"Pretending to fall might come with benefits . . . until the very end.
Kat is terrified of almost everything except demons, not since they rescued her from slavers and gave her a proper job, unspoiled food, and a consistent roof over her head. Hidden away at the post, she can’t bungle conversations or draw derision with her scarred face. But when her sister insists they flee their new untroublesome life, Kat is determined to prove they belong.
And who better to assist with belonging than a carefree demon who’s never glided into a room he didn’t immediately possess? As an adept magician from an aristocratic family, Azrion appears to have it all: talent, prestige, wealth. But just as the night sky changes, so does his fate—his mate breaks off their tenuous courtship, and that bodes ill for everything, including his father’s approval. The stars also brought humans to his city, and he’s convinced any one of them will inspire enough jealousy to win back his ex. If only he could predict what would come of choosing Kat.
With a contract for their fraudulent courtship in place, Kat and Azrion agree to play at being mates. It’s a risky game, but it comes with more coin than Kat can count and the promise to reclaim Azrion’s orderly life. Perhaps coin loses a bit of its shine when held beside the brilliance of a certain demon’s grin, and maybe order isn’t quite so appealing when up against the delightful peculiarities of a specific human, but actually falling for each other wasn’t part of the deal. After all, when has a deal with a demon ever gone wrong?"
"An elite private college. A hidden world. A devastating slow-burn that will leave you wrecked.
Twenty-year-old Anna was already different before her mother was murdered—and before she vanished for a year she can’t remember. When her former mentor returns, Anna embarks on a dangerous journey to Nightfall Castle, the mysterious private college her mother once attended, desperate for answers about her past—and the dormant power she’s ignored her entire life.
But Nightfall is not an ordinary college.
Something is terribly wrong within the castle’s ancient corridors. Initiates are disappearing, and the Aurkai—Nightfall’s most elite—know more than they’re willing to say. Blake, the most alluring and dangerous of the Aurkai, may be the key to uncovering Nightfall’s secrets—or the reason she never escapes them.
As the danger closes in, Anna realizes she may be next, and the truth behind Nightfall may cost her everything.
Discover the truth hidden within Nightfall Castle in this dark, seductive debut of The Cursed Realm Saga. A true genre bender you won’t want to miss!"
"How much of memory is truth, and how much is a story we tell ourselves?
No longer a prisoner of Valen’s compulsion, Georgia’s mind is restored. But her memories of everyone around her are at war. Which Valen is the real one? The Valen who does Gregor’s murderous bidding or the one whose heated touch makes her question everything? Which Juno is her sister? The Juno who was always there for her, or the Juno who betrayed her?
Nothing is clear except the inevitable end. Hope dwindles as humanity’s future fades into endless night, but Georgia refuses to give up. Her dogged determination may be the only thing standing between the world and annihilation. But saving lives in this dark new world has a high price, and more often than not, it’s paid in blood."
"Alchemist. Poisoner. Reluctant Queen.
Wren Embervale knows her duty demands a crown, even if it means a strategic betrothal to the influential Lord Darian Devereux. Their arranged marriage promises the formidable army she needs to wrestle her kingdom from the clutches of the tyrannical usurper, Silas. Yet, Wren’s heart still belongs to Torj Elderbrock, her soul-bonded Warsword.
Torn between her pragmatic alliance and the visceral pull of her bond with Torj, Wren must navigate a treacherous landscape of courtly intrigue and looming war. As Silas’s shadow alchemy tightens its grip on the midrealms and a creeping poison steals Torj’s strength, Wren’s carefully constructed facade begins to crack. Can she play the dutiful fiancée to secure her throne, while her body and soul yearns for the warrior who would lay down his life for her? Or will the tangled threads of political necessity leave her kingdom—and her heart—in ashes?
From the Sunday Times bestselling author of Iron & Embers, Silver & Smoke is the blistering finale to the Ashes of Thezmarr series."

Valen becomes Georgia’s only source for the lifesaving blood dubbed “Juno’s Miracle.” Focused on her work, she doesn’t realize his claws are sinking deeper and deeper as he traps her in his twisted grasp.

On the brink of another war, and overwhelmed by the force of their feelings for one another, Torj discovers there is far more to their bond than mere passion.

"A dark mafia romance where love is a risk and trust is a trap, where passions run high and so do the stakes.
BIANCA
Vaughn promised safety from the monsters chasing us, but his protective obsession quickly becomes my prison. The longer we run, the more I realize I’m not just chased by monsters—I’m trapped with one.
When he crosses a line, I run straight to his biggest enemy, Carter Willard. That's where I meet Ryder, the enigmatic tech genius with a gaze that pierces right through me.
Trust is a luxury I can't afford. Ryder’s presence is a dangerous thrill I've avoided all my life, yet his touch strips away my defenses and ignites a fire deep within—a fire that tempts me to risk everything.
But as Winter turns to Summer, secrets unravel, and the past returns, throwing us into chaos.
RYDER
Bianca was just a task. Another target to track… until she wasn't. I've watched her on screens for weeks, thinking I knew her before we ever met, but she's far from what I expected.
Cold, calculated, independent—far from what I crave, yet irresistible. Our interactions are a clash of wills. Every defiant glance she sends my way, every argument, every glimpse behind her mask tests my limits until we cross a line.
What’s supposed to be a one-night stand turns into many more. Feelings grow, masks drop, and just when I think I have it all, old threats emerge.
I'm forced to confront a new reality: Bianca isn't just someone I need to protect; she's someone I refuse to lose."
"Only she knows the secret of what happened that night…
Trapped in an upside-down castle, Georgia is met at every turn by a creature as cruel and vicious as his vampire kin. Valen, the cursed lord of the manor, is the monstrous minotaur lurking at the center of Georgia’s maze. He stalks her steps, his gaze forever on her as she desperately searches for escape. He wants her memories, memories that are just as lost to her as she is to the outside world.
Valen has no intention of ever letting her go, not when she is the key to his ascendency to the vampire throne. He desires nothing more than her secrets. Not her entrancing eyes, her soft skin, her coursing blood. Once he breaks her apart and extracts her memories, he’ll be done with the mortal who haunts his days and nights, who dances just outside his grasp, who defies him at every turn.
But fate looks different in the light of day, and night can’t obscure the truth forever…
House of Night is a full-length dark gothic romance and is the first of the House of Night trilogy. This series is for readers who enjoy dark, atmospheric elements, horrormance, and an engrossing plot that drags you in and refuses to let you claw your way out."
"Luka Woods
I’m a creature of concrete and metal. Skyscrapers and glass. Killer angles and sharp edges. I like it that way, especially given my penchant for going up against some of the worst of the worst as part of my government hacking work. I’ve never wanted soft, not until I met June. She’s my opposite, everything I’ve avoided, everything I thought I didn’t want. I was so, so wrong.
Her smart mouth and sweet demeanor, the way she gets under my skin and sends heat swirling through my veins—she’s more than I deserve, but I’m a man who always gets what I want. When she runs from me, I’ll chase her down and make her mine. Forever."
"The ruby Heart is split, and so am I.
Cav, Kaspian, Axe, and Wilder: my lovers, my protectors, my doom. Each touch binds me tighter to their cause, even as I uncover the brutal truth of the Cimmerian Court.
We're racing to find both halves of a jewel never meant to be whole. But with each clue deciphered, each forbidden location unearthed, I realize the true cost of our quest.
The Sovereigns' hunger for the Heart grows with each passing day. Their endgame? A ritual that will consume everything—including the men I've grown to love.
As I delve deeper into my family's dark history and unravel the web of lies surrounding the Heart, I'm hurtling towards a choice that terrifies me.
In order to save my men, I might have to offer the Sovereigns exactly what they've sought all along.
Shattered Jewel is the delicious conclusion to the Cimmerian Court duet, a spicy, boys-obsessed, dark romance by bestselling author Ketley Allison."
"I should have run before they caught me.
I'm just trying to survive my sophomore year at college.
Now I'm caught in the crosshairs of four men who leave terror in their wake: Cav, Kaspian, Axe, and Wilder.
They stalk the halls of TFU, their presence marked by unexplained disappearances and hushed fears.
The puppeteer, the bogeyman, the phantom, and the hellhound.
They want something from me, something I don't even know I have. A jewel, they say, tied to my family's past and drenched in centuries of violence.
I should run. I should scream.
Instead, I'm falling for them all.
Wicked Court is a spicy, boys-obsessed, gothic dark romance by bestselling author Ketley Allison and is the first in a 2-book series."
"“I’ve made no secret of what I want… You. It’s always been you.”
Wren Embervale, alchemist-turned-assassin, finds solace in only one thing: seeking vengeance for the death of her friends. The wars of the past may be over, but her thirst for revenge is far from quenched.
For years, she has been content with her poisons and potions for company, but when an unknown form of alchemy is used to attack a king of the midrealms, Wren’s time in the shadows comes to an end.

More is at play than sabotage from fellow competitors. Magic wielders are being targeted and Wren becomes tangled in a dangerous web of deception and bloodshed that puts the entire realm at risk.
But the biggest threat of all might come from the man assigned to protect her—Torj Elderbrock, the silver-haired war hero who has hated her since she assassinated his last charge.
Their shared history ignites a simmering tension that threatens to consume them both.
