	Just One Night by Chloe Cole Genre: Contemporary, Red Hots!!!, Multicultural Length: Novella, ISBN: 978-1-60928-951-5 Price: $3.50 Limited time sale-priced for $2.45 He's got one shot. Better make it naughty… Micah's new living arrangement with her best friend is quickly becoming unbearable. Not because Tomas isn't a good roommate. When they're alone, he shows her his sweet, loyal side. It's just that he shows the rest of his parts to half the women in town. If she can't scrape together the money for her own place soon, witnessing the aftermath of his late-night carousing is going to break her heart.
Then again, if it's going to break anyway, maybe she should just go ahead and make a move on the man she's loved since high school. And risk his rejection a second time. It hasn't been easy for Tomas to share space with the one damsel he can't bear to see in distress. To have her within easy reach has been torture. His foster mother's words echo in his head: a classy girl like Micah deserves more than the likes of him. But lately Micah's been rattling his cage. If she does it one more time, she'd better be ready for the animal she awakens. Unfortunately for him, Micah's hot little hands are already wrapped around the bars… Product Warnings: Contains a Latin bad boy with twelve years worth of fantasies to get out of his system, and his goody-two-shoes best friend who learns that her inner bad girl likes handcuffs and spankings. Beware. This book could cause a riot since there's only one Tomas to go around. Read an excerpt, find reviews and more at Samhain!

	Dealing with David by Katriena Knights Genre: Contemporary Length: Category, ISBN: 978-1-60928-773-3 Price: $4.50 Limited time sale-priced for $3.15 It's tough to win the game of love if you don't understand the rules. Though Tony Mullin agreed to put on a medieval costume, complete with pointy hat, for her best friend's marriage vow renewal, another round of wedding bells will never be in her own future. Been there, done that, still sifting through the ashes of broken dreams.
Yet she can't take her eyes off the Armani-clad mystery man among the guests–and no one's more surprised to learn it's David Peterson, the erstwhile nerd who mooned over her in high school. He not only grew up to be a hunk, but a rich one as well. Pity she's sworn off men. Last David knew, sweet, artistic Tony married the high school quarterback. He made his fortune developing video games, but the torch he carried for her still smolders. His surprise that she's ditched the jock quickly turns to determination to win her heart at last…though she seems just as determined to play keep-away. David didn't become successful by giving up easily. A freak snowstorm plays into his strategy, but debugging a few gigabytes of computer code seems easier than figuring out how to win this wary woman's love. This title was previously published. Product Warnings: Contains strange Colorado weather patterns and video game heroines with breasts that could put your eye out. Read an excerpt, find reviews and more at Samhain!

	Handle with Care by Josephine Myles Genre: Red Hots!!!, Gay Contemporary Length: Category, ISBN: 978-1-60928-965-2 Price: $4.50 Limited time sale-priced for $3.15 The best things in life aren't free…they're freely given. Ben Lethbridge doesn't have many vices left. After raising his little sister to adulthood, he wasted no time making up for the youth he lost to responsible parenting. Two years of partying it up–and ignoring his diabetes–has left him tethered to a home dialysis regimen.
He can do his job from his flat, fortunately, but most of his favourite things are forbidden. Except for DVD porn…and fantasizing over Ollie, the gorgeous, purple-haired skateboarder who delivers it. Their banter is the highlight of Ben's lonely day, but his illness-ravaged body is the cruel reality that prevents him from believing they'll do anything more than flirt. Not to mention the age gap. Still, Ben figures there's no harm in sprucing himself up a bit. Then one day, a package accidentally splits open, revealing Ben's dirty little secret…and an unexpected connection that leaves him wondering if he's been reading Ollie wrong all this time. There's only one way to find out: risk showing Ollie every last scar. And hope “far from perfect” is good enough for a chance at love. Product Warnings: Contains superhero porn comics and a cute, accident-prone delivery guy with colour-changing hair. Readers may experience coffee cravings, an unexpected liking for bad mullets, and the urge to wrap Ollie up and take him home. Read an excerpt, find reviews and more at Samhain!

She's determined to win the Las Vegas Poker Extravaganza's gold bracelet and million-dollar prize, but Tucker Manning's raw, sexual appeal is throwing her concentration off. Way off.
An up-and-coming poker whiz, Tucker plans to enjoy every second of this tournament, especially when he feels Mari's magic brush up against his werewolf power. With luck, he'll win and win big, taking both the tournament and the green-eyed beauty whose magic oozes out of her hot body like honey. Proving that last year's winner is a cheat will make the victory all that much sweeter. When she senses Bryson Bascomb's dark, supernatural influence over his opponents, Mari agrees to Tucker's proposal to help expose the vampire's trickery. But Bascomb isn't going down without a fight. And the fallout leaves Mari wondering if she can trust Tucker with her life. Or if in the end, he'll throw in his hand…and throw her under the bus.

As a child, watching her mother always pick the wrong man left Danielle Carson wary of opening her heart to anyone–except Patrick Kingsley. But circumstances came between them and left Danielle with a broken heart. Now she buries the pain of what might have been by channeling all her energy into her career. When a family crisis brings her back to her hometown, she is forced to face the past–and the disturbing fact that her sister's car accident was staged to mask a brutal beating.
A police officer and widower, Patrick guards his heart as fiercely as he guards his beloved daughter. Seeing Danielle again unexpectedly reignites their old flame, but no way will he introduce a woman into his daughter's life. Certainly not one whose values on faith and family are so different from his own. Despite their best intentions, they are drawn together–until Danielle learns Patrick had a hand in putting her sister in harm's way. Her fragile trust is crushed, but Patrick is the only man who can help her stop the villain before everything they both love is destroyed. Faith, family…and their second chance at forever.

Fear what lies behind it…* Grimm's Circle, Book 6 In his mortal life, the only thing Jacob liked better than money was a good brawl–until he stuck his fist into the wrong fight, and a demon sent him spinning into a new life as a Grimm.
Now, a hundred years later, he's been called to protect someone too much like himself. A woman who could let the chains of her past drag her down unless she learns to let go. A woman who fights like there's no tomorrow, because she clearly doesn't want a tomorrow. Celeste thought her second chance at life would be an opportunity to fix some of her worst mistakes, to set things straight. She couldn't have been more wrong. She's trapped by the past and her regrets, and nothing–not even her darkly sexy new trainer, Jacob–has a blade sharp enough to cut her loose. Chains are Jacob's specialty, but his help comes with a price. To her, the cost is her heart. To Jacob…something much more. Product Warnings: Contains a heroine with enough fight in her to put the 300 to shame. And a hero who knows how to take a punch. Read an excerpt, find reviews and more at Samhain!

While Kat can’t deny she’s imagined a kiss like that—and more—for years, she’s less convinced they’re destined for happily ever after. Still, Luke figures that’s nothing a friendly kidnapping and a three-day road trip won’t fix. Kat would love to let Luke in, but if he discovers the truth—that committee meetings bore her to tears and she’d rather have a root-canal than go to another potluck—his white-picket-fence dreams will be crushed. Being stuck in an RV with Luke should be three days of flirtatious fun, but for Kat it’s heavenly hell. The close confines and good old-fashioned lust are making a mockery of her perfect-woman façade, and if he finds out about the mistake that might cost her job—and force her to leave town for good—it’ll take more than a sexy pair of handcuffs to keep him close.

Attending her cousin's ball is irritating enough. It's her one dance with Daniel, the unscrupulous Earl of Bridgerton, that rubs her nerves raw. And oddly leaves her senses on the edge of arousal. The ton sees Daniel as a scoundrel. In truth, like centuries of Bridgertons before him, he leads a vast network of spies, protecting England from her worst enemies. His resolve never to marry means the one woman he's always wanted–Lady Anna–is off limits. Especially now that his father's murderer is coming after him as well. At first, Anna wonders if Daniel was put on this earth just to annoy her. It's only when she finds him injured that his mask begins to fall away–and so do the barriers between them. But their flaring passion puts her right where Daniel didn't want her. Next on a killer's list.

As a proven architect with her own house-design company, she's financially ready for a baby. Who says she needs a permanent man in her life for that? She just needs a "donation". When Max discovers Natasha's future plans include artificial insemination, he's outraged. She wants to get pregnant? No problem. He's more than willing to volunteer–no turkey basters involved. But there's one non-negotiable clause: He wants forever. And he intends to do everything in his power–fair and unfair–to make it happen. Product Warnings: This title contains one younger man ready, aimed and hell bent on giving one woman everything she wants. Includes interludes against the wall, in a Jacuzzi, on a car hood and even–shockingly enough–on a bed or two. Oh, and about that porch swing? Yup… Read An Excerpt and Order Online Here

Between her job as a university lecturer and caring for a mother recovering from breast cancer, she has no room in her schedule for a demanding relationship. While visiting her sister in New Zealand, however, she's happy to indulge in some hot holiday sex with kind, hunky firefighter Neon Carter. After all, they live on opposite sides of the world. There's no chance things will turn serious.
Neon Carter is a catch. At least, that's what the ladies apparently think. All they seem to want is a quick trip down the aisle, but Neon's in no rush to settle down. Light-hearted summer loving with a sexy blonde is something different, though, and Neon's happy to offer his services until Merle has to return to England. The weather's hot, the sex even hotter.

	Reawakening Eden by Vivi Andrews Genre: Post-Apocalyptic Length: Novella, ISBN: 978-1-60928-637-8 Price: $3.50 Limited time sale-priced for $2.45 When life is a struggle, love is the ultimate luxury. Librarian Eden Fairfax knows exactly where to find books about survival. None of them mentioned how to manage in the aftermath of a worldwide epidemic–with two young orphans in tow. On a journey south to warmer climes, she finds sanctuary for all three of them among a community of survivors in Seattle. Until she realizes the children are the centerpiece of their bizarre new religion. There's no choice but to run as far and as fast as her stolen car will go.
Former Army Ranger Connor Reed had planned to live out the end of the world in peace. Yet he can't stand by and do nothing while a lone woman defends two children from an armed thug. Even if doing something means taking the trio in. Eden's not sure if the armed hermit is her salvation or an even more dangerous threat. A blizzard forces her to trust him with their lives, and in Connor's arms she remembers what it's like to live. Just beyond the edge of the storm, though, the cult leader awaits his chance to get his hands on the children–and make Eden his next sexual sacrifice. Product Warnings: This book contains a strong, silent action-hero, a tough, tenacious heroine, a pair of steal-your-heart kids, and a pony-sized dog named Precious.

Compass Ranch gave Cindi Middleton's wounded soul everything it needs: a home, acceptance, and respect–not to mention unlimited sex–from the ranch's sexy cowboys. Despite their instant and intense sparks, Sam's defection to the bright city lights she left behind is a big red flag. She's been there, done that, burned the T-shirt. Yet the heat of their attraction brings them circling back to each other's arms…until a certain snake reappears, threatening to endanger the acquisition of the one thing Sam has realized is truly priceless.
