Power corrupts. Magic devours. In Hedge End, monsters aren’t born—they’re made. The city’s cursed gems twist human flesh into nightmares, and no one knows how to stop them. After the gems claimed her parents, Clara Aldridge, niece to the mayor and heir to his power, swore to protect what’s left of her broken home. But when a brutal murder shatters the safety of her household, her faith in law and order crumbles. The accused is her loyal housekeeper. The motive, unthinkable. And though every shred of evidence points to guilt, Clara knows in her bones it’s a lie. To uncover the truth, she must seek help from the last person she should ever trust: the thief Willoughby Tanner, the man who once betrayed her and vanished into the city’s underworld. Together, they descend into the veins of Hedge End, where the magic rots, beasts stalk their prey, and people vanish without a trace. Each clue drags them closer to the dark heart of the city… and to each other. But the closer they get, the more Clara realizes that saving Hedge End might demand more than courage. It might demand her soul. City of Beasts is the first book in A.N. Sage’s Beasts of Hedge End series—a lush, atmospheric romantasy of secrets, monsters, and dangerous desire, perfect for fans of Carissa Broadbent , Olivia Atwater , and H.G. Parry .

It started in a men’s bathroom. All I wanted was a quiet minute to pee. One desperate decision. Then… no toilet paper. A stranger’s hand slid a tissue under the stall door— and that’s where my life ended. Because when I walked out, they were waiting. The Raiders. Three kings who rule Dallas from the shadows—their empire built on blood, steel, and sin. Their names make grown men pray for mercy they’ll never get. And now they say, “You’re ours, princess.” My father gambled with the Cartel and lost. His debt? Me. Xavier —the ruthless king with fire in his veins—wants my fear. Isaiah —chaos incarnate with moss-green hair and ink-stained skin—wants to unravel my mind. Asher —silent and surgical—studies me like a puzzle he plans to shatter. They think they’ve caged a hostage. What they’ve really done is chain a storm. I bite. I burn. I was never meant to be tamed. But that’s nothing compared to when they discover what I’ve done. (Previously included in the Ruthless Kings of Thornhaven universe. This edition has been expanded and restructured as Book One of The Raider Kings series.) Content Notes: Dark Why Choose Romance · MF/M/M · No sword crossing · High emotional intensity · Violence, captivity, and mature themes.

Book 1 in the Freshman Roommates Series from New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Mara Jacobs. I didn’t believe in love at first sight, until I first saw Lucas Kade. I was giving swimming lessons to children when I first saw him. Turns out one of the kids was Lucas’s little brother. So, I’d be seeing a lot more of Lucas. And that was just fine with me. I had a lot going on—a freshman at an elite college, first time away from home, and, oh yeah, roommates with a girl I’d been sent to spy on. I wasn’t exactly looking for anything exclusive. Something casual, though, would be great. But there was nothing casual about my feelings for Lucas. He was a townie, hiding a secret, and I knew better than to get involved. I was always the sensible one, the peacekeeper. Before I knew it…I was In Too Deep. This New Adult contemporary romance contains 3-4 graphic love scenes. If it was a movie, it would be rated R. The books of the Freshman Roommates Series: 1) In Too Deep (Lily and Lucas) 2) In Too Fast (Jane and Stick) 3) In Too Hard (Syd and Montrose)
