Romance of The Year- Bookstagram Awards 2025

In a world of predators, she was always the deadliest.

Some love you. Some destroy you. Some do both.

Monsters don’t hide under the bed. Sometimes, they lie in your arms.

Some monsters are born. Others are made.
Caroline Landers has always known the darkness lived inside her. Not hidden. Not controlled. Simply waiting for the right moment to be unleashed.
That moment came the night she crossed paths with Samuel Corby—a man who stalked her from the shadows, only to awaken a hunger in her that even she couldn’t tame.
Samuel is everything the world warns you about: obsessive, lethal, untouchable. But the most dangerous thing about him isn't what he does—it's how deeply he loves her. How completely he sees her for what she truly is... and still demands she belongs to him.
When a sadistic new enemy rises from the wreckage of her past, threatening everything Caroline has fought to protect, she doesn’t break. She doesn’t run. She does what monsters do best.
She hunts.
As secrets unravel, betrayals ignite, and another shadow steps forward—one who has loved her from the dark all along—Caroline must face the brutal truth:
She was never the prey.
She was always the predator.
And sometimes... you don't have to choose between your monsters at all.
You can have them both—and let the world burn.

An emotional MM romance of protective love, quiet strength, and the healing power of trust.

Darren Quinn, a seasoned professional and manager of an elite haven for the overburdened, finds his boundaries crumbling when newly divorced Miles Bennet walks through his door.

Miles isn’t just another client; he’s a man drowning in guilt, seeking healing in surrender. But as Darren provides the steady hand and protective care Miles needs, their connection deepens into something neither expected. When Miles’s vulnerability collides with Darren’s overwhelming desire, lines blur—until a single kiss shatters every professional rule.

Now, Darren must decide if his career is worth more than the man who has finally made his house feel like a home. Can he set aside his professional mask for a truth he can no longer deny: that Miles isn't just seeking his command, he’s seeking a place to finally belong? A steamy, MM hurt comfort romance about healing, trust, and the courage to let go—both in the sanctuary and in love. HEA/HFN.

The quiet, earnest vulnerability of Heated Rivalry meets the profound healing and protective authority of a Nora Phoenix hero in this deeply emotional, high-heat romance where a man must break every rule and yield to his deepest desires just to heal the man he can’t live without.

Heat level: 5

1365 A.D. - After the Earl of Sandbourne banishes his supposedly unfaithful wife to a convent, his young son Michael swears never to set foot on the family’s estate until after his father’s death. Michael will then claim his title as the new earl and restore his beloved mother to a place of honor. 

Fifteen years pass, and the now-knighted Sir Michael Devereux serves Lord Geoffrey de Montfort at Kinwick Castle. He accompanies the nobleman and his family to a wedding, where Michael unknowingly falls in love with the bride before he even knows her identity.

Lady Elysande Le Cler is angry that her usually indulgent father went against her wishes and betrothed her to a stranger prior to his death. Now as her wedding day approaches, dread fills her—until she meets a dashing stranger who helps her deliver a foal. Elysande loses her heart to this knight, frustrated that they can never be together.

Join Michael and Elysande as they find fate has other plans in store for them.

She’s a witch. He hunts killers.
Solving murders is just the foreplay.
Maggie Maxwell didn’t mean to become the town’s newest scandal.

But moving into her dead uncle’s haunted manor came with more than creaky headboards—it came with murders. Multiple. Right in her backyard.

And a six-foot-four officer, built like a wall of muscle and her filthiest desires, babysitting her like she’s breakable. He’s brooding, bossy, and overprotective—and Maggie? She’s sworn off quick flings. Especially since her love spell has a new side effect: obsessive, zombie-like exes who abandon their families just to worship the ground she walks on.

Oops.

Life for Officer Graham Locke was simple. Thought he’d buried his past. But the new girl in town is the kind of trouble that unearths everything. Protecting her was supposed to be his job—not his kink. And all those years he’d spent denying the unexplainable? Yeah, they were for nothing.

Now it’s one supernatural nightmare after another.

But all he really wants—besides her—is a drink and maybe a slice of pie.

Blurb

Goddammit, she's MINE!
This manhunt across the country is going to end in one way.
With her in my possession, and anyone who gets in my way, beneath the fucking dirt!

Nadia

Dad raised me to be a hard ass and that trait didn't dissolve when I moved out of his house. In fact, when I finally got my 'big girl' job at the prison it got worse. I have been observing Kace for a year now. Once he jumped on my radar, he fucked up. I make his life hell, little did I know my own was about to railroad me.

Kace

I fucked up one damn time and got thrown into this prison. Judge took one look at me, with the governor whispering in his ear, and threw away the fucking key. No second chances, nothing. It took a few years, and unlikely friendships but my prison life turned around. Now though? I have a bitch of a guard on my ass. Slowly ruining what life I have left.

Lucien

She doesn't know me, but I know her. I have known her all of my life-- watching her from afar. When I got sent to the prison she is a guard at, I snapped when I found out she was being a fucking whore for one of the inmates. She is mine and I will fucking kill anyone who lays a hand on her.
