About this series

This series includes a New York Times Bestseller, an Amazon Editors’ Pick, a Goodreads Choice Award Nominee, and a Best of BookTok.

The Hurricane Wars is a romantasy set in a Southeast Asian-inspired fantasy world torn by war between nations wielding light and shadow magic. Talasyn, an orphan soldier who secretly possesses light magic believed extinct, finds herself locked in combat with Prince Alaric, the Night Emperor’s weapon who commands shadow magic. When their opposing powers unexpectedly merge to create a new force, a forbidden attraction ignites between sworn enemies. As the Hurricane Wars rage on, they must navigate political machinations, family loyalties, and an emerging cataclysmic threat called the Moonless Dark that could devour everything.

This steamy enemies-to-lovers romantasy explores themes of duty versus desire, trust, and whether love can bridge seemingly impossible divides. The narrative blends magical battles, political intrigue, and intense romantic tension as Talasyn and Alaric’s relationship evolves from battlefield adversaries to reluctant allies facing world-ending stakes. With Southeast Asian cultural influences woven throughout, the story appeals to readers who enjoy enemies-to-lovers dynamics, magical systems involving light and shadow, and high-stakes fantasy where passion and power collide.

The Hurricane Wars (3 book series) by Thea Guanzon- The first two books in the series are on sale for $2.99 each. The third book in the series releases 10/6/26.

Gothic sapphic romance meets supernatural suspense on a remote island in the Pacific Northwest, as a night of forbidden passion opens a Pandora’s box of dangerous secrets and dark magic in this sinfully spicy, standalone novel by New York Times bestselling TikTok sensation, Harley Laroux.

SALEM
I wasn’t supposed to be here.

I was supposed to be marrying my fiancé, looking forward to a tropical honeymoon. Instead, I found myself on a ferry headed for historic Balfour Manor on Blackridge Island, in the Pacific Northwest. Now I’m stranded, with a woman I’m irresistibly drawn to.

Rayne holds secrets as dark and mysterious as her old house. Crimson shadows stalk the halls and strange voices call out in the night—but it’s she who haunts me most.

Following a gruesome murder, the island’s true nature is revealed, and every night becomes a fight for survival. Something is stalking the forest, killing indiscriminately . . .

And this time, we’re its prey.


RAYNE
Death has followed me since childhood. My mother’s murder and father’s violent death changed me, teaching me just how cruel the world could be.

I never got what I wanted, until Salem showed up at my door. She’s adventurous, beautiful, and doomed if she stays here. Now, I suddenly have something to lose: the woman who broke down my walls and saw through my mask, who showed me I’m worth loving.

My family has long been buried, but even the vilest of secrets must be dug up again to survive the evil that hunts us. I finally have something to fight for, and I’ll do whatever it takes to save her.

House of Rayne by Harley Laroux – $1.99 for a limited time.

Opposites attract in this sexy Scottish romance between a young woman and the man who is completely off-limits, from the author of Whisky Business.

The Macabe Brother Rule Book (according to Juniper Ross):

  1. Don’t look at a Macabe brother
  2. Don’t talk to a Macabe brother
  3. Don’t even think about a Macabe brother

It’s pretty tough for June to follow her own rules, considering one brother is in love with her best friend, one is her ex-fiancé, and one … well, one is super-hot, small-town hero Callum Macabe.

But when Callum seems to be popping up everywhere, especially when Juniper is at her most vulnerable, it’s hard not to imagine just how good breaking a rule might feel.

Scotch on the Rocks: A Spicy Forbidden Romance – Opposites Attract Romantic Comedy in Scotland by Elliot Fletcher – $2.99 for a limited time.

Amazon

A BRAND NEW wildly hot, opposites-attract cowboy romance from USA Today Bestseller Amy Andrews 💖

Perfect for fans of Elsie Silver, Jessica Peterson, Lyla Sage and Roxanne Tully 💛

A gruff bronco-riding cowboy. A country star in over her head. One month on a Wyoming ranch…and sparks neither of them planned. 💕

Tropes:

✨ Cowboy meets city girl

✨ Opposites attract

✨ Grumpy sunshine

✨ Teacher / student

✨ Fish out of water

✨ Spicy slow burn

Clay Calhoun used to be the hottest bad boy on the professional rodeo circuit but a career-ending injury has dragged him back to Wyoming and the family dude ranch he escaped a decade ago. The washed-up bronc rider doesn’t want to babysit tourists pretending to be cowboys while he’s licking his wounds and dodging regrets. Then a record label drops a city girl straight into his pasture.

Reluctantly famous country music sensation Stephanie “Stevie” Everhart needs authentic cowgirl cred to go with her shiny golden Grammy, so her label sends her and her helicopter mother to Wyoming for a month to get some mud on her boots. Unfortunately for Clay he’s given the job of teaching her how to ride a horse.

Clay doesn’t do babysitting. Stevie doesn’t do bad boys. But beneath those big, reckless skies, good girl Stevie discovers a streak of wild she’s never dared unleash and Clay finds grit and warmth that slip past his defences. What starts as image control ignites into sparks neither planned.

Wild and Wanted: A BRAND NEW opposites attract cowboy romance from USA Today Bestseller Amy Andrews for 2026 (Redemption Valley Ranch Book 1) by Amy Andrews – $.99 for a limited time.

“Not since A Dog’s Purpose have I been so besotted by a novel’s canine. Just like a good dog, Harold and this beautiful book will break your heart open and mend it all at once.”—Colleen Oakley, USA Today bestselling author of Jane & Dan at the End of the World

In this delightfully heartwarming novel, an elderly dog named Harold is determined to help his grieving owner, Miguel, find a reason to go on after loss. Now if only Miguel would stop getting in Harold’s way by being so very . . . human.

Harold may be an aging mutt—but Amelia May, the romance novelist who adopted him, taught him a thing or two about the human heart before she died. And she left Harold with a final task: to help her partner, Miguel, find love again.

Trouble is, the grief-ridden recluse rarely goes out, not even to the bookstore he and Amelia owned together. Now it’s in danger of going under, and when a renowned author doesn’t show up for his event, it pushes the store’s already precarious finances into the red. In a final attempt to save the bookstore, Miguel and Harold set out to find the no-show and insist he fulfill his obligation. But instead they’re greeted by Fiona, his sunny yet secretive sister.

Fiona is intent on protecting her brother’s privacy—and to Harold’s horror, she doesn’t like dogs. But her precocious eleven-year-old daughter, who’s also named Amelia, immediately befriends Harold . . . and he can’t help but wonder if his Amelia was right when she said there are no coincidences in life.

Harold is quickly running out of time to accomplish his mission, but if he can just convince his infuriatingly stubborn person to let Fiona in, he’s certain Miguel will find something far more important than a missing author: his own happy ending.

Uplifting, smartly observed, and hilariously insightful, Dog Person is as undeniably charming as its beloved narrator, Harold, and offers a much-needed reminder that while not all love is unconditional, it is still always worthwhile.

Dog Person: A Love Story by Camille Pagán – $1.99 for a limited time.
