Today on the site, I’m delighted to help reveal the cover of Edelweiss by Lloyd Hall, an f/f YA Romance releasing February 14th, 2026! Here’s the story:

Centuries after the earth is destroyed by an apocalyptic flood, life is cozy and peaceful in the snowy town of June. But that quiet life is about to be disturbed by June’s newest resident, Olivia.

After starting high school, Olivia becomes enamored with her classmate, Ava, who introduces Olivia to life in June. As their adventures unveil underground tunnels, lost tech, and a conspiracy involving the city’s androids, the girls realize they may be in over their heads.

Olivia must now uncover what’s really happening in June, all while navigating the ups and downs of her first relationship, unaware that solving these mysteries could put the entire city in danger.

And here’s the enchanting cover, designed by Abigail Spence!
