Jeremiah (A St. Claire Novel Book 11) by Tina Martin
Home is where my heart has always been. But it's also where it was broken.
That's why I moved away from Jeremiah. I loved him. Gave him my all, and he left me with a broken heart, a broken spirit, and a little girl.
He didn't know I was pregnant when I left - not that it would've mattered. He was always the cocky, unbothered, laid back type that didn't care about anyone but himself. He didn't care about me, so how would he care for a baby?
Circumstances have me moving back to where my heartbreak lives. I promise myself to do everything in my power to avoid him, but unbeknownst to me, my mother hired him to do some work for her. Now, I'm forced to see him frequently.
And my daughter - well, she loves him like a father, not knowing that's who he actually is.

Then he tears a hole in time and watches that life end: his mate bleeding out at the gates of the Glen, their unborn son dying with her. Suddenly, the one realm he swore he'd never enter holds the only magic that might save her.
His father is holding the door.
Eric abandoned him decades ago. Now the old warlock waits inside that sealed realm, patient as rot, feeding his son one careful favor at a time. Aaron tells himself the help is real. He can't see that every gift is a hook, and the crown will cost him the man he is.
Mara sees it. She was raised in a pride that hunts, and she knows the prey when she smells it.
Saving her means taking a throne Aaron never wanted, and giving up the only way he's ever known how to love her: with both hands closed.

Safe Space Duet by Tiffany Patterson
Chanel
Xavier Grant was everything a woman could want. He was a successful restaurateur and club owner and has the looks of a God with the sex appeal to back it all up. I had a crush on him since my early teenage years. Now, here I am thirty years old, after having just moved back to my hometown of Houston and finding myself still lusting over this man. So how did I handle this growing attraction? Like any self-respecting, professional woman who’d had her heart broken numerous times by the men in her life, I ran. I tried to ignore the sparks that flew whenever we were in the same room as one another. I have my reasons. Xavier was one of the most eligible bachelors in the city with women clamoring for his attention. Aside from that, he was my brother’s best friend, practically family—certainly treated more like family than I was. No, I didn’t need those types of problems. My best bet was to steer clear of Xavier Grant.
Xavier
Chanel had grown into a beautiful woman. Any man with eyes could see that. But, she was my best friend’s little sister.

Something was telling me she needed me. Usually, I’m not into being needed by a woman. I do my thing and don’t bother getting too serious, but I couldn’t ignore this pull I had to her. And when I see the danger she puts herself into helping one of her clients, my protective instincts come out. I want her. And no one, not my friendship with her brother or her father is going to stop that. Except, maybe her.
**Please note: Safe Space deals with discussions, scenes and scenarios dealing with domestic violence, and the ultimate violence that it can lead to. The hero of this story is NOT the perpetuator of these acts, but they do exist within the story.
