Volume 2 is coming February 4, 2025!
What’s sweeter than a low angst queer romance at Valentine’s Day? How about twenty-three of them in one anthology to help support a good cause?
Each novella in Candy Hearts, volume 2, is overflowing with red-hot romance and all the good feels. This volume is all about wrong numbers—wrong phone numbers, addresses, office numbers, seats, and more. If you enjoy serendipity, then you’ll love this collection.
The Candy Hearts LGBTQIA2S+ anthology will be available for a limited time, and all proceeds will benefit the Rainbow Railroad, which helps LGBTQIA2S+ people get to safety worldwide.
Where to buy
This link above will take you to a listing on Lee Blair’s Shopify store. Orders will be delivered by BookFunnel on February 4.
Why consider this option? It functions the same as buying the ebook from Amazon, Barnes and Noble, etc., but Shopify takes a much smaller percentage to process your payment than the other retailers take for each sale. That means more money goes to the charity!
More about the Candy Hearts anthology
What is this anthology?
A group of 24 authors who write low angst, queer romance came together to raise money for charities supporting the rights of the queer community. All stories in the anthology are set at Valentine’s Day. Each story even has a “wrong number” element in some way or another. There’s a mix of tropes and subgenres. Visit the stories page to learn more about each of the stories.
How does the charity part work?
All proceeds from book sales will go to Rainbow Railroad. From their website: “Rainbow Railroad is a global not-for-profit organization that helps at-risk LGBTQI+ people get to safety worldwide. Based in the United States and Canada, we’re an organization that helps LGBTQI+ people facing persecution based on their sexual orientation, gender identity and sex characteristics.”Â
How long will it be available?
Candy Hearts will be available February 4 through March 31, 2024. At that time, the book will be pulled down from all retailers and the individual stories will return to each author to do with whatever they’d like. Don’t miss your chance to get all of these great stories!
Is there a paperback?
Candy Hearts is available in ebook only.
Can I get it from a library?
It won’t be available in libraries since the book is only on sale for a short period of time.
Will there be another volume?
That’s the plan! We hope to bring this anthology back each year with a focus on low angst, queer romances. Each year, we’ll keep the Valentine’s Day setting, but the “secret admirer” element in this first volume will change to a different twist each time.
