She’ll win back her freedom, even if she has to steal it.

Nimona Weston has a debt to pay. Her father’s dealings with the dark society known as the Trust cost Nim her freedom. There’s one way out of the contract on her life and that’s to bide her time and pay the tithes. But when the Trust assigns Nim to a task in the king’s own castle, her freedom is not the only thing she’ll risk.

Warrick Spenser has a secret. As king’s seneschal, he should be the last soul in Inara to risk association with dark magic, but long-hidden ties to the Trust are harder to shed than simply cutting the threads. When the Trust sends a thief to his rooms, Warrick thinks he’s finally found a way to be rid of them for good. But Nimona Weston is hiding secrets of her own.

Magical contracts, blood-debt accountants, and a deadly game. An epic fantasy with regency flair, an improper and slightly stabby heroine with a penchant for trouble, clean slow burn romance, and a dark and twisty plot that pits magic against kings, love against power, and a gothic underworld against a kingdom desperate to survive. Perfect for fans of Sorcery of Thorns and The Shadows Between Us.

Who’s afraid of the big, bad werewolf?

On the fog-shrouded cobblestone streets of gaslamp London, Agent Clemeny Louvel is the most feared werewolf hunter. Every supernatural creature in Her Majesty’s realm knows the Red Cape Society’s relentless operative dubbed “Little Red.” When the city’s most illustrious alchemists mysteriously disappear, Clemeny is assigned to the case.

To help her get the problem in hand, Queen Victoria appoints Clemeny a temporary partner, Sir Richard Lionheart, a werewolf with a knightly history and a tendency to be far too flirtatious for either of their good.

Can Clemeny trust him to help her chase down the monsters they’re hunting?

From New York Times bestselling author Melanie Karsak, Wolves and Daggers is a retelling of the Little Red Riding Hood fairy tale set in Victorian England.

When an unprepared bachelor finds himself with custody of magical orphans, can he navigate a Faerie noble, an evil witch, and parenting a toddler?

Charles Henderson “Chip” Proctor’s life is filled with cash, supermodels, and success. Enjoying the fast lane of the wealthy elite, the prominent NY investment executive can’t believe it when his brother and sister-in-law die in a car crash that makes him guardian of their children. And it just gets worse after he discovers his four-year-old niece and six-month-old nephew are the secret half-Fae heirs to an enchanted throne.

Rose Eldersdottir is furious. It’s bad enough she was passed over to bear the future queen, but now she’s stuck dealing with the little ones’ new caregiver—their odious mortal uncle. And the warrior princess struggles to balance teaching the fool about Fae and tracking down her sibling’s murderer.

Struggling to work with the kids’ supernatural aunt who thinks she’d be a better parent, Chip’s jet-setting lifestyle wobbles in the face of his new responsibilities. And as Rose laments the man’s lack of discretion, she fears he’s one blunder away from getting them all killed.

Is this newly formed family unit doomed?

Unlikely Guardian is the fun, action-packed first book in the Uncle Chip Saves the Fae urban fantasy series. If you like floundering heroes, surprising twists and turns, and the start of a slow-burn romance, then you’ll love Jamie Davis’s pint-sized, big-hearted adventure.
