Blurb: 
Welcome to Neverland. Where shadows consume and magic is frighteningly real.

 

Ava is struggling to provide for herself and her sister, who slips further into insanity with each passing day. Raving about Neverland. Obsessed with a Second Star that Ava can’t see in the black, velvety sky. Until the night Belle succumbs to the terrifying shadows plaguing her and sweeps Ava away to a land that is only supposed to exist in storybooks. 

 

Neverland is real. And so is Peter Pan.

 

He's grown from boy to man, wielding a terrible power he uses to rule the island. When he senses Ava’s presence and sends his Lost Boys to collect her, a dashing captain with a silver hook for a hand comes to her defense. He offers her protection aboard his ship, and the help of his crew to find Belle before Peter and his Lost Boys do. But what he asks for in return might be more than she or her sister can possibly pay. 

 

Belle once stole something invaluable from Peter Pan, something Hook and his crew need if they’re ever to escape the cursed island’s thrall. And despite their undeniable attraction, Hook will do anything to claim it before Pan can.

Casey Bond lives on a rural farm in West Virginia with her husband and their two beautiful daughters. She writes phoenixes – gloriously flawed and morally gray characters that fiercely rise from the ashes of their circumstances. World building is one of her favorite hobbies, along with stamping metal jewelry, swimming, and enjoying the beauty of nature. She thinks thunderstorms are better than coffee and that watching a meteor shower is the closest thing to magic you might ever see. She’s a firm believer that every amazing book needs a world you want to wrap yourself in, a character you want to win, and a love you would fight for.

 

Casey is the award-winning author of When Wishes Bleed, Gravebriar, and House of Eclipses.

Mackenzie
One electrifying night with a stranger turned my entire world on its head. Little did I know, he was Creed Torres, my father's new business associate.
Forbidden, and utterly irresistible, Creed was everything I should have avoided.
Yet, I couldn't help but fall into his magnetic pull.
He became my obsession, my addiction, consuming my every thought. In a cruel twist of fate, he believes I betrayed him after he risked everything for me.
Now, twelve years have passed, and he's back with a vengeance. Our secrets linger, and what began all those years ago is far from finished.

Creed
She was supposed to be a one-night distraction from the chaos of my life.
But when I entered my business associate's home, there she was—Mackenzie Yates, vibrant yet forbidden. I craved her, despite knowing she was off-limits.
I would have torn the world apart for her, and I did the unthinkable. Yet, betrayal shattered everything, leaving me imprisoned for twelve long years.
Now, I'm free, driven by an insatiable thirst for revenge. But seeing her again stirs emotions I never anticipated.






M Jameson enjoys writing steamy, taboo, and forbidden stories. Sometimes dark, sometimes angsty, but sexiness and HEA (albeit not conventional) guaranteed. Jameson loves to delve into the hard topics and pushing the limits, so if you're looking for escapism and like your boundaries crushed, she's your go-to.

The Assignment: Room 3


Title: The Assignment: Room 3
Series: Club V
Author: Eva Haining
Genre/Tropes: Kink Club, Ex Navy SEAL, Friends-to-Lovers, He Falls First 
Release Date: March 28, 2025 
Cover Design: biasantana.design







I live by the rules I set for myself, with one core belief at the forefront of everything I do…

I protect what’s mine.

With too many demons to face, and no direction in my life, I joined the Navy as soon as I turned eighteen, and I became a machine. A precision weapon. The elite of the elite.

On SEAL Team One, I did what was necessary to protect my country. I learned that I thrive under pressure in high stakes situations, and when I moved back to New York, I found a new way to channel the storm raging inside of me. At least for a while.

I trained to become a Dominant and never looked back.

Club Venom became my new home, my passion project, and gave me a space to exert control in my relationships without the messy emotions I left behind so many years ago.

I never deviate from the plan. From the rules. From the contracts. That is… until I cross the line… for her. I’ll do anything to make her mine. And I always protect what’s mine. I always will…

Until my dying breath.
