MM Rockstar x K-pop idol romance 💫

When Grammy-winning rockstar Raphael meets K-pop sensation Lee Jaehyun, their brief encounter two years ago should have stayed in the past. But Raphael can’t stop thinking about him—even though he’s engaged to an actress and supposedly straight. One taste to scratch the itch, he tells himself. Just once to get Jaehyun out of his system.

Except once isn’t nearly enough, and now Raphael’s about to blow up his entire carefully constructed life.

Jaehyun knows better than to fall for the charming American with the devastating smile. Raphael will tire of this eventually and return to his beautiful girlfriend, leaving Jaehyun alone again. He’s built armor around his heart—his art, his body, his K-pop persona. No soft American boy could possibly break through.

But what starts as a forbidden attraction becomes something neither of them expected, and the chemistry between them threatens to consume everything in its path.

Scarlett Drake delivers an electrifying opposites-attract romance exploring bisexual awakening, the collision of Western rock and K-pop cultures, and two men who risk everything for a love they never saw coming. Drake’s journey to publishing success is as captivating as her novels—she built a devoted following by self-publishing on Wattpad, where her stories garnered millions of reads and passionate fans who couldn’t get enough of her emotionally charged romances. Her authentic voice and fearless approach to LGBTQ+ themes caught the attention of traditional publishing, and she’s now represented by Simon & Schuster while still maintaining her day job at a social housing charity in Glasgow, Scotland (where she lives with her boyfriend and her cat). Drake’s ability to balance a corporate career with writing bestselling novels showcases her remarkable dedication to storytelling and her readers. Her Wattpad-to-traditional-publishing trajectory proves that compelling stories find their audience, and her continued connection to her day-to-day work keeps her writing grounded in real-world experiences. Hamartia features mature themes including explicit content and substance use.

Gothic Romantasy

One minute she’s hunting vampires and saving puppies. The next, three devastatingly attractive Fae princes abduct her and claim she’s the true heir to the throne of Faerieland (they hate when she calls it that).

The problem? She has amnesia. Her memories only go back five years, so she doesn’t remember these cocky princes with their smoldering eyes and infuriatingly good looks. But they definitely remember her—and they’re hiding something.

Someone stole her crown, erased her memories, and shoved her through a portal to the human world. Now these powerful Fae males are stuck by her side as she investigates who betrayed her and why. The chemistry between them is explosive, but nobody’s happy about their forced proximity.

She may not be particularly innocent (the beautiful part really depends on the lighting, and some say “brave,” others say “stupid”), but she’s the toughest Hunter in Washington, D.C. And she’s about to remind the Fae world exactly who they’re dealing with.

May Dawson delivers a snarky, sexy romantasy packed with amnesia, multiple love interests, political intrigue, and a heroine who refuses to take herself—or three arrogant princes—too seriously.

What makes this special: Sharp humor, gothic atmosphere, and a reverse harem dynamic that sizzles with tension.

Neuropsychology

We’re all infected with a spiritual disease called shame. Whether we realize it or not, it affects every aspect of our lives—personal relationships, vocational endeavors, and our identity in Christ.

Psychiatrist Curt Thompson unpacks the soul of shame, revealing its ubiquitous nature and neurobiological roots. Drawing on years of research and clinical practice, he provides theological and practical tools to dismantle shame’s hold on our lives.

Thompson’s expertise and compassion will help you identify your own struggles, find freedom from lifelong negative messages, embrace healing and wholeness, and discover shame’s hidden agenda in your life.
