P.S. If you’re new here—welcome! We drop curated lists of romance and spicy stories every Friday and Sunday.
If you like to read about things that go bump in the night, tonight’s email is dangerously bumpy. 👻
Not a fan of bumps? Head on over to our re-vamped homepage where we've smashed literary barriers (and a few outdated taboos along the way) or check out our Romantasy. Since we’re building in public, get ready for exciting updates next week—bugs included! Thanks for rolling with us while we smooth things out. 😎
P.S. Between the DOGE fallout and launching a startup, all I'm capable of right now is cuddling up with a spoon and something cold and sweet (ish ice cream, not whatever yew were finking; dwon't ewven twy riting to me toonite). 🫠
With love,
