Resonance Surge

 

Alt text - quote from Resonance Surge - Wild Woman magazine excerpt: Dear Aunt Rita, I’ve read your previous advice on being wary of bears who come with delicious edible gifts, and I have to disagree. My sweet bear friend Sally-mae has been baking me fruit pies for the past six months, and she has no designs on my body or heart whatsoever. Why, the other week, she even offered to iron my shirt for my date with another woman. It wasn’t her fault the iron malfunctioned and she burned a hole in my shirt. ~Just a Friend. Dear Just a Friend, Oh, you sweet summer child. Do write to me once you two are mated so I can say “I told you so” while eating my favorite peach pie. ~Aunt Rita (Wild Woman: Skin Privileges, Style & Primal Sophistication)

Who would like to write to Aunt Rita for some advice??

Storm Echo

 

Alt text: Wild Woman Magazine "Scary but Sexy" Column with image of blue-toned book cover with man and woman's face in silhouette and image of Golden Gate Bridge in background and words Nalini Singh, Storm Echo (available now). Next to book cover text: Ivan Mercant: Telepath, 6.2, black hair, killer blue eyes and ice-cold sexiness. Here's the tea, wild women. This fine specimen of manhood has long floated under our radar. How, we do not know. The man is so hot that certain bear ladies were willing to risk freezer burn to get close to him. And it is thanks to our lovely bear readers in StoneWater that we now have knowledge of Mr. Ivan Mercant. They tell us that he attended their alpha's mating ceremony to another Mercant (covered in our special mating issue!), slayed many a heart, and left without a backward look. Oh ouch. We know you're all wondering about the scary part of this. Word is he's a security specialist - and that the bear dominants confirm they wouldn't pick a fight with him unless they meant it. Because the man doesn't play if you come for him or his. Wild Women, can we say swoooooooooon?

Such A Perfect Family (A thriller)

Coming January 2026

A man with a deadly past marries into the perfect,  respectable family in this riveting thriller from New York Times bestselling author Nalini Singh. . . .

A woman buried.

A woman broken.

A woman crashed.

A woman burned.

And the man who knew them all.

Love at first sight, a whirlwind Vegas wedding, a fairy-tale romance.

For forty-three days, Tavish Advani has been the happiest man in the world—until his new life turns to ash, his wealthy in-laws’ house going up in a fiery explosion. His badly injured wife lies in a coma, her family all but annihilated.

Tavish thought he'd left the sins of his Los Angeles life behind, but it’s not so easy to leave behind an investigation into the deaths of several high-profile women—all of whom he'd professed to love. Tragedy and death follow him no matter where he goes . . . but this time, he knows he’s truly innocent.

Desperately trying to clear his name as the authorities zero in, he begins his own investigation into the fire—and learns that his wife’s picture-perfect family may have been nothing but a meticulously constructed mirage. The truth is much darker than anything Tavish could’ve imagined. . . .
