Publication date: November 28th 2025
Genres: Adult, Contemporary, Romance

What do you do when snowed in alone with an arrogant flirt?

Don’t walk in on him in the shower.
Too late.
I can’t look away, and Noah loves the attention.
But it doesn’t mean anything…
He’s the guy who never goes home alone, and I’m the shy book nerd whose idea of a good time is staying late at the library and binging on red licorice.
Noah thinks I’m so forgettable that he can’t remember my name, even though we share the same group of friends. So when the roads clear and our mutual friends finally turn up, including Eric—the sweet guy who wants to be more than friends—I’m determined to forget about water dripping off muscles and fists wrapped around…
But now Noah’s acting differently. Sitting close to me, touching me, calling me by my actual name…
It’s almost like he’s jealous, but that’s ridiculous.
Except, I swear the bathroom door was unlocked before I walked in.
Noah didn’t leave it open on purpose…or did he?

Contains MF, FF scenes, and an MMC who likes to watch.

This is a short and steamy novella in Her Sweet Seduction Series. Each novella is stand-alone with new characters and spicy scenarios to enjoy anytime—but especially fun as a bedtime treat.

#PreOrderBlitz: One Night Paris by #NDJackson @indie_pen_pr

Blurb

It started as one night in Paris.
It ended with forever on the line.

Not quite a jilted bride,

I still find myself on a first-class flight to Paris—solo.

What was supposed to be a honeymoon has become my Great Parisian Adventure: art, food, and falling in love with the city.

Then I met Lucien.

Tall. Dark. French. Irresistibly artsy.

He taught me how to see the city through his eyes.

Its sounds, its colors, its passion.

And somehow, somewhere between croissants, art galleries, and midnight kisses,

Paris stopped being just a place… and started to feel like him.

But he’s a world away from my real life.

And I came here to move on, not fall in love.

Still, you can’t have a Great Parisian Adventure without a touch of romance.

Even if it can't last.

One Night in Paris is a jilted bride, friends to lovers, travel romance with a happy ending, steamy open-door scenes and a whole lotta Paris. Features a scorching hot Parisian with sensitive eyes, a gentle soul and hot touch.

#BookReview: Crown of Starlight by Cait Corrain

Synopsis:
Greek mythology takes to the stars in this steamy, sci-fi reimagining of the tale of Ariadne and Dionysus—the first book in a snarky, queer, lushly romantic duology set in a galaxy of monstrous mortals, bloodthirsty gods, and love fierce enough to shatter the cosmos.

Raised amongst monsters, Ariadne Tholos, Crown Princess of the interstellar Cretan Empire, fears nothing more than becoming one herself. But trapped within the labyrinth of imperial politics and the puritanical restrictions of her father, King-Emperor Minos—and his totalitarian regime of militarized death cultists—she might not have another option. When the chance arises to take her fate into her own hands, Ariadne seizes it, only to find herself on the run—injured, alone, and in desperate need of a miracle.

Enter Dionysus—the exiled god of wine, madness, and revelry. He needs a Cretan royal to join his cult in order to end his banishment and return home to Olympus. Their meeting is the opportunity he’s been waiting for, but there’s just one problem: the Cretans are heretics, and Ariadne is no exception.

With a vengeful Minos closing in, Ariadne strikes a bargain. She’ll marry Dionysus and “join” his cult. In exchange, he’ll hide her away in the only corner of the galaxy beyond Minos’s reach: Olympus itself. But while Ariadne can handle the deadly politicking of the Olympians, a life of repression has left her unprepared for how powerfully Dionysus’s uninhibited debauchery will call to her darkest desires, and make her question parts of her identity she’s kept locked away her entire life.

#BookReview: Blood Bound: A Novel (Cursed Covenant, #1) by Ellis Hunter

Synopsis:

A debut high-stakes fantasy romance trilogy set against a once-in-a-generation duel to the death between rival witches and dragon riders as they battle to control the source of all magic in their kingdoms. Perfect for fans of Fourth Wing, Throne of Glass, and Quicksilver.

You duel or you die.

Astrid has always known she is destined to die. She is the last Nachstern witch and heir to the Queendom of Arturea, cursed by a centuries-old covenant to duel the heir to the Kingdom of Vatra for the source of all magic: the Heart. And now Astrid’s time is up. She is heading into enemy territory to face Prince Zryan, the most powerful dragon rider in eons, with only her familiar, her potions, and her wits to aid her. She is going to die, and any chance her queendom has of curing the Blight that’s ravaging the lands and killing her people will die with her.

Meanwhile, deep in dragon country, Skylar and her travelling troupe arrive in Vatra’s capital, ready to profit off the legions of spectators swarming to the city ahead of the duel. She despises the royals and all they stand for, especially as the King’s guard murdered her mother. But when her best friend disappears, suspected to have been taken in the conscription, her search takes her closer to the royals than she ever could have imagined.

As the duel looms over the kingdom, Skylar and Astrid’s fates intertwine. They must battle a growing rebellion, their inner demons, and ultimately, those they love most, to determine if together they will save—or doom—their world.

#ReleaseBlitz: The Fortune Games by @gothicshelves @auxbookspub @rrbooktours

We're thrilled to announce that The Fortune Games by Mira Specter is now available, perfect for fans of morally grey love interests, rivals with insane chemistry, and high-stakes secrets!

The Fortune Games

Release Date: November 27, 2025

Genre: Romantic Thriller/ New Adult

Rivals to lovers
Love Triangle
Elite university
Slow burn tension
Toxic attraction
Secrets and lies

“Sexy. Unputdownable. Viciously funny.”

A razor-sharp romantic mystery about money, mayhem, and the price of ambition — perfect for fans of Nightshade and Legally Blonde.

They say all fortunes come with a curse. I should’ve believed them.

A few days ago, I was just Vera: law student, scholarship kid, newest intern at the prestigious Saidi firm. I had plans, ambition, and the perfect date lined up with the campus golden boy.
Then I woke up to find a suitcase full of money at the foot of my bed—and a note. I had seventy-two hours to spend it all and leave no trace… or risk losing everything.

At first, I thought it was a joke. Then strange things started happening. Secret clubs I was somehow connected to. Questions I couldn’t answer. A high-society family with a dark past. And then there were them:
Bastian Saidi—my boss’s infuriating, dangerously magnetic nephew, whose smile hides more secrets than his family fortune. And Enzo Woods—charming, elusive, and far too good at making trouble look beautiful.

Somewhere between expensive dinners, sleepless nights, and impossible choices, I started to realise the truth: this isn’t a prank. It’s a test—one that could destroy me, or make me into something else entirely.
Because in this world, money is never free, and love might be the most expensive thing of all… after the price we pay for our lies, of course.

This sharp, darkly hilarious romantic thriller is perfect for readers who love morally grey love interests, rivals with insane chemistry, high-stakes secrets, billionaire drama, and heroines who are a little too smart for their own good.
