Spotlight: The Delivery by Gregg Hurwitz

From the New York Times bestselling author of the Orphan X series comes a tense novella, a psychological thriller about an AI companion that will do anything to serve―with terrifying consequences.

Rebecca and Mark Higgins are doing their best to hold their family together. She’s healing from the pain of a miscarriage, he’s drowning in pressure at work, and their neurodivergent daughter, Maddy, needs all the care she can get. So when a cutting-edge tech company offers the perfect solution, they jump at the chance. And they welcome “Mr. Man”―a humanoid AI companion―into their home.

Designed to anticipate their needs, he’s like a miracle at first. The house runs like clockwork. Meals appear on the table. And Maddy thrives under his patient attention. But when inexplicable tragedies start to strike the neighborhood, Rebecca glimpses a darker pattern at play.

Each incident is an answer to an unspoken fear, each kindness shadowed by violence. Mr. Man isn’t just following instructions―he’s anticipating what they want. Even the things they never dared to say. And if he’s executing their darkest desires, it’s their responsibility to stop him…at any cost.

Spotlight: Sketch by Ros Hill

What happens when the world’s newest superhero is also its last hope?

On a study trip to Egypt, art student Charles meets Heba, a street peddler guarding an ancient secret: magic ink that can transform imagination into reality. When Charles returns home and sketches his own superhero, he doesn’t just finish a drawing. He brings it to life.

Too bad Sketch’s first day on the job is a disaster. His grand attempt at flight ends in a four-foot face-plant, his strength sputters in and out, and even the cops chasing him are more annoyed than afraid. As Sketch fumbles his way through powers he can’t fully control and emotions he’s never felt before, he starts to learn what it really means to be human…and a hero.

Then the Finger Gunman appears, a ruthless villain determined to steal the magic ink and use it to unleash an army of superpowered criminals. To stop him, Sketch must travel to Egypt, find Heba, and reclaim his abilities—before the Finger Gunman becomes his final mistake.

Meet Danielle M. Haas

Danielle grew up with a love of reading, partly due to her namesake – Danielle Steele. It seemed as though she was born to put pen to paper and write out the same love stories she devoured while growing up.

She attended Bowling Green State University with a dream of studying creative writing, but the thought of sharing her work in front of a group of strangers was enough to make her change her major…seven times. After a semester studying abroad in Spain, Danielle’s eyes were opened to a new love of travel, as well as a passion for studying Political Science.

After college, she moved across the state of Ohio with her soon-to-be husband. Once they married and had babies, she decided to stay home and raise her children. Her young daughter and son, along with her fur babies and husband, are the loves of her life, but some days her sanity slipped further across the line to crazy town. She decided to open up her laptop and brush off her rusty writing chops and see what happened.

What happened was rediscovering her passion for writing. Danielle now spends her days running kids around, playing with her Shar-Pei/Pit Bull love bug, and typing as fast as she can to get the stories in her head written down. She loves to write contemporary romances with relatable characters that make her readers’ hearts happy, as well as fast-paced romantic suspense that leaves them on the edge of their seats. Her story ideas are as varied and unpredictable as her everyday life.

When she isn’t writing, Danielle is daydreaming about her next travel adventure. Whether across the state, country, or world, she loves to go where ever she’s lucky enough to escape to for a brief moment of time. Luckily, her family has the same passion for adventure and they can gallop across the world together.

To learn more about Danielle, please follow her blog or connect with her on social media. She always has a new story to tell or an all-too-relatable mom moment to share.

Spotlight: The King's List by Jade Presley

They said the trials were over.
They were wrong.

I survived the Choosing. I claimed my mates. I became immortal. But the kings weren’t finished with us yet.

Four princes. Four thrones. And a final season designed to decide if we’re worthy to rule. Every task is a test. Every smile is a lie. The people judge. The council votes. And the kings are waiting for us to fail.

I was never meant to be queen. I was an Ashlander who broke into a palace searching for her sister. Now I stand beside the Legends of Chaos, holding power the kingdom fears and love fierce enough to burn it all down.

To win the crowns, we’ll have to survive the Kings’ List.

Failure isn’t an option.

Because this time, we’re not just fighting for the throne—we’re fighting for each other.

Spotlight: The Raven at the Ash Door by K.A. Linde

Can love survive an unbreakable curse?

Kierse McKenna’s magic is bound to a man she hates—one who has spent lifetimes fighting the man she loves.

To end this binding, Graves—her winter god, her monster—will stop at nothing. He discovers that the only hope of freeing Kierse is to locate a stone relic of legend, rumored to lift any curse.

The only problem? The stone has been missing for a century.

And the Oak King is on their trail.

Now Kierse is trapped at the heart of a centuries-long battle while the rest of the world comes unraveled. The Fae Killer is hunting. The peace with monsters is fracturing. And as the very rules of their myth start to shift, escaping the Oak King’s hold may demand more than stolen artifacts and clever heists.

For Kierse and Graves, it may mean risking the only thing they have left to lose.

But the battle for Kierse’s heart—and the fate of the Oak and Holly kings—doesn't end here. The Oak & Holly Cycle will continue in Books 4 and 5.

Spotlight: Marriage of Sin by Kristen Luciani

Release Date: June 26

AVAILABLE IN KINDLE UNLIMITED

My arranged husband is younger, relentless, and absolutely certain I belong to him. The worst part? He might be right.

Adriana
At forty, I've built my own empire. I answer to no one. I don't do love, vulnerability, or men who think they can handle me.

But after an attempt on my father's life, I'm forced to take over his world - the one I spent my whole life escaping.

The price of my family's survival? An arranged marriage to Lochlan Molloy, the son of a rival crime boss.

He's twelve years younger. Cocky. Infuriating. Looks at me like I'm the only woman in any room.

I've spent my whole life keeping people out. Keeping myself cold and my heart protected.

I told myself this was just a contract. I told myself I wouldn't fall.

I should have known better than to trust a Molloy.

Lochlan
She thinks she's made of ice. She's wrong.

I see the fire underneath. The way she looks at me when she thinks I'm not watching. The way she melts when I touch her, even as she's pushing me away.

I'll break down every wall. I'll burn the world for her. I'll make her mine in every way that matters.

But I'm keeping a secret that could shatter everything.

And when she finds out I've been lying to her from the start?

Let her hate me. I’ll spend the rest of my life earning her back.
