AUTHOR: Lorelei M. Hart
SERIES: Omegas of Oliver Creek #17
PUBLISHER: Decadent Publishing
LENGTH: 96 pages
RELEASE DATE: 2/23/2026
BLURB:
I moved to Oliver Creek without knowing what a tourist destination it had become. All I knew was that I needed to get away from seeing my ex living his best life everyday with his new mate and their new baby. Not that I wished them anything less. It was just hard watching them live the life I’d thought would be mine.
Anywhere would do, and I learned via a friend that Oliver Creek needed a new librarian. According to the mayor, the place had been newly revamped and needed someone younger, someone who knew how to get more patrons into the library. It was either that or lose funding. And that would be the real shame.
After working in a huge library for several years, I yearned to apply my organizational and planning skills to a smaller facility where I could make a real difference. So, I filled out the application, met with the town council via Zoom, and received an offer within days. Of course, I had to give notice at work and to my landlord, as well as handle other factors involved in moving and setting up a new life. Thirty days later, I packed my car, arranged for my furniture to be shipped, and started out filled with optimism.
From the moment I arrive in town, things go south. The library roof is leaking, my ex texts me that he regrets our breakup and wants me back, and my apartment isn’t ready. The council offers to put me up, but there is not a room available in the entire town.
Oliver Creek might be the newest, shiniest thing, but it’s screwing me over.

SERIES: Widdershins Academy #4
PUBLISHER: UwU Publishing
LENGTH: 263 pages
RELEASE DATE: 2/23/2026
BLURB:
A forgotten witch. A dark elf prince. A bond written in the stars… and a love forbidden by the crown.
Silver:
I was born into destiny—the Twilight prince with white hair and violet skin, heir to a kingdom that never lets me forget who I am. At Widdershins Academy, I’ve tasted freedom: magic, sports, friendships that let me pretend I’m just another student. But as my senior year comes to an end, so does my time.
The crown is waiting. So is the bride chosen for me. A woman I’ll never love. Because I don’t love women—I never have.
And then Ash Vale appears.
A quiet witch from a family so low they’re barely remembered, with eyes like sapphires and magic he doesn’t even realize is extraordinary. He shouldn’t matter. He shouldn’t even exist in my world. But the first time we touched, I knew—he’s the one I called to me years ago with a forbidden childhood love spell, the one fate promised would be mine.
He’s everything I want. Everything I can’t have.
Loving him means betraying my family, my kingdom, and the crown itself. But I’m not sure I can let him go. Not this time.
Ash:
Witches like me aren’t meant to be noticed. I came to Widdershins to build a future out of scraps, to prove I could belong despite my tarnished family’s name. I never expected him.
Silver—a dark elf, popular, beautiful, carved from another world. He should be nothing but a reminder of the gulf between us. But when his gaze lingers on me, when his hand brushes mine, the truth is undeniable.
We’re bound.
I don’t know how. I don’t know why. But my magic flares for him, my soul reaching like it’s been waiting all along. And that terrifies me. Because Silver belongs to the Twilight Realm, to a throne that will never accept someone like me.
Giving in means daring to love the impossible. But walking away feels like tearing my own heart in half.

PUBLISHER: UwU Publishing
LENGTH: 244 pages
RELEASE DATE: 2/23/2026
BLURB:
A city wedding planner. A small-town sheriff. A love they never planned on.
Xavier
When my best friend asked me to plan his wedding, I said yes. I just didn’t expect it to be on a dusty ranch in nowhere, Texas.
I’m Xavier Hart, a Manhattan wedding planner, perfectionist, and completely out of my depth in cowboy country. Wrangling vendors, dodging small-town gossip, and living in a guest cabin with spotty Wi-Fi isn’t exactly my style. But for Lucas, I’ll make it work.
What I didn’t plan for was him.
Sheriff Marcus Webb. He’s tall, steady, and devastatingly handsome. He’s grit and steel wrapped in a uniform, with a voice that makes my knees weak and eyes that linger too long. One dance at the bachelor party and I’m gone, falling for a man from a different world than mine.
Marcus
Being sheriff means living under a spotlight. My father wore this badge before me, and I’ve spent my life trying to be the man Sagebrush expects.
The one thing I can’t be? Out.
I’ve always liked men, but not here, not where every choice I make is judged. Annual vacations to Houston are where I let myself breathe. Sagebrush is where I keep the mask on.
Until Xavier Hart blows into town in sharp suits and sharper words, tearing down every wall I built. He’s chaos, temptation, and everything I’ve told myself I can’t have.
And the longer he’s here, the more I wonder if I can be the sheriff Sagebrush needs… and live my truth at the same time.

RELEASE DATE: 2/23/2026
BLURB:
Stalked in the shadows of the bathhouse by a vampire… and there’s no escape.
I spent the last year reinventing myself. I hit the gym, upgraded my wardrobe, and clawed my way from the bottom of the office scoreboard to the very top. I want to be someone who matters. I want the biggest clients.
So when Raoul Allard walks into my office after hours—wearing a suit worth more than my car and radiating a cold, magnetic power—I see the commission of a lifetime.
He promises me the account, but there’s a catch. He doesn’t do business in boardrooms.
Instead, I find myself at a nondescript bathhouse at midnight, holding a locker key and staring down a hallway filled with steam.
Raoul isn’t just a wealthy heir; he’s a vampire with centuries of hunger in his dark eyes. He wants to see if the buttoned-up professional like me can handle the rough touch of an orc, the hunger of a werewolf, and the possessive bite of the vampire who orchestrated it all.
I went looking for a deal. I found a new master.

BLURB:
It’s 2006 and Sixteen-year-old A.J. Walker is openly gay, painfully Canadian, and very much out of his depth. He’s wanted to do his school’s exchange program for years, but now that he’s landed at an all-boys school in Glenbridge Ireland—an ocean away from Moose Jaw Saskatchewan—he’s starting to question his decisions. Armed with nothing more than his trusty Discman and an accent that makes him stand out, A.J. has one goal: get through the Irish school year.
Born and raised in Glenbridge, Bren O’Shea has never known how to sit still or keep quiet. He’s also never known a day without laughter. Even when things get bad, Bren always knows how to get a smile out of someone, whether they asked him or not. His mam always says he needs to think before he acts, but as long as his heart’s in the right place, what’s the harm in a bit of impulse?
Glenbridge is the sort of town where everyone knows everyone—and unfortunately for A.J. once someone thinks they know you, it’s hard to change their mind.
After a rocky start that ends in disaster, Bren and A.J. need to decide if it’s worth reaching out to someone who’s so different from you—especially when one of you has to leave in June.

He’s already lost everything else… he can’t lose him, too.
Jaxon values very little in his life, but what he does value? Football, school, and his best friend, Blaze.
But an injury takes him out of the game permanently, and it bleeds into his schooling, making it hard for him to study, to do his classwork, and attend classes.
Blaze is his only constant, the one thing in his life that hasn’t changed.
Somewhere in the midst of the chaos his mind has become, Jaxon is falling in love with his best friend.
Problem is, they’ve both always been straight. He can barely make sense of his own feelings, much less fathom a reality in which Blaze falls for him, too.
But if there’s one thing Jaxon knows… It’s that fate always has its own plans.

BLURB:
HOW DO YOU STOP BURNING FOR SOMEONE WHO CANNOT ACCEPT YOUR WARMTH?
Taylor Ellison has always known exactly who he is. He’s used to living life without shame and uncaring of consequence. That is until a familiar face from his past makes a reappearance. Everything in his gut tells him to stay far away from the man that broke him, but that’s easier said than done. They went their separate ways for a reason. A reason he wished held more weight than the unbearable ache that grows in his chest every second he fights to keep his distance.
Xavier Wilde knows only two things; he made the biggest mistake of his life when he married someone else and is still very much in love with a man he never deserved. He always had a set plan for his life; one that never involved falling for someone he wasn’t brave enough to keep. Six years have passed, and yet, it does nothing to ease the pain in realizing what he gave up. Common sense tells him to walk away, but he’s sick of being logical.
The undeniable flame they still carry for each other threatens to burn down every wall time built between them. While they may be uncertain of their future, they know without a shred of doubt that they’ll never be ready to let each other go. Not even if holding on means catching fire themselves.

LENGTH: 390 pages
RELEASE DATE: 2/24/2026
BLURB:
The world isn’t ready for an omega like Lucky Darro.
Lucky Darro is many things an omega shouldn’t be—feisty, independent, a freedom fighter. He believes in the old ways, holding firm to traditions long thought barbaric and ridiculous. Just as he’s starting to get to know college heartthrob Chase Walker, Lucky finds himself in a tricky situation. Captured by a gang of traders within the illegal Omega Market, he has to make a snap decision—save himself or protect an underage girl and her badly beaten brother. For Lucky, it’s not even a choice…
Chase Walker comes from the most prominent alpha family of the province. He should have known it wasn’t his fate to get a docile, obedient mate. But when he discovers that his mate is the freedom fighter Lucky Darro, and that he might have to compete with another alpha for his affection, Chase has to step up and re-evaluate everything he ever knew about true mates.
Ford King survived a childhood with a drug-addicted mother, and spent his formative years on the streets fighting for money, freedom and a place to belong. Protecting omegas and his recruitment into the Omega Rescue Taskforce was always his fate. But when Lucky comes into his life, it’s clear that nothing will ever be the same again.
Together they must battle the Omega Market, the prejudices of a world not used to a three-way bond, and the growing chemistry that sparks between them. The only question isn’t whether they can survive the flames, but how hot the fire will burn.

They’re mates. They’re in love. So why does it feel like they’re falling apart?
Ever since finding out they were mates five years ago, Christian and Dave have been inseparable. They’re different from one another, sure—kind of like sandpaper and silk—but love smooths out the edges.
But now they’re in a strange town, away from their pack, investigating a decades-old murder for their alpha. And without their usual routine to distract them, those tiny differences are beginning to feel more like rifts they can’t quite bridge.
Christian loves his mate, fiercely and absolutely, but he’s allergic to talking. And Dave, always the one smoothing down the feathers that Christian’s antagonism ruffles, wants nothing more than for Christian to open up. To tell him how he feels instead of having to guess. But he can’t ask—asking for more drives people away. It always has.
Meanwhile, their murder investigation is going nowhere fast, Christian’s thrown himself into the local pack’s fight ring, and the pack is circling, looking for weaknesses to exploit.
If they can finally say the things that matter, they might walk out of this town with a closeness they never knew they’d been missing. If not… they may not walk out at all.

Alaric: Turning thirty doesn’t mean you have to grow up and be boring, right? Except if you ask all my friends, it does. They’re all busy coupling up and settling down, while I’m stuck cuddling up to strangers for a shot at a good night’s sleep. Only this state of utter desperation would lead me to move to middle-of-nowhere Sutton Common with the world’s most peculiar, boring man. He even walks an imaginary dog!
Gerald: I never thought I would want a housemate, and after meeting Alaric, I’m even more convinced. The man’s a walking disaster who sleeps on the floor and won’t stop making fun of my book club reads. I could never trust him with my secrets, like my dream to dance with my neighbour’s dog at the prestigious Crufts dog show. I should be glad when he decides to move back out as soon as possible, right?
Only it turns out Alaric might appreciate a firm hand… and I might like being the one holding the leash.

When wolf shifter Chris is offered his first real mission as an enforcer trainee, he jumps at the chance to prove he belongs in the Pecan Pines Pack. After growing up isolated and packless in the mountains, he’ll do anything to protect the community that finally feels like home. But Chris never expected his assignment to involve going undercover at the annual regional dog show… or posing as someone’s mate.
Especially not Jaime.
Stoic, guarded, and impossible to read, Jaime is the last wolf Chris expects to be partnered with. Chris has tried to be friendly. Okay, maybe even flirt, but Jaime meets him with nothing but cool professionalism. Until their cover requires them to act like a devoted couple… and something in Chris’s wolf stirs with a pull he can’t deny.
Two shifters have already had their dogs mysteriously poisoned, and someone may be targeting shifter handlers to tear apart the fragile peace between humans and paranormals. Chris and Jaime must work together, share close quarters, and pretend to be bonded while tracking a dangerous saboteur.
But the longer they stay “fake mated,” the harder it becomes to ignore the truth:
Sometimes fate doesn’t whisper. Sometimes it shoves two wolves straight into each other’s arms.

I know better than to get involved with anyone, but someone who is enemy number one among my best friends is definitely a no-go.

It’s not a meet-cute. It’s a meet-chaos.
Nothing about Jamie Sullivan’s first season as captain of the Madison Muskies is going according to plan. He’s playing terribly, and an impulsive on-ice fight leaves him injured and out of the lineup. It feels like things can’t get worse when a drunken scrap with a neighborhood snowman lands him in Tyler’s path.
Tyler Raymond is back in Madison with his three year old son, Rowan, doing everything in his power to hold his life together while stuck in disorderly (but affordable) student housing. He has enough on his plate without huge, soft-eyed men knocking themselves unconscious in his yard.
Jamie is desperate to make things right. Realizing Tyler needs a reset, Jamie puts him in touch with his moms, who rent out their attic apartment. What began as a rock-bottom moment quickly changes as Jamie gets to know the prickly single dad and his adorable son, and soon enough it feels natural to include them in his life on and off the ice.
Neither of them have time for romance: Jamie is trying to return to the lineup and redeem himself, while Tyler is trying to make ends meet as a single parent. But there’s something undeniable there, and with every second the two men spend together, their reasons for why a relationship won’t work start to disappear.
Maybe, for each other, they can make time.

Once upon a time, the farmers of Whisper Grove laid offerings at my feet. In return, I blessed their fields and guarded their harvests. I was their crow shifter alpha. Their king. They wanted everything from me: prosperity, protection, and peaches. Lots and lots of peaches.
All I wanted was a mate.
Someone to call home and to bring shiny trinkets to. My mate never arrived, and, over time, the offerings slowed to nothing. How could I provide them with blessings when all my dreams of a mate had never come true.
Now I’m a whisper of a memory. A story older people tell each other, reminiscing about the past.
Some still remember me. A few even fear me. But days of savoring their reverence are long gone. I don’t want their worship, their tribute, their acts of perceived obligation.
I want my mate. Someone who chooses me for who I am and not what I can do for them. Someone to spoil. Someone to call my own.

I’ve spent most of my life hiding.
Hiding the fear. Hiding the pain. Hiding the memories that still scream when the lights go out. Every day is a performance—perfect student, perfect basketball player, perfect everything—because if I’m flawless, no one looks too closely at the cracks.
But I’m not okay. I’m barely holding it together.
Nobody sees me. Not really.
Except him.
Miguel.
My stepbrother. My anchor. The one person who doesn’t flinch when I break—who looks straight at the ugly parts of me and stays anyway. He makes me feel safe in a way that terrifies me, because safety turns into need, and need turns into wanting, and wanting turns into something I don’t know how to survive.
And then he touches me like he already knows I’m his.
MIGUEL
I’ve loved Caleb from the start, even when he refused to love himself.
I know his tells—the way his hands shake, the way his smile goes too sharp, and the way he goes quiet when his head gets loud. I know every scar, every shadow, every trembling edge of him.
And I’m not subtle about what I feel.
I want him. I want to protect him. I want to hold him so close the past can’t reach him anymore. I know the road to him is tangled with fear and doubt—but I’ll follow him anywhere. I’ll fight for him. I’ll wait for him.
And when he finally lets go…
I’m going to be the one there to catch him.
Because love like this comes with consequences. With boundaries to test and with walls to break down. And as we navigate desire, trust, and the past that refuses to let go, one thing becomes terrifyingly clear:
We are each other’s only way forward.
