Summary:
Carly Catterson has one rule: never date a coworker again. After her last office romance ended in humiliation—complete with a public breakup and a change in careers—Carly swore off love in the workplace. And especially love with Nate Farnsworth, the infuriatingly charming office rival at her new job. But when Nate needs a fake girlfriend to fool his parents, and Carly needs a way to make her ex squirm, a mutually beneficial arrangement is born. The plan is simple: fake smiles, staged hand-holding, and absolutely no real feelings involved. Only, somewhere between stolen glances and too-convincing kisses, Carly starts to see a side of Nate she never expected—kind, funny, and not at all the enemy she thought. But where does that leave the mystery pen pal who's been her anonymous confidant for months? The one who actually understands her? With their fake dating deal nearing the end and a scheduled meeting with her pen pal on the horizon, Carly has to decide. Go back on her rule and risk her heart with Nate, or walk away from the online guy who knows her best. Never With You brings all the tension and sizzling chemistry without language or explicit scenes. It's book one in the Always Say Never Series. Narrated in duet style.

The last witch on Earth takes on interdimensional invaders, tentacled overlords, and office politics in this fun, funny, and fast-paced urban fantasy series.

Despite her best efforts to get fired, the witch is trapped in a draconian, century-long contract that condemns her to work for the Archons of the Nether Realms in the banal misery of county government. But when she accidentally pleases her many-armed overlords, the Dread Lord of Human Resources curses her with an unwanted promotion. And it involves meetings. As she enters a new bureaucratic hellscape, the witch is assigned to lead a task force investigating recent attacks on senior Archons. Fortunately, her boss has offered her a deal: if she solves the case, they'll knock fifteen years off her sentence. And if that doesn't work out, well, she just might have to find a way to help take down the tentaclarchy—or else be doomed to permanent civil servitude . . . Filled with quick-witted banter, hilariously relatable office politics, and fantastically original characters, The Witch of Tophet County is Lovecraft meets Parks and Recreation—an explosive start to a new series guaranteed to have you glued to your seat until the very last page.

Summary:
In a realm where might is right and the powerful rule supreme, only an Unbound Hero can withstand the coming storm. Escaping the Coherent Realm and crossing the Rift was just the beginning. As Marek steps into the Unbound Realm, Mags and Ashurai at his side, he discovers a world where ancient powers walk the land. The sky brighter, the land broader, everything seems grander than what they'd known in their previous lives. Yet splendor never lasts long. The consequences of their crossing soon catch up. The Rift was more than a magical barrier. It was the site of an endless battle between realms. And though that conflict was fought by the men of old, it was the gods of the East and the West who spurred it on. Old as they are, such grievances rarely subside over time. On this side of the world, the Western gods hold no power. It is Unbound Sages who command the heavens, and it will be them who decide the fate of our heroes. One Sage gifts Ashurai the seed of transformation, while another seeks to guide Marek's path. For Mags' part, the young cultivator finds herself capable of weaving pure essence, her core enhanced by the magic of this new world. Seeking Yuze's ancient Sect brothers, Marek and Mags can only pray that the cultivators still walk a sacred path. For with a realm full of monsters and tyrants in their way, and demons infringing on mankind's domain, Marek and his companions will need every ally they can find. Blending epic fantasy and LitRPG, The Twin Realms Apocalypse is ideal for fans of He Who Fights with Monsters, Cradle, and The Beginning After the End. It's character-driven, with moments of high action and slice of life. Third-person PoV. Single MC. Intense violence. Language and content for teens and up.

They're hunting me. And I didn't even get a chance to run. But it doesn't mean I won't bite. When I was sold into slavery, I made sure I wasn't worth bedding. I bit. I fought. I made such a snarl of things, they drugged me to try and calm me down. They would have eventually won, had I not been rescued. Silly me, thinking that was the end of it. Of course, I would crash land on an island. And now I'm being hunted on this exiled sector of brutal vampires. They're after my body and my blood. Magnus is one of them. I should be terrified of the gorgeous male who has taken me to his lair. Yet, when the blood has washed off and the moon turns red from his dark deeds, I realize he's not like the others. He's darkly beautiful. He's patient in his form of hunting me. He's powerful in the way he says he'll claim me. But he's waiting for something. I'm not entirely sure what. Because I'm not like the females he knows. There's no way I can go into heat and take his knot like he wants. There's no way I can take his seed… Right? Outcast Island is a standalone novel in the Exiled Sector series featuring strong AOB themes, nesting, growling, purring, breeding, and, of course, knotting.

Summary:
SHORTLISTED FOR THE 2025 SHELLEY AWARDS A Holy Maiden should never drink, get kidnapped, nor kiss a Dark Lord, but Ysabel is breaking all the rules to escape her fate as a human sacrifice. In a world where magical powers are commonplace, Holy Maiden Ysabel is revered as a goddess among her people. She's the only one able to heal the sick and injured with a simple touch. But her spectacular gift comes at a steep price. For each person she saves, she loses a day of her own conscripted life. To add insult to injury, she's supposed to maintain a pure image even though she'd rather drink and play dominatrix until her sorrows fade away. After the corrupt Head Cardinal Jiang abuses her gift, forbids her from leaving the city, and takes her brother hostage, Ysabel doesn't dare drag anyone else into her problems—especially since it won't change her fate. But when Dark Lord Kaine arrives at her clinic doorstep grievously wounded, she's touched by his refusal to accept her healing lest it cost her another day of her life. The mysterious and sexy Dark Lord awakens forbidden desires in Ysabel, and the nagging survival instinct she tried to drown with booze and drugs comes back with a vengeance. She's less impressed, however, when he threatens to sack her city in return for his injuries. Fortunately, she can flirt her way to an alliance against the Head Cardinal instead. Armed with only a ferociously loyal female bodyguard named Alzira, Ysabel attempts to make the most of her mere months left to live, protect the refugees around her city, prevent a war, and hide her face blindness. But before her life flickers to its sad end, she must decide: either die a proper Holy Maiden or risk it all to run off with Kaine.

Summary:
Separated by ten thousand years, a team of scientists and their test subject must work together to save the human species—before it's too late . . . With humanity facing imminent extinction, Centauri Project scientists use technology originally designed for interstellar travel to send a test subject ten millennia into Earth's future. Marooned in an uninhabited wilderness, microbiologist Nicholas Hindman searches for evidence of remnant populations. He has a protocol to follow and is determined to do so to the bitter end—though he knows he's probably searching in vain, stranded on an uninhabited planet silently orbiting the sun. Meanwhile, back in 2068 AD, a devastating hyperpandemic has quelled all talk of interstellar travel and thrown the future of humanity into grave doubt. Four surviving members of the Centauri team board a vintage solar-powered sailing yacht for a harrowing journey in search of a second test subject. Their destination is a small volcanic island north of Sicily rumored to harbor that rarest of creatures: a woman capable of getting pregnant, thereby ensuring this generation of Homo sapiens isn't the last. But first they must make it halfway across the post-apocalyptic globe, risking heatwaves, oceanic megastorms, murderous gangs, deranged cult leaders, a volcanic eruption, and the dangerous microbes that continue to circulate through the planet's atmosphere. A finalist for the Prism Prize for Climate Literature, The Afterlife Project encompasses a desperate quest for the key to the future of humanity, an impossible love story, and a search for meaning across the inconceivable vastness of geological time.

Summary:
The second installment of this adventurous fantasy sees Lillith reaching daring new heights—and some dangerous lows. Lillith has always possessed the ability to feel the grief of the people around her. But now she can harness it and put it to use as well. That said, her recent exploits have labeled her a monster and a villain, specifically 'the Mage of Mourning.' This title is a nod to both the carnage she leaves in her wake and the tools she implements in the process. But Lillith doesn't need a good reputation. She doesn't even need this life. And she certainly doesn't need to keep her hands free of blood. Now, despite having helped as many people as possible in Satusmor, giving the common folk there access to basic necessities, Lillith's job is far from done. She's determined to wreak a little havoc in the city of Visenar, but unfortunately, havoc has a lot in store for her. She'll need the help of an intriguing woman named Sarafyna, who has her own powers and complex history—and who intrigues Lillith in more ways than one . . . Things get more complicated every day, what with new friends and foes, the unseen Collector, and the mysterious, sacred Radiant Woods. But abolishing slavery, encouraging the widespread use of mana, and ending the monarchy isn't going to happen overnight. Featuring a brash, brainy heroine who wields magic, kicks ass, and still makes time for romance, the Otherworldly Anarchist series is perfect for fans of female-centric progression fantasy. The second volume of the hit isekai adventure series—with almost a million views on Royal Road—now available on Kindle, Kindle Unlimited, and Audible!

A knight in shining armor? Hardly.

Now we're 'in love,' navigating bridal showers, family dinners, and dance floors where sparks are definitely flying. He's irritatingly perfect in the role of devoted boyfriend, and worse, I'm starting to believe it. But he's still the enemy, the one I'm supposed to hate. So why does one searing look from him have me wishing our fake love was something I could keep? Fans of enemies-to-lovers, fake dating, and swoon-worthy moments won't want to miss this romcom packed with laugh-out-loud banter and heart-fluttering chemistry!

Summary:
Losing my husband broke me, but crash-landing onto Nightmare Island might just kill me. This isn't just any island. It's where the feral are sent to die. The ones with nothing left to lose. And now, I'm trapped with the most vicious pack shifters alive. I've survived before—endured a forced marriage. But this? This is different. The wild shifters watch me from the shadows. Their glowing eyes track my every move. Their growls vibrate in the air. I'm their target. A prize to be claimed. Then he finds me. Ghost. He says he'll help, but nothing comes without a price. And he wants more than I'm willing to give. Just when I think I've hit my limit… I start to experience my first heat. The question isn't if I'll survive this place. It's what I'll become when the fire finally consumes me. The Exiled Sector series features fast-paced, action-packed, standalone romance books. Each story guarantees a happily-ever-after ending and can be enjoyed in any order. Nightmare Island is a paranormal romance set in the Savage Sector and Shadowlands Sector world.
