A warm fit for readers who like cozy fantasy, magical creatures, sapphic romance, workplace settings, and rivals growing closer.
The Phoenix Keeper
LGBTQIA+ · Romantasy · Cozy Fantasy
Our take
An instant Sunday Times bestseller, The Phoenix Keeper follows socially anxious zookeeper Aila as she tries to save an endangered phoenix species and reluctantly turns to her glamorous college rival Luciana for help, with a 3.8-star average from more than 11,500 Goodreads ratings. A warm fit for readers who like cozy fantasy, magical creatures, sapphic romance, workplace settings, and rivals growing closer.
Choose your retailer
About the book
Set in a magical zoo teeming with mythical beasts from dragons and unicorns to kelpies and krakens, The Phoenix Keeper is a fierce joy of a cozy fantasy novel with a soul-restoring queer romance at its heart, for fans ofThe House in the Cerulean Sea and Legends and Lattes.
Aila has spent her entire life dreaming of saving phoenixes.
She pulled countless all-nighters at uni just to sneak a toe in the door of the breathtakingly competitive field of conservation, stumbling through failed romance and disastrous class presentations thanks to social anxiety, while also surviving a ferocious class rivalry with the (unbearably beautiful) insufferably hotshot Luciana.
Somehow, she actually did it: landed her dream job as head phoenix keeper at the world-renowned zoo that inspired her as a child, tasked with rescuing the critically endangered Silimalo phoenix from the brink of extinction.
There are just two or three (thousand) impossible problems.
- She can't act sensibly around the charming dragon keeper, Connor.
- Her plans to revive the phoenix programme are more precarious than ever, after a poacher attack at a neighbouring zoo.
- Her best chance at success means teaming up with the star of the zoo, the universally adored griffin keeper, the hotshot showmaster of the most popular exhibit . . .
Yes, of course it's Luciana.

A staged romance meant to repair a public image begins to feel dangerously real.
Boyfriend Material
Romance · LGBTQIA+ · Gay Romance · RomCom
Our take
A staged romance meant to repair a public image begins to feel dangerously real. Luc O'Donnell, tabloid fixture and perpetual mess, agrees to fake a relationship with the impeccably proper Oliver Blackwood to quiet the press. As photo ops turn into late-night honesty, this queer romantic comedy explores vulnerability, self-worth, and the slow realization that love might not be an act.
Choose your retailer
About the book
A feel-good queer romantic comedy that New York Times and USA Today bestselling author CHRISTINA LAUREN calls "hilarious, witty, tender, and stunning."
Luc needs a fake boyfriend. Oliver needs a date. It's the perfect plan… until real feelings get involved.
Luc O'Donnell is a certified disaster. Tabloid drama, a wayward rock-star dad, and a trail of messy relationships have left his public image in ruins. The fix? A staged romance with the most respectable man he knows: Oliver Blackwood—uptight, principled, and infuriatingly perfect.
It's supposed to be fake. Neither of them expects the awkward photo ops and staged brunches to turn into something that feels real. But as the lines blur, and secrets slip through carefully built walls, Luc must face the question he's always avoided: what if someone could love him—exactly as he is?
You'll love its brilliantly British rom-com voice, full of sharp humor and emotional vulnerability and authentic LGBTQIA+ representation. It's perfect for fans of Red, White & Royal Blue and The Charm Offensive, with its grumpy/sunshine dynamics and slow-burn chemistry.
"It's a fun, frothy quintessentially British romcom about a certified chaos demon and a stern brunch daddy with a heart of gold faking a relationship."—New York Times bestselling author Talia Hibbert

About the book
GMA BUZZ PICK • INTERNATIONAL BEST SELLER AND AWARD WINNER • A haunting, virtuosic debut novel about two young men who fall in love during World War I • “Will live in your mind long after you’ve closed the final pages.” —Maggie O’Farrell, best-selling author of Hamnet and The Marriage Portrait
A Best Book of the Year: The New Yorker, The Washington Post, NPR
“In Memoriam is the story of a great tragedy, but it is also a moving portrait of young love.”—The New York Times
It’s 1914, and World War I is ceaselessly churning through thousands of young men on both sides of the fight. The violence of the front feels far away to Henry Gaunt, Sidney Ellwood and the rest of their classmates, safely ensconced in their idyllic boarding school in the English countryside. News of the heroic deaths of their friends only makes the war more exciting.
Gaunt, half German, is busy fighting his own private battle--an all-consuming infatuation with his best friend, the glamorous, charming Ellwood--without a clue that Ellwood is pining for him in return. When Gaunt's family asks him to enlist to forestall the anti-German sentiment they face, Gaunt does so immediately, relieved to escape his overwhelming feelings for Ellwood. To Gaunt's horror, Ellwood rushes to join him at the front, and the rest of their classmates soon follow. Now death surrounds them in all its grim reality, often inches away, and no one knows who will be next.
An epic tale of both the devastating tragedies of war and the forbidden romance that blooms in its grip, In Memoriam is a breathtaking debut.

About the book
That’s the thing about hearts—
Like waves, they break too.
Grief.
I’ve never battled with the raw, debilitating pain that comes with it.
Then a twist of fate hits me out of nowhere, and I can barely keep from drowning.
It’s like weights tied to my ankles in the middle of a raging ocean.
I’m helpless, with no way to swim back to the surface.
But fate is crueler still, bringing my stepbrother back for the first time in years.
Cannon never wanted this family. Especially me.
Still, he’s always been my greatest desire. And my biggest weakness.
He’s unattainable.
Straight, engaged, and with a seemingly perfect life on the other side of the country.
It’s something I’d do well to remember, yet when he stays, it’s so easy to forget.
In finding solace together, we mend what once was broken.
This loss bonds us. Changes us.
He’s become more than a brother or a lover.
He’s my anchor.
So how am I supposed to keep my head above water when I’ll eventually lose him too?
*Head Above Water is a STANDALONE full length MM enemies-to-lovers stepbrother romance novel.*
