Thomas “Ratchet” Golding used to be a fearsome and powerful werecat. Until he and his wicked clan of Alley Cats messed with the wrong coven of witches. Now a curse has crippled his animal and made him question his entire existence. He knows if he’s ever going to break it and heal his cat, he has to learn to love. Easier said than done when he was bred and raised to hate, hurt, and maim. But he’s gotten used to finding treasure among the ruins. Whether it be his life or the trash heap the Alley Cats call home, he can spot the gold among the muck. And he’s about to find the greatest treasure of all.

My boss is a dragon and he tastes like magic.
When I say I’m clumsy, I’m not being cute. With the amount of things I have tripped over, dropped on myself, and fallen into, it’s a miracle I am still alive.
So how the hell did I end up working in a restaurant kitchen? And not just any kitchen – this one is run by the notorious chef Draco Domanski, who cannot abide people tripping on asparagus stalks or spilling coffee down his shirt. (Which I do not regret. The memory of that wet shirt clinging to his abs keeps me warm at night.)
He hates me. And yet, he can’t let me go. Because there is a certain… service… only I can perform for him. Or more accurately – on him. Which makes hating Draco very hard.

Dr. Ben Arnold is still grieving the death of his wife, Roxanne, when he puts in an ad for a nanny. On Friday the 13th, Jessica James arrives for an interview. Because of the instant attraction between them, Ben refuses to even consider her for the position. But the ancient housekeeper knows how to nudge the rude widower in the right direction.
Jess is determined to prove to the handsome widower that she is the perfect choice to nanny his daughter, no matter how much he scowls at her. Her tenacious determination to prove herself is a hurricane that disrupts Ben's life, but it may also be the balm his broken heart needs.

Weakness means death. Or worse.
After I was abandoned as a child, I was taken in by the Shadow Pack. A group of ruthless, lawless, shifters who have only one rule: never let anyone see your weakness.
In exchange for them keeping me alive, I owe them. The leader of the Shadows is as handsome as he is ruthless. And he’s offered to wipe my debt in exchange for marriage. He’d offer protection, but it would cost me my freedom.
Survival in the Shadows depends on back alley deals and shady alliances. It’s become a way of life that I stopped questioning years ago. When a routine burglary goes wrong, I find myself captured by the one family I never should have crossed.
The Umbra family owns this city. They make us Shadow wolves look like the good guys. They should have killed me for my crimes, but there’s a tiny problem… It turns out Madoc Umbra is my fated mate.

After a deadly virus wipes out most of the world's population, those of us who survive are left as food for the Damned, the walking corpses ravaged by the infection.
Yet, something far more sinister stirs in the bowels of New York City. The Four Horsemen are prowling the streets, kidnapping young girls and dragging them back to their lair. And when a supply run becomes a rescue mission turned deadly, I'm left at the mercy of a sexy stranger.
Jax Constantine weaves himself into my life with blood tingling charisma and a smile that rekindles my hope in love. But a dark secret lurks beneath his penetrating gaze and sizzling touch. One he's not willing to share, leading me to believe he might not be the man I thought.

Cole Holton is a burden.
At least that is what he tells himself, and death would be the only way to end the nightmare known as his life.
Until he meets Mallena, a woman with the stars in her eyes and a curse haunting her heart. A woman who is losing the one thing she gave him... Hope.
Can Cole break the curse and free Mallena from despair? Or will he fail and fall to his own demons?

All I wanted was to travel the world. My world. Not some alien planet that’s trying to kill me at every step.
One minute, I’m admiring the pyramids, the next, I’m being abducted by aliens. Then something goes horribly wrong, and my pod crashes on the most hostile island. And right on top of another alien’s ship!
Thev is a massive wall of green-skinned muscle, all covered in tribal tattoos. Oh, and he has long, sharp tusks! Basically, he looks like an orc from fantasy movies, but when I tell him that, he disagrees. He says he’s a Zokunian, not an orc. And he also says I’m in his way, and he’s on a mission.
I hate it that I have to beg him to help me. What I don’t hate is the Zokunian custom of going around shirtless.

Until next week!
