Wooing the witch queen / by Burgis, Stephanie,author.;
"Queen Saskia is the wicked sorceress everyone fears. After successfully wrestling the throne from her evil uncle, she only wants one thing: to keep her people safe from the empire next door. For that, she needs to spend more time in her laboratory experimenting with her spells. She definitely doesn't have time to bring order to her chaotic library of magic. When a mysterious dark wizard arrives at her castle, Saskia hires him as her new librarian on the spot. "Fabian" is sweet and a little nerdy, and his requests seem a little strange - what in the name of Divine Elva is a fountain pen? - but he's getting the job done. And if he writes her flirtatious poetry and his innocent touch makes her skin singe, well ... Little does Saskia know that the "wizard" she's falling for is actually an Imperial archduke in disguise, with no magical training whatsoever. On the run, with perilous secrets on his trail and a fast growing yearning for the wicked sorceress, he's in danger from her enemies and her newfound allies, too. When his identity is finally revealed, will their love save or doom each other?"--

My beloved / by Karon, Jan,1937-author.;
"When Father Tim's wife, Cynthia, asks what he wants for Christmas, he pens the answer in a love letter that bares his most private feelings. Then the letter goes missing and circulates among his astonished neighbors. So much for private. Can a letter change a life? Ask Helene, the piano teacher who has avoided her feelings for a lifetime. Ask Hope, the village bookseller who desperately needs something that's impossibly out of reach. Or, if you'd like to know how a brush with death can be the portal to a happy marriage, Cynthia will tell you all about it. In My Beloved, Harley gets an important letter of his own; a broken heart teaches the Old Mayor, Esther Cunningham, a lesson long in coming; and thanks to Lace and Dooley, readers get what they've been waiting for: Sadie. Poignant, hilarious, and life-affirming, My Beloved sets a generous table for millions of readers who love these characters like family. With Karon's signature humanity shining through on every page, this is a season of life in Mitford you won't want to miss"--

A song of ash and moonlight / by Legrand, Claire,1986-author.;
"The Ashbournes' war with the Bask family is over. Kilraith's curse has been broken. But Lord Gideon Ashbourne doesn't want peace; he wants revenge. And the only thing standing in his way is his eldest daughter: the unflappable, tireless Farrin. But Farrin's composure masks a seething sorrow. Since her mother abandoned the family, Farrin's been their rock-managing her father's temper, running the estate, looking after her sisters. She isolates herself from anything that could distract or hurt her: pleasure, her own musical power, and, most of all, love. Enter Ryder Bask. In Ryder, an enemy turned reluctant ally, Farrin's stubborn strength has met its match. The man infuriates her. He's coarse, arrogant, stupidly handsome. He oozes sex, while Farrin can't bear the sight of her own naked body, and he brims with some secret anger that mirrors Farrin's own frustrated rage. Unfortunately, Farrin must work with every ally she can. The Middlemist is weakening, allowing passage between Edyn and the Old Country that throws both realms into chaos. Anointed magicians are disappearing in strings of violent abductions. A fiery Olden creature is stalking Farrin. Meanwhile, debilitating visions plague the High Queen Yvaine, and horrifying rumors tear across the world: the gods are not dead. They're waking up. And someone is hunting them. As Farrin and Ryder race to find stolen loved ones and stop Kilraith's demented machinations, an earth-shattering passion erupts between them, breaking down Farrin's protective barriers at last and allowing her to be wholly, unabashedly, herself"--

Assistant to the villain / by Maehrer, Hannah Nicole,author.;
"With ailing family to support, Evie Sage's employment status isn't just important -- it's vital. So when a mishap with Rennedawn's most infamous Villain results in a job offer, naturally she says yes. No job is perfect, of course, but even less so when you develop a teeny crush on your terrifying, temperamental, and undeniably hot boss ... But just when she's getting used to severed heads suspended from the ceiling and the odd squish of an errant eyeball beneath her heel, Evie suspects this dungeon has a huge rat"--

A dragon of black glass / by Rollins, James,1961-author.;
"With the apocalyptic threat of moonfall looming ever closer, Nyx and her allies must venture into the eternally sunblasted lands to search for an ancient weapon buried untold millennia ago. All the while, enemies close upon her flanks, and a greater danger lurks ahead. For beneath a desert turned to glass, hidden from the scorching heat, life thrives--both wondrous and monstrous. But a more fearsome menace lies even deeper, where an ancient army has been seeded to protect a secret from any who dare seek it out. Yet, can Nyx truly trust those at her side? Or even herself? For while her gifts grow ever stronger, so does the danger of losing herself to a dark madness. Worst yet, the same afflicts Bashaliia, her winged and bonded brother"--

Accomplice to the villain / by Maehrer, Hannah Nicole,author.;
"Evie Sage didn't mean to become the right-hand woman to the kingdom's most terrifying villain. One minute, she was applying for an entry-level position that promised 'light paperwork and occasional beheadings,' and the next, she was knee-deep in magical mayhem, murder plots, and an entirely inappropriate crush on her brooding, sharp-jawed, walking disaster of a boss. Now, with a magical prophecy unraveling, assassins showing up in the break room, and a suspicious amount of frogs wearing crowns, Evie has to figure out how to survive her job without setting the kingdom on fire-or her dignity, which is hanging by a very sarcastic thread. Being evil-adjacent was never part of the five-year plan. But then again-neither was falling for The Villain"--
