Love–and passion–really do conquer all.

StarLords, Book 1

When a defenseless planet is besieged by the collective's armada, the Circe races to the rescue–only to discover a missing piece of Jeri's past on the wrong side of the battle. And that combining her formidable new powers with Micah's may win the day, but cost her everything…

Product Warnings: This book contains scenes of ménage a trois et quartre, some exhibitionism, a bit of voyeurism, and love in space and on land.

Oh, the delicious peril of deception…

Lady Marianne Gillingham has no intention of ending her affair with David Dunscombe, Earl Harrington, despite his pending nuptials. She craves his attentions, and he satisfies her deepest yearnings.

She never expected Annabelle to prove so resilient and surprisingly easy–not to mention delicious–to corrupt. Or that the ensuing erotic tangle would be impossible to put right without heartbreak.

Product Warnings: Loosen your stays and have your fan at hand. Plumes and floggers, along with some other leather devices, were employed in the creating of this erotic tangle. Contains Georgian ladies behaving badly, often with each other. M/F/F, M/F, F/F action herein.

He's the one problem she can't solve.

As her suddenly skittish clients teeter on the edge of cancellation, Claire challenges her nemesis to imagine long-term as something more than a quickie and a vague promise to call. Ryder counters with a challenge of his own. Let him give her a taste of just how fulfilling a little no-strings-attached passion can be.

Product Warnings: This product contains cold feet, heavy petting, heavier breathing, and chocolate-covered fingers. To avoid a sweet-tooth side-effect, the author recommends having a chocolate-covered man nearby.

The boys are back in town…

As tensions run high, Kaelin can't resist the temptation to commit one crazy act of rebellion. Once the web of secrets, sins and lies starts to unravel, though, their lives will never be the same…

Product Warnings: This book contains a nice girl who gets her naughty on with two hot men. M/M/F and M/M scenes may cause an increase in body temperature, pulse rate and respiration. Read with caution! For adult use only.

A love to last a lifetime…or a dream turned to ash?

Spells, Secrets and Seductions, Book 3

All his life, Ryan's dreams have taken him backward in time. As he matured, so did those dreams–erotic fantasies of a woman he loves but has yet to meet. Then he finds her in Burnt Cove. But she's not only holding him at arm's length, she refuses to acknowledge their time-proof bond.

On a magical Samhain night, undeniable desire is stronger than the walls around her heart. But time has one last test for them–one that will meld them into one, or drive them apart forever.

Product Warnings: This book contains a simple candle-magick spell, a hunky fireman, past lives, lost lovers and enough heat to start a bonfire.

You can't keep a good Secret for long.

Secret McQueen, Book 2

Just a few things stand in her way: a secretive Tribunal leader, a group of would-be vampire slayers and two werewolf boyfriends who refuse to let her operate in her customary lone-wolf style. Even less amusing are the terrifying creatures that someone is using in an attempt to gain control of the council. Even for this out-of-the-ordinary bounty hunter, it's a challenge with potentially deadly teeth.

Product Warnings: Contains an ever-plucky heroine with no shortage of weapons, super-hot mind games, an ever-complicated love triangle and one hell of a creepy amusement park.

Adolescent fantasies can grow into very adult realities.

Bandicoot Cove, Book 4

When Ben arrives at the resort determined to win Sienna back, finding another man in her bed kind of throws a spanner in the works. But he isn't deterred. Rather than admit defeat, he comes up with an alternative plan: Let Sienna sleep with both men–at the same time. Then she can make an informed decision as to which man she wants.

Sienna shouldn't want to go through with this shockingly sexy plan, but she does. Desperately. Except after the sexual storm passes, she could have it all…or be left holding an empty heart.

Product Warnings: Contains a suggestion beyond risqué, a solution beyond orgasmic, and two men who know how to play dirty. Really, really dirty.

This time, he's not giving her up without a fight.

The Maison Chronicles, Book 2

As their attraction reignites, Hope is transported back to the sub-space bliss she felt only with Gabe. Then a nightmare from her past shows up at the club, and with no other safe place to turn, she has no choice but to trust Gabe with her shame. Leaving Gabe with a devastating choice–reveal his last secret…or lose his Hope.

Product Warnings: This book contains a feisty interior decorator, a dominating leather worker, heart-wrenching sex and redemption.

When the boat's a rockin', don't come knockin'!

After all, in less than a week, Dan's going back to his London diet of casual hook-ups and friends with benefits.

Determined not to fall in love, both men dive into one week of indulgence…only to find themselves drawn deep into an undertow of escalating intimacy and emotional intensity. Troubled waters neither of them expected…or wanted.

Product Warnings: Contains one lovable tart, one posh boy gone feral, rough sex, alfresco sex, vile strawberry-flavoured condoms, intimate body piercings, red thermal long-johns, erotic woodchopping, an errant cat, a few colourful characters you wouldn't touch with a bargepole, and plenty of messing about on the river.

Dying is hard enough. Coming back to life is brutal.

Grimm's Circle, Book 5

Silence feels a darkness is looming. Change–something he has every reason not to welcome. The deeply hidden memories that robbed him of his past, of his own name, render him unfit to teach anyone the ways of the Grimm. Yet here he is in the dankest sex club in town, waiting to assume his charge–after he stands by and watches her die.

When Vanya awakes, their complicated, dangerous dance begins. And so does something else–a searing need that blisters along their unexpected mental connection. Silence shouldn't be drawn to his student, but once they touch, he can't think of a reason to stop. Even though acting out their darkest desires puts them in more danger than they realize.

Product Warnings: This book contains sex-starved demons, lonely angels, demon-angel sandwiches, blood, violence, death and a happy-ever-after.

Their wolves are howling at the moon. Their human halves are on different planets.

Takhini Wolves, Book 1

When Gemmita Jacobs steps off the plane in Whitehorse, Yukon, it's about more than her caribou research project. It's her declaration of independence from an overprotected upbringing. Except there's something in the air she can't quite define–something that unexpectedly rouses her mating instincts.

Moments after their eyes lock, the deed is done–and done thoroughly. When the pheromone dust settles, though, all the reasons they don't belong together become painfully clear.

It's enough to make a wolf learn a whole new set of cuss words…

Product Warnings: Two strong wolves getting exactly what they deserve. Includes wilderness nookie, shifters being naughty in public places, the Midnight Sun as a canopy for seduction and grizzly shifters on the loose. Oh, and don't forget the sarcasm.

If you love something, set it free. If it comes back to you…run.

Elisa, determined to be nothing more than friends, tries fixing Liam up with Windy Flats' most eligible women. Yet the old passion still simmering between them melts her resolve, and uncovers secrets that refuse to stay buried. Secrets that put both their hard-earned futures–and their hearts–at risk.

Product Warnings: Paranormal? No. Sci-fi? Nothing otherworldly here. Just a sinfully gorgeous vet who loves animals, and knows how to turn a gal inside out with supremely mushy love scenes? Oh, absolutely!

One devilish night…or a chance at heaven?

Lone Star Lovers, Book 5

Ellie thought she'd be a dried up old spinster before Johnny finally untangled his tongue long enough to ask for a date. But instead of teaching him better uses for that tongue, his brothers have whisked her away to the ranch. At first she's furious…then intrigued when she starts to wonder what it might be like to have not just one sexy cowboy dedicated to her pleasure, but four…

Product Warnings; Four handsome cowboys. Four choices. Will it be a single sordid night or a chance at heaven as she savors every luscious inch of the Logan brothers?

Four people. One rope. Desire plunged into dangerous obsession…

The Onic Empire, Book 5

At first Errion is pleased that Farjika has roused Lorren out of his funk. When he notices the depth of the mutual fascination, though, he realizes he must act quickly–or lose his sometime lover and best friend.

His plan to eliminate the threat is perfect in its beautiful complexity. Until one snag in his delicate web of seduction plunges them all into a potentially deadly tangle with no way out…

Product Warnings: Contains humor, masturbatory robots, mystical BDSM, stern punishments and more variations on m/m/m/f than the author can count. Sex toys are not included with purchase but are strongly recommended.

Curiosity never killed this cat, but love could have deadly consequences.

While Neal seems happy to satisfy Sasha's insatiable curiosity about the erotic scenes played out in the club's private rooms, Sasha senses his new lover is holding something back.

When the truth claws its way out amid a night of tribal blood and violence, Neal discovers his lover has a secret of his own. And that the forces arrayed against them all could make a mugging look like a walk in the park…

The decadence of Bourbon Street is beckoning…

Hot in the City, Book 1

Jack's normally a keep-it-casual guy, but as nights with Liz get hotter, so do Jack's feelings for the seductive woman in his arms. Bourbon Street decadence beckons and Liz embarks on a sizzling journey of sexual awakening that has her more willing to shed her inhibitions minute by carnal minute. But someone else has noticed her insatiable appetite for sensual adventure, someone who's just beginning to realize what he's lost–and who's determined to tear Jack and Liz apart…

This book has been previously published.

Product Warnings: Contains sizzling hot sex any way she wants it–and a man (or two) more than willing to show her the ropes. Let the good times roll, baby!

From zero to sixty in a heartbeat–if she doesn't throttle him first.

Extreme Racing, Book 1

She's sworn off tall, dark and handsome men. Too bad the desert heat is making her hyperventilate like a hormone-crazed teenager.

Despite her makeup-free face and ready-to-go attitude–a far cry from the high-maintenance women he's used to–Bryce Danvers doesn't expect CJ to last an hour. To his surprise, she toughs out the entire day. The least he can do is show his appreciation with some fast food and a friendly kiss.

The instant their lips connect, warning klaxons go off in CJ's head. He's a taste of heaven she can't afford to sample again. Bryce finds himself wanting to give her generous curves a bumper-to-bumper inspection. And his focus on the checkered flag shot all to hell.

Product Warnings: If you like your stories PG-13, this is not the book for you. If you like Boy Scout race car drivers with clean-cut reputations, you should pass. And if you like to breathe while reading, steer clear. Love, laughter and hot, hot, hot sex scenes will leave you gasping for air.

One sub to please the Master…in any way he wishes.

Victor Connagher is no stranger to the Dallas BDSM scene. As CEO of a risqué cable channel that caters to adventurous adults, he ensures the lifestyle is portrayed in a positive light. He even supports a local bondage club. Yet behind the cool, confident mask, Victor lives in fear.

Week after week, as Shiloh fearlessly challenges the real Victor to come out of hiding, he realizes his past mistake was only a blow to his pride. If he loses Shiloh, he could lose his heart.

If she's a tree fairy, how come he's the one with the wood?

Afterglow, Book 2

A suspicious fire in Pandora's apartment drives Cheney's suspicion that she's being stalked by a very real threat. Bringing her under protection is the only option, even though proximity means there's no way to fight the searing passion erupting between them.

Cheney's instincts are spot-on, though. A madman with a taste for unnatural selection has a plan for Pandora. The only way to fight it is trust themselves, their powers…and each other.

Product Warnings: Refrigerate after opening. This book contains scenes of magic, illusion and scorching hot fairy sex. There are also a few murders, a super sexy cop, a giggle or two, and a tip of the hat to Mother Nature. It is, of course, fiction, but was written using 100% organically grown words.

Good girls can play rough too…

Rough Riders, Book 10

The sexual heat that's always simmered between them ignites. Brandt is determined to make the temporary situation permanent, proving to Jessie he's a one-woman man. And Jessie is shaken by feelings she's sworn never to have again for any man…especially not a McKay.

Wild. Raw. Ready for anything…but are they ready for love?

Wild Cat
Alexandra and her best buddy, Conner, jump at the chance to track down a cattle-killing werecat, determined to clear the cloud of suspicion hanging over her brother. While hunting for the same killer, Dirk discovers Alex examining the latest bovine victim–and shifts his goals to include her mile-long legs wrapped around his waist.

Trigger-happy hunters send them all into hiding, where huddling for warmth turns hotter than expected. The heat burns away any pretense that this is a sexual romp. It's a destined love that a killer could destroy…unless Alex makes a heartbreaking choice.

Product Warnings: Contains claws, fangs and blatant sexual encounters. The sex is wild, raw and untamed, just like the men.

Something dead this way comes…

That Old Black Magic, Book 1

Jemma's been dealt a double whammy: she's just discovered she's a witch. And Griff has been hiding whiskers and a tail. Oh, and if her life wasn't crazy enough, a dead voodoo queen needs her blood to raise a legion of zombies.

There's one plan that might work to increase Jemma's powers so she can put an end to the looming holocaust. A sexy threesome with Griff and Logan Scott, a werewolf familiar with a history of rubbing Griff's fur the wrong way. A cat and a wolf playing nice, much less sharing? It'll take a miracle.

Product Warnings: A witch, tiger and wolf doing naughty things. A dead voodoo queen doing evil things. And zombies doing zombie things. Get your shovels ready.

Something wilder than a nor'easter is brewing off the coast of Maine…

Undertow
Harsh experiences prepared Victor for anything–except resisting Simone, a young refugee who rouses his inner wolf. The last thing he wants is to be just the next man who uses her.

Once adrift, Simone is fired by the chance to broker peace between werewolves and European wizards. Yet her instincts–the same ones that led to trouble before–keep drawing her back to Victor.

When a storm traps them together during a full moon, she breaks through his walls so easily the question is no longer how Victor will stay away, but how he'll let her go…

Product Warnings: This book contains epic battles, criminal activities, inappropriate passion on a kitchen counter, improbable (but legal) activities on a lobster boat during a nor'easter, and slightly less legal, instinct-driven sex in someone else's summer cottage.

If you go casting love spells, be careful what you wish for.

Spells, Secrets and Seductions, Book 1

Deputy Ryland Stone's past keeps him firmly rooted in reality. Then he meets Rhiannon and sparks literally fly. One date leads to another, and then they're practically setting the bedroom on fire…until she reveals the deal breaker.

Though love and magick have found Rhiannon at last, getting a handle on her newly unleashed power is the least of her problems. Unless Ryland accepts that magick exists, he will never accept her for who and what she is.

Product Warnings: This book contains a simple candle-magick spell, which you use at your own risk, a disastrous date, phone sex, and enough sizzle to practically set the sheets on fire.

There's no escaping the man at the heart of his memories.

When an opportunity arises to enjoy a once-in-a-lifetime getaway to a private island resort, David never suspects a trap is about to be sprung. One where he'll be forced to face the truths from which he's been hiding–and the man from whom he's never stopped running.

Product Warnings: This book contains erotic waffles, sexual math, blatant ABBA worship, kidnapping, nude napping, dog-napping, journal hijacking, betrayal, redemption, and red-hot man love so poignant and passionate, you won't know whether to say "awwwwwww" or "oooooohhh!"

When this deal breaks, Heaven will fall.

Heaven Corp, Book 1

Demons on his doorstep are nothing new for Jeff Werth. Ever since they saved his daughter's legs, they've been calling in their marker. In exchange for his services–nursing Gabe back to health so they can use him as a pawn in their war with Heaven–they'll consider the debt paid in full. Except having a powerless angel at his mercy feeds a rising desire that has him rethinking the deal.

Then the de-haloed Gabe begins having dreams that become visions…then memories. Until he's not sure whose side he's on. Heaven, or the simple family man who healed his broken wings…and made his heart whole.

Product Warnings: The sexual awakening of an angel, some wing porn, abuse of heavenly clichés and a dog who steals the show.

She thought she had a life–until being hunted shows her she's never really lived.

Savage Australia, Book 2

Trouble is, Marshall hadn't counted on Jackie's brutal right cross. Or the fact that her simmering sexuality calls to his inner wolf on every imaginable level. And that the killer is about to use their desire to add them both to his trophy case…

Product Warnings: This title contains the following: explicit sex out in the bush, wild shifter sex in an abandoned shack, passionate sex in a hotel shower.

Paintbrush, Book 2

Quint Walters knows a wounded animal when he sees one. Sexy, secretive Gillian shows all the signs of a grown-up runaway. He should know, he's spent his life running from his father's expectations. Her magic touch leaves him wanting more, and as she waits for car repairs, she seems to fit naturally into small-town life, and his heart. Except she resists all his efforts to get at her core.

One mishap after another makes it seem like Fate is conspiring to throw Gillian in Quint's path–and into his arms. The heat they generate, though, isn't enough to drown out the nagging feeling that the past is about to smoke her out of hiding…

Product Warnings: Sparks that ignite the whole town, dangerous secrets and some much-deserved butt-kicking.

It's not every day a woman faces down the bitch who owns her man's soul.

Elementals, Book 1

Product Warnings: This adventure is blatantly Scottish and dives into save-the-world sex with two of the hunkiest magical men you'll ever meet.

Secretly wanting her–no problem. Her not-so-secretly wanting him–big trouble.

The Bradfords, Book 3

When Mac's plan to drive her away works too well, he's forced to follow her to a tropical paradise, determined to make sure she doesn't find her wild side with anyone but him. Once she gets a real taste of what he likes, he's sure everything will go back to normal.

She vows to protect her heart…until love burns away her resistance.

Régine Laflamme rules as the Queen of Fire, the Paris demimonde's most notorious and accomplished courtesan. Wealthy men shower her with riches and vie to become her next conquest. Respectable women shun her. Other courtesans envy her.

When May insists she's not in any danger from the person seemingly obsessed with her, she ends up in the sights of a deranged stalker–with Evan possibly too far away to help.

Product Warnings: This book contains sexy Hawaiian settings, crazy relatives, and a submission scene that leaves the heroine breathless and the hero frustrated. There are toys, bondage, and love scenes so hot, you'll need ice water and a towel. Remember, it's a Harmless story, so you know there's nothing harmless about it.

He will have his revenge–one wicked seduction at a time.

Pendragon Gargoyles, Book 3

But for now she must let Cian believe she's the culprit in order to strike a bargain: to permanently lift the curse in exchange for his tracking skills to find her missing sister. The longer she is near him, though, the closer she comes to surrendering much more than her body to the brutal warrior.

Redefining room service…

The Zephyre Corporation's annual convention may be designed to let colleagues kick back in the Florida sun, but Riley McGuire doesn't plan to let anything interfere with her chance to shine for corporate management. Not even the devastatingly sexy guy playing air guitar–naked–in her hotel suite.

Behind closed doors, lust explodes between the sheets. But is a pair of vibrating panties a temporary pleasure, or the start of something that doesn't require batteries?

He'll bend for them. But they may break over him.

Once they break the ice, their sexual chemistry burns hotter than a macro flash. Everyone gets what they need…until emotions come into play. Their power could develop into something permanent, throw everything off balance–leaving one of them the odd man out.

Nate has never forgotten the green-eyed redhead who set his body on fire, the one girl who saw past his bad reputation.

In a country with more cattle than eligible females, he doesn't envision his seven years as a widower ending anytime soon. Until a mysterious woman lands at his door in the dead of night, riddled with buckshot.

When Russ wakes up with an empty bed–and an empty wallet–his first instinct isn't to call the cops…it's to catch her and find out why his urge to protect her overshadows all reason. Because he's had a taste of real passion, and he's not letting it slip away without a fight.

Cut and run, or stand and fight…the heart knows where to draw the line.
