Preorder Avalon Tower by C.N Crawford & Alex Rivers to receive a signed bookplate and art print!

Overview:

A demi-fey gets abducted and taken to a spy school where she’s trained to fight an evil fey king in this first book in the riveting contemporary romantasy Fey Academy for Spies trilogy that’s Fourth Wing meets Arthurian legend.

Avalon Academy rules: spy on your enemies, resist temptation, and try not to die in the process.

Bookseller Nia has saved up for years for her dream vacation: drinking champagne on a beach with her favorite books. But her dream turns into a nightmare when she’s kidnapped by a muscular, tattooed jerk of a fey named Raphael.

Yes, kidnapped.

It turns out Nia has a rare power that allows her to cross the magical barrier separating the human world from the feys’, making her an invaluable asset in the fight against the evil fey king. So, whether Nia wants to or not, Raphael demands that she train at Avalon Academy, Camelot’s elite school for spies whose agents are pivotal to the war effort. But Nia is in way over her head—asthmatic and out of shape. She’ll be lucky to get out of there alive.

Still, there’s no escape when Raphael is watching her every move. He’s lethal, arrogant, and hot as hell. And with every dangerous mission they’re sent on together, he becomes harder to resist. But romance is forbidden at the academy—a distracted spy is a dead spy. Touching him is playing with fire. Is she ready to get burned?

Dark dystopian? Check. Enemies to lovers? Check. Marriage is convenience? Check.

đź–¤ Preorder Wild Silver and Lead by Lexie Axelson to receive a vellum overlay, sticker and signed bookplate! Available now on our website.

Overview:

In a world undone by a terrifying virus, a fierce female survivor and a cruel military captain fight the living, the dead, and their lethal desire in this genre-shattering dark dystopian romance.

I survived ten years after the Raven virus turned the dead into monsters. Then elite soldier Slade Reece put a bullet through my chest.

I was searching for my family, torn from me in a raid, when the ruthless ex–Delta Force captain found me. He should have left me to die. Instead, he dragged me to his military base, where a lethal, classified armed force guards civilization in the frozen North. Outsiders are forbidden. Ex*****on is the penalty.

Our chance encounter ignited an obsession he can’t control. His solution? Marriage―the only way to keep me alive. The deal: my body for his protection, help finding my family for my vows.

I should hate him―I do―but hate turns to fire as he kills anyone who threatens me.

Falling for Slade is blurring everything I know about survival. But now his enemies have discovered my existence―and they’re hunting me. I must choose: the family I’ve lost, or the devil who’s claimed me.

Preorder now on our website!

Overview:
Neve Snowe doesn’t need to settle down. She is already settled in her small harbor town, with a cozy beach cottage and part ownership in the family-run auto repair shop. She doesn’t want a man, but she likes them. And she has one golden rule: only sleep with flatlanders. You know, the guys who never intend to stay in Lovewell Landing, only use the coastal area for a brief holiday.

And the last thing she desired was the unexpected . . . to be expecting.

Tate Love spent his summers in Lovewell Landing as a teenager, but somehow he’d missed the beautiful girl who turned into a spunky woman, daring him to jump into the icy ocean one New Year’s Eve, then slept with him near the town’s sacred well, holding spell-binding waters.

He never thought he’d see her again, until nine months later, a business prospect brings him back to the area.

Now, the man who longs to be tied down finds that one night planted the seed to everything he ever wanted, while he holds the pen that could sign away all she’s ever loved.

Welcome to Lovewell Landing, where autumn is in the air, pumpkins decorate every doorstep, and a little fiasco might cause opposites to fall in love.
