“You know I will devour you, Ayna.”
Ayna has escaped Ephegos’s claws—but war is far from over.
As the rebel forces rise and the King of Tavras readies weapons that could shatter the fairylands, the battle for Askarea begins to burn. Crows and fairies alone won’t be enough to hold back the storm. And with ancient bargains unraveling and magic twisting loyalty into chains, not every ally will be free to stand beside their queen.
To save both her kingdoms, Ayna must do the impossible: unite fractured realms, survive betrayal, and outwit a tyrant with nothing left to lose. But as war threatens to consume the world she’s sworn to protect, one truth becomes clear—power always demands a price.
And this time, the cost may be everything.
Realm of Crows is the heart-racing finale to the bestselling high-stakes, heart-break epic romantasy Wings of Ink series—perfect for fans of Quicksilver, From Blood and Ash, and A Court of Thorns and Roses.
This series is part of the ALCUNAIRE.

Title: The House Guest
Author: Penelope Ward
Genre: Standalone Contemporary Romance
Tropes: Billionaire Hero/Roommates/Twist
Slow Burn/Angsty/Opposites Attract
Release Date: August 31, 2025


BLURB

From New York Times bestselling author Penelope Ward comes a new, STANDALONE contemporary romance…

The last thing Dorian Vanderbilt expected was to find me painting in my crop top when he returned to the mansion he hadn’t inhabited in years.
He was understandably surprised I’d turned his living room into an art space.
Life is certainly full of surprises, though, but not always in a good way.
I learned that lesson when my aunt and the billionaire she married died unexpectedly while traveling.
I’d been living with them, and just like that, my life was turned on its axis.
Unsure of what was next, I stayed alone at the barren estate figuring out my next move.
That was when Dorian—the late billionaire’s only son—showed up.
I’d never met Dorian Vanderbilt. He’d been living on the other side of the country.
But now, he was home, left to pick up the pieces of his father’s legacy.
Not only was Dorian devastatingly handsome and mysterious, but he was the sole heir to the Vanderbilt fortune.
He didn’t seem to like me—at first. We were total opposites. But I was grateful that at least he didn’t kick me out.
We stayed out of each other’s way for the most part, save for some late-night kitchen run-ins or unexpected bonding sessions in the home theater.
Over time, though, we grew closer. Turned out, our chemistry was pretty combustible.
I was falling in love with him.
Until everything I thought I knew turned upside down yet again.
And fate left me pining for the one man I’d ever loved.

SECOND CHANCE SPARK

Kait Flynn

Release Date: August 29

Available in Kindle Unlimited

Some sparks are worth the burn. Even when you know better.

I didn’t expect the emergency call to take me to Doc Holliday’s. Didn’t expect her, either.


Gillian Holliday—sharp-tongued, impossible to ignore, and the woman I haven’t stopped thinking about since the day she left Huckleberry Creek.


Now she’s back. Temporarily, she says. Just here to help her family.


But this town is small. Too small to avoid the past. And when her world starts colliding with mine all over again—at the station, at the bar, across every damn corner of this town—I’m reminded exactly how good we were together.


And how bad it hurt when it all went sideways.


We’re older now. Wiser, maybe. But the spark? Yeah, that part’s still dangerous.

When fate (and a mouse) reunite a charming cougar shifter with his sexy Las Vegas hook up can they make what was a one time thing into something much more permanent?


~Mallory

No names, no details, no future. It was just a hook up one night in a Vegas nightclub. Who could blame me? The guy at the bar was just what I needed to scratch the itch a long romantic dry spell left me with. It did the trick and what happened in Vegas stayed in Vegas…

Until a mouse went nowhere a rodent should go and reunited us six months later. Any thoughts of picking up where we left off vanished when I discover he’s a VP in the company I work for. I’ve worked too hard on my career to tarnish my reputation and risk my family’s respect with a fling that will have people thinking I’m sleeping my way through executive team. The past is going to have to remain just that because there can be no future.


~Liam

Once I felt the curvy auburn-haired beauty against me and knew how sweet her kisses were I knew I wanted more. But she rushed away like a sexy Cinderella leaving me alone in the dark corner of a noisy nightclub with only her blue lace panties to remember her by.


I couldn’t believe my luck to have finally found her here in my hometown. However, my luck runs out when she refuses to date me because of my position in our company. Little does she know I have plans that will remove that barrier and change both of our futures.

Can I convince her to trust fate—and me—and give us a chance?

Title: Veiled Justice

Author: Heather G. Harris 

Genre: Urban Fantasy

Cover Designer: Covers by Christian

Publication Date: Aug. 28th, 2025

Hosted by: Lady Amber’s PR



Blurb:

Murder has crashed the party, so justice won’t wait for an invitation.

Champagne, caviar… and a corpse. This high-society party wasn’t meant to end in murder. When my brother calls me to investigate the brutal stabbing of a female ogre at the charity ball of the season, the glittering magical elite quickly become a sea of suspects.

Everyone who’s anyone was there, but glamour has given way to something far darker. Someone’s playing a deadly game, and the stakes couldn’t be higher. It’s my job to cut through the beauty and lies to find a killer hiding among the rich and powerful.

As a police inspector with the Connection, I’ve seen plenty of strange things, but this case reeks of entitlement, secrets, and old money with something to hide. Then the King of the Ogres storms in. Furious and formidable, he demands justice. Stopping him from tearing through the guest list is almost as hard as keeping my mind on the case, because rage and power look annoyingly good on him.

But when a dryad turns up dead at another elite event, I realise I’m chasing a serial killer who thinks they’re too rich to face consequences… and they’re setting my brother up to take the fall.

With a rookie partner finding his feet and my talking-bird sidekick offering sharp advice (and sharper insults), I’m racing against the clock to solve the case before my brother faces the lethal justice of the Other realm…

Immerse yourself in The Other Detective Series – perfect for fans of supernatural crime, complete with a fierce heroine, gritty murder investigations, and a slow-burn romance.


 



Heather is an urban fantasy writer and mum. She was born and raised near Windsor, which gave her the misguided impression that she was close to royalty in some way. She is not, though she once got a letter from Queen Elizabeth's lady-in-waiting.

Handle with Care
Hayden Stone
Publication date: October 14th 2025
Genres: Adult, Comedy, Contemporary, LGBTQ+, Romance

Two rival interns. One art museum. And a missing art museum exhibit.

Dylan Alexander doesn’t need a boyfriend. Having one will only slow him down.

Freshly graduated from university, Dylan’s arrived in London, England from Vancouver, Canada for a summer internship at the London Art & Design Museum. He’s also looking for strings-free fun and a fresh dating scene. This is Dylan’s dream chance to start his career and land a permanent job in London—or else he must return to Vancouver where museum jobs are rare, and the dating pool is old news. Everything’s going great in his new life—except for one thing. Dylan must put up with rival museum intern William Martin-Greene.

Will is everything Dylan can’t stand: flashy, arrogant, and entitled. Forget that he’s too handsome for his own good and knows it. It’s bad luck that they both started on the same internship program. At least they work safely apart in different departments—until one day, they’re forced to work together when Will unexpectedly joins Dylan’s Curatorial team. So much for the avoidance strategy that had worked so far. Will’s arrival on his team is also not helping his unmistakable attraction. When Dylan and Will end up stranded together while collecting exhibits, with only one bed to share, they can’t deny their chemistry.

With only one permanent job on offer at the end of the summer, the competition is on to be the best intern. They both share the blame when an important design exhibit goes missing and risks the unexpected summer romance between them. Then, everything is on the line—including hearts, careers, and a chance at love.

A rivals-to-lovers, opposites attract, only one bed, and boy-next-door romance!

By Susan Horsnell

What to expect:

Asylum

Historical 

Australian Fiction

Victorian Era 

Paranormal 

Ghost Encounters



BLURB:

In the shadows of the Josdall Lunatic Asylum, the past refuses to stay silent.


As they piece together journals, hidden ledgers, and whispered spirits, Andrea Butler-O’Leary and Hazel Emmett unravel a web of injustice, silent resistance, and a secret network of women determined to protect one another in the face of cruelty. But attempting to reveal the truth comes at a deadly cost—one that has echoed through generations.


When Lily Cunningham, a molecular genetics student and descendant of a forgotten patient, volunteers to guide ghost tours at the long-abandoned Josdall Asylum, she expects eerie tales — not a journey into her own family’s buried secrets. Lily is pulled into a haunting vision of the asylum’s darkest days, the stories of women trapped behind cold stone walls. Stories of courage, betrayal, and untold suffering.


Haunted by voices lost to time, Lily will confront the injustices of the past and ensure the truth is finally told.


Some truths wait patiently for the right ears. And these walls DO speak.
