Free romance stories delivered straight to your inbox every Friday.

As a kid roughly a hundred years ago⏳, I remember being asked what I wanted to do when I grew up. I replied, “I want to read.” Everyone chuckled, including me.
Since then, I’ve found my happily ever after (love you, boo 😘), and now, I get to share a little slice of that magic with you - eight romance stories bursting with all the feels that we’ve released for free so far.
I’m especially excited to introduce you to Chocolatiers of the High Winds, a sweeping sci-fi romance by H.B. Kurtzwilde. Set in a world of daring airships and chocolate alchemy, it’s a tale that reminds you why you fell in love with stories in the first place.
For non-believers (like former-me), dreams really can come true.
With love,
