Love at the Gates of Hell cover

Love at the Gates of Hell by Stella Rossi

Gideon would just like to be a normal thief and forger, thank you very much—except his beloved brother Luke has just become a vampire and they’ve been thrown into a whole supernatural world they didn’t know about before. So when Benny’s father hires them to find his kidnapped daughter, Gideon’s expecting a regular day at the office. Except...

Benny just wants a normal life of being a PhD student in folklore. Except she’s also the daughter of a mafia don AND secretly a witch. So, not exactly normal.

Life does not get any more normal from there, because turns out Benny is a rare kind of witch, the only kind that can open the gates of hell. And Gideon is now her protector against the baddies who want to do just that.

Supernatural creatures, a jewel heist, found family, banter—it’s all here! Love at the Gates of Hell by debut author Stella Rossi is out on KU now!

What if it goes friends to lovers to enemies to rivals to married-but-still-enemies-and-rivals to lovers?? You get Lavish by Tinia Montford!

We are back in Lush where the Kings rule, and the Whitmores, once their best friends, are clawing their way back to the top after a scandal. Miles Whitmore is determined to reclaim his family’s mantle, but in his way is Serena King, who chose her family over him in that same scandal.

To consolidate power, their families force Serena and Miles to marry—but they have more than family drama going on. Ghosts from both of their pasts have returned and are threatening everything they’ve individually worked for. How do they protect their businesses, their secrets, and their hearts when they can’t trust each other?

All Our Broken Vows cover

All Our Broken Vows by Mya More

Becka and Robert have been married for years and are still happy and in love, but they’re in a slump. So they decide to open up their lives to more sexual exploration. When an old friend comes back into their lives, Robert realizes that he’s maybe not that straight, which puts him in a tailspin because of his religious upbringing.

Becka is cool to support him through this and to bring their friend, who she’s also attracted to, into their relationship, but there’s a lot more for all three of them to deal with. But between family, work, society, and his own issues, Robert is struggling to deal with their polyamorous status, despite being happier than ever.

Lots of found family moments, plus plenty of spice in this MMF romance! It’s out on KU now!


A Darling Heir cover

A Darling Heir by Lark Holiday

Vivian has buried herself in her small town in Alaska after being burned by an ex who stole their restaurant from her. She’s poured her whole life into her family’s grocery, which is being sold out from under them, and she needs to raise enough money to buy it herself.

Thomas is a nepo baby with a trust fund his controlling father won’t let him access if he’s not married by 30. When Vivian hears about this while Thomas is visiting family in Darling, she goes to him to make a deal: she’ll marry him if he can give her enough money to buy the store and he can get his inheritance to keep his own NYC restaurant afloat. But when his father comes to town to see if this relationship is really real, they’ve gotta prove it... and maybe fall in love in the process.

This is a sweet small-town standalone, and Lark is so good at keeping the tension between them! Check out A Darling Heir available everywhere now (and soon to be on KU)!

'Til All the Seas Run Dry by Eliza MacArthur

Listen, if you want a masterclass in yearning and pining and longing, let me introduce you to Callum McLeod.

The man yearns for a THOUSAND years for his lost love (oops, did I mention he’s a vampire?) and arranges his entire life to make the world a better place as she would have wanted—and then finds out that hey, she didn’t die a thousand years ago and ALSO she’s not human.

She’s actually a selkie and he’s kept her skin all these years, not realizing that’s what it was. So now Jory has a chance to go back to her selkie life—that she originally gave up for him—even though her lost love Callum (who she also thought was dead for a thousand years) is right there. Which one will she choose?

Eliza MacArthur writes beautiful, aching emotion so well, and you will fall in love with Callum and Jory! ‘Til All the Seas Run Dry is out now!

With This Witch by Isla Winter

Petra thought she’d have ages before she’d have to take over the role of Premier Witch, the leader of the witches in her small community where supernaturals and humans live together, but a family emergency means she’ll have to step up sooner. The Premier Witch, though, traditionally has to be married, and Petra thought she’d have ages for that as well. But if she can’t find a spouse in 30 days, the supernatural council will give the Premier Witch title to her family’s long-held enemy.

Her friend Lachlan, the demon representative on the council, who has secretly been pining for her for years, offers to fake-marry her for the good of the council (sure, babe). Petra, of course, thinks they’re just friends and doesn’t want to ruin anything, even though her new husband is hot and sweet and has HORNS, you guys.

Family, legacy, politics, small town, friends to lovers, witches and demons and vampires (and more), oh my! With This Witch is out today!
