He’s a superstar on the run. She’s a hidden talent with a shattered past. In Sweetlove, their colliding worlds might just create the perfect harmony.

Gia Krane was once the next big thing in music until betrayal shattered her trust, and a corrupt label left her career in ruins. Now, she’s just a bartender with a guitar, playing small gigs and guarding her heart behind sharp wit and high walls. Music still lives in her bones, but the spotlight? She walked away from that life years ago.

Country music superstar Wyatt Cade has everything: fame, fortune, and a wildly successful indie label. But after the tragic death of his best friend on tour, the music that once saved him has gone silent. Seeking inspiration and solitude, he escapes to the quiet town of Sweetlove Mountain, hoping to find peace…and maybe himself.

What he finds instead is her.

When the bark definitely IS worse than the bite

A deadly hex is turning my newspaper colleagues’ skin to bark—and it’s up to me to find the magical killer before they strike again.

I thought moving to Ravens Hollow would be simple. One month into my new supernatural life, I figured my biggest challenges would be housebreaking my oversized puppy and writing fluff pieces for the local paper.

Then dark magic hits The Oracle, pulling me straight into an investigation tangled with vindictive sea witches, feuding werewolf packs, and ancient tree sprite magic even the coven can’t crack.

Now I’m chasing clues with Police Chief Whip—an immortal siren cursed with secrets—and Alex, a too-charming lion shifter who knows how to get under my skin. But in a town where everyone hides something and magic always comes at a price, finding the truth could cost me more than I’m ready to lose.

And the vampire trafficking ring that turned me? They haven’t forgotten about me either.

A paranormal cozy mystery featuring a vampire journalist, small-town supernatural politics, magical mayhem, and a slow-burn romance that defies nature itself.

Ravens Hollow Investigations Series:
Bylines and Bloodsuckers – Prequel
Fangs and Front Pages – Book 1
Hexes and Headlines – Book 2

Lover of all things magical, mysterious, and mildly chaotic, Ella Stone writes fast-paced urban fantasy with a generous pinch of paranormal drama, a splash of slow-burn romance, and enough supernatural shenanigans to keep your heart pounding and your tea cold.

When not plotting vampire betrayals or helping werewolves find some clothes (and occasionally their dignity), she’s usually curled up with a book, surrounded by cats who believe they own the place—and, frankly, they do.

Her books include the Dark Creatures saga, the Bloodsucker’s Blog trilogy, the Witchlight Magical Mysteries (co-written with the brilliant Heather G. Harris), and the brand new Ravens Hollow Investigations—a series full of magical crimes, dangerous alliances, and secrets that refuse to stay buried.

Expect charm, danger, and just enough mayhem to make things interesting. Welcome to her world. It’s weird, it’s wicked, and you’re going to love it here.

I came to VMR to find my best friend. She walked into this billion-dollar media empire and vanished without a trace. No calls. No messages. Just… gone.

So when a job opens up, I take it. I need answers, and the only way to get them is from the inside.

That’s when I meet him.

Lucian Vale. CEO. Enigma. Predator in a perfectly tailored suit.

From the moment his cold gaze locks onto mine, I know he’s not just a man. There’s something ancient in the way he moves, something deadly in the way he watches me. And when he offers me the job as his personal assistant, I know I should run.

But I don’t.

The pull between us is inescapable—dark, primal, and all-consuming. He wants me, but he knows what happened to my friend. I just have to find her before I’m in too deep.

Because in his world, love is a deadly thing. And if I’m not careful, it just might cost me everything.

A Love So Deadly is Part One of the Kiss of Darkness Duet. A shortened version was previously published in the Sinners & Stardust 2025 Anthology, but the story has been expanded for its re-release.

Some secrets are buried deep. On Sea Smoke Island, digging them up could cost you everything…including your heart.

Heather McPhee swore she’d keep her distance from Sea Smoke Island—she escaped the reputation of the “messy McPhees” and intended to keep it that way. But when her best friend and podcast co-host vanishes after uncovering a bombshell story on the remote Maine island, Heather has no choice but to go back.

Luke Carmichael also thought he left the drama of his powerful family behind. Banished from their elite resort and raising his daughter on his own, the island constable prefers a quiet life. Until Heather storms back into town, stirring up old ghosts.

As they investigate Gabby’s disappearance, Heather and Luke uncover a generations-old conspiracy tied to the elite Carmichael resort, one someone will kill to protect. And as sparks fly between the messy McPhee and the renegade Carmichael, they’ll have to decide what’s worth risking—the truth, their lives… or their hearts.

Because on Sea Smoke Island, some secrets refuse to stay buried. And the truth always comes to light.

He broke my heart before he even knew it belonged to him.

Zack Ryan was always the one.
The one I couldn’t have.
The one who never looked at me the way I looked at him.

When he asked me to be the drummer in his band, I said yes—because it meant staying close, even when I was firmly in the friend zone. For years, I stood behind him on stage, keeping the rhythm while my heart beat only for him.

But the better our band becomes, the harder it is to pretend.
One night changes everything.
One night, he finally sees me.
And the next morning, he breaks me.

Now, nothing feels certain—except the music and the heartbreak that won’t let me go.
I thought loving him would be enough.

I never expected it to shake me to my core
before it ruined me.

SHAKE ME is for fans of emotional rockstar romance, raw, relatable heroines, and the bad boys they can’t let go .
