Familiar Warmth

by Dae Storm

He can't get him out of his head. Cyrus has spent years bowing his neck to the rule of lesser Alphas in the Crimson Moon pack. Biding his time, growing his strength, and waiting for the night he’ll finally take what should have always been his. The Blood Moon Ritual is coming, and he’s ready to claim his place. No matter who he has to break to do it. Then Gabriel walks in. Younger. Reckless. Oddly familiar; and standing directly in Cyrus’s path to power. What starts as rivalry turns into something far more dangerous—heat, tension, a pull neither of them can ignore. Gabe awakens a hunger in Cyrus that’s been buried for years, raw and consuming. Forced into each other’s orbit, every touch lingers too long, every glance cuts too deep. As Cyrus’s past claws its way back into the present, he finds himself torn between the love he lost, the power he craves… and the man he can’t resist. Familiar Warmth is an M/M shifter romance featuring explicit 18+ content. [Read More]

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]

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.

Duskshade

by Madison Patershuk and Ebony Dobson

Ophelia’s life is anchored by the measurable laws of the universe. As a dedicated heliophysicist, she trusts what she can prove and she trusts Nick, the man she believes is her soulmate. But when an impossible fracture in reality violently tears Ophelia, Nick, and her loved ones out of the human world and plunges them into the untamed Fae realm of Fenraeis, all earthly logic shatters. Stranded in a world that shouldn't exist, Ophelia quickly realizes they aren't just lost. They are being hunted. The Crownless, a terrifying and relentless entity, doesn't want her dead; he wants her caged. He intends to enslave Phee to siphon the elusive, ancient power awakening in her blood. It is a dormant, near-endless well of magic that hasn't been seen in an age, and this scientist has no idea how to control it. Desperate to keep the people she loves alive, Ophelia must become the warrior she was never meant to be. To survive, she is forced into an uneasy alliance with Kane—the ruthless, infuriating High King who might be just as dangerous as the monsters hunting them. As her impossible abilities rise to the surface, Ophelia realizes her arrival in Fenraeis wasn't an accident. She doesn't believe in destiny, but to keep her power out of the hands of a monster and to save those she loves, she must forge her own. [Read More]

by Zach Erwin

Raymond Chandler meets early 1960s Marvel Comics.

A secretive cult, mass graves hidden beneath the streets, and a conspiracy decades in the making threaten to consume everything in their path. With divine wrath tearing the city apart, Skip must rely on a patchwork crew of unlikely allies to uncover the truth, stop the chaos, and stay alive long enough to connect the cosmic dots. In a world where gods bleed and mortals dare to dig too deep, solving the case might be the only way to save what's left of Empire City. [Read More]
