O Little Town of Bethlehem

by Elizabeth Boyle


A heartwarming, magical story of a modern woman lost in time who must assist two unlikely strangers in untangling the lies surrounding their lives if she wants to return to her own time and place.

When a snowy accident topples Madeline Drake through a slip in time, she wakes to find herself in tiny, turn of the century, Bethlehem, Wyoming, far from her hectic existence. And as much as it is a shock to her, her arrival immediately upends the tenaciously rooted lives of the town’s odd collection of lost souls.

But the rules are clear—she must stay until Christmas before the door home will open. Having never been much for rules, Madeline begins an all-out campaign to return sooner rather than later, only to find that her arrival has unwittingly upended the lives of the town's kind and shy postmistress, Ninny Minch, and that of sharp-tongued and reclusive widow, Savannah Clarke.

While helping anyone other than herself doesn't come easily to her—and despite Madeline’s best efforts to avoid entanglements—fragile bonds of friendship form between this improbable trio. Much to Madeline’s surprise, she discovers that trust and acceptance once given, may be strong enough to untangle even the most darkly held secrets.

Including a few of her own.

As Christmas draws near, Madeline finds herself so entwined in Bethlehem’s currency of wishes and hope, she starts to wonder if this small town might hold the keys to a life of purpose and empowerment like she’s never imagined. And when the door does open, will she be brave enough to step through it and leave everything and everyone behind?


If you are looking for a warm and cozy holiday read, one to share with your dearest friends, your book club, and your family, O Little Town of Bethlehem is sure to delight. Don't miss out on this wonderful love story to friendship.

Vampyre Hypothesis

by Tammy Battaglia


 

***Global Book Awards 2024 Bronze Medal Winner***

A medical examiner, a living corpse, and a secret that could change humanity forever.

Dr. Elizabeth Ramsey has seen her share of strange deaths—but nothing like the charred corpse on her autopsy table. His heart shouldn’t be beating. He shouldn’t have fangs. And he definitely shouldn’t be waking up.

When Beth realizes her newest patient is a vampire—and still alive—she faces an impossible choice: turn him over to the medical community for dissection… or risk everything to save a creature science says shouldn’t exist.

Nursing him back to health draws Beth into a hidden world of blood-soaked betrayals and a centuries-old vendetta between her patient and a merciless ancient vampire who will stop at nothing to destroy him—and anyone who helps.

Perfect for fans of dark secrets, vampire romance, and smart heroines who won’t back down, Vampyre Hypothesis is a gripping urban fantasy debut that sinks its teeth in and doesn’t let go.

Gentleman. Ladykiller. Assassin. Spy.


King Ember has a secret weapon. His name is Killian Lord. He’s the king’s personal assassin. No one is faster with a blade, quicker on a horse, or sharper with a quip. He’s the only man in Alba allowed to kill outside the bounds of chivalry.

Court of Light and Dark: A Slow Burn Urban Fantasy Romance (Hidden Courts of the Fae)

by Heather D. Grace


Half-fae, half-human—entirely unprepared to face the war my bloodline dragged me into.

The moment I touch the broken rescue stallion, scars thicken like armor across his back and wings begin to regrow. I've barely processed this when a gruff man with glowing eyes and a pulsing energy shows up on my ranch, claiming I'm half fae...and the key to saving three realms.

I refuse to let anyone else decide who I become, but that doesn't stop my fae "guardian" from black mailing me to follow him to his realm, where small folk are vanishing, only to return stripped of their magic and dying slow, tortured deaths. And while my healing magic is stirring here, it’s barely enough to help with the demons hunting us, let alone save anyone.

As for my guardian? Seems like even being near me is painful, and I can’t tell if it’s from resisting the connection between us, or something darker. Especially when it feels like his blood commands mine... and my own might destroy him.

But distraction could cost us everything; if I fail the prophecy, demons will enslave the fae, destroy the human realm, and take the creature I care about most: my Leath Pegasus.

They say I’m the key to saving the realms, but as time runs out, I can't help but wonder if anyone can stop what’s coming.


Fans of Anne Bishop’s Pillars of the World and Faith Hunters' Jane Yellowrock Series will love this fast-pace, hidden magics, and forbidden love between a grumpy fae guardian and a sunshiny but reluctant chosen one.

I’m a wedding planner. I coordinate chaos for a living. But nothing prepared me for Saltford Bay’s grumpy werewolf sheriff, especially not when he kissed me like a feral beast… and then asked me to be his fake mate.

Planning a dragon wedding is hard enough. Add a stolen tiara, a brewing scandal, and one scowling werewolf with eyes like wildfire and a permanent stick up his tail, and suddenly I’m wondering if I should’ve stayed in bed.

Sheriff Adrian Wolfsbane is stern, broody, and impossible to work with. He’s handling security for the dragon wedding of the century, so when the bride’s priceless tiara vanishes and things start catching fire, of course he takes charge of the investigation.

When the suspect list starts looking a little too close to home, he makes me an offer: pretend to be his mate, and he’ll give me full access to the case. The plan? Convince everyone we’re bonded, sniff out the thief, and avoid catching feelings.

Easy, right?

Except now I’m staying at his cabin, wearing his scent, and trying to ignore the way he looks at me like I already belong to him.

And if he keeps acting like I’m more than just his fake mate… I’m not sure I’ll want to keep pretending. It was supposed to be a temporary arrangement.

No touching.
No feelings.
Definitely no biting.
