Synopsis 

Loyalties are tested in this enemies-to-lovers romantasy set in an alternate England following an assassin and a healer forced to work together to cure a fatal disease, all while resisting the urge to kill each other—or worse, fall in love.

When Osric Mordaunt, member of the Fyren Order of assassins, falls ill, he realises he needs the expertise of a very specific healer. As fate would have it, that healer belongs to an enemy faction, the Haelan Order.

Aurienne Fairhrim and her fellow Haelan are inundated by sick children suffering from an outbreak of a long-forgotten Pox. Unable to get the funding needed to launch an immunisation programme, the Haelan Order is desperate for money – so desperate that, when Osric breaks into their headquarters to bribe Aurienne to heal him, she is forced to accept.

As Osric and Aurienne work together to solve not only his illness but the mysterious reoccurrence of the Pox, they find themselves ardently denying an attraction which only fuels the tension between them.

Synopsis

Have you ever wished the hand that constantly wraps around your throat would squeeze just a little tighter, hold your head down in his lap a little longer so all the hurt, pain and torture would seep away just like your last breath? No? Just me? I think about it daily. I’m not suicidal, but it sounds better and better with each day that passes.

Depravity. Used. Unloved.

Those three words say it all. On the outside, I paint a picture of Happiness, Confidence and Strength. Inside I’m a fraud, but I have no choice. It's a double-edged sword that keeps slashing through the wounds I try so hard to heal.

Secrets. Blackmail. Murder.

It’s senior year, and even that comes with a price. I’m tired of living a lie, tired of being everyone else's puppet. I want out. I want out so badly that I’ll do anything to get out of this town, even if that means selling my soul to the five Cyprus Brothers of Daggerspoint.

Everything comes at a price.

How far are you willing to go to pay for your freedom?

Love and Other Conspiracies 

by Mallory Marlowe

Expected Pub Aug 20th 2024

(Goodreads)(Amazon) 

Synopsis

The hardest thing for a paranormal conspiracy theorist and a web series producer to believe in is finding love in this swoony debut romantic comedy.

 

Hallie Barrett's life has imploded after she's dumped by her hotshot ex, who also happens to be her coworker and the star of the online series she was producing. Without a new show to present for the company competition, she’ll be out of a job. But inspiration can come from the strangest places . . . like the most handsome guy she’s ever seen passionately discussing Bigfoot on a late-night docuseries.

 

Hayden Hargrove made a name for himself as a cryptid expert on his hit podcast, and is intrigued by the plucky, blue-haired producer who offers him the opportunity to lead his own web show. When the production team sees that Hayden’s solo on-screen presence is bad enough to make a ghost blanch, Hallie jumps on camera too, hitting him (and his cryptids) with a healthy dose of skepticism—and enough chemistry to electrify their show to the top of the competition.

 

As Hayden and Hallie investigate the unknown, they unearth feelings for each other that shake their beliefs to the core. In their search for Mothman, aliens, and the truth, the most elusive discovery might just be learning to love again.

Synopsis

A gripping new first-person POV urban fantasy romance series by NY Times and USA Today bestselling author, Michelle M. Pillow.

All I want is a simple, normal life.

Unfortunately, normalcy is a luxury I can't afford as a lowly human born into a powerful supernatural family embroiled in magic. They've always been quick to remind me that I have an expiration date. Imagine everyone's surprise when it’s me standing above their graves, not the other way around.

The fire that took their lives wasn't my fault, yet everyone is blaming me, especially the vampires. Now I have a target on my back and a bounty on my head. Without the protection of my family, I’m caught up in a tangled web of supernatural dynasties and arcane power struggles.

So when a handsome stranger and his young daughter take pity on me and offer me a ride, I don’t say no. It’s a mistake. One I hope doesn’t cost us all our lives.

Sometimes, being merely mortal really sucks.

Pack Plus Three 

by Melissa Huxley 

Expected Pub May 25th 2024

(Goodreads)(Amazon) 

Synopsis

He’s the famous hockey player, and I’m the pregnant Omega next door…

My past was filled with mistakes, and knocking on a strange man’s door for a taste of his spicy food to satiate my craving was bound to be another one. The sparks were instant, and the bond I never expected to have grew, leaving me afloat as my due date loomed overhead.

I thought my pregnancy would be the issue that kept us apart, and I’d raise my child alone. I hoped I was wrong, but everything in my world was uncertain.

Adding Jeremy, Devon, and Nate to the mix might not be helpful. Jeremy, with his caring heart, took me in, and Devon filled my new home with laughter. Together, they reminded me of a kindness that I had forgotten.

Nate was the only one who hadn’t accepted me, and although I never intended to come between the three of them, his refusal left him battling against his pack mates’ desires, sending us all into a whirlwind of emotion as they fought amongst themselves.

Because Jeremy might not be the dad, but he wanted to be.

Pack Plus Three is the first book in the Pucking Pregnant series and is in the same universe as the Pucking Alphas series. Although each book is a standalone, they should be read in order.

Baby's First Howl

by Letty Frame

Expected Pub April 11th 2024 

(Amazon) 

Synopsis

Secrets are dangerous, nobody knows that more than Maia. But when the secrets held involve decades old family drama… she’ll learn that blood may not be thicker than water.

One moment Maia Blake is a grieving fiancée, the next she’s got a plus sign on a pregnancy test. But just when she wraps her head around her new future, she uncovers something her fiancé, Ryan, hid from her.

He was a werewolf, and their newborn daughter is one too.

But that’s just the beginning of the chaos Maia finds herself in as she learns about the werewolf world. Maia finds herself the object of desire for four identical Alpha werewolves, each more possessive and growly than the last. Bound by destiny, they’re all fated to be hers.

As Maia navigates her new reality, she’s drawn into a dangerous web of pack rivalries and family secrets. But the biggest threat is Ryan’s family and their desire for full custody. They doubt her ability to care for Phoebe since Maia is human.

But Maia’s hiding a big secret of her own, that nobody—not even her new mates—can know about. She’s not just human, she’s also clairvoyant. Or at least, how else would she keep seeing the ghost of her dead fiancé?

Torn between her new mates, the safety of her child, and the lingering pain of the past, Maia stands at a crossroads. Can she trust her new mates, protect her daughter, and uncover the truth behind Ryan's death? Or will her revelations be the spark that reignites ancient feuds, plunging the packs into chaos once more?

Baby’s First Howl is the first instalment in the First Shift duet. This series is a medium-burn reverse harem romance, and there is a guaranteed HEA for our FMC at the end of the second book.
