Out of the shadows steps a golden god... a man who has escaped the destiny of every blond haired, blue eye child, life in the temples until the age of puberty -- the age of sacrifice.
For those whose need is greatest, a golden puma will appear…
The shapeshifter Karrak knows only two purposes in life -- revenge on the corrupt priests who murdered his mother because of her blond hair and blue eyes, and rescuing every light-haired, pale-eyed child the priests find. Nothing is more important than their lives -- until he sees the healer Mireya bathing in a forest pool. The puma that shares his soul screams out in recognition. Mireya is his soulmate! His!
For Mireya, nothing is more important than caring for her people. Then Karrak appears from the shadows -- a blond-haired, blue-eyed god of a man, a man totally unlike any she'd ever seen before. She discovers a hot, sensual passion she can't deny. But the man disappears in a cloud of golden mist and a puma appears in his place. She's fallen in love with a shapeshifter! When Karrak is captured by the priests, Mireya risks everything to save him. Man, god, shapeshifter, puma -- it doesn't matter. Love is more important than anything else.

QUICKIES - PERFUMED HEAT:
Since the death of his mate, the desire for another to take her place lay dormant in Artemis Gray's soul. No female could ever take her place, and he was content with his life as it was. Then, Moira Archer, a human woman, entered his life, her rich, earthy scent combined with the perfume she wore enticing all of his senses.
Like a fist in his abdomen, desire shot through him. The werewolf in his soul awoke and howled in triumph. Mine!
IN THE HEAT OF THE NIGHT:
Serena Wilde is anything but serene. The full moon is tonight. She has to get away, or she'll be far wilder than her sexy boss could ever anticipate.

Dr. Kearnan Gray might be an expert on wolves, but he didn't know a damn thing about werewolves, especially one that was about to come into heat.
CELESTIAL PASSIONS: BRIANNA:
All Brianna did was what any other decent human being would do - rescue a pair of aliens her boss was about to dissect and get them back to their space ship. In the process, she ended up as a medical experiment of one of their scientists.
Captain Alalakan don al Charadadon was not about to let Dr. Bakon don al Rodak conduct his ridiculous sexual experiments on an inhabitant from this newly discovered world, even if it meant he had to marry her to save her.
So, Brianna finds herself hurtling through space married to a very sexy alien from a planet where hedonishm is the norm, and there are three sexes, male, female, and hermaphrodite. And Rodak wants her back and is willing to do anything to get her
NIBBLES 'N' BITS:
What's a good, old country boy vampire supposed to do when a smartass city-slicker female barrels into his life and totally disrupts it? What’s wrong with hunting deer for their blood – with a rifle, having a big, bushy beard, drinking beer out of Mason jars, and sleeping in the bathtub? And what’s wrong with his name? He was named after his grandfather. Rusty Nipple is a fine name.
Amber is ready to bite nails. Rusty won’t stop sleeping in the bathtub, he won’t shave off his beard, he won’t stop drinking beer out of mason jars, and he won’t bite men. He won’t even change his name! Who ever heard of a vampire named Rusty Nipple, a name that sounds like a really bad mixed drink. How is she supposed to write about a suave, sexy, debonaire vampire if Rusty won’t cooperate?
Belle can finally take a vacation. Her father Artemis is happily married again, and he and her brother Brendan are more than capable of managing the family business without her for a few weeks.
Alex has lost the woman he expected to marry to another werewolf, an abomination whose werewolf father had mated a real wolf, then taught the cubs she birthed to assume human form. Abomination!
When Belle found Alex in the woods, bleeding from a gunshot wound, she took him to her cabin and nursed him back to health - and love.
But what will Alex do when he discovers the woman he's falling in love with is a sister to the man he hates most, a woman who had a wolf for a mother?

What is true? What isn't?
According to legend, if one's need is great enough, a jaguar will come, a jaguar who can change into a man.
Spread-eagled and naked on a sacrificial altar, Sanika's need is great - and it is answered...by Balam, the huge, black jaguar that rescues her and carries her back to his lair where he nurses her back to health -- and love.
In the hot, bubbling pools and deep darkness of Balam's volcanic cave, Sanika discovers the joys of physical intimacy with a sleek, lithe being who is far more than human. From the first, gentle rasp of his rough tongue against her sensitive skin, she is lost in a sulty, sensual dance of desire.
For Balam, their union is far more profound. This beautiful, sexy woman accepts him for what he is -- half man, half beast. All he had to do is convince her to stay.

THE 12 NIGHTS OF CHRISTMAS:
Hardworking Ruth only wants to be able to sleep the night through without being awakened by her rowdy neighbors who like to party into the wee hours of the morning. When they don't acknowledge her polite requests to turn down the noise, she calls the police, figuing quite correctly that the authorities be very interested in what looked like a large bloodstain in the snow in their back yard.
Derek, Bill, and, especially Allister, are annoyed by their straightlaced neighbor's complaints. What they do in their house is none of her business so they decide to stop her complaints once and for all. Scaring her into silence shouldn't be a problem, especially since one of them is a werewolf and the other two are vampires. A quick break-in, a little mind control, and she won't bother them any more.
But, Ruth is not the quiet, prim and proper woman they expected. Instead, she meets them downstairs wearing a skimpy, red satin teddy and weilding a fireplace poker. Derek is knocked unconscious, and Bill ends up with a lump the size of a Christmas tree ball on his head. Only Allister is able to escape injury and capture their angy neighbor in his arms.
This Christmas Eve is one Ruth will never forget.
CELESTIAL PASSIONS: SHEALA:
Raised on the hedonistic planet Drakan, Sheala learned a myriad of ways to please a lover. However, she decides to practice the sensual arts she had learned on the handsome Gattan visiting her family. The virile lion man with golden hair, tufted ears, and a dragon clan tattoo on his shoulder fascinated her. Though the huge bulge between his legs that seemed to come alive every time she was near was what captured her attention first. Oh yes, Marljas would be her first true lover.
From the first moment Marljas caught sight of Sheala's curvaceous body and mischievous eyes, he wanted her. When she accidentally cut him, she sealed her fate. She'd blooded his neck, claiming him in true Gattan tradition. By all rights, she was his.
But after Sheala is kidnapped and tortured by a family enemy, the indulged, protected young woman she'd been disappears. She initiates the blood ceremony that would bind her to Marljas forever.
The fire he ignites in her soul does much, much more.

REDNECKS 'N' ROCK CANDY
Mandi O’Brian is not happy. She was supposed to meet her friend Amber at the country house Amber had inherited. Only Amber has gone off to New York to meet with her new literary agent and her publisher. So what is a gourmet chef like Mandi supposed to do stuck out here in the middle of no where in a house where the TV only got four channels? She couldn’t even watch Emeril!
Sheriff Brad Keister isn’t very happy either. Ever since he was fatally shot in a drug bust and his cousin Rusty had changed him into a vampire, Brad’s life had been completely upended. No more coaching little league, no more corn on the cob, no more spending a hot summer afternoons fishing at the creek. Hell, he couldn’t even do his job as sheriff competently anymore since he couldn’t go out in the hot sun. Even worse, he had to take care of Amber’s goofy, cross-eyed cat while she was away. What a screwed up life he had. He just might be better off dead.
Then, Brad rescues Mandi from the insidious attack of a malevolent rose bush. Thorns in her behind, she launches herself into his arms and wraps her legs around his waist. For the first time in six months desire pools in Brad’s groin. As he pulls the thorns out of her butt -- and ignores her angry comments about sexual harassment -- Brad knows he’s going to become much more intimately acquainted with the woman who’s got his blood pumping in all the right places again.

Finally, though, a mage who can protect their sacred grove has arrived seeking the magical knowledge the tower contains. Navaar isn't a druid but they've waited long enough.
