Exclusive Cover Reveal: Crashing Into Christmas by Mara Lovelle
Today on the site I’m delighted to reveal the cover of Crashing into Christmas by Mara Lovelle, a lesbian holiday romance novella releasing November 4th! Here’s the story.
“She hit me with her car. We’re taking it slow.”
After a grueling shift at the ER, all Morgan Gatlin wants is to go home—easier said than done in the worst snowstorm to hit New York City in years. One moment, she’s ignoring the Christmas nonsense the radio bombards her with, the next, she’s crashing bumper-first into unsuspecting pedestrian Elena Solorzano.
Guilt-stricken, Morgan rushes Elena to the hospital, and, when the storm shuts off Elena’s way to get home, Morgan offers her a place to stay.
What starts as an attempt to ease her conscience snowballs into something softer. Elena is warm, easy to talk to, and far too good at seeing what Morgan’s been running from for years. As Morgan’s guard melts, she is forced to make a choice: open her heart and risk loss again, or keep hiding in her lonely world.
Here’s the adorable cover, designed by Ivanna Nashkolna!

A struggling writer falls for the hot ghost mom she meets in the iconic Dakota Building in a romance perfect for fans of The Dead Romantics.
Frannie’s awful boss, celebrated literary novelist Henry L. Olsen, just told her that her latest manuscript is a dud—again. Frustrated and lonely, Frannie stomps around the ninth floor of the famously haunted Dakota Building in Manhattan, desperate for something to change. And then, something does.
Bridgette, the ghost of a little girl from 1889, appears out of nowhere and asks Frannie to play catch. Shocked and wildly curious, Frannie says yes to the ghostly invitation and soon meets Bridgette’s ghost brother, Michael . . . and the children’s exceedingly attractive and aloof 1960s ghost mom, Elsa.
Fascinated and more than a little flustered, Frannie starts secretly writing a book about Elsa (a.k.a. Hot Ghost Mom). And while her boss is on book tour, through a mutual affection for musicals, banter, and the ghost children, Frannie and Elsa slowly become friends, until Frannie finds herself tumbling head over heels in love with a ghost tied to a building she couldn’t afford to live in over four lifetimes.
Now Frannie has to either give up her ambitions of becoming a novelist to remain Henry’s assistant in the Dakota forever or somehow free her ghost family from their immortal home. With her career, future, and heart on the line, can Frannie find a way to write them all a happily-ever-after . . . life?

Inspired by Appalachian and Southeast Asian folklore, a witch and her classmates are kidnapped by a handsome pharmaceutical billionaire and told to heal him or die, in this speculative horror debut with a sapphic romantic twist.
Saige Chambers, Arcane Bioengineering student and blood witch, is constantly anxious and chronically over-prepared. When Saige and her fellow witch doctoral candidates depart for a conference, she plans and anticipates every last detail. Except – she’s not prepared for the moment their bus turns off the highway and takes them to a remote mansion in the Appalachian Mountains, the gates sealing shut behind them.
The mansion’s owner, Arius Medea, issues a simple mandate: fix his injured, rotting leg or die. But it’s no ordinary injury – the flesh melts off the bone, emitting waves of foul magic that set Saige’s blood alight. Saige’s colleagues want to fight back and escape. Saige thinks their best chance is to fix him fast and get out. As tensions rise, Saige finds herself growing closer to Vaishnavi Sri, a poison witch and Saige’s long-term crush. But first impressions can be misleading, and as Saige’s reluctant attraction to Arius grows, she begins to wonder if there’s a better life waiting for her in the walls of this mansion.
But, as one by one, Saige’s colleagues start to disappear, Saige realizes that dying may not be the worst option – because there are far worse fates lurking in the woods.

Ally North’s viral BookTok sensation follows a preacher’s daughter with a secret, an outlaw running from the gallows, and a thrilling sapphic love story spanning vast oceans and wide deserts.
June 1852. When Abby Proctor is kidnapped from a train in the middle of the desert halfway to her new life in California, she makes a promise to herself—she will escape. Abby is leaving Iowa and all its oppressions behind for a reason, and she refuses to be someone’s prisoner again. Especially when that someone is the infamous female outlaw Joey “JT London” Taylor—Abby’s brash, brooding, and inconveniently beautiful captor.
As Abby plots her escape, she stumbles upon a larger conspiracy behind her kidnapping—a complicated revelation considering her growing feelings for Joey, who might not be the ruthless criminal everyone believes her to be. Suddenly Abby doesn’t want to go back to the confines of her religious father or her suffocating husband.
Then Abby realizes it’s all connected—her kidnapping, the secrets she left behind in Iowa, even her plans in California—and she must decide between returning to a life of obedience and unhappiness or trusting an enigmatic outlaw bound for the gallows.
