About the book
A New York Times and USA Today bestseller!
In this dark and sultry romantasy a mermaid battles hatred—and lust—for the wretched warlock who saved her life.
Mermaid Zephyra of the Syl dreams of freedom. On the run from a dangerous captor and years of abuse, she’s shed her tail, grown legs, and hidden herself on land in the merrow-loathing kingdom of Mortia, left to steal and barter on the dirty streets. But her freedom is short-lived when she’s caught and sentenced to death by the brutal warlock, Arion Stone.
Arion is as beautiful as he is cold and deadly, only interested in punishing the merrow he views as evil. He has grown as strong as any warlock might, but at great personal cost ... which can only be remedied by the heart of the God of Death, lost to a fabled kingdom beneath the ocean’s treacherous depths.
So Arion offers Zephyra a deal she can’t refuse; help him find the mystical heart, and he’ll spare her life. With no other options, Zephyra agrees, entangling their souls and forbidden desires in a magical bargain until death do they part. But Zephyra's past is catching up to her, and the enemy she fled seeks vengeance. If Zephyra and Arion can't learn to fight together—and trust each other—there are worse things awaiting them than just death. Of course, in the wicked sea, everyone has secrets, and no one should be trusted.

About the book
DESPERATELY SEEKING FICTIONAL HERO FOR HAPPILY EVER AFTER
Gracie Landing's life is a disaster, and for a romance novelist, that's saying something. Broke, blocked, and freshly single, she drunkenly emails her high school crush in a fit of despair…only to spark the best banter she's had in years.
As their flirty email friendship deepens, so does Gracie's inspiration, and soon, Colin Yarmouth—grown up, gorgeous, and carrying some scars of his own—is unknowingly helping her finish her next book. But when real feelings collide with fiction, Gracie must decide what she's willing to risk for the rewrite of her life.
A fast-paced romantic comedy filled with sharp humor, bookish charm, and a heroine you'll want to text after wine, this debut is for fans of messy leads, second chances, and laugh-out-loud love stories that write themselves.

Fae are alive.
In desperation, Delilah flees her home and crosses the border, in hopes that the Fae will save her people.
Yet she isn’t the only one who needs help.
Caught in a web of lies and riddles Delilah’s only chance at hope is Knox, one of the irritating, yet frustratingly charming Fae kings. Together they’ll need to unravel the many mysteries to bring freedom to both their oppressed people, or damn them all.

About the book
A heart-pounding, epic-stakes romantasy for fans of Callie Hart and Sarah J. Maas.
Magic is dying until a human girl accidentally resurrects a villainous Fae king, unlocking the key to saving her realm, but cursing another. With ruthless Fae, endless yearning, and devastating twists, you'll be wondering who is a villain until the very last page.
An instrument of chaos. Of fate...
Elorie has never known anything beyond the magic-void prison island of Alyssium. She tends to the dead who are sent to the shore for burning, while living among the humans who help guard the Fae prison.
Until one day, she rests her hands on a dead Fae prisoner's chest and accidentally wakes the most lethal warrior in the constellation of realms.
Fascinated by Elorie's unique ability to resurrect such power, the King summons her to the Ley Court. He declares her to be his chosen, promising a union that will restore magic to a dying land.
But the Fae she woke has other plans.
As the rightful heir to a rival crown, Wilder doesn't want to heal the kingdom that locked him in a cell for a century, he wants to destroy it. And to do so, he'll claim Elorie for himself.
Except magic can't be stolen, only offered. And in a war between crowns, Elorie is the only one who can choose how to bind her untamed power.
If only the same rules applied to her heart.

About the book
The New York Times and USA Today Bestseller!
She might be deadly, but she is not their weapon. This “sweeping romantasy” (Sable Sorensen, New York Times bestselling author of Dire Bound) is brimming with romance, deadly stakes, and unforgettable magic. “Not to be missed!” (Gretchen Powell Fox, author of Smoke and Scar) Includes two bonus scenes!
Survivor. Rebel. Weapon.
Leina has spent a lifetime submitting, starving amid wheat fields reserved for the king, standing by while his men crush her loved ones. When soldiers come for her brother, her divine fury erupts in a bloody massacre.
She expects to be executed for her crimes—her people have met bloody ends for far, far less. Instead, Ryot, a gods-blessed warrior born to privilege, delivers her to a military fortress renowned for its brutality.
There, a gift from a goddess drags Leina into a realm of war, where her survival depends on her ability to ride a winged horse.
As Ryot pushes her to master the power she never asked for, a battle rages within her heart. Each lesson, every touch, binds them tighter—but love is a dangerous weakness in a world designed for war.
Soon, Leina must decide how much she’s willing to sacrifice to protect the family she has found…and the one she left behind. Because while her divine gift could save the kingdom, it could also shatter its very foundation.
With immersive lush writing, an unflinching heroine, and an inventive fantasy world, Kissed by the Gods is the gripping fantasy debut you won’t want to miss.

About the book
If The Hunger Games, Fourth Wing, and Quicksilver had a dangerously romantic book baby, this is it.
I infiltrated a rival fae court to hunt my enemy. I didn’t mean to stab their golden-eyed king.
Disguised as a recruit, I cross into the wasteland swamp, searching for the rebels who murdered my sister. But instead of a crumbling outpost, I find a glittering court cloaked in illusion, where brutal trials bind warriors to magical beasts. Unfortunately, the first person my dagger sinks into is their infuriatingly gorgeous king. Instead of seeking revenge, Trewyn smirks, as if getting stabbed was just flirting. When he assumes I’m here to enter the Rite of Bonds, I let him believe it.
If I fail the bonding trials, I’ll be exiled before I uncover the truth. If I succeed, I risk becoming what my kingdom fears most, an untamed magic-wielder dangerously loyal to the wrong side. My court raised me to see the rebels as traitors. Now, I worry I’ll willingly bleed for them…especially for him.
King Trewyn goads me, but my body doesn’t care that he’s forbidden. He watches me like he knows what I’m hiding. Like he’s daring me to break. Like he’s already decided I’m his, and he’s just waiting for me to admit it.
But with a darker enemy rising, one that drains magic and leaves only husks behind, I’ll have to choose: avenge my sister or trust the king who’s become my greatest temptation.
Vengeance is a mask. And mine is about to shatter.
Of Fates & Ruin is Book 1 of the Kingdom of Shattered Vows duology. Perfect for fans of hidden identity heroines who don’t take sh*t from anyone, slow-burn enemies-to-lovers with a side of emotional torment, brutal magical trials, court intrigue, beast bonding, found family, and slow-burn spice. This romantasy will sink its claws into your heart, and it won’t let go.
Trigger Warnings: blood, gore, injuries, violence, death, grief, killing attacking creatures and people, on-the-page heat when they finally spice.

About the book
What is inevitable?
Emmeline DeLeoste has always talked to the stars. As a member of a fortune-telling warrior clan, her exceptional magic allows her to read the Fates, earning her a prestigious Academy job. But it has also cost her everyone she loves.
Roremar Silventa has more responsibilities than any man should. Combined with his Reckless reputation haunting his every step, it’s left him burdened in more ways than one.
When women start disappearing from the drug-infested Isle of Lyra, Emmeline and Roremar are tasked with finding the culprit due to their unique skillsets. In return, each is offered the one thing they can’t refuse. There’s only one problem: the pair couldn’t be more different.
Amid mounting threats from the Fates, and with a murderer creeping closer, Emmeline and Roremar strike up an alliance only to realize that, despite their differences, or perhaps because of them, they may understand each other in a way no one else can.
Can they unveil fated pasts and catch a killer before they lose their lives–or their hearts?
Everyone on Lyra has a secret, and some things may be inevitable after all.
House of Earth and Blood meets Heavenly Bodies, Scars Beneath a Serpent’s Scales is the first book in an Adult Romantic Fantasy series full of celestial magic, murder mystery, and sizzling, star crossed love. It is recommended for fans of Chloe C. Peñaranda, Sarah A. Parker, and Kayla Edwards.

About the book
Beauty and the Beast meets Rapunzel in this spicy, enemies-to-lovers fantasy where the romance is sharp, the tension & yearning are feral, and the betrayal unforgettable.
For years, Princess Ana has been a prisoner—kept alive by forbidden potions, hidden away while the kingdom of Trova rots under the rule of those who locked her away.
She was never meant to survive.
Yet she endured. Held on.
She will not give up on Trova.
Not even in the dark of her cage.
Then came the day it was breached—by a fae prince with eyes like fire.
He was a spark in the void: sharp, intoxicating, impossible to resist.
And then he left her for dead.
But death never came.
Escape did.
Now, as kingdoms clash and ancient forces stir, Ana is thrust into a world of ruthless courts, seductive bargains, and the dangerously magnetic prince who abandoned her once before.
He is temptation wrapped in thorns. The enemy she burns to hate. The desire she cannot silence.
But when fate throws them together once more, Ana must choose: claim the vengeance she’s waited for… or risk everything on a man who might ruin her again.

About the book
High school rule number one: don’t get in a fake relationship with your brother’s best friend, even if he is the allstar quarterback.
Sixteen-year-old Chloe Miller loves drama—the kind that involves a stage and a spotlight, that is. She was born to be in front of an audience. But she doesn’t love the drama her exboyfriend causes when he tries to win her back after cheating on her. To make sure he gets the message that she’ll never have anything to do with him again, she very publicly announces that she has a new boyfriend.
A better boyfriend.
The problem?
That new and improved boyfriend doesn’t actually exist.
Luckily for her, her brother’s scorching hot best friend is willing to be her fake boyfriend for a few weeks to help her avoid public humiliation. In exchange, she’ll give him one-on-one acting lessons to prepare him for the school play. Sure, she’ll have to kiss him, but those rehearsal kisses don’t mean anything, right?
But, as Homecoming draws near, Chloe’s vindictive ex becomes increasingly determined to expose Chloe’s fake relationship to the entire high school. And as she spends more time with her brother’s best friend… she starts to wonder – just how much of this relationship is an act, anyway?
A Fake Boyfriend for Homecoming is a sweet young adult romance that features lots of banter, a gorgeous brother's best friend, and swoon-worthy dates!

About the book
Longlisted for the 2025 PEN/Hemingway Award for Debut Novel and Named to Kirkus Reviews’ Best Books of 2024
“Head Fake is about how laughter can save us." —Chris Rock, comedian, actor
"An absorbing, uplifting tale of finding light and self-worth in adversity’s darkest depths.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
Mikey makes everything a joke, even the clinical depression he’s struggled with for years. After a run of failed jobs, he becomes the unlikely basketball coach at a high school for high-risk offenders who are experiencing mental illness. The position becomes suddenly available after the team tried to strangle their last coach.
Every instinct tells Mikey to get as far away from this school as possible. Coaching these kids, who have been arrested for who-knows-what, would be difficult for a normie. For Mikey, it could cause another breakdown and force him right back to living on the street. But he knows that if he has any chance to make his twenty-sixth birthday, he needs to keep this job, even if the school board wants him fired, and the students would rather fight each other than play ball.
This poignant, hilarious, and sometimes uncomfortable novel proves that even the most damaged of us can emerge victorious.
