Publisher Kathryn Taussig has acquired World All Language rights for one new book and three previously published m/m romantic comedies from bestselling author Zarah Detand. The new book will publish in ebook, paperback and audio in autumn 2026. The previously published books are Second to None, Be My Endgame and Wear It Like a Crown, which will publish in multiple formats beginning in June 2026.
Zarah Detand is the author of many bestselling gay romances. Known for slow burns with satisfying payoffs, her books feature lots of banter, a bit of spice and guaranteed happy endings. Wear It Like a Crown delivers a steamy and sweet royal romance, while Be My Endgame and Second to None continue her trademark blend of humour and warmth in the world of premier-league soccer and musical stardom.
Zarah Detand said:
“Even before my first book with Storm releases, working with them has been such a confidence boost. Their professionalism and publishing know-how mean I get to focus on what I actually love – writing – rather than stressing over production details. And Kathryn has been an absolute joy to work with throughout.”
Kathryn Taussig commented:
“I am such a superfan of Zarah’s writing, so it’s a total dream to get to publish more books by her. Her characters leap off the page with all their banter, chemistry and tangled feelings, and I’m thrilled to be bringing both a new book and some of her amazing backlist to a wider audience. Readers are in for a real treat.”
