12 New Releases // March 2026
Within the last month the 12 new releases did not keep my buying down, but 6 of the books were pre-orders, so I knew they were coming.
If you don’t know why I started doing 12 new releases, please read January’s blog post.
Below are March’s 12 new releases, spanning romance, cosy reads, literary fiction, thriller and mystery. A little bit of everything, just the way I like it.
I have included the title, author and synopsis of the books in the image above, below:
First Witches Club by Maisey Yates
“Nora, Daisy, and Soraya think their marriages are solid until their husbands prove otherwise. One asks for space at a wellness retreat, one confesses to an affair, and one accidentally sends an intimate photo meant for someone else. Heartbroken and unsure what to do next, the three women are drawn to Lady’s Mantle Apothecary, where they begin embracing long buried magic and reclaiming their power. A little revenge feels good, but the real transformation happens when they open themselves to new love, including a childhood best friend, a charming former TV star, and a mysterious shop owner. With help from an enigmatic apothecary owner, they discover that the strongest magic is not about hexes. It is about friendship, self worth, and choosing your own happily ever after.”
Across the Vanishing Sky by Catherine Cowles
“Braedyn Winslow never planned to return to Starlight Grove, the town that took everything from her, especially after her best friend vanished without a trace. But with a young son to raise and a past that refuses to stay buried, she comes back determined to uncover the truth. She does not expect to find herself drawn to her brooding, reclusive neighbour. Dex Archer is surrounded by rumours thanks to his violent father, yet beneath the silence and scowl Brae finds a fiercely loyal, unexpectedly kind man who is willing to protect her when someone starts warning her to stop digging. As danger closes in, the truth becomes harder to ignore and so do her feelings for Dex. Someone wants her search to end, but Dex will do whatever it takes to keep her safe, even if it means stepping back into the darkness he tried to leave behind.”
No Matter What by Cara Bastone
“It has been a year since Roz and Vin survived a traumatic car accident, and their marriage has never recovered. They can barely look at each other, let alone share a bed. Roz still hopes they can mend what is broken, until she discovers Vin has signed a new lease. Facing the reality of their separation, Roz signs up for a figure drawing class. Avoiding Vin would be easier if he were not her best friend’s brother, and even harder when he offers to model for her. As Roz studies the man she once knew so well, the act of seeing and being seen begins to break down the walls between them. Confronting their pain and the feelings they have buried, they must decide whether their love is truly over or if they can find a way to heal together.”
In Her Own League by Liz Tomforde
“As the first female owner in Major League Baseball, Reese Remington has worked her entire life for this moment. Smart, experienced and determined, she is more than qualified, even if the public only sees a woman in a man’s world. With critics waiting for her to fail, she cannot afford distractions. Emmett Montgomery, a former All Star turned coach, has always run the team his way. He is not thrilled about a new boss who seems all business and questions his approach. But long hours and away games force them together, and Emmett begins to see the passion and pressure driving Reese’s ambition. As sharp banter turns into undeniable chemistry, professional lines start to blur. With the season, her reputation and the team at stake, Reese knows keeping her distance is the safest play. Unfortunately, it is one neither of them seems able to make.”

“After her grandmother suffers a fall, single mother Veronica Blackthorne moves with her romcom loving teenage daughter to Mystic Hollow, Connecticut, to help save the family bookshop. Delighted to be back in New England, she quickly realises Mystic Hollow Books needs more than a little care, especially with a big box rival threatening its future.

Childhood sweethearts Rhett and Lucinda appear to have the perfect life in their small Kentucky town. But fifteen years earlier, everything nearly fell apart when newcomer Jennifer Moore arrived.

Making a move could hurt someone else, and he is not that kind of guy.”
