The Unexpected Queen

by Sofia Landeiro

How do you know who to trust? Leah has been in love with her best friend Jake for as long as she can remember. She’s sure they’re fated mates.

Always You: Falling for my Best Friend

Always You: Falling for my Best Friend

by B. E. Harmel

The night of her husband’s funeral, she opens her door to find the last person she ever expected—her high school best friend, her first crush, the boy who vanished years ago and took her heart with him. They’ve both lived whole lives since, with scars they can’t hide. But one look, and the years vanish. The connection is still there—familiar, fierce, and impossible to ignore. Now older, braver, and maybe more broken, they face a choice: take the leap and risk the love they never stopped wanting… or protect their hearts before history repeats itself. Fate rarely knocks twice—but when it does, everything changes.

My Guardian

My Guardian

by Lisa Seven

Juniper’s life fractures the moment she loses her father. Grief pulls her backward while the future rushes in fast, unfamiliar, and full of rules she never agreed to. She is placed under the care of a man tied to her father’s past, steady and watchful, offering structure when everything feels unmoored. As Juniper learns to live in a world shaped by loss, old wounds surface and emotions blur in ways she does not expect. Comfort becomes complicated, closeness feels dangerous, and feelings arrive without permission. She tries to be strong, to be sensible, to behave. But hearts are rarely sensible, especially when longing collides with limits. How do you heal when desire refuses to stay quiet?

The FAE Series 1: FAE

The FAE Series 1: FAE

by Colet Abedi & Jasmine Abedi

FAE is the first installment in a gripping trilogy of Light versus Dark: FAE, by novelists Colet Abedi and Jasmine Abedi. Inspired by a mystery that remains unsolved more than 400 years later – the Lost Colony of Roanoke Island – and with compelling narrative urgency, the authors transport the reader into the world of the Fae, both Light and Dark, as the battle that has been destined for thousands of years is about to begin…

Manteo High School student Caroline Ellis just turned sixteen, setting in motion a series of events that have been fated for centuries. Little does she know that she is the rightful heir to the throne of the Light Fae, and it is believed that she is the one to unite the Light and the Dark through union with her soul mate: heir to throne of the Dark Fae, Devilyn Reilly.

Devilyn is the only one of the Fae who is both of the Light and of the Dark and must struggle to maintain that precarious balance and not to succumb to the power of the Dark within him. Understanding his mission – that he is the only one who can save Caroline from those who would destroy her; destroy all hope for unity amongst the Fae and the very future of humanity – he is reluctantly enrolled at Manteo High School, quickly becoming its star quarterback.

After a tumultuous relationship, Devilyn tells Caroline who she is. Who he is. He promises her that he will protect her at all costs, and this also means protecting her from him. They can and never will be together, for the prophecy also makes clear that the union that will bring peace amongst the Fae will also bring Caroline’s own destruction...

Told from the alternating perspectives of Caroline and Devilyn, FAE draws on mysteries, myths and legends to create a world, and a romance, dangerously poised between Light and Dark.

Well… too late.
