🥀 The Widdershin Widow (by Jamie M. Samland) History does love to repeat itself. Violet Bow accepts a quiet position cataloging the library at Widdershin House, hoping for a fresh start on an island cursed by locals and forgotten by history. But the house is not the solitude she expects. Between the creatures scratching within the walls and the whispers of a long-dead mistress branded as a witch, Violet uncovers warnings buried beneath centuries of fear. As the house begins to breathe and watch, Violet must decide: will she be the dutiful wife the world expects, or something far more dangerous?


🗝️ La Luce’s Legacy (by Dirk Mourningwood) Matteo’s mundane life in Minnesota is upended when he inherits a luxurious Mediterranean island resort from his estranged father. He arrives to find a paradise teeming with secrets, sultry heat, and stunningly attractive men. However, danger lurks beneath the surface of this exotic new world. Drawn into a web of intrigue and passion, Matteo must decide who to trust among enigmatic allies and potential enemies. Will he flee back to safety, or will he stay and claim the destiny—and the men—waiting for him?
