Spotlight: Damned & Broken Gods by Debbie Cassidy

Genre: Dark Fantasy Romance

Cover Designer: Covers by Juan

Publication Date: Sept. 5th, 2025

Blurb: 

Destiny can’t be forged until it is chosen.

Still reeling from the loss of a treasured relationship, I’m thrown into a fresh vat of revelations. Turns out, I’m not just a regular demigod, but one that has royal asura blood in her veins.

As the last of the royal lineage, I have a claim to the throne.

I can change things. I can make a difference. I can free the drohi and all the beings that the gods have under their control…

If the throne accepts me.

The seat of power awaits in the Shahee Kshestra, and I won’t be going alone. Araz, my drohi, my reluctant anchor, will be going with me. Bodyguard, protector, companion and…maybe even a friend? But nothing more, because once I ascend our deal will be done, and I’ll be forced to set him free.

I can’t risk giving him my heart, no matter how much I ache to hand it to him. Because now that he’s no longer against me, now that his golden eyes burn with longing, not contempt, maintaining a boundary is going to be near impossible.

Enter an Otherworldly realm filled with gods, monsters, and mystical beings. Opposites attract and love and conflict collide, in this forced proximity romance.

Spotlight: Boarding Pass by Kaylene Winter

Release Date: September 5

AVAILABLE IN KINDLE UNLIMITED

Love wasn’t on the itinerary. He crashed the trip. 

I’m in Paris with an offer for a career-making solo photography exhibit.

I should be floating on champagne and designer euphoria.

Instead, I’m single and alone at a Tom Selleck-themed wine bar, wondering if thirty-two is too young to start over.

Then he walks in.

Messy hair, leather jacket, a smile I feel in places I haven’t for years.

One accidental wine spill and soul-shaking kiss later…

I’m about to make the most impulsive decision of my life.

I sold my company for freedom, not to get tied down.

Working like a fool is all I’ve ever known.

I need a hard reset. No expectations. No itinerary. Just a one-way ticket to Paris and a suitcase full of unresolved baggage.

Then I see her. 

A knockout with wine-stained lips and eyes that could undo a man.

Our connection is instant, magical, impossible to ignore.

I didn’t come here to fall in love.

But I’m starting to think Paris had other plans.

Boarding Pass is a full-throttle, no-holds-barred romance, perfect if you love dirty talk in French bars, sunrise sex in five-star suites, and the kind of love that doesn’t ask permission.

Cover Reveal: Lucky Laces by Elise Faber

Release Date: September 29

One moment captured on a jumbotron changed my life.

One glance at that screen and…I was Coldplayed.

My fiancé getting caught canoodling on national TV was not on my bingo card for my first season of coaching the NHL’s Oakland Eagles.

Neither was falling for a hockey player on my roster.

I’m not in the market for love, not after being humiliated, and I’m certainly not going to date one of my own players.

Only…the universe keeps pushing us together and every moment I spend with Hudson means my attraction to him grows…until I can’t seem to stay away.

And then I find out he’s playing the long game—

Because he has absolutely no intention of letting me go.

Spotlight: Just (Fake) Married by Hailey Shore

Release Date: September 4

Available in Kindle Unlimited

They’re faking forever. What could possibly go wrong?

Ethan

I swore I’d never set foot in Last Hope Gulch again. I traded cowboy boots for scrubs, the family ranch for the operating room—and left behind one infuriating woman: Harmony Calloway. A do-gooder with a megawatt smile, she’s been getting under my skin since we were kids.

Then my dad died and left a will straight out of a soap opera. If the feuding McGraws and Calloways don’t unite in actual matrimony, the ranch gets sold off—and the town that raised us might just go under. 

So I’m fake-marrying the one woman who’s always made my blood boil... in every possible way.

Harmony

I’ve spent my whole life dedicated to keeping Last Hope Gulch thriving. Marrying Ethan McGraw, my high school heartbreaker —isn't my idea of a good time. But if it saves the town, I’m willing to fake it with a smile. 

The plan is simple: a fake wedding, a fake marriage, and absolutely no real feelings. The only problem? The very inconvenient chemistry we've had since high school and some family secrets that refuse to stay buried.

Between forced proximity, staged kisses, and town gossip hotter than a jalapeño, I am starting to wonder…

What if our fake marriage is the truest thing we’ve ever had?

Spotlight: Hexes & Headlines by Ella Stone

(A Ravens’ Hollow, Book 2)

Genre: Urban Fantasy

Cover Designer: Covers by Christian

Publication Date: Sept. 4th, 2025

When the bark definitely IS worse than the bite

A deadly hex is turning my newspaper colleagues’ skin to bark—and it’s up to me to find the magical killer before they strike again.

I thought moving to Ravens Hollow would be simple. One month into my new supernatural life, I figured my biggest challenges would be housebreaking my oversized puppy and writing fluff pieces for the local paper.

Then dark magic hits The Oracle, pulling me straight into an investigation tangled with vindictive sea witches, feuding werewolf packs, and ancient tree sprite magic even the coven can’t crack.

Now I’m chasing clues with Police Chief Whip—an immortal siren cursed with secrets—and Alex, a too-charming lion shifter who knows how to get under my skin. But in a town where everyone hides something and magic always comes at a price, finding the truth could cost me more than I’m ready to lose.

And the vampire trafficking ring that turned me? They haven’t forgotten about me either.

A paranormal cozy mystery featuring a vampire journalist, small-town supernatural politics, magical mayhem, and a slow-burn romance that defies nature itself.

Synopsis:

He swore to protect his town—but guarding his heart is the real challenge.

Volunteer firefighter Shawn Miller thought he had his life figured out in small-town Elken Grove. His print shop pays the bills while his real passion—fighting fires—keeps him connected to the community he loves.

Then his new Captain walks through the station doors: Rebecca “Becks” Schwartz, the woman who walked out of his life nine years ago. Now she’s his superior officer, and someone in the department is determined to drive her away—or worse.

As danger closes in, Shawn must balance protecting Becks with respecting her authority. But when sparks fly hotter than ever between them, he realizes some flames aren’t meant to be extinguished—they’re meant to be stoked.

Excerpt

“There’s something else you should know before you leave.”

Something in the chief’s tone made Shawn sink back into his chair. “Sir?”

“The new captain is a woman,” Washington said carefully, clearly bracing for resistance. “Rebecca Schwartz from the Charlotte Fire Department. Goes by Becks, according to her application. She’ll be arriving Thursday next week for an informal meet-and-greet at Mr. Jones & Husband, then coming by on Saturday to meet the volunteers during training before officially starting on Monday.” 

Shawn nodded, unfazed by the gender revelation. “A female captain? That’s fine by—“

But the words died in his throat as the full name registered. The folder slipped from his suddenly numb fingers, papers spilling across the floor. Rebecca Schwartz. The name echoed in his head like the aftershock of an explosion.

“Rebecca Schwartz?” he repeated, his voice sounding distant to his own ears.

Washington’s eyebrows rose slightly at Shawn’s reaction. “You know her?”

Know her? Shawn almost laughed at the absurdity of the question. He’d known her as Becca back then—sweet-faced but determined Becca with her infectious laugh and fierce ambition. He’d known the curve of her smile and the scent of her skin. Known her dreams and fears. Known the sound of her voice first thing in the morning and the last thing at night.

Until he hadn’t.

“We trained together,” he said finally, the understatement of the decade. “At the North Carolina Fire Academy. When I knew her, she went by Becca, not Becks.”

Washington frowned, clearly surprised by this information. “I didn’t connect the dots when reviewing your files.” He leaned forward, suddenly concerned. “Is this going to be a problem?”

Shawn bent to gather the scattered papers, grateful for the chance to hide his expression. Memories he’d buried years ago resurfaced in vivid detail—Becca’s fierce determination during training exercises, her infectious laugh during rare moments of downtime, the devastating fury in her eyes the last time they’d spoken.

“I never want to see your face again, Miller. Keep six feet away from me for the rest of our lives.”

He straightened, clutching the reassembled folder, his knuckles white against the manila paper. “No, sir. No problem at all.”
