Remy has one mission: outshine her twin. Between the tattoo shop, her drum kit, and her talent for trouble, she’s determined to prove she’s the hotter sibling. Fauna, on the other hand, is all pink outfits, snacks, kittens, and RPG mastery. They shouldn’t make sense. But in the chaos of flirtation, banter, and rivalry, sparks fly.
Neither expected their game to get this serious. Remy’s cocky charm collides with Fauna’s playful sweetness, and the result is messy, magnetic, and undeniably hot. From trash talk to tattoos, every round draws them closer to a prize neither of them saw coming.
Kat Blackthorne’s sWitch is a sapphic rom-com full of spice, humor, and heart—proof that sometimes love is the ultimate level-up.

About the book
SHORTLISTED FOR BEST HORROR NOVEL BY THE BRITISH FANTASY AWARDS
For readers of Nightbitch and We Ride Upon Sticks, an "exciting new hybrid horror-romance" about queer love in a small town that serves as an unsettling reminder that the horrors of modern life is a monster ready to possess us all (New York Times Book Review).
Angelina Sicco was born and raised in Cadenze, an ugly little mountain town that's dead most of the year. Determined to be content with her lot in life, she walks her mongrel dog, attends her brother's heavy metal concerts, holds court in the local dive bar, and does everything she can to bait hot, queer women to her sleepy, conservative hometown. But on the night of a family party, Angelina runs into the sternly handsome Jagvi, who's back in town for a spell.
Upon Jagvi's arrival, an ancient evil is awakened, and a monstrous force infiltrates Angelina's life. Only Jagvi’s touch repels it — the final trigger for a secret, passionate romance. But this monster feasts on all the passion, heartbreak and mess that makes up a life, and Angelina Sicco’s life has never looked tastier. What will Angelina do to protect her future? And what will it cost her?

Drawn to write her own account, Sarah begins to feel her health, sanity, and sense of reality unravel. What revelation waits at the roots of the red tree—and will she survive it?

About the book
"Everyone makes their Barbies scissor, it doesn't mean you're gay." -Cameron Miller, Puppy Love
"Puppy Love", a sapphic romantic comedy, is the first book in a diverse, interconnected standalone series, "Greenrock Valley". Written with dogs, spice, and everything nice, this debut novel is sure to make you laugh and sweat, all while tugging on your heartstrings.
Cameron Miller hates change. It makes her sweaty, tongue-tied, or worse- silent. Her anxiety doesn't help, leaving her expecting disaster around every corner. And finding out that her almost one-night stand is her new boss only confirms her fears.
Violet Wolfe isn't looking for love. In fact, due to her impending divorce, she plans to stay far, far away from it. Luckily, love, and a close encounter in a bar bathroom, don't bear many similarities. But when the woman from last night turns up as her work's newbie, Violet realizes she's accidentally violated her boss' #1 rule: No dating colleagues.
The chemistry between them is undeniable, sure, but it's just a physical attraction- or so they tell themselves. Yet as they start to consider breaking workplace policy, as well as the boundaries they've set for themselves, they start to wonder if it really is just "puppy love", or if something larger is pulling them together.

About the book
Robin Loxleigh and his sister Marianne are the hit of the Season, so attractive and delightful that nobody looks behind their pretty faces.
Until Robin sets his sights on Sir John Hartlebury's heiress niece. The notoriously graceless baronet isn't impressed by good looks or fooled by false charm. He's sure Robin is a liar, a fortune hunter, and a heartless, greedy fraud - and he'll protect his niece, whatever it takes.
Then, just when Hart thinks he has Robin at his mercy, things take a sharp left turn. And as the grumpy baronet and the glib fortune hunter start to understand each other, they also find themselves starting to care - more than either of them thought possible.
But Robin's cheated and lied and let people down for money. Can a professional rogue earn an honest happy ever after?

Our take
Francesca May’s Wild and Wicked Things is a gothic 1920s fantasy brimming with illicit magic, dangerous romance, and murder.

Choose your retailer
About the book
The 1920s glitter on Crow Island, but beneath the champagne and smoke, something darker stirs. Annie Mason arrives with practical intentions: settle her estranged father’s estate and perhaps mend her fractured bond with Beatrice, the best friend who left her behind. She has no interest in magic—not after it ruined her life.
But Crow Island thrives on temptation. And no temptation is greater than Emmeline Delacroix, Annie’s mysterious new neighbor, said to dabble in witchcraft and worse. Drawn into Emmeline’s glittering, dangerous world, Annie soon finds herself seduced by spells, secrets, and desires she never expected.
As whispers of murder spread, Annie must decide whether to embrace the wickedness she fears—or be consumed by it. On Crow Island, magic always demands a price.
