  Carpathian Wolf (Shift Your Fate, Book 0.5) by Cara Wylde

  Rebecca Gilbert is a sexy, curvy, and confident woman who knows what she wants. She’s a successful and respected chartered accountant in New York and seems to have her life figured out. The only problem is she can’t find the right guy to share it with.

  Sick and tired of the dating scene, stressed because of her demanding job, Rebecca needs a new perspective. That’s why she takes her friend’s advice and goes to see Kassandra, who is well-known for her abilities as an…empath. The old woman doesn’t only feel what Rebecca feels, but also knows exactly how to help her. However, when she tells her to pack her bags and board a plane to Europe first thing in the morning, Becca thinks she’s insane. On the other hand, she does need a vacation.

  A new country, a strange language, a small medieval fortified city in the heart of the mountains… It’s safe to say Rebecca is forced to step out of her comfort zone. The empath told her she’d find her destiny here. She doesn’t know much about destiny, but she knows the tourist guide, Emil Severin, is one of the hottest men she’s ever seen. Green eyes, dirty blond hair, a wicked smile, and an adorable, panty-melting accent–yes, he’s exactly what she needs. Emil seems to want her too. In fact, he can’t keep his hands off her. Then why is he holding back? There’s something he doesn’t want to tell her, something that prevents him from taking her hard and fast. Well, tough luck, because Becca is determined to find out what it is. If Emil is, indeed, her destiny, then she’s not letting him go without a fight.

  Matching Dragons by Rachael Slate

  Nothing—and no one—will stand in her way.

  Kadence Thorne will do anything to save her sister, even risk the fury of her seductive new Lotus League partner, Lok. But she didn’t join the secret league of assassins to become a Lotus, and failing the entry test was only the beginning. As punishment, they’re sent to the island of the Eight Immortal, Han Xiangzi. Only through offering the Immortal a trade he can’t resist can she find a cure for her sister. And Lok? Well, he’ll just have to tag along for the ride.

  An outcast in one world, a fugitive in the other.

  Amongst his dragon kin, Lok of the Shenlong Dragons is an azure-scaled beast, capable of manipulating the skies to his every whim. In the human realm, he is Lok Smith, a powerless human who must conceal his true identity at all costs. Falsely accused of murdering his den-mates, Lok has spent the past century searching for their killer—and a way to clear his name. When the Matchmaker offers him her aid in exchange for joining her Lotus League, it’s a chance Lok can’t refuse. Even if it means being paired with a woman as intoxicating as she is infuriating.

  Pushed to the edge of passion…

  Kadence’s search brings Lok dangerously close to exposure. Even worse, there’s a treasure hidden inside Kadence, one that he—and every other dragon—will do anything to possess. When Kadence’s schemes throw his plans off-balance, Lok will have to straddle both worlds and pray they don’t collide.

  Gabrielle's Cauldron by Ann Gimpel

  Hybrids and full bloods became sworn enemies millennia ago.

  A hybrid witch, a full blood warg, and a fairy make unlikely companions, but maybe that’s what it takes to save the world.

  Gabrielle McCallaghan sucked it up and quit a job she hated to spare her uncle the embarrassment of firing her. With her bond fairy on her shoulder, she strides through a crowded neighborhood contemplating her options.

  Out of nowhere, a striking, full blood magic wielder appears and makes a beeline right for her. Gabby’s hybrid witch magic is no match for his, so she tries to evade him. The fairy does her best to help, but the contest is laughable. Even in his human form, the wolf-man is far stronger than she—or the fairy—ever dreamed of being.

  With sex as a lure, Gabby is drawn into a deadly game of intrigue that started over a thousand years before. The stakes are high and the timing abysmal, but she falls in love in spite of herself. Can she and her full blood lover make a life for themselves? Or will the long-running battle between full bloods and hybrids pound the fragile bond between them to dust?

  Strangers in the Night

  (Desert Wolf 2)

  A Twin Moon Ranch short story by Anna Lowe

  Chapter One

  Ty strode across the central square of the ranch, heading for his mate’s office while making ticks on his mental packing list. Had he forgotten anything?

  Food for three days? Check. Cozy pillow for Lana’s quirky back? Check. The book his sister gave him five months ago—The Expectant Dad’s Pregnancy Handbook? Check. He needed another look at chapter six: Complications—the Myths & the Realities. It scared the shit out of him, but what about all this didn’t?

  He’d learned that six months ago, because making a baby and having a baby were two completely different things. The making part was easy, fun. Thrilling, even, knowing that coming inside his gorgeous, perfect mate meant more than just another high for him and her.

  Just another high? his inner wolf snickered.

  Yeah, okay, the highs were pretty damn high. The way it always was with Lana. That feeling of one plus one being a lot more than two.

  Except now they were a couple of months away from being three, and Christ, along with the wonder of watching Lana’s baby bump grow came a whole mountain of worry. What if something went wrong? What if Lana or the baby weren’t okay? Worst of all was the nagging question: What good would he be as a father? There didn’t seem to be a book on that one, and his packmates’ encouraging slaps on the back didn’t quite cut it.

  You’ll do fine, man, his brother kept saying. As if Cody knew about anything except chasing skirts.

  Ty kept up his quick pace over the ever-changing patterns of light and shade cast by the mighty cottonwoods overhead. Trees that had stood there for more than a hundred years and would still be there long after he moved on. The leaves rustled in the barely perceptible breeze.

  You’ll do fine, they seemed to say.

  Right, fine. Except fine wasn’t good enough, not for his child. And that was the problem. No—he was the problem. Ty had the desire to be a good dad but hardly the right resume. He barely remembered his mother, and his father had been more of a drill sergeant than a dad. Then there was that depressing nature documentary Lana had on the TV one night—the one that concluded that monkeys with good parents went on to become good parents while monkeys with bad parents were pretty much doomed to failure. Christ. Where was the inspiring documentary about little monkeys who overcame the odds?

  But he damn sure wouldn’t let on to anyone about his fears, especially not Lana. He’d have t
o take things one step at a time. And today’s step covered a different part of the agenda: convincing Lana to slow down a little. With six months down and three to go, it seemed like a good time to downshift into a lower gear. Lana sure as hell deserved a break. The question was, would she ever give herself one?

  “Hey, Ty, about the cattle auction…” One of his packmates came up—and immediately withered away at the look he got in response.

  Ty knew what the man saw: a smoldering mountain of muscle and alpha pride, eyes as black-brown as his hair, glowing like embers the way they always did when he got worked up. But hell, the guy deserved it. Why did everyone have to come to him with every little thing? He wouldn’t have minded if it were something serious: a report of rogue activity, or a marauding pack of shapeshifting puma or grizzlies or one of the other shifter species they rarely saw these days. But cattle auctions? As pack alpha, he didn’t have to micromanage every little detail. Lana was right about that. The problem was finding a trustworthy second-in-command.

  It was the same for Lana. She was so goddamn good at her job that someone or other was always barging into her office with what they considered urgent business. But just because Lana could handle anything didn’t mean she had to handle everything. Worse still was her stubborn insistence that she get as much as possible done before the baby arrived. Didn’t she know that the more she worked her way through dusty ranch documents, the more space it cleared for new work to come in?
