The Afterlight range by Illumicrate focusses on Contemporary Romance books, and there are three different types of special editions. Afterlight Special Edition boxes contain matching items next to the special edition. The selected books can be either Young Adult or Adult. Next to these boxes, Illumicrate also publishes special editions separately or in sets. These can either be standard Afterlight Special Editions (Adult Romance books) or Love Letters (Young Adult Romance books).
Non-Afterlight Contemporary Romance books
Illumicrate has published several Contemporary Romance books as part of their standard Illumicrate range, both before and after the launch of their Afterlight range (no idea why they continued after Afterlight was already created, however.). I’ve included these editions in the table below.
| Year | Author | Title |
|---|---|---|
| 2023 | Blake | Alone with You in the Ether |
| 2022 | Dade | Ship Wrecked |
| 2022 | Hazelwood | The Love Hypothesis |

| 2022 | Lo | Last Night at the Telegraph Club A Scatter of Light |

| 2022 | Quinn* | The Duke and I The Viscount Who Loved Me An Offer From an Gentleman Romancing Mr Bridgerton To Sir Philip, With Love When He Was Wicked It’s in His Kiss |
* To be fair, this set clearly isn’t “contemporary” romance as it’s a historical romance story set in an alternative version of the UK. However, it’s still more Romance than it is Fantasy in my opinion, so I’ve included it in this list anyway.
