Wednesdays are for the Cobalts 💙🔥🦁🦋

It's FINALLY that time! We have some incredibly exciting news to share on this beautiful Wednesday (we have been sweating, shaking, grinning like dorks with excitement ALL week), and now you all can feast away with the big news! We hope you're as thrilled as we are to know what's to come!!

  [image descriptions below, first posted on Instagram - check out the OG post here!]

Welcome to Boom, Krista & Becca Ritchie! 

The Cobalt Empire: New Acquisition - Bloom Books has acquired the World English print rights to The Cobalt Empire series by Krista & Becca Ritchie, a scorching hot new series featuring the Cobalt Siblings from their beloved, bestselling Addicted Series! Each of the six books will focus on a different Cobalt sibling and their steamy adventures...starting with Burn Bright in September 2025!

Burn Bright - Burn Bright is the first book in the Cobalt Empire series, releasing Sept 2, 2025.

Bloom will be publishing all English print versions. All ebooks and audiobooks will be published simultaneously with the print editions.

The deluxe edition is up for pre-order now! The "Deluxe Edition" is a North American exclusive that will come with special first print run features (TK)!

The Cobalt Empire series is going to be in bookstores!! Not only that, this is the first time ever that we've had a "deluxe edition" of any of our books. Sprayed edges? There are already tears in our eyes, and it couldn't be more perfect for the fam that loves the elegant things.

The pre-order is up for the deluxe print edition, and it'll be up for the ebook shortly!

BURN BRIGHT will be here September 2nd, 2025, and since these are being traditionally published, we have the whole series mapped out and we think you all will be so elated with the pub schedule. Bloom has been so awesome figuring out the best timing for each of these and working with us. It's an absolute dream knowing this series is going to have the best shot to succeed, and we couldn't be more grateful for all of you who've helped the Cobalts get here.

We love this world so tremendously, and we know that a six book series sounds shorter than what we typically do. But that's why we have Patreon. All the scenes that can live outside of a novel -- but are just as important to the characters -- will exist so lively and fully here.

If you have questions, we'll try our best to answer them, but we might be a little slower as we bounce between socials and as we finish up some content for Patreon (I barely have Krista any longer, so I am squeezing her tight until I have to let her go fly away with her soulmate).

All the love in every universe,

Krista & Becca

Isabella

Ben’s book will be an early birthday present for me🥹🥹 So excited!!

alex palmer

CONGRATS 💙💙💙💙 so so excited !!!!!!!

Teresa

Its exciting news for you ladies but there's only one book for each brother. How does that work? I thought you ladies would do duets at the very least but not one book. I understand not wanting to do long series again though i dont see whats wrong with it but not to even do duets 🤔. Is there a chance you will extend the series.

Hayat

Out of curiosity how would trad publishing affect Patreon? Like is there some sort of approval process you guys have to undergo to publish trad content privately?

Luna

Only one book per brother? 🥲🥲🥲 I hope they are chunky books omg

Kyara Roberson

this is exciting! not going to lie this made me a bit emotional. Feb 2025 will be ten years since i first read Kiss the Sky. The Cobalts mean so much to me 🥹🥹

Heather Wood

SO EXCITING!!! CONGRATULATIONS

Cole Williams

I’m glad you two are getting greater access to stores and new readers. Hopefully you get to tour again too 💙🖤

a

PLEASE let them be chunky books😭🙏🏼🙏🏼

Indy

Omggg so excited!!!!

Indy

I hope we can also get character notes for these because I am obsessed with the cobalt family 🤩🤩

hannah

Yes please we need chunky books! So excited for them but I am curious what that means for page count!

hannah

Congratulations! So excited for this and yall! 💙

hannah

I’m curious about this too!!

Brianna

THE WAY THIS MADE MY BIRTHDAY TEN TIMES BETTER OMG IM SO EXCITED!!

hannah

I’ve never thought about this! They are forever young in my mind!

Jenn Rohrbach

AAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!! What a way to spread holiday cheer 😄. This is so exciting!! I pre-ordered so fast I felt my head spin.

hannah

Second this! 🥰🙌🏻

Krista & Becca Ritchie

We've only sold our paperback rights -- we've retained the ebook rights for the series. So technically, we're hybrid (still indie), and we've already received the okay to publish whatever we want on Patreon 💖

hannah

I immediately ran to preorder!

Hayat

Gotcha! Thank you and congrats!

Ellieeeee

How excitinggggg, congratulations 💙🦁 Do you know when we’ll be able to see the deluxe edition? ✨✨

Krista & Becca Ritchie

This was the best shot for the series to enter bookstores, and we want the best for it. And we fully intend to write so much content on Patreon 🥰 we wouldn't be able to keep it at 6 books without Patreon.

Hooran

Now that we got this .. is there any chance that we are getting those secret boards this week too 👀?

Krista & Becca Ritchie

We don't think we'll be able to do Deluxe Editions in our signed store since it's a limited print run. So your best bet is to preorder and then see us at a signing 💗

Hooran

Try barnes and noble?

Kyle

Krista! Becca! This is so exciting! Bloom has become one of my favorite publishers recently and I’m so happy you both are joining them!

Mary

PRE ORDERED IMMEDIATELY

Jaimie Runner

The squeal I let out!! I can’t wait to start this series 💖

Zeynep

so excited and so glad there will be patreon bonuses since it's 1 book each from what i gathered 🥹🫂

Krista & Becca Ritchie

It will change, but it's either going to be another similar version that we've made (similar to the updates to the Addicted covers for Berkley) OR it's going to be completely different and one they've made -- we haven't seen their cover, so we don't know which it'll be yet. But stay tuned!! We're excited there'll be another fun announcement!! We're hoping with the blurb, too 💗

Krista & Becca Ritchie

All we can say without spoiling is that it picks up right where Frog & Quinn's romance is going to leave off 💗

addy!!!!

i wonder how this will work out? one book per couple/brother seems new!!…

ariel

SEPT 2025 I'M SO READY

Kristin McCall

So so happy for you both about this announcement. It’s a little sad for us re timing etc, but obviously worth it for you all!!!! Can’t wait for Sept 2!

Jennifer H

SO exciting and proud of you guys!!! How long will the deluxe version be open for preorder? I’m not sure where I’ll be living in September of 2025 haha. Thanks!!

Rohita

Is the deluxe edition just going to be sprayed edges or is it also going to include bonus content?

G

I’m so excited for the cobalts! I just looked on Amazon uk and saw the cover isn’t on there. Does this mean it will be different to the one you announced before? I would hate to see it change as that one is so beautiful and fits so well with the addicted series 💙

Teresa

I have a question ladies, I don't pay much attention to how the whole publishing world works , so I wanted to know is there a page limit to how many you can have in a book. I like your chunky books and was wondering if the page limit has to be lower? Hope that question made sense😅

Arrow

This is wonderful news! I’m always so sad when I don’t see the Like Us series in bookstores because of how Bookstores tend to shy away from indie publications. A part of me wishes for a mega multi-book saga for each character (I love them so much!!!), but I’m actually super excited for this decision. Keeping it shorter and set at six will make sure that it doesn’t stale with readers. Also, I really think this will help you both attract new readers and expand your fanbase. The whole concept for this series is just fantastic. I can really see this just becoming a huge hit. And. at the end of the day, the bigger the hit, the more you can both continue writing!!! So thrilled!! Plus - 6 books - does this mean Audrey might be getting one?! (!Eeek!) And maybe the new readers will bring so much attention to your work that someone will want to trad publish the Like Us series, even if it seems so unwieldy - like what happened with the Addicted/Calloway sister series! Plus! Another thought! Does this mean you will both be able to do more signings in bookstores?! There are so many new possibilities with this announcement. I’m just so thrilled for you both as authors and as a reader.

Krista & Becca Ritchie

Thank you so much for all the support!! It means so, so much to us 🥹❤️ It's definitely more possible with the Like Us series to be picked up if our other books sell well. It's a bigger risk since it's a thirteen book series, so it's more unlikely, but we always keep the hope alive! It would be amazing if the Cobalt Empire gained new readers 🥰 That was such a blessing when we first wrote the Like Us series -- seeing readers pick it up without having read anything else of ours and enjoy it so much. We're hoping the same can be said with CE. Yes we plan to do more signings at bookstores, too! This deal definitely gives the series more possibilities to shine and opens more windows to fly through. Our hearts are so full *hugs tight* thank you for lifting our spirits!

Krista & Becca Ritchie

For Berkley, they've never instilled a page limit on us. Destructively Mine is in the 500 page-count range, and we have a really good feeling Bloom will be the same. Our goal is to write what the story calls for without dragging it down. So basically we're going to do what we always do 😆 Being trad doesn't really change our creative process

Dasha

I’m excited! but also i’m worried that you’ll have a strict page limit and we’ll have really short books for Cobalts. I want to read thousand of pages featuring them 🩵

Luna

I really connected with KBR books since the Addcited series bc they write beyond the couple getting together…( and it was what set them apart from other romance authors for me) I honestly can’t believe the highly anticipated cobalt brother series will only have one book per couple 💔 I know Patreon exists but is not the same as having more books. For example , it’s been ages since Jane’s Books and we even haven’t read about her wedding yet 😭😭😭 I’m happy for KBR for getting this deal but it sucks for the cobalt fans that wanted every single detail of their favorite character love story ( like Marrow , Kitsuletti, and Lunnelly had 🥲🥲🥲) but I get that this their livelihood and sometimes a business decision is more important than doing a fan service.

Remy

Is FrogQuinn Chapter 4 coming soon?

lex

i’m so excited! it might be a change but i think being trad published is amazing for where you guys are in your career right now. you get to share the series with more people, have set timelines, and the sky’s the limit with creativity! i can’t wait to see how everything plays out and i have faith it will be amazing

S

Congratulations this is huge!

fabi

Congratulations!! this is soo exciting, im so happy for you both🫶 more excited than ever to read, getting my pre-order now🥹💙🦋

lex

and i think one book each is such an interesting change! luna’s last book was my favorite in like us because it was so long and it felt like everything single thing mattered. one long book with extra bonuses on the patreon seems like a really solid way to maintain character development and give us epic romances even if they don’t have multiple books

Angelina (Charlies version) ♟️

AHHHHHH!!! Honestly the best news!!! IM SO HAPPY ABOUT THE RELEASE DATE I CANNOT WAITT FOR MY BELOVEDS TO BE IN STORES 😍😍 and I love how much possibility this development affords!!!

Shelby Keating

So this means Audrey’s book is included in the CE series???

Lauren Gibbs

This is AMAZING news!!! Congrats Becca and Krista, you both deserve the whole world! ✨️😍👏🏻❤️

.

Not to be annoying but i wonder what does this mean for xander and kinney or other kids 😭

Krista & Becca Ritchie

We likely won't have a strict page limit for them. We never got told a page limit for the Webs We Weave series, and we made the second book over 500 pages. We think longer books have become more normal in trad ☺️ (thankfully bc we love a chunky book!)

JT

I’m so excited!! Question though is if Audrey is part of the cobalt empire, does it mean that the girls squad series is completely off the table?

Krista & Becca Ritchie

It's very much still on the table! We plan to write the girl squad series (and Xander's romance) 🩷

Abby (Eliot’s version)

This is so thrilling and I am sooo proud of you two for everything you’ve chosen to do with these characters!! Your heart and passion flow through every word, every page, and I can’t wait to see how it translates to the characters and story in all of CE and on Patreon 💙 I’m so freaking excited for you guys and for us!! All the love to you both 💕✨

Krista & Becca Ritchie

It'll either be a version of the cover we made (much like how Berkley went with our covers for the Addicted series but slightly tweaked them) or it'll be something completely new. We don't know yet, but we can't wait to see what they come up with!

Krista & Becca Ritchie

We're not sure we can speak on that yet. There'll likely be a big cover reveal with all this info ❤️

Krista & Becca Ritchie

Thank you!!! ❤️ And hmmm, we're actually not so sure about this! It might be all the way until the release. I'd have to check with Krista to be sure. Good question!

Krista & Becca Ritchie

We hope sooner than later!! But we don't have an exact timeframe for the cover reveal

Krista & Becca Ritchie

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BRIANNA 🥳🥳 *tosses confetti every which way* we hope it's magical!!

Krista & Becca Ritchie

Omg the character notes are going to be so much fun to create. I can already see Eliot's now 🤣 We might have to make multiple and just have some sibling ones where Eliot pops in lolol

Briana💫

Congratulations!! This is so EXCITING 😆 I can’t wait to read about the cobalts 🦁💙 So proud of you girls🫶🏽

Krista & Becca Ritchie

Thank you so much, madzz (your comment made the eyes spring a leak 🥹 we very much appreciate you)

G

Ah I really hope they stick with how you made it or along the lines of the addicted series! I know cartoon character covers are popular at the moment but the cover you made is so so beautiful I actually gasped when I saw it and I think it would make it stand out so much in bookstores and not look like everything else coming out. Fingers crossed they stick with it 🤞🏽

Krista & Becca Ritchie

Thank you so, so much 🥹 we are so excited for all of you to read this series and keep seeing all the family dynamics and the romances blossom! It fills our hearts knowing so many of you love the characters as much as we do 🩷🩷

Rohita

Ahh I’ll keep my eyes out for that then, thank you!

TM

i absolutely believe in you guys about writing a meaningful book with just one for each character and that you can do an incredible job because i love every book you guys create. i mean i love oscar and jack and they only have one book. im just sad because i love the long moments and scenes that seem unimportant in a trad romance where the characters are just together battling challenges that come up together rather than challenges that threaten their relationship. they are always so solid and i love the sheer amount of these scenes and moments that you guys include where the couple is just together and we get to see them happy in their relationships. these moments usually come in the second or third book for a character. i want so many of these scenes and in the first book these feel like they might get pushed away. i’m hoping for extra surprise books lol!! i have so much faith in you guys and i am so freaking excited you guys are going to be trad published with this series because you guys deserve the huge amount of credit for your work that this will bring you!!! and everyone deserves to read about the cobalts but yeah im just a little sad that we might lose out on those types of moments. plus i love a long drawn out series because the more the better so im sad it’s so short especially with the characters im arguably the most excited to read about. Im still stoked to read anything you guys create and congratulations!! I have full faith and trust in the both of you as you always make something incredible 💕💕september can’t come soon enough!

Teresa

Will you ladies be able to write a SKOP type epilogue novel for all the cobalts at the end of the series or maybe just a seperate standalone novel ?

Olivia Olson

OMG I'm so excited!!! Congrats to you both🫶🏻💙!! I already know this will be a favorite series of mine just because of how much I love the Cobalts 😭 How soon can we expect a confirmation of the love interest and a blurb for Burn Bright? And will that time schedule be the same for the other books?

Lauren Johnson

SO EXCITED!!😆✨💓 My question is are we likely to get more interactions with the Cobalts and their love interests in their brothers books before/after their book? For example Roxanne/Charlie and Beckett/Joana/Leo interactions in their brothers books before or after their books publish?💙🔥🦋

Carrie

Yea super excited for you guys, this is wonderful and shows how special you are that they are willing to take on your new series! But man please let them all be chunky 700 page books, especially for Beckett Leo and Jo! (Also please say they are letting you keep those three together!). I need all the details with all the kids! So excited but those long books with the details is part of what makes you guys special so definitely don’t want to lose that. But congrats so much!

ann.nonymous

Wow this is the best news! I was wondering since this is going to be traditionally published, will the books be released once a year for the cobalt empire? Congrats again!!!!

Sherri Caddell

I am so excited and I can not wait until I can order my special edition. Sign me up for all 6. Woot woot

Nini

congratulations krista and becca so glad this is happening i have one question and please answer me if its rude im sorry but is there anyyyy way to charlie get more than 1 book? 🫂 please just answer so i will know

Elara

Yay!!! So excited 🎉. Will be expecting one release a year with them being traditionally published?

Isobel

yay so excited!! congratulations!💘

Carrie

Also yea just ordered my deluxe version. Does this mean too that they will do deluxe versions for each book, or is that like a decision book by book that they make.

Abby (Eliot’s version)

Just imagine one but only with the Cobalts POVs (cause 6 is easier than 13 🫣)… I’d love that 😍

Teresa

Exactly 💯 my thoughts 😄

Bea (never.stopreading)

Congratulations! You deserve everything and more. I love your books with every fibre of my being and I can't wait for the Cobalt empire era 🦁💙 The past few years have been rough for me, but even when I'm at my lowest low, your characters/new content on Patreon/the friendships I created thanks to the Addictedverse can make my day lighter. Thank you so much! (and don't even pay attention to rude people people 🙄 they're not worth it)

Mads

So happy for you girls! I can't wait to learn and hear more from the Cobalt brothers 💕 Waiting a year feels like death sentence at this point but good things are worth the wait 💖 😍😘

Ashley Boothe

Can't wait!! And so happy for your success!

Illyana

Oh interesting! And congratulations ❤️❤️❤️ Does this mean that each relationship will get only one book? Or will it be like the addicted / like us format? 🤓

Lily💌

omg this is amazing!!! congratulations!! so so so deserved❤️❤️

Abby (Eliot’s version)

One book per Cobalt with what sounds like tonnnns of supplemental scenes on Patreon 💙

hannah

Just coming back to say that I’m so excited and happy for y’all! You have created this incredible world and the most incredible characters! I am literally “addicted”. It is so fun to be on here and follow / be apart of this journey yall are on! This is such an awesome opportunity and I can’t wait to see this series come to life! I know it will be better than anything anyone one of us could think up or imagine! ❤️🥰

Kyle

Wait, so is it a different cover than what was in the back of nobody like us?

Elaine Chamberlin

Congratulations!!! So excited for this series. My favorite family!♥️

Katie Wootan

So beyond excited for the two of you. I have a feeling this series is going to be huge! And the special edition already has me drooling. Cannot wait for the two amazing releases next year!!!

Abigail

Ahhh this is so exciting!!! Congrats!!

Jay

So excited September can't come soon enough! Just pre ordered, I'm sure I'll devour the book within 24hrs of it releasing as I usually do with all your novels! I remember in a podcast you mentioned you probably wouldn't be keen on traditional publishing again, just interested is that what Bloom is and assuming it's the best choice for you guys for the series to land in book stores as you mention in other comments on this thread? I hope we don't have to wait too long in between release dates for each book!

Tammy

OMG I can’t wait !!!! I just preordered now it needs to hurry up and be September already 😀

Krista & Becca Ritchie

Hi Laura!! It's going to be one book for each Cobalt sibling BUT with the way we write, there are arcs that aren't contained to just one book just because it's the POV. We look at all of our series like the characters are real people and have lives that do not stop, so you won't be saying goodbye to characters (and their issues) even when you switch POVs, if that makes sense 💙💙 The way we've envisioned it, we think it's going to be a really epic six book series. And we're not really changing up the way that write. We CRAVE so much, even moments/dynamics/relationships that extend beyond the romance (which is pretty much known lol 😆)

Krista & Becca Ritchie

This means so much to us to hear, Bea! We love that our books can be comfort reads and brighten your days. Makes our hearts so happy to know! *hugs tight*

Krista & Becca Ritchie

Nope. All we can say is the schedule is faster paced than that. It won't take 6 years to complete the series.

Sascha

I have all the faith in the world you will do wonders with this series!!! You never fail me!! Also shorter series means i’m closer to a Lunnelly epilogue book ☺️🫶 Kidding of course… sorta

Teresa

Hi ladies, will Ben's LI be revealed this year or will that be revealed in the new year?

Krista & Becca Ritchie

It's likely going to be a book-by-book decision and made on how well Burn Bright sells 💙

Krista & Becca Ritchie

It's going to be very similar to how we always write -- where all the characters are heavily involved in storylines, and their lives don't end just because the POVs switch 💙☺️

Krista & Becca Ritchie

These announcements are things we have to time with Bloom! But once the cover is finalized, we *think* we'll be revealing the blurb with it 💙

Krista & Becca Ritchie

We can't really say yes or no as of right now. That door might be open when we get there. We'll see!

Sarah E. Green

SCREAMING AT THE TOP OF MY LUNGS THE BIGGEST CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! Im actually crying the biggest happy tears for you both and this new chapter you’re taking us on!!! 💙💙💙💙

Krista & Becca Ritchie

We LOVE all of those moments you described too! You put into words exactly how we feel about them. We crave them so much, and that's another reason why we're so grateful Patreon exists so we can add even more here, too. We believe the books will be 100% fulfilling in the same way the other series are because we're still writing exactly what we love. We're not going to write a skeleton of a story. All the meat and bones will be there 💙💙💙

Mz. Chop it Up Walker

There isn't enough letters, phrases numbers or special character to express myself. September will be here quick but not fast enough

Jess

Super beyond excited!!!! Congratulations!!!

TM

I absolutely cannot wait!! anything from you guys brings me so much joy so i couldn’t be more excited for this trad pub opportunity for you guys and the cobalts books! 💕

S (Charlie's version)

They are my fav family !!!! I can't wait for this !!! I wish it was longer !!!

Marg

The way I just screamed !! I'm soooo excited omg and all 6 are confirmed 😭 😍

a

is it going to be interconnected standalones or a continuous series where u have to read each book?

Miranda

For Burn Bright will you be doing personalized books on your website again with character notes?

Dami

its getting released on my birthday?? this has to be the best thing ever 🥹😭♥️ I’m excited to get them back

Abby (Eliot’s version)

I’ve never seen them do a series where you can pick up one without reading the others before it so I’d say an interconnected series… they mentioned continuous story arcs that will flow through the books and not be finished completely in just one… I do know they’re marketing it like you don’t need to read Addicted and LU before picking up CE but I’d say you couldn’t start at like book 3 and get the FULL picture of the world/stories, if that makes sense… like the romance is a stand-alone but the book should be read contextually or you miss stuff… feels kinda like a hybrid of the two you mentioned?? But they’d need to answer to be 100% positive!! Just my thoughts 🥰

Abby (Eliot’s version)

The closest they got is picking up Calloway Sisters without having read Addicted cause you’d have a complete picture but they started those as two separate but interwoven series… CE feels more like one complete series that should be read in order but that could be my bias at not ever being able to even start a standalone series in the middle and I couldn’t imagine reading book 3 without having read the first two even if they weren’t needed, which I feel like you will need to in CE to get the family aspect and overarching storylines!! 💙

Shelby Keating

So is the OG burn bright cover off the table then??

Miné

Exactly! And the more old they get the sadder it makes me 🥹

Miné

❤️ thank you

seren

CONGRATULATIONS! what an achievement and so deserved! you both work so hard, I’m so excited 💖

minasxreads

This has already made my 2025 thank you sm queens🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️🫶🏼🫶🏼🦋🦋 I was also wondering if there’d be an option to purchase personalized characters once the books are out?

Demi Alexander

I cannot even tell you how excited I am!!! This is such a dream come true, congratulations!! 💖 Not to be greedy but will the girl squad and Xander also get their own books eventually?

Abby (Eliot’s version)

Someone else asked the other day and they said that it’s still the plan to have the GS series and also Xander all get books!! They don’t know the timing, of course, but it’s always a desire and thought for them!! I can’t see them leaving the second gen unfinished and stories still on the table for them to write and us to read 🥰

Abby (Eliot’s version)

They mentioned that they would probably adapt or change the cover while working with Bloom… it could be like how Berkley changed the covers for the new editions but didn’t do so drastically but they’re not sure yet so we’ll see what the final result with Bloom and KBR comes out to be!!

Krista & Becca Ritchie

We won't be able to do them for the deluxe edition since it's a limited edition, but likely we will be able to after that. So if you want the deluxe edition, we highly recommend preordering xoxo

Krista & Becca Ritchie

It'll be the new year. I (Becca) can't reveal this without Krista, so it'd 100% have to be next year.

Shelby Keating

Got it, I must have missed where they said that. Definitely excited to see what it is, hope they are allowed to show it soon! Also hoping they’ll be able to 100% confirm ben’s LI soon, I’m dying for any snippets lol
