We’re supposed to hate each other, but I need him if I want to live.

I stole from the wrong mark— a disciple of the death god. Instead of a priceless treasure, I’m left with a killer curse. The only one who can stop it? A dark warrior known as The Sword, the most feared of all the death god’s worshippers. Wonderful.

To make things worse, he’s currently rotting in a cell for murdering the followers of my goddess. But I’ve never let a little thing like the law stop me, and I certainly won’t now, not when the most important thing to me is on the line: my life.

I manage to break The Sword out of his prison, and he swears to help me find a cure for the blood curse in return for his freedom. We have to learn to rely on one another… and manage to build a grudging respect that might just be turning into something more.

No matter what he says, though, The Sword seems to have his own agenda on my quest for the cure. If I want to live, I have to figure out his plan before it’s too late.

Trust’s never come easy to me, but betrayal’s never hurt so much.

January Bell

January Bell never imagined that daydreams about alien warlords and fated mates would one day shape her writing career—but the pull of the stars proved irresistible. Her stories aren’t just about faraway galaxies or magical forests; they’re about connection, resilience, and falling in love when the universe least expects it.

A rising voice in the realm of sci-fi romance and cozy monster fantasy, Bell has quietly built a loyal following with her immersive series and heartfelt storytelling. Her Accidental Alien Brides series blends pulse-pounding interstellar adventure with steamy romance, drawing readers into a world where language barriers, cultural clashes, and cosmic destinies make love both complicated and irresistible. Whether it’s a battle-hardened alien warrior learning to express tenderness or a human heroine rediscovering her strength, Bell's characters always feel deeply human—regardless of their species.

In contrast, her Wild Oak Woods series offers a gentler, more grounded kind of magic: think enchanted cabins, protective beastly suitors, and the quiet thrill of unexpected companionship. Across genres, what ties her work together is an unshakable belief in love that endures—and transforms.

Though she keeps her personal life as private as her protagonists’ secret pasts, Bell has hinted that her passion for storytelling began early, nurtured by sci-fi classics, fantasy epics, and the occasional fairy tale turned on its head. Her writing is known for its balance of heat and heart, often punctuated by humor and emotionally satisfying conclusions.

January Bell may not be a household name yet, but with each book she releases—whether it’s charting the stars or wandering into moonlit woods—she invites readers to believe that love is always worth the risk, even when it comes from another world.
