Title: Lost & Stolen Gods

Author: Debbie Cassidy

Genre: Dark Fantasy Romance

Cover Designer: Covers by Juan

Publication Date: April 4, 2025

Hosted by: Lady Amber's PR

Blurb: 

Gods aren’t born, they’re made.

 

I should have died the same night that a monster murdered my grandmother, but I was saved, stolen from my world, and thrown into a realm ravaged by an endless war between ancient gods called Asura.

 

I’m told that I’m a demigod, that there are others like me, brought to this world to replenish their dwindling numbers. They want us to prove we’re worthy of ascension and fight alongside them.

 

But I don’t give a damn about their war. All I want is vengeance on the monster that killed my only family. A monster from their world. And if the only way to kill it is to become a god, then I’m all in.

 

But the path of ascension is paved with dangerous tests, culminating in a lethal trial called the labyrinth of gods. 

 

Only an ancient fire elemental has the power to help me survive it. 

 

His wicked mouth sets my pulse racing, and his dark threats turn my blood to ice. Charismatic and terrifying, he attracts and repels me in equal measure, and I have no doubt he’d snap my neck in a heartbeat if freed from the magical bonds that compel him to aid me.

 

He hopes to be my undoing, and if I’m not careful I may not make it to the labyrinth alive. 

 

To claim the vengeance that I desire I’ll need to protect my body and shield my mind, but most of all I’ll need to guard my heart.

 

Enter an Otherworldly realm filled with gods, monsters, and mystical beings. Opposites attract and love and conflict collide, in this forced proximity romance.

The man I’m being forced to seduce is ruthless, dominant, and untouchable.
And he should be. He’s a hitman.

Playing seductress is nothing new, but the stakes are. Dex unexpectedly changes the rules, twisting the game, pushing me to stay one step ahead…

Then, he puts his hands on me.
Suddenly, I lose all control.
And in Dex’s arms, I realize maybe I never really had control of a damn thing to begin with.

What will remain amid the savage chaos we’ve created when the hunter becomes the hunted?

We’re both about to find out.

Title: Pitch for Me
Series: Haircuts and Heartthrobs Series
Author: Swati M.H.
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Tropes: Single Mom; Single Dad; Baseball Romance; Blended Family; He Falls First
Release Date: May 1, 2025
Cover Design: Cover Me Darling
Illustrations: Anna Noel Books



I had a one-night stand with a gorgeous stranger, believing I’d never see him again. Except who did he turn out to be? Troy Winters, starting pitcher for the MLB and the hottest single dad to grace the planet.

What’s worse, he’s now my son’s new baseball coach.

In my defense, Troy and I had agreed to exchange fake names and occupations that fateful night in a seedy Colorado bar. One perfect night of no strings and a quick escape from my busy single mom life. . . Right?

Fast forward to a re-meet-cute that had me diving under a chair, an injury that sidelined him for a year, and now Troy is coaching my son’s team while he recovers.

His smoldering golden-hued gaze makes one thing clear: he’s not letting me disappear again.

But after a highly publicized divorce from a narcissistic pro-golfer, I’m done with the spotlight and athletes. No matter how cute their rear end looks in a uniform.

Yet Troy is relentless. Between his bond with my boy, his tenderness for his daughter, and our scorching chemistry, my walls are crumbling.

So I offer a compromise: a friends-with-benefits situation while he recovers. Once he returns to the MLB, we’ll go back to being just friends.

Simple enough, right?

Except, the more time I spend wrapped in his arms, the less simple everything becomes.

Now, with the MLB calling him back, I have a choice to make: stick to our deal and protect my heart or risk everything for the spotlight I’d vowed to avoid.






Swati MH is a Texas raised contemporary romance author living in the Bay Area with her very own book husband and two beautiful daughters. When she's not writing stories full of humor, heart, and heartbreak, she's likely thinking about doing so . . . preferably while holding a glass of wine.

Title: Violet

Author: Brooke Harper

Genre: Modern Regency, Omegaverse

Cover Designer: Angela Haddon

Publication Date: April 3rd, 2025

Hosted by: Lady Amber's PR


Blurb: 

Being the eldest Gardener daughter means constantly balancing my Omega nature with society’s relentless expectations. I'm the golden child, the overachiever, and when it comes to finding a mate, I won’t settle for anything less than perfect.

 

I can’t.

 

Luckily, during this spring’s mating season, I catch the attention of the Council Monarch, and suddenly, I'm the hottest topic on social media. Just when things seem to be falling into place, in walks Stephan Ashford—famous actor and devastatingly charming lone Alpha. His scandalous past and refusal to claim an Omega makes him the most eligible—and unattainable—Alpha of the season, but he’s just what I need.

 

To get people talking, Stephan and I agree to a fake relationship. For him, it keeps his rabid fans at bay; for me, it brings more potential mates to my door. But as our connection deepens, something far more dangerous simmers beneath the surface. 

 

Now, we’re caught in a war between our own primal instincts and the dark secrets we carry. It could implode all around us—or lead us straight into each other’s arms.


Brooke Harper creates dark and sexy worlds for her characters to play. A lover of strong coffee and old tombstones, she spins dark tales of sex and sin, pain and passion, and misery and madness that’ll have you flipping the pages and begging for more.

 

Dark Contemporary pen name of Harper A. Brooks.
