The Rising Dark
Celia Thorn
Publication date: October 22nd 2025
Genres: Adult, Paranormal, Romance

She would kill for you.

Michelle’s perfectly ordinary life is thrown into chaos when she’s attacked one night by a terrifying monster straight out of a horror movie. The only thing that stands between her and her demise is Lavinia: tall, gorgeous… and a vampire.

She would worship you… if you let her.

To keep Michelle safe, Lavinia whisks her away to stay with a band of female sword-wielding vampires. Every day they strive to find out who is trying to kill Michelle and why; and every day, Michelle’s feelings for her chivalrous rescuer grow. But Michelle is just a regular nurse, and Lavinia is a beautiful, centuries-old vampire with a vow to protect the innocent. To get their happily ever after, they’ll have to navigate their differences… and slay some demons in the process.

The Rising Dark is the first book in a sapphic paranormal romance series centred around a Sisterhood of vampire warriors finding love.

The Legend of the Nine-Tailed Fox #CoverReveal

The Legend of the Nine-Tailed Fox
Katrina Kwan
Publication date: February 24th 2026
Genres: Adult, Fantasy

From the author of The Last Dragon of the East comes a sweeping fantasy adventure with a dash of romance between a nine-tailed fox and the demon-hunter who captures her, banished to the underworld together and forced to form a reluctant alliance in order to escape the circles of Hell.

Yue may be the last of her kind. At night, she stalks the streets of the capital city of Longhao, luring in unsuspecting victims with the mask of a beautiful woman, then consuming them in her true form of the nine-tailed fox.

When she is captured by a powerful demon hunter named Sonam and banished to Hell, she manages one final act of revenge: dragging him—and two of his subordinates—down with her.

Now trapped in an abyss with unimaginable terrors, they’ll need each other’s help to navigate Hell and bypass the gods who preside over each circle, each of whom presents the group with a unique and deadly challenge. Forced to depend on one another as they claw their way out of the underworld, both demon and demon hunter discover that there might be more to the other than meets the eye.

Disillusioned
Brianna Sugalski
(A Lay of Ruinous Reign, )
Publication date: Summer 2025
Genres: Adult, Fantasy, Romance

Settling into her throne and preparing for her coronation day proves no easy task, but Lilac Trécesson intends to uphold her end of Kestrel’s bargain. When the faerie king is absent at her Accords meeting, a ghoulish visitor arrives in his stead, demanding they intercept an ancient traveling merchant and deliver Kestrel the arcane chest they carry.

Despite Adelaide’s unexpected camaraderie and the all-powerful warlock at their side, the quest ends in tragedy. Garin finds himself torn between sanctity and sacrifice, forced to make an impossible choice. When Lilac makes it for him, they must navigate the Sanguine magic that tethers them as that France has encroached her eastern duchy spreads like wildfire.

Garin’s restraint is further tested when Lilac is propositioned by an emperor who offers not only the protection of his name, but to fortify her kingdom against France’s annexation. The threat of the queen’s overthrow infuriates him, yet nothing devastates Garin as much as the thought of losing Lilac to the emperor who would inevitably fall victim to his wrath if he dared lay a finger on her.

He can’t help himself. The queen made sure of it.

His beloved.
His Lilith.
His thrall.

Lavish
Tinia Montford
(California Kings, )
Publication date: August 6th 2025
Genres: Adult, Mystery, Romance

Serena King has spent years burying her sins beneath designer heels and ruthless ambition. But no lie lasts forever. When a ghost from her past returns, armed with secrets that could destroy her, she’s forced into a game she can’t control.
The first move? A marriage forced upon her

To him—her brother’s ex-best friend. Her first mistake. The man who was her first… and then broke her heart.
Miles Whitmore.

He’s not the reckless charmer she remembers. He’s colder. Crueler. Hungrier.

Miles wants to salvage his scandal-ridden family’s legacy. He needs power. He needs redemption. But he’s got secrets that could destroy everything too.

Their marriage is a business deal, a show for the public. But behind closed doors?

It’s a war.

A war of lies. A war of seduction. A war of who will break first.

But the deeper they fall into their twisted game, the more hatred turns to heat. The more vengeance turns to obsession.

Because in a world where power is everything and love is the most dangerous game of all…

The biggest threat isn’t their enemies.

It’s each other.
