Model Home
Horror · Mystery · Thriller
Our take
Model Home opens with a house that never felt safe, even when it promised belonging. After their parents die under suspicious circumstances, the Maxwell siblings return to the Texas enclave where they were the only Black family and where unexplainable horrors once took root. As past and present collide, this literary haunted-house novel confronts grief, racism, and the lingering question of whether the true evil was ever supernatural.

About the book
LOCUS AWARD FINALIST
Welcome to Rivers Solomon’s dark and wondrous Model Home, a new kind of haunted-house novel.
The three Maxwell siblings keep their distance from the lily-white gated enclave outside Dallas where they grew up. When their family moved there, they were the only Black family in the neighborhood. The neighbors acted nice enough, but right away bad things, scary things—the strange and the unexplainable—began to happen in their house. Maybe it was some cosmic trial, a demonic rite of passage into the upper-middle class. Whatever it was, the Maxwells, steered by their formidable mother, stayed put, unwilling to abandon their home, terrors and trauma be damned.
As adults, the siblings could finally get away from the horrors of home, leaving their parents all alone in the house. But when news of their parents' death arrives, Ezri is forced to return to Texas with their sisters, Eve and Emanuelle, to reckon with their family’s past and present, and to find out what happened while they were away. It was not a “natural” death for their parents . . . but was it supernatural?
Rivers Solomon turns the haunted-house story on its head, unearthing the dark legacies of segregation and racism in the suburban American South. Unbridled, raw, and daring, Model Home is the story of secret histories uncovered, and of a queer family battling for their right to live, grieve, and heal amid the terrors of contemporary American life.

About the book
The only way an alpha billionaire can hold on to the perfect woman is to keep his identity a secret in an emotional and blisteringly hot romance by USA Today bestselling author Marni Mann.
Maya and Jordan can’t keep their eyes off one another. They see each other on their daily runs, exchanging heated glances and lingering smiles as part of their routine. What’s not to notice? Maya with her perfect body and teasing smile. Jordan, a former professional hockey player, with his chiseled muscles and undeniable alpha personality. First comes the hello, then a kiss, followed by an uninhibited desire that sets their mornings on fire.
Jordan normally doesn’t date, but this Boston nurse is a beauty he wants to know inside and out. She’s gorgeous, sassy, and keeps him on his toes. He’s falling fast. She is too. There’s just one problem: Maya loathes the rich. She has her reasons. She also has no idea that Jordan is actually a billionaire CEO who owns the most expensive penthouse in the city, a collection of exotic cars, and half of Boston.
The only way for this grumpy alphahole to hold on to Maya is to keep his secret hidden. Because once the truth is out, everything about this addictive, sensuous, once-in-a-lifetime connection will come crashing down.

About the book
Armed with comfy pants, overpriced coffee, and a highly anxious emotional-support corgi, I prepare to face him.
Corporate boss.
Villain.
I step into his office. His perfect mouth twists into a sneer.
There is no heart of gold beneath that suit, just a big black pit. He’s a shark in the frothy waters of high-stakes finance.
He might be the quintessential asshole CEO, causing all in his path to quake in fear, but he’s never had to face down a Basic Beyotch in her thirties.
I am exactly like the other girls—I adore Starbucks, greige home decor, and making snarky jokes with my bestie. I’ve even inherited a stalker from an ill-advised singles party.
Yeah, the stalker is… a problem, one I’m hoping will just go away if I ignore it.
I can’t ignore him, though.
He’s all broad shoulders and snide comments, picking apart everything about me as he circles me, going for the kill.
He would never fire me, though. There’s no fun in that. He wants me to quit, to have a mental breakdown.
Well, he can get in line behind my crazy gold-digging sister, my guilt-tripping mother, and the aforementioned stalker.
He pins me with his gaze.
I brace myself, waiting for the verbal blow to come…
Instead, he says, “I need a date tonight, and unfortunately, it has to be you.”
This is a full-length, enemies-to-lovers romantic comedy, complete with smokin’ hot-but-morally gray heroes, a smidge of suspense, and of course the perfect happily ever after!

A disastrous first night leaves a lasting mark, reshaping one woman’s love life for more than a decade.
The Ex Effect
Romance · Erotica · RomCom
Our take
A disastrous first night leaves a lasting mark, reshaping one woman’s love life for more than a decade. In The Ex Effect, cinematographer Ash reconnects with desire through flirtatious exchanges with a charismatic location agent, only to confront the unresolved fallout of her teenage heartbreak. As old wounds and new chemistry collide, she must decide whether the past defines her future.
Choose your retailer
About the book
They had a night to remember. For all the wrong reasons.
Thirteen years ago, Ash was planning the night of her life with her high-school boyfriend, Logan. They were madly in love, wild about each other, and had been waiting patiently for this moment. It was going to be perfect.
That is, until it went down in very unsexy flames. Logan disappeared and Ash was left, quite frankly - and very inconveniently - sexually cursed.
After years of disastrous dating and even more disastrous sex, cinematographer Ash has almost given up. But some seriously flirtatious emails with location agent Maximillian Adam, to set up a scouting trip, offer her hope. Because if rumor is to be believed, Maximillian Adam might just be God's sexual gift to women.
Is Max going to be the one to finally break the curse? And, even better, break it over and over again?
Or when Ash and Max finally come face to face, will they both get so much more than they bargained for?

About the book
From New York Times bestselling author Meghan Quinn comes a sizzling sports romance full of flamingo feathers, slow-burn heat, and one grump-meets-sunshine love story that's anything but fake.
They're faking it for the cameras. But what if the sparks are real?
Graydon St. John doesn't do drama―or public appearances. The brooding defensive end for the San Francisco Foghorns prefers silence, solitude, and avoiding headlines. But when a league-wide PR scandal forces him into a media stunt at the city zoo, he's suddenly face-to-face with squawking birds, nosy fans, and the zookeeper who seems to hate his guts on sight.
Maple Baker loves her flamingos. Loud, pink, messy? Sure. But they're hers. And the last thing she needs is a grumpy football player stomping into her sanctuary with a bad attitude and a bigger ego. Unfortunately, they've been paired for the zoo's new public outreach program, and the cameras are already rolling.
The banter is sharp. The tension is electric. And the more they pretend to play nice for the press, the more their fake flirtation starts to feel like something dangerously real.
But when family secrets, viral fame, and a PR romance gone off-script threaten everything Maple's worked for, Graydon must decide if he's willing to fight for love―or let it slip away to protect her.

Two best friends + one fake relationship = big trouble

We pose for photos. Write a fake history. But when we kiss?

About the book
"An impressive blend of history, folklore, and imagination." -Ron Rash, New York Times bestselling author
An outsider to the Carolina hills inherits a gift that could change everything for her village on the verge of dying, from the author NPR said "writes with a deep knowledge of the enduring myths of Appalachia...vividly portraying real people and sorrows."
Welcome to Baines Creek, a humble hamlet hidden deep in Appalachia, where the last one-room schoolhouse in North Carolina is on the brink of closing. It's summer 1980, and teacher Kate Shaw has lived in Baines Creek for ten years. A skeptic at heart, she rejects mountain superstition and Appalachian folklore, much to the disappointment of Birdie Rocas, a powerful and reclusive witch with a trove of secrets. Yet, as Kate prepares to leave, a sudden death, a shocking request, and a legacy that spans centuries throw her into a world that overwhelms her.
Enter Lydia Brown, a psychic with a curious birthmark whose visions stopped when she needed them most. Grief-stricken without her gift, and desperate for spiritual guidance, she travels to Baines Creek in search of Birdie and the answers she might provide. The third novel by acclaimed author Leah Weiss, The Creek, The Crone, and the Crow is the tale of a powerful crone, two women cut from the cloth of loss, and a secret sisterhood of empowerment that may be the key to healing them all.

Choose your retailer
About the book
The critically acclaimed, internationally bestselling Tom Marlowe series returns!
They tried to bury the past. Now the past is burying them.
Tom Marlowe's partner Trix Preston hasn't mentioned Operation CASTLE ROCK in five years. She doesn't need to – it was pre-MI5 hacking work, corporate espionage to pay off a debt, nothing worth remembering.
Until three GCHQ analysts connected to CASTLE ROCK turn up dead across Europe, one every seventy-two hours.
Someone is eliminating everyone who knew about the operation – a five-year-old MI5 project buried in Edinburgh's financial district where British Intelligence's black budget meets corporate fraud.
Trix's name is on the list.
The assassin is already in Scotland.
And with the pattern holding, she has three days before the killer comes for her, and the only person who knows why someone inside MI5 would want CASTLE ROCK erased is a ghost from Trix's past who shouldn't still be breathing.
Now Marlowe must protect his partner while hunting for files that prove who sold out CASTLE ROCK five years ago. But in Edinburgh's shadows, the deeper he digs, the more he realizes the woman who taught Trix to survive might be the same one trying to get her killed.
Some secrets stay buried in ledgers. Others stay buried in bodies.
And in Edinburgh, they're burning both.
The eleventh book in the critically acclaimed, internationally bestselling series of Tom Marlowe thrillers, written by New York Times #1 Bestseller Tony Lee writing as Jack Gatland, Burning Ledgers is perfect for fans of the Bourne movies, Burn Notice, Mission Impossible, Slow Horses, Jack Ryan, James Patterson, Mark Dawson, Lee Child, Mick Herron and Robert Ludlum, among others.

Betrayed by her own family, she wakes up married to a man who rules Philadelphia’s underworld with ruthless precision.
Twisted Vows
Romance · Gothic Romance
Our take
Betrayed by her own family, she wakes up married to a man who rules Philadelphia’s underworld with ruthless precision. In Twisted Vows, an arranged marriage binds a fiercely independent woman to mafia boss Silvo De Luca, turning a night of reckless desire into a high-stakes alliance between crime families. A dark mafia romance driven by power struggles, possessive tension, and a heroine determined to claim her place.
Choose your retailer
About the book
Traded like a poker chip by my own brother. One minute I'm living it up in LA, the next I’m shipped across the country and married to Silvo De Luca—the most dangerous and infuriatingly handsome mafia boss in Philadelphia.
Okay, so maybe I slept with him before I knew who he was. And maybe the sex was mind-blowing. But that doesn’t mean I’m thrilled about being forced into this marriage.
Silvo is arrogant, possessive, with a jealous streak as wide as the Mississippi. He’s also irresistibly sexy with those piercing blue eyes and tattoos that make me weak in the knees. When he touches me, I forget every reason to hate him.
But this isn’t a fairy tale. It’s a game of power between crime families, and I refuse to be just a pawn. If Silvo thinks I’ll be a docile mafia wife arranging flowers, he’s in for a rude awakening. I might be trapped in this marriage, but I’m nobody’s doormat.
With heated arguments that turn into steamy nights, dangerous family rivals, and secrets that could get us both killed, our twisted vows are becoming something neither of us expected.
They say keep your friends close and your enemies closer. But what happens when you can’t tell if your husband is one or the other?
Twisted Vows is a dark arranged marriage mafia romance and the first book in the Beautiful Gods Series. This dark mafia romance explores themes that may be disturbing to some readers. However, there is no cliffhanger, and the happily-ever-after ending means this book can be read as a standalone.

Our take
Buried secrets resurface when human remains are uncovered at luxury beach huts on Mudeford Spit, tying the present to crimes long thought forgotten. In The Beach Hut Murders, DCI Lesley Clarke and her divided teams confront a thirty-year-old killing linked to an organised crime family and Lesley’s own wife. A layered British police procedural where professional duty and personal loyalty collide.
Choose your retailer
About the book
DCI Lesley Clarke's two teams are in flux. The Major Crime Investigations Team has a new DI, and the Cold Cases team has a member back from parental leave. And Lesley herself is itching to get stuck into a case, instead of sitting behind a desk.
When a body is found at the luxury beach huts on Mudeford Spit, the Cold Cases team know it's one of theirs, as the remains have been buried for over thirty years. But then evidence is found connecting a member of the Kelvin organised crime family, as well as Lesley's lawyer wife Elsa.
Are Elsa’s ties to her former clients about to be revived? And will the new DI, with her experience of financial forensics, be able to solve the murder of local taxi driver Mark Ashforth and identify just which criminal gang are responsible? Most importantly, will Lesley find an opportunity to get her hands (and those walking boots) dirty?
The Beach Hut Murders introduces a much-loved character from Rachel McLean's 'Deadly' and Cumbria Crime series to the Dorset team, and continues the investigation into the notorious Kelvins and their police associates, both past and present.

Transformative and breathtakingly honest, The American Queen is based on actual events that occurred between 1865 - 1889 and shares the unsung history of a Black woman who built a kingdom in Appalachia as a refuge for the courageous people who dared to dream of a different way of life.
Over the twenty-four years she was enslaved on the Montgomery Plantation, Louella learned to feel one thing: hate. Hate for the man who sold her mother. Hate for the overseer who left her daddy to hang from a noose. Hate so powerful there's no room in her heart for love, not even for the honorable Reverend William, whom she likes and respects enough to marry.
But when William finally listens to Louella's pleas and leads the formerly enslaved people off the plantation, Louella begins to replace her hate with hope. Hope that they will find a place where they can live free from fear. Hope that despite her many unanswered prayers, she can learn to trust for new miracles.
Soon, William and Louella become the appointed king and queen of their self-proclaimed Kingdom of the Happy Land. And though they are still surrounded by opposition, they continue to share a message of joy and goodness--and fight for the freedom and dignity of all.
The American Queen weaves together themes of love, hate, hope, trust, and resilience in the face of great turmoil. With every turn of the page, you will be transported to a pivotal period in American history, where oppressed people become extraordinary heroes.
