Potions, portals, and one very annoying demon—Violet’s life is about to go straight to hell. Want longer hair, whiter teeth, or a smaller nose? **Violet can whip up a potion faster than you can say “enchanted facelift.”** Need to hex your ex or curse your boss? Well, it will cost you extra, and she’ll need to see your credit card first. Violet’s business model is simple: charge tourists for fake magic while keeping her real abilities hidden. It’s been working perfectly. Until it isn’t. 🧪
By day, Violet is a charlatan running a tourist-trap potion shop in New Orleans. By night, she’s the real deal—**a rare Potion Master whose store sits smack on the portal between Earth and Hell,** serving magical creatures who should absolutely not be allowed in public. Werewolves with anger management issues, vampires with dietary restrictions, and fae with boundary problems all show up at her door after hours. She’s also the official protector of both realms, which is unfortunate because **she is objectively terrible at her job.** 😈
When the last Potion Master dies a gruesome death and a handsome, obnoxiously hot demon drags Violet out of anonymity, her powers spike, her shop transforms, and her life immediately goes to hell—literally. Now supernatural beings either want to date her or kill her, and Violet’s not sure which fate is worse. Between managing a portal to Hell, dealing with a demon who won’t take “get lost” for an answer, protecting two realms despite being terrible at it, and running a potion shop that’s suddenly way more popular with creatures that can actually pay, Violet discovers that being the chosen one is far more complicated than the tourist brochures suggested. 🔥
What makes this hilarious: Charlatan running tourist-trap potion shop who’s actually rare Potion Master, store sitting on portal between Earth and Hell, official protector of both realms but objectively terrible at job, last Potion Master dying gruesome death, handsome obnoxiously hot demon dragging her out of anonymity, and supernatural beings either wanting to date or kill her.
Hazel didn’t think there was anything a homemade apple pie couldn’t fix—until **her husband divorced her and left her broke.** Trying her best to raise her ten-year-old daughter and make ends meet with nothing but pie-baking skills and determination, Hazel is desperate for a fresh start that doesn’t involve explaining to her daughter why Daddy doesn’t love them anymore. When she inherits a fixer-upper in the small town of Maple Bay, it seems like the answer to her prayers. 🥧
When she inherits a fixer-upper in the small town of Maple Bay from a biological mother she never knew, Hazel and her daughter head to the country for the reading of the will. But **a clause in the will says Hazel and her sister—the sister she didn’t know existed—must live together on the rural property for one summer, or forfeit their inheritance.** If Hazel can tough it out in the country for a few months with a surprise sibling, she stands to gain a historic carriage house. It needs renovation, but Hazel thinks she can fix it up, sell it as a bed-and-breakfast, and use the profits to begin her life anew, back in the city. 🏡
She isn’t planning to stay in Maple Bay, or to fall in love with her sister’s best friend, Jesse—**a single dad and handsome cowboy who is recovering from heartbreak of his own.** Between learning about the mother she never knew, bonding with a sister she didn’t know existed, renovating a historic property, and trying not to fall for a cowboy who makes her heart race every time he helps with repairs, Hazel discovers that sometimes fresh starts come with complications. And sometimes those complications are exactly what you need. 🤠

A new world for Earth’s last survivors. But something deadly waits for darkness to fall. Ember Steele only wanted to live a full life. That’s why she went into stasis—to wait for a cure for her terminal disease. Now she and five other people awaken in a spacecraft far from Earth. **Hundreds of years have passed. Everyone Ember knew is long dead. And what’s worse—far, far worse—humanity is all but extinct.** The life she was trying to save now has no world to return to. 🚀
Ember and the others aren’t astronauts, scientists, or soldiers—they’re just people with a terminal condition that makes them the only ones who can survive in a faster-than-light needle ship. Yet they’ve been selected for a monumentally important mission: select a suitable terraformed planet for human civilization to start over. **The clock is ticking. With limited air and no food or water,** this ragtag team must act fast or fail. They land on Tenoth, a seemingly hospitable world with breathable air and gorgeous landscapes, but soon find themselves in a nightmare of deception and danger. 🌌
Worst of all are the eclipses, when Tenoth’s moons obstruct its sun. **For when the darkness comes, so comes death.** Whatever hunts on this planet only emerges during the eclipse periods, and it’s efficient, relentless, and hungry. Between rationing nonexistent supplies, discovering Tenoth’s deadly secret, dealing with team members who aren’t who they claim to be, and surviving the eclipses that bring unseen terrors, Ember must decide: is this world humanity’s salvation or its final grave? The last survivors of Earth didn’t come this far to die in the dark. 🌑
What makes this terrifying: Woman awakening from stasis to find hundreds of years passed and humanity all but extinct, terminal patients selected for mission to find new planet, ragtag team with limited air and no food or water, landing on seemingly hospitable Tenoth with deadly secret, eclipses bringing death when darkness comes, and something hunting them during eclipse periods.

He broke my heart. I returned the favor. I thought my husband loved me—until I walked in on his Director of Finance riding him like a cowgirl in his corner office with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking Manhattan. That image is seared into my brain forever, along with the casual way he looked up and asked me to close the door on my way out. 💔
Adrian and I never made sense on paper. When we met, I was working for minimum wage with no family, no degree, and no prospects. He was a billionaire Maddox brother, twelve years older than me and a titan of Wall Street who could buy and sell companies before breakfast. I thought it had to be love—why else would a man like him be with someone like me? Turns out, our marriage has always been a transaction. An easy life for me, a perfect wife for him. And if I want to keep my lifestyle and my two beautiful babies, I need to fall in line and pretend I didn’t see what I saw. 💰
There are just two small problems. I’m not the perfect woman he thinks I am—I’ve got my own secrets, my own strength, and my own plans for revenge. And I was right: my husband does love me. He just doesn’t realize it until he burns his own world
She’s supposed to find him the perfect match. Falling for him herself was not part of the deal. Mallory has zero magic—no spells, no shape-shifting, and no flashy Preternatural strength. In the magical city of Coldstream where everyone else wields power, she’s what they call a “squib,” someone born without abilities in a world defined by them. But Mallory has made knowledge her power, turning secrets and favors into currency. She knows everyone’s business, and that makes her invaluable. 🔮
Enter Alexander MacTire: alpha werewolf, wealthy businessman, and walking temptation wrapped in a tailored suit. He wants Mallory to find him a mate using her unparalleled network and knowledge of Coldstream’s magical elite. She wants absolutely nothing to do with him or his impossible request. The last thing she needs is to get tangled up with an alpha werewolf whose presence alone makes her heart race in ways that have nothing to do with fear. 🐺
But MacTire isn’t used to hearing no—and Mallory’s not immune to his charm, no matter how hard she tries to resist. What starts as a reluctant business arrangement soon turns into something dangerously personal. Because the more she gets to know him while searching for his perfect mate, the less she wants to help him find love with anyone but her. In a city where magic defines worth, can a powerless woman win the heart of the most powerful werewolf in Coldstream? 💕
What makes this captivating: Powerless “squib” in magical Coldstream city turning secrets into currency, alpha werewolf businessman wanting her to find him perfect mate, walking temptation she wants nothing to do with, not immune to his charm despite trying, and falling for him while supposed to match him with someone else.
