About the book
In an alternate twentieth century shaped by a decades-long war, Miriam survives by detaching from everyone and everything. When peace finally comes, The New Society mandates her way of life—no families, no attachments, no exceptions.
As a researcher, Miriam helps shape this unsettling new order. But what begins as scientific work becomes a tool of control, and the consequences are more devastating than she ever imagined. Haunted by guilt, she hatches a plan to dismantle the system she helped create, even if it costs her everything.
Told as a fictional autobiography, this chilling and intimate story questions memory, morality, and the lies we tell ourselves to survive.
Is Miriam’s confession a reckoning—or another layer of manipulation?

About the book
Robin Blyth already has too much on his plate. Baronetcy, bureaucracy, and grief are enough trouble without being accidentally assigned to liaise with a secret magical society.
Now he’s cursed, confused, and completely out of his depth. Worse, he’s stuck with Edwin Courcey—a brilliant but icy magician who would clearly prefer a different partner. But when Robin’s predecessor vanishes under suspicious circumstances, the two must work together to unravel a conspiracy threatening all of magical Britain.
As hidden histories surface and a powerful curse takes hold, Robin and Edwin find themselves tangled in a bond that neither expected.
In Edwardian England, magic is deadly, secrets are currency, and love might just be the most dangerous enchantment of all.

About the book
New York, 1925. The jazz is hot, the relics are cursed, and Rory Brodigan’s heart is in more danger than ever.
Since meeting Arthur Kenzie, Rory’s quiet life has turned into a whirlwind of magical artifacts, deadly secrets, and forbidden feelings. Arthur is brave, charming, and undeniably out of Rory’s league, or so Rory fears, especially with Arthur’s aristocratic ex suddenly stirring up old ghosts.
But when a ruthless paranormal faction threatens the city, Arthur and Rory’s fragile romance is put to the test. Their bond is powerful, but trust doesn’t come easy, especially when the past returns with claws.
As darkness rises, the stakes couldn’t be higher. If they can’t hold their ground together, they might lose more than their magic.
Can love survive when the supernatural won’t play fair?

About the book
The hero's "virtuous character provides some gentle pleasure" in this romantic suspense about a cop who falls for a male sex worker under his protection (Publishers Weekly).
Quick-witted hustler Ghost is no stranger to living dangerously; survival has always been the name of the game.
He's just always gone it alone.
Now he's got the wrong people breathing down his neck, and the only way out demands placing his trust in the unlikeliest of heroes: Duncan Rook, a gruff cop whose ethics are as solid as his body.
Cozying up to a criminal is hardly what Duncan's reputation on the force needs—especially when that criminal is temptation personified. Ghost is Duncan's polar opposite, and the last person he expected to fall for.
So then why does every imaginable scenario for taking down their common enemy end with Ghost in his arms?

About the book
An Instant USA Today Bestseller!
"Our favourite chaos demon & stern brunch daddy return in this delicious, ridiculous, and often poignant romcom about all the ways love can grow." —Talia Hibbert, New York Times and USA Today bestselling author
They fake-dated their way into love. Now it's time to face the one thing scarier than falling for someone—figuring out how to stay in love.
From Alexis Hall, the USA Today and Washington Post bestselling author of Boyfriend Material, comes a hilariously heartfelt sequel about love, identity, and the absolute madness of wedding season.
Husband Material reunites readers with Luc O'Donnell and Oliver Blackwood as they navigate the next chapter in their beautifully chaotic relationship. They're committed. They're happy. But when everyone around them starts tying the knot—often in extravagant, anxiety-inducing fashion—Luc begins to question whether "forever" needs a formal dress code.
This isn't a story about falling in love. It's about everything that comes after: the growing pains, the missteps, the tender, terrifying truth of building a life together in a world full of expectations.
You'll love its brilliantly British rom-com voice; full of sharp humor, emotional vulnerability, and authentic LGBTQIA+ representation. It's perfect for fans of Red, White & Royal Blue and The Charm Offensive.

As Brennan navigates vampire puberty, cryptic clan politics, and awkward first love, things get even messier. A student goes missing. Animal attacks hit too close to campus. And his new undead life might not be as “good” as advertised.
With his heart on the line and danger creeping in, Brennan must decide who he really wants to be—fangs, flaws, and all.

Eli Francis is stuck. Stuck in an assistant position at the online magazine Vent when he should be a writer. Stuck with a boss who dangles a promotion but would rather he just fetch the coffee. Stuck working alongside the ex who has had no trouble moving up at work…or moving on.
When Eli’s roommates push him to date so he can get over his ex once and for all, they set him up with Peter Park. Tall, handsome, and unbelievably awkward. The date is a complete disaster, and further proof to Eli that love isn’t for him. But when his boss overhears Eli recounting the catastrophic night, he suggests teaching Peter to be a better boyfriend through a series of simulated dates so he can write an article about it.
But Eli has other ideas…Eli plays along, pretending to write the article, while secretly interviewing Peter about growing up queer in the South and coming-of-age dating wise in adulthood. Eli hopes writing this sort of piece will finally get him the promotion he deserves. And in exchange, he will teach Peter how to be a better boyfriend.
But the more time Eli spends with Peter, the closer they become, and the lines between what’s real and what’s fake begin to blur. Before long Eli is forced to face his greatest fears to become the writer he wants to be and secure the love he’s always needed.

A rare bond becomes a threat when a young girl and her dragon are forced into a system built to erase everything they are.
To Shape a Dragon’s Breath
Fantasy · LGBTQIA+ · Teen + Young Adult · Historical Fantasy · Indigenous Fiction
Our take
A rare bond becomes a threat when a young girl and her dragon are forced into a system built to erase everything they are. In To Shape a Dragon’s Breath, Anequs must survive a colonial dragon school that treats her knowledge, culture, and future as problems to be corrected. This fantasy blends coming-of-age tension, dragon lore, and resistance into a story that feels both intimate and defiant.

About the book
NATIONAL BESTSELLER • WINNER OF THE ASTOUNDING, NEBULA, AND LODESTAR AWARDS • FINALIST FOR THE LOCUS AND BRITISH FANTASY NEWCOMER AWARDS • “My favorite book of the year . . . a coming-of-age story that is cozy and hair-raising in equal measure.”—Charlie Jane Anders, The Washington Post
“I tore through it, caught up in an enthusiasm for dragons that I hadn’t experienced since I was a teenager obsessed with Ursula Le Guin’s Earthsea and Anne McCaffrey’s Pern.”—NPR
A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR: The Washington Post, NPR, PopSugar, Chicago Public Library, Polygon, She Reads, Autostraddle
The remote island of Masquapaug has not seen a dragon in many generations—until fifteen-year-old Anequs finds a dragon’s egg and bonds with its hatchling. Her people are delighted, for all remember the tales of the days when dragons lived among them and danced away the storms of autumn, enabling the people to thrive. To them, Anequs is revered as Nampeshiweisit—a person in a unique relationship with a dragon.
Unfortunately for Anequs, the Anglish conquerors of her land have different opinions. They have a very specific idea of how a dragon should be raised, and who should be doing the raising—and Anequs does not meet any of their requirements. Only with great reluctance do they allow Anequs to enroll in a proper Anglish dragon school on the mainland. If she cannot succeed there, her dragon will be killed.
For a girl with no formal schooling, a non-Anglish upbringing, and a very different understanding of the history of her land, challenges abound—both socially and academically. But Anequs is smart, determined, and resolved to learn what she needs to help her dragon, even if it means teaching herself. The one thing she refuses to do, however, is become the meek Anglish miss that everyone expects.
Anequs and her dragon may be coming of age, but they’re also coming to power, and that brings an important realization: the world needs changing—and they might just be the ones to do it.

About the book
Six years ago, Niall Gilpatrick disappeared. The activist nearly died running from the same darkness he spent his career fighting. Now he lives quietly as a park ranger in the Shenandoah Mountains, where the only thing haunting him should be the fog.
Instead, it’s a demon.
Chance Curn isn’t just a dream. He’s real. Sent to tempt Niall into selling his soul, the ancient Irish demon expected fear or resistance, not longing. Not tenderness.
But feelings? Those were not part of the assignment.
As desire builds and an evil plot surfaces, both Niall and Chance are forced to choose between the roles they were given and the future they want.
Trust is risky. Love is worse. And something in the woods wants to silence them both for good.

About the book
David Mitchell's Cloud Atlas meets Octavia Butler's Earthseed series, as acclaimed author Monica Byrne (The Girl in the Road) crafts an unforgettable piece of speculative fiction about where humanity came from, where we are now, and where we're going—and how, in every age, the same forces that drive us apart also bind us together.
"A stone-cold masterpiece."—New Scientist
The Actual Star takes readers on a journey over two millennia and six continents—telling three powerful tales a thousand years apart, all of them converging in the same cave in the Belizean jungle.
Braided together are the stories of a pair of teenage twins who ascend the throne of a Maya kingdom; a young American woman on a trip of self-discovery in Belize; and two dangerous charismatics vying for the leadership of a new religion, racing toward a confrontation that will determine the fate of the few humans left on Earth after massive climate change.
In each era, a reincarnated trinity of souls navigates the entanglements of tradition and progress, sister and stranger, and love and hate—until all of their age-old questions about the nature of existence converge deep underground, where only in complete darkness can they truly see.

Reckless
LGBTQIA+ · Romance · Gay Romance
Our take
Released from prison with nowhere else to go, Tank rides toward the man who kept him alive through letters and hope. CJ never expected him to show up, but reckless promises demand answers. Desire, fear, and vulnerability collide in this emotional biker romance, rated 4.4 stars on Amazon and 4.0 stars on Goodreads.
Choose your retailer
About the book
Ride hard. Love harder. Live recklessly.
Tank is done with his old life. All it's brought him is trouble and misery in the form of a four-year prison term. Though he did find one good thing while behind bars: Charles "CJ" Crane, pen pal extraordinaire.
After months of exchanging increasingly personal letters, Tank knows exactly where he's headed as soon as the prison gates open. CJ doesn't know he's coming, and he's not sure what he'll say when he gets there, but he knows one thing for certain.
The promises he and his boy made to each other in their letters may have been reckless, but he's willing to risk everything he’s got on finding out if what they have could be real.
Reckless is the first book in the Leather & Chrome series and features a motorcycle club's annual charity ride, a possessive biker whose new favorite color is pink, a twenty-four-year-old overly eager to experience his first time, and an excessive appreciation for perfectly lined tattoos.
