Books like 1001 Dark Nights by Lexi Blake

A chilling anthology of nineteen Stephen King short stories, Night Shift turns everyday settings—high schools, factories, truck stops—into realms of horror, where monsters, demons, and uncanny dread lurk in the night.

*All six senses tell him she’s the one.* Down-to-earth teacher Grace Fox doesn’t believe in anything that can’t be proven by science. So she has no trouble dismissing her best friend’s prediction that she’ll have swear-out-loud sex with the next guy to walk through the door at the school’s parents’ evening. Enter 34 year old Ash Rutherford, a famous doctor-turned-medium and Viking lookalike. He’s there to discuss his 14 year old troubled daughter, Jodie, but one mistaken flash of Grace’s sexy underwear sparks an instant attraction they both struggle to contain. Grace, 29, is happy to help tutor Jodie, but she does her best to resist Ash’s charms, while he’s equally reluctant to fall for another skeptic. When she attends one of his shows, Ash provides more than enough proof of his talents to convince her he’s not faking it. But can she bring herself to trust him? Warning: contains a real, live Viking, sex on a 1970s sheepskin rug, and a touch of the Twilight Zone.

An erotic romance that explores the intimate connections between men and women within elite corporate environments, blending desire with professional ambition, while navigating power dynamics, mutual longing, and career stakes.
