Hi all. I'm looking for a few more reviewers for my sapphic spy erotic thriller. If you enjoy romance with a touch of smut and tension. I think you'll enjoy it.

Blurb: Agent Lydia Mercer has spent ten years using seduction as a weapon. She's never been the one who got played.

Sent into Venice alone, with no backup, she has one job: seduce the ADH's deadliest operative and walk away with a set of classified documents. It should be routine. Lydia has done this a hundred times.

Nothing about this woman is routine.

Before the night is over, Lydia is handcuffed, disarmed, and at the mercy of an agent who somehow knows secrets that were never in her file. She gets what she came for. She doesn't get out with her certainty, her control, or her heart intact.

And Venice isn't done with her yet. 

Triggers: explicit sapphic sex scenes including BDSM elements (restraints, impact play, power exchange), violence/captivity, strong language, and betrayal.

Blurb:

The dead come to her. He chose to stay.

Amadella Vaelora is the warning mothers whisper. The last daughter of House Tanzanite lives alone in the haunted forest of Nytherra, breaking curses, tending spirits, and bearing the blame for a betrayal that destroyed her family three centuries ago. While the crown calls her bloodline cursed, the dead know the truth, and they have begun arriving with warnings that the darkness surrounding her forest is growing stronger.

Commander Theron Valseic has devoted his life to the crown, only to be repaid with a deadly assassin's curse hidden beneath his ribs. When he stumbles through Amadella's magical wards, saving him should be straightforward. Instead, they discover his curse bears the crown's seal, and the only way to heal him is through a magical bond that exposes every secret they carry.

As buried truths threaten to restore House Tanzanite or erase it forever, Amadella and Theron must decide whether to trust one another despite everything that stands between them. If they fail, the darkness consuming the forest will claim far more than either of them imagined.

The House of Tanzanite is a high-heat adult fantasy romance featuring a wounded commander, a forbidden healer, forced proximity, a consent-based magical bond, slow-burn romance, spirit magic, political intrigue, found family, and a guaranteed happily ever after.

As the universe approaches its cold and bitter end, humanity survives by hiding inside a constructed simulation. But inside, something is wrong. A plague of memory loss known as "The Forgetting" haunts humanity, and everyone has forgotten the doom they were escaping.

Hello everyone, I'm currently looking for ARC readers for my upcoming horror novel, Where Fear Smiles! Details below:

Would you forgive your best friend if she was responsible for ruining your life?

A whispered rumour draws a group of students into the dense forests of coastal Brazil: a lost Indigenous artifact, hidden for centuries and promising academic glory.

While Leah’s colleagues are determined to claim it, she only agrees to the trek because she can’t bear the thought of being left behind, and forces her best friend Charlotte to go with her for support against her dark thoughts.

What was meant to be an escape from the weight of the academic semester, quickly it turns into a test of endurance. The deeper they push into the forest, the darker Leah begins to dream. When they finally uncover what they came for, the discovery reveals something far more terrifying than any of them imagined.

A demon born of nightmares is unleashed, and with it, carnage.

Now the survivors must find a way to drive the nightmare back to its realm before society is doomed to never dream again. But as the forest closes in, the greatest horror isn't the ancient evil — it's watching a lifelong trust begin to rot.

Thank you to everyone interested in being a part of the team! :)

Hey all! This is a short sci-fi novella and my very first publication, so I'm really excited but also slightly nervous, but I'm pretty proud of it! Little Nightmares/Miyazaki vibes!

Blurb:

Automation has its place in the world. The eerie thing about it is that it doesn't stop, even when we do.

He has been here for sixty three years. He knows the ship the way you know a room you have never left. The pressure gauge in the aft chamber. The clock that needs winding at noon. The table that needs setting at eight, for people who no longer come.

When his duties fall quiet for the first time, he descends into the ship below his deck — and discovers a world he never knew existed.

He has never thought to wonder why.

He wasn't programmed to.

Room after room. Machine after machine. Each one doing their job in perfect silence. Each one completely alone.

A novella about what lives at the bottom of things. And what happens when, after sixty three years, something finally looks up.

Blurb:

Dr. Kyah Starling built her life around saving animals. Her emergency veterinary clinic is spotless, controlled, and entirely her own.

Then a stranger arrives at two in the morning carrying an injured pit bull and wearing blood, rain, and black leather like a warning.

Xoren is dangerous. He runs the Iron Veil Motorworks club and leaves flowers, anonymous donations, and evidence that he's been watching Kyah's life for far longer than she realized.

Kyah should be terrified of him. Instead, she can't stop being drawn to him.

When a rival gang running a dogfighting operation closes in on the clinic, Kyah is pulled into Xoren's world of motorcycles, secrets, loyalty, and violence. Wanting him doesn't make him safe, and she must decide whether Xoren is the danger she needs to escape or something she's been too afraid to choose.

Blurb:

This marriage is a strict business deal until he demands a kiss to seal their vows.

From an early age, Jin all ever want is to inherit her family’s hotels. She almost lost her chance when she became a single mother instead of marrying someone to save face after her ex-boyfriend jilted her. Two years later, she’s more than determined to claim what’s rightfully hers, and she’d do anything to fulfill her promise to her late grandfather to protect the family’s business, even if it means taking a husband. Only she’d choose for herself and her twins.

Dalton Lee only wants one thing or someone—Jin Song. He’s certain he’d marry her before he even knew what love is, and he’d do it by hook or crook. But before he could tell his wife how he truly feels, he needs to fulfill the bargain he struck with his father. To serve the Song International Hotel on a platter.

They exchange vows of fidelity and mutual support, but not of love, until a kiss solidifies that their union is anything but an arrangement. Can their vows withstand when secrets and hidden plots come to light?

From high school academic rivals to man and wife, this power couple weaves through domestic and corporate life in this steamy, single mom, marriage-of-convenience romance novel. Holding The Universe is the second book of the Asian Heirs Club Series, but can be read as a standalone. No cheating. Guaranteed HEA.

She fears the killer hiding beneath his restraint.
The terrible truth is that they are the same man.

Alexander Vale kills the monsters the law cannot stop. Anna works beside the next one on his list.

Anna has survived by trusting no one. Then Alexander walks into her office and gives her a reason to lower her defenses. What she doesn't know is that their meeting was carefully planned.

Anna was supposed to be a shortcut to Alexander's target. Instead, one meeting becomes coffee, coffee becomes dates, and the woman he intended to use becomes the only person capable of making him question the violent life he has chosen.

But while Alex struggles to hide his true identity, the predator working beside Anna begins watching her. Soon, she must decide whether to fear the killer behind Alexander's charm or accept that the velvet glove and the iron knuckles belong to the same hand she has fallen in love with.

Senior flight attendant Sloane Reyes had one rule about hookups on the job.

Then she flew to Reykjavík, broke a different rule with an Icelandic textile artist at one in the morning, and boarded the return flight to Boston with the captain's card in her pocket and the captain himself in the left seat for another eight hours.

Nobody tells you what to do with the return leg.

Nobody tells you that Mr. Westbrook from Boston's Back Bay, who watched Sloane work the outbound flight without touching the call button once, will be a passenger again with a folded piece of paper and a genuine job offer. Or that a retired oncologist in row 4A will decide she wants to hear one more real story after twenty-two years of listening to everyone else's.

And nobody tells you what happens when bad weather closes in over Boston and strands the entire crew at a Halifax airport hotel.

At 7:11 p.m., Captain Marek Reeves knocks on Sloane's hotel room door and finally says the sentence she's been waiting one hundred and fifty flights to hear.

The captain was for later.

Later is tonight.

Triggers: Explicit sexual content (18+), workplace power dynamics.

When a devastating lapse in judgment leads to a brutal fight with serious consequences, Hunter is finally forced to confront the truth behind his teammate's behavior. Now he must decide whether to let years of insecurity control his future or take a risk on a forbidden attraction that could change everything.

What he doesn't know how to handle is a rebellious teenager pushing boundaries or the determined music teacher encouraging her to follow her dreams.

Mia Mills came to the Italian lakeside town of Lacustria to start over. As a music teacher, she promised herself she would stay out of trouble and keep her distance from people who could get hurt because of her. But when Alessandra secretly applies to a prestigious music summer camp, Mia refuses to let fear stop her from helping a talented young musician.

In 2175, humanity has conquered the solar system and seemingly lives in harmony as it expands outward. That is, until a massive, enigmatic ten-sided object—the Decahedron—enters the solar system.
