War tore them apart. Betrayal could bring them together…

Layla Brightarrow's world fell apart the day the Sorcerers invaded her city, intent on using her fellow humans' pain to augment their spells. Worse, the neighboring elven kingdom declared neutrality, effectively abandoning her people to struggle for survival.

Years of pent-up desire is too much for Layla to resist…and one touch unleashes an unquenchable fire that changes everything. Leaving Layla caught between duty and a love that could be her destruction. Or her salvation.

Product Warnings: This book contains evil sorcerers, a scarred heroine, a sexy elf hero, naughty language, and an intoxicating and addicting pheromone that leads to wildly hot sex. Plus traitors, deadly magic, bespelled baddies, and a really, really rotten brother.

The truth is out there. Way, way, way out there!

The XOXO Files, Book 1

The opportunity to film a bona-fide professor examining the mummy is exactly the aura of authenticity Fraser needs. Except the grumpy PhD is a pompous ass on leave from his ivory tower. Yet something about Drew has Fraser using a word he doesn't normally have to draw upon: please.

Product Warnings: Whoso shall ever open this tomb, er, book shall suffer the curse of the Pharaohs. Okay, maybe not. But set aside a chunk of time for marauding mummies, too many cosmopolitans, illicit sex in hotel rooms, and other non-academic shenanigans.

Who says you can only score on the court?

A story from the Black & White Collection.

Coming off a year of bad decisions that not only broke her heart, but cost her a job, Ellie has good reason to swear off workplace romances. Her undeniable—and undeniably mutual—attraction to Trey is a serious threat to her resolve. Especially since Trey’s too-easy capitulation to her boundaries stings just a little too much.

Funny thing, though. When she sees Trey dancing with someone else, the edges of her vision turn decidedly green. And when another man tries to kiss Ellie, Trey sees red.

Maybe it wouldn’t hurt to fudge the rules. Just a little. After all, casual sex doesn’t count. Right?

Product Warnings: Lots of red-hot, half-dressed court presses complete with sex toys, food, bubble baths, strip poker and, oh yeah, balls.

What do a madame and a bounty hunter have in common? They want the same man.

Bound and Tied, Book 3

Convincing James he’s innocent is easier than winning back Rosalyn’s heart. Especially since Rosalyn seems to be enjoying their competition for her affections a little too much. There’s only one place to work out his dilemma. In bed.

As the sheets become unbearably hot, threads of evidence leading to the real killer are unraveling, leading toward one fateful card game—and one man who’s hell-bent on making sure Dalton has nothing left to lose.

Product Warnings: This title contains hot ménage a trois scenes, bondage, and two men loving, sharing and fighting for the love of one woman with very specific bedroom desires and a bordello full of experience to tempt any man beyond redemption.

Things aren’t always what they seem…and that can be a really good thing.

Two years ago Samantha Dawson had everything she wanted—a close family, a promising career, and a man she loved. Until the fateful night before her oldest sister’s wedding, a night of celebration and too much alcohol that tore her world apart. Devastated, she fled Oregon for Phoenix.

Yet even if he succeeds, what’s left of their love could crumble under the weight of past sins…and present secrets.

Product Warnings: Contains betrayal, lies, and reacquainted love that sizzles the words right off the page.

Who says getting eaten by a shark is a bad thing?

That Old Black Magic, Book 3

The next morning, embarrassed by the sizzling, scandalous things the voice in her head drove her to do, Willa slips away. But if there’s one thing a determined shark excels at, it’s tracking his favorite meal.

Solving the mystery that is Willa is no simple task. When they finally unlock a dangerous secret hidden deep in her subconscious, it drives a wedge between them…and puts them in a desperate race against an evil that seeks to rain down a watery Armageddon on all mankind.

Product Warnings: This book does not contain sex with a puffer fish. There’s not even sex with a seahorse. However, there’s plenty of smoking-hot lovin’ with a shark. And even a steamy M/F/M threesome. So slap on your snorkels and swim fins, things are about to get wet and wild.

The warrior in her was ready for anything. But she never saw him coming…

Guardians of Light, Book 5

In a fragrant, moonlit garden, Verdeen dares yield to an irresistible compulsion to kiss the mortal riever. The heat shakes her to the core, and frees a desire that should occur but once in her life. With a mate.

As their quest twists down ever more dangerous paths, though, their bond is the asset that could assure peace…or the liability that could send a dream down in flames.

Product Warnings: This tale illustrates what happens when adventurous dreamer meets seen-it-all cynic. Contains hot, no-holds -barred sex, voyeurism, and some self-loving. Also betrayal and some graphic (but never gratuitous) battle violence.

As far as Brad, Hemi and Finn are concerned, Kylie's life is too much work and not enough play. The only choice they plan to give her is to say yes to their wildly passionate proposal…

Bandicoot Cove, Book 2

Unaware of Paige's self-imposed deadline, Trent and Mason scheme to get Paige on their yacht for a once-in -a-lifetime voyage with one goal in mind: break the news that they're ready for something more than casual–and hope she doesn't run like hell.

It's a delicate operation that'll require close attention to which way her emotional winds are blowing. One wrong word, and their paradise-perfect arrangement could be lost in an instant.

Product Warnings: This book starts with the heat turned way up high. Two men entirely focused on one woman's pleasure. One woman stepping outside the box to please her men. An exotic resort suite featuring an erotic piece of furniture that makes ménage a trois even hotter than usual. Really.

When you fall out of step, that's when everything falls into place.

When their time comes to an end, Corey senses hesitation behind R.J.'s insistence that theirs was simply a summer fling. Inspiring him to take a leap of faith with consequences neither of them saw coming. A dangerous plot that reaches from the heart of their love to the highest office in the land…

Spells, Secrets and Seductions, Book 2

Maggie and Jed's first touch is lightning hot–and their passion is a thunderclap of erotic pleasure. But when Jed reveals he's a spiritwalker, Maggie's reaction is like a curtain of cold rain descending between them. Leaving him wondering what she's afraid of. Magic? Him? Or of following her heart?

Product Warnings: This book contains erotic dreams and fantasies, a candle magick spell, spiritwalking, lots of hot, sweaty sex, and a happily ever after that will make you sigh.

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

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.

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

Now that Adam has been assigned to protect her witchy spirit wanderings, Xia has to trust him. It isn't his power or ability she's uneasy about, but the fact he'll have to take all the pain meant for her.

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.

In spite of her misgivings, Régine is intrigued and takes Darius up on his boast. To her surprise, he conquers not only her body, but captures her very heart.

Yet beyond the haven of her boudoir, two men scheme to possess her for their own. When one of them kidnaps and enslaves her, she clings desperately to a new hope–that this time Darius will find her before it's too late.

What begins as a quest for submission becomes an unrelenting need for love.

Harmless, Book 3

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

Never as talented as her sister, Emma doesn't trust her own magic. 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.
