Baker Publishing Group is pleased to announce the launch of their newest imprint, Haven™, set to debut in Spring 2026. Created to meet the increasing demand for clean & wholesome fiction in the general market, Haven will provide readers with stories that offer warmth, connection, and a welcome escape. While there will be no faith element in these titles, all Haven publications will reflect the same trusted values and content standards readers have come to expect from Bethany House and Revell. With Haven, Baker Publishing Group’s goal is to broaden their reach to readers who value uplifting, feel-good fiction across multiple genres.

Haven’s inaugural release will be Even After This (February 2026; ISBN 9780800746940; Ebook ISBN 9781493451418; $18.99) by Deborah Clack, the first book in the SHELTER & SKY series. This poignant contemporary romance weaves together the lives of a celebrity and a widow, both seeking fresh starts but unable to move forward until they confront their pasts. The novel explores themes of second chances, healing, and discovering love when least expected.

Deborah Clack is a trade debut novelist, native Texan, and former high school teacher with a master's degree in education. She believes in the transformative power of fiction and dedicates her time to crafting stories filled with endearing characters and hard-fought romance. Readers can learn more at DeborahClack.com.

Following in April, Haven will release Chelsea Bobulski's historical romance novel, A Deal with a Debutante (April 2026; ISBN 9780764245251; $18.99), the first installment in the London’s Most Eligible series. Set against the backdrop of Edwardian-era England, this captivating enemies-to-lovers story combines period authenticity with witty dialogue and charming romance.

Chelsea Bobulski is the acclaimed author of two YA contemporary fantasy novels and the four-book ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS series. With a degree in history from Ohio State University, Chelsea expertly weaves historical details into her engaging narratives. Discover more of her work at ChelseaBobulski.com.

In addition to Clack and Bobulski, Haven has signed Jennie Goutet (A Love Once Lost, historical romance, June 2026), Andra Loy (The Roman Holiday Rule, contemporary romance, August 2026), and Roxanne LoMarc (Love and Other Two-Player Games, contemporary romance, December 2026). Haven is set to release six titles in both 2026 and 2027, laying a strong foundation for this exciting new venture in publishing.

President and CEO of Baker Publishing Group, Jesse Myers, stated, “The launch of Haven represents an exciting new chapter in Baker’s publishing journey. We are fully committed to serving Christian readers as we always have, but we have recognized a significant opportunity to reach readers who are searching for uplifting, wholesome fiction without faith content. Haven will fill this growing market need while maintaining the high-quality storytelling and positive values that have characterized our fiction for decades.”

With an emphasis on clean & wholesome fiction, Haven provides readers with stories they can come home to—books that offer warmth, connection, and a welcoming escape from everyday life. Sign up for the newsletter at HavenFiction.com and follow Haven on Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok @HavenFiction.
