Taming His Mate by Poppy Aster
She’s playing a deadly game.
I’m holding all the cards.
Luka: Isabelle is my fated mate.
I’ve known it since the moment our eyes met across the room. She knows it too, but for reasons I can’t fathom, that hasn’t stopped my little vampire from flaunting herself for other males. Using them right in front of me without bothering to hide it.
When she sets her sights on my brother and nearly gets herself killed, I come to her rescue and keep her hidden while she heals. I feed her my blood and care for her while plotting what to do with her before deciding to get my revenge by auctioning her at the Den.
Now she’s all mine. For a single night I can do anything I want to her.
Isabelle: My faction is determined to place me at the Alpha of Alphas side and, just as my feelings mean little, there is no care that he already has a mate or that she nearly kills me for my transgression. I’m nothing but a pawn in their all-consuming desire for power. They won’t stop until I’m sitting on the highest throne.
Then I wake-up chained to Luka’s bed.
I’ve pushed him away at my family’s insistence. I’ve done awful things to hurt him and still, he refuses to be chased off. Now, I’m his captive. To use. To punish. To make me realize that I want him as much as he wants me.
Do I have the strength to defy my family and go after the male who fate has set in my path?
Zylus by Alana Khan
A haunted inn, a sexy alien, and a love story that’s all treats and no tricks (well, maybe a few tricks).
Misty: Lucky me. I won an adorable inn on a distant planet. It was a rollercoaster ride from a dream come true to a nightmare.
The place is a total wreck, and I’m pretty sure it’s haunted.
When I’m ready to give up and return to Earth, Zylus, this ridiculously handsome and charming contractor, agrees to save the day. But there’s a catch – Zylus is hiding something, and I’m determined to uncover the truth.
Can our crazy chemistry survive the terrifying revelations within these haunted walls?
Zylus: Keeping my secrets hidden from Misty is no easy task. Sparks fly from the moment we meet.
I can’t help but be drawn to her irresistible charm. But I’m keeping something from her, something that might make her run for the hills. Can’t blame her, really.
As we discover the mysteries of this spooky inn together, I wonder if our sensual connection can survive the shocking truth I’m hiding.
The Wrong Bride by Jill Monroe & Gena Showalter
Vacationing in Scotland, schoolteacher Elizabeth “Elle” Darcy anticipates picturesque landscapes, castles of old and kilt-wearing charmers, not awakening in someone else’s body. Worse, that someone just married enigmatic billionaire Callen Bruce. Though that’s not the biggest problem. To the rest of the world, her new “husband” runs an elite empire. But behind his public persona, he’s a king of berserkers locked in an ancient, supernatural war with wolf-shifters.
Determined to reclaim her normal life, Elle will do anything necessary to switch back with Callen’s real wife. First, she must ditch the disciplined warrior. An impossibility when he refuses to relinquish the bride chosen for him by fate, even though he despises her. Or does he? The growing heat in his eyes says otherwise. Not that it matters. There’s no way this temporary queen will fall for the moody, broody secretive warrior who belongs to another woman. Nope. Not Elle. Not ever. Probably.
All the Dangerous Things by Jenika Snow
He was a monster, a killer, the type of man my brothers kept me away from.
Gio, my sister-in-law’s brother and the head of the West Coast Cosa Nostra, was family and off-limits.
Maybe that was why I was so drawn to him. Violence and death clung to him like he was born in the pits of hell, and he thrived on it.
Despite everything, I started a relationship with the devil himself, and I fell in love.
I had to keep it a secret, knowing my brothers would kill Gio if they found out.
But when I discovered I was pregnant, hiding it was impossible.
To make matters worse, Gio and my brothers found themselves entangled with a dangerous new syndicate.
It was a situation that threatened to ignite chaos and conflict, involving everyone I cared about.
Including my new forbidden lover and the baby we were bringing into this hell on earth.
Guarded by a Protective Vet by Hope Ford
My contract says to protect her… my heart says to love her.
She’s my best friend’s younger sister,
and she has an obsessed stalker.
Of course when I’m asked to protect her,
my answer is yes.

She has curves that I want to touch.
A smile that melts my wounded soul.
And eyes that tell a story of pain she should never have known.
I’m bound by duty and I will protect her.
And even though I’m fighting my own obsession,
I won’t let another man touch her.
No way.
But who’s going to save her from me?

My case is assigned to an ice lord, Elrik, the guy I met a week ago at a wedding and haven’t been able to stop thinking about.

But he was recently burned, and he’s not sure if he’s ready to try again. Can I convince Elrik to give love another chance?
Elrik: After the woman I thought I loved cheated on me with my brother, I swore off relationships for good. I planned to settle in Mystic Harbor and focus on my new job as an investigator at Monsters, PI. No relationships. No falling in love. But my vow is tested when I meet Melly. She’s cute and funny, and I ache to back her against a wall and kiss her.
After I clear her grandmother’s name, do I dare claim Melly as an ice lord’s bride?

No Way Back by Santana Knox
THERE’S NO WAY BACK FROM WHAT WE’VE BECOME.
There is no way back. There is no way. No way back. Not from what we’ve become;
Bloodthirsty, vengeful, vile.
Some women strive to make their men better,
I VOW TO MAKE HIM WORSE.
With each life we take, we fall deeper into our own sinister desires. We were never looking for a way out, but in this prison? There is no way back from what we’ve become.
Tryggred by the Orc by Finley Fenn
He’s supposed to run… but he wants to be caught.
In a world of orcs and men, Eben of Clan Ka-esh is shy, awkward, and desperately lonely. No one notices the sickroom’s quietest scholar, not even when he’s saving lives, or offering up decadent pleasures in Orc Mountain’s darkest depths.
Until Tryggr, of Clan Skai. A tall, shameless, laughing orc warrior, who can have anyone he wants…
And Tryggr keeps looking at Eben. Seeing Eben.
But Skai are risky, reckless, dangerous — and all his life, Eben’s been taught to run from them. To hide safe and quiet and alone. Or else he’ll be forever crushed and conquered beneath a deadly Skai’s claws and teeth…
But maybe Eben wants to be conquered.
And maybe Tryggr is just the conqueror he needs…
Prey for Rabbit by Aiden Pierce
The silver wolf thinks I’m his prey. Little does he know, he’s mine.
The rabbit shifters and the werewolves have had a truce for centuries. Our burrow sets three of our kind loose in the woods on Easter to be hunted, to be slaughtered like the prey we are.
Then, the wolves leave us alone for the rest of the year.
When I’m selected as a sacrifice for this twisted tradition, I refuse to be another victim. All it takes is an abandoned cabin in the woods, an old ax, and the unexpecting wolves thinking I’m an easy target like all the rest.
The silver wolf is the only one who doesn’t underestimate me. It’s just my luck that when I scent him… I go into heat, and his inner beast chooses me for its mate.
Too bad we want each other dead.
Vampire Viking’s Wayward Bride by Tai James
A runaway bride. A heart of ice. A love forged in defiance of fate.

But Cybelle can’t hide forever. A year later, Tore storms into the Unseelie Court, his gaze burning with a fury to match her own. He demands her return, unaware their marriage could destroy their kingdoms.
Now, trapped between upholding a promise she can’t keep and the searing heat of Tore’s touch, Cybelle faces an impossible choice: betray the only man who’s ever stirred her soul…or unleash a power that could shatter their love.
