d changed.Stupid to turn my back on everyone who loved me to take his side.But now he’s back in prison and I have a lot to make up for.So many apologies to make.I’m trying to be better.Re...
