Synopsis: 


​​A young heiress must disguise herself to attend a prestigious, all-male university, where she unexpectedly falls for her handsome tutor, in this swoony historical romance by the USA Today bestselling author of Queen Bee.

Lady Rosalin Chen has a secret—she isn’t as vapid as she pretends to be. In fact, she’s a computing genius and smarter than most of her peers in the ton, including her own cousin, Ansel. It’s a secret she’s kept for years, not that hiding her intelligence has done her any favors in the marriage department.

In fact, after several dismal social seasons in London, she’s practically considered a spinster. With little to lose, she decides to set her sights on getting a proper education rather than finding a husband. Disguised as Ansel, who truly could be her twin, she attends Cambridge University while he galivants around Europe on a secret Grand Tour.

There Rosalin crosses quills with the Trinity College’s mathematics prodigy and her tutor Tarik St. Clair. For the first time in her life, Rosalin is genuinely intrigued by a boy. His mind seems to be as sharp as hers. Unfortunately, as a commoner, Tarik doesn’t fit her parents’ expectations. But what if he could? What if she concocted one more audacious plan that could raise his station and finally take her off the market? She just has to hope that her lies don’t catch up to her.

Genre: Adult Romance

Synopsis: 


​​All's fair in love and magic.

Gwendolynne Chan just needs to get through her final year. At Seamere College of Magical Veterinary Sciences, she spends her days using her powers to heal companion animals while her nights are spent studying for exams. As the top student in the magical familiars stream, she is on track to be awarded Dux of the entire school - as long as the pretentious twat Harrisford Briggs doesn't beat her to it.

Harrisford Briggs was born into privilege. His father, the Chief Financial Officer of Magecorp, a major global distributor of magic, expects him to come top of the year. Harrisford, though, can't help but notice that his father has been acting odd. Really odd. And there are strange whisperings, too. Rumours of uncontrollable surges of excess magic, which Magecorp has been trying to cover up, as well as rampant corruption within the Magical Ministry itself.

When these magical surges begin to rock their way through London, causing chaos and explosions and familiars going feral, Gwen and Harrisford find themselves without a reliable source of magic, putting both of their academic careers at risk. To fix this, they must put aside their duelling feelings of lust and loathing, and - along with Gwen's snarky cat familiar - team up to diagnose the problem. If they fail, not only is their education at stake, but also the fate of the magical world.

Genre: YA Horror
​
​
Synopsis: 


​​I'm the only one left hunting the monster, the only one left with a chance of saving us all.

Raised in a town surrounded by a labyrinthian, man-eating swamp, Lili craves nothing more than to track down the monster lurking in its depths and kill it.

The monster’s curse claims the flesh and bone of every adult in town, stealing them away, piece by piece. For generations, people have tried to kill it or escape the town altogether, but every path out of town leads them right back in.

Caleb, a bookish boy with dreams of freedom, is hungry to escape. He thinks that with Lili’s help and knowledge of the swamp, he can make a map to freedom. And Lili hopes that with a better sense of its territory, she might finally find and kill the monster.
​

Together, they chart the swamp’s shifting terrain. Sharing in the danger and the beauty of the landscape sparks a friendship between them—and then something more. However, what they discover disrupts everything Lili thought she knew about the town, her father, the monster—even herself. The truth at the root of the curse could devour them all. And Lili must decide if risking her life to be the town’s savior is worth sacrificing her own chance of escape.

Pub Date: May 12, 2026

Genre: YA, Paranormal Romance
​
​
Synopsis: 


​​A swoonworthy YA supernatural romcom where two academic rivals are trapped as ghosts to haunt the same house.

They'd kill each other ... if they weren't already dead.


Tessa Sinclair is a winner. Winner of spelling bees, science fairs, and scholarships. So when she finds herself unexpectedly dead after a graduation party in an abandoned mansion, she's none too pleased. What's worse, her academic rival—the Harvard-bound, Mr. Perfect Reed Walker—is there too, deceased, smug, and annoying as hell.

Being a ghost is hard enough, but it's a thousand times worse having to haunt the same house with your nemesis. But as Tessa and Reed retreat to R.I.P in their respective corners of the mansion, a mystery unfurls about the exact cause of their deaths.

Though they'd rather die (again) than work together, they'll need to find a way to overcome their differences to hunt down a murderer on the loose. And should they happen to fall for each other along the way... who ever said you can't find love after death?

To receive her inheritance, Avery must move into sprawling, secret passage-filled Hawthorne House, where every room bears the old man's touch -- and his love of puzzles, riddles, and codes. Unfortunately for Avery, Hawthorne House is also occupied by the family that Tobias Hawthorne just dispossessed. This includes the four Hawthorne grandsons: dangerous, magnetic, brilliant boys who grew up with every expectation that one day, they would inherit billions. Heir apparent Grayson Hawthorne is convinced that Avery must be a conwoman, and he's determined to take her down. His brother, Jameson, views her as their grandfather's last hurrah: a twisted riddle, a puzzle to be solved. Caught in a world of wealth and privilege, with danger around every turn, Avery will have to play the game herself just to survive.

Genre: Adult Fantasy, Romance
​
​
Synopsis: 


​​ On the hunt for hidden treasure, two former best friends turned adversaries must put the past behind them if they hope to make it home.

This childhood-friends-to-lovers male/male romantic fantasy for fans of Tusk Love and Sara Raasch crackles with tension and heat.

When he isn’t training as a Warden to become half the hero his father was, Griff Sayer is in the business of breaking hearts all across the town of Mayfair, although that slows down after settling in with his current boyfriend. Griff’s ex–best friend, Mal Pryce, meanwhile, is in business with whatever or whoever puts good money in his hands. Now in their mid-twenties, Griff and Mal have only exchanged scathing looks and carefully barbed jabs since the fight that sent them their separate ways years ago. But all that begins to change when an attack Mal plotted for his shady boss leaves Griff near death and their childhood friend Alys as his savior, forcing them back into each other’s orbit.

Livid at his boss, Mal makes a deal to earn his freedom and Griff’s safety. He has just four weeks to retrieve an ancient treasure from Rotrose Mire, a remote swamp known for its ghostly and beastly dangers, the same treasure Alys’s beloved father, Rhun, had been searching for when he disappeared for good. Armed with a map and a broken blade of Rhun’s, Mal sets off—with Alys and a reluctant and newly single Griff in tow.

Yet the explosive tension between the two men—along with the dangers of the mire pressing in around them—makes for a more difficult journey than any of them could have anticipated. As Griff and Mal peel back their tough facades and shared feelings heat up in unexpected ways as they learn to trust again, they also realize that someone—or something—seems to be following their path. Someone who doesn’t want them to succeed, no friend to their parents’ old enemies, but also no friend to would-be heroes…

Our Rogue Fates is a second-chance spicy Achillean romance with the questing spirit of Dungeons & Dragons, perfect for fans of Critical Role.

'Thistlemarsh' by Moorea Corrigan - pub day spotlight

Thistlemarsh by Moorea Corrigan
Thistlemarsh
Moorea Corrigan


Publisher: 
Berkley Publishing Group / Berkley

Pub Date: Apr. 21, 2026

Genre: Fantasy
​
​
Synopsis: 
​

​'Howl's Moving Castle' meets Emily Wilde's 'Encyclopaedia of Faeries' in Moorea Corrigan's epic fantasy debut, 'Thistlemarsh.' This genre-blending novel feels like a classic faerie-tale for grown-ups: whimsical fun, and exciting, but also rife with dark twists and harrowing secrets.

Set in England in the aftermath of WWI, the novel follows a plucky heroine tasked with restoring a crumbling estate—think Downton Abbey, but in ruins. She has one month to complete the job, or else she will lose the manor to her reviled cousin. It’s a seemingly impossible undertaking—until a Faerie appears with a loaded proposition.
 
Corrigan’s debut has something for every reader: gorgeously written prose; accessible world building; likeable, relatable, nuanced characters; and a surprising love story. It calls to mind the wonder and delight found within the pages of Lewis Caroll’s Through the Looking-Glass. Weaving actual history with faerie folklore, THISTLEMARSH is the kind of book that will make you feel like you’re discovering magic for the first time.
 
In THISTLEMARSH, Mouse Dunne once dreamed of studying Faeries at university. But instead, her world became a decidedly unmagical place. The Great War led her to pursue a career as a nurse, and with one telegram, the rest of her universe shattered: at the Battle of the Somme, her beloved cousin was killed, and her brother was left with debilitating shell shock. It was time to put aside childish dreams.

Now, the war has ended, and Mouse receives news that her late uncle has left her Thistlemarsh Hall, the once-resplendent manor in the English countryside where she and her brother grew up. If Mouse does not rehabilitate the decaying old house in one month’s time, she will forfeit her inheritance, along with the means to care for her brother. It quickly becomes clear that it’s impossible to repair the manor in the allotted time, until a mysterious Faerie appears, looking to strike a deal. He offers to restore Thistlemarsh...for a price.
 
Faeries have not been seen in England in one hundred years, but one warning remains certain: never trust the fae. Mouse knows better than most that making a bargain with a Faerie is a bad idea—especially with a Faerie so insufferably handsome and arrogant—but with time running out, she throws caution to the wind. And so, the tale unravels….
