Romance author Sterling Brown debuts with a modern, suspenseful and spicy fairytale retelling of Beauty and the Beast.
It would be the perfect fairytale, love story for Isobel and Lucas. There's only one problem: he needs to release her as his hostage first.
Isobel Castillo is a woman that has it all: a thriving medical career, a close-knit family and a very public relationship. When her fiancรฉ, Michael Gaston, takes a bid for mayor and her father receives a Nobel prize, the spotlight is forced upon her. Despite expectations, she feels suffocated by the attention and wants so much more than the life they've got planned.
With her relationship in a downward spiral and the press on her back, Isobel yearns for a break from reality. Her wish gets unintentionally answered when she finds herself kidnapped along with her father. Their abductors give him an ultimatum; help expand their drug empire, effectively threatening thousands of lives, or watch his daughter lose hers. Isobel's only saving grace is that the man in charge of babysitting her is already second guessing his actions.
When Lucas Adams willingly got involved in Isobel's kidnapping, his grief and unresolved rage were clouding his judgement. As much as she pushes his buttons, he doesn't have any intentions of hurting her...or letting anyone else. And unbeknownst to Isobel, he's having trouble stifling the feelings that bloom when he's around her.
Their time alone together allows for Isobel to not only test the boundaries of her confinement, but also her heart. When she discovers the real reason for Lucas' involvement in her kidnapping, her entire world gets turned upside down.

BLURB
I was born into Bratva royalty, but that never made me a princess. My entire life I’ve been mocked and ignored, and the only place I’ve ever felt like myself was at the theater, with a needle in my hand and beautiful fabrics around me.
That’s where I met him.
A stranger with a missing button, clear blue eyes, and a voice that made the world feel less cruel for one stolen night.
We only exchanged our first names and talked the night away over warm coffees and pastries before my life came crashing down around me.
Years later, my grandfather is dead, the Bratva is at war, and I’m imprisoned because of my family. I’m broken, bruised, and forgotten until the new pakhan comes to inspect his prisoners.
Rodian Volkov.
The man I never forgot. Only now, he isn’t a stranger with gentle hands and friendly eyes.
He’s become savage just like the rest of the men who bend the knee to him.
He’s now the monster I fear.
When he tells the Bratva he’s marrying me to bring peace, I’m too terrified to argue.
Because saying no to the pakhan is never an option.

✨TEASER: XOXO by @authormandymuse releasing August 31st!

Why you will love this book…
๐ฉทWhy Choose
๐งณMMFM
๐ฉทRunaway Bride
๐งณTravel Romance
๐ฉทBi-Awakening
๐งณSerendipitous
I never imagined being a runaway bride, but here I am, putting on my running shoes, hiking up the white dress, and bolting to Europe with my veil fluttering behind me.
For once, I wasn’t going to be the agreeable, dutiful daughter who had been forced into an arranged marriage. I wasn’t going to keep sacrificing myself for my parents’ approval.
Violeta Vega, party of one, checking into rock bottom.
Running away to Europe had seemed like a good idea. It was supposed to be carefree, but my heartbreak turned the River Thames dull until whispers of an app piqued my interest. Meeting eligible bachelors across Europe wasn’t on my itinerary, but there’s no harm in swiping left and right.
Famous last words.
Ending my rendezvous by sneaking out and leaving nothing behind but a note signed “XOXO” wasn’t the magic I had hoped for. That is, until I meet three best friends who can’t keep their eyes off me—and each other.
Levi is sweet and makes Paris my favorite destination. I can’t help but want to soothe Ruwon’s deep-seated wounds as we sail on their yacht off the coast of Greece. And Matteo? As much as he can’t stand me, we can’t deny our chemistry in the French Alps. Falling for one man while healing a broken heart seems like a bad idea. Falling for three? It’s either stupidity or serendipity.
When the past I left at the altar comes back to tear us apart, I cross my heart and hope that I make the right choice.

Why you will love this book…
๐ Paranormal romance
๐ฎ Magic/Witchcraft/Witches
๐ Monster hunters
๐ฎ Found family
๐ Ghosts/demons/dragons
๐ฎ Hurt her and die
๐ Monsters with a moral compass
๐ฎ Open door/high spice
From Cassie Graham, comes an all-new retelling of her original novel, Enchanting Wilder.
Love, But Wilder is re-imagined and re-edited with 50,000+ added words!
A witch, McKenna Sawyer, doesn’t know what happened to her seemingly (para)normal life. After her parents go missing, the only path forward is to continue running her family’s flower and metaphysical shop, Petals and Potions. And at night, she warns mortals of their impending deaths via dream-jumping. She thought her existence would start and end in Summerson, Massachusetts with her corgi Familiar, Pepperoni, but as months pass without her parents, she starts to feel as if her life is meant for more. Foreign emotions claw at her skin, begging her to do something different—be someone different.
Just as she begins to lose hope, McKenna is assigned Declan Wilder, a self-assured and complicated monster hunter. When they meet face-to-face, they realize their paths are more entangled than they realized and that the red-eyed demon they witnessed in Declan’s dream isn’t a harbinger of death, but a key to unlocking the secrets to McKenna’s parents’ disappearance.
A journey of self-discovery and passion, McKenna and Declan, along with their siblings, begin to uncover deep rooted mysteries that have been put in place by the people they love most. Together, they must face who they truly are, and amid all the chaos, stay true to their hearts.
It’s a love story, yeah, but it’s a lot wilder.

An Inspiring Journey into our Better Natures
Date Published: 10-01-2025
Publisher: Greenleaf Book Group Press
Ten-year-old Luz sets out on an overnight camping trip, accompanied by her spiritual mentor. Peering through a canopy of California redwoods, Luz witnesses a council of animals confronting the menace of climate change. Led by a lustrous—and talkative—American Crow named Koro, the animals weigh their options. Some, like Koro, want to collaborate with humans. Others doubt humanity’s good intentions. The conversation compels young Luz, innately in tune with the natural world, to fight passionately in its defense.
At once a work of fact-based activism and a moving coming-of-age, Crows Calling immerses the reader in a richly-drawn family and community who, despite their differences, decide to dedicate their lives to the care of Grandmother Earth. They are not alone. Rather, they are accompanied by a colorful cast of savvy planimals—bears, coyotes, trees, and even chickens—with long memories and ancient ways of healing. However, some damage cannot be undone. Natural disasters, public apathy, and greed threaten everything that Luz and her friends are working for. Can the cross-species alliance find unity and resolve the climate crisis?
Excerpt
Before we go any further, I really should introduce myself. I am Koro—a lustrous female American Crow. Surely, when strolling in woods or along an urban lane, you have admired my family’s elegant, iridescent plumage and thrilled to our melodious song. You know of our prodigious memory, of our cleverness spearing hapless grubs from sodden logs with a favored twig.
The glint you see in my ebony eye is a tear shining for my grandmother—the earthly incarnation of generosity, whose bounteous lands and waters make room for every new arrival. Of late, however, one family—relative newcomers—has been pushing her limits, leaving their garbage everywhere and abusing the other guests. They run their noisy engines at all hours. Noxious smoke belches from their cooking fires. Every day, more and more of them come, crowding into other families’ spaces, destroying the homes of many of my friends.
Recognizing our Crow persistence, Grandmother Earth called us to help her get those inconsiderate tenants to clean up their act. Peering into the chasm of the coming Meltdown, I am proud to be on precious Grandmother’s team. My cawcus is responsible for majestic Northern California. The land we cover is a patchwork sprawl of asphalt and forest, garlic and strawberries, oranges and avocados, cattle and sheep raised sustainably and otherwise, bears guttering in their occult tongue, sweet jasmine brandishing her shameless perfume, and sixteen million busy humans.
Through wildfires, drought, floods, extreme heat, even earthquakes, Grandmother is pleading directly with humans. Some hear her message. Take Makah Andrews, professor of International Environmental Policy at Monterey University. Makah’s one of the good ones, trying to use the system to turn itself around. That’s the aim of “Team Grandmother”—a successful turnaround.
What’s that I hear? Ah, please allow me to introduce my most trusted teammate, Ursula, a beautiful California Black Bear who lives around here. Ursula, tell the folks what we’ve been hearing from other nonhuman parts of the natural world, from other planimals, as we call ourselves. Our fellow creatures are getting nervous. Some are angry. That’s why we’re organizing a Congress. …
A leading player on global peace and security issues at the intersection of governments, business and civil society for over thirty years, McConnell is the former President and CEO of the EastWest Institute. He serves on the board of The Stimson Center, in support of peace, security, justice, and prosperity for all living beings.
From 2009 to 2013, McConnell served in the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, where he was Deputy Under Secretary for Cybersecurity. He was a member of the Obama-Biden Presidential Transition Team. From 2000-2008, he created, built and sold two consultancies that provided strategic advice to clients in the technology, business and government sectors. In 1999-2000, McConnell led the International Y2K Cooperation Center, which was sponsored by the United Nations and the World Bank.
McConnell holds a Master of Public Administration from the Evans School for Public Policy at the University of Washington and a Bachelor of Sciences from Stanford University. He serves as a business advisor to various technology companies.
