As an ICU nurse, my hands are trained to save lives. But in the shadows, those same hands grind poysonous plants to ex&cute the mOnsters the justice system lets walk free.

I had it all under control until a workplace incident chains me to a therapist's couch and forces me into Connor's orbit.

But the more | let him in, the more | risk him seeing my darkEst secrets and every broken part of me I hide beneath my s.c.å.r.s.

ƈօռռօʀ

I've spent years helping violent men control their dark impulses while trying to outrun my own past. But nothing prepared me for the beautiful storm that is Elizabeth.

The moment she crashed into my carefully ordered life, she became the one obsession I can't control.

When a ghost from her past resurfaces and threatens to tear us apart, I must decide how far I'm willing to go to protect her and what we've built.

Tell me... would you let Elizabeth anywhere near your drink?

DANE

Twenty years ago, I cornered Whitney at a secret society gathering and told her every filthy thing I'd do to make her mine. The Council told me I couldn't have her. I've waited all these years to own her.

Now she's on the auction block—a widow with a mouth that makes me want to punish her and a secret she thinks she can keep from me. Fifty million dollars, and she belongs to me. I'll spend every night making her prove it.

But my wife is a liar. And I don't punish liars gently.

WHITNEY

I poisoned my first husband to save my daughter from being sold to a monster. I don't regret a single dose.

Now the man who covered it up is blackmailing me into spying on the husband I was just auctioned off to—the head of enforcement for the most powerful secret society in the world. If Dane finds out what I've done, the Council will have me executed. If I don't cooperate, my daughter pays the price.

I wasn't supposed to want my husband. I wasn't supposed to drop to my knees and beg for more. And I certainly wasn't supposed to fall in love with the one person I'm being forced to destroy.

He says I belong to him.

I've belonged to Dane Sinclair since the night he first put his hand on my throat.

624: Swallowed by Darkness by Carly Claire

Blurb

The devil had me dragged out of my bed and tried to make me a deal. Get rid of my baby and he'd compensate me well. There was no way I could get rid of something that had been made out of love, even if it hadn't been planned. I don't know how he even knew. It's not like I told anyone I was pregnant, much less my fiancé’s father. But when he locked me in his study with him, he knew... and he was desperate to put an end to it.

If you don't take a devil's bargain, you may just find yourself in hell anyway. That's what happened to me. I couldn't get rid of my child, and I couldn't run... he was too fast. There were too many of them.

They ruined me that night, and dragged me into their twisted world.

There's no hope here. No color. Just captives, prisoners, each used for whatever we can provide. We just hold on as long as we can to who we used to be, until that's taken too. And while it's a horror we all endure, I'm the only one who has a ticking time bomb inside of them.

I know I'll die here. What I don't know is if my baby will, too.

A man walks into a salon... no, wait-a minotaur gets stuck in a tablet, forced to find his fated mate only after he's devoured the knowledge of romance novels. Sara has been anxiously waiting for her monster to arrive, promised by her best friend with unholy connections.

Instead she meets Henry, a man written straight out of a weird romance story; against love she falls for him, anyway. When she discovers Henry is more than meets the eye, can love be enough to overcome gluttony, horns, and a tail?

Holden:

I was raised on a leash.

Not metaphorically or poetically…

An actual fucking collar around my throat, bolted to the concrete beside Mistress’s bed.

I learned early on that obedience tasted better than starvation and blood could be washed away, where broken bones couldn’t be.

At night I was freed from my chains…

sent as her prized dog to hunt for her next bitch.

My job was simple:

Find them, break them, sell them.

Until him.

He thought he was hunting a monster.

He didn’t realize I was leading him straight into my cage.

Hollis:

I didn’t become a cop to let red tape stop me.

My boyfriend has been missing for months and this bureaucratic bullshit was not going to stand.

I knew it was a trap the moment I saw breadcrumbs, but I can’t stop myself from diving into the dark world I’ve found myself in.

He was ruthless, trying to break me, but I wouldn’t shatter like the others.

I will take him down with me.

Despite how hard I fight. I am losing who I am.

And as the pieces fall.

They are creating a new puzzle.

Who we are together.

BLURB:

When Gabriella’s brother goes missing, survival becomes her only priority. Desperate to help her mother, she turns to the one family she swore she’d never need and accepts a summer position as a maid on a luxury yacht owned by her brother’s best friend.

But the moment she steps on board, she realizes she’s made a mistake. Because he’s there. Oliver Sinclair, her childhood crush. The boy she once loved is now a man who won’t let the yacht leave without her.

Trapped between love and hate, Gabriella is forced to stay around a playboy billionaire who knows far more than he admits. When a violent storm leaves them shipwrecked on a desolate island with nothing but a lighthouse and a deep blue sea full of hungry sharks, survival is no longer the only thing at stake.

As buried lies begin to surface, the line between hatred and hunger blurs into an obsession neither of them can escape. Because some loves were never meant to be found, and some secrets were never meant to be told.

𝔸𝕟𝕚𝕞𝕒𝕝 𝕋𝕒𝕞𝕖𝕣 by Arden Hart

Releases: 24th July 2026

🦁Blurb🐻

I don't let anyone touch me. Not anymore.

I have no problem trusting animals. People, though? They're another matter.

Then Wren shows up at my carnival asking questions about my menagerie. She's got kind hands and suspicious eyes, and she flinches every time I get close—like she senses the beast inside.

She should be afraid of me.

But she looks at my scars like she wants to understand them.

Nobody has ever wanted to understand them.

I've survived the demons of my past by keeping everyone at a distance. But Wren is the first person in years who makes me want to close it.

And that might be more dangerous than anything that came before.

Animal Tamer is a dark romance featuring an untouchable beast master, a vet tech who came looking for cruelty and found something far more complicated, and a love balancing on the knife-edge between broken and healing.

Available on KU & in paperback

⛓️Blurb⛓️

As the old saying goes, “Run away to the circus,” and it seems that is exactly what I have done. Except, this isn’t just any circus—it’s Oddity Carnival and Cirque, reputed to be the most horrifying spectacle in the States. It turns out, I wasn’t just running away from terror—I was unwittingly walking straight back into its chilling embrace.

Attempting to adjust to my new life of madness, I find myself plunged into a waking nightmare: Hellion, the ringleader of The Hollow’s. With eyes like swirling vortexes and tattoos that seem to writhe and pulse across his skin, he ensnares me in his twisted web, his sinister obsession fixating on his broken dolly.

Hellion seeks to shatter me, to break me down through pain and suffering for his own sick pleasure. But what he fails to realize is that pain is not foreign to me—it’s my home. As he delves deeper into his depraved games, he’ll come to understand that I am not so easily broken. I am a mosaic of splintered fragments and intricate puzzle pieces, a complex enigma that even Hellion, with all his distorted needs, may struggle to grasp or comprehend.

Once a sadist’s cravings collide with a masochist’s submissive desires, the world around us dissolves into a mist of forbidden darkness and insatiable bliss, where boundaries blur and inhibitions fade into oblivion. As evil as this carnival may be, where illusions intertwine with shadows, the essence of who we are remains incomparable, defying the delirium that surrounds us.

But, beneath our façade of face paints and behind our veils of secrecy, lie haunting truths that have the power to reshape the very fabric of our deranged reality.

He was built to be bulletproof. She's the one thing that can break him.

Briar Thornton has spent months outrunning her past, but when she's drawn to the small Montana town of Bane Falls with the death of her late uncle and his estate to handle, she runs straight into a new nightmare―and a man more dangerous than the one who tried to kill her.

Roman Syxx isn't a savior. He's a weapon―cold, precise, and programmed by the Dark Forces to destroy anything and anyone. As the lieutenant of the covert Icarus Squad, he's in Bane Falls on orders: infiltrate, eliminate, disappear. But the new girl that randomly shows up in the small town fractures his control in ways no enemy ever could.

Drawn together by their traumas, they burn through each other's defenses until love feels as lethal as war. And when Briar's hidden connection to Roman's mission is exposed, both will learn that freedom always comes with a body count.
