“Touch Him and 💀”
In a world ravaged by war and a plague that threatened to end humankind,
Deliverance came with an unexpected consequence:
Vampires.
Vincent Asposito lives a life of luxury, locked in a gilded cage by his father. Longing to break free, Vinny devises a daring plan to sneak out, only to have his first taste of freedom end in being kidnapped by Jude, the human son of the resistance leader.
On the surface, Jude embodies everything Vincent should despise: a sworn enemy determined to destroy the only world he knows, yet he can’t help his attraction to the infuriatingly handsome man. Forced into a reluctant alliance, the two embark on a risky mission that could tip the scales of war between humans and vampires.
As their bond deepens, dangerous revelations come to light, forcing Vincent to decide where his loyalties lie—and who he’s willing to sacrifice.

There’s only one weapon your enemy covets. Your true name. Surrender it and die.
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.
Jack would burn the world to keep Sav breathing; captivity only sharpens the promise in his eyes. But love means nothing if Mab’s first law stands. Never fall in love with a human, and Jack is the one thing she can never have. But is he human?
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.
Dark, political, and brimming with open-door spice, Poison Amidst Blooms delivers fated mates, hidden identities, a reluctant chosen one, portal peril, and a found family. Perfect for readers of Crescent City and The Cruel Prince.

Magic is real. And so is anti-magic.
When Tessa, a single foster mom, is tasked with the care of Astrid, an abandoned teen witch, the mundane world as she knew it disappears. Discovering secrets about her lost foster child Theo, Tessa follows Astrid and her aunt, a fabulous witch named Cece, to a magical house. There, she joins the ranks of Magix, including a burly siren, a snake-charming ogress, a morbid little vampire, a pair of wild werewolf toddlers, and a coven of ice fairies, all of whom are in hiding from a murderous organization hell-bent on destroying the magical and non-magical worlds alike.
Interwoven with Tessa’s journey is the story of three friends: Val, Tish, and Gunner. Letters between the three outline their work to prevent a looming climate crisis at all costs. As their story collides with Tessa’s, it becomes clear that Tessa, Astrid, Cece, and even sweet Theo are mixed up in something far more sinister than they realized. Tessa must set aside her disbelief, fear, grief, self-doubt, and even her growing infatuation with Cece to join Astrid on a journey to find her family, finding her own family and the truth about herself along the way.
We’re proud to present the cover for the next book in the Nine Kingdoms series, Cast Off. Pre-orders open today!
Cast Off (Jewels of the Nine Kingdoms Book 2)
Expected Release Date: July 10, 2026
Genre: Romantasy/ Why Choose
Cover: @david_gardias_designs
Cast Off can be read as a standalone—but for the fullest plunge into the Nine Kingdoms, start with WHISKED AWAY. It’s the gateway that sets up the world, politics, and payoffs you’ll feel even harder in Book Two.
An arranged marriage. A fragile alliance. A love neither thought possible.
Omega Princess JingYi of Xûen-Sarai has always lived in the shadows—unseen, unwanted, valued only for her skill as a healer. When she’s sent to marry a powerful Alpha lord in a distant kingdom, she sees it as an escape. A chance to reclaim her dignity.
Alpha Lord Alexander Wulfbane expects a flawless bride to restore his disgraced House—but the Omega who arrives is nothing like he imagined. The moment their eyes meet, disappointment lingers, and their fragile alliance begins to fray.
But beyond the cold marriage bed and strained diplomacy, a darker plot is brewing. Across the realm, Omegas are vanishing—and whispers of a forbidden substance threaten to destabilize the Nine Kingdoms. To survive, JingYi and Alexander must become more than a political match.
She’s not the bride he wants.
And she never asks him to be her hero.
But when the storm comes, they’ll have to choose—
stand together, or be swept away.
Note: Cast Off is an Omegaverse fantasy romance. It is Book Two in Jewels of the Nine Kingdoms—a series of interconnected stories, each following different main characters or pairings, all bound by a shared world and a central conflict. This book can be read on its own—but Whisked Away (Book 1) offers deeper context and emotional resonance within the overarching plot.

Fifteen years after climbing the beanstalk, giants are the least of Jack’s concerns…
Twisted fairy tale figures roam our world in this deliciously dark, exhilarating new Urban Fantasy series, featuring familiar characters from mythology and fables clashing and conniving in a metropolitan cesspit that runs on chaos.
Amid rumors of necromantic cults, children vanishing from the city’s streets and men crying werewolf, down-and-out Detective Jackson Slade of the NYPD is at his lowest. Blacklisted by the corrupt department he works for, he finds himself winding up in the same grimy bars every night, nearly drinking himself to death and relying on mysterious magick beans to pick himself back up.
Until, one night, he stumbles upon a gruesome crime scene that will change the course of his life dramatically. When he finds the shattered corpse of egg-shaped billionaire media mogul Dick Dumpty, Jack finds himself reluctantly teaming up with the notoriously cold-blooded outlaw Goldilocks, and together they spiral into the horrifying magickal underbelly of New York City, caught in the middle of a war between the corrupt and the even more corrupt.
Coming up against forces such as the grizzly gang leader Papa Bear and the crooked giant-descendant head of the NYPD Chief Cole, Jack and Goldilocks set in motion an explosive chain of events that will change the world, for better or for so much worse…
Triggers: Drug addiction, kidnapping, allusion to sexual assault, themes of human trafficking, body horror, injury detail, alcoholism
My thoughts: What do you get if fairy tale and nursery rhyme characters are real, live in New York and a lot of them are serious criminals? Fablenoir.
Jack Slade (once slew a giant, there was a beanstalk, he doesn’t like to talk about it) is a detective falling apart, he’s an alcoholic, addicted to mind altering magic beans, his boss Captain Cole is corrupt, he’s about to be fired, oh and a giant egg almost landed on him.
Dumpty’s dead, Goldilocks needs Jack’s help to take down Papa Bear and his drug empire. A lot of women and children have been going missing, Cole doesn’t want to know and Jack’s in serious trouble.
It’s a fast paced, high octane, race against time, corruption and Jack’s high in order to try to unravel the chaos in New York. There’s a secret cabal of officers trying to bring down Cole, a Charming governor who seems powerless to stop the rot and a Mad Hatter performing really disturbing experiments in his basement.
If you like your fairy tales dark and creepy, you’re in the right place.
We are so thrilled to share this beautiful cover with you all today. From the Depths is the next book in the Of Mountains and Seas series and it will be available June 9th!

Expected Release Date: June 9, 2026

In the wake of a failed coup, peace comes at a cost.
A new regime enforces order by erasing the memories of every Shifter.
But Nivi remembers everything.
Immune to the memory-wiping tincture that silenced her kind, Nivi carries the weight of the past alone. Her powers set her apart, but so does the truth she can’t forget. Once again, Nivi finds herself isolated from her family and friends, and something begins to fracture, within herself and within the forest of her hometown Yuras.
Strange happenings are accumulating. A road of abandoned homes in Yuras. A missing crabbing crew in Alaska. A student abduction at the local Shifter school.
With danger creeping closer and reality unraveling for both Shifters and Statics, will the fight for what’s been lost be worth unearthing truths they fear?
