In *The Exquisite Torment of Loving Your Enemy* by Brigitte Knightley, scholar-healer Aurienne Fairhrim and lethal assassin Osric Mordaunt are bound by mandatory full-moon sessions along magic ley lines to cure Osric’s fatal Seith rot. Aurienne’s pacifist Haelan Order and Osric’s ruthless Fyren assassin order stand at moral odds, yet their enforced proximity turns fierce hatred into an undeniable slow-burn romance. When the duo uncovers a dark conspiracy behind a deliberately unleashed plague—Platt’s Pox—they must form a dangerous alliance to expose the sinister faction threatening the Tīendoms before war consumes the realm.

“A triumph of modern romantasy, blending razor-sharp banter, rich magical lore, and blistering slow-burn chemistry into one of the year’s most addictive and satisfying conclusions.”

The Book Guide® Editor

Knightley delivers a triumph of romance writing that successfully pays off every drop of unresolved tension built across the duology. The dialogue crackles with wicked, theatrical banter—largely thanks to Osric’s delightfully dramatic personality and Aurienne’s stubborn, clinical brilliance. It is a thrilling, emotionally resonant conclusion that satisfies both fantasy enthusiasts seeking intricate plotlines and romance lovers yearning for genuine, hard-earned heat.

Fruit Fly (2026)

In his adult debut, Fruit Fly, author Josh Silver (previously known for HappyHead) brings a sharp, unsettling perspective to the contemporary thriller. The novel centers on Mallory Maddox, a once-lauded novelist paralyzed by protracted writer’s block, who resolves her creative deficit by co-opting the life of a young gay man navigating homelessness, addiction, and severe mental distress. What follows is an increasingly volatile descent into the ethics of exploitation and literary ownership. For readers who devoured R.F. Kuang’s Yellowface and found themselves hungry for another lacerating examination of modern cultural appropriation within the publishing ecosystem, Silver’s dark satire delivers with considerable bite.
