Release Day: Heart of Fire
We are excited to announce the release of Heart of Fire by JM Paquette, the second book in the Rock Star Fairytales series!
One stage manager. Two supernatural soulmates. And a secret that could set the world on fire.
Margot Tanner’s life used to be all backstage passes and broken guitar strings. Now it’s dragons, vampires, assassins—and an engagement to a fae lord who isn’t what he seems. Between back-to-back shows on the elusive Denham Island, her newly forged Claim with Ash, and her impending engagement with the fae Lord Rebinus, Margot is stretched to her limits. When riots erupt, enemies close in, and long-buried truths come to light, Margot realizes she’s at the heart of a dangerous game… and both men are playing for keeps.
Ash has always kept his distance—but now that Margot is his, he’ll do anything to protect her, even if it means embracing the darker instincts he’s spent a lifetime controlling. His engagement to a dragon princess? Just another fire to put out.
Tobin Fetch knows exactly what he wants. And as his connection to Margot deepens, he’s forced to reckon with old magic, ancient bonds, and a truth he can’t hide much longer—especially when it comes to Lord Rebinus.
In a world of rock stars, fae royalty, witches, and beasts of legend, love is power… and Margot might be the key to it all. Heart of Fire is the spellbinding second book in the Rock Star Fairy Tales series—perfect for fans of forbidden magic, hidden identities, and supernatural romance with a bite.

Release Day: More Lakeside Love
We are excited to announce the release of More Lakeside Love by Mimi Francis, a collection containing books 4-6 of the Loves of Lakeside series!
Lakeside, Montana is a small town but that doesn’t mean its residents are content with a little love.
This collection contains three more stories of romance. In “Can’t Fight the Feelings,” Mason Adler must finally deal with his long-burning crush on his best friend’s sister when they find themselves in close quarters. Close proximity does little to fan the flames between Nate Garin and his neighbor Faith Levine in “Right Kind of Wrong,” but maybe opposites really do attract. Finally, in “Running Wild,” Teddie Calloway must save her birthright while contending with her feelings for her most trusted farmhand.
Romance, meddling townsfolk, and secret liaisons await in the latest collection from author Mimi Francis.

A struggling songwriter returns to her childhood summer camp and comes face-to-face with the imaginary boy from her past—and a second chance she never believed was real.
Marina is used to being overlooked. She works at her manipulative aunt’s boutique, writing songs on a broken keyboard and spending her free time with her grandmother. Her last close friend was a boy from summer camp years ago, but he was imaginary, so he doesn’t count. When Marina lands an audition that could change everything, her Grams pushes her to find inspiration where it all started. Armed with an old camp notebook, Marina returns to the now-abandoned campground, hoping to write one good song. Instead, she meets a handsome stranger.
Gil has never forgotten the girl who made his summers full of sunlight. He remembers the snacks she shared with him, the songs she wrote, and the promise he made to always come back for her. But he wasn’t prepared for the wave of emotions he felt when she came back. Eager to keep his second chance from slipping away, Gil spends the weekend with Marina, hoping she’ll realize he’s the boy she imagined all those years ago.
Together, they return to a time where the summer is magic and the days are never ending. Marina can’t help but wonder if Gil is real, then maybe happy endings are too.
