This Christmas, in the romantic Scottish Highlands, a white lie and a fake-dating proposal between exes snowballs out of control in the brand-new festive romance from Emily Stone.

Christmas with your ex and his family in a cosy cottage in the snowy Scottish Highlands? It’s the last place Mel imagined spending the holidays. But when her ex-boyfriend Finn shows up on her doorstep, only months after inexplicably dumping her at his sister’s engagement party, asking her to pretend to his family they’re back together, she agrees – on one condition. Mel can publicly dump Finn at the end of the week and show him just how it feels. But with Finn’s mother set on making this Christmas picture-perfect, can Mel and Finn keep up the act without falling back into old feelings? As their white lie snowballs out of control, and the ice between them starts to thaw, Mel must decide if she really wants their romance to be just for the season – or something more…

Cover Reveal: A Claim to Murder – Jean G. Goodhind

ramblingmads

Life couldn’t be sweeter for Honey Driver, floating around the Med on her own private yacht, with her dishy detective husband Steve.
But dark clouds are gathering on Honey’s perfect horizon. And the forecast looks like
murder!

When Honey’s love boat sinks in a freak accident, she has no choice but to return to rain-drenched Bath. But now that Honey needs him, her insurance broker, silver-tongued Norman Glendower, is nowhere to be found.
He’s not at his luxury offices in town and he’s not answering his phone.
Honey could kill Norman for leaving her in this fix. But what if someone got there first?

Behind the gates of leafy Regency Gardens, the exclusive complex where Norman lives, something is terribly amiss. Norman’s mewling cat leads a curious neighbour straight to his dead body!
He’s been bludgeoned and left for dead on the pristine tiles of his designer kitchen. Which of his many enemies was the one to strike the fatal blow?

Honey’s on the case — with a killer watching her every move . . .

Jean, the alter ego of bestselling historical author Lizzie Lane, has lived in and around the Bath area for some time and was indeed a member of Bath Hotels and Restaurants Association — so well in touch with the hospitality trade in that fair city. However, unlike Bath hotelier Honey
Driver, she was never asked to be Crime Liaison Officer and neither does she collect antique underwear! However, her daughter assures her she is just as zany as the quirky Honey Driver and will never grow old gracefully.

Cover Reveal: Jeweller to the Blessed – Jillian Witt

ramblingmads

We have an absolutely gorgeous cover reveal for you all today! Check out Jeweler to the Blessed by Jillian Witt! You’re going to want to pre-order this one!

Jeweler to the Blessed (Champions of Chaos #1)

Expected Release Date: Aug 19th

Genre: Romantic Fantasy

– Bodyguard romance
– Succubus like mood ring magic
– Meddling goddesses
– Deadly forest
– Touch her and die

In a kingdom where touch drains emotions for power, Emberline masks hers, but when she becomes the key to the Blessed’s magic, her broad-shouldered, irreverent guard could make her feel too much.

His touch would be her undoing.

With a single touch, the ruling Blessed could realize Emberline Arkova is immune to their magic. She’s determined to leave the kingdom in search of answers, because every day she remains is a risk.

But her uncle’s sudden disappearance upends her plans. Thrust into his role as jeweler, she’s gone from avoiding the Blessed to becoming the center of their world. Uniquely able to identify the gems required for their magic, she’s now their most precious resource.

To protect their prize, Hart, a broad-shouldered guard with particular irreverence, is assigned to keep Emberline safe. His motives may be murky at best, but he’s not as loyal to the king as a Blessed should be, and now, putting her trust in him is her best bet to escape without discovery.

Hart may be one of them, but he awakens long-restrained feelings within Emberline. She can’t fall for a Blessed; his touch would expose her secret. But as she unearths the mysteries of magic and politics in the isolated and restless kingdom, Emberline is faced with a choice: flee her fate and hide her feelings—or embrace it and unleash them.

The swoon-worthy tension of From Blood and Ash meets One Dark Window’s unique magic system and rich world-building in this new adult romantasy.

Cover Reveal: Wicked Onyx – Debbie Cassidy

ramblingmads

We’re thrilled to present the cover for Wicked Onyx, the first book in The Veritas series by Debbie Cassidy!

Wicked Onyx (The Veritas Legacy #1)

Expected Release Date: February 10, 2026

Genre: Dark Academia/ Romantasy

You don’t graduate Nightsbridge Academy—you survive it.

Born into a sorcerer bloodline, cursed, and cut off from my power, I was accustomed to being an outcast. For generations, my bloodline carried the weight of a crime committed by our ancestor. But my mother’s death changed everything. She left a clue that could prove our innocence: an ancient text hidden deep beneath Nightsbridge Academy.

The Academy is a fortress of power, housing the most dangerous incantors and sorcerers, conscripted to keep Horrors and Echoes at bay. And as the last surviving Onyx, I’m owed admission.

My plan is simple—find the book and expose the Imperium as the liars they are.

But I didn’t plan for the whispers that haunt my dreams. Or the complication of feelings I shouldn’t be capable of—stirred by two men bound to the very institution I’ve come to destroy. One sees too much yet says too little. The other is steady, protective, and always in my corner.

I can’t have either.

Yet when I’m in their presence…my curse begins to crack.

If they discover my true purpose, I’m dead.

But some truths are worth dying for.

The Imperium cursed my bloodline. Stripped us of our magic. Branded us as traitors. And now they will pay.

R&R Book Tours proudly presents the cover for The Frost Witch by Emberly Ash! You can pre-order this gorgeous dark romantasy now!

The Frost Witch (The Covenants of Velora Book 1)

Expected Release Date: August 5, 2025

Genre: Dark Romantasy

  • Enemies to lovers
  • Why choose
  • Witches
  • MCs bonded against their will
  • Dragons
  • Slow-burn spice
  • Found family
  • Shifters
  • Tall/Short MMC/FMC
  • Deadly trials
  • Meddling gods
  • Mental health rep
  • Forbidden love
  • Fae

Witches are not born. They are made.

I died alone in a frostbitten forest. It was not heroic. I did not die defending an innocent or hunting to feed my loved ones. I died because I was stupid and cowardly. I died running away. And that would have been the end of my story. Until the witches found me and made me one of their own.

Outcast by her coven more than three hundred years after her resurrection, Koryn faces certain doom. Without her coven’s magic to sustain her, she will wither away to nothing. But earning back their trust means betraying the last living member of her family—the family whose downfall came at Koryn’s own hands.

Offered a bargain she cannot refuse…

Four hundred years ago, the gods sentenced the continent of Velora to death. Now Koryn must make a desperate final bid to save Velora—and herself—by passing each test posed at the Seven Gates. Nothing less will prove her worth to her coven or save her family.

To make matters worse, she finds herself bound against her will to Garrick the Red, a legendary bounty hunter with a secret that makes him not just her rival, but her bitter enemy. She does not need him to protect her—Koryn stands alone.

But when an adolescent dragon appears from the forest and declares herself Koryn’s familar, her understanding of the world begins to shift. Koryn’s choices do not just affect her, but all the residents of a dying, desperate land.

Faced with a devastating choice…

For every gate she conquers, Koryn’s world grows more precarious. A deadly warrior turned bonded protector and forbidden lover. An adolescent dragon entrusted to her care. A powerful male from her past calling in a debt she is not ready to pay. And vengeful gods who demand their due, and force the frost witch to choose—her coven, her love, her dragon… or her soul.

Emberly Ash returns with an all new dark romantasy series perfect for fans of Sadie Kincaid, Carissa Broadbent, and Raven Kennedy. THE FROST WITCH is an epic dark fantasy romance with enemies to lovers, multiple bonded love interests, witches, an adolescent dragon, slow-burn spice, found family, and an expansive world of gods, shifters, and blood magic. The heat builds with each installment in this trilogy—have a cold drink ready. This universe is not for the faint of heart.

Cover Reveal: Wolfsbane Hall – Hazel St. Lewis

ramblingmads

This cover is such a vibe!

We’re proud to present the cover for Wolfsbane Hall by Hazel St. Lewis. You can pre-order this beauty now!

Wolfsbane Hall

Expected Release Date: October 21, 2025

Genre: Adult Romantasy-Thriller

-Hidden Identities

-Shadow Daddy

-Three Villain Daddies

-Dueling Phantoms

-Love Square

-Forced Proximity

-Sentient House

-Twists

An actress at a magical murder mystery party where everything is real—including the murder—is poisoned and must unmask her killer by the end of the show or stay dead forever.

Actress Celestine Sinclair works at the infamous Wolfsbane Hall, a 1930s San Francisco murder-mystery nightclub. The shows are designed by the Specter, the cloaked owner of the club and the source of all its magic. His den of nightmares is governed by one rule: every murder must be solved, for then and only then will the dead come back to life. Every night, someone dies and, hopefully, is also resurrected.

One night Wolfsbane Hall is taken over by the Specter’s nemesis, who intends to destroy everything the Specter loves—including Celestine. As part of his twisted game, he poisons and challenges Celestine to unmask the Specter’s true identity before the poison destroys her. Only, Wolfsbane Hall has existed for hundreds of years without anyone uncovering its owner’s name.

The three prime suspects are all handsome, socialite gentlemen who are just devilish enough to be the Specter or his nemesis. Unfortunately, Celestine cares for all three gentlemen–one is her lover, one is her nemesis, and one is her best friend–but one of them has already betrayed her. Worse, she only has three hours to receive the antidote, or she will die and stay dead forever.

WOLFSBANE HALL is an adult romantic fantasy thriller and it will appeal to fans of Butcher and Blackbird’s twisty, dark romance and Belladonna’s manor-house mystery. It is a mash-up between Phantom of the Opera, Moulin Rouge, and Knives Out. If you enjoy books with hidden identities, forced proximity, villain daddies, betrayal, a haunted house, and love squares, you will love this story.

Cover Reveal: Strange Shape of Love – Herta Feely

ramblingmads

We’re proud to present the cover for Strange Shape of Love, a gripping, twisted mystery, a second-chance romance, and a provocative, adrenaline-filled thriller by Herta Feely.

Strange Shape of Love

Expected Release: September 2025

Genre: Suspense/ Romantic Suspense

Strange Shape of Love is a gripping suspense novel that tackles the dark intersections of love, trauma, and technology. Timely and emotionally complex, the book explores the aftermath of revenge porn and the resilience of a woman who refuses to be silenced.

Charlotte Cooper, a thirty-year-old New York journalist, is assigned to London—a place steeped in memories she’d rather forget. A second chance at professional fulfillment and personal healing seems within reach, especially when she reconnects with Rafe, the artist she once loved. But just as her life begins to stabilize, Charlotte receives an anonymous envelope containing explicit photos of herself from years past. The message is clear: abandon her career or face public humiliation. With two weeks to uncover the source, Charlotte must navigate buried secrets, the powerful men who seek to control her, and the difficult truths that could cost her everything.

Early Praise for Strange Shape of Love

Herta Feely’s Strange Shape of Love is a gripping, twisted mystery, a second-chance romance, and a provocative, adrenaline-filled thriller for fans of Gone Girl and Winnie M Li’s Complicit. Through the lens of a pulse-pounding adventure, Feely confronts some of today’s most urgent societal, cultural, and personal issues: gendered power dynamics, sex trafficking, race, class, and what it means to love and forgive despite the scars of the past. I tore through this book in two days and was amazed, both at the scope of the story and the courage and passion of its author.

Cover Reveal: The Reunion – Sonya Bateman

ramblingmads

I almost didn’t come.
Even with the free champagne, the five-star resort, the promise of closure. Even though it’s fifteen years since we all finished high school.

But now I’m here. Snowed in.
And someone’s already dead.
It should’ve been a reunion. Laughter. Memories. Old friends — even if they never really saw me. But our old prom dates are waiting tables. Our teachers are lurking in corridors. And one by one, the people I once called friends are acting like we’re back in school. There are eight of us.

There were eight of us then.
But one vanished after prom.
And someone knows what really happened that night. They invited us here for a reason.

And they’re not going to let us leave.


Sonya Bateman is an award-winning copywriter and novelist, a mid-eighties to late-nineties fantasy movie enthusiast, coffee hoarder, and collector of cool rocks who spent a not-insignificant portion of her childhood climbing trees in order to read books in peace. She grew up in Central New York, where the seasons are Winter and Road Construction and “not the city” is officially part of everyone’s address.
Sonya currently lives in a big house in a little city, still in Central New York (not the city), with her husband, son, and feline overlords. She writes twisty, shocking psychological fiction that may leave you suspicious of your friends and neighbors—and sleeping with the lights on.

Another is locked in a psychiatric hospital for most of his life.

And Annie Jackson is about to find out why…

Vowing once again to remove herself from society, Annie is back living alone in her little cottage by the shores of a loch.

The missing boy holds the key to ending Annie’s curse, and he may be the only chance that both she and Lewis have of real happiness.
