Let Hunting Season Begin
Charlotte Fitzroy has never fit in with high society. Parentless and penniless, she's on the brink of an unprecedented seventh season without a proposal.
When unexpected heartbreak proves she's further from true love than ever, a trick of dark magic lands her in the Otherworld. There, she's offered the chance at a title she'd never dreamed possible: Queen of the Fae.
To claim it, she'll have to perform three tasks. Summon the Wild Hunt by piecing together an ancient relic scattered across the kingdom. Charm her hunters, the three beautiful, dangerous Fae dukes who will fight to claim her and become king. And keep her hands off her bodyguard, Sir Lachlan Cathal-the quiet, strapping knight who's hiding deliciously depraved secrets beneath his chivalrous exterior.
But not everyone in the Otherworld wants a mortal queen, and betrayal lurks around every gilded corner. As the hunt stalks toward a bloody, brutal end, Charlotte must make an impossible choice-win the crown or follow her heart?
Hunted by the Fae Duke is a dark romantasy standalone and part of the Immortal Hunters collection. This twisted faerie tale is perfect for readers who've always wondered what Bridgerton might look like in the magical world of The Cruel Prince if there was more spice and biting.
After a century of servitude in the Duskhold for the crime of being loved by a Fae, a woman walks into the cosmic sea seeking her end.
But fate has other plans.
She awakens in the mortal world, her youth restored with starlight and shadow stirring in her veins. What begins as survival becomes a rewriting of destiny as she infiltrates the very Fae court that once imprisoned her. Beneath the King’s watchful eye—and the looming presence of a wicked goddess—she’s determined to rekindle the love she lost and reclaim the life stolen from her a hundred years ago.
This second chance will either redeem her… or unravel the fragile balance between worlds entirely.

The Witcher meets From Blood and Ash in this epic fantasy romance novel about a journey through the shadows of harrowing truths, self discovery, and seeing how far one is willing to go to save those they love.
Once an heir, now a warrior…
Freedom is a luxury Viona Tarvas was never meant to have. Born into a kingdom of darkness, untamed powers burn beneath her skin, making her destined to become a weapon. It is an identity she swore to keep hidden, one that led her further into the shadows. While keeping her sword raised and tipped with grief, little does she know she is tied to more than just an ancient prophecy.
A decision…
Cloaked by the night sky, she’s taken against her will by a rude and irritatingly handsome stranger. He pushes her boundaries and incites fury like no other. She plans to fight him every step of the way, until she discovers a life-changing betrayal by her own flesh and blood. Her captor promises answers to the powers that lie dormant, but she questions his motives.
Shadows unveiled…
She soon discovers she’s not only in a race against time, but her presence also seems to bring division no matter where she finds herself. While she holds the future of Vendrelle at her fingertips, something darker follows her. Enigmatic forces are at play while visions pull her into a hollow space where the line of truth is blurred.
Time is of the essence.
Will she be able to make sense of it all and hone her gifts before time runs out, or will shattering truths cleave the land?
This is an adult dark fantasy romance novel that contains graphic violence, gore, dark themes, and open door intimacy.

"Pages & Grapes is such a bright place to visit. The books selection is vast, even considering it’s romance-only. They also sell an abundance of fun wines and popular ciders. Most favorable of all, I think, is how Pages & Grapes participates in the community. From hosting book clubs with Michigan authors, to fun, unique events, etc. I’m so glad I live walking distance away! Thank you Heather and James!"

"Let’s talk about this absolutely amazing book store. First of all: supporting local with my book addiction is my absolute favorite thing in the world. All though this store is small, it is MIGHTY! I am an avid dark romance reader and it’s been so hard to find the books I want! Barnes and nobles, target and Walmart are too scared to sell the books I read… NOT Pages & Grapes. They have such a wide selection and variety for all readers! Anything from young adult, to dark spicy, romance, thrillers and even an LGBTQ+ section! The environment is so comfortable and fun to be in. The lady that runs this store has been absolutely lovely to converse and work with! I’ve now introduced and shown my book friends this store and we will simply never go back to big chain stores for our books. I can’t wait for the upcoming events that will be hosted while watching and enjoying this stores growth!"

"Grand Rapids' first romance-only bookstore is a hit! They have great selection in every genre and the staff was super nice. They have all sorts of goodies to go with your book reading, from themed candles to tea. I do wish there were more bookshelves (currently only on outside of room) but I'm sure it'll grow. They also had a lot of second or third books in a series but not first. I also went on opening day so I'm assuming shelves might have been sparse due to the large amount of customers that came in. Awesome spot and great crowd. Recommend if you're a romance lover of any capacity--fantasy, contemporary, LGBTQ+, and more!!"

"A rom-com novel + a bottle of wine = an HEA evening for me (: I dropped by P&G to purchase a copy of Lucy Score's recent release. The last copy sold today, but the owner was working to get more shipped to the store. I asked whether the books would be in before April 7th, as I'd be leaving town that day. She turned away from the desk, pulled a book from the reserved shelf, and sold it to me. It was her signed copy?!! She said she could get another one. Best. Customer service. EVER. Thank you Heather"

"I had been DYING to come here since they opened and I was not disappointed! I went on Indie Bookstore Day, and they had ALL the spice and all the accompaniments to go with them. Also, the store itself is soooooo pretty and unique! I was also able to grab my first Non-Empyrean Rebecca Yarros books! Almost an entire set! (I didn’t notice book 1 was missing until later lol). And I got a blind book with my purchase and omg, it looks like a cute read that is RIGHT up my alley. Cannot wait to get to it. Staff was SPECTACULAR even with it being so late in a hectic day. They were on top of it."

"You are not evil," he whispered. "You are not death. You are... Mercy."
Twenty-three-year-old Seraphina Wildrick's first mission as a Keeper of the Artifacts ended when she found a priceless relic that awakens the magic of death in her veins. There are no records of that darkness in her coven's archives, and revealing the foreign magic to the elders would be sure death. So Sera locks it up... until she can't any longer.
On her sister's trial day, Sera's darkness escapes, opening a doorway to the underworld. When the coven's greatest enemy kidnaps her sister, Sera is thrust into a mission to save her-accompanied by Alistair, the childhood crush who never returned her feelings. But from the moment they set foot outside the Citadel walls, a more insidious beast watches. A demon lord, the only other being she's encountered with the same dark magic she wields, offers to help her-for a price.
Tangled in a love triangle between the warlock she's longed for her entire life and the demon of her destiny, Sera must learn to control her magic and find the doorways to the underworld or risk losing her beloved sister-the only family who understands her.
In this high-stakes new epic fantasy series by debut author G.V. Hext, you'll find deadly magic, fated love, and a witch who won't stop until she burns the world to save what's hers. Perfect for fans of Throne of Glass, Anathema, and The Foxglove King.
