    When Gillian Jennings's husband dies mid-fling, she's left furious, humiliated, and desperate to take back control. She does so by indulging herself in no-strings sex in the very apartment he cheated on her in. After all, desire is easy. Trust is not.
    Sam Freedman makes her living fixing what other people break. She's blunt, rough around the edges, and used to relying on her own two hands—not anyone's promises. But fun with a gorgeous stranger promising no complications changes everything.
    The women's chemistry is immediate and scorching, but it doesn't stay contained. Gillian's hunger shifts from revenge to want. Sam's careful distance begins to crack. And the more they give each other in the dark, the harder it is to walk away in the light.

    Foxling Toka has served the Soldati king for centuries, and now he attends to the kingdom’s cherished Soldati prince. It’s a position of honor, and as Toka helps the once-human prince adapt to their magical realm, he finds joy in their friendship. He also grows bolder in his encounters with Rayner, Soldati warrior and the king’s second. But the laws are clear: servants and Soldati are not permitted to mate. It doesn’t matter that Toka lost his heart to the dashing cad long ago. 
    Rayner never imagined he would fall in love with a servant, but the clever and beautiful foxling has ensnared him, and he resents the regulations keeping them apart. When an arrogant and spiteful king visits from a neighboring realm, Rayner is in danger of losing everything. But Soldati warriors don’t surrender, and he intends to fight all the harder to keep Toka where he belongs—in Rayner’s arms. 
    Content Warning: Please note this story contains scenes of sexual assault that may trigger some listeners.

    When you’re clueless, Mr. Romance can help. 
    Charlie 
    I’m not sure how it happened, but it turns out I’ve unknowingly been dating three people. 
    Friends don’t spoil other friends, apparently. My trust fund means I can afford to, though, and what’s a meal here and there? Or some clothes? Or textbooks? That doesn’t mean we’re dating, right? 
    Others disagree. If I want to get through the rest of college knowing who my friends are, I need help from someone who knows all about dating and can tell me what not to do. 
    Someone like Mr. Romance. 
    Liam 
    When people look at me, romance is the last thing they think of… but I’m still the first person they call. Need a first date planned? A big romantic moment? Gotta beg for forgiveness? I’m your man. When it comes to romance, I’ve got it handled. 
    Not personally, though. My romantic life is… barren. All I really want is someone to snuggle with and spoil me. What I’ve got is planning dates for people who have no clue about romancing someone. 
    But now I’m somehow Charlie Martin’s anti-romance consultant. Charlie, who’s completely clueless yet the most accepting and friendly person I’ve ever met. Who’s giving and generous. Who’s befriended me and wants me to be happy. 
    I’m supposed to help him stop his friends from falling for him. The last thing I need is to fall for him myself.
