About the book
Lambda Literary Award winner and national bestselling author Alexandria Bellefleur returns with a steamy Sapphic rom-com about two rival publicists who are forced to work together when their mega-famous clients—a popstar and a quarterback—begin to date.
Poppy Peterson’s life is finally back on track and she’s thriving as the publicist of the NFL’s most promising quarterback (and her childhood best friend), Cash Curran. So, she doesn’t appreciate when he makes an impulsive and public pass at America’s popstar darling, Lyric Adair. When Lyric’s notorious publicist Rosaline Sinclair reaches out, Poppy is ready to face her wrath, but instead learns that Lyric is equally interested.
As Cash and Lyric embark on their ill-advised whirlwind romance, Poppy and Rosaline are forced together, each determined to protect their own client from the other. Poppy is frustrated by Rosaline’s cool demeanor, while at the same time, as a legend in the industry, she’s determined to impress her. But, no matter what she does, she can’t shake the feeling that Rosaline doesn’t like her.
That is until one steamy night, when the two women contend with their unexpected feelings and begin a messy romance of their own. But with paparazzi, tabloids, and stalker fans nipping at their heels, Poppy and Rosaline’s loyalties will be tested in ways they could never expect.
A high energy, Sapphic, and deeply sexy romance, Playing for Keeps has everything readers expect from Alexandria Bellefleur and more!

About the book
As a monster smut romance author, my life is writing about creatures that only exist in my imagination ravaging humans and making them fall in love with them. It's a fantasy of mine to be ravaged by a monster, but they're not real. My collection of...erm, toys is as close as I'll get to being with a real live monster.
That is, until I cross a barrier I had no idea exited and landed in a world that shouldn't be. There, I meet the most handsome orc I've ever laid eyes on.
Orcs exist! And one of them wants to claim me as his.
Claimed by the Orc Emperor is book one in a multi-author series, Orc Mate Selection. While it can be read as a standalone, this series has an overarching plot, so they are best read in order.

For decades, the Newmans played America’s perfect TV family.
Meet the Newmans
Literary Fiction · LGBTQIA+
Our take
For decades, the Newmans played America’s perfect TV family. In 1964, the illusion begins to unravel. As secrets surface and roles shift, Dinah Newman fights to reclaim her voice and reshape her family’s legacy. Meet the Newmans is a heartfelt, incisive novel about image, truth, and the lives we live behind the scenes.
Choose your retailer
About the book
From #1 New York Times bestselling author Jennifer Niven, a novel about America’s favorite TV family, whose perfect façade cracks, for fans of Lessons in Chemistry and The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo.
“I loved Meet the Newmans!” —Judy Blume, #1 New York Times bestselling author
"Warm, witty, and wise." —Cynthia D'Aprix Sweeney, New York Times bestselling author
For two decades, Del and Dinah Newman and their sons, Guy and Shep, have ruled television as America’s Favorite Family. Millions of viewers tune in every week to watch them play flawless, black-and-white versions of themselves. But now it’s 1964, and the Newmans’ idealized apple-pie perfection suddenly feels woefully out of touch. Ratings are in free fall, as are the Newmans themselves. Del is keeping an explosive secret from his wife, and Dinah is slowly going numb—literally. Steady, stable Guy is hiding the truth about his love life, and the charmed luck of rock ‘n roll idol Shep may have finally run out.
When Del—the creative motor behind the show—is in a mysterious car accident, Dinah decides to take matters into her own hands. She hires Juliet Dunne, an outspoken, impassioned young reporter, to help her write the final episode. But Dinah and Juliet have wildly different perspectives about what it means to be a woman, and a family, in 1964. Can the Newmans hold it together to change television history? Or will they be canceled before they ever have the chance?
Funny, big-hearted, and deeply moving, Meet the Newmans is a rich family story about the dual lives we lead. Because even when our lives aren’t televised weekly, we all have a behind-the-scenes.

Darcy’s life once felt perfectly balanced until grief shattered it.
Is This a Cry for Help?
Literary Fiction · LGBTQIA+
Our take
Darcy’s life once felt perfectly balanced until grief shattered it. After a mental breakdown, she returns to her library job just as book bans and protests erupt in her community. As she heals, Darcy learns to reclaim her voice, her agency, and her sense of self. Is This a Cry for Help? is a compassionate novel about loss, identity, and resilience.
Choose your retailer
About the book
Emily Austin, the bestselling “queen of darkly quirky, endearingly flawed heroines” (Sarah Haywood, author of The Cactus), returns with a luminous new novel following a librarian who comes back to work after a mental breakdown only to confront book-banning crusaders in an empowering story of grief, love, and the power of libraries.
Darcy’s life turned out better than she could have ever imagined. She is a librarian at the local branch, while her wife Joy runs a book binding service. Between the two of them, there is no more room on their shelves with their ample book collections, various knickknacks and bobbles, and dried bouquets. Rounding out their ideal life is two cats and a sun-soaked house by the lake.
But when Darcy receives the news that her ex-boyfriend, Ben, has passed away, she spirals into a pit of guilt and regret, resulting in a mental breakdown and medical leave from the library. When she returns to work, she is met by unrest in her community and protests surrounding intellectual freedom, resulting in a call for book bans and a second look at the branch’s upcoming DEI programs.
Through the support of her community, colleagues, and the personal growth that results from examining her previous relationships, Darcy comes into her own agency and the truest version of herself. Is This a Cry for Help? not only offers a moving portrait of queer life after coming of age but also powerfully explores questions about sexuality, community, and the importance of libraries.

A Spindle Splintered
Romantasy · LGBTQIA+ · Teen + Young Adult
Our take
A Spindle Splintered follows Zinnia Gray, who knows her twenty-first birthday will be her last. When a Sleeping Beauty–themed celebration ends with a prick of a spindle, Zinnia tumbles through worlds and meets another cursed princess fighting the same fate.

Choose your retailer
About the book
USA Today bestselling author Alix E. Harrow's A Spindle Splintered brings her patented charm to a new version of a classic story. Featuring Arthur Rackham's original illustrations for The Sleeping Beauty, fractured and reimagined.
“A vivid, subversive and feminist reimagining of Sleeping Beauty, where implacable destiny is no match for courage, sisterhood, stubbornness and a good working knowledge of fairy tales.” —Katherine Arden
It's Zinnia Gray's twenty-first birthday, which is extra-special because it's the last birthday she'll ever have. When she was young, an industrial accident left Zinnia with a rare condition. Not much is known about her illness, just that no-one has lived past twenty-one.
Her best friend Charm is intent on making Zinnia's last birthday special with a full sleeping beauty experience, complete with a tower and a spinning wheel. But when Zinnia pricks her finger, something strange and unexpected happens, and she finds herself falling through worlds, with another sleeping beauty, just as desperate to escape her fate.

Best Man follows control-loving agency boss Zeb Evans, whose orderly life unravels when he asks his chaotic employee Jesse Reed to fake being his boyfriend at a wedding.
Best Man
LGBTQIA+ · Romance · Gay Romance
Our take
Best Man follows control-loving agency boss Zeb Evans, whose orderly life unravels when he asks his chaotic employee Jesse Reed to fake being his boyfriend at a wedding. What starts as a convenient arrangement quickly challenges Zeb’s rules, defenses, and assumptions about love, age, and power. This warm, funny romance explores vulnerability, opposites, and the risk of letting go.
Choose your retailer
About the book
Zeb Evans doesn’t do messy.
The product of a disorganised and chaotic childhood, Zeb likes order and control, and as the boss of his own employment agency he can give that to himself. Life runs along strict lines and he never mixes business with pleasure. Everything in his life lives in neat, alphabetized boxes. Until Jesse.
Jesse Reed is Zeb’s complete opposite. He’s chaos personified. A whirling cyclone of disorder. He’s also charming and funny and a very unwanted distraction. Which is why it comes as a complete surprise to Zeb to find himself asking Jesse to pose as his boyfriend for a few days in the country at a wedding.
Zeb doesn’t do impulsive, but as the time away progresses, he finds himself increasingly drawn to the merry and irreverent Jesse. But can he bring himself to break the hard-won lessons he’s learnt in life? And even if he can, how could Jesse be attracted to him anyway? He’s so much older than Jesse, not to mention being his boss.
From the bestselling author of the Mixed Messages and Finding Home series comes a warm and funny romance about one man’s fight for control and another man’s determination to circumvent it.
This is the first book in the Close Proximity series, but it can be read as a standalone.

About the book
It's been almost a century since the veil fell and monsters invaded the world. We didn't give the humans an opportunity to retaliate as we charged in and took over, and I was at the head of the front lines with my sword in hand. A perfect soldier, fighting the battles that ultimately put my people in charge of this planet. Half of humanity was slaughtered, and in the decades since the invasion, things have only gotten worse. Tensions between the rebel humans and monsters grew as the climate changed, and temperatures rose as resources dwindled. The sun scorched away plants and trees, leaving behind a husk of a planet where everyone fights for survival.
The Fates were furious at our violence, and now we're trapped inside the hell we created.
We've all heard tale of the Mate's Mark, and how we're destined to find our fated mate. One human, one monster - foretold to be the cure to this cursed world and repair the damage that has been done. What was once the cause of curiosity and intrigue has turned into nothing more than a mockery. Decades have passed, and not a single pair of fated mates had been found.
Until now.
Until me.
Until the night I pull off my armor and find the mark staring back.

With monsters roaming and reality rewritten by game-like powers, John must battle his way back to civilization.

But surviving in this new reality won't be easy. John will have to get back to civilization through hordes of slavering monsters.

Unclaimed follows Frost, who flees heartbreak for a quiet cabin and stumbles into a hidden supernatural world.
Unclaimed
LGBTQIA+ · Gay Romance · Paranormal Romance
Our take
Unclaimed follows Frost, who flees heartbreak for a quiet cabin and stumbles into a hidden supernatural world. When Gemini, a snow leopard shifter, realizes Frost is his fated mate, starting over becomes far more complicated than planned. As danger and destiny collide, both must face what it means to belong to each other.
Choose your retailer
About the book
A terrible breakup sent Frost scrambling across the country for a new start. He never expected to find a whole new existence. One he didn’t believe was real.
After getting brutally dumped by his longtime boyfriend, Frost found himself nearly three thousand miles away from everything he had ever known. He isn’t afraid to start over, but he might be a tad terrified of the wildlife that suddenly plagues him. When he bought his cabin in the middle of nowhere, the realtor warned him he might see a few dangerous creatures. She didn’t warn him about Gemini.
From their first meeting, Gemini knows Frost is his fated mate. There’s just something about his scent. Unfortunately, Frost is human, and Goddess Celeste also obviously has a sense of humor, sending a snow leopard a mate named Frost. Gemini has no idea what he’s doing, but he’ll do it anyhow. Living without his mate isn’t an option he’s willing to choose.
Unclaimed is the first book in Charity Parkerson’s Devilish series. It is a spinoff of her Hellish series, where vampires, Weres, demons, gods, and all manner of the supernatural live together beneath the noses of humankind. These books are best when read in order.

A city on the edge of catastrophe becomes even more volatile when the one person who can protect it is forced into hiding.
Breath of Earth
Fantasy · LGBTQIA+ · Historical Fantasy · Steampunk
Our take
A city on the edge of catastrophe becomes even more volatile when the one person who can protect it is forced into hiding. In Breath of Earth, Ingrid Carmichael must outrun assassins, political unrest, and the threat of a devastating earthquake while reckoning with the true scale of her geomantic power. This steampunk historical fantasy blends elemental magic, alternate history, and mounting geopolitical tension with a sweeping, dangerous atmosphere.
Choose your retailer
About the book
After the earth’s power under her city is suddenly left unprotected, a young geomancer must rely on her unique magic to survive in this fresh fantasy standalone from the author of the acclaimed The Clockwork Dagger.
In an alternate 1906, the United States and Japan have forged a powerful confederation— the Unified Pacific—in an attempt to dominate the world. Their first target is a vulnerable China. In San Francisco, headstrong secretary Ingrid Carmichael is assisting a group of powerful geomancer wardens who have no idea of the depth of her own talent—or that she is the only woman to possess such skills.
When assassins kill the wardens, Ingrid and her mentor are protected by her incredible magic. But the pair is far from safe. Without its full force of guardian geomancers, the city is on the brink of a cataclysmic earthquake that will expose the earth’s power to masterminds determined to control the energy for their own dark ends. The danger escalates when Chinese refugees, preparing to fight the encroaching American and Japanese forces, fracture the uneasy alliance between the Pacific allies, transforming San Francisco into a veritable powder keg. And the slightest tremor will set it off. . . .
Forced on the run, Ingrid makes some shocking discoveries about herself. Her already considerable magic has grown even more fearsome . . . and she may be the fulcrum on which the balance of world power rests.

No Quick Fix
LGBTQIA+ · Romance · Gay Romance
Our take
No Quick Fix pairs a retired SEAL searching for purpose with a widowed father struggling to keep his family together. Hired as a protector and caregiver, Brann Calder becomes something far more essential to Emery Dodd and his daughters. As duty, desire, and responsibility collide, both men must confront what a real future might cost.
Choose your retailer
About the book
A retired SEAL is about to face his toughest assignment yet. As a nanny…
Fixer. Bodyguard. Advocate. Brann Calder is expected to play all these roles and more as a member of Torus Intercession, a security firm guaranteed to right what’s wrong. In the military, catastrophe was his specialty. Five months out of the service, Brann is still finding his way, so a new assignment might be just what he needs. Unless it includes two things sure to make a seasoned, battle-trained veteran nervous: life in a small town, and playing caregiver to two little girls.
Emery Dodd is drowning in the responsibility of single fatherhood. He’s picked up the pieces after losing his wife and is ready to move on now, hopeful that his engagement to a local patriarch’s daughter will not only enrich his community but will grant his daughters some stability too.
The only thing standing in Emery’s way is that he can’t seem to keep his eyes—and hands—off the former soldier he’s hired to watch his girls until the wedding.
Emery’s future is riding on his upcoming nuptials, but being with Brann makes him and his family feel whole again. Too bad there’s no way for them to be together.
