We are a UK independent micro-publisher for contemporary romance, contemporary/women’s fiction, thrillers, dark fantasy, paranormal romance, gothic fiction, and horror. In 2015, we decided to focus solely on Satin Smoke Press, our imprint for fantasy author, Dianna Hardy, and this had been our focus ever since.

“What I love about this story is that these two characters actually rescue each other. It has been a privilege to journey with them as they try to fix their shattered lives.” — Book Reviews by Lynn

⋅•⋅⊰∙∘☽༓☾∘∙⊱⋅•⋅

Norman Smithson is at the end of the line. His wife left him, women don't look at him, he was made redundant, and at forty, he could be just that little bit slimmer. He would be a has-been if he'd ever been a 'was' in the first place. He's not the Alpha male of the 21st century – or of any century. He was the chubby oddball who used to sit silently at the back of the class so he wouldn't get picked on.

Rosa is a dreadlocked, tattooed and pierced twenty-something, who uses her image as armour to keep everyone away from every broken thing about her. But her past is about to catch up with her ... at the exact moment Norman finds himself in completely the wrong place, at the worst possible time.

One gunshot, one scramble for life, one unlikely couple, one very long night ... can one damaged woman and one ordinary man, find the extraordinary in the very last second they're given?

Broken Lights is a standalone story of what's really worth fighting for, when one second is all you have left.

YES! Expect it before December.

Expect a release before December. What else to expect? 60s and 70s music, forced proximity, one bed (one car? one road?), pinks, yellows, oranges, beige, and a lot of family drama 🙌

It’s 1972. Felicity is on the run from York, heading south to escape her parents’ demands to marry her father’s colleague. Jack’s a drifter. Unable to focus on one thing, he’s left behind a paying job and a broken heart – he’s heading north to start over. On the A162, their worlds collide. One night together leads to another. The future suddenly looks rosy ... if they can keep everyone else away.

Project Veil: When the light rises… (Blood Surge 2)

Abigail Carey has been abducted, although she’s struggling to understand if that’s a blessing or a curse, given the circumstances surrounding her departure from her mother’s party. Her only point of contact is Joseph, her abductor – a dangerous vampire, bordering on insane, who appears increasingly obsessed with her each day that passes.

Abi needs to escape, but as events unravel, she finds she is also unravelling, something wild and dark within, altering her piece by piece.

Meanwhile, Sophia is on the mend, fighting to keep her job and already searching for the elusive Project Veil. But she has a problem: Jacque woke up, and he woke up ... different. No one knows why, though it might be something to do with the Blood Surge they endured for his survival.

As Ronan aids her search for answers, she finds herself more and more drawn to him, but determined not to be – she loves Jacque with all her heart.

Fate, however, might have plans of its own, as do others – some of whom would like Project Veil never to be found.
