Three Swedish Mountain Men by Lily Gold

Three Swedish Mountain Men by Lily Gold

Three ripped, gorgeous men. One secluded Swedish mountain cabin. It looks like my vacation is about to heat up. After my ex-boyfriend makes me the target of a cruel online hate campaign, I know I have to get away.

Now a storm’s brewing, and I’m being carried into a secluded mountain cabin by a Nordic God rippling with muscle. Inside, I’m greeted by three sizzling-hot Swedish mountain men: Riven, the cool… Read more.

Make Me Yours by Melanie Harlow

Make Me Yours by Melanie Harlow

He’s my brother’s best friend. The hot single dad next door. And one accidental sext later, my massive crush on him is no longer a secret. It’s my own damn fault. I’m thirty years old, for heaven’s sake. I’m a kindergarten teacher and a (reasonably) responsible adult. I should know better than to get tipsy and draft a fake text listing all the dirty things I wish Officer Cole Mitchell would do to me. I wasn’t supposed to hit send. He wasn’t supposed to see it. And he definitely wasn’t supposed to text back telling me to go on. Because after that, things escalate quickly. Cole is everything I’ve… Read more.

Equal Rites by Terry Pratchett

Equal Rites by Terry Pratchett

It is known as the Discworld. It is a flat planet, supported on the backs of four elephants, who in turn stand on the back of the great turtle A’Tuin as it swims majestically through space. And it is quite possibly the funniest place in all of creation. The last thing the wizard Drum Billet did before Death laid a bony hand on his shoulder, was to pass on his staff of power to the eighth son of an eighth son. Unfortunately for his colleagues in the chauvinistic (not to say misogynistic) world of magic, he failed to check on the new-born baby’s sex.
