Now in development as a feature film with Amazon MGM Studios, with John Wick screenwriter Derek Kolstad attached to write the script. Shield of Sparrows is a slow-burn, high-stakes romantasy perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas and Rebecca Yarros—where enemies become lovers, monsters stalk a cursed realm, and a forgotten princess finds the strength to tear off her crown and become the warrior she was never meant to be. The gods sent monsters to the five kingdoms to remind mortals they must kneel. I’ve spent my life kneeling—to their will and to my father's. As a princess, my only duty is to wear the crown and obey the king. I was never meant to rule. Never meant to fight. And I was never supposed to be the daughter who sealed an ancient treaty with her own blood. But that changed the fateful day I stepped into my father’s throne room. The day a legendary monster hunter sailed to our shores. The day a prince ruined my life. Now I’m crossing treacherous lands beside a warrior who despises me as much as I despise him—bound to a future I didn’t choose and a husband I barely know. Everyone wants me to be something I’m not—a queen, a spy, a sacrifice. But what if I refused the role chosen for me? What if I made my own rules? What if there’s power in being underestimated?

A Kingdom of Flesh and Fire A Blood and Ash Novel by Jennifer L. Armentrout

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Jennifer L. Armentrout comes a new novel in her Blood and Ash series…  Is Love Stronger Than Vengeance? A Betrayal… Everything Poppy has ever believed in is a lie, including the man she was falling in love with. Thrust among those who see her as a symbol of a monstrous kingdom, she barely knows who she is without the veil of the Maiden. But what she does know is that nothing is as dangerous to her as him . The Dark One. The Prince of Atlantia. He wants her to fight him, and that’s one order she’s more than happy to obey. He may have taken her, but he will never have her. A Choice…. Casteel Da’Neer is known by many names and many faces. His lies are as seductive as his touch. His truths as sensual as his bite. Poppy knows better than to trust him. He needs her alive, healthy, and whole to achieve his goals. But he’s the only way for her to get what she wants—to find her brother Ian and see for herself if he has become a soulless Ascended. Working with Casteel instead of against him presents its own risks. He still tempts her with every breath, offering up all she’s ever wanted. Casteel has plans for her. Ones that could expose her to unimaginable pleasure and unfathomable pain. Plans that will force her to look beyond everything she thought she knew about herself—about him. Plans that could bind their lives together in unexpected ways that neither kingdom is prepared for. And she’s far too reckless, too hungry, to resist the temptation. A Secret… But unrest has grown in Atlantia as they await the return of their Prince. Whispers of war have become stronger, and Poppy is at the very heart of it all. The King wants to use her to send a message. The Descenters want her dead. The wolven are growing more unpredictable. And as her abilities to feel pain and emotion begin to grow and strengthen, the Atlantians start to fear her. Dark secrets are at play, ones steeped in the blood-drenched sins of two kingdoms that would do anything to keep the truth hidden. But when the earth begins to shake, and the skies start to bleed, it may already be too late.

From Blood and Ash

From Blood and Ash by Jennifer L. Armentrout

Captivating and action-packed, From Blood and Ash is a sexy, addictive, and unexpected fantasy perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas and Rebecca Yarros. A Maiden… Chosen from birth to usher in a new era, Poppy’s life has never been her own. The life of the Maiden is solitary. Never to be touched. Never to be looked upon. Never to be spoken to. Never to experience pleasure. Waiting for the day of her Ascension, she would rather be with the guards, fighting back the evil that took her family, than preparing to be found worthy by the gods. But the choice has never been hers. A Duty… The entire kingdom’s future rests on Poppy’s shoulders, something she’s not even quite sure she wants for herself. Because a Maiden has a heart. And a soul. And longing. And when Hawke, a golden-eyed guard honor bound to ensure her Ascension, enters her life, destiny and duty become tangled with desire and need. He incites her anger, makes her question everything she believes in, and tempts her with the forbidden. A Kingdom… Forsaken by the gods and feared by mortals, a fallen kingdom is rising once more, determined to take back what they believe is theirs through violence and vengeance. And as the shadow of those cursed draws closer, the line between what is forbidden and what is right becomes blurred. Poppy is not only on the verge of losing her heart and being found unworthy by the gods, but also her life when every blood-soaked thread that holds her world together begins to unravel.

The Spellshop is Sarah Beth Durst’s romantasy debut–a lush cottagecore tale full of stolen spellbooks, unexpected friendships, sweet jams, and even sweeter love. Join Kiela the librarian and her assistant, Caz the sentient spider plant, as they navigate the low stakes market of illegal spellmaking and the high risk business of starting over. “Sarah Beth Durst is the hidden gem of the fantasy world.” — Book Riot Kiela has always had trouble dealing with people. Thankfully, as librarian at the Great Library of Alyssium, she hasn’t had to. She and her assistant, Caz, a magically sentient spider plant, have spent the last eleven years sequestered among the empire’s most precious spellbooks, preserving their magic for the city’s elite. But when a revolution begins and the library goes up in flames, she and Caz save as many books as they can carry and flee to a faraway island Kiela was sure she’d never return to: her childhood home. Kiela hopes to lay low in the overgrown and rundown cottage her late parents left her and figure out a way to survive without drawing the attention of either the empire or the revolutionaries. Much to her dismay, in addition to a nosy—and very handsome—neighbor, she finds the town neglected and in a state of disrepair. The empire, for all its magic and power, has been neglecting for years the people who depend on magical intervention to maintain healthy livestock and crops. Not only that, but the very magic that should be helping them has been creating destructive storms that have taken a toll on the island. Due to her past role at the library, Kiela feels partially responsible for this, and now she’s determined to find a way to make things right: by opening the island’s first-ever secret spellshop. Her plan comes with risks—the consequence of sharing magic with commoners is death. And as Kiela comes to make a place for herself among the kind and quirky townspeople of her former home, she realizes that in order to make a life for herself, she must learn to break down the walls she has built up so high. Like a Hallmark rom-com full of mythical creatures and fueled by cinnamon rolls and magic, Sarah Beth Durst’s The Spellshop will heal your heart and feed your soul.

Peter by Glenna Sinclair

This is the FIFTH and final book of the FROST SECURITY series, containing over 80,000 words of paranormal romantic suspense. For the best reading experience, it is recommended to start at the beginning with the first book: RICHARD . Peter Frost, alpha shifter, ex-Navy SEAL, and leader of Frost Security has spent his life in search of something. Whether it's the people who murdered his family while he was overseas serving his country, a pack to call his own, or Vanessa Springer, the mate he once thought dead . . . what he's sought has always seemed just out of reach. Vanessa Springer is a woman on the run. Ever since the murder of her and Peter's pack fifteen years before, she's stayed one step ahead of the people who killed her friends and family by embracing the outlaw lifestyle. Now, she's found Peter Frost again, and realized that everything his father said about him was a lie. He doesn't want to be more human than wolf, and he does embrace his shifter heritage. Or does he? Because she knows secrets about Peter's heritage that he denies, and if he's unwilling to listen to Vanessa, they may not be able to defend themselves against the threat looming over Enchanted Rock. With Vanessa Springer newly arrived in town, Peter is torn. His mate looks, feels, and smells just like he remembered. Beautiful, intelligent, funny, with the dark red hair and blue eyes that have haunted his dreams since the last time he saw her. But something seems off. She's like a crazy woman, with wild stories of international conspiracies and even wilder ideas that make her sound like an escaped mental patient. Now, if Peter and Vanessa want to rekindle the love they once thought long dead and buried, they'll need to learn to trust each other again before it's too late. Because Frost Security's troubles are coming home to roost, and enemies, both new and old, are about to arrive on their doorstep. And this time, the Hunters won't be content just to murder them in their beds. Can Vanessa be right? Are Peter and the shifters of Frost Security about to face off against an insurmountable foe the likes of which they've never even imagined? Will they crumble in the face of adversity as they try to face their ancient enemy? Or, can the shifters of Frost Security defend their pack and the town of Enchanted Rock from the shadowy organization coming for them? And, in doing so, live to see another full moon with their mates by their sides?

Accomplice to the Villain by Hannah Nicole Maehrer

THE INSTANT #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING SERIES Once Upon a Time meets The Office in Hannah Nicole Maehrer’s laugh-out-loud viral TikTok series turned novel, about the sunshine assistant to an Evil Villain…and their unexpected romance. REWARD OFFERED: Apprentice to The Villain wanted for treason (light), magical property damage (alleged), and one incident involving a weaponized scone (accurate). Frequently seen with a grumpy frog (crowned, judgmental). Answers to “Evie” or “Stop that.” Evie Sage didn’t mean to become the right-hand woman to the kingdom’s most terrifying villain. One minute, she was applying for an entry-level position that promised “light paperwork and occasional beheadings,” and the next, she was knee-deep in magical mayhem, murder plots, and an entirely inappropriate crush on her brooding, sharp-jawed, walking disaster of a boss. Now, with a magical prophecy unraveling, assassins showing up in the break room, and a suspicious amount of frogs wearing crowns, Evie has to figure out how to survive her job without setting the kingdom on fire—or her dignity, which is hanging by a very sarcastic thread. Being evil-adjacent was never part of the five-year plan. But then again…neither was falling for The Villain. A magical office comedy with grumpy bosses, snarky frogs, and definitely-not-feelings. The Assistant and the Villain series is best enjoyed in order. Reading Order: Book #1 Assistant to the Villain Book #2 Apprentice to the Villain Book #3 Accomplice to the Villain

If he thinks he's rescuing some kind of simpering, cowering women who will throw her panties out with her better judgment, he's found the wrong woman.

A Touch of Darkness by Scarlett St. Clair

From bestselling author Scarlett St. Clair comes a dark and enthralling reimagining of the Hades and Persephone Greek myth. "Let me worship you," he said. She remembered the words she had whispered to him in the back of the limo after La Rose. "You will worship me, and I won't even have to order you." His request felt sinful and devious, and she reveled in it. She answered, "Yes." Persephone is the Goddess of Spring in title only. Since she was a little girl, flowers have only shriveled at her touch. After moving to New Athens, she hoped to lead an unassuming life disguised as a mortal journalist. All of that changes when she sits down in a forbidden nightclub to play a hand of cards with a hypnotic and mysterious stranger. Hades, God of the Dead, has built a gambling empire in the mortal world and his favorite bets are rumored to be impossible. But nothing has ever intrigued him as much as the goddess offering him a bargain he can't resist. After her encounter with Hades, Persephone finds herself in a contract with the God of the Dead, and his terms are impossible: Persephone must create life in the Underworld or lose her freedom forever. The bet does more than expose Persephone's failure as a goddess, however. As she struggles to sow the seeds of her freedom, love for the God of the Dead grows—a love that is both captivating and forbidden.

Sure, men are good for steamy romps and spicy hookups. I’m ready to accept that dating’s for dummies, but I’m not giving up sex. No way. And look who just stopped to offer me a lift: a sexy mechanic with all sorts of skills. He’s no knight in shining armor, and he’s not offering a fairy-tale happily ever after. He’s all about the here, the now, and the f*cking. I’m one hundred percent ready for that ride. Archer... I’m a liar. My friends think I’m screwing women left and right. The truth? I’ve been celibate for over a hundred years. The woman I picked up on the side of the road thinks I’m a mechanic. I’m not.

I thought I gave away my heart years ago, but evidence suggests otherwise. That sad, disused organ beats faster for a foul-mouthed history professor who drives an unreliable, shiny red Volkswagen Bug.

Cody: Billionaire Contemporary Western Romance

Cody: Billionaire Contemporary Western Romance by Sylvia McDaniel

She swore she'd never trust a Burnett. He swore he'd never fall in love. Alexis Winslow has spent her life fighting to hold onto her family's struggling ranch. When she stops to help a stranded driver, she never expects Cody Burnett—a wealthy playboy from the ranching dynasty just down the road. The ones Grandpa said avoid. Cody lives fast, but Alexis is different—strong, stubborn, and immune to his charm. When he offers to help train her grandfather's old racehorse, she reluctantly agrees. Sparks fly, but just as she starts to trust him, betrayal strikes. Her mother sells her grandmother's pearls, her home is ripped away, and the Burnetts' past threatens to destroy everything. Now, Cody will do whatever it takes to prove his love—even if it means giving up everything. But can Alexis let go of her pride before she loses the one man who would fight for her?
