He thinks maybe it’s time to go home. Unfortunately, home is where his heart is, and he can’t take back the way he left things with Buck. It’s a hard choice between facing Buck again or facing his upturned life by going back to work. Both options leave him equally doomed.

Buck has worked the ranch for over a decade. He watched Sterling turn into an amazing horseman. Buck also fell in love so hard it knocked the good sense from him. He knew to the bottom of his soul he would spend his life with Sterling. That is, until Sterling wrecked everything good about them.

No alpha can resist my pheromones, until I met the one who can. And of course, he’s the only one who can help me claim my inheritance.

Six months to find a mate and get pregnant, or I lose my billion-dollar inheritance. Should be easy for a playboy omega like me. After all, my pheromones have alphas falling at my feet.

But someone’s sabotaging my efforts, and time is running out. That’s when I contact the Alpha Guards for protection.

I never expected Stefan; stoic, serious, and completely immune to my scent. The only alpha who’s ever resisted me is the one assigned to protect me. It’s maddening. It’s fascinating. It’s… incredibly hot.

This was supposed to be a simple business arrangement. Find a suitable alpha, secure my fortune, and move on. But something about Stefan makes me want more than just his protection.

For the first time in my life, I want an alpha who sees past my power and wealth. But can I trust that what’s growing between us is real when there’s a billion dollars at stake?

RELEASE DATE: 1/13/2026

BLURB:

Eric Chistiansen—not his real name—has been looking for sanctuary for a long time. He finally thinks he’s found a crime syndicate that might watch his back while he tries to disentangle himself from his highly lucrative, highly illegal job as a killer for hire, albeit a picky one. He’s ready to hang up his guns for some peace.

Brady Carnegie came to this little slice of desert between Meth and Hell because he wanted to help bring crime down. He’s deeply disappointed to find that his new boss and others in the department are crooked. But Brady has stumbled onto the key to ending the corruption plaguing the stretch of desert he’s coming to love, if he can stay alive long enough to use it.

Brady finds unexpected allies in the same unlikely group that’s sheltering Eric and starts to realize that the good guys may not wear badges, and the bad guys who do have enough to lose to put his new friends at risk too. Brady’s always been a solid law and order man, but he finds himself shifting allegiances like the desert sands shift beneath his feet.

As Eric grows more protective of the earnest deputy, it becomes clear that a true warrior never gets to hang up his guns, and redemption doesn’t come without a price. Can a hidden nest of vigilantes bring justice to their barren land while the cop and the hitman find comfort in each other’s arms? Or is the cost of redemption only measured in blood?

TITLE: Two Left Feet

AUTHOR: Kallie Emblidge

PUBLISHER: Dell

LENGTH: 312 pages

RELEASE DATE: 1/13/2026

BLURB:

Oliver Harris is football royalty in London. Ordinarily the star of the Camden Roses is calm, cool, and collected, keeping his club relevant with his prowess in the midfield and his mighty left foot. But this season, the threats abound: There’s Camden’s management to contend with—complete with a prickly new Dutch coach, eager for better results—and a midseason injury, which sidelines him when his team needs him most. When a recruit is called up to fill in, Oliver fears he’ll be replaced. If he can mentor this younger talent, then they might just have a chance at winning, together.

After a string of lackluster performances in his native Spain, Leonardo Davies-Villanueva is looking for one last shot with the club he always dreamed of, where he once played in the youth academy. Oliver immediately finds confident, eager Leo irritating. He can barely go through the motions, let alone coach him, without outright hostility. When he comes to admire Leo’s skill and warms to his humor and energy, though, he begins to see Leo as a friend—and then, to his mounting horror, as something more.

Leo craves Oliver’s attention and partnership; Oliver can’t afford to fall in love with his teammate. He’s always kept a tight lid on his sexuality in a league that’s never had a player come out. As the season heats up, a lot more than football hangs in the balance. Can Oliver—and Leo—win when it counts most?

Maybe this is possession; maybe this is truly what it is to be haunted.

There’s a ghost haunting Drew Tarpin’s new room. Liam Orville has been dead for ten months and has no idea how to move on. But the longer he stays, the more likely it is he’ll degrade into an energy consuming husk—which Drew is more concerned about than her grades or her inability to make meaningful connections with other students.

Drew is everything Liam never was when he was alive, but they do share some common ground: Drew finds herself hopelessly attracted to—and completely tongue-tied around—Hannah Sullivan, who happens to be Liam’s former best friend.

After a run-in with a ghost-eating monster leaves Drew and Liam desperate for answers, they strike up a deal: In return for Drew investigating why Liam is still around, he’ll help her talk to Hannah. But Liam’s time is running out, and if Drew doesn’t help him move on, he risks becoming a monster himself.

Seven Symanski doesn’t need anyone, least of all Enzo Conti. As one of Jericho’s Boys, a vigilante crew that protects their neighborhood, Seven has a found family, a mission, and enough baggage to keep any relationship at arm’s length. When a favor introduces him to Enzo, a charming criminal defense attorney and the son of Francesca Conti—the neighborhood’s own Robin Hood—sparks fly. But Seven’s never been good at sticking around, and a one-night stand seems like all they’re destined for.

Enzo’s life is built on rules, order, and keeping his family’s shady dealings just this side of legal. But Seven is chaos incarnate, and Enzo has never wanted anyone more. When Seven ghosts him, Enzo takes matters into his own hands, offering a no-strings deal that backfires spectacularly. Enzo’s mother intervenes with a plan to teach him a lesson, and suddenly, the boy he can’t stop thinking about is right under his nose—and maddeningly out of reach.

But when Seven’s mother is accused of embezzlement, the stakes turn deadly serious. The only one who can help is Enzo, even if it means going against his own powerful law firm. Together, they must unravel a dangerous conspiracy while navigating the growing tension between them.

As their worlds collide, trust is tested, lines are crossed, and Enzo and Seven discover that love doesn’t always follow the rules. But with a little risk, they might just find a way to save the day—and each other.

Sometimes, the most twisted trails are the ones that lead to home

Adair

I fell in love with a bossy a-hole and we lived happily ever after. Except that’s not how it happens in real life. Although Jack and I have made our unconventional relationship work, it’s a lot easier learning what gets him wound up than figuring out what makes him tick.

I’ve got supportive friends and a budding career doing what I love. I’ve even made peace with my dark cravings to be used and broken. And as our intimacy grows, I discover the warmth buried beneath Jack’s frosty outer shell.

But sometimes my own husband still feels like a stranger to me. Will he ever trust me enough to expose the vulnerability I’ve only glimpsed behind all his sharp edges?

Jack

I will never be a nice guy. So I was shocked when the persistent little bunny who wanted to be chased stuck around.

Inflicting the pain he craves is the easy part. Our intense, primal chemistry burns hot, and the passage of time only inflames my desire to posses this flighty, feisty little rabbit. But can I prove to us both that I can fulfill all his needs after the humbling realization that the biggest threat to our happiness might be my own fault?

And to top it off, I can’t shake the unsettling sense that although I’m the one who’s always been the one to give chase, I’m starting to feel the most tireless pursuer of all — age — nipping at my heels.

RELEASE DATE: 1/14/2026

BLURB:

Can rookie Cam’s sunshine steal veteran Dawson’s thunder?

Kicker Dawson Hall is ready to leave his past in the dust. His last season was catastrophically bad, with the distraction of his divorce and discovering that his father-in-law wasn’t managing his money—he was stealing it, instead.

He signs with the Toronto Thunder, poised for his redemption arc, but he’s grumpy and frustrated he has to undertake one at all. He should be better than this. He is better than this.

The new rookie punter’s hero worship might be just another annoyance, but Cameron Green is sweet and kind and more than a little naïve. He’s a country boy suddenly dumped amongst all the skyscrapers, with no idea of how the real world can chew him up and spit him out. It’s practically Dawson’s duty to mentor him and if Dawson soaks up a little of his sunshine, too?

Well, nobody could blame him for that. Not after the year’s he’s just had.

But when Dawson starts craving more and more of Cam, his crush dangerously teetering into passion kind of territory, he’s forced to not just confront his own past, full of disappointment and distrust, but his future, too.

He wants his redemption, and that perfect vision of a season feels just within reach. But it turns out he doesn’t just want Cam for single season—even if it’s everything he believed he wanted—he wants Cam for every season.

Love. Four seemingly innocuous letters that have caused James a lot of grief. Growing up, he thought he had his mom and dad’s love, and his first boyfriend had said lots of pretty words—“love” included. But when push came to shove, the only one whose love stuck around was his mom.

And yes, he knows how pathetic that sounds, especially given that his mom is now busier than ever, happily planning Valentine’s Day for her two partners. Things are changing, though. James also has a beloved partner. A man he’s ready to introduce to his mom, and maybe even say those terrifying three words to…

He just has to make it perfect.

Leon, on the other hand, is far from perfect, and has no plans to try and be anything other than what he is: the office bad boy who is finally facing his ADHD head on…while also reckoning with the fact that he’s head over heels for his ridiculous, adorable boyfriend.

With the help of new friends and his loveable cat Yarmen, he’s sure everything will work out just fine.

Righting the world’s wrongs was my sole focus, until my childhood friend gave me a new one.

When I decided to become a child therapist, I never imagined it would lead me down the dark and dangerous path I’m on, but after listening to one case after another of children enduring terrible conditions, and worse, I knew I had to do more than comfort those poor souls. I had to stop it.

And that’s exactly what I do. I hunt down abusers, predators, and scum, and I make sure they pay. The first time I took things too far, I should have been appalled, but instead, it reignited my passion for ridding the world of these losers.

It was going great too, until I got a little sloppy. The only reasonable response is to let things cool down and disappear for a while. I didn’t know running into my former best friend would be exactly what I needed.

He’s not at all like the guy I used to know, and there are things about himself he never told me. Now, I’m discovering a new side of Nantes, and in the process, discovering myself. When exploration turns to something more, I have a huge decision to make—continue my mission, or try for an honest life and a chance at love.

Is there a way I can have both?

Love was never on my to-do list, but now that I have it, I’ll let the world burn before I let anything happen to him.

Grym

I’ve reaped souls for three hundred years without a single mistake. Until Elliot Coyne. I’m supposed to ferry him into the afterlife, not bring him back to life and turn him immortal.

Now HR is threatening me, the world is acting like it might explode, and my reaper brothers are stress-snacking like it’s Armageddon.

Even worse? My soul insists Elliot is my beloved. Reapers aren’t supposed to have those. Are they? Regardless, it’s wildly inconvenient.

Elliot

So I die, wake up immortal and able to walk between realms, not that I know what those actually are.

The guy responsible is an annoyingly hot reaper who apparently broke the universe just to keep me breathing.

We’re suddenly stuck together, hunted by his supernatural bosses, and if we fall for each other it might tear reality apart.

Love isn’t supposed to end the world. Yet here we are.

Now he’s getting to know Ravenstone, a supernatural small town where the coffee is strong, the monsters are quirky, and someone just murdered a vampire at the first annual Magic Festival.

His ally? Gideon Blackwood—a gorgeous wolf shifter who can’t shift but still manages to growl in all the right ways. He knows he can’t be Alpha, but that doesn’t stop him from protecting everyone else… including one reckless new witch who doesn’t know when to quit.

Between magical cookies and cakes, a bunch of meddling misfit monsters, and a lot of spilled coffee, Declan and Gideon have their hands full. But if they want to catch a killer—and maybe fall a little in love—they’ll have to trust their instincts and maybe their magic.

Because in Ravenstone, coffee solves most problems. The rest? Magic and a hot wolf usually do the trick.

The connection is strong and over the years, Freid wonders if he should just give up and ask the alpha to be his mate. It was only a dream after all.

Alpha tiger shifter Ty never used to be a club kind of guy. He wanders into Animals one night to meet a blind date who ghosts him. He isn’t even mad about it.

Freid is waiting for someone, but it isn’t him.

Omega dingo shifter Penn grew up hiding in the library. It was the one safe space where he could hide, first from his life in foster care and then from the cruelty of the pack who took him in.

When a box of menus is accidentally left with a shipment at the library, Penn decides to drop them off at Animals himself. He has no idea that two alphas sitting there have been waiting for him for years.

BLURB:

Elias

I don’t know what’s wrong with me to want something like this. To pay money for something like this. But I love it, even in my terror, even with tears streaming down my face as I race through the dark. What’s happening is my fantasy, isn’t it? Not some random person chasing me? The uncertainty adds to my panic.

But when he catches me and throws me down, when his powerful body dominates mine, I know it’s him. The one who’s been instructing me via text. The one I need.

The problem is, once won’t be enough. But this one brutal, blissful moment is all I can afford.

Andre

I’ve never gotten obsessed with someone whose fantasy I fulfilled. That’s the point. It’s a moment spent, a role played. When it’s over, it’s over. But Elias …

I can’t stop thinking about him, and not just that night. Other times. Little things. Yes, I’m stalking him.

I need to stop, but instead I find myself approaching him, again and again. He doesn’t know who I am, that I’m the one who chased him. So when I offer him a job with the kind of income that could fund another of his dark fantasies? He doesn’t realize that I’ll be fulfilling a fantasy of my own. I’ll be toying with him. Playing two roles.

It’s a bad idea, of course. Everything depends on my control, on keeping things in their own, separate boxes. I tell myself I can do it. But something about Elias—the way he needs me, the way he responds to me—turns this fantasy into a very dangerous game … for both of us.

RELEASE DATE: 1/15/2026

BLURB:

The galaxy is a dangerous place.

Especially for Cody Perrin—runner, fugitive, and the only Human known to the Empire. Taken from Earth as a teenager and forced into the Empire’s brutal Runner Program, Cody was meant to be disposable: Hunted down within days or weeks like all the rest. But Cody has survived ten years—longer than any other—turning him into the Empire’s favorite quarry. For captains like Anax, chasing him isn’t sport anymore. It’s personal.

With only Max, his sharp-tongued AI companion, Cody’s made a career of staying one step ahead. But when they seize a ship that shouldn’t exist—a vessel from the future with stealth systems no Imperial sensor can track—they gain more than just an edge. They gain hope. And questions. Who built it? Why is it here? And what does it mean for Earth, a world the Empire must never find?

Cody’s fight isn’t only about survival anymore. It’s about trust: in Max, in the found family they stumble toward, and in Corassà—the Empire soldier turned AWOL whose partnership threatens to become something deeper. As the Passalti struggle to rise from the ashes, and the mysterious Kengarins move behind the scenes, Cody must navigate a shifting war where the wrong move could expose Earth’s location. And if Earth falls, it won’t merely be enslaved like most of the galaxy, it will be utterly destroyed.

I grew up bouncing between abusive foster homes and lonely orphanages, always hoping for a family that never came. At eighteen, I aged out with nothing and ended up on the streets.

Homeless is no place for an Omega, so I did what I had to do. Even if it meant running with a gang, taking the fall for their crimes, and getting hauled off to jail.

I robbed the wrong Alpha. Except…he doesn’t press charges.

Adam Sinclair offers me something I’ve never had: Safety. A warm bed. Hot meals. A chance to pay back what I owe without sleeping in an alley

He’s nothing like the rich men I imagined—kind, patient, funny. Of course he has to be handsome, too. And sweet. And everything an Omega like me shouldn’t want.

I can’t afford a crush. So why is my heart fluttering every time he looks at me?

Adam

Normally when you’re robbed, you let the cops handle it. The bad guy goes off to jail, you press charges, and things are eventually made right.

But the look in the Omega’s eyes wasn’t that of a criminal’s—instead, all I saw was fear, a cornered man with nowhere left to run. The cops hauled him off but I couldn’t get those frightened eyes out of my mind the rest of the night. Once I learn he’s homeless, well…

Father says I’m too soft. Maybe he’s right.

I take Fletcher home, give him a place to sleep, and put him to work around the property. He throws himself into everything I ask, bright-eyed and eager, never once complaining.

And the longer he stays, the more impossible it becomes to ignore the pull between us—the soft giggles, the shy lip-bites, the sunlight outlining the gentle curve of his body.

I want him. I shouldn’t.

Father expects me to marry a wealthy Omega and polish the Sinclair name—not fall for a homeless feline shifter. Not fall for a man.

But it isn’t long before I’m in too deep to walk away, and I have to wonder… Is loving Fletcher worth losing everything?

BLURB:

Kit’s vampiric creator is dead, but he’s still running from the nightmares.

On one full moon in the little Scottish town Kit calls his own, he crosses paths with an annoyingly attractive werewolf who won’t leave him alone. Kit’s spent decades alone, but solitude is no longer preferable when faced with Quin’s insistently sweet and caring nature.

After experiencing heartbreak, Quin left his pack behind for a fresh start. He wasn’t looking for romance, so he certainly wasn’t expecting his beast to latch on to the irresistible-smelling vampire with sharp fangs and a sharper tongue.

So begins a supernatural courtship full of dad(dy) jokes, terrible cups of tea, late-night dog walks, and battles with the local vampire nest.

When Kit’s nightmares bleed into the real world, they threaten more than just Kit and Quin’s budding relationship. To have a future together, they’ll need to return to where Kit’s story began all those years ago.

Their survival instincts might have kept them safe until now, but even that might not be enough when facing the ghosts of Kit’s past.

Justice Hale knows he’s a monster.

Forged by captivity and experimentation, this hybrid wolf shifter has spent years believing he’ll destroy anything he touches. So when the fated mate bond pulls him toward Owen—a fragile Omega already broken by another wolf’s cruelty—Justice does the only thing he can.

He walks away.

Owen has been invisible his whole life.

Raised without a pack or family, trapped by an abuser who convinced him he deserved the pain, Owen has learned to make himself small. But when his Alpha finally sees the truth, Owen discovers something terrifying: safety might actually exist. And the possessive shifter who’s been watching him from the shadows? He might be the safest monster of all.

When Justice’s long-lost twin brother arrives, damaged, deadly, and hunted by the corporation that made them both, the threat forces Justice to finally confront what he’s been running from. Because the only thing more dangerous than claiming his fated mate… is leaving Owen unprotected in a world that wants to destroy them all.

Aidan Drummond is happy on his own.

A solitary tree surgeon, he’s made peace with working alone, eating alone, being alone. Until a serious accident tears his world apart and lands him in a hospital bed opposite the most beautiful man he’s ever seen.

Ludo Giordano is beautiful, bright, and impossible to ignore. Bipolar and sleepless, his world is ruled by colour—shifting, vivid, relentless. And when he looks at Aidan, he finds a flare of yellow he can’t resist. Their midnight conversations ignite something electric.

Something dangerous.

Something Aidan can’t forget once he’s discharged. Grey isn’t enough anymore, and when a chance reunion pulls them back together, that flare… Aidan can’t resist it either.

His recovery is slow and painful. Ludo’s instability is a storm they can’t outrun. Yet together, their fractured lives start to feel whole.

Almost.

Because loving Ludo means weathering every shade. It means holding on when he whispers kiss me again because he needs an anchor more than a promise.

It means fighting for a love that burns brighter in the dark.

For thirty-two years, I was his devoted right hand man. Until loyalty stopped being enough.

I built Algerone Caisse-Etremont’s mercenary empire from nothing. Cleaned up his messes, silenced his enemies, buried his secrets.

All except one.

The betrayal he never saw coming. The one that shattered everything.

Now he looks at me like I’m a stranger wearing a familiar face. Keeps me close because he needs me, distant because I haven’t earned forgiveness. I’d drop to my knees and beg if he gave me the chance.

He won’t. Not yet.

Then someone tries to buy me.

Our biggest rival thinks he can make the right offer. Like thirty-two years of loyalty has a price tag.

He’s wrong about the money.

But he’s right about one thing—I can break.

And the moment Algerone’s hands close around my throat, the moment he finally takes what we’ve spent decades pretending didn’t exist, I see it clearly:

I was never his employee.

I was always his.

And I’ll kill for the right to prove it.

BLURB:

My beta brother and I need our big break if we’re ever going to get our nutritionist business off the ground. And the gig with the Scented Scorpions hockey team is our golden ticket.

The deal? My twin lives with Timber Holtz for four months while I create the menus from home.

We’re ready to go, until a car crash leaves my brother in the hospital, and we can’t afford the bills.

The solution? Disguise myself as my brother. Dress up as a guy, pretend I’m an innocent little beta, and take his place. Who cares if my heat is due in a month? That’s future Ollie’s problem.

It should have been a solid plan, until I actually meet Timber, and we instantly scent match.

What’s even worse? He has no sense of smell, and that two hundred pounds of hockey playing muscle doesn’t have a clue what he’s doing to me when he walks around his house with his gleaming chest and a tiny towel around his hips. ‘Torture’ doesn’t even cover it.

That’s until I meet Kane Moretti, an Italian heartthrob and Timber’s sworn rival on and off the ice. Perfuming in public is the best way to hitch a ride on your scent match, and it’s only after I’ve hooked up with Kane do I realize what I’ve gotten myself into.

But we need this job, and I have to keep up the pretense until the end of the hockey season, no matter how hard I’m falling for them. All it’ll take is a little deception, a few suppressants, and a whole lot of luck.
