Stories that stay with you.

Underwood & Lyle is an independent publishing house for readers who want more than just a story — they want an experience that lingers.

We publish emotionally rich fiction and thoughtful nonfiction across a spectrum of genres, from intimate romances to reflective spirituality, from page-turning thrillers to gentle reads for early learners. Every book we release is rooted in quality, voice, and the belief that storytelling is a powerful form of connection.

Our ecosystem includes imprints for diverse audiences and moods — and we’ve also expanded beyond the page. Underwood & Lyle produces two audio-first romance channels:

• Quick Love Stories — bite-sized audio romances for on-the-go listeners

• Love in Melanin — emotionally grounded love stories celebrating Black joy and connection

Whether it’s a print book, digital download, or an audiobook you stream before bed, we’re here to deliver stories that feel personal, lived-in, and lasting.

We’re not just building a catalog. We’re curating a home for storytellers and story lovers alike.
