About the book
IVAN
I’ve spent seven years searching for the boy who taught me how to survive. Jay and I were foster brothers in the same house, hiding from an abusive alcoholic who made fear a daily rule. He taught me when to stay silent, when to disappear, when to run. At night, we hid in the barn and memorized facts about each other—names, birthdays, scars—because we knew we could be separated at any moment. We made a vow that no matter where they sent us, no matter how long it took, we would find each other again.
When I finally find Jay years later, he isn’t the boy I knew. He’s broken in ways that don’t heal cleanly, carrying what was done to him like it’s carved into his bones. But I made him a promise, and I intend to keep it. I didn’t survive all those years to lose him again.
JAY
I learned young that nothing stays, not homes and not safety. The only thing that ever felt solid was a boy who survived with me until they ripped us apart.
After that, I learned how to numb my pain. I told myself the boy I remembered was gone forever, because believing anything else hurt too much. Then he’s back in my life, and I want things I don’t deserve. I want him in ways I’m terrified to ask for.
Letting him close means letting him see the parts of me I keep buried, the damage I pretend doesn’t exist. If he really sees me, he’ll leave. And I don’t know if I’d survive losing him twice.
Remember My Name is a deeply emotional gay M/M hurt/comfort romance about found family, healing from trauma, recovery, and lasting love.

About the book
The winter solstice. The darkest day, the longest night.
Every year the solstice heralds the return of the masquerade ball. Fae and human dance and drink and make merry, so long as they remain masked. But there's a darker side to this night. Should a guest lose their mask, their life is forfeit, cursed to dance forever for the entertainment of the masquerade's cold and cruel fae host.
Ever since he was a boy, Brice LeChoix's mother had warned him of the terrible fae. But it wasn't the fae who took his parents from him. Madness did that. Years later, now Lord of the crumbling LeChoix estate and buckled by debt, he has more important things to think about than fairytales.
Until the masquerade comes to town. Every year on the solstice it appears, and every year the townsfolk frolic with the fae. Some never return.
Brice warned his brother not to go. And when the masquerade vanishes like mist at dawn, it takes Charon with it.
Now Brice must return to the masquerade, the very place he vowed never to set foot in again. The fae know his desires, they know his weaknesses. Forbidden lust will lure Brice from his world, into theirs. To save his brother, he must survive the masquerade's beautiful lies and avoid the host's wicked ways.
But the fae have other ideas. One in particular has his eye on Brice... The trickster, Raoul, will stop at nothing to seduce Brice because he knows, more than anyone, that the masquerade is a trap from which no soul truly ever escapes.
The longest night is upon us. Can you hear their call? Take my hand, come with me, to the masquerade ball...

About the book
"What a pretty flower to keep locked in a big, rocky tower."
Nineteen years ago, I was plucked from the heart of a bloody massacre that spared nobody else.
Small. Fragile.
An enigma.
Now ward to a powerful High Master who knows too much and says too little, I lead a simple life, never straying from the confines of an imaginary line I've drawn around the castle grounds.
Stay within. Never leave.
Out there, the monsters lurk. Inside, I'm safe ... though at a cost far greater than the blood I drip into a goblet daily.
Toxic, unreciprocated love for a man who's utterly unavailable.
My savior. My protector.
My almost executioner.
I can't help but be enamored with the arcane man who holds the power to pull my roots from the ground.
When voracious beasts spill across the land and threaten to fray the fabric of my tailored existence, the petals of reality will peel back to reveal an ugly truth. But in a castle puddled with secrets, none are greater than the one I've kept from myself.
No tower is tall enough to protect me from the horror that tore my life to shreds.
To Bleed a Crystal Bloom is a dark Rapunzel reimagining full of immersive imagery and breathtaking angst. A unique new fantasy series perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas and Jennifer L. Armentrout, guaranteed to grip you from the very first page.

Our take
A kidnapped child forces a grieving mother out of hiding and back toward the man who once broke her heart.

This romantic fantasy blends second-chance tension, maternal devotion, prophecy, and kingdom-level stakes.
Choose your retailer
About the book
A mother will do anything to save her child, no matter the cost.
After her daughter is kidnapped, Emmeline Highclere—a thirty-four-year-old mother living in isolation with memories and grief her only companion—must do everything in her limited power and divine abilities to get the girl back.
Emmeline believes her daughter, Elora, is the Beloved—the conduit with goddess-granted divine abilities prophesied to bring peace to the Three Kingdoms. Because the last person thought to be the Beloved was brutally murdered by the enemy kingdom of Folterra, Emmeline has dedicated the last sixteen years to hiding her daughter and keeping her safe. When Elora is kidnapped by a Folterran prince, Emmeline must leave her place of hiding, resolving to do anything to rescue her daughter. But to have any chance against those who took the girl, Emmeline must call upon one of the most powerful conduits in the Three Kingdoms, the Crown Prince of Vesta—the man who broke her heart—and hope he helps her despite their estrangement.
With the weight of his father’s impending death hanging over his head, Crown Prince Rainier has begun to make moves to prove his dedication to assume the role of king. When he is visiting the estate that was once a second home to him, the woman who has long haunted his dreams and consumed his thoughts appears before him, asking for his help to find the child she had with another man. Now, he must decide: does he drop what he is doing to help Emmeline, or does he maintain his unwavering duty to the Crown?
Now, Emmeline and Rainier must work together to find the Beloved—to save the girl from the Folterrans and fulfill the prophecy of peace—while they both battle feelings of remorse, grief, and heartbreak, trying to ignore the heated desire and simmering attraction between them that never left.

About the book
A tormented dragon prince.
A captured elven assassin.
Duty demands they fight for their people but love has other plans.
Eroan, one of the last elven assassins, lives for one purpose: kill the dragon queen.
He would have succeeded if not for her last line of defense: Prince Lysander. Now, captured and forced into the queen’s bed, Eroan sees another opportunity. Why kill just the queen when he can kill them all? It would be simple, if not for the troubled and alluring dragon prince. A warrior, a killer, and something else… something Eroan finds himself inexplicably drawn to.
Trapped in a life he despises, Lysander knows his time is running out.
If the queen doesn’t kill him for his failures, her enemies will. There’s nothing left to live for, until an elf assassin almost kills him. A stubborn, prideful, fool of an elf who doesn’t know when to quit. An elf who sparks a violent, forbidden desire in Lysander. If Lysander can’t save himself, maybe he can save the elf and maybe, just maybe… one stubborn elf will be enough to bring down the queen before her reign brings death to them all.
This series is a dark lgbtq+ fantasy intended for mature readers. While Silk & Steel is a love story, it is not for everyone. Silk & Steel features a gay dragon shifter, a bisexual elf, and adult themes. There is triggering content that some readers may find distressing.

A notorious murder trial becomes a mirror for a nation eager to decide what kind of woman could be guilty of violence.
The Trial of Lizzie Borden
Biographies & Memoirs · True Crime
Our take
A notorious murder trial becomes a mirror for a nation eager to decide what kind of woman could be guilty of violence. In The Trial of Lizzie Borden, Cara Robertson revisits the 1892 Fall River murders through court transcripts, newspaper coverage, letters, and legal records, making this true crime account a layered study of evidence, public judgment, gender, class, and American mythmaking.
Choose your retailer
About the book
WINNER OF THE NEW ENGLAND SOCIETY BOOK AWARD
In Cara Robertson’s “enthralling” book, The Trial of Lizzie Borden, “the reader is to serve as judge and jury” (The New York Times). Based on twenty years of research and recently unearthed evidence, this true crime narrative of the Lizzie Borden murder trial and legal history is the “definitive account to date of one of America’s most notorious and enduring murder mysteries” (Publishers Weekly, starred review).
When Andrew and Abby Borden were brutally hacked to death in Fall River, Massachusetts, in August 1892, the arrest of the couple’s younger daughter Lizzie turned the case into international news and her murder trial into a spectacle unparalleled in American history. Reporters flocked to the scene. Well-known columnists took up conspicuous seats in the courtroom. The defendant was relentlessly scrutinized for signs of guilt or innocence. Everyone—rich and poor, suffragists and social conservatives, legal scholars, and laypeople—had an opinion about Lizzie Borden’s guilt or innocence. Was she a cold-blooded murderess or an unjustly persecuted lady? Did she or didn’t she?
An essential piece of American mythology, the popular fascination with the Borden murders has endured for more than one hundred years. Told and retold in every conceivable genre, the murders have secured a place in the American pantheon of mythic horror. In contrast, “Cara Robertson presents the story with the thoroughness one expects from an attorney…Fans of crime novels will love it” (Kirkus Reviews). Based on transcripts of the Borden legal proceedings, contemporary newspaper accounts, unpublished local accounts, and recently unearthed letters from Lizzie herself, The Trial of Lizzie Borden is “a fast-paced, page-turning read” (Booklist, starred review) that offers a window into Gilded Age America. This “remarkable” (Bustle) book “should be at the top of your reading list” (PopSugar).

About the book
She thinks he’s an arrogant jerk.
All Jasmine Chamberlain wants is to make her family proud. She owes them everything and intends to pay them back by being the best student, cheerleader, and chess player the university has ever seen.
Unfortunately for her, on her first day of chess club, she gets paired with an arrogant, flirty, hotshot quarterback with an affinity for pushing her buttons. Even worse? He’s better than her at chess.
He thinks she’s gorgeous.
Shepherd Kingsley is on a mission to escape his brother’s shadow. At every press conference and on every sports network, Shepherd is being compared to his undefeated brother. Determined to be known for his name and not his brother’s, he decides to beat every record Jason set.
It’s all going according to plan until Jasmine shows up on campus. Shepherd is drawn to her fire immediately, but dating cheerleaders is forbidden, and he can’t risk being benched.

About the book
***A STANDALONE SERIES IN THE #1 BESTSELLING BODY COUNT WORLD***
I never planned to chain a gangster to my bed, but now, I’m not letting him go.
I was raised in boardrooms, not back alleys.
But when my grandfather died and our company fell into chaos, I uncovered something far worse than bad accounting: a connection to the city’s darkest underworld.
I needed answers. I needed help.
So I made a deal with a devil in a skeleton mask. One with a body made for sin and a past that might destroy us both.
Convict is brutal, broken, beautiful, and claims he knows me, even if he’s a stranger. Amnesia stole his memories, yet the way he touches me, looks at me, and possesses me, tells a different story.
Now I’m in too deep, with the man, with his skeleton crew, and with the secrets someone is killing to protect.
And the only way out is to bring it all crashing down.
Convict’s Game is the first book in a high-heat, dark romance, murder mystery trilogy with a skeleton-masked crew, an obsessive-sweet gangster, the smart cookie he’s insta-obsessed with, and a city where the shadows hide more than just sin.
This series picks up where the #1 bestselling Body Count series left off.
Tropes & Themes:
- Corporate Princess x Street King
- A deal with a delicious devil
- Dangerous games (the chasing kind plus more)
- Cute AF gangster hero with amnesia
- Obsessive love, rough play, and handcuff action
- Found family, secrets, and a deadly inheritance
- A murder mystery to solve (with clues)

About the book
A queen with forbidden magic.
A man sent to claim her.
A desire that could burn kingdoms.
Raven has ruled for fifteen years with one rule above all: never let anyone see what she truly is.
Because if they do, she won’t just lose her crown... she’ll start a war.
But secrets don’t stay buried.
When whispers of her power begin spreading across the realm, Raven’s carefully controlled world starts to crack.
And then he arrives.
Zeke is dangerous in every way—quiet, commanding, and far too skilled at unraveling her control. One touch turns into something reckless and addictive. And Raven, who has always chosen power over weakness, finds herself craving a man she knows nothing about.
What she doesn’t know?
He was sent for her.
To get close. To earn her trust. To deliver her to those who fear her.
But the closer he gets, the harder it becomes to remember his mission, and the easier it is to lose himself in her fire.
With kingdoms watching, enemies circling, and her power threatening to consume her, Raven must decide.
Will she protect her throne...
or risk everything for the one man who could destroy her?

About the book
We still worship the sleeping fae, though their magic only remains within a few of us.

But a potential escape lies in the form of her gruff yet achingly handsome guard, whose loyalty she is determined to break.
A huntsman with heightened senses, Basten “Wolf” Bowborn has more important things to do than transport his master’s new bride. With ancient creatures reawakening along the kingdom's border wall, he is torn between his duty and his desire to investigate—until a forbidden attraction becomes an unyielding obsession.
Welcome to Astagnon—a kingdom of cruel games and corrupted courts, where the only thing more dangerous than the secrets slumbering underground is falling for the one person you can’t have.
