Forbidden Mate by Trish Heinrich
“I am the Seventh Son of the Pirate Queen Teneras, and I demand you let my mate go.”
I only said it to save her life, I never thought we would actually have to pull it off. After all, Thanh hates me, always has. And the feeling is mutual. It doesn’t matter that my mating instincts demand I claim her, or that I’ve been dreaming of her for months. I’ll never be anything more to her than ‘pirate scum’, and that’s just fine with me.
When my current mission takes me back to the pirate federation to steal a doomsday device from an impenetrable vault, I’m relieved. The distance from Thanh is just what I need to keep my mating instincts from forming a permanent attachment.
But when my superior tells me that the pint sized pilot is not only coming with me, but that we have to keep pretending to be mates, I realize that the hardest part of this mission won’t be the heist. It will be treading the razor thin line between hate and lust without losing myself in the process.
What’s a pirate prince to do when the one woman in the galaxy he wants would rather shove him out of an air lock, than admit they’ve got more than mutual loathing between them?

His Mate by Sara Fields
He’s not just going to mark me. He’s going to breed me.
I’m completely bare and shamefully on display, fully aware that in a few short moments I’ll be writhing and screaming as one brutal climax after another ravages my helplessly bound body.
Because the alpha wolf who has claimed me as his mate is coming to breed me again.
And no matter how desperately I strain against my bonds, he’s going to take what is his.
The first time he caught the scent of my helpless arousal, he lost control of his instincts, pinned me against the wall, spanked my ass red, and then mounted and rutted me like a wild beast.
But today, he’s not just going to leave me sore and spent with his seed dripping down my thighs.
He’s going to mark me as his.
Satanic Shadows by Leigh Rivers
IN THE SHADOWS
HE WAITS
Seraphine Winters had a normal life. One she misses when she’s kidnapped and taken to an island in the middle of nowhere.
Forced to attend Quarrierton Academy, a castle full of immortal beings, the only way she can leave is if she passes all her classes. But as a human, she’s hated just for breathing, with no way to fit in around magic and powers she never knew existed.
And who doesn’t hate mortals more than Dane Dalton? The Shadow Prince loathes everything about her, yet there are more secrets and lies than truths between the pair, and it’s a race against time when the curse is revealed.
Brutal King by Clarissa Bright
A mobster cornered. A throne usurped. A deadly game of power.
I’ve been stripped of my wealth and entrapped by betrayal, and I stand on the brink, ready to reclaim my empire or die trying.
Bellamy’s treachery left my city tainted, my empire fractured—my reign, a shadow of the past. He thinks the blood of my family is on the market. As Boston’s underbelly thrives under him, my resolve hardens; I am a king in the making, forced to become the reaper in waiting.
This is no victory lap; it’s a gauntlet thrown at my feet. The path back to my throne is littered with pitfalls and teeming with snakes—enemies wear familiar faces and the price of trust is life itself. My children’s future, the fate of my siblings, and the legacy of two intertwined dynasties rest heavily on my shoulders as I make my next move.
My comeback won’t be glorious. It will be stained with grit, grime, and the painful sacrifices that a true king must make.
As I play a game against the usurper, I’m reminded that the power I seek may demand the ultimate price. My life for their future. My blood for their security.
For her, for them, it’s a price I’m prepared to pay.
Alien Naga’s Prize by Hattie Jacks
He’s the scorching hot naga assassin who needs a fake bride…who am I to argue?
I missed first contact over a century ago, and my guard job on S.C Britannia is no more than pushing buttons. I joined the military for excitement and all I get are drunk idiots and the occasional smuggler to break up the boredom.
Which is why I entered the Starlight Lottery in the first place. A new job and a new life on an alien planet, what more could a girl seeking adventure possibly want?
So I might not have expected an adventure to involve fake marrying a naga assassin who needs me to infiltrate a pleasure planet in order to track down his mark.
And I certainly didn’t expect my new husband to be hotter than hell, with a tail which runs riot in my fantasies. Not that he’s interested in me. It seems his blood is as cold as his reptilian nature might suggest.
Until we have to share one bed and things get heated for the night…
When this is all over, Azul says he’ll pay me well and we can go our separate ways, but after I’ve seen how passionate he can be, I’m not sure it’s going to be possible.
And from what I’ve seen in his mesmerising eyes, I’ve got to hope he feels the same…
Welcome to the Starlight Brides – where luck is optional, but the hot alien is guaranteed!
Snowed in with my Alien Boss by Lynnea Lee
The winter solstice is a time for friends, family, and festivities… and me driving out to my cabin in the woods to avoid it all, just like I do every year.
But when something trips my repair shop’s alarms, and the security feed shows my human receptionist half-dressed in the staff room, looking like she’s about to hunker down for the holidays all alone, my protective instincts has me turning the transport around against my better judgment.
I’ve craved Abby from afar, but she deserves so much better than a grumpy, washed-up ex-mercenary. Too bad the mate bond has other ideas, especially when the forecasted storm blows in early, snowing us in together.
Dancer and the Ice Bear by Eve Langlais
Deck the horns for your holiday FUC.
Holy jingle bells, Krampus has taken Santa’s Village hostage and it’s up to Dancer to fly into action and save Christmas!
Alas, her nose doesn’t shine bright like that annoying braggart Rudolph, and on her way to secure aid, she gets lost in a blizzard. Luckily, she crash-lands outside the home of a former FUC soldier, a polar bear with the know-how and connections to mount a rescue. Only Nanook refuses to help because this grumpy Scrooge hates the holidays.
However, the ice bear changes his mind when Krampus strikes close to home, kidnapping all the children in town—including Nanook’s twin daughters. With a fire lit under his furry butt, Nanook is ready to roar to the rescue and recruits a furry-minded crew to help him oust Krampus from Santa’s Village.
They’ll need to shake a paw if they’re going to pull off a holiday miracle, especially Dancer, who faces the biggest challenge of all; melting an ice bear’s heart.
Prize for the Alien Grumpus by Athena Storm
Freedom was so close I could taste it…
…until my boss turned out to be an alien from across the galaxy.
And not just any alien. But Krampus.
Yeah, that Krampus.
Horns, fur, claws, the works.
He’s a towering, terrifying legend, and now he’s crashing at my house, demanding hot chocolate and calling me his “magnificent mate.”
Did I mention the Grolgath assassins chasing us? Or the Christmas carolers narrowly dodging his death ray? It’s like Santa’s workshop collided with an alien invasion.
Somehow, this wild, otherworldly monster thinks we’re meant to be together.
And every time he rumbles “magnificent” in that gravelly voice, my heart—and my body—starts to believe him.
But surviving the holidays with Krampus means keeping my daughter safe, dodging galactic bounty hunters, and figuring out how to cohabitate with a seven-foot alien determined to make me his queen.
Merry freaking Christmas to me.
Nanny for the Demon’s Twins by Celeste King
I was looking for safety…
And now I’m trapped with a hot single demon daddy.
I’ve always been a slave. Now, I’m running from my cruel master.
When I stumble into Karn’s lair, I expect nothing from him but violence…
What I find is a family.
He offers me a deal – my help with two mischievous half-demon girls for his protection.
I thought it would be temporary.
I never expected the twins to win my heart…
Or for their uncle to steal it.
Now, I don’t want him to ever let me leave.
But demons and humans don’t mix.
And my past is hunting me.
Now I have to choose between running to keep them safe…
Or finally trusting the one thing I swore I never would.
A fierce demon.
