Ruin has Sharp Fangs by M.R. Pritchard
Ivy Calder is desperate to save her struggling flower shop when she signs what she believes is a simple Valentine’s delivery contract. Instead, she summons Thorn, a Ledger Demon created to enforce Hell’s laws and collect debts without mercy. Bound to the contract and to Ivy, Thorn is disciplined, lethal, and never meant to feel desire. Yet as Valentine’s Day approaches, their forced closeness awakens something neither expected.
Thorn was forged under ancient infernal laws that leave no room for choice, and Ivy was never meant to become part of Hell’s accounting. As attraction deepens and the Ledger begins to notice their bond, survival turns into defiance. In Ruin Has Sharp Fangs by M.R. Pritchard, a contract meant to consume becomes the spark of rebellion, proving that even in the shadow of Hell, love can bite back.
The Valentine's Date by Lorna Dounaeva
A candlelit dinner seems like the perfect start to romance, especially after finally working up the nerve to ask out the woman he has been admiring for weeks. In The Valentine’s Date by Lorna Dounaeva, what begins as a dreamy holiday evening quickly shifts when Red admits she despises Valentine’s Day. As the wine keeps flowing and her intentions grow harder to read, he realizes this date may not be about love at all. The night takes an unexpected turn, leaving him questioning whether he is headed for heartbreak, humiliation, or something far more surprising.
Under the Laird’s Protection by Shona Thompson (Under Highland Desire Series)
Sent to secure a fragile alliance, Marsaili MacBain never expects betrayal at the hands of the man she is meant to marry. Her fate changes when Laird Alasdair Grant intervenes, choosing her safety over clan duty. Bound by obligation yet driven by fierce protectiveness, Alasdair risks his standing and power to shield her from scandal and ruin. As danger and desire collide within castle walls, both must defy expectations and blood ties. What began as a political bargain becomes a battle for honor, freedom, and a love neither of them planned to claim.
