I come bearing book presents for you

Because books are the best presents, right?

This has been a year, hasn't it? An everything-is-more-expensive, tridemic, worldwide-threats-to-democracy year.


You deserve something nice after all that.


Like free books, for a start.


That, at least, is a wish I can grant. I went around collecting some for you, courtesy of kind fantasy romance authors willing to share. (But only for a few days, in some cases, so snaffle them while the getting's good.)


May I present ...

The Diamond Scar by Lisette Marshall.

Snarky heroine, broody hero,

erratic water magic and

cuddling for warmth. (Plus spice.)


Grab it

The Complete Tales of Akatsuki

by Nicolette Andrews.

A Kitsune twist on the Little Mermaid

is one of three books in

this fairy-tale fusion series.


Grab it

Blade's Destiny by Lisa Blackwood.

An unexpected queen on a desperate

search for allies finds a warrior

trapped in the flesh markets of Nineveh.


Grab it

The Betrayer by Hannah E. Carey.

A seer king, a second chance at love

and a dark power rising ...

but who is behind it?


Grab it



And if that isn't enough, everything in this book fair is also free to snaffle up. Find those stories here, from a witch and werewolf caught in a war between their people to a small-town librarian facing down the god of storms.

What, you want more?


Well, don't forget the ones I wrote for you:


⭐ Clandestine, the magical-heist prequel to the Clandestine Magic series (or get the audiobook version).


⭐ Interlude, the more-happy-ending story in that same series.


⭐ And Contrariwise, the book to read after The Opposite of Magic.


These are gifts, you don't need to give back. But if you're feeling so inclined, reviews are always appreciated — on Amazon, Audible, Goodreads or anywhere else. Each one matters.


May 2023 treat us all more kindly, and may you always find the books you need.
