How to Kidnap a Fake Date
2026
Discover a new and deliciously spicy dark romantic comedy, perfect for fans of Brynne Weaver, Navessa Allen and Lauren Biel
It's going to be a killer of a good time…
Sweet Maggie Hamilton comes from a long line of people paid to professionally end lives. Unfortunately, Maggie is a family failure. Age? Twenty-nine. Kill count? A deeply embarrassing
zero
. So when her father decides to marry her off to her psychotic ex at thirty to help her take over the family business, Maggie hatches a plan for the world's worst fake relationship to buy some time. Which is where broad-shouldered, bad-tempered, offensively attractive Roman Ellis comes in. Maggie's neighbour, who is about as interested in her as he is in a slow, painful death. But Maggie isn't offering him a choice. With Roman tied to the passenger seat, she's taking him as her plus one to her father's second wedding in the Highlands. All Maggie has to do is survive the week without dying, murdering anyone or letting anyone in a house of professional killers know that her serious long-term boyfriend is actually her hostage. Unfortunately for her, Roman isn't going to make it that easy.
Packed with murder, wicked humour and killer spice, this dark romcom is the first in the addictive Killer Kin series.

How to Kill Your Rival
2026
From dark romance sensation Effie Campbell comes the next addictive instalment in her steamy and stabby dark romcom series 🔪 💜
Those who slay together… Stay together.
As the heir apparent to the Death Council – a secret organisation of elite contract killers – Eliza Hamilton is fighting to prove herself in a room full of men who'd rather take advice from a corpse than a woman. Then someone starts sabotaging her kills. Her targets keep turning up dead before she can get to them, damaging her reputation and making her look incompetent. Her prime suspect is her new stepbrother, James an infuriatingly gorgeous professional pain in her arse, and her biggest rival. Also one of the few people alive skilled enough to pull it off. But when a far deadlier threat emerges, Eliza and James are forced to do the work together. As the body count rises, so does the tension between them. Between the arguments, the sabotage and a shared enthusiasm for creative homicide, an inconvenient attraction begins to spark. One built on competition, mutual respect, and entirely too much eye contact over dead bodies. But solving the mystery means getting closer than either of them would like, and the line between rivalry and obsession is becoming harder to ignore. After all, there's a fine line between wanting to kill someone... ...and wanting to kiss them. 🔪 Killer rivals-to-lovers 💜 Murder as a love language 🔪 Extremely poor workplace boundaries 💜 Badass heroine who'd rather die than admit feelings 🔪 Mutual pining, mutual threats 💜 Hate-kissing 🔪 Competitive flirting 💜 Red flags are their favourite colour
