Midnight Chase by @author_harleighbeck

Book 2 Dark Lanes series

🔗 Pre-Order ➤ https://books2read.com/u/3Lz95D

Blurb

Jessica’s world is falling apart.
Her mother is slipping away. Her brother is unraveling. And every choice she makes pulls her deeper into Bleakmoor’s shadows.
She should walk away from Kane Ravencourt.
He’s reckless, possessive and consuming.
But when he touches her, she forgets why she ever tried to run.

Kane has already decided. Jessica is his.
She thinks she can stay away.
She can’t. Not from him.
Jessica is his, no matter what it costs. His father’s threats, his friends’ warnings, her family’s hatred… None of it matters.
Because he’ll burn every rule, every enemy, every fucking boundary to keep her.
Being noticed by him is dangerous.
Being wanted by him is ruin.
And together, they’re headed for their Midnight Chase.

❓️ What are you having for Christmas dinner?

🏒 CryBully: A MM Hockey Bully Romance By Ashlynn

🧨Pre-Order Now: https://a.co/d/3rFkohc
🏒 Release Date: Jan 2026

BLURB:
They were never meant to be more than a secret.
One reckless summer.
A mistake that burned too hot to survive daylight.
When Bastian walked away without a word, Lyzander told himself it didn’t matter. He learned how to bury want beneath bruises, discipline, and the weight of leadership—until anger sharpened into something meaner. Something easier to control. Now Lyzander is captain—untouchable, respected, feared.
And Bastian is back.
Same university, same elite hockey team, same cramped dorm.
Every shift on the ice is a power play.
Every practice is punishment disguised as leadership.
Every cutting remark, every extra drill, every public correction reminds Bastian who holds the power.
To the team, it’s authority.
To Bastian, it’s personal.
Lyzander calls it discipline—control, armor. Because if he breaks Bastian down first, maybe he won’t break himself. But resentment curdles into hunger. Every brush of skin is a threat. Every look dares the other to remember what they were—and what they still want.
Because in a world built on violence, loyalty, and silence, wanting the wrong person isn’t just dangerous—it’s unforgivable.
And this time, it could cost them everything.

CryBully is a MM Hockey Bully Romance. This book is intended for readers 18+. Please see the author`s website for full

Naughty or Nice

by @author.samantha.barrett

?¿ Have you been naughty or nice this year?

BLURB

Forgive me, Santa, I have been a naughty, naughty girl.

I don’t care if my stocking is filled with coal. I’d gladly stay on the naughty list as long as they keep filling me with their release every night.

Oh, Santa. They may dress like you, fill my bedroom with naughty little treats, and make all my secret Christmas wishes come true, but I have one last request...

Help me uncover who the three masked men are. The ones that chase me through my office, stalk me like I’m their prey, and make my body hum with pleasure like they own every inch of me.

Your naughtiest girl always,
Holly xx
