Our hearts are fated, but love is a fiery path.

Enemies and friends alike have tried to burn our love to cinders, but through the smoke and ash, the Flame King and I have always found our way back to one another.

When Zabriel places a crown upon my head, his blood and his scent sing of his love for me. All of Maledin celebrates my coronation with the most spectacular Dragon Games the country has ever seen.

But the celebrations are laced with calamity as riders from the wild flare demand to participate, and evil finds its way within the sturdy castle walls.

Maledin’s darkest hour upon us. Fate is not enough to save us, and we will endure the fiery blade of battle only if our love burns true.

Author’s note: The Flame King’s Queen is a slow-burn non-shifter omegaverse MF romance set in a fantasy world of magic and dragonriders. Zabriel is a jealous and possessive hero, and Isavelle is a strong but sweet heroine. This is the final book for Isavelle and Zabriel in the Fire and Desire series.

Title: Until it Was Love
Series: Copper Valley Pounders #1
Author: Pippa Grant
Genre: Romantic Comedy
Tropes: Rugby Romance, Fake Dating, Grumpy
Sunshine, Teammate’s Sister, Enemies to Lovers
Cover Design: Najla Qamber, Qamber Designs
Release Date: April 11, 2024


BLURB

There are a million reasons why I shouldn’t agree to a date with Fletcher Huxley.

He’s a growly-faced, stubborn-streaked, international rugby legend trying to revive his flailing career in the US after being canned by his team overseas.

While he might have the good kind of thunder thighs, intriguing tattoos, and a booty of steel, he also holds the top position on my very short nemesis list thanks to what happened the first time we met.

Plus, his mustache is as terrible as the reason he’s picked me to be the woman he wants to date.

But he has one big checkmark in the why this date is a good idea column: he’s my brother’s new teammate.

They already hate each other.

And my brother has made an unfortunate habit of interfering with my love life recently.

So a revenge date with Fletcher to make my brother mad? While letting Fletcher think this date is merely for the good of the team?

Yep.

I’m in.

I’m moving to London for work in a month. And it’s just one date. What could possibly go wrong?

Until It Was Love is a banter-tastic romcom featuring an overgrown snack of a man with a soft spot for his purse dog, a normally optimistic life coach trying to live her best life, a mustache catastrophe, and one little tiny fainting spell. It stands alone and comes complete with a swoony happily ever after that will leave your heart in a happy puddle of joy.

They fall in love with each other over wings and beer. But before he can get her number, she leaves and takes his heart with her.

As luck would have it, he runs into her a few days later. She’s still as beautiful as ever, with a sizable bruise on her face and defeat haunting her eyes.

He tries to break through her walls, but she’s adamant that she can make it on her own.

Until, that is, her abusive father threatens her baby girl. Then she has no other choice but to run into a blizzard on Christmas Eve to escape him. And she knows just where to go.

To him. Jeremiah Dixon—the man that her heart and soul know is the one meant to fix all the broken things inside of her.

Title: Church Girl
Author: Naima Simone
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Tropes: Opposites Attract, Grumpy/Sunshine
Nanny/Single Dad, Runaway Bride, Tattoo Artist
Publisher: Afterglow Books by Harlequin
Release Date: November 26, 2024


BLURB

She’s a preacher’s daughter, a runaway bride and now the (not quite) qualified nanny for a sexy tattoo artist with a beautiful daughter—and a dirty mouth.

What’s a bad boy to do with a woman like her?

Everything…

Aaliyah Montgomery isn’t just ditching her wedding. She’s also fleeing her suffocating small town and her family’s expectations. She’s got plans—for college, for finding herself. But landing a job in Chicago that fits her schedule isn’t easy. Good thing Von Howard is desperate to find a live-in nanny. Bad thing that he’s a gritty, grumpy, gorgeous tattoo artist carrying as much baggage as he has ink.

Von’s new hire is inexperienced and a fire hazard in the kitchen. She’s also all thick curls, thicker curves, and a distracting mix of innocence and sensuality. After the upheaval of a divorce, he just needs a nanny, not a sneaky link. Meanwhile, Aaliyah is bonding with his seven-year-old and showing an unexpected flair for tattoo art. Who could resist?

Yet deep down, Aaliyah’s still running—from her feelings and her fear of losing herself to someone else’s expectations again. Even as their pasts return to haunt them, their undeniable heat says maybe it’s time to stand and fight for a love they didn’t see coming.

NYT and USA Today Bestselling author Kaylee Ryan brings you a new grumpy-sunshine standalone holiday romance

Blakely

When my boss tells me I’m taking over the planning of the annual Christmas gala, I can barely contain my excitement. Not only is it a huge opportunity, but I also love all things Christmas.

I’m on cloud nine until I realize I have to work closely with the grumpy doctor, who is my opposite in every way. He loathes the holidays. At least that’s what he says. His eyes tell me a different story.

That’s why I make it my mission to make him fall in love with Christmas. That’s our family motto after all. I’ll make him love the holidays harder than ever before. How hard can it be?


Oliver

My contract states I have to serve on a committee. When I fail to submit which committee I’d like to work on, I’m assigned the Christmas gala. Me… the guy who detests the holiday.

In years past, I let the marketing manager handle it all. I was there if she needed me. She never did. I expected more of the same this year, but it turns out, I get more than I bargained for. I didn’t anticipate her. Miss Ray of Sunshine, assistant manager.

That’s how I find myself attending holiday events and attaching myself to her any way I can. She’s trying to make me fall in love with Christmas. Instead, I’m falling in love with her.

Title: Butcher
Authors: Kimberly Knight & Rachel Lyn Adams
Genre: MMF Sports Romance
Tropes: Hockey Romance/Bi-Awakening
Friends to Lovers/Fling to Lovers
Release Date: November 22, 2024


BLURB

My life has revolved around hockey for as long as I can remember. Early morning skates, grueling training camps, and endless road trips. There’s never been distractions, no dating, and definitely no one finding out the secret I’ve kept to myself.

I always figured I’d wait until I hung up my skates to explore my sexuality outside the rink.

But they changed me.

After a night out celebrating a championship win, I find myself in a hotel room with Levi Sexton, my straight teammate and son of a small-town pastor, and Kaylee Peters, the stunning bombshell my captain introduced us to. What begins as a no-strings-attached good time turns into a lot more than what we all thought it would.

Once the three of us decide to make things official, Levi and I have to pretend we’re just friends, but he has a secret of his own. One that could shatter everything if his judgmental family ever found out. When Kaylee faces a sudden health crisis, it shocks us to our cores, and suddenly, our relationship feels like it’s skating on thin ice.

I don’t know if we’ll make it through unscathed, but one thing’s for sure: I’m not ready to lose either of them.

Not now.

Not ever.

My name is Austin Butcher, and while I’m always ready to drop the gloves on the ice, there’s a deeper love stirring within me for Levi and Kaylee—the two people who bring out my softer side.

This is our story.
