Her Sweet Orc by Meg Rhodes
Ada: The last thing I expected after moving to Whispering Springs, Oregon was to fall head over heels for Ulgan, the sweet and sexy orc bakery owner. I’ve had my eye on him for months, and it makes my heart race when I find out that my feelings aren’t one sided. Am I ready to trust Ulgan and let him into my life, or will a secret that he’s been keeping from me tear us apart?
Ulgan: I knew from the second Ada entered my bakery that she’s my fated mate. Humans don’t have fated mates, so how am I supposed to prove to her that we are meant for each other? Months have gone by since I first scented her, and I’m through with waiting. It’s time for me to woo my beautiful mate and show Ada that the one thing missing in her life is an orc to care for her.
Nocturnal by Clio Evans
I was his toxic obsession. He was my sadistic monster.
Nora: When I took a job at St. Thorns university as a psychology professor, I encountered something – someone – unexplainable. Fascinating. And deadly.
Alec Briar had the eyes of a killer.
He’s a botanist who would rather rot in his greenhouse alone than deal with students, professors, or me. When a monster stalks me, our relationship becomes corrupted in ways that bring us closer together, for better or worse. He has secrets – ones that will destroy him if he discovers the truth…
Our minds twist to protect our souls, and Alec’s is the most warped of all. The only way to save him is to hurt him and accept the damnation doing so will bring.
Alec: She was deadlier than belladonna, and yet I cannot resist her.
Nora Woulfe has become my infatuation. As she pushes me to my breaking point, we spiral down a path that will be our downfall. A monster is trying to steal what is mine, and I will hunt him to the bitter end. Even if I have to use her to draw him out…
Black Rose Gold Queen by Shannon Mayer & Kelly St. Clare
Underhill has been killed and the only thing standing between all realms and utter destruction by Unbalance and his minions….
Is me.
Named as the new Mistress of Underhill, I must gather those I trust to untangle the deadly riddles or I will be left to face the darkness alone.
The politics of the earth and fae realms, the survival of all, and the remains of my tattered heart will all be decided in a final battle.
But as more and more players enter this war of realms, I realize that things are not what they seemed. If I am to see this through to the end, I must do what my mother asked of me.
Somehow I must embrace a destiny that feels impossible… and give up on a love impossible to deny.
Still of the Night by Donna Grant
Forest child they call me. It is within the woods that I find solace and feel the magic of my ancestors. For I am a Druid. One who can trace her roots from the very first to call the Isle of Skye home.
The isle draws many to its magical shores. It drew him. Imposing, bold, and handsome. We fell hard and fast that summer. Then he left with the tide to the city.
I learned to live with the cracks and fissures on my pieced-together heart, the scars only I can feel.
Until the day he walks back into my life asking for a second chance. I yearn to give it to him. How can I not? He’s the only one I’ve ever loved.
The only one I will ever love.
But there is a darkness growing on the isle – a treacherous evil that has targeted him. I’ve lost him once.
I won’t lose him again.
Grabbed by the Guard by Sarah Spade
Help! I’ve been abducted by a… demon?
As if the weekend wasn’t enough of a disaster already, right on the heels of discovering how my boyfriend really feels about my best friend, I walk into our apartment – and straight into a trap.
Is it a surprise that I initially think that was meant for her, too? That when I get grabbed and pulled through a portal by a massive demon with horns, he mistook me for Sierra?
Only… he didn’t. And when he stuns me by speaking English, he explains that his name is Glaine, and he’s my fated mate.
Do I believe him? Of course not. Demon or human, after what happened with Trevor, I was ready to swear men off for good. Besides, he might be sure that I’m his, but how does he know?
And how am I supposed to get back to New York?
I’m determined not to fall for the grumpy demon, especially when my first escape attempt lands me in the dungeons, with Glaine as my cellmate. We’re chained together, even after he breaks us out of there, and all I want to do is get away from him… which would be a lot easier if he wasn’t dedicated to proving that I’m the mate for him – and he’s the guy for me.
Tempting the Black Wolf by N.J. Walters
I am an immortal predator, driven to hunt and protect the wolf packs from danger – especially rogue wolves. This destiny is my blood, my bone. My will.
There are two other lone wolves – one gray, one white – but I am the strongest. The most powerful. And we all share an enemy, who set a trap for each of us: a woman with our coloring who will draw us into danger and make our wolves howl with need.
But I won’t give in to lust or passion.
I already know the face of the woman who is my supposed bait: a stunning and powerful mage named Onyx. We’ve been circling each other, wary, fueled by deeply intense attraction and fierce distrust.
But the enemy of my enemy is my ally…for now. It’s a brief truce, laced with raw, primal hunger.
Because when this is over – if we survive – we’ll have to go head-to-head one last time.
And I never lose.
Anathema by Keri Lake
Only the banished know what lies beyond the woods …
There are whispers about what lurks in Witch Knell – the forest where sinners go to die. The villagers call it The Eating Woods because what’s taken is never given back. Only those who’ve lost their senses would dare to go near it.
Or the banished.
Maevyth Bronwick knows better than to breach the misty labyrinth of trees, but a tragic turn of events compels her beyond the archway of bones, to a boundary no mortal has crossed before. One that cloaks a dark and fantastical world that’s as dangerous as it is alluring.
It’s there that he dwells, the cursed lord of Eidolon. The one tasked to keep her hidden from the magehood that seeks to crucify her in the name of an arcane prophesy. Zevander Rydainn, known to his prey as The Scorpion, is the coldest, most calculated assassin in all of Aethyria and he’d sooner toss his feisty ward to a pack of vicious fyredrakes than keep her safe.
If only he could.
Maevyth’s blood is the key to breaking his despised curse and vanquishing the slumbering evil in Witch Knell. Unfortunately for Lord Rydainn, fate has other plans for the irresistible little enchantress. And his growing obsession with her threatens to destroy everything.
Including himself.
Inferno by Trish Heinrich
A hundred years is nothing to a Dragon, except when you’re waiting for your true mate.
From the moment I glimpse Angelica in the Pools of Fate, I know she is destined to be mine. When I finally meet her, I believe that the pain of waiting is finally over. Little do I know that the true torture has just begun.
After surviving an abusive husband, Angelica isn’t looking for love. The more I try to break down her walls, the more she pushes me away. Even though I tell myself that I can be patient, it’s getting harder and harder to hold myself back.
When an artifact of unspeakable power surfaces, Angelica and I take matters into our own hands and decide to find and destroy it. But while she believes I’m only here to help with the mission, the truth is that I can’t hold back my primal desires any longer.
Desperate to prove that we belong together, I decide to make her a deal: I will be her ‘fun buddy’ for the mission and if she doesn’t’ feel anything for me at the end, I’ll walk away.
I know that it will destroy me if she rejects our bond, but I would rather have a taste of her than nothing at all. I just hope that I can keep us both alive long enough to convince Angelica that we belong together.
Alien Triton’s Prize by Lynnea Lee
Reeled into a fake marriage with a merman…
How was I supposed to know my new boss was the owner’s nephew? Now, I’ve been fired for speaking up about his roaming hands. And if that isn’t bad enough, I get home early to find my boyfriend bumping the girl next door!
With nowhere to go, I decide to join the Starlight Lottery. The promise of fresh air and a job on an alien planet where no one knows me sounds just about perfect. I’m ecstatic when I’m accepted immediately.
But when I arrive at Aquaria, it’s not a job as a marine botanist that awaits me, but marriage to a triton! Cetius has a powerful tail and an upper body that puts the best bodybuilder to shame. But there’s a catch.
He doesn’t really want a wife. He just needs me to pretend to make his aging grandsire happy in his last days. After, I can choose between a pampered life under the waves or trying my luck on a small human settlement at the surface.
Too bad not everyone’s happy with the arrangement. Some would rather I end up as sushi for the sharks of this planet. And worst yet, I think I’m falling for my pretend triton mate.
Salvation by Elizabeth Kelly
I had the perfect life. Until heart disease took everything from me – my job, my apartment, my friends.
Now, my only chance of survival is the alien race Draax.
Selling my body every night in exchange for their life-saving gallberry juice isn’t easy. Finding a morally grey Draax is harder than finding fur on a rattlesnake.
The night I stumble onto a dying Draax named Regan, I can’t walk away. I can barely save my own life, and now I’m responsible for saving his.
Only Regan is no ordinary Draax. The head of the guard for a corrupt Draax king, he’s hiding secrets that could change everything for the alien race.
An unexpected rescue leaves Regan and I trapped in a month-long storm at a rival kingdom. As we heal, our attraction turns to love. Regan is handsome and brave and doesn’t care about my past.
But when Regan’s secrets threaten to destroy him, will I be his salvation?
Monster’s Maiden by Anne Hale & Celeste King
They call me a monster of stone…
She’ll call me her protector.
I am ancient, a creature of darkness.
And she is light, warmth… Life itself.
They say I’m dangerous. I’ve been abandoned to ruins.
But in her eyes…
I’ll show her I’m so much more.
When she falls into my cavern, I can see the fear in her.
But underground, we forge a bond stronger than the earth itself.
I think I’ve found my mate.
But when her friends try to take her away…
I learn I’ll do anything to keep her.
Some bonds can’t be broken…
Especially when etched in stone.
Swipe Right for Stardust by Elin Wyn
In space, no one can hear you fall in love… unless you’re on an intergalactic dating show.
When I signed up for “Stardust Souls,” I thought I’d have a fun adventure and maybe win a luxury vacation. I never imagined I’d meet someone like Zarnak – brilliant, caring, and utterly captivating. Now, as we face challenge after deadly challenge, I find myself longing for his touch, craving his kiss.
As we navigate treacherous alien landscapes, our bond grows stronger with each passing moment. But with cameras capturing our every move and millions of viewers back home watching our story unfold, is there any hope for a real connection?
Can love truly blossom under the scrutiny of the entire galaxy, or are we destined to be just another reality TV showmance?

I am Gro – the most feared warrior of the Masari peoples!
And I have found my mate.
Arael is the embodiment of loveliness.
Her purple eyes entrance me.

Illicit Temptations by Katee Robert
Make Me Yours: Three months ago, fitness instructor Becka Baudin gave Aaron Livingstone the most satisfying night of his life…and then walked away. But now, she’s pregnant with his child. Although he manages to persuade her to move into his Manhattan penthouse, Becka want nothing to do with Aaron and his flashy CEO lifestyle. They are total opposites – with different jobs, interests, lives. But their chemistry keeps pushing them together…
Make Me Need: Trish Livingston desperately needs her new job. Which means putting up with the world’s grumpiest boss, Cameron O’Clery – who is also her brother’s best friend and business partner. The way he looks at her is pure disdain…but when he touches her, it’s pure fire. With family and business ties at stake, they are not supposed to be together. There’s a fine line between hate and lust, and they are going to cross it… but at what cost?
Fated to the Alien Healer by Erin Hale
Zara: Betrayed by someone I thought I could trust. Disowned by parents who never loved me anyway. Which means I have nowhere to go except to another planet. To my surprise, this new life on Tavikh is almost better than my previous one.
I have great friends and who’d complain about the view? Towering lavender aliens with long, golden-blond hair, muscles for days, and tails that put naughty, wicked thoughts in my head. So what if the village is a little primitive and I’m struggling to find my place?
But then some a-hole aliens from another tribe decide they need women and the next thing I know I’m slung belly-down over some mutant camel-lion-thing. Somebody better rescue me for my sake and for the sake of the dude whose life I’m about to make miserable.
Kyler: At forty cold seasons, I am almost considered an elder of the tribe. Which is why I should not be drawn to one of the human females who lives in our village. She is most likely the mate of one of the younger warriors. Yet my eyes are constantly drawn to the weapon maker’s apprentice with her bari-colored hair, nenuphar-bloom eyes, and curves that make the tips of my fingers tingle with the need to explore.
When she is taken captive by Njeri warriors, I volunteer to join the rescue party. Despite being our tribe’s healer, I will destroy anyone who dares hurt her. Soon, I discover that it is not only her body I must heal, but also her heart.
Big Bad Boss: Mated by Renee Rose & Lee Savino
Rule #4 of Wall Street: Keep your enemies close
The Vampire King wasn’t on the invite list for our engagement party, but that won’t stop him from demanding his due.
He insists Madi and I make an appearance at his club.
He wants a performance where we’re the players.
I would refuse – war be damned, but my bride is intrigued.
And what she wants, she gets.
When She’s Handy by Ruby Dixon
Five years ago, an alien saved me from a cruel master. He rescued me and I fell in love instantly, only for him to turn around and dump me on Risda III.
I both love and hate him for that choice.
I’ve moved on and created a life for myself on this strange alien planet amongst the other refugee humans. I create things for them out of scrap, things from home, things that humans want and aliens don’t understand. I’m happy enough.
But then the alien I can’t forget… returns.
