TREACHEROUS GOD

J.M. Stoneback

Release Date: February 28

Available in Kindle Unlimited

I didn’t want Lilac.
I selected her.


Sweet. Untouched. Mine.

To secure my place inside the secret society that governs North Haven University, I needed a wife—someone controllable, compliant, temporary.

Lilac was supposed to be leverage.
So I lied to her.

I bound her to me in a marriage she believes has an expiration date.
She thinks escape is possible.

She doesn’t understand the rules were written long before she arrived.
Her trust destabilizes me.
Her fear anchors me.

I don’t protect her because I love her.

I protect her because once she chose me, I couldn’t allow her to belong to anyone else—including herself.
She can resist. She can hate me. She can try to break what I’m building.

But every shared breath, every trembling touch, every moment she survives because of me pulls her deeper into a dependence she doesn’t yet recognize.

This marriage was never meant to end.
It was meant to erase the version of her that existed before me.

And Lilac will learn the truth the hard way:
the most dangerous thing about loving me
isn’t what I’ll do to her—
it’s what she’ll become when she can no longer imagine life without me.

A dark psychological romance with psychological horror undertones—exploring coercive control, identity erosion, obsession, and moral corruption.
Standalone with a psychologically conclusive HEA, where the damage is acknowledged, the bond is permanent, and survival comes at a cost.

Title: Snowed in with the Bikers
Series: Ferel Rebels MC
Author: Nikki Landis
Genre: MC Romance; Reverse Harem
Tropes: Forced Proximity; Secrets & Revenge; The Guys Fall First; Snowstorm, Danger & Spice; Biker Princess, Touch Her & ๐Ÿ’€; A Stepbrother, Marine Veteran, & Ex-Con
Release Date: February 27, 2026


Who would have thought one snowstorm could ignite such a heated, life-altering night?
I’ve always been a biker princess. Forbidden. Off-limits. Protected by a ruthless bunch of outlaws because I’m related to more than one of the members. My father died defending the freedom to ride and live on his own terms, but it’s my stepbrother who ensures my safety.

Until a wild party where stolen kisses and drunken confessions suddenly expose long-hidden truths. There’s a reason I’m guarded so closely, and it’s more shocking than the three bikers willing to risk their president’s wrath as they unravel dark promises from the past.

Diesel, a tower of strength with his menacing gaze and brute strength, but it’s his talented tongue that makes me blush. He’s loyal, sinfully irresistible, and teases me with wicked words and carnal promises.

Revenant, a Marine veteran who prides himself on remaining cool, controlled, and focused. His gray eyes hold me hostage, but his calloused fingers show gentleness and passion I never expected.

But it’s my stepbrother Void who’s heated looks and threats against anyone who tries to touch me prove his thoughts aren’t innocent, and his intentions just might scorch us both. He’s an expert hacker and the only one willing to dive deep enough to uncover my real identity.

Suddenly thrust into a dark world I didn’t know existed, I don’t know what to do. I avoid the clubhouse for weeks, refusing to answer Revenant, Void, or Diesel’s calls.

But when a snowstorm hits, and I’m stranded, the three bikers brave the ice and freezing temperatures to rescue me. They notice right away that someone tampered with my car, and danger has found me despite the tight circle of protection. Now I have to figure out how I’m surviving and if it’s Diesel, Void, or Revenant who wants me. . . or if it’s all three of them.

SNOWED IN WITH THE BIKERS is a motorcycle club romance where the girl gets all the bad boys and doesn't have to choose between them to get her happy ever after. It's book 3 in the FERAL REBELS MC that consists of standalone romances with ongoing plotlines and interconnecting characters. There's violence, biker slang, forced proximity, and a small town romance with one wicked stepbrother, and possessive, protective alpha men who fall first.

Title: Web of Vows & Vengeance

Author: Aria Ashbrook

Genre: Fantasy Romance

Cover Designer: Covers by Christian

Publication Date: Feb. 27, 2026

Hosted by: Lady Amber's PR

Blurb: 

Stripped of power. Fuelled by Vengeance.

She lost everything because of his lie. Now the only way to save what remains is
to win a tournament designed to destroy her.

When Prince Kyor twisted the truth about his mother’s death, Rose paid the price.
Her family was stripped of their magic, cast into the slums, and left to wither in a
world that once revered them. Now her parents are gone, and her younger sister’s
life hangs in the balance.

Rose’s only hope is the Tournament of the Gifting—a brutal competition where
the victor earns a blessing from Etta, the goddess of life. The catch? Every other
contender wields the very power she was robbed of.

And Kyor is among them. He doesn’t just want to win. He wants her dead.

Thrown into a world of magic, monsters, and merciless trials, Rose must fight not
only for survival but for the chance to reclaim her future. Along the way, she’ll find
unlikely allies, betrayals that cut deep, and a connection with her greatest enemy
that could ruin her—or remake her.

This enthralling romantasy is perfect for fans of enemies-to-lovers, found family, and heroines who rise from ruin. This is a tale of heartbreak, vengeance, and the kind of power that can’t be stolen.

Aria Ashbrook writes enthralling dark romantasy filled with dangerous trials, sisterhood, and an enemies-to-lovers romance that will make you scream. 

Aria Ashbrook is the shared pen name of award-winning authors Heather G. Harris and Hannah Lynn. Together, they craft cruel romantasy worlds where danger lurks, destiny calls, and love (eventually) conquers all.

ON THE OTHER SIDE

Harper Jackson

Release Date: February 27

Available in Kindle Unlimited

I built my life on my belief in justice. Until the day the system proved me wrong.

Now I’m back on Hatterwick Island with nothing left—no career, no credibility, and no illusions about the law I once trusted. The only thing heavier than the guilt I carry is knowing I once turned my back on a man who didn’t deserve it.

Rios Carrera.

Twelve years ago, my cousin disappeared, and he was the last one to see her alive. I believed the whispers that he was responsible. I made him the villain of the story—and he has every reason to hate me for it.

But when a graduate student vanishes and the police insist she left of her own accord, Rios is the only one willing to look deeper. What starts as a search for the truth drags us into something darker than either of us imagined.

Reluctant allies become something far more dangerous. Because the closer we get to uncovering what’s been buried on this island for decades, the more I realize justice isn’t black and white…and the man I once condemned may be the only one I can trust with my life—and my heart.

Crown of Ash and Oath

Genre: Romantasy

By Susan Horsnell – USA Today Bestselling Author

Goodreads: 

Release Date: April 3




Preorder on Amazon

Coming to Kindle Unlimited



Blurb:

Crown of Ash and Oath follows King Pawelinus of Reopheral and Queen Yvaine of Echuqurian after war strips them of every easy option.


Gaivaria isn’t a single enemy you can bargain with or kill; it’s an empire—structured, patient, and built to absorb smaller kingdoms through armies, bureaucracy, and influence that reaches as far as ink and coin can travel.


With the Gaivarian Army pushing in from the borders and working quietly inside their courts, King Pawelinus and Queen Yvaine are forced into an alliance that can’t be made public without them becoming a target.


They trade intelligence, coordinate disruptions, and make decisions that have to look routine to everyone watching. Every move has to hold up under scrutiny, because the empire won’t need a battlefield victory if it can turn their systems against them.


Their pact begins as strategy, but it doesn’t stay there. Under pressure, trust stops being theoretical, and proximity turns into something neither of them can dismiss.


King Pawelinus learns that Queen Yvaine’s control isn’t coldness—it’s survival.


Queen Yvaine learns that the King’s discipline isn’t pride—it’s an oath he means to keep.


As crowns replace titles and losses turn to ash, their partnership becomes the one thing those in control of Gaivaria can’t easily predict: two rulers choosing each other as deliberately as they choose resistance.


The romance isn’t a distraction from the war.


It’s part of what makes them dangerous.
