Day.

It wasn’t that Skyler Scanlon hated her life as an attorney,
she simply preferred being an erotic romance author. When her publisher not
only offered her a series contract but invited her to the hottest conference
located in Key West for Valentine’s Day, she decided Karma was kicking her
recently divorced ass into gear. When she met the rough-hewn cover model,
Dakotah Black, she was in awe. While he was immediately drawn to her, Skyler
was concerned he was fifteen years her junior. But somehow he’d found out every
one of her kinky desires including the need to be owned by a Master and the sparks
flew. When she resisted his advances, Dakotah made sure she was the winner of
one very hot contest.
Unfortunately secrets and lies haunted them and an individual intent on destroying both Skyler and Dakotah knew every wretched detail of their dark pasts. As the two lovers entered into a kinky relationship exploring every avenue of BDSM, a blackmailer emerged issuing threats and ultimatums. When the press found out the sordid details of their locked away lives, every aspect of their future was on the line. As Dakotah used every available resource to hunt down the person responsible including calling in favors that would cost him, the tables turned and suddenly neither he nor Skyler could trust anyone. As every aspect of their past slammed into the present, there was no doubt someone wouldn’t survive. Racing against time and their own private ghosts, two questions remained. Who was behind the ugly scheme and which one of them was going to die?

1332 Eastern Europe: The
worlds of God, Goddess and Satan collide in this epic tale of love, revenge and
forgiveness.
Two years ago Nicolai’s life, as he knew it, ceased to exist. On that one horrific day his wife was murdered and his daughter abducted and he’s been on the hunt ever since. But the baggage he carries is heavy— guilt. Guilt of not being there when he was needed most. Guilt of believing he wasn’t the husband and father he should have been haunts his every waking moment but above all else he’s determined to rescue his daughter from the ruthless clutches of the vampire known as Lord Valnar and destroy him to avenge his wife’s death.
Kaira is also on the hunt. Barmaid by necessity and hunter by choice she too has been injured by these blood thirsty beasts. Kaira and her companion, Gustav, have been destroying Valnar’s legion of undead for years, but at a high cost—her heart. She’s already seen to many of her comrades fall prey to Valnar’s men and she’s vowed not to let her heart get in her way again. Gustav, the Preacher, has a much different goal. For him it’s neither revenge nor lost love. His only goal and pleasure in life is to hear the faint utterance of the word “free” as a soul is released when a vampire is destroyed.
Together, Nicolai, Kaira and Gustav join forces toward one common goal—destroying Valnar but when a battle goes terribly wrong and despite his vow to love no other Nicolai finds himself in Kiara’s arms.
After rescuing the witch, Jessica, she joins the group but finds herself at odds with Gustav and his Christian beliefs. Nevertheless she’s still willing to help and calls upon the Goddess who leads them to the Gardos Tower. Once there they solve the mystery of Gardos and retrieve the sacred awe powerful Saint’s Sword from its guarded grave. But all hell breaks loose when Nicolai hears whispers on the wind warning him of betrayal and he begins to doubt everything and everyone around him. Even though he has the sword and is surrounded by his friends and lover he feels alone. Will he be betrayed by his lover, the preacher, the witch, the mercenary or his own heart?

Jackie spends her evenings as Delilah, a sex toy saleswoman, but her boyfriend,
Vince, has grown tired of her reliance on battery-powered toys to have an
orgasm. Under the ruse of a special weekend away, he lures her to his primitive
fish camp on Lake Maurepas, Louisiana, where he plans to delight her without
vibrators.
To Jackie, the camp is another world compared to her comfortable, Uptown New Orleans home, and she’s afraid she’ll lose this man due to her toy use, the exact same way she lost her ex-husband. But she doesn’t know if she can do without the toys. Or the man.

You know what “they” say . . . . There
are girls you don't take home to mother. There are girls you don't date on a
serious basis. There are girls that are fun to be around, but that you never,
ever consider for marriage. They're not nice girls. They're bad girls . . . and
you should never fall in love with a bad girl.
Or so they say.
But if all that’s true, then what is it about bad girls that make good guys want them so very . . . badly?
Andrew is definitely a nice guy. He’s a hard-working, decent Christian fellow. Good with his hands, honest, honorable, and does the right thing by his family and his church.
Pathrusim is definitely a bad girl. About as unchristian as you can get, what with her being a demoness, straight from the pits of hell itself. She wants to wrap Andrew around her little finger and enslave him for all eternity.
But what is it about Andrew that draws her to him? If she's such a bad girl, why does she want so badly to have a . . . nice guy?"

Was
it really possible aliens craved the finest French Champagne and watched the
Food Network or were the stoic men from the planet Zagan on Earth for another
purpose? That’s what Deirdre Miller, a well-respected food and wine critic, was
determined to find out. Stealing aboard their unattended ship for an exclusive
interview, she was caught red handed. Undaunted by the four golden haired, sexy
hunks, she jumped into her job, asking them questions. Unfortunately, she had
no idea she’d just become part of their Fertility Festival on their home planet
and there was a possibility she would never return home.
Kidnapped and heading into the galaxy, Deirdre was incensed until she heard their plea. Against all odds, she allowed herself a tryst with the men and Prince Dragar claimed her as his mate. A brooding man, he had the most to lose. Their planet barren, she was one of their last hopes to conceive and give their world an heir, but the weary warriors would have to win their yearly contest first or face losing her.
With a little help from their Chef, a decadent and very edible creation was prepared with her as the centerpiece. But would it be enough or the beginning of the end? Unfortunately the creatures kept dark secrets, ones that could threaten their budding love and also destroy the man who would be King. With few choices, a battle ensued. Could Deirdre learn to forgive?

Instead, she is captivated by the Edwardian beauty and intrigued by the ghost. When the original owner manifests himself, he’s both charming and witty.

One afternoon, while pretending to visit the past, the impossible becomes real for a short span and they realize that if they visited 1904 once, they can do it again.

With just enough pluck to try, they attempt to bend time to their will and if they succeed, then they may find a love to stand the test of time.

S. Scott Twigg...
In a vengeful quest, Jeremiah Stone kidnaps a member of the mob and incurs the wrath of both God and the Devil. Within days, he’s had to make some hard choices concerning the lives of others, cheated certain death a half dozen times through both luck and skill, and used up almost every favor he’d ever gained. All of which put him in his current position, treading the line of love and hate with the object of his affections caught somewhere in the middle. Life never turns out as planned, he thought frowning internally. So contemplating his situation and realizing he had no choice but to continue, Jeremiah reached into his backpack. Pulling forth a piece of paper, he hands it to NYPD Captain Eric Hallaman.
“What’s this,” Eric asks.
“Consider it my last will and testament,” Jeremiah answers. Then, without waiting for a response, he takes two quick strides and leaps towards the other rooftop leaving the captain alone with his nemesis CIA operative Opus Wright. Halfway across the span between buildings, Jeremiah hears bullets plunk into the ledge behind him while others whiz past his head. Nothing like leaping out of the pan and into the fire, Jeremiah thinks as the night swallows him.
Would it matter if he knew his soul is caught in a divine bet between God and the Devil, both of whom denied him death twice? And its death he desires, he just doesn’t want to go out peacefully.

Dylan Johnston has a way with animals. A dog whisperer, some
say. Not that he’d admit to such an odd ability. All he wants is to work on a
ranch as a plain ol’ cowboy, and he’s found that place on Larsson Ranch in Montana. However, the family has a rule, one he may
have trouble keeping: don’t date the daughter.
Friea Larsson promised she’d return to the ranch after completing veterinary school, and she does despite a tough-love family and townsfolk who think she’s strange, especially after she speaks out at a town hall meeting in favor of non-lethal methods for combating wolf predation.
Dylan and Friea meet when he brings in his critically injured dog, the victim of a wolf attack. He falls for her take-charge attitude, even though it could cost him his job. Friea feels an attraction, too, but all that changes when he tells her of his ability to understand what dogs are thinking. She’s reluctant to believe him, yet she needs him for more than protection from the violent actions of some ranchers.
