Lights Camera Love

Natalie Murray

A sizzling grumpy-meets-sunshine romance that explores the notions of belonging, trust, hope, and finding the kind of love that you never imagined you could have, from the author of Love, Just In.

Hip-hop dance teacher Evie Scott lands the opportunity of a lifetime when she's cast in a blockbuster movie opposite her teenage crush, Hollywood heartthrob Austin Reynolds. The role promises financial stability, which she desperately craves now that her spendthrift mother has moved in, and maybe even a shot at true love. But the person Evie can't stop thinking about isn't Austin—it's his grumpy, sharp-tongued manager, Kye Evans.

A gifted dancer who grew up in foster care, Kye owes everything to Austin and his family. Now a skilled manager and publicist, he's spent years cleaning up Austin's messes, but it's his own past he'd rather keep buried. And the last thing he needs is a distraction like Evie.

As Evie and Kye dance their way through the chaos of an eccentric director who's seemingly determined to make the world's worst-ever movie, their chemistry ignites on and off the stage. Through late-night rehearsals and flirtatious dance moves, Evie and Kye's connection blossoms. But as old wounds threaten to reopen, they must decide if they're brave enough to face their fears and embrace the life-changing love they never saw coming.

'A heart-warming, slow-burn romance full of banter, chemistry and off-screen surprises. You'll fall hard for Evie and the grump she never saw coming.' LAUREN JACKSON, author of Break the Rules

'Natalie Murray at her sizzling best! Lights, Camera, Love swept me away from the first page.' EMMA GREY, author of Pictures of You

Immortal Crowns

J.D. Netto

Five thousand years ago, when mortals were a mere thought in the mind of their creator, Lucifer was cast out of the immortal realm of Valleyner, doomed to spend his days in the Dark Beyond. After Hanell the Creator, known as the Pale Lion, fashioned the mortal world of Thelsten, a secret concealed from mortals brought on grave consequences. In the remote village of Heedeon, Bellwound Throvar and Arnon Helvug are visited by immortals from both shadow and light. A weapon known as the Mezar is found, believed to house the Luciferian Epistle written before he, the Dove, suffered judgement by the Regents—gods of ultimate power and parents to Hanell the Creator. The two boys set out on a journey with a member of the Nephilim, hoping to find answers to their mysterious past. But secrets and lies do not ask for the right time to strike. A dark tale spreads: whispers that the Dove was expelled by the Pale Lion not because of rebellion, but because of their love for one another. While struggling to confess his true feelings for Arnon, Bellwound realizes that love won't be enough to save them from their own doom—not when it's caused by love itself. As they travel across forests, deserts, and seas, they discover that the ploy of the gods will not only change their own world but will also claim lives, crowns, and kingdoms...
