"Happily ever after isn't all that magical . . .
With Hell's chasm closed and magic sealed away, Orpheus and Fenrir find themselves at the center of the Empire's reconstruction. But when mysterious assailants kidnap Orpheus to a city once powered by the chasm he closed—the redeemed villain discovers all magic may not be lost . . . only his.
Presented with a choice: Fix the city or die, Orpheus comes face-to-face with a young mage named Gwen whose magic is too weak to cast a spell, let alone help the broken city. Enamored by the former dark sorcerer, Gwen offers to help keep Orpheus' missing powers a secret in exchange for magical tutelage, buying Orpheus the time he needs for Fenrir to come to his rescue.
But when weeks pass without Fenrir's arrival while Gwen only grows stronger, Orpheus looks to his unlikely student and wonders . . .
Is there a way to steal Gwen's magic and save himself?

BEARD: Oh, I want him. But it's too risky.
My past isn't pretty. After a disastrous incident nearly destroyed me, I rose from the ashes to reclaim my life. I may not be happy, but I'm comfortable. And I'll never let anyone get close enough to hurt me again. But then six feet of pure temptation walks through the doors of my bar . . . repeatedly . . . for a year. I've done a good job of ignoring the sexy college soccer player, until the night his teammates leave him stranded and intoxicated, forcing me to offer him shelter. Now I can't shake the persistent man.
SOCCER: I play to win. But he's more than a game.
As a forward, it's my job to score points. Too bad I haven't been able to do that with the local green-eyed bartender. I haven't been subtle about my attraction, and Beard's interest shines through his gruff exterior . . . whether he chooses to admit it or not. When my well-meaning teammates intervene, using questionable tactics, and leave me at Beard's mercy, it's time to make my move.
When past hurts threaten to destroy their chance at happiness, is it time for Soccer to push forward to reach his ultimate goal . . . or has he made a play destined for mutual heartbreak?

"BARCLAY: Ever since college, I've kept everyone at a distance. I'm not deserving of the love my friends have found, so I know better than to go looking for it. But they're on to something when they tease me about my long-term friend with benefits. I can't stand the idea of losing Val when he realizes I'm not the man he thinks I am, so it's better for me to keep things the same as they've always been.
VAL: Just because our relationship is open doesn't mean Barclay isn't enough for me. The casual physicality of our relationship has become normal, but as the years wear on, I find myself wanting more. Our situation has always had an open door to the bedroom, but if he thinks he'd be okay with me seeing other people outside of those four walls, I'm ready to put him to the test. Meeting Jason is unexpected, and apparently just the thing Barclay needed to take action. I've had no idea how deep Barclay's feelings go, and as he spills them out to me, I fall a little more in love. Suddenly, there's a rich future on the table that I'd never imagined. He's ready to give me anything—and anyone—to keep me happy. I don't know how he spent so long thinking he wasn't worthy of this kind of happiness. His heart has so much to give and I'm always willing to take, so we're faced with no option except to share.

"Chase
I had a brief glimpse of what it would be like to have it all. Then in a blink of an eye, it goes up in smoke. Once again, Easton has disappeared without a trace. Because he finally wised up and realized he's too good for me or was it something more sinister?

What if I never get the chance to tell him how I feel about him?
Easton
I ruined everything. My brother is shattered by what I did, Chase can't even look at me. Worse, I know my escape is temporary. He will find me again. It's only a matter of when.

And why should he? It's not like I have anything to offer. Not anymore.

"From TikTok phenom @MommaCusses comes an adorable small-town story of rumors, fake dating, and romance perfect for fans of Ali Hazelwood and Alina Jacobs.
Swinton, Oklahoma, runs on gossip.
The supply is managed by The Gaggle—a flock of civic-minded busybodies who treat the town Facebook pages like a public records database and everyone else’s life like a community project.
So when ceramic artist Didi Stephens moves to town to help her twin brother and open her dream pottery studio, the Gaggle immediately decides she’s the perfect solution to another civic concern:
Chief of Police Foster Grady needs to get over his divorce. Within days, the town has already decided Didi and Foster are secretly dating. Didi suggests the obvious solution.
The town wants a romance? Give them one.
A pretend relationship will convince the Gaggle that Foster has finally moved on and give Didi the publicity she needs to launch her studio. All they have to do is hold hands in public, show up together to town events, and survive the rumor mill. Easy.
Except Swinton is currently dealing with a serial panty thief, the Gaggle has begun planning Foster and Didi’s wedding, and the more convincing their fake relationship becomes, the harder it is to remember it started as damage control.
Because in Swinton, once you become talk of the townies, the whole town expects a happy ending. And everyone is watching."
