Coming October 21, 2025
One Time in Paris
One unexpected encounter changes everything.
A night in Vegas. A deal neither of them remembers making. Now Isla Scott is stuck traveling through cities named Paris with her brother’s best friend, Aiden Camden—and the tension between them is impossible to ignore. Perfect for fans of forced proximity, forbidden chemistry, and wanderlust-fueled romance.
Available Now!
Get swept away by the riveting and romantic World War I saga with Windswept, the book that started it all. Perfect for readers who love The Nightingale and The Alice Network. A "gripping adventure" (Kirkus Reviews).
A complete series of interconnected standalone contemporary romances set in fictional Appalachian town Brandywood, Maryland. Brimming with swoony small town charm, found family, and sizzling heat.
Fall in love around the world with the Wanderlust series—steamy, laugh-out-loud romances set in unforgettable destinations. Each book is a standalone escape packed with heart, heat, and just the right kind of chaos.
Annabelle McCormack writes historical romantic fiction, fantasy, and contemporary romance packed with sprawling adventures, epic love, and soulmates who just can’t stay away from each other (even when the world is falling apart). If there’s a sweeping love story with high stakes and deep emotions, she’s probably writing it—or at least dreaming about it while chasing down her next cup of coffee.
When she’s not wrangling words, she’s wrangling five home-schooled kids, a couple of dogs, and an unreasonable amount of books in Maryland. If life had more hours (and less laundry), she’d be traveling, painting, or becoming a professional pastry chef. For now, she’s content with baking, reading, lifting heavy things at the gym, and plotting her next great escape—er, novel. She has been happily publishing since 2021.

It’s here!!!!! After months of anticipation that so many of you have been so patiently waiting for—Jack Darby’s spinoff book is OUT TODAY!!
A Spark in Ashes took me a bit longer to get into your hands for good reason—I love Jack so much that I put countless hours into making sure this book would be worthy of him! I hope I did it and your beloved characters from Windswept justice, and I really can’t wait for you to read it.
A Spark in Ashes is available on all retailers where you love to buy books in e-book, print, and hardcover. I do want to note that you should be able to order the print and the hardcover from those retailers however, there has been a little bit of trouble with the Amazon listing and as of this morning, it was still showing for pre-order even though it shouldn’t have been, and it was still not linked to the e-book. The listing is working really well through Barnes & Noble though.
Can’t wait to hear what you think of Jack’s story! This one is a fabulous adventure and thrill ride with, of course, a good dash of romance.

*****
In the desolation of the desert in 1934 Egypt, archaeologist and former codebreaker Jack Darby receives a message that upends everything: his estranged sister is missing. So is Kit—the woman he once loved and believed dead.
Determined to find them, Jack uncovers a trail of clues leading from coded newspaper articles to the dusty heart of Mesopotamia, where political unrest brews and an elusive mercenary is brokering secrets that could ignite a war.
Drawn into a tangled web of espionage, smuggling, and betrayal, Jack must outwit enemies on both sides of the law, while grappling with a dazzling con artist who just might break his heart all over again. But the closer he gets to the truth, the more he realizes some secrets aren’t meant to stay hidden—and some people aren’t meant to stay lost . . . including him.
Yaaaaaaaasssss…and my favorite side character I’ve EVER written is getting his own book, TOMORROW!
Listen, from the very first moment I wrote Jack Darby’s first line, I knew he was special, in a way I couldn’t even describe. I knew I wanted to write more about him and give him a spinoff and I’m so so so happy that so many of you loved him just as much.
So tell me, who is your favorite side character with MMC energy (other than Jack 🤣😉)? Mine is Samwise Gamgee. 🩷
Ahhhhhhhhhh, it’s Friday!!!! Omg this week COMPLETELY passed in a blur. I’ll chalk it up to the fact that I have two releases coming up and a thousand things to do for each, or the craziness of fall sports and after school activities, but this fall seems to be flying.
I’m hoping to post as much as possible the next few days about A Spark in Ashes, which I can’t believe is coming out next Tuesday!! Who are you looking forward to seeing the most in Jack Darby’s book??
Hope you have an amazing weekend!!

Time to share some character art for Carved in Crimson!! This one is particularly special because it was designed for me by my niece, Claire Bushar @thehyperchromatic! She’s been doing digital art for fun for years and I was so excited for her to design a piece based on Rykr and Seren!
