🏒 Love on Ice
Hockey romance books blend Canadian spirit with the thrill of competition. They show that love can flourish amid intensity and teamwork — the perfect balance of fire and ice.
💼 Dangerous Love Stories
While mafia and mob romances carry darker tones, readers are drawn to their tension and loyalty. It’s not the danger itself, but the devotion underneath it that resonates. Even when we step back from that darkness, those themes remind us how far love can go to protect and endure.
💌 Love Without Boundaries
At Ever After Stories, we celebrate love’s many forms — from daring adventure to tender domesticity. Because no matter the setting, the heart is always the hero.
