As a necromancer, homicide Detective Ayameko “Meko” Shi is used to being unwanted, unloved and hated by all beings, especially vampires. Vampire King Nikolai is a centuries-old ruler whose name alone strikes fear in anyone around him. Ruthless and enigmatic, he’s used to solving problems with blood deaths. But lately, two things haunt him: the mysterious disappearance of his kind… and the necromancer he swore to kill but can’t seem to stay away from. When Nikolai offers Meko a deal she can’t refuse, she’s thrust into his world as his fiancée. Together, they must find the missing vampires in a city full of the dead.

On All Hallows Eve, the Red King and the Gray Queen will unite in matrimony, tying vampires and necromancers forever. Ayameko Shi never imagined she’d find herself in a situation like this. How could anyone anticipate her needs before she does? After a lifetime of loss and horror, she never thought she’d meet a man willing to protect her with his life, killing anyone who dares to stand in their way. Vampire King Nikolai is violent, bloodthirsty, and certifiable. Ayameko is his, she has been since the moment they met. But even the wedding of the undead can’t go smoothly

This haunting/erotic tale of power, obsession, and forbidden love will be brought to life through duet-style narration by Star Williams and Aquarian. A performance that promises to capture every ounce of tension, heat, and danger lurking within Hollow Ocean.

Your support will help us bring this dark, sensual mystery to life with the high-quality production it deserves. It’ll be a listening experience fans won’t soon forget.

Mia has always sensed something just out of reach, like a word on the tip of her tongue, or a dream forgotten too soon.

On her twenty-first birthday, she wakes with no memory of the night before. It isn’t the first time. Blackouts. Visions. A growing feeling that she doesn’t fully belong in the life she’s living. When her parents confess she’s adopted, with no record of where she came from, the unease sharpens into something else, a pull she can’t ignore.

Then she meets a stranger, and everything begins to unravel—a history Mia never knew, a city hidden from the world, and a journey that will take her beyond the world she thought she belonged to.

Eterna was once a place of wonder, a city that never stopped blooming. Now, the magic that sustained it is fading. The land is cracking. And Mia may be more entangled in its fate than anyone is prepared to admit.

With her best friend by her side, and resentment simmering among those she meets—especially a man whose bitterness runs deeper than she understands—Mia must now navigate a world that remembers her, even if she doesn’t remember it.

Some answers come looking for you.
Some places never let you go.
And some destinies are written long before you’re ready to claim them.

Jack is a prisoner. To save him, Sav Briar did the unthinkable: wed Kaspar—kelpie prince, once her safest harbor—and reclaimed the magic her sister stole.

When Kaspar learns where Sav’s heart truly lies, will he be ally or foe? Once the only fae Sav could trust, now Kaspar holds her true name, and with it the power to turn vows into chains.

Faerie frays at the edges, whole villages disappearing, and Sav must decide whether she’s willing to sacrifice herself and those she loves to save her world.

Obviously, caffeine is an important part of his life.

Ergi Thusol-Von Klempt is a half-orc who works in the infamous Goblin Market, selling magical pastries to those who need them – or, in Diff’s case, just want them. He’s got bubblegum-pink hair, lovely lilac skin, and a smile like sunshine, at least if you ask Diff. Ergi is intrigued by his frazzled, but handsome, frequent customer.

The Goblin Market is a magical space that anyone can find if they truly need it, and most people visit once or twice if at all. Diff is there several times a week as he untangles the layered mysteries of the Rift, and has had years to develop his crush on Ergi.

In this cozy urban fantasy, Diff and Ergi find some solutions to life’s problems in the Market, along with the courage to talk to each other.

Diff might even find a future beyond the Rift that has consumed over a decade of his life.

“Sexy. Unputdownable. Viciously funny.”

A razor-sharp romantic mystery about money, mayhem, and the price of ambition — perfect for fans of Nightshade and Legally Blonde.

They say all fortunes come with a curse. I should’ve believed them.

A few days ago, I was just Vera: law student, scholarship kid, newest intern at the prestigious Saidi firm. I had plans, ambition, and the perfect date lined up with the campus golden boy.
Then I woke up to find a suitcase full of money at the foot of my bed—and a note. I had seventy-two hours to spend it all and leave no trace… or risk losing everything.

At first, I thought it was a joke. Then strange things started happening. Secret clubs I was somehow connected to. Questions I couldn’t answer. A high-society family with a dark past. And then there were them:
Bastian Saidi—my boss’s infuriating, dangerously magnetic nephew, whose smile hides more secrets than his family fortune. And Enzo Woods—charming, elusive, and far too good at making trouble look beautiful.

Somewhere between expensive dinners, sleepless nights, and impossible choices, I started to realise the truth: this isn’t a prank. It’s a test—one that could destroy me, or make me into something else entirely.
Because in this world, money is never free, and love might be the most expensive thing of all… after the price we pay for our lies, of course.

This sharp, darkly hilarious romantic thriller is perfect for readers who love morally grey love interests, rivals with insane chemistry, high-stakes secrets, billionaire drama, and heroines who are a little too smart for their own good.

But I know that every storm hides a calm at its core. And I think I’ve found his.

The only question is if it will be the end of me.

REICH

I was made to destroy monsters. But she isn’t one of them. Instead, she’s the complication that could ruin everything.
Sage Holquinn is untamed, broken, and reckless enough to trespass on my property without realizing whose territory she’s stepped into. I should’ve turned her away. But distance is no longer an option.
She thinks she’s escaping the darkness.
She doesn’t realize she’s running straight into mine.
