In the third installment of AK Caggiano's Villains and Virtues series—perfect for fans of Sydney J. Shields and Kimberly Lemming—a demon lord and the baroness who's wormed her way into his heart try to find time to admit their feelings for each other. If only the world would stop ending long enough for them to do so..

Their destinies are irrevocably entangled, but will their bond finally be the realm's ultimate undoing?

Nothing about Damien Maleficus Bloodthorne's evil destiny has gone according to plan. The reason? A certain noblewoman who has somehow enmeshed herself in his softening heart.

Now back amongst his peers at Yvlcon, the preeminent congregation of the vilest and most unscrupulous villains, Damien's moral growth is threatened-- and just when he was learning to be a little less evil too. Consequently, Lady Ammalie Avington, Daughter to the Baron of Faebarrow, finds her own virtue in peril when faced with so much temptation, namely in the form of a domineering blood mage she can't--or doesn't want--to say no to.

But a burgeoning romance is doused in the coldest of baths when the Grand Order of Dread commands Damien to once again face the swirling vortex of entropy that's been hunting them across the realm. The coming eclipse points to devastation and destruction, and with prophecy being, well, prophecy, annihilation seems impossible to avoid.

But there's an entire fortnight before the world is supposed to end, and surely that's enough time to find some way around it. . . or at the very least to confess one's devotion before it all burns down around them.

The first book in a brand-new series, Hunt the Red Hood, from TikTok sensation B.B. Reid, a dark romantic retelling of Red Riding Hood.

"Guard your heart, foolish girl. The wolves will come to steal it."

In a quiet French town steeped in old folklore, Nyx has always believed in logic--not legends. So discovering she's descended from a line of Red Hood witches feels more like a mistake than destiny. But some stories refuse to stay buried.

The Volkovs have been cursed for generations, and time is running out. The only way to break it? A Red Hood witch must fall in love with one of them. Mikhail Volkov is desperate to save someone he loves--and ending the curse is his last hope. Getting close to Nyx was supposed to be a means to an end... until it becomes something far more dangerous.

Gray, the watchful hunter who seems to linger on the edges of every secret, is thrust into Nyx's life next. Protective, intense, and impossible to ignore, he draws Nyx deeper into a world she doesn't understand--and can't escape.

Caught between wolf and hunter, instinct and reason, Nyx must decide who to trust--and what she's willing to risk.

B.B. Reid is a bestselling author of several romances, including Crucible, the imaginative retelling of Goldilocks. She's most known for her dark and contemporary romances, but began her career writing new adult. B.B. currently resides in Atlanta with Ivan, her moody tuxedo cat. When she's not being a nomad, she enjoys gaming, white chocolate mocha, home decor, and retail therapy.

He's spent years trying to outrun his tortured past. She'll do anything to forget all he was to her. But one reckless plea will change everything for good... Marry me.

Aster Carrington wasn't sure she'd ever return to Starlight Grove--the town that broke her trust and destroyed everything she once believed in. But when her grandfather needed help on the ranch, the therapist known for helping others heal had no choice but to face the ghosts she had buried long ago. What she never expected was the man she once loved to be waiting in the shadows for all these years...and that marrying him might be the only thing to keep her and her beloved ranch safe.

Maverick Archer has built a life in the flames: smokejumper, firefighter, adrenaline junkie--anything to outrun the shadows of his family's violent legacy and the grief of losing the only girl he's ever loved. But when Aster surges back into his life, the fire he's fought to snuff out roars back to flame. Only this time, the danger isn't just in his blood. It's coming for her.

As long-buried secrets surface and a killer's obsession threatens to destroy everything they've rebuilt, Aster and Mav must decide if some scars are reminders of survival or warnings of a past that refuses to stay buried.

New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Catherine Cowles has had her nose in a book since the time she could read and finally decided to write down some of her own stories. When she's not writing she can be found exploring her home state of Oregon, listening to true crime podcasts, or searching for her next book boyfriend.

Laia Grace is the New York City lifestyle influencer… or at least, she's determined to be. After leaving her past behind to pursue her dreams, failure is not an option.

Every day, she films her aesthetic routine ― the perfect light, the perfect latte, the perfect life. Until one morning, her day starts to… glitch. Her neighbors flicker. Her best friend loops. And Laia realizes she's no longer the creator, but the content ― and she's trapped inside of her last "day in the life" video, forever playing on an endless, infinite loop.

That's when a brooding, unshaven, decidedly unfiltered man (literally) crashes into frame. Noah's been stuck in Laia's timeline, too, and he's desperate to get them both out. Together, Laia and Noah fight to outsmart the algorithm that's captured them, uncovering secrets and confronting biases along the way. 

As they grow closer, the line between performance and personhood blurs, and Laia realizes she might have to face the one thing she's been avoiding all this time: herself.

Nadia

I expect nothing.

From life, from God, from men.

I don't hope or want or pray. Those are luxuries I can't afford when I'm doing the desperate math of survival while walking the tight rope of life on the run in a strange city.

New Haven wasn't supposed to be a fresh start. That would be asking too much from a life that took my parents from me and left me vulnerable to monsters. To be used but not loved. To be kept but not cherished.

I'd accepted my fate, settled in it like sore feet in a pair of ill fitted heels, but then he walked into my life and released me from the Pr*son of my past, leaving me free to hope, to want, to love.

Sebastian

I didn't know I was looking for anything until I was looking at her.

And since the moment she came into my view, I haven't been able to look away. There's something sad behind her eyes. Something desperate in the way she moves through the world. Like the devil is on her heels and she doesn't know whether to run or stay and fight.

Other people's problems aren't usually something I have time for, but for her I'll make time. For her, I'll stand and fight. I'll make her battles my battles, her dreams my dreams, and her safety my top priority.

J.L. Seegars is a dedicated smut peddler and lifelong nerd who’s always had a love of words, storytelling and drama.

From USA Today bestselling author Kathryn Moon comes the Tempting Monsters universe: a scorching, emotional, why-choose paranormal romance with a Victorian edge.

On the brink of losing her position as a maid and with no prospects to go on, the offer of a place at Rooksgrave Manor--a house of ill and unusual repute--sounds like a perfect fit for a young woman with Esther's inclinations. Even better, the invitation comes by the hand of the handsome Dr. Underwood, a delicate gentleman with a ferocious alter ego who knows exactly what he wants from Esther.

Upon arrival, the men and the daily decadence of the manor feel too good to be true for a girl of Esther's station. There are rules to be followed, expectations to meet, and Esther is afraid she might be too wicked even for a place like Rooksgrave.

Temptations lurk around every shadowy corner and Esther has never been a girl able to resist. But the risk of disappointing her new gentlemen isn't all that's threatening Esther's new position. Rooksgrave Manor's protections for its unusual patrons are failing, the wards are crumbling, and Esther's new and exquisitely pleasurable life may all come tumbling down.

Kathryn Moon is a country mouse who started dictating stories to her mother at an early age.

The fascination with building new worlds and discovering the lives of the characters who grew in her head never faltered, and she graduated college with a fiction writing degree. She loves writing women who are strong in their vulnerability, romances that are as affectionate as they are challenging, and worlds that a reader sinks into and never wants to leave. When her hands aren't busy typing they're probably knitting sweaters or crimping pie crust in Ohio. She definitely believes in magic.

He's the love of her life...and the one man she can never have.

Amelia Kade is ready to grow up. She's loved the same man since she was young, and it's time to let go of her hopeless childhood crush. Especially because he isn't just any man--he's her father's best friend. Her godfather. Even if he did want her (which he absolutely doesn't) their relationship is forbidden.

Matis Moreau is ready for something new. He's been running a kink club in Paris for the last thirty years, and it's time to move on. The only problem is...he doesn't have anything to move on to. He's a lonely fifty-three-year-old man in desperate need of a life.

Then, one day his best friend's daughter devises a plan. Amelia will find him a real partner, and in return, he'll help her find a man worthy of her charm and beauty. But no matter how hard they try--no matter how many dates they set each other up on--no one else can measure up. They're both falling hard for the one person they definitely shouldn't touch.

And once they give in to illicit temptation, the fire between them may prove so strong it'll burn everything to the ground...

The first in a seductive new romantasy series from #1 New York Times bestselling author Scarlett St. Clair.

Banished by the church and betrayed by blood, Lilith makes a life in Nineveh, a neon-lit district where urban fantasy meets noir seduction. When a relic of unimaginable power finds her, it awakens enemies, a lover, and a terrifying prophecy she was born to fulfill.

She is the beginning and the end.

She is peace and chaos.

She is terror knocking at the gates.

Estranged from her powerful family, Lilith Leviathan finds refuge in Nineveh, a district in the city of Eden devoted to sin. There, she uses her magic to steal for a living, attracting the attention of the five governing families as well as the church, which expects women to remain pious and silent. When Lilith comes into possession of a beautiful blade, she thinks all her worries are over...until her usual buyer dies while inspecting it.

Frantic, Lilith turns to the only man who can help her: Zahariev, head of the Zareth family and ruler of Nineveh. His currency is information, and his power is extortion, though he's always had a soft spot for Lilith. But when the dagger appears, he isn't sure he can protect her from what's to come.

Together, they embark on a mission to discover the true power running their world. As their lives intertwine, Lilith realizes Zahariev is more than just a friend, but their devotion to each other is a threat--to the truth, to the church, and to those who want to tear it all down.
