Flirting Lessons (2025)
Jasmine Guillory
"I'm not sure you can have a better summer read: a will-they-won't-they cat-and-mouse romp about challenging yourself to become the fullest - and most fulfilled - possible version of you. Add in a sun-baked setting, lovable sidekicks, and smoldering tension and I am one happy reader. What a perfect addition to the Guillory-verse."

Strange Folk (2024)
Alli Dyer
"STRANGE FOLK is an evocative journey of self-discovery - and rediscovery - that tickles every sensory input. I can't remember the last time I could not only see a story, but smell, taste, touch, and hear it, too. Its witchy prose made me feel like part of the Buck clan and its sense of place is as well-defined as its eccentric characters, somehow both eerily timeless and blisteringly current. With this stunning debut, Dyer shows herself to be a new standard-bearer for contemporary Southern Gothic."

The Other Side of Disappearing (2024)
Kate Clayborn
"I laughed and swooned and cried, then came away with indelible memories of unforgettable characters who jumped off the page and into my heart. A delight from beginning to end and beyond."
