Summary: Rumor Has It is a slow-burn, enemies-to-lovers sapphic romance about fake dating, real feelings, and the chaos of falling for the last person you should. Riley Carter has one rule: stay away from Jordy Bennet. The star basketball player with a bad reputation and a grin for every situation is the exact kind of disaster Riley avoids. But when a viral Instagram post forces them into the spotlight—as a couple—Riley agrees to fake date Jordy on one condition: no feelings, no drama, and definitely no falling in love. Jordy’s used to rumors. She’s built her entire reputation on not caring what anyone thinks—until Riley. Until the girl who knows her too well starts to see through the act. And suddenly, pretending doesn’t feel so pretend anymore. With tutoring sessions, shared secrets, and a spark they can’t seem to shake, Riley and Jordy are walking a very fine line between faking it and feeling everything. The rumors are spreading. The line is blurring. And the truth? It might just ruin them both… or be the start of something real.

Two years after whistle-blowing on irregularities in the company she worked for in the US, businesswoman Veronica Smith runs into Cassandra Forster, the woman with whom she had an intense affair back in New York.

When they pick up where they left off, Ronnie finds she still wants more…but does Cass feel the same? Cass wants an explanation.

Can she trust herself to let someone into her life? Over a weekend and a wedding, the two women finally talk and discover they have more in common than the ability to meet each other’s desires.

Summary: Chester Monroe had tried giving his mate the space he’d asked for, the time he needed, waiting patiently for him to come around, but it was growing harder to stay away. By sharing his blood, and saving Chester’s life, he’d set them on a path from which there was no turning back. Unfortunately, his mate had other ideas. Sheriff Silas Bailey didn’t want a mate. He’d witnessed firsthand what vampires were capable of and refused to have any more dealings with them. It never entered his mind to say no when Chester had been shot and lay dying. He was an officer of the law and if he could save an individual he would. Even if that individual was his unwanted vampire mate. As time passed there was no denying the attraction or the pull between them, but there was someone in Silas’ life who refused to accept Chester. Can they move forward in their mating, or is it doomed to failure?
