In a world where anything is possible, sometimes the worst comes at the hands that should care for you the best.
When Amaryllis Coultihan fled Haven House after Travis Haven threatens to make her one of his many brides, it straight into the arms of Gloriana, the woman who had married her brother, Andrew. Although her brother and sister-in-law insist she’s safe, Ammy would rather die than allow herself to be swallowed by the evil of Haven House.
Damien Whitmore is a ranger, working undercover to bring down the religious cults, like Haven House and save the women trapped in them from a life of degradation. He’s there when Amaryllis Coultihan escapes. While she may no longer be in Haven House, the malevolence that lurks within follows them, threatening her and the 5 children she fosters—also escapees of the Haven cult.

Take a crime-filled tour of the paranormal with this collection of all-new stories of familiars, felonies, and flimsy alibies in this limited-edition cozy mystery anthology.
From hexed rats to talking cats to mated ravens and magical havens, All too Familiar is brimming with mystery and mayhem. Each story is set in the author's own world, offering readers the opportunity to explore new neighborhoods, meet likely suspects, and solve page-turning mysteries.
In Jane Hinchey's exclusive story, "Fur the Hex of It," undercover SIA operative and witch Holly Day is hiding out in Gravestone, Texas. She hasn't even unpacked before her rat familiar unearths a human bone in her backyard.
In Patti Larsen's newest addition to the Whitewitch Island Paranormal Cozies, "Wake the Dead," retired Guild Artemis Inquisitor Georgia Drake, with the help from her Hades mastiff, Benjamin, is asked to investigate the death of a wealthy patriarch.
And in Paula Lester's first in a new series, "Impurrfect Magic," Ivy Patterson has returned to her sleepy hometown, and things are going great. That is, until a dead body, a know-it-all kitten, and a black magic side hustle fall squarely into her lap.
With additional stories from Polly Holmes, Christine Bernard, Kelly Ethan, Maggie Mundy, Susanne Becker, and Belinda White, All too Familiar is teeming with bubbling cauldrons, furry—and not so furry—familiars, and cases waiting to be cracked.

Then a woman moves into the vacant house next door to his and he’s inexplicably drawn to her. Marina is light and laughter to his darkness and despair. She is also a gifted music teacher who takes Josie under her wing. When it turns out Josie is a music prodigy with the violin, James can’t thank Marina enough.

The Dominion always threatened our future.
Now they’ve changed our lives.
Gabriella took Andrei, Jamie, and Ash, and I'm terrified she’ll kill them. Instead, Gabriella has plans for those I love.
Andrei spent years escaping his mother’s influence, and now she’s prepared to do anything to make him her pawn.
Jamie is a witch trapped on an estate owned by Dominion vampires who crave his blood—and he's attracted attention.
And if Ash escapes, he faces something as big a threat to his future as Gabriella.
As my three lovers return to me one by one, it’s clear they’ve changed—and the guy who remained with me has altered too.
My battle with Gabriella is now personal.
A surprise ally shares our determination to take down Gabriella and the Dominion, and he could be the answer. But what is our new friend's real agenda?
Now Gabriella possesses a new power, she's a deadlier enemy. We may not be able to kill her yet, but if I can bring justice to those involved in hurting the guys I love, we’ll strike at the heart of Gabriella's plans.
Because until we take down the Dominion, our lives will never be safe. And as long as this Winterfall witch lives, surrounded by her men, those who threaten us risk their lives too.
Midnight Coven
LJ Swallow
Book 3, The Immortal Keepers
Expected Release: 6 July
The Winterfalls. The aristocratic family who believe they're witch royalty.
The Blackwoods. The corrupt witches who want to take their crown.
I've finally broken the Winterfall family shackles and stepped into witch society. I missed out on a Nightworld Academy education, but I have a place at the prestigious Nightfall University. Here, gifted witches from the elite families study to take their magic to the next level and become our new leaders.
I expected to rub shoulders with the brightest and best; I didn't expect my new friends would draw me into a secret society.
The Midnight Coven. Dark, seductive, and dangerous.
I've met the intense and captivating witch Alexei once before. He hasn't forgotten my actions that night, and I haven't accepted who he is. A Winterfall would never touch a Blackwood, however tempting, and Alexei doesn't like rejection. Now I'm forced to live in a house on campus with the arrogant jerk.
Fortunately, my other housemates are friendlier. Nate and Xavi are powerful bonded witches who offer to teach me everything they know—and not just their magic. Tomas is also new to campus; he's easy-going and friendly, but there's something secretive about the elemental witch. The three smoking hot guys show me how to enjoy my new freedom and invite me to join their secret society. The one led by Alexei Blackwood.
What lives behind the mirrors never frightened me, but on the night I'm initiated into the coven, my magic attracts something that threatens all of us.
I'm shocked to discover the Midnight Coven is more than a circle of hedonistic witches. How long can I resist the dark Blackwood magic before I'm drawn into shadows and we unleash something deadly?
Midnight Coven is the first in a university-age paranormal academy duet filled with seductive magic, steamy scenes, multiple love interests and dark academia elements.

Sheikh Jamal is grateful that his routine business trip to discuss trade with his neighboring country’s leader, Sheikh Zameer, is almost over. A quick overnight stay and he’ll be on his way. But on finding a blonde bombshell asleep in his bed all tiredness fades away. Zameer clearly knows Jamal’s taste in women.
When it turns out Yasmine is Sheikh Zameer’s virginal daughter—not one of his many harem women—Jamal is gutted. He’s been setup! Yasmine is forbidden fruit and he took a bite.
There is only one way now to repair the damage. He has to marry the girl. But it doesn’t mean he has to like her. A pity fate always finds a way to have the last laugh.

Not when there are scores of women willing to enact his every sexual urge. But although Jazmina has no pedigree, she is his every fantasy come to life. He won’t give her up. Not for anything or anyone. Not even for the wishes of his people who would see him wedded to the Sheikha of Lomada to strengthen their nations alliance. In the end though, will he have a choice?

Lucy McLaren went back to her family name after she and her long-term partner split. The McLaren family history and their cottage in Somerset in England drew her inexorably to the past and gave it an importance that she was unable—or perhaps, unwilling— to explain. As her daughter Beth grew older and began to question the past, and Lucy's relationship floundered, she knew the only way to save her sanity, and justify her actions to her daughter, was to go back and seek out the man she had fallen in love with many years ago. Could she tell her daughter that her whole life had been a lie? And will the love of her life still be there when Lucy returns to the nineteenth century?
