A fake mating pact between two wolf shifters turns into something dangerously real and deliciously heated in this steamy paranormal romcom. Dolly Pierce needs a mate. And she needs one fast. When her dream bakery goes up for sale—and the old-fashioned owner has one very particular condition: he’ll only sell it to a mated pair, Dolly does the bravest thing she’s ever done. She lies through her fucking teeth. ~ Noah Thompson knows he shouldn’t crave the wild, excitable woman that is Dolly Pierce. For one, she’s everything he should stay away from—bright where he is guarded, impulsive where he is careful, and far too good at getting under his skin. For seconds, she‘s his best friend's younger sister. So when Dolly asks him to pretend to be her mate, saying no should be easy. It isn’t. And the longer they pretend, the harder it becomes to remember that it’s all a lie. Especially with Dolly suddenly smelling less like trouble, and more like the one thing he can’t resist: An Omega in heat.

A love like theirs was never loud. It didn’t arrive with fireworks or declarations that split the sky. It came quietly—through shared mornings, unfinished conversations, and the kind of presence that lingers even when words fail. The Weight of Staying follows two people who find each other not at their best, but at their most uncertain. As life presses in with expectations, past wounds, and choices that refuse to stay simple, they are faced with a question that feels heavier each day: is love something you fight for, or something you release? Staying begins to feel like both an act of courage and a quiet form of sacrifice. Between moments of tenderness and fractures that cut deeper than either expected, they learn that love is not just about holding on—it’s about what holding on costs. And sometimes, the hardest thing is not leaving, but choosing to remain when everything inside you trembles. A story of devotion, restraint, and the silent battles no one sees, this novel explores what it means to stay when staying is the heaviest choice of all.

I wrote a dark romance full of red flags. Cyrus Crest was a Possessive billionaire., Obsessive and dangerous. The kind readers eat up. Then I spilled coffee on my laptop… and woke up inside my own unfinished book. Now I’m stuck as the heroine, face-to-face with Cyrus Crest, the exact man I created and the exact type I hate. I can’t change anything I’ve already written. I can’t tell him this is a book. And every time I try to run, the plot drags me right back to him. I was supposed to stay and let him help me up. I scrambled away and ran instead. He noticed. Now the red flag I wrote is looking at me like I’m the only thing that doesn’t obey him… and he’s decided I’m his. I hate him. I created him. And somehow, I’m the one who has to survive him long enough to write the ending.

Amelia Carter only wanted a quiet drink after work. Instead, she found herself trapped by a man who refused to take "no" for an answer. Luckily, a devastatingly handsome stranger slides into the empty seat beside her, slips an arm around her shoulders, and casually announces, "There you are, sweetheart. I've been looking everywhere for you." It's the perfect fake-boyfriend rescue. At least... it was supposed to be. Jake Harper only meant to save a woman from an uncomfortable situation. He definitely didn't expect the simple contact of his arm around her shoulders to send every instinct inside him into absolute chaos. Because Amelia isn't just any woman. She's his mate. The one person every werewolf spends a lifetime searching for. The problem? Amelia has absolutely no idea werewolves exist. Determined to let her fall for him before dropping the biggest supernatural bombshell in history, Jake agrees to keep dating her like a perfectly normal human boyfriend. There's just one tiny problem. Normal couples hold hands, cuddle, kiss and eventually end up in bed together. And every innocent touch has Jake's wolf snarling to claim her and make her his forever. Meanwhile, Amelia is becoming increasingly convinced she's somehow landed the world's hottest commitment-phobe. Why does he freeze every time she reaches for his hand? Why does he practically launch himself off the sofa when she tries to snuggle? And why does the man kiss like he's starving... only to sprint out of the room looking utterly traumatised? As Jake battles possessive instincts and a secret that grows harder to hide with every day, Amelia is determined to figure out what on earth is going on with her ridiculously attractive, maddeningly confusing new boyfriend. After all, love is complicated. Falling for a werewolf is a whole different beast.

Xavier has spent his entire life being the perfect son—until his parents decide to take away the one thing he has never been willing to surrender: his freedom. Forced into an arranged marriage with the daughter of a powerful family, Xavier leaves home in anger, determined to have one last night of freedom before his life is decided for him. Then he meets Raul. A handsome, mysterious stranger who seems to be everything Xavier is drawn to. One night. Just one unforgettable night before Xavier returns to the life his family chose for him. But fate has other plans. Xavier discovers that the woman he is supposed to marry is Raul's younger sister—and she has no intention of going through with the arrangement. Worse still, Raul isn't just a stranger from one reckless night. He's Xavier's new university professor. And when the marriage alliance between their families begins to fall apart, Raul makes an unexpected proposal. Instead of marrying his sister, he will marry Xavier. Their marriage is supposed to exist in name only—a convenient arrangement designed to preserve their families' alliance. But living under the same roof while pretending to be nothing more than business partners proves far more complicated than either of them expected. Because Raul remembers that night. And Xavier can't forget it either. As their boundaries begin to disappear, an unexpected rival threatens everything they've built. What happens when the man Xavier thought would be nothing more than a one-night memory becomes his professor, his husband, and the one person he can no longer imagine living without? It was supposed to be a marriage in name only. So why does it feel so real?
