The FAE Series 1: FAE

The FAE Series 1: FAE

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.

After Sundown

Laura Venus

After a painful breakup, Alice escapes the chaos of city life to flip a rundown cottage in a sleepy countryside village. The project is supposed to be her fresh start—but between peeling paint and tangled weeds, she finds herself more lost than ever. Then she meets the man she hires to restore the garden: gruff, quiet, and far too good at keeping his distance. He’s the kind of mystery that tempts her to dig deeper. As the days pass and the garden slowly blooms, so does something between them—gentle, unexpected, and healing in ways neither imagined. Because sometimes, the most beautiful things take root when you stop running.

Love Mark Fantasy Book 1: One True Love

Love Mark Fantasy Book 1: One True Love

Linda Kage

Custom demanded that Prince Urban get a love mark tattooed to the side of his left eye as an infant, just like the rest of his people, but to him, the stupid things have only brought on the scorn of his father, the misery of his siblings, and caused his entire kingdom to go broke from fighting so many wars over the irritating ink stains.

When Urban’s sister must travel to Donnelly, the kingdom within the sand, for her arranged marriage to align two realms, he goes with her. But he no sooner steps foot inside their castle than his mark starts itching like a son of a bitch, telling him his one true love is near.

It just figures, though, that the woman meant for him is completely forbidden. Now he must decide if he should ignore the persistent mark, telling him she's the one, in order to avoid a possible war between kingdoms, or if he should discover whether she's worth risking everything for so they can be together. Either way, his life gets sucked into chaos with threats of beheadings, dark magic lurking, castle traitors scheming, and sword fights eminent.

Who knew one little tattoo could cause so much trouble?

Artemis' Gift

Artemis' Gift

M. Syrah

I didn’t mean to mindlink the lycan king when I was in danger. I meant to reach out to my werewolf brother. Apparently my special abilities for a weak human, granted by Artemis, aren’t that helpful. Because now I have an angry lycan king at my back while I’m dealing with vampire attacks.

Ellie seems like a carefree demon hunter now, but she wasn’t always this way. Once a disciplined member of the ambitious first squad, she spiraled down a path that changed everything. This is Ellie’s story—the fall that reshaped her, the shadows she chased, and the choices that cost her more than she ever expected. Along the way, she is drawn into a forbidden love that should never exist: an angel and a demon bound by desire and danger. As duty clashes with temptation, Ellie must face how far she’s fallen—and whether love born in darkness can survive the light.

Forbidden Men Spin-off: Every Time my Heart Breaks

Forbidden Men Spin-off: Every Time my Heart Breaks

Linda Kage

How do you make yourself fall in love with someone?

After his family friend, Chloe Ryan, is traumatized by a disturbed ex-boyfriend, Luke Hamilton is "encouraged" to step up and be the kind of partner she needs. Problem is, he's never been in love before. He's not one to give up on much of anything, though. His stubborn, competitive nature, mixed with the dutiful loyalty he inherited from his parents, makes it impossible for him to say no. And romancing Chloe becomes priority number one.

But his feisty contender gives him the challenge of a lifetime when she'd rather argue with him than accept a simple compliment. Chloe demands honest, genuine feelings from someone before she'll even think about opening her heart again, and since Luke refuses to back down from his determined quest, he decides to grow some feelings.

Except, uh, yeah? That's easier said than done since he has no idea how to even begin the process of falling.


Chloe is a simple woman with simple wants. All she'd like is to work her job, find a partner to share her life with, and then grow a family with him.

But apparently, that's just too much to ask for. After her ex kidnaps and terrorizes her, Chloe is suddenly put on six weeks of leave from her job to recover, she can't handle it when anyone touches her to even consider dating again, and her big dream of the simple life seems more impossible to reach than ever.

Until Luke bulldozes his way into the picture, determined to help her through her rough patch and promising her everything she's ever wanted.

The problem is Chloe loved Luke way back when she was young, and no one's ever broken her heart the way he did when he didn't even notice her in return. No way is she going to risk more heartbreak at his hands now. And so Chloe becomes just as determined to push him away as he is to stick by her side.

Elena Ayre

As his hand drifted up my neck, he felt like a beast. "You saved my life Juliette," he said. "And now I am bound to you. It is a bond that cannot be broken until my debt is repaid. Until I fulfill your deepest desires, I cannot, and I will not, let you go.”

When Juliette pulls a warrior back from the edge of death, she never expects the price to be a bond that binds her to him. Fierce, unyielding, and impossible to ignore, he swears he won’t release her until her heart’s desire is fulfilled. But what exactly does she crave? A bond forged in fire becomes a dangerous game of power, passion, and unspoken need. Every glance is a dare, every touch a promise—and with each moment, the line between captor and protector blurs. Juliette must decide whether the bond is her cage or her key… and just how far she’s willing to let him go to give her everything she secretly longs for.

Halloween’s supposed to be scary… but no one warned her it might also be scorching.
