Apprentices, and two ghost towns, and almost-demons oh…no.

Mack doesn’t mind the apprentice part of this job; in fact, finding Gwyn is delightful, though he hates she grew up in such a haunted town with parents who don’t believe she’s a Medium.

Mack really hates the old mining ghost town is locked down with weird energy and none of the ghosts can see them, which makes passing them difficult.

Mack especially hates that in Black Rock there’s an almost-demon ghost inciting other ghosts to cause a mob, how is that allowed to be a thing?!

Who you gonna call for help when you’re the experts? Mack wants to know for a friend. (Him. He’s the friend.)

RELEASE BLITZ - DARK ROMANCE - BETWEEN SIN AND RUIN (Ruinous Duet, #1) by SS Rayne

Between Sin and Ruin

Ruinous Duet, #1

by SS Rayne

Release Date: May 15th 2026

Genre: Dark Romance; Psychological Romance

In the Dominion, marriage wasn’t about love.

It was about power, loyalty, and survival.

I knew that when I said my vows.

I learned how to be still.

How to be perfect.

How to stand beside a man like Alaric Kostas—heir to an empire built on blood—and never let him see where I could break.

And for a while, I didn’t.

Because Alaric didn’t destroy what belonged to him.

He protected it.

Controlled it.

Closed his hand around it until there was nowhere left to run.

I let him.

I let him build a world around me that looked like devotion and felt like ownership.

Until the night I saw something I was never meant to see.

That was the night the illusion died.

The night I stopped being his perfect wife, and remembered exactly what I was capable of becoming.

🚨 Author’s Note

This is a dark romance and explores themes of power, control, and betrayal, including one instance of infidelity.

This is a duet, and the central couple’s HEA unfolds in Book 2.

SS Rayne writes dark romance filled with betrayal, obsession, morally gray characters, and emotionally complicated love stories that refuse to mellow.

Inspired by psychological thrillers, crime dramas, and the beautifully disastrous side of human emotion, her books explore toxic devotion, dangerous power dynamics, feminine rage, and the thin line between love and ruin.

When she isn’t writing destructive fictional couples, she’s usually reading, spending time with her family, wrangling animals, and losing arguments with the morally questionable voices in her head demanding she writes their story.

RELEASE BLITZ w/EXCERPT - PARANORMAL - A FORCED BOND (Dark Pack, #1) by Ann D. Lang

A Forced Bond

Dark Pack, #1

by Ann D. Lang

Release Date: May 15th 2026

Forced together. Fated forever.

She was supposed to find her fated mate under the full moon.

Instead, she is ordered to bond with a stranger.

The full moon after Rhia’s twentieth birthday was meant to be the happiest night of her life. Among wolf shifters, it is the first full moon after turning twenty when a wolf might finally recognize the mate chosen by the Moon Goddess.

Rhia has always hoped that mate would be Caleb, the boy she has loved for years.

But when an entire neighboring pack is brutally wiped out, everything changes.

Fearing they could be next, the Red Moon Pack forms a desperate alliance with the powerful Silver Lake Pack. And alliances between alpha families require one thing above all else: a mating bond.

As the only unmated alpha daughter of Red Moon, Rhia’s future is decided for her. Instead of discovering her fated mate under the coming full moon, she is ordered to form a bond with Jalen, the future alpha of Silver Lake.

Leaving her home, her family, and the life she thought she would have.

Jalen never wanted a forced bond any more than Rhia did. But protecting their packs comes before everything. What neither of them expected was the instant pull between them, a connection that feels far too real to be political.

But if the Moon Goddess had a plan for their bond all along, it may be because the Dark Pack is not finished yet—and their own may be the next target.

"Race you to the rocks?" Rhia points to the little collection of rocks well off the shoreline.

"They are further away than you think," I try to warn her from experience, but she has already taken off.

As I soon realize, she is not only an excellent fighter but also a very good swimmer. I love it. I am a decent swimmer myself, but it is not exactly my strongest form of movement. At least that is what I am telling myself as I try hard to keep up with Rhia.

I am right behind her, but there is no hiding my labored breathing when we reach the rocks. Unlike me, Rhia is not even a little winded, and I admire her strength. "You're an amazing athlete. I can't wait to see what you can do without the necklace," I grin at her.

"Are you coming in?" As I turn back around, Rhia is already swimming away from the shore.

'Oooh, well she's hot!' Hunter's voice comes through the mind link.

'Leave now, or I will end you! This is your future luna!'

His wolf actually gives me a wink before he turns around.

When Ann D. Lang isn’t writing, she can be found with her family and her cats — who treat everyone in the house as their personal servants and are entirely unbothered by deadlines. A lifelong lover of paranormal romance in all its forms, from vampire courts and fae kingdoms to witch covens and wolf pack politics, she has spent years falling in love with other people’s worlds — and one day simply decided to open the doors to a world of her own.
