At 55, human Ella Conlan thought her life was completely ordinary, maybe even a little dull, except for having RH-null blood. But she hadn't counted on being the center of a Blood War between two warring factions of vampires. Nor had she counted on being the mate of not one but two handsome vampires.

Now all those two have to do is - stop her from being killed, rescue her, convince her to donate her blood, and then finally get her to accept that she is destined to spend eternity with the two of them.

Easy?

A short insta-love novella.

Book cover - Blood War. Shows 2 men with a woman holding the face of one man about to kiss him. Quote from book: “Give me the woman, Jarek!” Slavik, voice filled with anger and malice, added, “I’ll fuckin’ kill you all!” Ella stretched her empty, shaking hand and picked up the wall telephone close to the door. “The police! I need the police.” “And what will you tell them, Ella? How do you think they’ll act when you say a man just walked through the closed door or another tore out the heart of someone who disintegrated into dust?” She looked devastated as she realized the truth of his words. “Anyway, they’re probably already on their way from all the noise Slavik’s making.” Ella stilled. They could see from the look on her face that she understood what would happen if she rang. She dropped the phone to the ground as she came to the realization no one could come to save her. .."

Every month, we do this cool thing on QueeRomanceInk.com to support indie writers. We share 4 of their books with our readers for free, and then add those readers (with permission) to the author lists. It's a great way to get some new reads, "meet" a few up and coming authors, and forge new connections. :)

This month's books are below. Grab 'em here (we send them out around the 3rd of next month):

May the Fourth is also my latest book's birthday 🎉

Domesticated Magic is a romantic fantasy towards the cosy end of the spectrum, with The Feels, and a grumpy-sunshine-type m/m pairing.

Mateo and his family fled when their people turned to sorcery. Mateo’s own magic is tame but it’s still banned in their new home...yet they use it every day. But the sorcery seems to have followed them. They already lost their world once. Mateo can’t let them lose again.

Animated version of the cover of Domesticated Magic. The cover, blue border (half Greek-style tiles, half Viking-style runes), title and author name are split in two by a black lightning bolt. On one side is the outline of a bull's face made of curly floral-like lines. It glides in from the left, wearing a rather insouciant expression as it stares at the viewer. A green butterfly perches on one horn, gently pulses. It stands out against the cream background, black lines, and blue border and text. On the other side of the cataclysmic split is the helm of awe, a snake-like dragon biting its own tail to form a circle around magic runes. The dragon rolls in from the right to stare at the bull, and does not look impressed.

So, it's 🧜‍♀️

Watermyth* is the first book of a domestic fantasy epic with WOC mermaids and watermaidens. None of my main characters are below 30, and range in age between the 30s-50s. If you were looking for mermaid fiction that covers older ages, has unforced diversity by an author , maybe give a try?

I just read a romance and I kept thinking it felt a little like fan fiction (no shade, I enjoy) but I couldn’t pick the fandom — until I checked GoodReads and ohhhh, it’s Roy Kent.

He’s here! He's there! He's every-f*cking-where!

(I even thought one of the side characters (not a coach) was a bit like Ted Lasso and *still* didn’t pick the grumpy hairy ex-footballer lead as Roy Kent!)
