Debut author Amara Bliss release party: Underworld Vows
Every action has a consequence.
Every bond carries weight.
Mia's mistake has awakened powers that will reshape both god and mortal realms.
When her brother's life slips beyond the reach of medicine, Mia Petrakis turns to the only power left: the divine. An ancient ritual book passed down through her family whispers of a way to reach the gods. One desperate invocation drags her into the Underworld.
But the ritual goes wrong.
Instead of summoning Hades, Mia binds the King of the Underworld to her soul, stitching their fates together with silver threads neither can break. Furious, intrigued, and bound by laws older than Olympus, Hades agrees to grant her plea... but the cost may be more than either was ready to pay.
Now a god walks the mortal world in her shadow, and every step tightens the bond between them. Every heartbeat pulls them closer. Every secret threatens to unravel the fragile line between salvation and ruin.
To save her family, Mia must face the truth: Some vows are forged in desperation. Others are written in destiny. And the most dangerous are the ones forged under fire.
Underworld Vows is the first book in a Greek mythology-inspired fantasy romance series featuring a slow-burn mortal/god romance, accidental soul bond, forced proximity, found family, and high-stakes supernatural conflict.

Debut Release Party for author Decay B!!
Decay B. is a cancer-surviving, AuDHD Michigander and wife, and mother to three. She coexists with a dog and an axolotl. When she's not working on her next project, you can find her in her craft room amongst her full bookcases and stupidly expensive hobbies.
About the book:
My name is Lyric… and I’m dead.
After escaping an abusive relationship, I thought the worst was finally behind me. Instead, I am trapped in the In-Between, a strange place between life and death, with no memory of how I got here.
The only person willing to help me is Atticus—an obsessive, possessive man with secrets as dangerous as my own. He promises to help me find peace and finally go home, but every answer uncovers a darker truth about my death.
To escape the In-Between, I have to confront the people who shattered my life, uncover what really happened to me, and decide just how much of my humanity I’m willing to sacrifice for revenge.
The closer I get to the truth, the more impossible it becomes to leave Atticus behind.
And if Atticus gets what he wants…
I never will.

Book 2 in the series
Blurb:
Freedom came at too high a price.
When the spell to prove her innocence backfires, Adrianna wakes up in the hospital and is forced to face the truth that her mother is dead.
She’d gained liberation from the Rousseaus; yet, even that feels fleeting. Broderick Dietrich is protecting her, but how long can that last?
Revenge is on the horizon.
A summons arrives from the vampire Blood Consul. Adrianna and Broderick are on trial for murder. There’s a strong chance that the Rousseaus will try to reclaim custody of Adrianna.
If they succeed, she’s positive they will retaliate.
Unlikely allies intervene.
Adrianna’s already proven she’ll do almost anything for freedom. When new allies enter the fray, will she forgo her relationship with Broderick or stay true to him in the end?

R. K. Harrington - author signing
One bookish debutante. Two dashing suitors. And a season full of scandal.
Lady Alaina Sinclair never expected London society to be so treacherous-or so tempting. She has always preferred books to ballrooms, but with a disastrous start to her first season, she's determined to rewrite her fate. With her heart set on the respectable-and very eligible-Duke of Ashford, Alaina is ready to embrace society's expectations... even if it means silencing her true desires.
Alaina's world is set awry by Christopher Kendall, the Marquess of Rochester-sharp-tongued, maddeningly handsome, and inconveniently, the duke's closest friend. Their first encounter is a disaster. Their next, a temptation. And every moment together after that, increasingly impossible to ignore. But with a web of secrets, jealous relatives, and mysterious threats unraveling around her, it soon becomes clear: this is no ordinary season.
Kindred Schemes is a modern take on a regency romance with glamour, a steamy love triangle, and enough mystery to keep readers turning the page.

C.L. Blossom Release Party
Cherry Season
Coming June 2026
When twenty-five-year-old Ashton Tremblay steps up to run Tremblay Orchards after his father’s sudden heart attack, he expects long days and sore muscles—not the attention of the town’s newest enigmatic entrepreneur.
Troy Fischer, the tattooed owner of Black Cat Brewery, approaches Ashton with a proposal: partner up to create a hard cherry cider that celebrates both their crafts. But beneath Troy’s easy confidence and flirtatious charm, Ashton suspects there’s more than business behind the offer.
What starts as a professional partnership soon blurs into late nights at the brewery, the air thick with the scent of cherries and something impossible to ignore. As Ashton learns to navigate the pressures of family legacy, Troy must decide if he’s willing to let go of his bitter past and chase after something sweet.
This summer, passion is brewing—bold, bubbling, and dangerously intoxicating.
