About the book
She finally transformed. Now she has to choose—between the sea that made her, and the boy who doesn’t know what she is.
Seventeen-year-old Targa MacAuley has always felt like a failure. While other sirens completed their transformations as children, she remained just human enough to pass, and just magical enough to feel like something's missing.
When she joins a salvage dive in the Baltic for the summer with her famous mother, the sea begins to stir something long dormant in her blood. The wreck is ancient. The danger is real. And Antoni, a handsome local on the dive team, is impossible to ignore.
But when her long-delayed mermaid transformation finally arrives, with it comes an impossible choice: return to the sea and the life her mother expects, or stay on land and risk revealing what she truly is.
He doesn't know her secret.
And she doesn't know if she can bear to leave him behind.
Born of Water is an award-winning, slow-burn, romantic YA fantasy full of ocean magic, family secrets, and the ache of first love tangled with destiny.
Over 100,000 copies sold. Translated into five languages. Loved by young adult fantasy fans worldwide.

2025 EDGAR NOMINEE FOR THE LILIAN JACKSON BRAUN MEMORIAL AWARD!
Everyone in My Family Has Killed Someone meets The Goonies in The Treasure Hunters Club—a rollicking murder mystery set in a seaside town filled with pirate lore, family secrets, unforgiveable grudges, secret societies, and of course, a treasure lost to time.
WELCOME TO MAPLE BAY, NOVA SCOTIA
For nearly a century, people have ventured to the idyllic seaside town of Maple Bay in search of a legendary lost pirate treasure, but locals know there’s more than just gold buried in the sand. As the paths of three strangers converge in Maple Bay, the truth is about to be blown wide open. But not before the bodies start to pile up.
Peter Barnett is rapidly approaching 40 with little to show for it when a mysterious letter invites him to Maple Bay and the mansion his estranged family has called home for generations.
Seventeen-year-old Dandy Feltzen is isolated and adrift following the death of her beloved grandfather, until his final request and a tantalizing clue sets her on a mission to solve the mystery he spent his entire life chasing.
Cass Jones has given up on her dream of being a successful author when an unexpected opportunity lands in her lap: a housesitting gig in remote Maple Bay, where she stumbles on the perfect subject matter for her breakout book—and the handsome sailor who might be just the person to help her research it.
Peter, Dandy and Cass have never met, but they’re on a collision course with each other and the mystery that has defined Maple Bay for two centuries, and none of them are prepared for the shocking truths that may or may not still be buried there.

Caitlyn Can’t Die
Dystopian · Sci-Fi
Our take
In Caitlyn Can’t Die, a Halloween disaster destroys the world and leaves Caitlyn wishing she had not survived.

With 4.3 Amazon stars and strong Goodreads ratings, this survival romance strikes an emotional chord.
Choose your retailer
About the book
Since when did surviving the apocalypse become a good thing?
Caitlyn was doing okay before the end of the world. She had a decent job, dated around, and there was nothing a glass (bottle) of wine couldn't fix. When a Halloween haunted house proves to have real-life monsters turning everyone into creatures with black goo for blood, she manages to survive a few months on pure luck. The thing is... she doesn't want to anymore.
Riley doesn't leave people behind. It's not in his nature to give up, so when he finds a woman bleeding out in the woods, he stops to help. It's only when she wakes up the next day, furious that she isn't dead, that he realizes she didn't want to be saved. The duo are complete opposites who can't stop arguing with one another about how to survive, or if they even want to anymore.
It's not just the lack of heat, clean water, and tampons. This new world is horrible for those left alive. People have become more dangerous than the beasts they are running from. Who would want to live like this? But day after day, and despite all odds, Caitlyn and Riley keep going. They start to wonder if the lack of every modern convenience combined with the threat of impending doom isn't all that bad. They have each other, and maybe, that's enough.

About the book
Seriously funny contemporary urban fantasy fiction.
Luck. If only you could bottle it...
Matt Danmor’s brush with death uncovers a fantastical truth, plunging him into a world of intrigue and chaos.
With his ex, Silvy, back at his side and Kylah from The Dept. of Fimmigration ever watchful, he stumbles into a plot to undermine civilisation across several worlds. Matt is faced with a simple choice. Believe that everything he sees is a figment of his traumatised imagination, or accept that it is all terrifyingly real.
In which case, he’s got a hell of a lot of catching up to do. Plus a whole hive of demonic zealots to fight.
The multiverse is holding on for a hero.
Trouble is, Matt never got the memo…
Fiends In High Places is the debut Fantasy Crime Thriller in the Hipposync Archives series.

About the book
How to destroy your life:
- Leave Ireland in the dead of night to flee to London;
- Get yourself dragged into an alley by a demon, marked, and doomed to die;
- Gain a mysterious, fatally attractive stalker/saviour. One with strangely sharp teeth…
Flynn
I never asked for this.
Okay, maybe a little. After all, the demon was undeniably hot–the perfect way to mend my broken heart.
But I certainly didn’t sign up to become his prey–because now my chest burns with ice as dark magic grows inside me… and he’ll be back to collect it.
Thankfully, I have a saviour. Tall, dark and handsome, though his vintage dress sense is slightly pretentious and his aversion to sunlight is a bit strange…
But if he keeps looking at me like I'm something worth devouring, I might just let him.
What's one more bad decision?
Sebastián
Five centuries has taught me three rules: stay detached, stay focused, and never, never feel too much.
I built Killigrew Street to control London's supernatural underbelly. We keep order in the shadows, we maintain the balance, and we absolutely do not rescue pretty Irish boys and lock them up in our hotel.
Except, apparently, we do now.
He's marked. He's stubborn. He has an infuriating habit of throwing himself headfirst into danger with zero self-preservation. And he’s my problem to solve.
When my protective instincts quickly twist into feelings, I know I should walk away.
But my cold, dead heart seems to have other ideas.
For how long can I keep my true vampiric nature from him?
In the meantime, at least watching him try to figure out why everyone keeps making bat jokes in front of me is… admittedly entertaining.
Bite Marks and Broken Hearts is an adult MM PNR romance. It contains one touch-starved, emotionally guarded vampire, the golden retriever human who’s determined to break down his walls, a found family like no other, snarky wolves, sizzling scenes, some serious fang action, and a HEA.
The Killigrew Street Case Files is a series of standalone paranormal romances where family is forged in the shadows. Each story features a different couple and mystery, connected by their growing supernatural team and overarching plot threads.

Our take
In The Roommate Situation, Abby flees to Atlanta after losing her job, her apartment, and her boyfriend, only to discover her brother’s house already occupied by Conor Brady, a dangerously charming house flipper. Their undeniable chemistry complicates her plan to start fresh. With 4.2 Amazon stars and over 17,000 Goodreads ratings, this closed door romcom delights.
Choose your retailer
About the book
Conor Brady is the hottest man I have ever laid eyes on. Ever. He’s also my new roommate.
In the past few days, I became jobless, homeless, and boyfriendless.
So, I did what any 28-year-old woman with her life together would do: I ran. Far, far away from my life in New York and straight to my big brother’s house in Atlanta.
Only, it turns out that my brother is away on a business trip. And, he failed to tell me that a full-on, godlike hottie—who happens to be a premier house flipper—has taken up residence in the spare bedroom while his enormous new house is being renovated.
There’s a million reasons why I shouldn’t fall for Conor.
But our chemistry is undeniable.
Which means I have a teeny, tiny situation on my hands…
The Roommate Situation is a laugh-out-loud funny, swoony, closed door romantic comedy. Expect some mild language and suggestive jokes alongside sizzling hot chemistry and tension you could cut with a knife—all without the explicit scenes.

"Empty your mind; be formless, shapeless like water."
Bruce Lee is a cultural icon, renowned the world over for his martial arts and film legacy. But Lee was also a deeply philosophical thinker, learning at an early age that martial arts are more than just an exercise in physical discipline—they are an apt metaphor for living a fully realized life.

Muyang is brutal, untouchable, and utterly captivating.
And he is unraveling everything Daiyu thought she knew about power and love.

Now she must save herself—from the court, from the emperor, and most of all... from her own heart.
In a world where love is weakness, falling for the enemy could be her ruin.

Our take
A family secret buried by history resurfaces when grief demands attention.

As stories of loss, survival, and love unfold across generations, the journey becomes one of healing, cultural memory, and reclaiming identity through family bonds and food.
Choose your retailer
About the book
In Taiwan, the bond between grandmother and granddaughter opens up a healing world for them both in an inspiring family saga about the comfort of food, untold histories, and indomitable mother love.
Chef Liv Kuo’s star is on the rise…until a traumatic incident leaves her emotionally unable to venture outside her Manhattan apartment. But an unexpected reason to break free comes from Ah-Ma, Liv’s beloved grandmother in Taiwan. Ah-Ma needs Liv’s help in finding her fourth daughter, taken from her when the girl was an infant. After all these years, it seems impossible. It’s also a mystery: Ah-Ma’s fourth daughter is an aunt Liv never even knew existed.
After landing in Taiwan, Liv hears the heartbreaking story of her grandmother’s plight in a country once under martial law, of choices made for her, and of the hopeful search for a lost girl that has endured for more than sixty years. Like the enriching food and traditions that bind Liv and Ah-Ma, their journey for answers brings them together.
And it’s a quest that turns up both a precious old cookbook and a tale of fatal betrayal that shakes everything Liv believed about her family—revelations that could also give her the courage to face the trauma she left behind.

About the book
WINNER OF THE LOCUS AWARD • The bestselling author of the Mars trilogy boldly reimagines the past seven hundred years in this “exceptional and engrossing” (New York Post) saga, constructing a world vastly different from the one we know. . .
“A thoughtful, magisterial alternate history from one of science fiction’s most important writers.”—The New York Times Book Review
It is the fourteenth century and one of the most apocalyptic events in human history is set to occur—the coming of the Black Death. History teaches us that a third of Europe’s population was destroyed. But what if the plague had killed 99 percent of the population instead? How would the world have changed? The Years of Rice and Salt is a look at the history that could have been—one that stretches across centuries, sees dynasties and nations rise and crumble, and spans horrible famine and magnificent innovation.
Through the eyes of soldiers and kings, explorers and philosophers, inventors and exiles, renowned storyteller Kim Stanley Robinson navigates a world where Buddhism and Islam are the most influential and practiced religions, while Christianity is a mere historical footnote. Probing the most profound questions as only he can, Robinson shines his extraordinary light on the place of religion, culture, power—and even love—in this bold new world.
