Expected Release: 16 August
Welcome to CovenFest!
Witches and warlocks, sorcerers and spellcasters, come for mayhem and magic surrounded by Enchantment Mountains. Monsters, too, are invited.
As the world's royalty of witchcraft and wizardry descend on Leavenworth in rural Washington State for their week-long annual conference, magic and romance ensues while the beer flows at Octoberfest.
The everyday folk have no idea witches and warlocks, sorcerers and spellcasters, and monsters and mages walk among them.
Heroes and heroines talk to the dead, howl at the moon, dance under the stars and summon the powers that lurk in the shadows at the Monster Mash Ball on Halloween.
Romance is definitely not on the conference program, but hexing your ex is, for a price. While secret crushes and enemies alike will be tormented and cursed, the witches and warlocks, monsters and magic users just might save the world. And find true love.
Sink your fangs into eleven wickedly swoony and deliciously spooky tales of witchy romance. Enjoy fairytales with a steamy twist where happily ever afters are guaranteed and will make you laugh and gasp.
Contributing authors are Sabrina Duval, Louisa West, Fiona M Marsden, HM Hodgson, Clarissa Morgan, Zelda Hartland, Sharyn Swanepoel, Emily Hussey, Melanie Pickering, Angelica Grymm and Savannah Blaize.

Book 7, Outcast Pack
TJ Nichols
Expected Release: 1 July
Mitchell Wright expected to die when he was captured by hunters. When they chained him and left him in the bush, he hoped to die fast. Instead, his fated mate shows up and saves him. Now, he has to deal with his injuries for the rest of his life, and he’s a familiar to a witch he doesn’t even know.
Coven Agent Penrith Flint thought he was saving the wolf shifter’s life, not finding himself a familiar. Because of how it happened—the wolf didn’t consent to become his familiar—he’s desk-bound with his job on the line while praying to the Fates to let the bond fade.
After four months, it hasn’t.
When Mitchell turns up just before Christmas to see him, Penrith must decide if he’s willing to let the wolf into his life and risk his heart one more time. While neither man wants a fated mate, it is the gift they both need.
One wounded wolf shifter and a slightly bitter blood witch come together to discover that while love may not heal wounds, it makes them easier to bear and that finding Mitchell a pack is the family they both need.

After four years of living in Darwin, George Franklin is back in Melbourne, and everything has changed. There is now a pack of gay wolf shifters with their own territory, something that would have been unimaginable when he left. His own family pack is expecting him to move home and run with them…and he definitely doesn’t want to do that. The last thing he wants, though, is to fall for his best friend’s older brother—again.
Pack and family come first. Evan Steele knows that, and because of it, he lived a lie for years. He did things he regrets on the pack leader’s orders. Now, he’s put as much distance as he can between his past and his present. To humans, he is successful and confident.
But he hates shifting. He hates running on four feet.
When his past turns up at his door in the form of an anonymous hook-up, Evan’s lies come unstuck, and he’ll have to choose between putting himself first or obeying the pack who will hate him if they knew the truth.
This is the final book in the mm wolf shifter Outcast Pack series.

Morgana Fiennes, formidable witch and freelance operative, always works alone and never fails her clients. And she’s not about to break that record when the Seattle Police Department offers a lucrative contract to track down a monster-slaying weapon.
The catch? Her nemesis, the irresistibly enigmatic Arcturus Ravenna, a billionaire entwined with the very tech they're hunting, wants nothing to do with her. Time for a little persuasion…
Arcturus Ravenna, secretly descended from the ancient Greek monster Typhon, despises magic, thanks to a witch's curse that scarred him for life. Yet, with vulnerable monsters under attack, he's compelled to act—even collaborating with the captivating, spellbinding, blackmailing Morgana.
But amid the chaos, and as enemies become lovers, how can two alphas put aside their differences and distrust, and stop the real threat before it’s too late for all monsters—including them?

Roisin
Our immortality is no longer under threat, but we still need to heal Earth. Not even my own people think I know enough to help.

But that’s exactly what happened…
Brandon
My entire life has been devoted to guarding the Fae.
To guarding her.
Princess Roisin is beautiful. Smart. She intrigues me like no other, yet she avoids me at every turn.
Until now.
Every minute we’re stranded together in this icy kingdom makes me love her more. Our connection almost seems…magical, though I know I’m not her fated mate.
But none of that will matter if I can’t get her home before this world kills us…
Fae’s Love, book 8 the final book in the Summer Court series, is an emotional, forced proximity, forbidden love, spicy fantasy romance (romantasy) full of adventure, suspense, and portal magic.

Book 5, Alien Fugitives
Mel Teshco
Expected release: 23 March 2025
Can two lost souls complete one another?
Damaris Trant has never been alone…until now. Not only is he stuck on planet Earth, his six Strazanian comrades—rares with special powers just like him—are scattered around the city of New Faxian like confetti to avoid an enemy that has already wiped out the rest of their species. Damaris doesn’t even know if his comrades are still alive since landing on Earth.
Despite his purple scale coloring making him a lower caste, his rare powers, which had elevated his standing on his planet Strazan, are now erratic at best. Add to that the memories of his deceased family, and he’s rendered even more powerless.
Then he meets Callie, and his already topsy-turvy life is turned upside down. She’s an addict who sees things differently. That she doesn’t find Damaris abnormal is beyond appealing to his peace of mind. If only she didn’t also see him as just another man without a conscience.
After Callie Trueberry lost her family to a house fire, she fell into a dysfunctional world of her own making. Chemicals and alcohol might decay her mind, but at least she’s no longer half-mad with grief. Then she stumbles into Damaris and wishes she was the woman she used to be, a woman who would have turned his head and perhaps even won his heart. He is everything she’s ever wanted in a man, their shared grief binding them closer still. But will he stand by her side as she cleans her body and her mind while enemies are hunting him down, or will he be lost to her forever?

Book 3, Gangsters at War
Expected Release: 25 June
One sadistic madman substituted by another.
Chantilly
That’s what happened when I escaped from the don of the O’Malley mafia only to be captured by Valentino Barone, deadly enforcer of the Agostino mobster family. I didn’t think I could hate anyone more than the don who damaged me, until Valentino takes away my freedom yet again and awakens my darkest desires, ones I never knew existed. Escape seems futile. But I did it once I can do it again—or die trying.
Valentino
I was sent to find and kill Chantilly Alcott, fugitive lover of the don of a rival mafia who is desperate to find her. Ending her life and sending pieces of her body to the O’Malley family isn’t something that should bother me—it never has before—so why my reluctance to do my job? I will do it, eventually. For now, I hold her captive and tell myself I’ll break her spirit instead of her body.
So why is she slowly breaking me, instead?
Contracted

Book 4, Gangsters at War
Expected Release: 31 August
He’s a merciless killer who gets what he wants. He can have me…for a price
Delilah
When my widowed stepmother kicked me out on the streets when I was sixteen, I was too proud to ask for help from any of my friends. Hunger left me with no choice but to accept money for sex so that I might survive. Four years later I’m not only surviving, I’m thriving. Asked to attend a private party at the Agostinos, a notorious mafia family who are as ruthless and cruel as they are filthy rich and generous, I can’t say no. Then my gaze meets the cold eyes of Serafino, and I’m lost even before he decides he wants all of me…body, mind and soul.
Serafino
I’m known as a cold-hearted killer without a conscience, the bad boy of the Agostino mafia. That says a lot considering my brothers can be as ruthless as my father had once been, and he’d been a sick and twisted bastard of the highest order. Nonetheless, I have a reputation to uphold. People are afraid of me for good reason. What would they think though if they discovered the call girl who arrived to service the Agostino brothers is the one woman I want all to myself—a woman I would kill to protect—until I’m left with no choice but to kill her myself.
Scorpion
Mel Teshco
Book 1, Sons of the Sheikh
Expected Release: 31 October
His sting is as lethal as his charm.
Sheikh Aziz Hadi might be a player who knows how to charm the panties off women, but that means very little when the one woman he wants—Zamira Fasih—is also the one woman he can’t have. She’s the daughter of a sheikh from a neighboring country bordering his province. That they’re at war means there is no way he can talk to her, let alone date her. Then he sees her at the markets and he can’t deny the impulse to take what—who—he wants.
Zamira Fasih is not interested in Aziz, at least that’s what she tells herself. He and his family sided with an enemy of her father’s and now her people are paying the ultimate price. The Hadi family are scum, and Aziz is the worst of them. He’s not worthy of her attention, if only she’d stop damn well thinking about him! Then he kidnaps her and expects her to like him—but he’d better think again!
She is promised to another man who will help end the war and the death of her people, and nothing will change her mind. Not even the famous charm Aziz is renowned for.
The above three covers are by Eleni Konstantine's alter ego, HelzKat Designs.
