Let Hunting Season officially begin... Charlotte Fitzroy has never fit in with high society. Parentless and penniless, she’s on the brink of an unprecedented seventh season without a proposal. When unexpected heartbreak proves she’s further from true love than ever, a trick of dark magic lands her in the Otherworld. There, she’s offered the chance at a title she’d never dreamed possible: Queen of the Fae. To claim it, she’ll have to perform three tasks. Summon the Wild Hunt by piecing together an ancient relic scattered across the kingdom. Charm her hunters, the three beautiful, dangerous Fae dukes who will fight to claim her and become king. And keep her hands off her bodyguard, Sir Lachlan Cathal—the quiet, strapping knight who’s hiding deliciously depraved secrets beneath his chivalrous exterior. But not everyone in the Otherworld wants a mortal queen, and betrayal lurks around every gilded corner. As the hunt stalks toward a bloody, brutal end, Charlotte must make an impossible choice—win the crown or follow her heart? Hunted by the Fae Duke is a dark romantasy standalone and part of the Immortal Hunters collection. This twisted faerie tale is perfect for readers who've always wondered what Bridgerton might look like in the magical world of The Cruel Prince and with kinkier spice.

A hockey romance experiment written by Aurora Steinhart. Aurora had never written this sort of story before. So she took a risk, and thus Checked and Balanced was born. One with low stakes, low mental bandwidth and just a break from the large stories she created else where. With Checked and Balanced, she tries her hand at a Golden Retriever MMC with a heart of gold. As well as a reclusive Black Cat FMC that finds out she's not unlovable, just that no one has loved her the right way. Our MMC is a goofy 6 foot 6 brand new rookie enforcer that loves his old truck and his dog. When he gets drafted for the team of his dreams, he realizes he'll be working with the pretty lawyer down the hall. Even if he doesn't know why she's so closed off, he makes it his very mission to break down those walls and find out why. With our FMC being a withdrawn lawyer for the team her father coaches, she's never been interested in hockey players. She's also never really enjoyed men or relationships in general. So when the brand new rookie on their team attempts to pursue her, not only is she confused. She's rather annoyed. What does this goon want with her? And why is she falling for him faster than she has for anyone else in the past? Aurora plays with tropes and ideas in this book she would be afraid to take a risk with on a higher stakes project. She wrote this for fun, and to share with her readers. Nothing more, nothing less. Just a fun time writing that she could enjoy with her readers without the heaviness that comes with a bigger book release. This book contains mature subject matter and should only be consumed by adults 18 years or older.

Two pink lines on a stick. Not the ideal way to end a work conference. Neither is what happens when I break the news to the guy I spent the night of my life with: our email chain goes silent. The worst part? I should have known better. I’ve been here before, and have a perpetually pissed-off 15-year-old son to prove it. I’m pissed off too. But I’m also not the naive 20-year-old apprentice I once was. I’m a master electrician and seasoned single mom. This will be the do-over I always wanted, no man required—or permitted in my life. Ever again. Then I collide with one on the sidewalk. He’s gracious enough, but when he turns around and those achingly familiar ice-blue eyes meet mine, my stomach hits the pavement. Sam is as handsome as I remember. But the smile that made me reel that night is nowhere to be seen as he takes in the ten-month-old in my stroller—and sees his own eyes staring back at him. But between his shock, a new limp, and that happy-go-lucky demeanour I remember vanished, my anger fizzles. It turns out Sam didn’t fall off the face of the earth. He nearly died right after that conference. At first Sam’s feelings about being a dad are complicated. But it’s not long before he’s knocking on my door, determined to be a part of his son’s life. We start with simple park dates and neighborhood walks. But soon Sam’s everywhere—fixing holes, doing bedtime, and bonding with both my boys. Worse, he looks at me like being a single mom is a super-power, not a curse. And like he remembers the wild sparks from our night together as vividly as I do. But when I realize Sam hasn’t just fallen for my kids, but for me too, the electric fence I rigged around my heart starts to short out. Sam’s all in. And this family we’ve made is better than anything I ever dared dream of. So why do I suddenly feel like running scared?

Excessive Banter Yearning He Falls First "Get it out of our system" Secret Relationship Found Family Small Town Sparked is book three in the Heartbreaker Trades series about women in trades and the men who love them.

Only, instead of bringing her joy, she finds herself divorced and resenting her position at the top, forced to prioritize her career over her daughter, Charlie.

As Olivia’s time in Pinecrest comes to a close, she is faced with a decision that could wreck her heart either way.
