Hot Heir
Summary
If I had to pick a bride of convenience, my first choice would not be Peach Maloney. My 50th choice would not be Peach. Top spot on my list of occupational hazards? Yes. Royal pain in the crumpets?

The kicker of this unexpected royal gift? In order to take the throne, I must find a wife. Have I mentioned Peach would not have been my hundredth choice? But I've no other options, and she needs a favor that my new position can fulfill quite nicely. So we've agreed to play the doting newlyweds out in public. In private, though, our rules are simple: No touching. No talking. And certainly no sex. I should have known better than to marry a rule-breaker. Contains mature themes.

Angles of Attack
Summary
The galaxy follows a logical structure. Legion Dark Operator Kel Turner believed that. To know the order of battle and how an enemy unit was organized was to know its purpose and how to destroy it. That logic existed down to the smallest scale, down to what made up life itself. To know a molecules structure was to know its function - they were one and the same. It was no different for Kel. He was Dark Ops and Dark Ops was him. Down to his last cell and very soul. But the covert action arm of the Legion is changing. And so is he. And if Dark Ops is no longer the same, how could Kel be Kel? From fighting a gray war against a cunning adversary bent on genocide, to slogging through a jungle hell full of rabid dog-men, Kel won't stop until the mission is complete. Kel was the mission. But if the day comes when there would no longer be a Dark Ops for Kel, what would his mission be then? Who would he become?

Spells of Iron and Bone
Summary
Magick is real. It's also highly illegal - not that I'm worried about that. Sure, I heal faster than most, and I've got a sixth sense for brewing tea that can fix just about any problem, but my cafe isn't exactly a hotbed of paranormal activity. At least it wasn't...until some psycho attacked me and woke up the freaky, forbidden magick inside, earning me a one-way ticket to jail. Now, a covert magickal university is offering me a deal: my freedom in exchange for help with the Tarot prophecies - cryptic predictions they believe hold the key to stopping a deadly apocalyptic plot. Predictions only I can decipher. Because the witch who divined them? She died years ago. I should know. She was my mother. Grab your grimoires, girls. Magick school's officially in session. All I have to do now is master my crazy powers, decode the doomsday prophecies, outwit a mean-girl coven that puts the psycho in psychic, and survive the temptations of one very naughty professor and three scorching-hot, overprotective mages shadowing my every move. There's only one problem. If I'm right about the prophecies? Survival isn't in the cards for any of us. Contains mature themes.

Insatiable
Summary
I didnt mean to see him naked - it was an accident. It had to be, right? Because Noah McCormick and I have never been anything more than friends. In all the years Ive known him, hes never once laid a finger on me. And even though he was a cute lifeguard at 16 and a hotter-than-hell sheriffs deputy at 34, he's always been that protective guy I could trust to keep his hands to himself. I never wanted to mess with that. Until I walked in on him getting out of the shower and saw his hard, muscular body totally bare and dripping wet. At that moment I never wanted to mess with anything so badly in my entire life. I should have covered my eyes. Said I was sorry. At the very least, I could have handed him a towel. After all, I was only in town for a few days, and he was just doing me a favor by escorting me to my sisters wedding. It wasnt a real date. But I didnt apologize. And he didnt cover up. (Talk about a hot mess.) After all those years of being just friends, suddenly were insatiable. Hes made it clear hes not interested in romance. Which is fine with me because Ive got a plane ticket back to my real life at the end of the week. Its all in fun...or is it?

Cocky Captain
Summary
Ex-fighter pilot Logan Reid is exactly the kind of man I despise. Hes a cocky jet jock, a former Navy Blue Angel, and full of all the arrogance that comes with being the best of the best. Im an ex-Zoomie, an Air Force tanker pilot. The rivalry between our sister services is nothing compared to that between fighter jocks and tanker pilots. Were bitter rivals, and Im low-man (woman) on the totem pole. The last thing I need is to spend six hours at 35,000 feet locked in a cockpit with the cocky captain. But I have no choice. Im his copilot, and were taking the CEO of Montague Enterprises and his family on a mini-vacation to the Grand Caymans. We have three days on the ground before we fly back. Three long days in paradise, and he wants to spend them all with me. I have a thing for fighter pilots. It isnt animosity, exactly, but rather a deep-seated dislike. They get all the glory while the rest of us sit at the butt end of their jokes and wither beneath their ridicule. I hate fighter pilots. There, I said it. I hate the arrogant pricks with a passion. But after one look into those magnetic eyes, and the devastating wink that follows, Im thinking of throwing caution to the wind. What harm can come from some innocent flirting? Besides, its not as if my job is at risk. Im not prepared for the air to sizzle when hes close. Im not ready for our explosive chemistry when he touches my skin. Im not equipped for the fallout when our three days come to an end. And I never expected to fall in love. But all good things come to an end. I wasnt prepared when I walked away. And I wasnt ready for what came next. Hes arrogant. Hes cocky. Hes determined to get what he wants. And hes refuses to let this end. Hes fighting for a forever...with me. But, Im not ready for our beginning. Hes arrogant enough to prove me wrong.

He was in the mysterious back elevator of my apartment building. Our eyes met for a fleeting second before the doors closed, and I was staggered. My breath was robbed. My senses on high alert. My body hummed. That was just the beginning. He was the leader of the mafia. I was about to fall in love with him, and his name...Cole Mauricio.

Spells of Breath and Blade
Summary
I spent my whole life believing magick was a curse - and that I didn't have enough of it to worry about, anyway. Turns out I was wrong on both counts. I'm so much more than a magick-blessed Academy student. I'm an Arcana Witch, bound to a sacred order whose sole duty is to protect magick - and one another - at all costs. Thankfully, I'm not alone. My Arcana magick brought four fiercely loyal, impossibly sexy Arcana mages into my life. But it also brought trouble. Corrupt Academy officials. Mysterious attacks stripping students of their power. And the terrifying Dark Arcana - five insanely powerful ancient beings desperate to reclaim the magick they believe is their sole birthright...and destroy the rest of us. Our best shot at defeating them is to track down the hidden Arcana artifacts - sacred Tarot relics that bind and balance all magick. But to do that, we'll have to embark on a dangerous otherworldly journey - one that will change us in ways even the Tarot can't predict. Surviving my first month at Arcana Academy was no easy feat, but compared to what's coming? That was training day. This is the real deal. And the fight is just beginning. Contains mature themes.

All About the D
Summary
Temptation has never come in a hotter package. You know how people say you can never believe what you read on the interwebs? That a hot guy online is probably a creeper with a beer gut and a shoe fetish, not the sexy beast he pretends to be? So I had no clue that the anonymous blogger who contacted my law firm about his naughty website would be droolworthy in real life. Not that I'm interested in him in that way. Attorneys can't go around sleeping with their clients. Not even if he is the most beautiful man I've ever met and so ridiculously smart he makes my nerdy-girl heart sigh. Besides, he has too much on the line to risk taking a chance on the insane chemistry building between us. We both do. I've always followed the rules. Too bad he makes me want to break each and every one of them.

Summary
Im screwed. Pippa just showed up uninvited with plans of staying the weekend. I can hardly handle an hour with her, let alone two days. Despite more than a year of dodging her, nothing has changed. Shes the only woman I want. Smart and sexy and bold. My best friends little sister. Forbidden. Denying my desire for her is torture. And she doesnt make it easy; she wants me, too. The thing is, making her mine means ruining my best friend.
