“What if your magic killed the ones you love?” Chloe Lemair, last Aeorian witch in existence, knows the answer. Abstaining from her innate power, Chloe buries herself in work—cutting hair as a barber, and keeping the peace as warden of the last sanctuary for the magicborn in a world devastated by the Climate Event. Late one summer night, the world’s oldest living vampire walks into her shop. Vladimir Lazarus Shadowglass wastes no time baring truths about Chloe’s bloodline, duty and a burning connection her magic recognizes. He awakens powers she didn’t know she possessed—and a desire she swore she’d buried. However Vlad was sent by the Corporate Republic, a techno-fascist empire powered by stolen magic. Their aim? The complete control of all magic wielders on Earth, especially Chloe. Her devotion to Vlad is exactly the leverage they’ve been waiting for. If Chloe cannot separate destiny from manipulation, she risks losing not just the vampire who is becoming everything but the sovereignty of the last free place on Earth. A slow burn fantasy romance for readers who want magic, blood, and destiny that was written before time even existed. LIGHTBREAKER is set in the SHADOWGLASS UNIVERSE and takes place after the events of THE ANCHOR OF TIME. Standalone read with series context. [Read More]

ARC READERS WANTED | PERFECT FILTER by KT Monroe Do you love romances that take their time, let you really get to know the characters, and make you care about whether they find their way back to each other? I’m looking for ARC readers for Perfect Filter, the first novel in my interconnected Perfect Hearts Series. About the book Millions of followers believe Soo-ah and Woo-jin have the perfect relationship. Behind the cameras, their love story is falling apart. When their carefully curated world unravels, they end up in the Korean countryside, where life moves at a different pace and there are no cameras to hide behind. Surrounded by unexpected friendships, meddling neighbors, and the complications of ordinary life, they have to decide whether the relationship they’ve spent years presenting to the world is one they still want for themselves. This book might be for you if you enjoy: * Second-chance romance featuring an established couple * Emotionally layered, imperfect adult characters * Slow-building intimacy and meaningful character growth * Small-town communities, friendships, and found connections * Humor and everyday moments alongside emotional conflict * Long, immersive novels where relationships have room to develop * Contemporary Korean settings and K-drama-style storytelling A few things to know before requesting an ARC: Perfect Filter is approximately 520 paperback pages. It’s a substantial, character-driven romance, not a short or fast-paced romantic comedy. The central couple is already in a relationship when the story begins. This is about rediscovering love within an existing relationship, not two strangers meeting and falling in love. The story balances romance with friendships, community life, personal growth, and the consequences of living for a public audience. It’s K-drama-inspired, but you don’t need to watch K-dramas or know anything about Korean television to enjoy it. ARC details * Genre: Adult contemporary romance / second-chance [Read More]

Lizzy Stone loves her little Cornish island. She rises with the sun and she dances with the moon. She dives with the gannets and bathes with the seals. Her worship is hot and red. The Devil covets Lizzy’s island. He wants nothing more than its consumption, its integration into His calculating, mechanical designs. His desire is synthetic and bottomless. When the Devil comes a storm always comes with Him. Sort of a tradition. Only this time it will be different. THIS time His covetousness will be satiated. This time He’ll take the island for His own. Lizzy, new initiate into the order of sacred whores who protect the island, isn’t going to let Him. She’s fallen in love with Percy, a fellow apprentice. No one gets to threaten Percy’s first real home. And no one’s taking Lizzy's little sister away either, hopelessly dazzled by the glittering mainland lights as she may be. A storm will rage. Telephone poles will fall and bridges will be washed away. Say good night to the electrics and the moon and the stars. Lizzy and Percy were born in darkness, but even they’re not prepared for what’s coming. [Read More]
