Dial T for Tech Nerd

Megan Wade • Curves Capital #3

The Curves Capital series continues with another billionaire hero who falls hard and fast for his curvy heroine. If you loved Wall St. Jerk and Dial B for Billionaire, you're going to devour this one.

As always, this book comes with my Sugar Promise: high heat, low drama, and a guaranteed happily ever after. No cliffhangers. No cheating. Just pure, satisfying romance.

Amy Award • My Big Fat Kingman Wedding #1

Chris Kingman knows how to lead a team and win championships. Wedding planning? That's a whole different sport. When the venue is a farm animal sanctuary and his bride volunteers there, Chris officially crosses into full groomzilla territory.

With farm animals running wild, family chiming in, and a rooster named Luke Skycocker threatening the altar, their journey to "I do" is messy, hilarious, and full of heart.

Mary Warren • Glendale Magic #5

Hillary Lawson built her life around work. She never expected to fall for a player—especially not the charming rookie who delivers her coffee every morning with a smile that could melt the ice.

Murphy O'Rourke isn't just another player. He's sunshine in skates, and he's set on proving that love doesn't care about age, rules, or reputations. When a leaked photo and a family emergency force them into the open, they'll have to decide if love is worth the risk.

Mary Warren founded Fat Girls in Fiction and consistently writes plus-size heroines who are loved exactly as they are.

Evie Mitchell • Stoneheart Motorcycle Club #6

When the President of the Stoneheart MC clashes with the Club's sexy lawyer, all bets are off. This is the epic finale to the Stoneheart series—a collaboration between myself and Evie that's been building toward this explosive conclusion.

If you love protective biker heroes, strong heroines, found family, and a small town fighting back against corruption, this series is for you. And Blood and Stone brings it all home.

Kelsie Hoss • New Series

Bryce's book is finally coming—and it's kicking off a whole new series from Kelsie Hoss! Details are still under wraps, but if you've read Kelsie's Hello series, you know her curvy heroines are always the main characters in their own love stories.

Kelsie writes stories that make you laugh, cry, and feel—with amazing curvy women, heartwarming moments, and plenty of spice.

S.J. Tilly • New Paranormal Series

S.J. Tilly is venturing into paranormal romance with this mysterious new series! While details are scarce, S.J. is known for her curvy heroines and guaranteed HEAs across her Sin, Alliance, and Mountain Men series.

If you've loved her contemporary romances, this paranormal adventure is going to be a treat.

Olivia Dade

Gwen Wexloff can see the future—but not when it matters. Her visions invariably involve piddling issues, which means she's spent her life predicting for everyday humans instead of international power brokers. Then a demon shows up, and everything changes.

Olivia Dade (author of Spoiler Alert and At First Spite) is known for her body-positive heroines and bawdy romcoms. This paranormal romance promises all the wit and heart she's famous for.

Why Plus-Size Romance Matters 💕

Every reader deserves to see themselves in a love story. For too long, romance has been dominated by one body type—but that's changing, and these authors are leading the charge.

Plus-size romance isn't about "despite" or "even though." It's about heroines who are desired, cherished, and loved exactly as they are. No weight loss journey required. No "if only she'd..." internal monologue. Just women living their lives and finding love.

When you support these books, you're telling the industry that body diversity matters. That every body deserves a happily ever after. And that we want more.
