Attraction is easy. Trust is like reaching for the stars.

Celestial Soul-Mates, Book 2

Larson easily senses his soul-mate's desire for him, but it's trapped inside her lovely body like a caged bird. Only patience will win her trust. Every time his touch draws her one step forward, though, she withdraws two steps back.

Eva tries desperately to remember her vow to never again surrender control. But as Larson chips away at her defenses one sensual pebble at a time, her resistance is crumbling by the second…

Product Warnings: The author is not responsible for heart palpitations brought on by anticipation, suspense and smoking-hot sex. These aliens have talents that fit every woman's needs–literally. 'Nuff said.

When you ride with the devil, the shadow of death isn't the only danger…

Killdaren, Book 2

When she presents herself to begin cataloging his vast collection of artifacts, she realizes she is in over her head. His mind is closed to her gift, save for a single, breathlessly erotic image. His heated touch is like a dragon's fire against her skin; his emerald gaze strips her soul bare.

Even as she loses her heart to his dark passion, she uncovers secrets that expose a brutal killer and threatens everything she holds dear. Her life, her sisters…and her sanity.

This book has been previously published.

Product Warnings: Contains a dark hero with eclectic tastes, toe-curling sensuality and a spine-chilling murder mystery.

Sometimes a girl's gotta save herself.

Product Warnings: This story includes an undercover alpha with a sexy Texan drawl, a heroine with a dangerous secret, a ring of wolves willing to pay just about anything to own her, and a small town that needs to learn a little something about tolerance.

The one man he can't forget is the one whose memories could destroy them all.

Men of Honor, Book 2

Detective Paulo McMannus has almost succeeded in helping Law forget his lost love when Styx comes plowing back into their lives. No way is Paulo giving up his lover without a fight.

Suddenly Law finds himself on the run with Styx, the man who can still bring him to his knees…and with Paulo, the man who brought him back to life. The worst part? He can't choose between them. And it's getting harder to remember why he should.

Product Warnings: Contains rough language, rougher sex and warriors who fall hard for one another.

When you're down on the farm, things are bound to get dirty!

Joe Remke has just one qualification for his lovers–he wants them gone before sunrise, which makes his new bunkmate AJ about as safe as a woman can be around him. It also makes his determination to sleep with his boss downright stupid, because if Brent ever gives in, he'll be looking for a new job.

Fortunately for Brent and Joe, fantasies have a way of revealing themselves and AJ's are right up their alley. But even threesomes have their risks, and AJ can serve as a buffer for only so long before the tension between them explodes.

Product Warnings: Flying BOBs ahead–and that's just the warm-up! Strap yourself in for a wild ride complete with ménage, m/m, and a voyeuristic f/f scene hot enough to make three grown men beg for mercy.

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.

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

Now she's back in Paradise looking sexier than ever, and Nate finds himself powerless to keep his distance.

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.

The Kavanaugh Foundation, Book 3

One breath of her scent is enough to reawaken a thirst Luc hasn't felt in six hundred years. It's enough to make him almost forget his vow to keep the staff out of the wrong hands–and to never give in to his bloodlust. The moment he touches Daniela, the last shreds of his humanity revive with a violent fury and drive him to claim her…blood, body and soul.

He's her enemy. He's arrogant and infuriatingly secretive. And his kiss makes her want things she shouldn't–like abandoning her mission to spend eternity in his arms. Crossing that line, though, could not only send them up in flames…it could condemn all mankind to hell on earth.

Product Warnings: Contains a smolderingly hot (literally!) witch, a sexy, brooding vampire, wild sex you want to sink your teeth into, and a sensually charged romance that spans several lifetimes.

Angus MacIntyre, the de facto alpha of Wolf Town, is determined to see every fugitive wolf employed, educated and well-adjusted to life in the open. The arrival of a young wolf on the run isn't all that unusual, but the human woman hard on his heels is beyond extraordinary.

The dark-eyed beauty stirs his mine instinct in a way he's never felt before. She possesses a dream-wraith ability that challenges everything he thinks he knows about his world, and makes her vulnerable to those who might try to use it–and her–to their advantage.

Product Warnings: Wolf towns, bad guys, dreams and non-alpha alpha wolves, as well as an overabundance of family, and, of course, a healthy dose of romance and sex.

Handing over the reins is hard. Handing over his heart…damn near impossible.

In Chloe Ruskin's experience, men take what they want and leave a mess of trouble behind. The safety of two orphans and her granny is at stake, and the last thing she needs is Gideon's "help". This time, though, she has no choice but to allow the big cowboy to fix her wagon.

As they work into the night, grudging admiration grows into attraction–and desire. Gideon finds he can't dig his boot heels in hard enough to avoid falling for the opinionated little female.

When Chloe's family disappears, her suspicion threatens to destroy any spark of love before it catches fire. Gideon finds himself making promises his pride won't let him break–even if it costs him the love of the woman who owns the missing half of his soul.

Product Warnings: Beware of a strong hero with a stubborn streak a mile wide and a heroine with enough gumption to fill the entire state of Texas. Discover love, hot sex and an amazing, dangerous adventure.
