Of Flames and Fallacies
2024
Courtney Whims
Possession of dragon contraband in the Arterian kingdom is a guaranteed brutal execution. When twenty\-two\-year\-old Katerina Blackwind finds a dragon egg buried in her father’s grave, she begins to question everything she thought she knew. She must return the forbidden dragon hatchling—Daeja—north to the secretive Dragon where dragons roam free and a rebellion group resides. But she can’t do it on her own – smuggling a dragon hatchling across the realm during a war between Arterians and rebels means she can be killed by either side. She knows there’s only one person she can truly trust, her old flame, Cole Ashbourne. Yet, Cole is much different than the last time Kat saw deliciously chiseled in all the right places with a raw power lingering beneath the surface. Cole is torn between his responsibilities as a newly\-promoted Captain in the King’s military, and his heart. Kat works on a plan to get Daeja to the Dragon Lands while keeping a low profile at the military outpost. Though, having a room next to the sinisterly provocative Darian Raventhorn proves to be anything but easy. Danger lurks at every turn, and as more secrets are unearthed, Kat is left to question everything she thought she knew about dragons, her family, love, and the kingdom.

But when he comes face-to-mask with the woman herself, something deeper than intrigue clicks between them. The vigilante is his soulbound—a rare, fated love Graydon’s spent centuries believing he wouldn’t find. Even worse? She’s a suspect. As the two navigate the treacherous snows of Veilfall, a city of clashing magic and deadly tech, their search for the missing weapons not only reveals a terrorist plot, but pulls them closer.

But if Graydon wants to learn his soulbound’s identity, he must confront his loyalties and earn her trust. And if Ara wants to finally shed the scars of her clandestine childhood and get her happy ending, she’ll have to face the hardest question of all: Can Graydon Marr love the woman behind the mask?

Of Blood and Banes
2025
Courtney Whims
Secrets never die. They’re just buried in a grave. And graves don’t stay hidden forever. Katerina Blackwind and Daeja made it to the Dragon Lands. It should have been the key to their freedom. Instead, it’s only the beginning. The King is closing in—desperate for the one thing Kat possesses. The one thing that’s been missing for ages. The one thing he’ll tear the entire kingdom apart to claim. Worse, Kat is caught between two men who broke her trust—Cole, whose lie shattered her heart, and Darian, who isn’t just a stranger… he is the enemy. With betrayal at every turn, Kat must decide who—if anyone—she can trust before it’s too late. But the secrets of the past lie in a place no one has set foot in for over a century—guarded by magic and buried under years of forgotten history and bloodshed. If Kat fails to uncover the truth in time, the last of the dragons—and everyone she loves—will be lost forever. And their blood will be on her hands.
Fun Together
2025
Hillary Noelle
Faye Wilson is a chronic homebody in desperate need of a fun makeover.
She’s processing a recent break-up in all of her usual working too much and ignoring those Bad Feelings. Determined to remake herself, she creates “Faye’s Hierarchy of Fun,” a foolproof guide to become her most fun self at work and in her personal life. Oh, and in bed.
Eli Miller may have gone overboard in the fun department, and he’s finally ready to get serious.
Five years failing to balance work and play in New York City has left him with nothing but an empty savings account and a longing for something stable and real. A move back to his hometown in North Carolina is just the fresh start he needs to get back on track, or so he thinks. When Eli starts a new job that brings him face to face with Faye—his best friend’s ex, and the woman he tried (and failed) to not think about for years—his fresh start gets a little more complicated. Especially when he volunteers to help Faye check off items on her Fun List. As they spend more time together, feelings develop that could ruin their best-laid plans.
Or maybe they’ll learn that finding happiness isn’t about being fun or being serious, but about finding the person that makes it easy to be both.
