Redeemed
2021
Lauren Asher
Santiago Alatorre One mistake destroys my career. I go from most eligible bachelor to monster, hiding from the world. At least until Chloe breaks into my home. My new fake girlfriend is a temporary fix to my biggest problem. But as our game changes, so do my feelings. There’s only one issue stopping me from claiming her. Me. Chloe Carter It all started with a birthday wish, some vodka, and an ancestry kit. That’s how I end up in Italy, finding my long-lost father. But one decision lands me a fake boyfriend I don’t want. The more we pretend, the easier our ruse becomes. I told myself not to fall in love with a liar like Santiago. I should have listened. Redeemed is a steamy standalone in the Dirty Air world.
When I'm Gone
2021
Jessica Grace
For as long as I could remember, I’d had a fear of abandonment. With the exception of my two best friends, Beckett and Ayden, I closed myself off from the world. Loving two boys unconditionally didn’t come without its problems, but my love for them never frayed. At least not until the rope we entwined for ourselves was forced to snap. We were inseparable—until we weren’t. “If love were enough it would save you in every lifetime.” Those are the words my mum lived by. In hindsight, those words were a lesson. One I’d learn much later on, when the world around me crumbled and my fear of abandonment reminded me of its existence. I made bad choices. I lost sight of who I used to be. They say there’s two sides to every story, but in this story—there’s three.

RuNyx

And he knows the moment his paths cross with Corvina, she's dangerous to everything that he is. They shouldn't have caught each other's eye. They cannot be. But a chill-inducing century-old mystery forces them to collide. People have disappeared every five years for over a hundred years, and Corvina is getting clues to unraveling it all, and Vad needs to keep an eye on her. And so begins a tale of the mystique, the morbid, the macabre, and a deep love that blossoms in the unlikeliest of places.
Equilibrium
2021
L.K. Reid
My name is Ophelia Ekaterina Aster. Baba Yaga. Daughter of a Dragon. A monster. I never minded the whispers or the screams, because I knew who I was and what I’ve done. I never minded, until I did. I sold my soul to the devil and painted the pages of my story with the blood of those who betrayed me. I became the darkness they threw me into, and I destroyed them. I wouldn’t stop, I couldn’t stop, not now. Not when everything I worked for was within my reach. But it all came crashing down when he barged into my life again and threatened to ruin my carefully laid plans. It only took those two words. “Hello, Persephone.” He said he wanted me, he said I was his, but how could I trust him when every single person in my life has stabbed me in the back? I wanted to believe him, I wanted to believe that the fairytale I so often dreamed of could become my reality. But I was wrong. I should’ve listened to my gut. I should’ve escaped while I still had time, because even though love runs deep, betrayal… it runs much deeper. I guess I didn’t expect it to hurt like this. I didn’t expect it to turn into just another nightmare. Equilibrium is the second book in The Rapture series, dealing with dark and violent themes that might be triggering to some, and is therefore not suitable for readers below the age of 18. It is recommended to read Ricochet before Equilibrium. This is not a standalone and it ends on a cliffhanger.

Serendipity
2021
L.K. Reid
An accidental kidnapping. A woman who talks too much. A man with a wicked touch. For Alessia Devine, today was supposed to be just another day working in the luxury hotel she called home—stressful, chaotic and full to the brim with guests who wouldn't know common sense or common courtesy if it bit them on the behinds she was supposed to kiss. What she wasn't expecting was to be kidnapped in the middle of the day, least of all by the Italian Mafia. And what was it with all of their men looking like models? But her brain didn't register the danger, at least not until he came into the room. Tall, dark and dangerous, her heart skipped a beat when she first saw him, and she just knew. Being kidnapped was the least of her concerns. SERENDIPITY is a standalone, 18,000 words novella, with Happy For Now ending. It is not a dark romance, but it does have scenes that might not be suitable for all readers.

As the masks started falling, she could now see the true depravity crawling through the streets. Torn between the two worlds—between the two men—she had to decide. Was she going to cling to the past, or run for the future? Or was she going to let monsters decide her destiny?
