Novaheart
Press

Stories that feel — futures that last

A curated home for fiction that moves. We publish romance and speculative stories that center emotional truth, belonging, and the enduring power of a well-earned happy ending.

Our philosophy

Novaheart Press is a boutique, future-focused independent imprint built for readers who believe great romance is literature, and for writers who aren't afraid to prove it.

We work with a deliberately small, intentional roster of authors. That's not a limitation; it's the whole point. Every pen name under the Novaheart umbrella receives the full weight of our attention: thoughtful production, cohesive branding, and publishing strategy that actually keeps pace with the modern reader.

What stays constant: our commitment to quality, authenticity, and the readers who show up for stories time and again.

Our Writers

Curated roster
Erin Hartwell

Erin Hartwell

Sweet Contemporary · Paranormal Rom-Com

Erin Hartwell writes romance for readers who want all the butterflies with none of the heat — stories full of wit, warmth, and the occasional ghost, witch, or accidental love potion. Her contemporary romances are grounded in real feeling; her paranormal rom-coms are delightfully unhinged in the best possible way. Whether her heroines are navigating small-town awkwardness or a hex gone sideways, they always find their way to love.

Erin Wilde

Erin Wilde

Steamy Contemporary · Paranormal Romance

Erin Wilde writes steamy sports romance that turns up the heat and dares you to look away — slow-burn tension, scorching chemistry, and the payoff readers crave. Her athletes are driven, competitive, and completely unprepared for what falling in love is going to cost them. She writes steamy contemporary sports romance built on real desire and complicated feelings, and paranormal sports romance where the stakes are higher and the players aren't always human. In either subgenre, falling in love might just change everything about who they are. Her characters don't fall in love gently. They fall hard, play harder, and burn beautifully.

Ember Stone

Monster Romance · High-Heat Paranormal

Ember Stone writes high-heat monster romance for readers who want their love interests with claws, fangs, and tortured restraint. Her standalone novellas pair fierce human heroines with monsters who shouldn't be wanting them — and the dread-desire pull that follows. Atmospheric, unflinching, and built on the slow burn between fear and surrender, her stories find their way to a fated, hard-won happily ever after.
