"Banishing vengeful spirits from the mortal realm is Holly's day job, but she's never had to ghost anyone before - until Callum breaks her heart, making her wish she could exorcise her ex from her life.
It's been two years since professional ghost-whisperer Holly Daniels ghosted Callum Jefferies - successful paranormal podcast host, unsuccessful boyfriend. So when he reaches out asking for her help investigating the infamous East Mill haunted house, Holly is hesitant to get involved, despite his infuriating charm. But the house in question calls to her, and she can't resist.
When they arrive in East Mill - and take up adjoining rooms at a rundown bed and breakfast - something in the air stirs up old feelings. If only the local ghosts would give Holly some peace and quiet to work out what those feelings are…
As their investigation unfolds, Holly and Callum unearth a string of mysterious deaths linked to the house - one of which is bound up with East Mill's very own seventeenth-century witch trials. But Callum is hiding something, and as disturbing details emerge about the family who once occupied the house, Holly realises she will have to put her life - and her psychic powers - on the line if she and Callum are going to get out of East Mill alive.

"What started out as a night of fun at a Vegas hotspot somehow turned into saying 'I Do' by an Elvis impersonator.
If you think that's bad, it gets worse. My new husband lied to me and told me he ran a not-for-profit. That couldn't be further from the truth. Imagine my surprise when I realized I married one of the best tight ends in the league. Did I mention my uncle owns the team?
If you think things couldn't get any more complicated, our plans to get an annulment are unexpectedly put on hold. So, now I'm trapped in this unforeseen marriage until we can find a way out. He assured me not to worry, proposing a temporary solution—move in with him and keep our relationship a secret.
Except, the more I get to know my husband, the more I want to stay married, especially when he calls me—'his wife.'
But life doesn't always go as planned, especially when my uncle intercepts our news before we have a chance to tell him.
Now his spot on the team is at risk, my heart is on the line, and the fallout could cost us everything.

"Six human women—betrayed by their own, only to be rescued by the very demons they were taught to fear—find themselves trapped in a harrowing, magical city.
But the cautionary tales were wrong, and they’re quick to learn demons don’t inspire terror but temptation…
When a human’s fury meets a demon’s fire, hatred isn’t the only thing to ignite.
Stolen from her prison cell and sold to slavers, Ember’s anger is all she has left to survive the nightmarish Achreos Barrens and its demonic inhabitants. Never mind her tenderly healed wounds and cozy cottage confines, she’s still being treated like a criminal. Her warden is a hardened soldier so hateful of humans that Ember stands no chance at exoneration. Sure, there may be moments when her demon jailor’s domestic ineptitude is endearing and his presence feels startlingly like security, but neither will stop her from provoking him and his disgusting tail.
Squadron leader Severath has failed at his sole duty to protect his home. Burdened with guarding a killer and coping with the loss of an eye and horn, he’s rewarded only with the human’s ire. Judgment should be simple since she’s pleaded guilty, but her unbridled hostility feels like a façade. He should be fighting to reclaim his position on the guard and his solitary life rather than verbally sparring with such a menace, but he never thought his home could be so lively or that he might enjoy having a minuscule murderess torment him at every turn.
Ember and Severath soon discover the border between animosity and affection is as thin as the veil between the human and demon worlds. Confined in close quarters, the two are forced to share their truths and confront their aversions to intimacy. But falling for a demon is dangerous, especially with Ember’s pending trial and Severath’s uncertain career. Will they land safely in the arms of their fledgling love or spiral into shared loathing?
Falling for Demons is a fantasy monster romance series set in a cozy and spicy shared world by authors Laura Winter and A.K. Caggiano. Each book can be read as a standalone novel but is interconnected, following six human women and their budding romances with the demons they once feared as they settle into a monstrously magical world."

"Celebrated authoress Lady Georgiana Cleeve has achieved fame and fortune. Unfortunately, she's also acquired an enemy: the enigmatic Lady Darling, whose spine-tingling plots appear to be pulled straight from Georgiana's own manuscripts. What's a stubborn, steely writer to do? Unmask her rival, of course.

Cat Lacey has spent a decade clawing her family out of poverty. The last thing she needs is to be distracted by the stunning(ly pretentious) Lady Georgiana Cleeve. But Cat can't seem to escape her infuriatingly beautiful rival-including at the eerie manor where they both plan to set their next books.

Fake engaged, I might add, but Jacob seems to forget that little part as he tears down wall after wall surrounding my cold, beaten-up heart. He is everything I am not and never knew I wanted but now? The blonde Viking, aka town goofball, is my fix, my drug, and medicine.
Why did you choose me?
Because you piss me off the best . . .

"Levi: Life as an NFL player has always been fast-paced, but nothing prepared me for becoming the guardian of my godson, Duncan. With his grandmother contesting custody, I need to prove that I'm a steadfast influence who's not going anywhere and there's one sure-fire way to show that: get engaged.
With my not-so-secret crush Georgie on board to play the part, we tell ourselves it's a practical solution. But when I see her connection with Duncan, I see a different side of her that I didn't know existed and I only want more. Could this fake engagement be the real deal?
Georgie: When my best friend needs a fake fiancé to prove he's a stable guardian for his godson, I jump at the chance. Does it help that I also have a huge crush on him?

Then the unthinkable happens. A huge misstep on my part, thanks to my big mouth, leads to a major slip-up and I manage to jeopardize everything––including his custody battle. Will this mistake cost me the chance at true love I've been waiting for?"

"American photographer Tara Lynch has never wanted anything more than to visit Ireland—but her itinerary didn't include chasing peacocks around a wildlife park! On the other hand, it didn't include meeting a tall, handsome Irishman and falling head over heels for him in a heartbeat, either, so it might be time for Tara to re-think what makes a perfect holiday.
Peacock shifter Declan McCarthy, a local artist, certainly didn't expect to meet his fated mate during an afternoon at the park, but when his secret shifter self is revealed to Tara the very first time they meet, he wants nothing more to sweep her off her feet. Tara is more than willing to be swept—but there's a wicked fashion designer stealing peacock feathers straight off the birds at the park, and both Declan and Tara are determined to put a stop to it.
When Tara accidentally convinces the thief that she's a 'peacock whisperer,' they realize they have the chance to scare the woman straight—and Declan's peacock has a few giant ideas on how to do that!
Set against the backdrop of Ireland's beautiful Blarney Castle, this charming, funny romcom with no cliffhangers is a cuppa for the soul!"
"One good scandal deserves another…
Lady Alexandrina Lawson has never minded her widowhood. After the disaster that was her first marriage, she found it rather enjoyable, despite the pity she received. What the public saw as devoted mourning to a respected man was, in fact, a complete disinterest in participating in anything Society could offer her ever again. When an invitation to a cousin's London event proves disastrous for Alexandrina, her reputation, and that of her child, her choice becomes simple: rescue or ruin.
Enter Taft Debenham, Earl of Harwood.
Taft could not have less interest in Lady Lawson or her cold manner, but neither could he stand by and let her suffer a forced marriage to a drunken idiot. Sacrificing himself on the altar of Society, thinking how his own reputation might benefit, he provides a rather clever solution: marry the woman himself, and claim outrage for the offenses against her. Over the protests of his bride, and those of his own sanity, Taft begins the greatest scheme he could ever imagine. Nothing surprises him more than beginning to discover that his wife has a heart beneath her icy exterior.
And that he would do almost anything to claim it."
