Elas (Mate's Mark, #2)

G. Eilsel

For almost a century, we’ve believed the prophecy to be a hoax. The promise of Fated Mates being the cure to this ruined world was a beautiful story, a romantic lie told to keep us in line. Nothing more than an idyllic promise to make us work together.Only we never did, and the world only suffered more.Joining the military has turned my life into a monotonous cycle of schedule, routine, and order. Day after day, I wake at the same time, and wear the same uniform, and stare at the same power-hungry faces I’ve been commanded by for decades. Days blur into weeks, and weeks turn into years where it feels like nothing ever happens. Nothing ever changes.Until the day it does….The prophecy is real, my best friend has disappeared with his mate, and now I’m here, alone, keeping my last promise to him. Protect August.It’s not hard to track him down, but the human is the last thing I expected. August, a medic, is confined to a cell with the rest of his rebel friends, but despite this waste of a world and the terrible things he’s seen in this life, he’s good. Sunshine and smiles, endless curiosity and infallible happiness. He views the world with a positivity I can’t figure out, and it pulls me into his gravity, eliciting conflicted feelings that have no place in a warrior like me.In a life that’s riddled with darkness, August is light, and I can’t seem to look away from his glow.Author's note: Elas is a First Person Dual POV MM Monster Romance series with explicit content intended for readers 18+. It is the second in a series that will have an overarching storyline carrying between books. While this series ends with a guaranteed HEA, individual books end on more of a HFN basis. The feature couple's story will be resolved, though there will be some unanswered questions and mild cliffhangers that lead into the next in the series.

The Ornithologist's Field Guide to Love

India Holton

Rival ornithologists hunt through England for a rare magical bird in this historical-fantasy rom-com reminiscent of Indiana Jones but with manners, tea, and helicopter parasols. Beth Pickering is on the verge of finally capturing the rare deathwhistler bird when Professor Devon Lockley swoops in, capturing both her bird and her imagination like a villain. Albeit a handsome and charming villain, but that's beside the point. As someone highly educated in the ruthless discipline of ornithology, Beth knows trouble when she sees it, and she is determined to keep her distance from Devon.  For his part, Devon has never been more smitten than when he first set eyes on Professor Beth Pickering. She's so pretty, so polite, so capable of bringing down a fiery, deadly bird using only her wits. In other words, an angel. Devon understands he must not get close to her, however, since they're professional rivals.  When a competition to become Birder of the Year by capturing an endangered caladrius bird is announced, Beth and Devon are forced to team up to have any chance of winning. Now keeping their distance becomes a question of one bed or two. But they must take the risk, because fowl play is afoot, and they can't trust anyone else—for all may be fair in love and war, but this is ornithology.
