Six Bullets and A Crown

THE SIZZLING ENEMIES-TO-LOVERS ROMANTASY The desert doesn't forgive—and neither does she. In a city built on the bones of a dead god, beware of digging too deep. Ever Kaid’s father is missing—kidnapped by a dangerous cult that believes he holds the key to resurrecting their god. To save him, and stop a ritual that would destroy the desert oasis of Serpent City, Ever must solve the clues her father left behind and find the hidden artifact the cult covets. But Ever isn’t the only one after the crown. Sterling Ford is a legendary gunslinger. With god-touched revolvers and a reputation for brutality, he’s been hired to stop the cult’s deadly agenda. But the very magic that makes Sterling invincible may also spell his demise. In a race against time, Ever and Sterling will have to leap before they look, trust in the face of betrayal, and persist against impossible odds. Their failure will doom Serpent City. But their triumph will come at a cost neither expects to pay. RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK meets CRESCENT CITY in a fast-paced, Western-inspired romantasy full of adventure, banter, and magic. © Alexis Calder 2026 (P) Penguin Audio 2026
