Bound by Ravens (July 14)
All I had to do was steal a ring from a mainland witch for the Thieves’ Guild that owned me. Easy enough, right? The reward would bring me closer to earning my freedom. And stars above, I wanted off this floating luxury island.
But then he showed up, a cocky thief from a rival guild, and ruined all my plans.
This new adult romantasy features a medium burn romance between rival thieves to lovers, along with forced proximity, who did this to you, grumpy/sunshine, he falls first, and fated mates tropes.
Fight for Darkness (July 18)
Technical knockouts are MMA fighter Kane Macleod’s trademark move. His match tonight proved that point again. He has two more fights, then he’ll leave the cage for good. But first, he needs to see that his mother and sister are set for life.

Within Immortal Beasts (July 18)
There’s something wrong with the werewolves. Turning rogue without rhyme or reason, immortal predators are stalking human prey. If the outbreak of violence continues, their hidden society risks exposure to humankind.

Slaying the Shadow Prince (July 20)
Drue Emmerson, noblewoman-turned-ranger, wants one thing: vengeance. With her family slain by the vicious shadow wraiths, she’s determined to defend her fallen kingdom. And that means carving out the hearts of every dark creature she can find.
If you like fiery heroines and tortured heroes, as well as forced proximity, found family and touch-her-and-you-die vibes, you will devour this sexy, addictive fantasy romance.
The Fae's Bride (July 24)
Alessia has more to worry about than the handsome new count everyone is fawning over. Mama's health is declining, the villa needs repairs, and then there are her four sisters who always seem to be either in trouble or causing it.
With his Fae blood, Massimo never expected to inherit the title of count, nor the lands that accompanied it, and he certainly never expected to fall for the town's quirky witch—especially when she clearly wants nothing to do with him.
Within this gaslamp fantasy realm, you’ll find witches, fae, warlocks, house elves, he falls first, forced proximity/star-crossed romance and more.
All That Glitters is Not Gold (July 25)
Fifteen centuries before the catastrophic and world-altering event known as the Sundering, the Realm of the Sun is ruled by the mighty Fae kingdom of Valenhaar, where humans are enslaved and killed for sport.

If you love enemies to lovers, tragic romance, forced proximity, chosen one, and Fae vs human tropes, you'll love this standalone fantasy book.
