From bestselling indie author and TikTok favorite Laura Thalassa
comes a witch fantasy set in the world of the Bargainer series. At
age twenty, Selene Bowers desperately hopes to be accepted into
Henbane Coven, an academy for young witches. Since one of the
requirements for entry is to connect with her powers via a quest
through the wilderness, Selene books a trip to South America. When
a nefarious supernatural force tries to drag her plane from the
sky, Selene's magic awakens to save her life-at a cost. Using her
powers devours her memories, one by one. Worse, when Selene braves
the jungle and discovers the source of the attack, she finds
herself awakening an ancient evil, Memnon the Cursed, who mistakes
Selene for his long-dead wife. The wife who betrayed him. Selene
manages to escape and begin her studies at Henbane, but when Memnon
turns up at the coven and witches are found dead across campus,
Selene becomes entangled in a dangerous plot. Accused of the
murders on the basis of her memory loss, Selene must rely on
Memnon's help for answers-and his plans for her will change
everything.
Suddenly out of the blue a letter arrived that would change Norma's
life completely. After reading it and not really taking in what was
written there she read it a second time asking herself 'Why Me'!
She could not believe what was written there and kept saying to
herself over and over 'Why Me' why has he left it to me? It must be
meant for someone else! She couldn't be that lucky could she? After
all the dark days she had endured since her husband Ben had died so
suddenly this would be some sort of miracle if it was true but she
knew it couldn't possibly be! But what if? A 'New Chapter in her
Life' about to begin and if so where might it lead?
A rollicking, big-hearted story of long-lost love, friendship, and a life well-lived, set at a Florida retirement resort for queer women, on the last day of resident Hannah Cardin’s life.
It’s 2067 and Florida is partially underwater, but even that can’t bring down the residents of Palm Meridian Retirement Resort, a utopian home for queer women who want to revel in their twilight years. Inside, Hula-Hoopers shimmy across the grass, fiercely competitive book clubs nearly come to blows, and the roller-ski team races up and down the winding paths. Everywhere you look, these women are living large.
Hannah Cardin has spent ten happy years under these tropical, technicolor skies, but after receiving a terminal cancer diagnosis, she has decided that tomorrow morning she will close her eyes for the very last time. Tonight, however, Hannah and her raucous band of friends are throwing one hell of an end-of-life party. And with less than twenty-four hours left, Hannah is holding out for one final, impossible thing…
Amongst the guest list is Sophie, the love of Hannah’s life. They haven’t spoken since their devastating breakup over forty years ago, but today, Hannah is hoping for the chance to give her greatest love one last try.
As Hannah anxiously awaits Sophie’s arrival, her mind casts back over the highs and lows of her kaleidoscopic life. But when a shocking secret from the past is revealed, Hannah must reconsider if she can say goodbye after all.
Spanning the course of a single day and seventy-odd years, and bursting with irresistible hope, humor, and wisdom, this one-of-a-kind novel celebrates the unexpected moments that make us feel the most alive.

All my life, I’ve wanted nothing more than to escape my father’s
compound. Half human, half vampire, I have none of the perks and all of
the weaknesses. Well, my father’s finally found a use for me. He’s sent
me to Malachi Zion, the last vampire in his family. My role is to play
resident blood bank and, should Malachi knock me up, my father gets
access to a whole new bloodline to control.
No one asks me what I want. But the longer I spend with Malachi, the
more I realize that he’s not the monster I first thought, which makes
it harder to resist the heat that flares between us. And then his two
friends show up and complicate things exponentially. As long as we’re
stuck in this house together, I’m a trap just waiting to be sprung.
But if we break free, there’s nothing holding these vampires to me… In
gaining the one thing I want more than anything—my freedom—I might just
lose everything.

author and TikTok sensation, Lauren Asher
Rafael
Ellie Sinclair is a hopeless romantic who writes love songs.
I'm a struggling workaholic who could inspire a hundred breakup albums.
On paper, we have nothing in common except for my son.
For eight months, I avoid her until our summer trip.
Fourteen days. Two islands. And one nanny I shouldn't be attracted to.
Spending time with Ellie is expected, but enjoying her company?
That isn't part of our travel plans.
After my divorce, I swore to protect my heart at all costs.
Even if it means breaking hers in the process.
Ellie
What's worse than working for a grumpy single dad?
Admitting that I once had a secret crush on him in high school.
Thankfully, Rafael Lopez and I have changed since we graduated from
Wisteria High.
He is a billionaire with a company to run and a child to take care of.
I'm an unemployed songwriter he hired to watch his son and teach music.
We coexist without any issues until a vacation changes everything.
Lines blur and old feelings for Rafael return with vengeance as I face
a new dilemma.
Being his son's nanny is one thing, but wishing for more?
Sounds like a heartbreak song waiting to be written.
Once Upon a Time meets The Office in Hannah Maehrer’s laugh-out-loud
viral TikTok series turned novel, about the sunshine assistant to an
Evil Villain…and their unexpected romance.
ASSISTANT WANTED: Notorious, high-ranking villain seeks loyal,
levelheaded assistant for unspecified office duties, supporting staff
for random mayhem, terror, and other Dark Things In General. Discretion
a must. Excellent benefits.
With ailing family to support, Evie Sage's employment status isn't just
important, it's vital. So when a mishap with Rennedawn’s most infamous
Villain results in a job offer—naturally, she says yes. No job is
perfect, of course, but even less so when you develop a teeny crush on
your terrifying, temperamental, and undeniably hot boss. Don’t find
evil so attractive, Evie.
But just when she’s getting used to severed heads suspended from the
ceiling and the odd squish of an errant eyeball beneath her heel, Evie
suspects this dungeon has a huge rat…and not just the literal kind.
Because something rotten is growing in the kingdom of Rennedawn, and
someone wants to take the Villain—and his entire nefarious empire—out.
Now Evie must not only resist drooling over her boss but also figure
out exactly who is sabotaging his work…and ensure he makes them pay.
After all, a good job is hard to find.
