Australian-based designer and business, The Quirky Cup Collection excels in quality and a bombastic design!

These cute Conversation Heart Pins are all 2.8cm and explore some fave bookish tropes!

• Touch her and die: We love fictional overprotective and potentially a little violent love interests. This little candy sized book trope pin is our show of love for literary paramours who would do anything for their one true love. They would slay the most wickedest of foes for even breathing wrong when it comes to their darlings. And I'm guessing you're here because you find that a little hot? I don't know what that says about us but I'm just going to pretend that it's perfectly normal and not toxic in any way, shape or form. 
• Enemies to lovers: You can't convince me that Enemies to Lovers isn't the best trope of all time. Elizabeth Bennett and Mr Darcy, Feyre and Rhysand, Kat Stratford and Patrick Verona... romances that all have you screaming and kicking your feet when the walls come down and the lovers finally collide. An ode to our beloved love-to-hate relationships, the Enemies to Lovers enamel pin is a cutie patootie, candy sized declaration of our love for undeniable, heated chemistry.
• Morally grey love interest: The age old question: Is the villain kinda hot or do I just need therapy?
• Who did this to you: a trope where the main character has generally had something bad happen to them, only for their love interest to swoop in and get all revenge fuelled and protective. It's a classic line in a fantasy novel and one that we never get tired of 
• One bed only: Oh no, the characters that hate but secretly crave one another have stumbled across an inn for tonights reprieve. They speak with the inn-owner and unfortunately for them there's a room available, but it has one bed only.On this episode of 'Will They, Won't They'?, will they let their chemistry reach its destined peak? Or will the author keep us on the edge for another 10 chapters before they finally embrace? Either way, One Bed Only trope is a classic for a reason.
• Good girl: I have no words for the 'Good Girl' pin. I'll leave it up to your imaginations. 
• Slow burn: The best kind of romance? The Slow Burn. The love story that spans over years, books or seasons; where the build up of character chemistry becomes undeniably electric before it finally erupts. We all collectively kick our feet in excitement.

War has come to Sterling Falls.

The guys and I are scattered. Finding them is the first step.
Freeing them of their chains is the next.

Labeled a fugitive, I’m hunted for a rebellion I haven’t even begun to lead.
But I will lead it. I fell in love with this city–I won’t let it fall into chaos so easily.

A calm facade blankets the city.
Underneath it, the gangs are at each others’ throats.

Not everyone is glad I’m back in Sterling Falls…
And some would kill to keep me out.

Rebel is book 3 in the series and a continuation of the first two - it is not a standalone.

When the Rezwyn Empire mysteriously cuts diplomatic ties with the Kingdom of Usleth, merchant lord Oren Radek is sent to investigate. But when he discovers a coup brewing against the emperor, Radek's life and his country's safety is suddenly under threat.

Izra Dziove, visionary advisor to the Rezwyn Emperor, is trying to hold the turbulent Rezwyn court together while being plagued by dreams of his fated man. But when Izra’s adversaries launch an attack on the diplomatic party from Usleth, he is forced to take action to protect them and prevent a war.

Forced to trust one another, both men must put aside their differences to save the future of both their nations, while also contending with the growing attraction between them— all while trying to understand their mysterious connection and the forces guiding their shared destiny.

Can their fated love change the destiny of nations?

“Even though I don’t deserve her—not now, not ever—I can’t see myself letting her go.”

Beyond these prison walls an entire life waits. A daughter I barely know. A twin brother I miss. A lifetime of penance to be paid. But regret consumes me, and what-if’s haunt me. How do you forgive the irreversible errors of a boy, trying too hard to be a man?

Emerson Lane. She’s my how.

Warm. Passionate. Unexpected. She’s everything good in this world. She makes me feel dangerous things. Hopeful things.

Redemption isn’t something I thought I’d ever find. Until the keeper of my second chance found me.

Saba Vasili, a scholar of the astral sea, faces a harrowing accusation: an arcane device he designed has malfunctioned and an entire district of the city has been obliterated and a foreign dignitary has been killed. Charged with murder, Saba is incarcerated on the orders of Byrengrad's ruling council, the Triad.

Ambassador Luan Zek of the Rezwyn Empire is dispatched to take custody of the alleged murderer of his countryman. But seeing Saba's pathetic state, Zek questions whether Saba is truly guilty or only the Triad's scapegoat.

With Byrengrad's fate in the balance, Saba and Zek must uncover the truth behind the arcane catastrophe and stop the malfunctioning device that is jeopardizing the fabric of their whole world.

Can one act of compassion save the world?

"Even if he doesn't want to be with me, he will always be one of the best things to ever happen to me."

We weren’t just young, we were stupid and reckless.

He was the beginning of every bad decision I made, the enemy of everyone I’d ever loved.

I was a pawn in his game. A prize to be claimed, and a trophy to be flaunted.

Now we’re two adults with crooked pasts, trying to straighten out our future.

His heart belongs to his daughter, while mine is too tattered to give away.

Neither of us believe in happily ever after. Not after everything we’ve been through.

So, why are we desperately trying to chase ours?

Stuck on an alien planet with no means of escape. I can’t say I’ve been in worse situations.

It’s my nature to try to look on the bright side and remain positive in the face of adversity. Even when everything seems to be going completely crazy.

My resolve is tested when I’m taken by an alien who looks like a demon. He’s primal and aggressive – but when my life is in danger, he surges to my rescue.

I get small glimpses that there’s something more to him, convincing me he’s simply a wounded animal unsure how to respond to kindness. He’s keeping things from me, not only why I’m on this planet, but also about himself.

Is he a victim too?

With all of this to consider, why is it that when I try to think of ways to thank him for helping me, my mind only goes in one direction? I’m inexperienced and feel it’s wrong to have these indecent thoughts.

As desire heaves through me, I wonder, does he want to give into it like I do?

Since time immemorial the warriors of the Paladin Order have harnessed arcane powers to protect their rulers. For Balen, who has given up his chance at love and fought his way to the top of the Paladin Order, there can be no greater honor than to serve his king. But when assassins annihilate the royal family, Balen suddenly finds himself sworn to serve the very man he abandoned.

Now with their nation threatened by enemies both within and outside the kingdom, Balen must fight hidden traitors and unnatural assassins, while also contending with the biting wit and dangerous charm of young King Zavrius. To save themselves and their nation they will have to put aside their past and reforge that trust they lost so long ago.

I’ve been abducted, torn from my home, experimented on, then left stranded on a strange planet.

The other girls who were abducted with me are out there somewhere, and I need to navigate an unfamiliar landscape to find them, while fighting for survival. Easy, right?

Things are complicated further when I find an alien.
Or more to the point, he finds me.

He won’t leave me alone, no matter what I do. And, as we spend more time together, the way I’m drawn to him defies reason and logic—he’s protective and caring in a way I crave.

But then a contradicting side of him emerges—a wild beast driven by primal instincts, savage and unpredictable.

And I wonder if I’m safer without him.

As the line between survival and desire blurs, it becomes undeniably clear that there are few things more distracting than a sexy alien determined to keep me happy.

I must be crazy. The way he looks at and touches me should be terrifying, but instead I really, really like it.

"When I can't hear you and see you, I can't want you–and I can't want you anymore."

Sasha was the girl next door, and at fifteen I was sure she was my forever. She was my constant, and never let me down.

Until she did.

She broke me, yet I still found myself longing for her with a debilitating desperation.

Then came Taylah. A crazy and chaotic hurricane of beauty and bad decisions, she breathed life back into me.

For her, my heart began to beat a new rhythm. She was whimsical, and I was level-headed. We were mismatched in the most perfect of ways.

Two women. One decision. Sasha was my first love, but could Taylah be my last?

SHE'S UNDER MY SKIN AND I'M OUT OF MY MIND

There are three things that get under Madeline Maddox’s skin:
defeat, disorder and disruption…especially when it comes to her carefully curated life and her roller derby team.

No one outskates Mad Maddox—that is, until a cocky little jammer blows back into her hometown wreaking havoc into all her plans.

Vera Havik is mayhem, she’s chaos, she’s everything Madeline despises.

Madeline is set on making their time on the track a rink-rash-filled nightmare, pushing through Vera's defenses like a bad block. That’s when she learns the heavy secret the world-famous jammer is hiding and now, everything’s off-track, including their hearts.

The fine line between love and hatred can be crushed, snorted, or injected…

But it can’t be ignored.

Rink Rash is a Stand alone sapphic sports romance previously published under the title False Start: A roller derby romance, character names, background and descriptions have since changed for a better reader experience.

My life went from great to disaster in under five minutes.

Connor
It was just another Friday night, bringing home takeout for a cozy evening in with my boyfriend. Only to find him wearing nothing but a towel and my best friend frantically trying to put his clothes back on. It didn't take a genius to figure out what was going on.

Now I'm homeless and friendless and stumbling mindlessly through the doors of Mars Fitness, straight into Donnie's strong, comforting arms. He offers me a place to crash, then shows me how much more life can be when I have him by my side.

Donnie
What was I supposed to do? Let the guy sleep on the street when I had a perfectly good guest room at home?

Letting Connor stay with me was supposed to be a temporary thing, but I never expected to feel so much around him. Attraction, joy, protectiveness—emotions I haven't felt in ages are suddenly breaking through my grief and overwhelming me.

It's been four years since my husband passed, and I've been caught in a limbo of merely existing ever since. But with Connor in my house and awakening all these feelings in me, maybe it's time I start living again.

Ripped is an age gap, nerd/jock, hurt/comfort MM romance between roommates who cuddle while watching classic movies. Expect low angst steamy shower rooms, teary confessions, disapproving family, and brand-new beginnings. It is the first book in the Mars Fitness series and can be read as a stand-alone.

With one of the four Princes fallen, and Mara whisked off in a whirl of shadows by the Nightmare King, Dominic, Tiernan and Forrest are left behind with Jean to try and work out their next steps.

Depths of Autumn is the fourth book in the four book Wyldthorn Academy Series. 

A fantasy adventure of self-discovery, slow-burning romance and magic. Rise of the Phoenix follows a group of friends torn from their ordinary lives and thrown into a ruthless pursuit that could cost them everything.

One moment can change your life forever.

Will Tavner never imagined his quiet life in Fawkeston would end with fire and shadows. Marked by a strange glowing symbol and plagued by visions he can’t explain, Will’s dreams of leaving his small town behind crumble as he’s thrust into a world where magic is more than myth — and far more dangerous.

Together with his fiercely loyal friends — Aylise, Seb, and Rupert — Will is drawn into an ancient conflict brewing across the kingdom of Arulean. The ruthless Queen Haveena and her husband, King Rickard, rule the land with fear, wielding their powers to crush dissent. When whispers of rebellion stir and a long-forgotten power begins to rise, their reign threatens to topple.

As secrets unravel and loyalties are tested, Will must decide who he can trust and what he’s willing to sacrifice to awaken a long-lost power. In a world teetering on the edge of revolution, his choices will either spark a new dawn — or doom it to ashes.

This man, Mallrie, just saved my life, but how do I know I can trust him? After all, no one in their right mind is out after dark, yet here he is.
Here I am.

***

In Datura, a small township plagued by nocturnal, flesh-eating monsters, two rules are immutably enforced: never venture into the Melsheim Forest surrounding the town and never leave your home after dark. The stench of death and decay clings to the cobblestone streets where Flesh-Hunters lurk in every corner, always hungry for their next meal.

When Eliana, half a bottle of gin deep, stumbles through the dark streets, she races against time to get home. When she finds herself cornered, convinced she’s about to meet the God of Death, a flash of purple and a man will shatter everything she thought she knew. She’ll find herself breaking not only the laws of Datura but also the rules she’s enforced to protect her heart.

Years ago, Mallrie made a promise, one he’s determined to keep—even if it means sacrificing his morals. To rid Datura of the Kailadons, he must restore the magic to the ancient tree at the heart of the town. He’s spent years focused solely on that goal, on that promise. He never meant to fall in love, but when Eliana crashed into his life, she brought a storm of questionable choices—him being one of them.

I remember the first time I met Dylan Rodriguez. It was one sweaty encounter I’ll never forget.

The second time we met, he arrested me. I can still see the hot scowl on his beautiful face as he slapped handcuffs on me and realized I was … me.

Dylan’s main goal in life is to forget he ever met me. My goal is to make him mine.

Turns out, I'm better at this game than he is.

The blood sacrifices have brought rain to Demonside, but across the void, the Warlock College of Vinland is still storing and gathering magic, heedless of the warnings of the international magical community. The underground is full of warlocks who disagree with the college, but do they care about wizards and demons or only about snatching power?

With a foot in each world, Angus is no longer sure whom he can trust. The demons don’t trust humans, and even though he is learning more magic, he will never be one of them. He is human and only tolerated. Some demons would be happy to slit his throat. It’s only because his demon is powerful in his own right that Angus is alive.

Saka only has a year to prove that Angus’s people can change and that the magic taken will be rebalanced, but the demons want action. His affection for Angus is clouding his judgment and weakening his position in the tribe. Time is running out, and he must make a choice.

Payne

In search of: room to rent.

Must ignore the patheticness of a forty-year-old roommate.

Preferably dirt cheap as funds are tight (nonexistent).

There’s nothing sadder than moving back to my hometown newly divorced, homeless, and lost for what my next move is.

When my little brother’s best friend offers me a place to stay in exchange for menial duties, I swallow my pride and jump at the offer.

I need this.

I also need Beau to wear a shirt. And ditch the gray sweatpants. And not leave his door ajar when he’s in compromising positions ...

Beau

In search of: roommate.

Must be non smoker and non douchebag.

Room payment to be made in meal planning, repairs, and dumb jokes.

Since my career took off, I barely have time to breathe, let alone keep my life in order. I’m naturally chaotic, make terrible decisions, and scare off potential dates with my “weirdness”.

So when Payne gets back into town and needs somewhere to stay, I offer him my spare room with one condition: while he’s staying with me, I need him to help me become date-able.

And while he does that, I can focus on my other plan: ignoring that Payne is the only man I’ve ever wanted to date.

Welcome to Rut, where your pleasure is our business.

Gorgeous, chiseled alpha dancers. Specialty drinks on demand prepared by flirty bartenders. Omega-only member hours.

Veronica has cracked the code for omega-focused entertainment. A bar where omegas like her can let loose without worrying about creepy, predatory alphas.

But Rut is more than just sizzle and sleaze: there’s something else going on beneath all the body oil and glitter. Something IRS agent Brenden Hall is getting dangerously close to uncovering during the bar's audit.

Unfortunately for her, the unassuming agent is starting to smell like temptation, just like two of her also-off-limits employees. There's Anthony, her bratty tattooed bartender with a smile full of sinful promise, and Jamie, the lovesick himbo alpha dancer who tempts her one dance at a time.

Vee can’t allow herself to give in to an indulgence that could cost her the bar. There's also the matter of that stubborn dominant streak that makes her a less-than-ideal example of her designation. What pack would want an omega with Domme tendencies, anyway?

While Vee worries about getting Rut through the tax audit, the boys worry if they'll be able to survive her stubbornness. Can these four wildcards come together and admit their deepest desires, or will they all keep dancing around it forever?

Rut Bar is a low stakes, high feels, ultra steamy MMFM omegaverse romance. There are no shifters or werewolves in this novel. A content guide is included in the beginning for readers with sensitivities. This book features multiple love interests and a heroine who won't be choosing. If you enjoy long heat scenes, a career-focused omega with switchy Domme tendencies, a soft Dom IRS agent who audits the bar, a himbo alpha dancer, a feral tattooed beta bartender, shibari, public fun, and 4 adults handling their business with minimal angst and no 3rd act break-up then this book is for you. While Rut Bar takes place after the events in Heat Clinic, the Heatverse books are standalones and can be read in any order.

Abducted by aliens in the middle of the night, then dumped on a foreign planet in nothing but my flimsy nightclothes.

Any number of predators could have eaten me.

Well, as it turns out, I was—eaten, I mean—by a hulking alien who really knew what he was doing when it came to pleasing human women.

Is he my protector or my captor?
And what happened to the other women I was abducted with?

Something must be seriously wrong with me because I want to ask for his help to find the other women, but even with our language barrier, I find my thoughts drifting. And the way he touches me tells me his thoughts are anything but pure.

I must be crazy. There are dangers on this planet he’s only hinted at, a reason I’m here I don’t know, and yet when I’m with my alien savior, all I can think is when he touches me, I really, really, like it.
