A bookseller never meant to wield magic. An archer who refuses to back down.
In a world divided between the floating city of Newfris and the untamed Earth below, Arraโa skilled archer, but no mageโfights for survival in the Muir Woods. While her sister Elanil wields the magic that Arra lacks, Arra battles the marauding Remnant, the last vestiges of a broken humanity. But when fate brings a group of rebels crashing from the sky, Arraโs life collides with a deeper mystery.
Among the fallen is Trey, a bookseller with a hidden gift for magic, and Rylan, Phoenix’s son, now fifteen and a mage himself. Together, they uncover a deadly plot by the Cothellonโdark elves with an apocalyptic device that could destroy the world. As Arra grapples with her own insecurities, she must join forces with these unlikely allies, all while her heart is pulled toward Trey in ways she cannot explain.
With time running out, Arra must prove that magic is not the only strength that matters. In a race against the Cothellon, the survival of Earth lies not in power, but in courage.
Can Arra rise to the challenge, or will the world shatter like the city in the sky?
A freak storm, one-bed in a tiny little tent, and a smoking hot attraction to the mystery mountain man who saved my life? What could go wrong?
Mimi
As I trek out into the wilderness in hopes of an epiphany from my recently deceased mother, I lean into the crazy and hope for the best. When mystery man Clint barrels into my campsite and saves me from a horrible storm, I’m ready to show him my gratitude by handing over my V-card. The trouble is, I didn’t anticipate catching feelings so fast. How am I going to let him walk away in the morning?
Clint
I live in the city and work my dream job, but I’ve never been lonelier in my life. While testing new camping products for Billings Corp., I fall in deep, desperate love with a certain curvy camper. One look at her flimsy tent and I know she’s not prepared for the massive storm headed our way. Running from the cold and rain, I fall headfirst into the steamiest night of my life. Come morning, I’m ready to make her mine…for as long as we both shall live. I’ve never been good at talking to women, and Mimi is no exception. How do I make her mine without scaring her away forever?
One of the hardest lessons I’ve learned is that the only thing I need is hockey – because hockey has never let me down, never abandoned me. What I lack in my personal life, I make up for with my professional achievements. Iโm damn proud of the career Iโve had in the NHL and have no plans of stopping or jeopardizing it by coming out.
That is until I meet Sterling.
He does the unthinkable, he gives me hope, makes me wish for moreโฆ and then dashes those hopes and wishes to dust.
In the aftermath, I become someone I donโt particularly like, but that someone doesnโt really care either.
Then, itโs hockeyโonce moreโthat saves me.
So yeah, hockey is all I have and all I need.
Sterling
I know I f***ed up.
That I had an excellent reason not to contact Jules after I promised I wouldโafter all my life was a tornado at the timeโdoesnโt mean I didnโt f*ck up.
I know it and Iโm prepared to fix this mess now that I moved to Vegas permanently.
But the man I met more than two years ago is nowhere to be found. The one who opens the door when I come knocking isnโt the sweet boy who desperately wanted someone to take care of him.
No, this man is cynical and detached. Worst of all, heโs hell-bent on never giving me anything real again.
No matter how brief our time was, I know heโs the only personโand Iโve met a lot of peopleโwhoโs ever made me want more.
So yes, Iโll fight to repair what I broke and then hopefully weโll prepare for the rest of our lives together.

Unexpected sparks ignite a slow burn in this grumpy/sunshine workplace romance when a single mom proposes a marriage of convenience to save her bossโs brewery.
Fans of Lucy Score, Elsie Silver, Carley Fortune, and B.K. Borrison will find their next obsession with this second standalone in bestselling author Lena Hendrixโs spicy, emotional, deeply romantic Kings Series set in small town Michigan.
You might think itโs reckless for a single mom to enter into a marriage of convenience with her boss.
You would be correct.
To make matters worse, Abel King is a grumpy local brewer with a criminal past. He also happens to be my boss and a total stick-in-the-mud. Every time I come to work with a smile and wave, Iโm lucky if I can get a grunt in response.
When I accidentally-on-purpose overhear that heโs having trouble securing a business loan due to his criminal record, I hatch a plan to help the both of us.
The arrangement is perfectโa business transaction and nothing more. Like having a roommate without the hassle of other people bugging you for dates.
I will definitely not be falling in love with himโno matter how many times he says โmy wifeโ and tingles dance in all the right places.
Trouble is, as time goes on, things stop feeling like business and start feeling a whole lot like pleasure . . . and really, thatโs just my luck . . .
I’ve never been one who thought she needed a man by her side. I’m a strong independent woman who likes to give a middle finger to the patriarchy, you know?
But whenever I do find myself in a bindโa bad date, an arrest, you know, normal thingsโCole Campbell is always there.
He’s my knight in shining football pads.
And so when I need a place to stay, my brotherโs best friend is there with a key in his hand.
Living with a man Iโve known since childhood should be easy. Except seeing him walk around the apartment shirtless with only a towel around his waist has me biting my lipโฆamong other things.
We try to keep it friendly, but the pull is too strong. The chemistry is undeniable. And when our lips touch for the first time? We both know this is more than a mutual crush.
Our living situation was supposed to be temporary,
Only itโs starting to feel like forever.
Which is probably dumb, right? Falling in love with your brother’s best friend? The man who’s paid millions of dollars to protect him on the football field?
Definitely not what a strong, independent woman would do.
We know we need to come clean. But how?
Because if there’s one thing I’ve learned about football over the years, itโs that teammates shouldn’t fall for sisters.
And sisters shouldn’t fall for their brother’s best friend.
She wasnโt supposed to see him again after one reckless night. She definitely wasnโt supposed to be carrying his baby…
Cora
Iโve spent her whole life on the outside looking inโuntil I land in Saddle Creek, working for the one family that finally feels like home. Thereโs just one problem. Oliver Blankenship.
Grumpy. Guarded. And watching me like heโs already decided Iโm trouble. He clearly doesnโt trust me. Thinks Iโm after his money. The more I fall for his familyโฆ the harder it is to keep the truth from him. Because the secret Iโm hiding? Itโs going to tie me to him forever.
Oliver
Iโve been burned beforeโand I refuse to make that mistake again.
Cora is reckless. Tempting. Hiding something. I should keep his distance. Instead, I let her into my life, my familyโฆ my bed. The more I see the way she cares for the people I love, the more I want her to stay. But trust doesnโt come easy. And learning the truth means risking it all.
One unexpected pregnancy.
One man who refuses to trust.
One woman with everything to lose.
Because in a town like Saddle Creek, secrets donโt stay hidden โฆand falling in love might cost them more than their hearts.
Readers who love grumpy x sunshine, surprise pregnancy, and small town romance with heart will fall hard for Oliver and Coraโs story.
Cora loves her job looking after Mims and Pops but she didnโt realize that their grandson is the man she had one steamy encounter with and whose baby she is carrying. She wasnโt sure how to find him but now that he has come back into her life she worries that telling him could take away the only place that has felt like home.
Oliver hasnโt forgotten about the night he spent with Cora, but he didnโt know if he would ever see again. Finding her at his grandparentsโ house has him wondering why she is really there but the more time he spends with her the more he wants to give her the family and home that she deserves.
The texts between the siblings are humorous and the closeness of Oliverโs family heartwarming. Coraโs backstory is touching and Oliver is the perfect mix of sweet and swoony.
I came to Whispers to start over. Just me, my baby, and a bakery that smells like second chances.
No more judgmental glances. No more family who treated me like a stain they couldnโt scrub out. Just flour, sugar, and the quiet hope that I can build a life worth living.
I didnโt expect to meet Griffin.
Grumpy, gorgeous, and maddeningly closed off, heโs the townโs most elusive billionaire and the man who built homes for the rich but never made one for himself.
He sees me. Not just the bump or the baggage, but the woman underneath. And when he looks at me like Iโm the only thing thatโs ever made sense, I forget how to breathe.
But trust isnโt something I can afford. My past has taught me to be wary of everyone. Even if the grumpy builder says heโs ready to fight for something real.
Lark Carrington came to Coral Bell Cove for a fresh start. A fading inn, a quiet life, and a chance to rebuild something steady after everything sheโs lost. She didnโt expect her first real connection to come in the middle of chaos.
Holt Wright is used to being underestimatedโlong before he ever put on a uniform. The easygoing one. The goofball. The brother no one expected much from. Until he became a firefighter. Now, when the alarm sounds, heโs the one people trust when it matters most.
The one who shows up.
The one who stays.
Even for her.
What begins as a single momentโsmoke, heat, and the steady presence of the man who pulled her back from the edgeโturns into something neither of them can ignore. Long days restoring the Carrington Inn. Late nights that feel a little too honest. A connection that builds slowlyโฆ and burns deeper than either of them expected.
Because Lark doesnโt trust easily. And Holt is still learning what it means to be the man people finally believe in.
And when the past Lark tried to outrun starts to catch up with herโฆ theyโll have to decide if this is just a sparkโor something worth risking everything for.
At First Spark is a tender, slow-burn small-town romance about healing, showing up, and discovering that sometimes the person who saves youโฆ is the one you choose to stay for.
Sabbath Creed had an intensity that always enthralled me, yet I never would have fathomed his love could warp my own sanity into madness, setting ablaze everything I loved until nothing was left but ashes and agony.
Iโve always been drawn to fire, the way it consumes, transforms, and purifies. But I never expected it to devour my world, leaving nothing behind but ashes and heartbreak.
From that moment on, I chose to escape my fate, to escape him.
I could always feel his presence, lingering like smoke in the air. It was only a matter of time before he would find me. His love, twisted and charred by the flames of his obsession, burned endlessly for me. He would never let me go, not after what happened.
I thought working at Camp Redwood would hide me from his gaze, but it only pushed me into the spotlight with its own dark secrets. He was here, and I needed to make the ultimate decision: allow his love to consume me or extinguish its flames. Forever.
SABBATH
She thinks she can escape me, but she’ll never understand. Iโm not just a part of her past; Iโm a part of her. She might try to extinguish the flames, but I’ll never let her. I will make her mine againโno matter the cost. My little spitfire.

Releasing June 9, 2026
One offer from Dutton Richford is all it takes to land me in a deal with the enemy. For a man who I’ve spent most of my life despising (and I assumed it went both ways), he knew exactly what to say to convince me to help him. You see, he wants his father to choose him as the next owner of Lovers Lodge, the destination venue our small town is most known for, and I want to finally own my own business and expand it. We both have obstacles that are keeping us from getting what we want, and somehow, teaming up makes the most sense. It doesnโt take long for me to learn that I never really knew the man who has managed to steal my attention in just a few short weeks. The man who is much more observant and kinder than I expected him to be. Donโt even get me started on his bright green eyes, his sculpted body, and the dimple in his left cheek when he smiles. Which is rare, by the way, but heโs starting to do it more and more often with me. The way my heart pounds and my body heats when heโs near me, looks at me, touches me, or speaks to me is something Iโm beginning to crave. It makes hating him that much harder. And thatโs a problem, because whatโs a girl supposed to do when a harmless deal turns into something more with a man who has always been forbidden?

A Single Dad/Nanny, Age-Gap Formula One romance from Amazon Top 50 and USA Today bestselling author SJ Sylvis.
Iโve always been the kind of person who finds the silver lining in a bad situation. To a fault, some would say.
But after everything fell apart at once, even I hit my breaking point.
Then Van Halston walked into my life.
Formula Oneโs hottest race engineer. Single Dad. A man built on control and careful distance.
When he presses his business card into my palm and asks me to travel the world with him and his six-year-old daughter, I think itโs a joke. Itโs not.
There are rules, of course. Iโm there to be a nanny. A teacher. A steady presence in his daughterโs whirlwind life on the racing circuit.
And with nothing holding me back, I say yesโdesperate for an escape.
I just didnโt expect it to be him.
The quiet moments. The lingering tension. The way he looks at me like heโs fighting something he doesnโt want to feel.
The more I fall, the more I realize something terrifying: Van Halston doesnโt trust easily, and the second he believes Iโve crossed himโฆIโm no longer the woman he wants. Iโm the enemy.

When I inherit the dilapidated Loveland Ranch on my birthday, I do what any self-respecting LA career woman would doโhave one unforgettable night with a hot, broody cowboy and skedaddle before sunrise.
But when I hear that a crabby neighbor is suing my beloved grandmotherโs estate, I decide her legacy is worth the dirt under my manicure and start renovating.
Cue the hot, broody cowboy, who rides up on a horse and informs me heโs the crab. And just when I think things canโt get worse, the universe hands me another surprise.
A little pink plus sign.
Fitz and I have nothing in common except being fiercely independent. We come from different worlds. We have different visions for the future. We donโt share the same dreams, backgrounds, or even the same zip code.
But it doesnโt take long before I find myself wishing for all the things Iโd given up onโa real partnership with a protective, kind, hot-as-sin man who reassures me Iโm not fighting my battles alone. Except heโs fighting his own battles, and they may be too big for us to overcome.
Will this accidental family we created lead to heartbreak? Or could it be the life Iโve always wanted?
I dreamed of being a Navy SEAL, but to achieve my goal, I had to choose. I could be gay or be a SEAL. Being a SEAL won out. You couldnโt miss what you had never experienced. I hoped being a team guy would fill the void left by denying who I was.
And it did, until terrorists took my teammate captive, and I watched two of my best friends find love. Now repressed thoughts and feelings plagued me, and I didnโt know if Iโd be able to resist.
Especially not when my first and only crush showed up.
Roman
Growing up in the bible belt was hard enough, especially when my dad, the town doctor, committed suicide. I hid in the closet until I left for college. There twosomes turned into moresomes, which somehow led to a drunken hook-up with a sorority girl. When she turned up pregnant, I married her, but she disappeared as soon as the baby was born, leaving me a single dad.
