There’s something magical about being in a room full of people who get it—who understand why a slow burn matters, why fictional love feels personal, and why stories can change the way we see ourselves. That magic is exactly what Love Bants & Signatures 2026 is all about.
On September 5, 2026, Toronto, Canada will host an intimate romance readers and authors experience designed to feel warm, intentional, and unforgettable. This isn’t a massive convention where authors are rushed and readers feel like numbers. It’s a curated gathering built around connection, conversation, and celebration.
Meet the Authors
Ten incredible romance authors will be in attendance, representing a range of voices, styles, and storytelling traditions:
- Anita Best, author of Blair’s Whsipers
- Camaa Pearl, author of Yoruba Demon: Femi
- Comfort Omovre, author of When Love Visits
- Fatima Bala, author Broken, not a halal love story
- Jessica Ferguson, author Euphoria
- L. Leigh, author A Heart of Flowers
- Mary C. Kim, author of Zyash: The Crown Prince
- Oby Aligwekwe, author of Skirts, Ties and Taboo
- Rebekah Christie, author of Pleasure Me

These are the minds behind the stories you love—stories that make you laugh, cry, blush, and believe in love again.
