The Dragon's Mate
Summary
She’s a genie freed from her bottle. Only a dragon’s love can protect her now. Conley’s two brothers did the impossible: found their mates. With the threat to supernatural beings everywhere hanging overhead, Conley’s got too many bodies to guard to even dream about finding his own. Until he overhears a woman’s desperate voice on the phone, and for reasons he can’t explain, he’s just as desperate to save her. Nyx’s ability to read other people’s visions made her the council’s most wanted tool. Until she used it against them and became a target. Cornered, a heartbeat from capture and probable torture, she’s rescued by someone she didn’t even know existed. A man for whom she feels nothing. Nothing but desire. She’s not sure if she’s thrilled - or terrified. For herself, and for him. If Conley can just look once into her eyes, he’ll know for sure what’s driving his dragon wild. Except Nyx seems determined to look anywhere but at him. Conley’s waited hundreds of years for his mate. He can be patient a bit longer. Talking his dragon into that strategy? That’s a tall order. But when Nyx is kidnapped by the very evil they’re sworn to defeat, time could be running out for them both...

Preferably alive. Lucy is thrilled with her dream job - head scientist at a private lab, with her pick of plum projects. But lately, she suspects she’s surrounded by secrets. Sketchy meetings, people who arrive but don’t leave, and even hidden passageways. One peek behind a forbidden door, and too late, she remembers why she shouldn’t snoop. Kai was ready for anything, but he never expected to meet the desperate eyes of the one thing he never thought he’d find: his mate. Worse, she’s not the only complication. There’s a lab full of them. And a secret that could threaten the freedom - even the lives - of every more-than-human on the planet.

Deicide
Summary
What happens when all the myths, legends, and things that go bump in the night come out to the world as real? Well, the world does as it always does: It rejected them. Welcome to Avalantis, Alaska, the world’s first supercity with over 50 million myth and mundane citizens and home of those rejected by society. Although due to pesky things like murder end explosions, there are a few fewer citizens. When the former Greek god Hermes dies, three unusual cops from the Avalantis PD are recruited into a secret organization known as Mortal, who has apparently been watching the Myths for longer than mankind realizes. Their mission is to find and apprehend the mysterious figure known as “The Laughing Man”, the one responsible for a recent string of deaths. These three new recruits will have to use all their skill, strength, and wits to find and defeat the “The Laughing Man”. That is, if they don’t kill each other first. Agents of Mortal: Deicide is an action-comedy that is packed with excitement, laughs, and more than a few touching moments.

New from USA Today best-selling author Linzi Baxter, the first book in her exciting new paranormal romance series. She was supposed to be just a job. A paycheck. Now, she’s his destiny. Talia hadn’t planned on dying today. But accidentally defying the Supernatural Council isn’t exactly a wise life plan.

Now, Talia’s trying to lose herself in the West Virginia mountains with the child in tow. And the mercenary on their tail has an uncanny ability to find them, no matter how far they run. Kirin’s dragon-shifter senses make him the most sought-after bounty hunter in these parts. But something about this job smells...wrong. And when he finally gets his hands on the fugitive, he gets the surprise of his nearly 300-year life. The fragile, determined woman in his arms is the mate he’d given up all hope of finding. Now, instead of breathing down her neck, he’s bound to protect her at all costs. But if they can’t figure out who wants this child dead - and why - they could all wind up sharing the same grave. Note: The Dragon’s Psychic is the first of a three-book series. Each book will have a complete HEA romance, connected with a continuing plot that will conclude with book three.

Two of a Kind
Summary
Being bad is better...together. Spencer Dumas is an asshole, and he's fine with that. As the CEO of Dumas Industries, the billionaire playboy couldn't care less what people think of him. He's got money, power, prestige, and plenty of female attention to keep him satisfied. In fact, he wants for nothing, except possibly the one thing his wealth and privilege won't allow: a life of his own. Kayla O'Connell is a bitch and proud of it. Ask anyone in Pine Ridge and they'll be happy to bend your ear with tales of her terrible deeds. Kayla's the first to admit she's made some mistakes, but unlike everyone else, she's moved on. All she wants now is to live her life in peace without giving the gossip mongers anything else to talk about. Staying under the radar isn't hard - until she crosses paths with the corporate bad boy at an exclusive island resort. She knows she shouldn't, but there's no denying the instant and powerful sexual attraction between them. Being so far away from home, they can indulge their darker sides and do wicked, wicked things. No one ever has to know. It wasn't supposed to mean anything. It was only supposed to be a one-time thing, never spoken of again. After all, villains don't deserve happy endings. Or do they?
