Chosen by the Vampire Kings
Summary
Every hundred years, tradition dictates that all eligible females in Sweetwater assemble for the choosing ceremony. Two vampire kings have separate territories within the surrounding countryside. Both are eager to pick their future brides. What a waste of her freaking time. Tanya is among the many women at the choosing ceremony. As far as she's concerned it's an outdated, sexist event and if it wasn't mandatory she so wouldn't be here. It's not important that the two males are ridiculously rich and handsome. Deep down she knows a plain Jane like her will never be picked by one of the kings anyway. Many of the women in the town square are stunningly beautiful and model thin. Most seem enthusiastic about being a queen even if it means being mated to a blood sucker, which suits her just fine. Imagine her surprise though when King Brant sets his sights firmly on her. Once a vampire king has decided, there's no going back. But her home is in Sweetwater. Being forced to live among the vampire species... big gulp... forced to mate with a vampire... is not what she had in mind for herself. Maybe she can convince him to let her go, to pick again. If not, she'll have to find a way to escape his - very muscled and rather delicious - clutches. Contains mature themes.

Royal Dragon
Summary
Dragon Shifter Novel Dragon shifters are a dying breed. There are so few females left that if drastic measures are not taken, and soon, it'll be over for the species. The threat of extinction looms. King Blaze finally accepts that there is no other option but to evoke an age-old tradition. The Hunt. The eligible dragon shifter males must hunt a handful of females. It's first catch, first serve. The biggest problem is that the females are human. Despite feedback to the contrary, Coal thinks they are weak and breakable. In his opinion, not capable of surviving the hunt, let alone the mating that will follow. He doesn't believe that a lowly human is capable of birthing him a royal heir, so why has his brother, the king, tasked him with claiming one? He can't believe this is happening to him. Especially when most of the males in their tribe are willing to accept one of these puny females. Not him. He's never rutted with one and doesn't have any desire, whatsoever, to rut with one in the future, let alone mate and impregnate one. Claiming one of these females will not be an easy feat considering there are three other dragon tribes vying for the opportunity. How the hell is he supposed to do all of this when he doesn't want to come within a mile of one of these unsavory creatures? Guaranteed HEA! The story contains strong sexual themes/language and is not intended for listeners under the age of 18.

Stolen by the Alpha Wolf
Summary
The arrogant vampire kings have always proclaimed themselves to be the rulers of all the non-humans making war between the species inevitable. In order to win, it is imperative that the shifters steal the chosen human female. The alpha wolf will take her for himself thus weakening the position of the bastard kings. No heirs means no future for the vampires. Something Ward didn't bank on was that the yellow-bellied elves would turn tail forcing the wolves to flee or face defeat. In desperation, one of Ward's pack members grabs a female vampire taking her with him to the wolves' hideout deep in the mountains. The alpha is forced to take responsibility of the female until the dust settles...there are things that she may not find out about the shifters...things that would put them at further disadvantage against the vampires. In a few short days, he'll take her back to Sweetwater himself. It soon becomes clear that being in such close proximity to this refined, delicately beautiful creature is pure torture. A few days suddenly feels like a lifetime. How he longs to be able to get under her skin and make her lose a little bit of that ironclad control she's so desperate to hold onto. It doesn't help that some of the shifters want her dead, while others wouldn't mind taking her for themselves. Shifter females are in short supply. Stephany watches how her estranged mate is struck with arrow after silver-tipped arrow while she is dragged away by one of the enemy. Lance falls to his knees, dying from his wounds just as Stephany is knocked unconscious. After accidentally mating Lance 20 years ago, she has remained celibate ever since. So long that she no longer even craves the touch of another, so long she doesn't even go into heat anymore. Forced to remain at the alphas side, her resolve is sorely tested. Suddenly, she's feeling things she shouldn't be feeling; her own body is betraying her in worst of ways. She needs to stay strong. Especially since Ward is a wolf, and she a vampire...sworn enemies. Contains mature themes.

A Mate for Gideon
Summary
Have you ever wanted to date a vampire? Human women required. Must be enthusiastic about interactions with vampires. Must be willing to undergo a stringent medical exam. Must be prepared to sign a contractual agreement which would include a non-disclosure clause. Limited positions available.... Jenna has a few skeletons in her closet. One of which is tall, dark, and gorgeous. He also happens to be a vampire with a grudge against her. She's made mistakes and has done things she's not proud of. The time has come to take charge of her life. The opportunity to do just that comes along in the form of an acceptance into the infamous vampire program. Would she like to date a vampire? Hell yes! But not just any vampire, her vampire. That is, if he'll ever forgive her. With such a dark past, she worries whether she'll ever be able to confront him and, in so doing, bare her soul to him. It would kill her to see the disgust and contempt in his eyes when he finds out...her heart clenches and her eyes mist at the thought. Gideon is almost brought to his knees when he realizes that Jenna is one of the females that's taking part in the dating program. His Jenna. No! Not his. Not anymore. What the hell is she doing here? With all he knows about her, there's no way that she was able to meet all the minimum criteria required for acceptance. Not a damned chance! He's not interested in her...or any human female for that matter. That said, he also refuses to just stand by and watch her get seduced by one of the victorious 10, elite males. His only option is to find a way to expose her as the deceptive female that she is.

Water Dragon
Summary
A Dragon Shifter Novel Torrent took part in the much-anticipated hunt. Luckily, he managed to secure himself a female. Although the human was not his first choice, she'll do. A fertile female is a fertile female after all. An heir is what he needs and an heir is what she'll give him. In return, she'll get to be queen of the water kingdom. What more could a female wish for? Candy is hunted like an animal and won by an arrogant shifter who doesn't even want her. She doesn't care that he's a king. So what if he's really good looking and that underneath all that bristling, alpha male is a sweet guy. Although sweet is probably not the right description for the savage, water king. The only thing he's interested in is mating her, so that she can pop out lots of dragon shifter babies. Well, no thanks! She's not interested. As soon as she's able to get that through his thick skull, she's out of there. Torrent promised her she could leave if things didn't work out between them and she plans on holding him to his word. This book can be listened to as a standalone but would be best enjoyed as a part of the series. (Start with Chosen by the Vampire Kings.) Please note: The story contains strong sexual and violent themes/language and is not intended for listeners under the age of 18.
