This month, we’ve got stories about measuring the courage of one’s convictions, about gay wizards and vampires in a reimagined Gilded Age NYC that doesn't discriminate against same-sex couples, and about what you’re willing to risk for love.
The Same Noble Line by Melanie Rachel
Upon meeting Mr. Bennet at the Netherfield Ball, Darcy wonders if he might be his father's long-lost twin brother who was stolen from the family at birth. If he is that brother, Mr. Bennet would in fact be the rightful owner of Pemberley.
Darcy can't live with himself if he didn't investigate, so he returns to Longhorn to search for clues. In the meantime, his feelings for Elizabeth come back to the fore. But he's torn between duty, honour, and love—and any option he chooses means he'll lose something.
Also, there's an ode to roast beef. (Yes, seriously.) Check out this Pride and Prejudice retelling on KU!
Radiant by Jordan Willis Bright
Perry is a librarian who just got attacked by...something on the way home from landing his dream job, but he was able to save himself when newfound powers of his emerge.
Alain, the vampire who attacked Perry (he got reasons, okay? he's lovely, promise), is shocked that a human was able to repel him. Intrigued, he tracks down Perry, and they find themselves tangled up in mystical murders, in finding out the truth behind Perry's powers, and eventually in each other too.
But Perry's powers put him in danger from a murderer seeking out magical users, AND Perry still doesn't know that Alain is the one who attacked him. What happens when both of these concerns hit at the same time? Radiant is available everywhere now!
Mine to Match by Yvette de Oro
Senora is a matchmaker who trusts numbers and algorithms to make the best possible matches for her clients--the heart side of things, she leaves for them to discover. Enzo is a singer on the verge of a breaktrhough. He doesn't trust this matchmaking thing AT ALL, but it's a marketing scheme to help boost him to rock star status, after years of grinding. But he's more intrigued with Senora than with his matches.
Senora needs to learn to trust her heart, and Enzo needs to learn to trust the process--and they both need to take a risk in order to be together. Mine to Match is available now on KU!
