Unhinged Cain by Brooklyn Cross

Unhinged Cain by Brooklyn Cross

Kirby wished for a new life, but the Devil sent her Cain. I knew what my calling in life was at a young age. I was the embodiment of death. The scent of blood and watching the life fade from something’s eyes was more delicious than any dessert. With my twin Abel by my side, we revelled in the pain of others and the knowledge that we were above it all. Not even the FBI could hunt us down. The one thing I hadn’t accounted for was Kirby and the unusual spark of emotion she created. Being a psychopath, I knew my range of emotions had always been limited. Things… Read more.

To Love Jason Thorn by Ella Maise

To Love Jason Thorn by Ella Maise

Jason Thorn… My brother’s childhood friend. Oh, how stupidly in love with that boy I was. He was the first boy that made me blush, my first official crush. Sounds beautiful so far, right? That excitement that bubbles up inside you, those famous butterflies you feel for the very first time—he was the reason for them all. But, you only get to live in that fairytale world until they crush your hopes and dreams and then stomp on your heart for good measure. And boy did he crush my little heart into pieces.

Obsession by Gemma Weir  

Obsession by Gemma Weir

As soon as I realized she existed, I lost the ability to look away. She was always destined to be mine. I’m Sebastian Lockwood; a king among men. And kings get to take what they want. My little bird disagreed. She fought me, and disobeyed me even though we both know she belongs to me. So I broke her, bent her to my will. I pushed too hard, loved too much and she ran from me. But letting her go was impossible. So I chased; hiding in the shadows, silently pulling the strings that would bind her to me. Two years have passed, I’ve waited long enough. It’s time to reclaim my queen; to take what’s mine. The trap is set, a gilded… Read more.

Chemist Elizabeth Zott is not your average woman. In fact, Elizabeth Zott would be the first to point out that there is no such thing as an average woman. But it’s the early 1960s and her all-male team at Hastings Research Institute takes a very unscientific view of equality. Except for one: Calvin Evans; the lonely, brilliant, Nobel–prize nominated grudge-holder who falls in love with—of all things—her mind. True chemistry results.
