Bishop Jamie was not your stereotypical church leader. He was crass, greedy, and selfish. All of that would be his undoing, however, when a new parishioner accidentally dropped a vial of liquid in the collection plate. Will 19-year-old Deacon Tim take advantage of the situation and take the new nun hard and without protection? Or will he stop when he realizes that it's his former boss he's fallen for?

As heir to one of the powerful dragon houses, my father expects my mate to be a "proper match" for my position. He's spent years parading those he approves past me. I hated them all.

I was never human, not with shifter blood running through my veins. But now I know I’m more than that. I’ve touched magic. Some say I’m a goddess reborn, and that scares me almost as much as not knowing. I don’t want to be that. I want to be me. I want to forge my own destiny, not be forced into one. But if I want to choose my path, I’ll need to deal with a few problems first. Starting with the god I just robbed, who isn’t about to let me go. In fact, he’s sent a whole swarm of demons after me. Then there’s the insane brother of the god who I’m soul-bound to.

I should be free. Of him. Of everyone. But I’m not. I’m still here. I’m still Soulbound. Just not to my ex. Now I’m bound to an ancient shifter god. He’s all I could want in a man. If I’d been allowed to choose him. That’s not the only change however. I’m stronger. Faster. The others, they look to me for answers. I wish I had them. I’m making everything up as I go along, and I’m not sure what scares me more, the idea I might screw up, or the bigger question, the one that keeps me up at night.

I'm a lone female investigator, deployed on a secret mission to the flesh markets of Narelerth, when everything goes wrong. Within minutes, I'm put in chains and hauled up to the auction block. Now, my worst nightmare has happened. I'm taken by an alien warrior. He's completely wild, untamed. He carries me to his ship, and I'm shocked by the force of my own desire.

One last job before I go legit. An easy smuggling run, one crate off-planet and then I can leave all my dark secrets behind. Crash landing was not part of the plan. Neither was being rescued by a monster. Did I say rescued? Because I think I mean kidnapped. This muscle-bound alien is keeping me captive on his ship. And if he finds out what cargo I'm really carrying? I don't want to know what he'll do to me.

War tore me from home and dumped me on Novaria. My only hope lies in pleasing a brute. I'm sent to him as a tribute. I have one chance to entice him. Only one shot to win his good graces. The thing is...I'm not such an innocent waif myself. I'm used to men who hurt me. That take my heart and rip it to shreds. So the first touch of kindness from this scaly alien has me on edge. What is he preparing me for? How is he going to wound me?

She ran from him once before. Now fate is giving them a second chance. Grace Atkinson is back in her hometown, Five Peaks. A place she swore she’d never set foot in again. The only reason she’s back is to attend her ex-husband’s funeral. Not because of any leftover feelings, not for that jerk, but simply out of respect. The last thing she wanted while there, was to run into Braz. He’s still just as tall, just as handsome, and looking just as good in a suit. And he’s still the reason she left in the first place.

Two years of constantly moving to avoid her ex-husband’s stalking has taken its toll on Anne and 10-year-old Liam. She has high hopes that Five Peaks will be different, that perhaps they will be able to find some semblance of peace here, but her hopes are dashed when a fight breaks out in her bar. Now she has to make sure the handsome hunk who started it all by defending her honor is okay. The last thing she needs is a dead body on her dance floor.

Deputy Carla Frazer has been looking for a bust that will get her promoted for years. Now, she has it. Catching a member of The Five red-handed should be more than enough, despite the hatred the fop of a sheriff holds for her. Now, all she has to do is prove his guilt. His good looks, endless money, and disarming charm won’t be enough to save him from jail time. Not on her watch.

Sometimes, the real prize can’t be measured in bars of gold.... When a member of a reclusive rich family destroys her house, Emma Starling isn’t just looking for money to repair it. She wants the hunky stranger to know that he can’t just buy his way out of trouble. The local cops don’t seem to care, but she isn’t going to stop until he understands that there are consequences for actions. Even if that means launching a lawsuit against one of the most powerful families in Five Peaks. Asher Aterna just wants the problem to go away. He has other things to worry about.

When the sheriff assigns Rachel Corningstone to solve the greatest crime spree in Plymouth Falls history, she knows this is her shot. The big-city detective will prove to her new peers that she's more than just a pretty face. When a civilian consultant is forced upon her as a partner though, it might just be more than she can handle...Sent to the town of Plymouth Falls, bear shifter Khove has one mission: to find the traitor to House Ursa and kill him. It's a race against time, and Khove can't afford any distractions, but how is he supposed to stop himself from claiming his mate?

Haley Meynard is perfectly happy in her world of numbers as the accountant to House Ursa. Like her, they obey set laws and rules. So, when she's yanked from the comfort of her office and told to assist the same person she's just exposed as being a thief, all the rules go out the window. Thrown head-first into a world she never knew existed, Haley can't help but latch on to the numbers as a safety line. They don't lie, and they clearly show that Kincaid is the thief. He's adamant about being innocent, and so she decides to humor him. That is, until the facts start to support his claims.
