Javier sees her and barely contains his anger that she was obviously beaten. When his inner direwolf jumps for Isabell, Luke makes him responsible for her care.
Fox makes the newly formed Druid pack an offer they can’t refuse when he asks his old friend to be raised as the Ri ruirech, the overking so he can be fully Ruiri once again and set his queen free. Innocence and forbidden love make this a sinfully steamy romance for adults only! Dreams of Fire by Christian Cura

Emery Belmont is a snarky realist who likes his life ordinary. Like any skeptic, he’s content using mundane explanations to write off signs of paranormal activity. That’s no longer an option when the spirit haunting his house wrecks his new kitchen, forcing Emery to face the supernatural truth. Desperate for a new handyman, he unknowingly hires his hot ex-rival from high school to fix it. Paxton Santos, Emery’s former lacrosse team captain, followed in his father’s footsteps to take over the family business. Annoyingly, Emery requires his talented hands more than he needs to keep Paxton out of his life. However, getting Paxton to leave after the repairs may prove difficult with the meddlesome ghost taking a shine to him, which Paxton seems to take in his grating, good-natured stride, remaining irritatingly unruffled by numerous weird occurrences.
Emery is bombarded by paranormal hijinks, keeping Paxton at arm’s length, and solving an inescapable mystery. There’s nothing Emery hates more than an unfinished puzzle. In his determination to solve this one, Emery reluctantly opens himself up to new possibilities all while trying to remain firmly rooted in life the way he prefers it—orderly, logically explainable, and, above all else, ghost-free.
Join Emery and Paxton as they face off with a spirit that has no limits to how far it will go to push them together, enduring locked doors, faulty plumbing, and sharing a bed. Together they are determined to navigate their way out of this mess using any means necessary to send the ghost packing. Will they make it out of the traps awaiting them before their pesky tormenter gets any other ideas to make things worse and further blur the line between them?
Matchmaking Beyond the Veil is a 100k slow burn MM romance tale of rivals to friends to lovers. Featuring a meddling ghost playing at matchmaker, forced proximity, bed sharing, ghost tours that totally aren’t dates, and tongue-in-cheek humor. This story ends on a HFN ending with a soft cliffhanger. Emery and Paxton’s story will continue in Telltale Ghosts Book 2. This book contains denial, two men experimenting with sex magic, fighting what the heart wants, and steamy explicit sexual scenes and colorful language intended for adults 18 and older.
Lost Boys Bar & Grill by C.C. Dowling
The last hope to save Faerie from Elven invaders is Peter Pan and his Lost Boys assassins.
That’s what Princess Lara believes. Problem is, the Lost Boys were exiled to Earth—a magicless, unforgiving land where humans plant cement rather than gardens and worship technology over nature. It’s the last place Lara wants to go, but with an evil warlord nipping at her wings, she has no other choice.
Medically discharged from the Army, Deryk Quinn is no stranger to pain. He not only lost his leg, but also the future wife he thought he’d have. Jaded, he isn’t interested in being hurt again. But when a mysterious woman appears out of nowhere and heals him with her blood, he’s pretty sure she isn’t a woman at all. Humans don’t glow blue and silver, and the markings now covering him are straight out of a fairy tale.
Before Deryk can confront Lara about her origins, and his growing feelings, she’s taken by an enemy that would see Faerie burn. Armed with answers he doesn’t want and knowledge of the truth about his past, Deryk must convince Peter Pan and his assassins to fight for Faerie or he’ll lose the world he never knew he belonged to, and the woman he’d give his life for.
Lost Boys Bar & Grill is a darkly twisted fairy tale romance filled with action and a guaranteed HEA. Author’s note: This isn’t your childhood fairy tale. The action is intense, and there are elements of torture. If you want something light and fun-hearted, this isn’t the story for you.
Hieronymus Jones and the teacup squid by Michael Palmer-Cryle
Hieronymus Jones was a strange boy, a hair past fifteen, tall and pale with jet black hair, dark brown eyes and a very peculiar kind of mind. If he was not the smartest thing on the planet, he was a very close second. He had secrets, dark and terrible, wonderful and pure. Secrets of hidden worlds with lost people, that were not entirely human. Most unusually, he held secrets… of magic.When Hieronymus Jones saw Gertrude Green for the first time, he sat up a little straighter in his seat. She was an odd girl with a smattering of freckles across her pale skin, impossibly red hair and perfect green eyes. She too had secrets. Together they would discover a connection to each other, far deeper than either could have imagined. Mysterious pendants, evil twisted mounds of monstrous flesh and school bullies are one thing, but when a small unimpressed squid makes a nest in Hieronymus’s cup of tea, something clearly needs to be done. Honestly, this is TEA we are talking about, don’t these creatures have any manners?The first book in a fantasy romance series, awash with bleeding edge technology, magic, humor and hideous tentacle laden, Lovecraftian nightmares, that are coming to kill the world… woot.

The Witch and the Christian by M. Benjamin Woodall
For Clarity Putnam, turning 16 in 17th Century Salem Village means marrying Jacob. Her adolescence is over before it begins. That is, until she meets Victor.
Victor is adventurous, reckless, free-spirited… everything about her that now must give way to adulthood. The only problem being, Victor is a Witch.
Victor is not in the Devil’s Service, like the Witches that killed Clarity’s sister years before. But Clarity has never heard of a Green Witch, as Victor calls himself, and neither have the Magistrates of Salem Village, who seek to eradicate him and all wickedness in Salem, now that the truce between the Witches and Christians is over. And Jacob will stop at nothing to see Victor discredited and hung.
So Clarity must choose. If she chooses Victor over Jacob, there can only be two endings to this tale: a tragedy of the likes of Romeo and Juliet, or a Happily For Now conclusion that comes with a departure from the world Clarity knows.
This tale of two star-crossed lovers will take you on a trip to a terrifying world you never knew existed, where love is the greatest magic of all.
