About the book
Sometimes the price of destiny is higher than anyone imagined....
Dark Magic, Hidden Destiny
For three centuries a divine prophecy and a line of warrior queens protected Skala. But the people grew complacent and Erius, a usurper king, claimed his young half sister’s throne.
Now plague and drought stalk the land, war with Skala’s ancient rival Plenimar drains the country’s lifeblood, and to be born female into the royal line has become a death sentence as the king fights to ensure the succession of his only heir, a son. For King Erius the greatest threat comes from his own line — and from Illior’s faithful, who spread the Oracle’s words to a doubting populace.
As noblewomen young and old perish mysteriously, the king’s nephew — his sister’s only child — grows toward manhood. But unbeknownst to the king or the boy, strange, haunted Tobin is the princess’s daughter, given male form by a dark magic to protect her until she can claim her rightful destiny.
Only Tobin’s noble father, two wizards of Illior, and an outlawed forest witch know the truth. Only they can protect young Tobin from a king’s wrath, a mother’s madness, and the terrifying rage of her brother’s demon spirit, determined to avenge his brutal murder....

About the book
"Thoughtful, heartbreaking . . . King expertly explores the myriad routes to family, hope, and love in a repressive country." —Publishers Weekly
Under the One Child Policy, everyone plotted to have a son.
Now 40 million of them can't find wives.
China's One Child Policy and its cultural preference for male heirs have created a society overrun by unmarriageable men. An Excess Male is one such leftover man's quest for love and family under a State that seeks to glorify its past mistakes and impose order through authoritarian measures, reinvigorated Communist ideals, and social engineering.
Wei-guo holds fast to the belief that as long as he continues to improve himself, his chance at love will come. He finally saves up the dowry required to enter matchmaking talks at the lowest rung as a third husband—the maximum allowed by law. Only a single family shows interest, yet with May-ling and her two husbands, Wei-guo feels seen, heard, and connected like never before. But everyone and everything—walls, streetlights, garbage cans—are listening, and men, excess or not, are dispensable to the State. Wei-guo must test the limits of his love and his resolve in order to save himself and this family he has come to hold dear.
"King writes distinctive and sympathetic characters, and her vision of a not-so-far future is unnerving and thought-provoking." —The Washington Post
"Disturbing, funny, suspenseful and keenly observed." —San Francisco Chronicle
"The Handmaid's Tale of a new generation." —Peter Clines, author of Paradox Bound and The Fold
"Provocative . . . An intelligent, incisive commentary on how love survives—or doesn't—under the heel of the State." —Kirkus Reviews

Templar Vale has spent centuries hunting demons, monsters, and rogue mages.
Mortal Remains
LGBTQIA+ · Gay Romance
Our take
Templar Vale has spent centuries hunting demons, monsters, and rogue mages. Necromancer August is exactly the kind of man he shouldn’t trust, but a deadly investigation leaves them dependent on each other. As August’s magic takes its toll, Vale’s touch may be the only thing keeping him alive. Expect M/M enemies-to-lovers tension, forced proximity, hurt/comfort, and a hard-won happy ending.

About the book
Vale has hunted demons, monsters, and rogue mages for centuries as a Templar. So when rifts to the underworld tear through the city and the undead spill into the streets, he expects another power-hungry necromancer at the center of it all.
Instead, he finds August, a soft-hearted necromancer who uses his illegal magic to guide restless spirits to peace, even as it kills him from the inside. August is running on borrowed time, and he's spent weeks tracking the real necromancer who is raising armies of the dead.
Vale's touch shouldn't heal him. Templars and necromancers are natural enemies. But when Vale's hands meet August's skin, the black veins of corruption fade and the pain stops. For the first time in years, August can breathe.
Now they're partners in a hunt that neither of them can survive alone. But the closer they get to the truth, the more August needs his magic…and the more he needs Vale's touch to survive.
Mortal Remains is a m/m enemies-to-lovers urban fantasy romance between a Templar and a necromancer. It features a touch starved necromancer, a morally grey Templar, forced proximity, hurt/comfort, and a happy ending.
Mortal Remains is book one of the Haven Chronicles series and does not need to be read in order.

A NATIONAL BESTSELLER!
USA TODAY bestseller • Today Show Best Feel Good Read • Bookbub Best New Fiction • A Most Anticipated Book of 2026 by Zibby Media • US Weekly Best Romance • Featured on People.com, Newsweek.com and CBS-NY/Club Calvi Book Club
"By turns hilarious, tender, and devastating, Rouse’s novel explores what it means to be the sandwich generation of gays today — caught between those who paved the way for equality, those who are too young to credit them, and a world that seems increasingly hostile." —Jodi Picoult, #1 New York Times bestselling author
In this poignant and hilarious story inspired by TV’s beloved The Golden Girls, bestselling author Wade Rouse celebrates love, aging, finding your people, and the art of impeccably timed one-liners.
Theodore Copeland has created a fabulous life in the desert oasis of Palm Springs, where he shares a fabulous pink mid-century home with three fabulous friends: Barry, a former actor still clinging to his youth, his hair, and the memory of the dream role that killed his career; Ron, an uprooted Christian from the Midwest with a big heart but no one to give it to; Sid, who, after coming out late in life, has never found love. Teddy is the caustic, unspoken leader of “The Golden Gays”—the foursome’s monthly drag tribute to The Golden Girls. Despite their foibles and bickering, they have turned their golden years into a golden era.
But the harmony of their desert enclave becomes a carousel of emotional baggage when Teddy’s estranged sister, Trudy, shows up on their doorstep, her dramatic teenage granddaughter in tow. While Teddy tries to keep Trudy at arm’s length, she manages to wheedle her way into the lives of the Golden Gays, until the real reason for her visit is revealed and the secrets they’ve all been keeping from each other unravel faster than a hastily stitched hemline.
A novel that gives thanks to “old” friends, That's What Friends Are For proves that while family may be the tie that binds, it’s the chosen family that truly keeps us together.

He put me behind bars. Now I'm on my knees before him.

It's a death sentence.

About the book
The latest installment in Alex Bledsoe's critically-acclaimed Tufa series about musically-talented fae in rural Tennessee, a series Kirkus Reviews calls "powerful, character-driven drama...a sheer delight." (starred review)
"Beautifully written, surprisingly moving, and unexpected in the best of ways." —Seanan McGuire, New York Times bestselling author
When Matt Johansson, a young New York actor, auditions for "Chapel of Ease," an off-Broadway musical, he is instantly charmed by Ray Parrish, the show's writer and composer. They soon become friends; Matt learns that Ray's people call themselves the Tufa and that the musical is based on the history of his isolated home town. But there is one question in the show's script that Ray refuses to answer: what is buried in the ruins of the chapel of ease?
As opening night approaches, strange things begin to happen. A dreadlocked girl follows Ray and spies on him. At the press preview, a strange Tufa woman warns him to stop the show. Then, as the rave reviews arrive, Ray dies in his sleep.
Matt and the cast are distraught, but there's no question of shutting down: the run quickly sells out. They postpone opening night for a week and Matt volunteers to take Ray's ashes back to Needsville. He also hopes, while he's there, to find out more of the real story behind the play and discover the secret that Ray took to his grave.
Matt's journey into the haunting Appalachian mountains of Cloud County sets him on a dangerous path, where some secrets deserve to stay buried.

About the book
One year. His body. His blood. His surrender.
Investigative journalist Alex Carter has nothing left to lose—until he breaks into the wrong mansion and comes face to face with a centuries-old vampire with blood on his hands and murder in his eyes.
Lucien Beaumont should kill him. Instead, he makes an offer: one year as his companion—living in his penthouse, warming his bed, providing blood on demand—and the killing stops.
Alex accepts. He tells himself it's to save lives. That he's playing the hero.
He's lying.
Because with every feeding, every dark promise whispered against his skin, every moment of excruciating pleasure, Alex is falling for his beautiful captor. And Lucien—lonely, lethal, desperate for connection after centuries of isolation—is falling just as hard.
But their year is running out. And Lucien is offering something far more permanent than captivity.
He's offering forever.
A dark M/M vampire romance featuring captivity, dubious consent that becomes enthusiastic consent, blood play, possessive obsession, and a happily ever after that transcends mortality. For readers who like their vampires dangerous and their love stories intense.

Misha knows that chasing success in Hollywood can be hell.
But finally, after years of trying to make it, his big moment is here: an Oscar nomination.

About the book
Eighteen-year-old Stetson Delancey never thought breaking up with his boyfriend would turn him invisible.
In Penango County, Pennsylvania, high school couples carve their names into the legendary Ardor Tree, a rite of passage said to grant love that lasts. Stetson and his boyfriend were no exception. But a bitter breakup just before college splinters their future, and in a moment of anger, Stetson does the unthinkable: he hacks their names from the tree.
That's when everything in his rural hometown goes from boring to bizarre. Shadows flicker where they shouldn't. Strangers pass by like he's not even there. And some people stop seeing him altogether.
With just two months left in Penango and his college dream slipping away, Stetson races to uncover the tree's secrets before he vanishes for good. But when he meets a boy only he can see-a boy who may have secrets of his own-Stetson begins to wonder if breaking free from his hometown means letting go of everything or learning to hold on to what matters.
Within These County Lines is a queer coming-of-age novel about the unraveling of first love, hometown magic, and how sometimes we can't uncover the truth about others without confronting the truth about ourselves.

About the book
He’s not the hero they deserve, but he’s the hero they’ve got.
No, seriously. Talon wants to know what he did to deserve this. What would make a sentient rock decide that he of all people should be the one to save the world from zombies? That’s right. Zombies. Because apparently a higher power decided that teaching magic to teenagers wasn’t enough of a challenge.
With a ridiculously attractive healer (who may or may not hate him), his sister (who he miiiight have a forbidden telepathic link with), a sentient god-like rock (that can only communicate via yes/no vibes), a disdainful dragon, and a rude matchmaking horse by his side, he just might be able to save the world.
Or die trying.
Meet Talon Silverbright. He'll save the world, but only because a rock said he has to.

Perfectly Imperfect Pixie

Our take
Phil is a home-and-hearth pixie who wants a family to bond to, and Sedrick is a werewolf suddenly raising two traumatized children while fighting a dangerous custody battle, with a 4.6-star rating from more than 3,800 Amazon reviewers. Good for readers who want cozy paranormal MM romance with found family, werewolf-pixie romance, fairy lawyers, garden gnomes, and a guaranteed HEA.
Choose your retailer
About the book
Size matters. Pixies are supposed to be petite, beautifully lithe creatures with gossamer wings. Sporting luscious, ombre pink hair and fluttering pink wings, Phil meets two out of three of those criteria. At over six feet tall, no one would dare call Phil petite. As a home-and-hearth pixie, Phil yearns to find a home and family he can bond to. When no one’s willing to hire a pixie of his stature, Phil is forced to find work elsewhere. Turns out, pixies make terrible bouncers.
The sudden death of Sedrick’s brother and sister-in-law left Sedrick Voss a pack of one—plus two young, traumatized were children. Sedrick needs help. He needs a home-and-hearth pixie. But pixies are small, delicate creatures nowhere near sturdy enough to stand up to a couple of growing werewolves. Phil seems like the perfect answer—a pixie that might be able to physically withstand small werewolf teeth and claws.
Phil is overjoyed, finally able to do a job that speaks to his heart and soul. But peace is a hard-won commodity. Sedrick is in the middle of a nasty custody battle with his niece and nephew’s maternal grandfather—one of the most arrogantly deceitful werewolf alphas to ever lead a pack. If their grandfather gets custody, Sedrick’s niece and nephew are in for a lifetime of manipulation.
Between the custody battle, noxiously invasive garden gnomes, and fairy lawyers, Phil and Sedrick struggle to keep their home and family safe. Werewolves and pixies don’t mate. Phil and Sedrick are about to challenge that misconception.
Perfectly Imperfect Pixie is a m/m standalone title with a HEA, a rough but kind werewolf, fairy lawyers, vampire bar owners, dwarf miners, questionably intelligent humans, pesky garden gnomes, and charming pixies.
