I have a new release this week as well!
Here’s the weekly post from my author blog on the new releases I found to be of interest in my three favorite romance genres (which are also the ones I write in!), and related areas such as time travel, steampunk, paranormal cozy romances and more. I do sometimes cover other releases of note in science fiction and fantasy.
As always, I recommend sampling before you buy! I have not read most of the new releases listed (although I always end up one-clicking a bunch as I prepare these posts). I don’t pick up every single new release each week but try to provide a representative subset and lots of choices.
Here’s a teaser for this week’s first two books (jump to the blog to see the approximately 84+ titles featured this week):
HAINN: A BADARI WARRIORS SCIFI ROMANCE NOVEL (SECTORS NEW ALLIES SERIES BOOK 19) by Veronica Scott
Jezari had a nearly fatal ordeal at the hands of enemy alien scientists. Rescued, she’s had a tough road to recovery and now a year later she’s at loose ends, impulsive and unhappy so she seeks out a dangerous pastime exploring hidden secrets at the bottom of Sanctuary Valley’s lake. What she finds shakes her to her core.
Hainn, the South Seas pack healer was called in to take over Jezari’s treatment after an unfortunate incident with her first healer. He found her frustrating and annoying but over time his admiration for the determined survivor grew. Now she’s been released he’d like to get to know her outside the hospital but she still sees him as her much disliked healer. Add to that a certain reputation he’s acquired in the valley as one of the few Badari Warriors who can do casual dating and Jezari wants nothing to do with him.
Invited to join Hainn and other Badari Warriors on a rare excursion to the perilous sea mount where the waves top 100’, Jezari opens herself up to new experiences and to Hainn. But their budding romance suffers a setback when an unexpected development impacts Jezari as nothing else ever has.
Returning to a valley in trouble as their power and protection source falters, leaving them open to attack by the enemy Khagrish, can these two work together to solve the problem, reveal the secrets the lake hides and claim each other as mates before it’s too late?
SURRENDERING HER HEART (RED PLANET FATED MATES BOOK 10) by Miranda Martin
I’ve spent my life proving I can survive anything. Scarred by the rebellion that claimed my father, I trust no one but myself. With the ruthless Order closing in, I must help my people to safety across the unforgiving alien desert landscape—or risk losing everything. Kael, the Zmaj warrior assigned to protect us, lives by instinct and honor. He views our struggles with skepticism—until he meets me. Fierce, stubborn, and unyielding, I challenge his every expectation. But I keep him at arm’s length. My heart has been guarded by walls as unyielding as the sun-scorched dunes of Tajss for far too long.
When danger forces us to work together, every step becomes a battle—against the Order, against this hostile planet, and against the undeniable pull between us. Kael’s strength is undeniable, but trusting him could shatter the resolve I’ve spent years building. As the Order’s forces threaten to annihilate us, I must decide: Can I let down my guard and trust the dragon alien warrior who challenges me at every turn? Or will my need for independence doom us all? On a planet where survival is the only law, love might be the most dangerous risk of all.
