Queen Takes Queen
Summary
The Triune's attention is a deadly thing to attract. The world's oldest and most powerful vampire queens devise a plan to ensure the fledgling Isador queen is eliminated before she can call enough Blood to protect her. But Shara has already drawn formidable and famously powerful Blood to her side: Leviathan, king of the depths; Guillaume de Payne, the headless Templar knight; Wu Tien Xin, the silent invisible assassin; Nevarre, the Morrigan's own Shadow; and, of course, her first two Blood, Alrik and Daire, inexperienced, but extremely powerful in their own right. Though well fed on queen's blood and well loved, six Blood are not enough to stand against the mighty Triune. Shara needs more. She needs more Blood. She needs allies. What she really needs is a queen of her own. Contains mature themes.

Queen Takes Camelot
Summary
The Once and Future King has always been my curse. You think King Arthur is a hero. You blame me for the fall of Camelot. Because I refused to choose. Yes, I loved Lancelot. Once upon a time, I loved Arthur, too. I loved all of his friends, even Merlin, the cantankerous wizard. But Arthur's jealousy destroyed our love. He smashed the Round Table, banished Lancelot, and locked me in a burning tower. He would rather see me dead than love another man. Even his best friend. So now I'm doomed to repeat this grim tale over and over until Arthur wins my love. But this vampire queen will never choose Arthur. Not after what he's done. I will certainly never choose him over Lancelot. I will never settle for just one knight. Not when I can have them all. Oh, and this time? Arthur will be the Once and Dead King, because Camelot is mine. Contains mature themes.

The Billionaire Submissive
Summary
Lesson one: She makes the rules. Lesson two: Refer to lesson one. Donovan Morgan rules his billion-dollar international company with an iron fist. But in the privacy of his bedroom, he hungers for an iron lady to rule his body. Lilly Harrison helps her clients tame their personal demons by taming them. Lots of men - blue collar to white collar - enjoy female domination. But the ultra-rich and powerful CEO is alpha to the core. In public, that is. The challenge will be to teach him that bossy isn’t always better. Donovan selects his potential Mistress as carefully as a prime investment opportunity, and negotiates a contract as tight and binding as any corporate takeover. He must ensure his privacy at all cost - even if he has to resort to a little blackmail to ensure her full cooperation. When the indomitable Miss Harrison laughs in his face, tears his contract up, and walks out without a backward glance, it seals the deal. Donovan will have her. Even if she makes him crawl to her side. Warning: A billionaire used to buying everything he could possibly want - except in the bedroom; a Mistress determined to bring him to heel with her sexy red stilettos; inappropriate use of cherry pie and silk ties; and a steel-clad contract that will keep him exactly where she wants him.
