Your Uncle’s My Husband Now—Back Off, Ex! by MAY

On their third wedding anniversary, Clark Summer gifted his wife a diamond necklace named "Love Nyla," broadcasting his devotion to the world. But while the public swooned, Nyla sat alone in their empty home, staring at a photo sent by a stranger: her husband’s new secretary, Jordyn, wearing that same necklace, tangled in Clark’s arms. For three years, Nyla had been the perfect, submissive wife. In return, she received betrayal, humiliation from her mother-in-law, and Clark’s sickening justification that his affair was merely a "physical necessity" while he still loved her. He believed Nyla was trapped, tethered to him by her father’s astronomical medical bills. He thought she would swallow the insults and raise his mistress's child. He was wrong. Selling their mansion, gathering evidence, and delivering irrefutable proof of her infidelity… Nera turned and left, donning a white lab coat instead of an apron, transforming overnight into a top-tier pharmaceutical researcher who had astonished the industry. When Clark, with belated repentance and red-eyed pleading for her return, saw his icy ex-wife being gently embraced by his uncle Damon, he saw the aloof man before him. The superior man coldly glanced at his nephew, his voice low and dangerous: "What are you calling 'wife'? Call her 'auntie'."

David loves camping and finally convinced Mom to join us, but who knew the car would break down halfway? And just like that, Mom was complaining that David hadn’t checked the car properly before we left, while David just stayed silent and solved the problem like usual. “Mom come on, it’s not Daddy’s fault.” I adjusted the slightly crooked round-framed glasses on my nose and pouted. She stared at me, arms folded, “You’re always his little defender!” I quickly ducked behind David,my hands clutching the hem of his white t-shirt. “Easy Hail, your mom’s not gonna eat you alive.” David turned around, chuckled and ruffled my hair.

Little Bird

Little Bird by Jenika Snow

From USA Today bestselling author Jenika Snow comes a new full-length standalone dark mafia romance set in the Underworld Kings world. The first time I met Dmitry Petrov, he was making a deal for my sister's hand in marriage with his brother. I should have hated him for that alone, but when he stopped my father from hitting me, my young heart felt something new and wonderful for the first time. It was this incurable sensation that consumed me at his protection. But he was nearly fifteen years older than me, more dangerous than any man I'd ever met, and only saw me as his sister-in-law's younger sibling. And when he was arrested and thrown into jail, five long years passed. I refused to give up the notion that one day he'd see me as a woman—a woman he wanted. So I wrote to him daily, confided in him, told him about what was going on in my life, what I hated and loved. I did this all in the hopes he'd write back, wishing he'd want me the way I wanted him. But year after year passed with no response. Until that changed. Until he wrote back. Dmitry was cruel and harsh, saying things that should have made me cry. Not make me want him more. I knew I was playing with fire, sending a criminal pictures of myself after my eighteenth birthday, thinking about him as I did private things alone in my room. But he was a virus deep inside of me, and there was no cure for what I had. And then my life completely changed when my brother tried to marry me off. I refused to be a pawn in the mafia world, and so my only option was to leave the only home I'd ever known. But when Dmitry's released from prison, I came face-to-face with the Russian mafia leader everyone fears. And he made one thing very clear. I'm his. He's taking me. And anyone who tries to stop him will die.

It was a three-week fling. Nothing more than a couple of college kids having some fun, but then I did the stupid thing and fell for Jude Taylor quicker than he can score a goal on the ice. And after one beautiful night together, he left for the pros before I could make my first cup of coffee. I thought I'd put him behind me. I thought I'd moved on. Then he hobbles into my physical therapy office and I realize how absolutely wrong I've been—there's no getting over Jude Taylor.  But now things are complicated. Jude lives half a country away and his career is in direct opposition to my need for stability. Most of all, getting involved with him could mean losing my job and everything I've worked so hard for. Jude doesn't seem to mind one bit and he's all in. He might be a patient in my office, but he's no longer the patient guy I remember. This time, he's playing to win, and the prize he's looking to score is me.

Observant

Observant by Lexy Timms

Details are important. Be Observant... Marisa There's nothing that I can do to make these murders stop. No matter how many leads I follow, I struggle to make a connection to the cases that remain open. With another woman missing and presumably taken like the others, it's impossible to ignore how this is a race against time. Time is just what I don't have when my sister is pushing up her wedding and my nights are heating up and getting too busy with my partner. We're both aware that we're playing a dangerous game by caving to our desire. But the possibility that he might end up having to leave town? That's too horrible to consider.   Soon enough, conflicting clues start popping up. The victims, the motives, and even a specific person of interest. So many variables are shifting. Suddenly, it seems like I'm in too deep, trying to stay afloat with these impossible cases to solve and the man I shouldn't want. It helps that I'm not alone—not in struggling with this desire or in the frustration when we can't find the missing body or the killer. When it becomes clear that time is falling short for the next target, I hate to think that it also means my time with Ryan will be over before it's truly begun. Ryan There's something to be said for not mixing business with pleasure. I can't understand how my partner bumbles through cases and manages to find the clues we need and the criminals we want to stop. All I can respect and admit is how deeply she's come to matter, both on the clock and in my bed. Marisa is the one woman I want to keep in my life. And the one partner I want to trust to always have my back. Focused on these cases, we don't have many opportunities to sit down and talk about our futures. Not when a serial killer needs to be found before they strike again. And not when I'm tempted to show her how well we click and match. Sooner or later, choices will have to be made. If I stay in town to explore this newfound intimacy neither of us can get enough of, there's no chance that I would be able to stay on the force. I promised myself that I'd never let anyone, especially not another woman, influence my choice to stay in my career. I'll never turn off my dedication to see justice be delivered, but this time is different. I hate to consider the idea that I might have to walk away from her love after all.

Fury by LeAnn Ashers

Livie:  Every time I saw him, my body betrayed me—heart hammering against my ribs, skin burning like I'd been branded. I told myself a million reasons why it couldn't happen. He was older. Dangerous. The next president of the Devil Souls MC. Men like him devour girls like me. But God, the way he looked at me... The moment I stepped into the clubhouse for my welcome home party, his eyes locked on mine across the room, and everything I'd built to protect myself crumbled.  Weeks later, his hands were in my hair, his name on my lips, his mark on my soul. I thought nothing could feel better than escaping that suffocating city. I was wrong. Nothing compares to belonging to him. Greyson: I've killed men for less than looking at her the way I do.

I tracked her, followed her, and protected her without her even knowing.  When she finally came home, crossing that town line, the oxygen rushed back into my lungs after years of drowning.
