72

by Catarina T. Vex

Nell Sayer authenticates old paintings. She can tell a real Caravaggio from a forgery by the pressure of a brushstroke. Seeing what is hidden beneath the surface is what she does for a living. A contract brings her to a Boston estate. Seventy-two hours on site. Standard job. The door locks from the outside. He is calm. Polite. He does not threaten her. He asks her questions about Caravaggio and pours her water and watches her the way she watches canvases , slowly, systematically, looking for the thing underneath. Nell knows she is being studied. She does not know what he is building with what he finds. Seventy-two hours. A locked room. A man who never raises his voice. And the growing suspicion that the most dangerous thing in this room is not him. It is how fast she is getting used to him. The price of losing is higher than she thinks. [Read More]

What He'd Burn

What He'd Burn

by Ella Mitchelltree

"He'd burn the world down for you" is the most romantic line in fantasy. Until someone actually does it. Anna Iverson has spent her life proving she doesn't need anyone — a useful skill when your mother abandoned you to chase a mythical fated mate bond that never materialized. Now twenty-four and clawing her way toward pediatric cancer research on no sleep and no money, Anna's careful independence shatters the moment she shakes Jacob Tatum's hand. The bond snaps into place. Permanent. Intoxicating. Undeniable. Jacob is brilliant, protective, and utterly devoted. He's also a billionaire assassin who kills people for a living. At first, Anna rationalizes. He only eliminates people causing active harm — traffickers, murderers, monsters the legal system won't touch. The bond pulls her closer. His money solves problems she's been drowning under for years. She tells herself she can separate the man she loves from what he does. But Jacob's devotion doesn't have a ceiling. His protection doesn't have a line. And the fated mate bond that promised her a fairy tale? It doesn't come with an exit. What happens when "he'd do anything for you" stops being romantic — and you're the one who has to survive it? WHAT HE'D BURN is a dark fantasy romance and the first in a duology. For readers who love Sarah J. Maas and Rebecca Ross but want their morally grey characters examined rather than excused. Content warnings: violence, reproductive coercion, captivity, morally complex themes. This book goes there. [Read More]

A Shore Thing

by Emily Shacklette

Earned

by Lilly Manning

Elena Varela built her career on reading people. Adrian West is the first one who reads her back. As a crisis intelligence analyst newly recruited by the secretive Directorate, she's trained for difficult assignments. She isn't trained for Adrian West—controlled, severe, infuriatingly attractive, and convinced she has no business in his world of covert operations and lethal drawing rooms. Their first mission together should be straightforward. Infiltrate an elite private auction at an English country estate, and pose as Mr. and Mrs. Blackwood. Locate a young woman believed to be under coercion before she disappears into a network of stolen art, forged provenance, and powerful people who prefer their crimes wrapped in silk and champagne. But covers have a way of becoming complicated. In public, they stand close enough to convince a room full of watchers they belong together. In private, every correction, every touch, every near-miss turns the performance into something harder to dismiss. Adrian is all control and restraint—a man shaped by one failure he refuses to repeat. Elena is the one variable he can't manage, and the one woman he can't seem to keep at a safe distance. When the mission moves from the estate to a luxury yacht on the Thames, the line between performance and desire finally breaks. To save the woman they came for, they'll have to trust each other with more than the operation. By the time the cover falls, neither of them will be able to pretend it was ever only a lie. EARNED is a slow-burn romantic suspense novella featuring fake marriage, forced proximity, and an enemies-to-lovers dynamic set against the backdrop of London's most dangerous social circles. Book I of The Alias Series. [Read More]

The City of the Gods: Gold

by Zach Erwin

Raymond Chandler meets Stephen King in a universe like early DC Comics. As the scars of T-Day fade into memory, Empire City braces for a new nightmare brought forth by the sudden disappearance of Bonnie Connor, daughter of the enigmatic Theodora Connor. Reluctantly returning to her Scarlet Sparrow persona, Theodora seeks aid from the demon who bestowed powers upon her. As the devil inside takes control, she grows weaker and more disconnected, slowly losing her life and soul to her demonic savior. In his search for Bonnie, rookie detective Skip Gibson unexpectedly unearths a chilling truth—a sinister cult consisting of Empire City's most affluent socialites, intricately woven into Theo's dark past and possibly withholding information as to Bonnie Connor's whereabouts. Meanwhile, the same night Bonne vanishes, Doctor Nadir Singh's scientific team stumbles upon a mysterious UFO near the Connors' residence north of the city. With each revelation, Empire City transforms into a battleground where technology and the occult clash. In the midst of this chaos, Theodora, Skip, Nadir, and others must navigate a treacherous maze of betrayal and redemption, racing against the clock to uncover Bonnie's fate and protect the city's very soul.

Of Ice and Innocence

by Karen Hunter

She fought for her freedom. He's dying without her. Fate doesn't care what either of them wants. Book 2 of The Dragon's Flame Series. This story stands on its own, set within the world of The Dragon’s Flame. While returning characters make appearances, no prior reading is required. Though readers familiar with the first book may recognise a few extra layers. Laya survived four brutal Chases to remain unclaimed — the only free female wolf in a generation. She chose scars over submission and solitude over a mate who would strip away everything she'd bled to protect. The last thing she needs is a diplomatic mission into dragon territory. Kaeldric, advisor to the Dragon King, has been fading for months — his dragon slowly dying because he refused a mate bond he couldn't accept. When he finally finds her, she's everything he dreamed of and nothing he prepared for: a wolf warrior with claws already extended, who would sooner gut him than acknowledge what they both know. One crumbling railing. One frozen river. One impossible bond neither can outrun. Stranded in the wilderness with broken ribs, a dislocated shoulder, and only each other, enemies have no choice but to survive together. But surviving is the easy part. When they return to civilisation, their bond will either become the bridge between two warring peoples — or the spark that ignites the war that destroys them both. A wolf who refuses to be claimed. A dragon who's running out of time. And a mate bond that will demand the one thing neither of them is willing to give. [Read More]
