spicy romance – Ava Rouge Author

I’ve got a few little updates to share, and honestly, if your TBR is already hanging on by a thread, I’m not here to help.

I’m Finally on Beventi

I’m so excited to say that I’m finally on Beventi. You can now shop signed book bundles, special editions, and bookish extras all in one place, which feels very exciting and a little bit dangerous for both me and your bank account.

I’ll be sharing some pictures below so you can have a proper little look, and I’ve added the store link too, so you can browse everything for yourself.

You Can Also Find Me on Vinted

If Vinted is more your thing, I’m on there too with the same products, so you can shop whichever way suits you best. Signed books, bundles, and bookish extras are all there waiting for you, and I’ll leave the store link below for that as well.

Stuff Your Kindle Day is Coming

Stuff Your Kindle Day is coming on the 28th, hosted by RomanceBookLovers.com, and this is honestly one of my favourite bookish days because it’s basically the perfect excuse to download far too many books in one go and act like that was always the plan(it was lol).

There are going to be loads of amazing FREE books across romance and all its delicious little subgenres, so whether you love dark romance, contemporary, spicy reads, or something a bit more magical, there’s going to be plenty to get stuck into.

I’ll be sharing two graphics below with just a few of the books you’ll be able to choose from, including Liora, especially if paranormal and fantasy romance is your thing. So if you like your romance with magic, emotion, and a bit of danger, definitely keep an eye out for that one.

Basically, make sure you’ve got room on your Kindle, because your download finger is about to get some work.

Your Free Thank You Gift

And if you haven’t downloaded After Hours yet, don’t forget that it’s my little thank-you gift to my subscribers. Just a little extra spice from me to you for being here and supporting my books.

I’ve included the link below so you can grab your free copy nice and easily.

Thank you for being here, for supporting indie authors, and for being part of my little bookish world. It really does mean so much to me.

Happy New Year! It’s 2026!

First things first. I need to say sorry for disappearing.

Life happened. Properly. In ways I didn’t expect, couldn’t plan for, and honestly just had to deal with. Writing didn’t stop because I lost interest or passion. It stopped because sometimes you’re just trying to keep your head above water.

But I’m here again.
Back writing. Back building worlds. Back doing the thing that feels the most like me.

And I’m really excited about what’s coming next.

I’m returning to the Whispers of Destiny universe with a new addition titled Beast of Her Heart.

No spoilers yet. I’ll share more as I go, but for now, this story follows Kaiko (Kairos’s sister) and Lucio (Diedra’s brother). If you’ve read the trilogy, you already know both of them exist on the edges of the story. This one brings them into focus.

Beast of Her Heart takes place between Book Two (Inked Into Your Soul) and Book Three (Under Her Spell) of the trilogy. I’ll link the books here if you want to catch up or refresh your memory.

The book is currently available for pre-order, and I’ll also be sharing updates soon about ARC opportunities for those who like to read early and leave reviews.

I’m really looking forward to sharing this journey with you properly. The writing process, the chaos, the moments where characters refuse to behave, and everything in between.

Thank you for sticking around, even when things went quiet.

Here’s to new chapters, new stories, and a much better 2026.
