A woman with a broken heart . . .

A soldier who never dreamed he’d become a duke . . .

Phoebe Smythe, Countess of Borwick, suffers a tragic miscarriage when she learns her husband and young son have been killed in a carriage accident. The grieving widow retreats to an isolated cottage on the coast of Cornwall, where she finds a smuggler who’s washed ashore, blood leaking from a bullet wound.

Captain Andrew Graham returns home from the Napoleonic Wars after the death of his older brother, finding his father on his deathbed. Soon he becomes the Duke of Windham and must deal not only with numerous responsibilities but his wayward half-brother, who has amassed a mountain of debt and then shoots Andrew so he can become the new duke.

Andrew awakens to an angel of mercy, Mrs. Smith, a middle-class widow who nurses him back to health. She thinks he’s a criminal, which amuses him, but he soon falls in love with her beauty and spirit. On the day he decides to ask for her hand in marriage, she disappears and he has no way to find her—until he spies her across a London ballroom.

Though her heart belongs to the Cornish smuggler she left behind, Phoebe places herself once more on the Marriage Mart. She yearns to be a mother again—which means finding a husband.

What will Phoebe do when she learns that her Mr. Andrew is none other than the famous Duke of Renown? 

She’s a witch. He hunts killers.
Solving murders is just the foreplay.
Maggie Maxwell didn’t mean to become the town’s newest scandal.

But moving into her dead uncle’s haunted manor came with more than creaky headboards—it came with murders. Multiple. Right in her backyard.

And a six-foot-four officer, built like a wall of muscle and her filthiest desires, babysitting her like she’s breakable. He’s brooding, bossy, and overprotective—and Maggie? She’s sworn off quick flings. Especially since her love spell has a new side effect: obsessive, zombie-like exes who abandon their families just to worship the ground she walks on.

Oops.

Life for Officer Graham Locke was simple. Thought he’d buried his past. But the new girl in town is the kind of trouble that unearths everything. Protecting her was supposed to be his job—not his kink. And all those years he’d spent denying the unexplainable? Yeah, they were for nothing.

Now it’s one supernatural nightmare after another.

But all he really wants—besides her—is a drink and maybe a slice of pie.

Ellis Cole is an FBI research analyst assigned to observe a giant white rabbit while he’s on Earth. Wherever he goes, Ellis must follow. Never told to be covert about it, Ellis finds the only way for him to keep up is by slowing his bouncy bunny down. Getting naked wasn’t part of the plan, but it seems to be working.

Commander Seiwa Heremond is an engineer tasked with getting human technology up to Norlon standards. An easy task, right? They’re only about a century behind. And then Seiwa discovers his mate is the human man who keeps following him around. Might Ellis follow other directions? He’s too irresistible not to try.

With the FBI making demands for new tech, and NASA begging for anything at all that the Norlons will provide, Ellis is determined to help all humans everywhere benefit. But what would help every single person on Earth for free?

Tobias Ahlberg is a reluctant sixth generation fisherman in a country that no longer wants to support fishing. His entire focus is on getting his stubborn father to follow him into aquaculture, while also earning money any way he can. While he wasn't looking for love, he's thrilled to discover that fated mates are real and he's one of them.

Halaby Revazi has been a ship’s doctor for twenty years and now he’s also leading the medical branch of the delegation to Earth. His stress levels are skyrocketing…and he’s not okay. While on a forced leave for the sake of his mental health, he discovers Tobias is his mate and it brings up a lot of questions about what their future might hold. The human mates of Halaby’s friends have happily given up their lives on Earth, but Tobias has a family that needs him.

Changing their lives isn’t easy, but Tobias and Halaby are determined to get things right this time around.

Sergeant Rampon Molwynog is a Cero soldier assigned to protect the prince and the prince's mission to bring aid to the humans of Earth...even if some of the humans keep resisting those efforts. While on a team investigating a recent rash of break-ins at nanobot distribution centers, Rampon is accidentally abducted by the perpetrators. Knowing his team will find him shortly and not looking forward to explaining what happened, he's taking a much-needed break while waiting for rescue.

Quincy Boone is a Marine without a mission and half a leg who happens to overhear that some local boys captured an alien. Not willing to let that go, Quincy finds where they're holding the big lizard and helps free him. It's while they're hiding out in Quincy's basement that curiosities come out and things get x-rated. Then the bad guys show up at Quincy's door and send the pair on a high speed chase to get away.

When the dust finally settles on their adventures, will these two soldiers have what it takes to stay together, even if it means one of them gives up everything else in his life?

Squire Landry has lived in a hell of his mother's making ever since she joined up with a hate-filled church that's now led her to Humans First, the domestic terrorist group determined to rid Earth of aliens. Squire doesn't believe the aliens mean any harm, but when his mother and her pastor insist he apply to become a sex worker—the only thing the aliens have asked of humans—Squire sees a chance to escape.

Administrator Ghosha Progoni Rijal has reached the end of his rope when it comes to dealing with human politicians who would rather condemn than encourage free will. He'd known humans could be prudish about sex, but hadn't expected this much pushback over a viable and highly-desired career choice. And then he meets a frightened, desperate young man who is his fated mate.

Believing he's finally free, Squire also figures he'll have no problem at all becoming a sex worker if his reaction to the big tiger alien who's recruited him is any indication. Maybe Ghosha can be the one to train the virginity right out of him? But when Ghosha explains what Squire is to him, it's pretty clear Squire has won the relationship lottery.

Owen Devin had hoped that being invited to visit the Norlon spaceship with his governor father was how they would begin to repair their relationship. Never did he suspect that his father would become a terrorist by setting off a bomb, disabling the ship, and actually murdering people. And had he hoped to take out Owen too?

When Owen wakes after the explosion in the arms of the tall and strong fox-like captain of the ship, all he wants to do is cling to someone who doesn’t hate him. The more time he spends with Pysina Langarus, the more Owen wants to stay and…thank him. That Py can’t resist laying claim to Owen with claws and teeth and knotting eases something deep in Owen’s soul.

As Owen figures out what he wants to do with his life and the ship recovers from the bomb, his relationship with Py grows more intense every time they’re together. And while Py is willing to declare that Owen is his to everyone who’ll listen, can Owen do the same or will shame and fear keep him silent?

When a twist of fate throws university student Crys Murphy into an unexpected job on tour with a wildly successful rock band, her crush on the guitarist turns into powerful temptation. But there’s a dark side to the glamour and champagne: Blade has anger and addiction issues, a history of partying with groupies, and a tendency to get naked in public — and Crys is supposed to keep him out of trouble.

As she gets to know the talented and lonely man behind the bad boy behavior, the chemistry between them wavers on the edge of something deeper. But he doesn’t do relationships, and she grew up expecting a white-picket-fence future. Can he reform and open his heart to love? Will she give up her straitlaced upbringing for her troubled rock star?

My high school crush is everything to me. Under normal circumstances, you’re ready to graduate and get away from your overbearing family. I hated leaving her behind to pursue my college career, and honestly, I’ve been lonely as hell since. Missing her smile, her voice, her sharp as hell tongue—everything.

It’s been a few years but I waited like a good boy. Waited for her to turn eighteen, choose to leave her abusive father behind, and run away with me.

Now?

I’m back for her. If I have anything to say about it, she’ll put this damn town in the rear view mirror and never look back.

Unfortunately, some things don’t work out.
