I think I could love him. The NHL beckons, so I know I’m going to lose him, and somehow knowing that makes a secret fling with Noah Peterson safe. Like free falling when you know a net is in place, the reality of an end date gives me permission to let go. To just … be. And for someone like me, someone Who has lived their life in the shadows, that is a revelation. A new year brings new challenges, new teammates, and new bunnies.

Throughout my college hockey career I’ve chased them as much as I have the puck. But something, someone, has changed the game. And trust me, despite the blonde hair, blue eyes, and massive … ahh… heart, that someone is no Bunny. She’s everything.

Ivy Booker

I’ve lived in Boston my entire life. I like it here, it’s quiet and lowkey. My world is all sugary Starbucks drinks, watching reruns of Friends, and playing cards with Pops on Sundays. One thing I don’t love? Football.

Despite my family being football royalty, I swore off the sport a long time ago. I am much happier without it. Or I thought I was. Everything changed when a guy walked into my bar one summer's night.

Scott Harvey

Football is my everything. Coming to Boston wasn’t my number one choice but I’m chasing a ring and signing with the Broncos was my best chance. It’s a one year deal with a penthouse apartment. Easy. After all, I am the highest paid starting QB in the league.

I just want to play football and get out of this town. I didn’t count on getting a glimpse of my dream girl working at a sports bar. She hates football though.

Lucky for me, she has no idea who I am …

Play The Last Card is a standalone sports & contemporary romance. It is Olivia Fenwick's debut novel.

This man, Mallrie, just saved my life, but how do I know I can trust him? After all, no one in their right mind is out after dark, yet here he is.
Here I am.

***

In Datura, a small township plagued by nocturnal, flesh-eating monsters, two rules are immutably enforced: never venture into the Melsheim Forest surrounding the town and never leave your home after dark. The stench of death and decay clings to the cobblestone streets where Flesh-Hunters lurk in every corner, always hungry for their next meal.

When Eliana, half a bottle of gin deep, stumbles through the dark streets, she races against time to get home. When she finds herself cornered, convinced she’s about to meet the God of Death, a flash of purple and a man will shatter everything she thought she knew. She’ll find herself breaking not only the laws of Datura but also the rules she’s enforced to protect her heart.

Years ago, Mallrie made a promise, one he’s determined to keep—even if it means sacrificing his morals. To rid Datura of the Kailadons, he must restore the magic to the ancient tree at the heart of the town. He’s spent years focused solely on that goal, on that promise. He never meant to fall in love, but when Eliana crashed into his life, she brought a storm of questionable choices—him being one of them.

What good is keeping a promise when it no longer benefits those you love?

In the heart of the Melsheim Forest, the Enkantian witches are thriving, protected by the magic within Vaasis. But that magic is not enough to shield Mallrie and Cyan Delacroix from living under their oppressive father’s shadow or their mother's stifling expectations. Cyan, having enough of Atherton’s abuse, works with his brother to rid them of their father once and for all. However, the Fates work in mysterious ways, and when one obstacle is removed, another emerges. But a Delacroix always keeps their promise—especially when it comes to revenge.

All Delora ever wanted was to disappear.

Thrown into the Veil for a crime she committed, Delora was discarded by the world. Although afraid of her oncoming demise, she accepts it as it would be a worldly escape from her problems. She didn’t expect that she would wake up from her deadly fall, nor that the person who saved her would be a Duskwalker.

She’s wary about him at first, but Delora begins to realise there’s more to him than just a faceless monster.

All he ever wanted was a name.

After discovering that humans can be kept as companions, he begins planning for the day he finds his own bride. He still lacks humanity and there is much to learn first. One morning when leaving his cave, a human suddenly crashes into him from the sky. Broken and sleeping, he gets to work on healing the woman.

It doesn’t take him long to understand she’s wounded in a way his magic can’t heal.

But will he be able to gain her affections, or will she come to hate him as he stumbles his way through learning about her – and more importantly, himself?

All Mayumi ever wanted was to hunt Demons.

After being discharged from the Demonslayer guild, Mayumi chose to isolate herself within the forest. The best place to hunt and kill Demons. But, one night, she’s surprised when a different monster is lured by her baits.

Just before she unleashes an arrow that’s aimed to kill, Mayumi pauses. She realises she’s seen that skulled, feline face before and that it had once saved her life.

All Faunus ever wanted was her.

After the Demon King cracked his skull, Faunus returns to watch over the only human he has ever cared for. He knows what his future holds, she would never become his bride, but he wants to spend what remains of his life protecting her.

He never expected that she would ever befriend him, or that she would openly desire him. She’s as fiery as her burning passion, and he’s desperate to let her consume him.

But his time in this world grows short, and Faunus doesn’t know how he can be with Mayumi when he knows nothing will save him.

All Raewyn ever wanted was to go home.

After accidentally creating a portal to another realm, Raewyn finds herself trapped in a world she’s struggling to navigate. Desperate to find those with magic who can help her, she sets out on a dangerous journey to another town.

Unfortunately, on her travels, she learns there are bigger and scarier monsters than the Demons she knows of – and one of them won’t let her get away.

All Merikh ever wanted was to escape.

For a hundred and eighty years, Merikh has been hunting for a way off Earth. He doesn’t care who he has to eat, kill, or maim to get what he wants. So, when his prey ends up being a lost Elf, he realises this is his opportunity.

She’s prettier than any creature he’s ever seen, and so damn perfect that it’s impossible to resist her otherworldly lure.

But Merikh destroys everything he touches. Will he be able to overcome years of hatred and anger to allow himself to get close to her, or will he lose her in the process?

All Emerie ever wanted was redemption.

When a monster comes to Zagros Fortress, Emerie is tasked with capturing him. She never would have gone through with it had she known their treatment of him would be inhumane, nor can she stand by and allow it to continue.

Unfortunately, agreeing to help him in his goal may not have been the wisest choice. Along the way, he manages to charm her, and what she once found frightening becomes utterly titillating instead.

All Ingram ever wanted was revenge.

After a traumatic event, Ingram does something foolish. He seeks out aid in his quest for retribution, only to find himself in the clutches of enemies who wear Demon-like uniforms. They’re all cruel – except for her.

She is as beautiful as she is broken, but in a way that soothes his own pain. He’s never desired a female of his own, yet her sensuality fiercely calls to him. He starts wanting more, while lacking the humanity to truly understand what he seeks.

Will Ingram be able to forgive Emerie for what she has done to him, and erase her doubts at the same time?

All Gideon wanted was a friend.

After waking up in the afterlife to discover he died, Gideon has nowhere to go. The world around him feels strange, utterly false, and he struggles to let go of the past he was ripped away from.

Gideon never expects his new, monstrous friend to nibble his way into his heart, or give him purpose in death. His wings are soft, his body strong, and his skull face oddly compelling, but what point is there in desiring more when their future is meaningless?

All Aleron wanted was his kindred.

Having been violently separated from his twin, Aleron is left behind in Tenebris. Unlikely events lead him into an adventure with a pretty human, who entrances him more with every step they take. Gideon is funny yet confusing, and he makes desire sink into Aleron like a frustrating set of claws.

Aleron’s heart is big, it’s ready to love, and it’s fond of the male he has in his keeping. But things do not always go as promised, even when Aleron is given the potential to have everything he wants.

Will Aleron be able to keep those important to him close, or will he come to regret the choices he’s made?

He owns her soul … but she’s stealing his heart.

Satan Junior Lucifer, reluctant Crown Prince of Hell, has a lot on his shoulders. In the face of a soul famine, his father the King has tasked him with finding a way to lure more souls to Hell.

With the help of his Hell Hounds, he invents a devious new way of tricking humans into selling their soul for whatever frivolous thing their heart desires, under the assumption that they can earn it back in four payments.

But before he can present his ground-breaking idea to Daddy, he really should test it out on an unwitting human … and he’s got his eye on one in particular …

***
Jemma Bliss, volunteer art therapist and cosplay crocheter to the local ferret population, enjoys the simple things in life. A ride-or-die bestie, a bookshelf of monster romance novels, and indulging in a gluten free donut after a hard day’s work running her market stall.

But when a giant, smirking, annoyingly sexy man purchases every last donut on a particularly stressful Saturday—and won’t even share a single one with her—Jemma goes home alone to drown her sorrows.

One too many wines, some very odd text messages, and suddenly Jemma finds her soul is the property of the son of Satan … and she’s caught up in a battle to win it back from him.

Her plan? Well, the devil seems quite enraptured by her, so maybe she could take a leaf out of her monster books, and shag her way out of this little pickle she’s found herself in?

As long as pesky feelings don’t get in the way, that is …

“There is just one rule. Don’t eat the koalas.”

The Alpha of the Magnetic Island Pack has neglected his duties and escaped into the bush to live as a wolf after the death of his mate. With rogue wolves on the mainland threatening to destroy them, the pack make a desperate attempt to defend their territory. They call a Warrior of the Moon Goddess for help.

Finn Cassidy has lived a nomadic life saving wolf packs in the hope of finding a home. Since escaping his ruthless father, it has been his mission to honor the Goddess and fight those who don’t—rogue wolves. But to restore the Alpha on Magnetic Island, Finn must face his darkest rivals yet. And a greater challenge—meeting his mate.

Finn won’t let distractions deter him from his mission, but he can’t ignore Fate. Ava Hart has been hurt by the rogues and though she remains ignorant of the paranormal world, the best way to protect her is to forge their mating bond. As they work together at the koala hospital, desire ignites and Finn gains her trust. But can Ava embrace his world and accept him as her mate? Will proving the pack can protect their mates from the rogues be enough to lure the Alpha out of the bush? Or does Fate have other plans this coming full moon?

She swam away from her problems, but now her problems can swim too.

Elena could never have predicted that taking a break from her hectic Olympic career would see her kidnapped and held captive in an underwater coral castle. Even less so, when she wakes up inside a giant clam, gifted with the ability to breathe underwater by a himbo merman who can't keep his lips to himself.

Triton has lived a lonely existence for over a thousand years. Abandoned by his family long ago, and his only companion the Bottlenose dolphin who raised him, Triton is overjoyed to discover his fated mate. Only… she wants to find her way back home, and he is desperate to convince her to stay.

Elena is faced with a life-altering decision: figure out how to get home, or stay in Aeolia with the merman who has stolen her heart.

Tempting Triton is a story about second chances, finding love where you least expect it, and new beginnings. Join Elena and Triton as they navigate consent, a malfunctioning barrier, and a burning hot desire that neither of them seems able to control.

“Dear God, pardon my French, but please don’t let me fuck this up!”

Melanie Black is cursed – just ask her crazy superstitious mother.

Her tennis career is teetering on the brink of fabulousness, but she can’t seem to make it past a quarter-final. She’s also desperate to break her yearlong sex-drought; a problem because the only men she sees with any regularity are her hard-arse coach Steve, and his infuriating (but hot as Hell) son, Joel. Oh, and her best friend Brad, but he doesn’t really count.

But Mel’s luck is about to change, as she finally breaks her quarter-final curse, and gets an invite for sexy-times with tennis superstar and renowned playboy Pete Levine. Things seems to be looking up, until a sudden, horrific event turns everything upside down.

Desperate times call for desperate measures, and she and Joel decide to work together to try and deal with the fallout and pick up the pieces of Mel’s career, even as their teasing, antagonistic relationship begins to feel the strain of constant proximity…

…Mel’s tennis career may be getting back on track, but as other parts of their lives spin out of control, things between the two are bound to become explosive – one way or another.
