When the sexy trucker he's fantasized about turns out to be a CIA assassin-and a vampire-whose team needs his help to bring down a drug dealer, bartender Vince West lets go of inhibitions he's harbored too long and admits his sexuality, allowing himself the freedom to share his bed with Jas. But in agreeing to help the Night Squad, Vince gives up his dreams of returning to San Francisco. He knows he probably won't survive the sting, whether it's the drug dealers who get him.or the vampires.
Jas Tudor and his team need Vince to lead them to a drug kingpin, but Jas' interest in the handsome bartender with the ultra-sweet blood goes deeper. He lures Vince out of his protective shell and enjoys taking him to unimaginable heights of pleasure, even as Jas counts his regrets. His team is swift and destructive, and rarely leaves behind survivors. If Vince doesn't end up as collateral damage, the vampires will mind-wipe him when the operation concludes, destroying his memories of their magical time together.
Heiress Madeline Randall Forsythe is on the run for her very life, hiding in a small Washington town as "Randie." Fleeing a deadly family secret, she plans to move on every couple of months to stay alive. But the night she’s due to leave Silver Creek, a blizzard, a crunched fender and a rescue by a handsome stranger complicate her escape. While she knows relationships are impossible for a fugitive, she seizes her own destiny and lets Aidan rock her world, even as she knows the closer she gets to strangers, the more chances she has of getting caught.
Tracker Aidan Chase has been hired to find the missing heiress, and the two hundred and fifty thousand dollars she stole from her father. His werewolf senses make him an ace at his craft and he's never failed to find a target. But from the start this proves to be no ordinary case, and when he locates “Randie” Forsythe in a small mountain town, an old enemy complicates the job almost as much as the sexy heiress does herself. Aidan must make a choice: obey his own rule to never get involved, or follow his gut instinct and protect the woman he senses is his heart mate.
When Commander Jace Weston of the Universal Guard tracks a fugitive into the harem of a royal palace, he never expects to find an ally--and a lover--in the nubile princess of the rival kingdom. Forbidden to marry or even dally while on duty, Jace doesn’t dream about things he can never have. But when he meets the courageous princess condemned to a loveless marriage who dreams of nothing but finding love, he learns some things are worth wishing for.
Political climates change like the direction of the wind, and Princess Tamara understands someday she will have to marry the unpleasant prince of her neighboring kingdom. But when she is rescued from a grotesque alien fugitive by a drop-dead sexy soldier, Tamara seizes the opportunity to choose her first lover. The three-day journey back to her kingdom filled with scorching sex turns into more than just astounding physical delight, and Tamara fears she cannot live without the touch of the strong soldier who has stolen her heart.
What is more passionate than forbidden love?
Penny Thompson’s impending marriage to a prissy easterner she’s never met signifies the end of her idyllic freedom. A tomboy at heart, she’d rather work her family’s cattle ranch from the back of a horse than bake and sew. The thought of marrying a man she doesn’t know is bad enough, but when she meets a half-breed Indian who ignites her desire, the idea of a wedding night with a stranger she doesn’t love turns abhorrent. John Black Feather’s touch causes a storm of passion Penny fears she cannot live without.
The son of a Navajo chief and a white captive, John Black Feather has always walked between two worlds. Conceived and educated specifically to help the tribe’s relations with the spreading white world, his dalliance with Penny Thompson could ruin his father’s decades-old plan. But Penny enflames him and drives him to take foolish risks for their love…even though he knows a future with her is impossible.
Content warning: Passionate, sweaty sex in the out-of-doors.

Cvetelina Maldonova knows Agent Almaden wouldn’t have come all the way to Romania to ask for her help if he wasn’t forced to--he can’t stand her undead guts. He’s the most pigheaded human she’s ever met. And having lived for six hundred years, she’s met a lot. Not only does Robert believe he can cure his son of vampirism, he won’t listen when she tries to tell him an assassin has him targeted. He’s going to get his fool neck bit, and Cvetelina knows she’ll be blamed if he returns to his agency in a coffin. Whether he likes it or not, she’s sticking to him like glue. At least he’s easy on the eyes, and when Cvetelina looks into his cool blue ones, she can almost see daylight again.
But when he’s dosed with Tourin and goes mad with sexual need, that’s the last straw. She grabs the nearest thing she can find to restrain him; the sex-ties in her bedroom. Suddenly Robert is bound and helpless, and things are looking more interesting. What to do, what to do...

Balin Renforth has served the Guardians loyally for six hundred years, protecting innocents from vampire scum like Fitch Galloway. But he cannot deny the nagging familiarity Fitch inspires, any more than he can deny the irresistible curiosity stirred by the other man.
Fitch Galloway recognizes Balin immediately, though he never knew of the man’s ties to the magical Ancient Fae which gave him the powers he used to transport them to the outer limits. The Guardian has clearly grown a stick up his ass, yet Fitch cannot deny that saving him more than six hundred years ago was the best thing he ever did, and Balin has become an honorable man he cannot help but feel proud of. But that's not the only feeling the handsome Guardian stirs in Fitch...
