It feels like every publishing company, big or small, has had delays in releases recently. I had so many wrong release dates last month that I had to double and triple-check paperback release dates for this month. If anything is wrong, I’m going to scream… 😂 Anyway, lots of good releases coming this month that I’m excited about!
I’m only posting the synopses from the first volumes. So, even if it says Volume 33, I’ve included the blurb from Volume 1.

Aconit’s haughty façade of careless allure masks his own old wounds and deep distrust of humans, but Ollie sees through his surface beauty to the lonely, resentful creature beneath. In turn, Aconit finds his cold heart stirred by Ollie’s tender affection and innocent intentions. But can the love between the two of them last as tensions mount and the mistreatment of furless weighs heavier and heavier upon Ollie’s heart…?
