The sky brought them together.
The storm could tear them apart.

While pirate ships and floating cities soar overhead, Amaya Sinclair’s feet are planted on the ground. But when a violent tragedy results in her abduction by a villainous Sky Lord, her once-clear path vanishes underfoot. In its place, she finds a beautiful, unforgiving world that challenges everything she believes about herself and her future.

William Lexington has spent over a decade carving out a space for himself among the clouds, at the cost of his identity and ideals. When a twist of fate lands Amaya on his airship, he writes her off as a pretty inconvenience—until he realizes she’s the only thing standing between his monstrous former mentor and a brutal new era.

Caught in a fight to live on their own terms, Amaya and Will’s growing connection calls every priority into question. As the enemy’s looming shadow darkens, their race to control forces best left untouched reveals that much more than their lives are at stake.

Welcome aboard the Maelstrom. Enjoy the view—and don’t get killed.

Treasure Planet meets Final Fantasy in this fast-paced romantic fantasy perfect for fans of Leigh Bardugo and Rebecca Yarros.

When a brutal attack forces them on the run, Kade and Evelyn go in search of a way to recover her magic. But even if they can, their enemies have a head start…and unless Kade can master his own power, evil threatens to swallow him whole.

Still bound by a prophecy they feel ill-equipped to fulfil, the pair venture to the depths of truth in their increasingly desperate quest. And as the darkness presses at every door, there is only one path forward: rebellion.

ramblingmads

We love a good sports romance and highly recommend you check out Gihigugma, Ace of Hearts by Melanie King-Smith!

Gihigugma, Ace of Hearts

Release Date: September 30, 2025

Genre: YA Contemporary Romance

  • Found Family
  • Filipino/Asian Immigrant Experience (Own Voices)
  • Sports Romance (Tennis)
  • Strangers to Friends to Lovers
  • Love Triangle
  • Dual POV
  • Sweet/ No Spice
  • Coming of Age

Crazy Rich Asians meets Bend It Like Beckham in this outrageously fun, Filipino-flavored romance.

When Jomar’s tennis ambitions crash into Mitchelle’s wounded heart during one charmingly disastrous karaoke night, they’ll discover that the biggest matches aren’t played on courts—but in learning to love despite the ghosts of the past.

Jomar Montalbano thinks he’s ready for anything. A rising tennis star from the Philippines, he lands in London with one suitcase, one college scholarship, and zero idea how to survive without rice. He’s counting on a few wins—but definitely not falling for Mitchelle Tanner.

She’s the quiet girl with a vintage camera, a craving for halo-halo, and a smile that hides as much as it shows. Half-American, half-Filipina, and fully impossible to read.

He’s used to power and control—but around her, he’s completely unstrung.

From vulnerable confessions in a darkroom’s glow to rallies that feel like Wimbledon wins, Jomar discovers that love—like tennis—is all about timing, risk, and knowing when to fight for the point.

Set in London’s rainy alleys and sunlit parks, woven with island warmth and humor, Gihigugma, Ace of Hearts is an adventure about home, heart, and the courage to choose love against all odds.

Love at eighteen isn’t always a mistake. Sometimes, it’s a miracle.

This story contains: social alcohol use, mild profanity, depictions of past romantic trauma, and competitive sports pressure. While handled with care, please prioritize your wellbeing. The story ultimately celebrates healing and joyful connection.

HEAT LEVEL: Sweet – Kissing only, no explicit content, YA-appropriate

SETTING: London, UK (Filipino immigrant/diaspora community)

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.

Cover Reveal: Cast Off – Enola M. Douglas

ramblingmads

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.

✨Why choose? (M/F/M)
✨Royalty romance
✨Court intrigue
✨Slow burn
✨Reluctant Hero
✨Damaged Hero
✨He falls first
✨Found family
✨Protective Heroes
✨Forced Proximity

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.
