DarkSider News: February 2023!


 

2023 is now in full swing. So is the good news from the DarkSiders.

First of all though, I'd like to apologise as I'd mistakenly put that Witch Bond by LJ Swallow was released in the last issue. It hasn't been and the pre-order has been removed. The details of release will be shared once to hand. 







NEW RELEASES


Nero
Mel Teshco
Book 1, Alien Fugitives
Released: 31 January


She’s afraid to love again. He’s afraid to lose again.

Jack Ashton appears from out of nowhere, saving Brynn like a knight in shining armor from her terrifying ex. Though her heady attraction to Jack opens up her heart again, she discovers her knight comes with scales and a fin. She should be terrified, but there is something about him that draws her in and makes her feel safe.

Jack hid his identity so well from the dronians—an alien enemy intent on hunting him and the last of his species down—he managed to brainwash himself in the process, forgetting his name and the real him while living and working on Earth. But when his memories come flooding back and he becomes protector of a human woman, he realizes life on Earth isn’t going to be any easier than what it had been on his own world, especially with a vulnerable human in his care.

Lying low and not drawing attention was his one and only goal. But when he falls for Brynn and dronians threaten her life, he knows he can’t lose another loved one again. He’ll do whatever he must to keep her alive and safe, even if he has to draw on every one of his unstable alien powers to do so.

What does the winner plan to do with his prize?

Perhaps a commoner is just what she needs?

He might have been a killer in the past, but nurturing plants soothes his black soul. A pity his life gets complicated the moment the princess begins to take a personal interest.
