Orion is the threat of death wrapped in a 6’5 tattooed package of filthy intent. He’s my new bodyguard. And my father’s trusted friend and hired gun. Lines quickly blur when he shows up to rescue me from a depraved group called the Collectors. My Internet fame got me caught in their dark and twisted crosshairs. Orion is the only one who can save me. But his method of protection quickly turns into something much more carnal when I call him Daddy. He demands everything from me. My obedience. My submission. My body. He calls me young and spoiled, swearing he wants nothing to do with me beyond this job. Yet I’m the only one who can make him lose the control he hangs onto so tightly. Each minute we’re together makes him forget why my father sent him. Obligation turns into scorching hot passion that flares out of control. He makes my blood burn hot and passions run wild. Even though we have no future beyond this mission, we can’t stay away from each other. I want him to make me his, to claim me, to own me in every way. But when the Collectors close in to expose my biggest weakness, I have no choice but to go to them. To save my Daddy Orion. The question is, will he be able to save me?

From USA Today best-selling author MJ Fields, comes a brand new, grumpy sunshine, close proximity, standalone, steamy baseball romance Cecilia Fresh out of college, I stumbled into the opportunity of a lifetime. A classmate of my favorite professor was looking to retire and sell his animal hospital. With a lot of help and a giant push from my sister and her husband, I made an offer. I’m now the proud owner of Wags Veterinary Hospital in Trenton, New Jersey. Life is good. I have a home with a beautifully landscaped lawn, a business that I love, and an amazing tribe of friends who encourage me to “put myself out there.” Truth be told, I prefer animals over most people. I’m happy with the occasional girls’ night in and catching a glimpse of the hot neighbor, who I undeniably fantasize about, and do so often. Those fantasies, however, come to a dramatic end when I see him walking his new puppy on my property and not cleaning up its mess, twice. There’s nothing hot about a man who doesn’t take care of his crap, or his dog’s. Nothing. Fantasy ruined. Roman Who gets a second chance at playing professional baseball after turning it down once before? This guy. I thought it was too good to be true, but my family encouraged me to take the opportunity and see what would happen. That’s exactly what I did, with zero expectations. When I got the call that I was being pulled up from the minors to the majors, it was no longer an opportunity; it was a reality. Adjustments had to be made. I was going to be calling Trenton, New Jersey, home for a while. No more cleat chasers or hookups. I had to focus. The problem with this is, my focus is on the hot redhead next-door, and she … well, she can’t stand me. If I’ve learned anything in the past couple years, it’s that baseball is magic. It’s not in the game itself; it’s in the lessons taught about endless opportunities. Right now, I’m on first, just waiting for the opportunity to steal second.

Gunner Walker is on the run. He’s been trying desperately to escape the pull of Damon’s Mountains, but his out-of-control inner grizzly bear has tethered himself to the territory. His reputation is ruined, and he can’t blame his previous Crew for hating him—not after what he’s done. Only two things can quiet his mind, and they are both destructive—fighting, and riding his motorcycle at death-defying speeds. When he stumbles upon what is shaping up to be an abduction, he steps in to defend a stranger, but don’t get it twisted. He doesn’t like her. He just wants a fight with the man hunting her. Hallie Carter’s beauty doesn’t matter. Nope. Not at all. Or her quirky sense of humor, or the way she talks to him like he isn’t a demon. He’ll just keep telling himself that, and ignoring that a third thing has appeared in his life that can quiet the roaring grizzly inside of him… and that’s Hallie. Not only that, but when she calls him out for his destructive ways, he wants to listen instead of punishing her. There is immense value in a woman who can tame a beast. The more he gets to know her, however, the more he starts thinking she has a dark agenda when it comes to him. Hallie Carter is trying to fly under the radar. Her past has been hunting her down, but she likes it here in Laramie, Wyoming, in the shadows of Damon’s Mountains. Four months of safety and peace come crashing down one night when she realizes her past has caught up to her, but a glowing-eyed dark hero gets her out of a bad situation, and now the chase is on. She has to use every detective skill she has to track down the mystery shifter who saved her. She knows all about the shifters of Damon’s Mountains, and she’s in a desperate situation. If ever she is to find safety, she needs help, and the growling, dominant, troubled shifter with a quick fist and an absolute absence of remorse might be just the bodyguard she needs. Love, war, high-speed chases, action, adventure, and an epic romance story to pull at your heartstrings…there is something for everyone in T. S. Joyce’s exciting take on the newest Crew in Damon’s Mountains. We are finally home. Let’s stay here for a while. ****Content Warning: Explicit love scenes, naughty language, and piles of sexy shifter secrets. Shifter animal battles and wars for territory lines show up in most of these books, which includes action adventure and some violence. Intended for mature audiences.

I hate my boss. The Wall Street tycoon is a jerk. A world-class alpha-hole. Bitingly good-looking, but terribly flawed. The kind of man you can never please with the manners of a knife blade and the power and money to match. I went to school with bullies like him, so I’m not afraid. What scares me is my attraction to the man. How much I enjoy sparring with him. The verbal dress-downs. His inscrutable expression afterward. He’s danger wrapped up in power, and he’s getting harder and harder to resist. I hate my new assistant. I’ve hated them all, but this is a different kind of hate. A tortuous one. She’s whip-smart, overly-capable and talks back. And the little human smells like temptation. The worst kind. She dresses to kill, and I’m in danger of dying. One of these days, she’s going to push me too far. And she’s completely unprepared for what happens when you unleash an alpha wolf on his quarry. Midnight is book one in the Big Bad Boss trilogy.

To Whom it May Concern, This is a long shot. I’m seeking a billionaire, I will also settle for a millionaire. Sorry, not interested in any salesmen looking to sell me a timeshare or a part of their animal balloon company (been there, done that). I am not a golddigger, though you may not believe that. I have references. Ask all of my broke exes and my best friend. To be fair, I am not a glamorous model, actress, or professional dancer. I do, however, take pole dancing lessons (for fun, of course, not dollar bills). I am an educated (still have the student loans to prove it), open-minded (toy stores are fun, and not for games), fairly cute (when I try), only a little curvy (those last 30 lbs don’t want to leave) single female. I want to be swept off of my feet, wined, dined, and bedded in ways that make me forget my own name. I have a job (that I hate), with a boss that makes me want to jump off of a cliff. However, my friends make up for the day job. I’m ready for an adventure. And possibly a penthouse with a maid and a design budget. If interested, please respond before Monday morning, so I don’t have to go into work. Love, Sultry Sassy Sarah

And the broody widower is not looking for a long-term partner. As a surrogate, the deal was that I’d only be in England long enough to give birth. At first, the man seemed as pretentious as his name: Sigmund Benedictus. He and I butted heads. Sig challenged my intentions, accused me of just wanting to do this for the money. Gradually, he learned to trust me. He even became protective. Over time, our heated animosity turned into fiery chemistry. I was falling in love with him. But my time here had a limit.

She’s amazing. I know that sounds cliche, but it’s one hundred percent true. She’s so funny and smart and beautiful and…amazing. I have it so bad for her, and I thought for a moment she liked me too.\ Then I realized what I thought was a sign of her liking me was actually a sign she was sliding me into the dreaded friend zone. I fu@king hate the friend zone. I was so close to winning her over, and then that roughneck came along, pushing me even further into the zone. Just like a mechanic, he has qualities I could never possess—like working with a wrench. I could hold a wrench for a photograph and no woman would drool over me. Alas, that’s the life of a protection agent. Sure, I have rippling muscles and can kill a guy with my bare hands, but I could never compete with this illusion women have about greasy men. And to make matters worse, I said she could stay with me. That’s right. I am officially the stupidest man ever. I’ve doomed myself to a life of fantasies that will never be fulfilled, all because I can’t stop picturing that beautiful, thick hair cascading over her shoulders like a waterfall.

My name is Lottie Lemon, and I see dead people. Okay, so I rarely see dead people, mostly I see furry creatures of the dearly departed variety, who have come back from the other side to warn me of their previous owner’s impending doom. Just when I think I have my hands full, a blast from the past whirls into Honey Hollow, bringing with it a storm of secrets. Speaking of secrets—Claret Berkshire, a self-help author who specializes in navigating tricky maternal relationships, arrives in town for a much-anticipated signing of her new book, Mother Doesn’t Always Know Best.

Throw in a string of murders, and her insatiable thirst for justice, and you’ll have more chaos than you know what to do with. Living in Honey Hollow can be murder.

It’s a huge surprise to his adoptive mother, Monica, who thought she had a close relationship with Matthew, her nearly adult son. But apparently, he felt the need to secretly arrange a vacation to Cape Cod for the summer so he could meet his birth mother…without a word to either her or his dad. It’s also a surprise— to say the least—to Harlow, the woman who secretly placed her baby for adoption so many years ago. She’s spent the years since then building a quiet life. She runs a bookstore with her grandfather, hangs out with her four younger siblings and is more or less happily single, though she can’t help gravitating toward Grady Byrne, her old friend from high school. He’s moved back to town, four-year-old daughter in tow, no wife in the picture. But she’s always figured her life had to be child-free, so that complicates things. When Matthew walks into Harlow’s store, she faints. Monica panics. And all their assumptions—about what being a parent really means—explode. This summer will be full of more surprises as both their families are redefined…and as both women learn that for them, there’s no limit to a mother’s love.

An original collection of interwoven short stories set in the Wild Cards universe, where an alien virus mutates some and grants superpowers to others, created by the #1 New York Times bestselling author of A Game of Thrones An alien virus ravages the world, with effects as random as a hand of cards. Those infected either draw the black queen and die, draw an ace and receive superpowers, or draw the joker and are bizarrely mutated. Croyd Crenson is the Wild Card’s greatest failure—and its greatest success. Dubbed “The Sleeper,” he randomly undergoes hibernations that can span days, weeks, or even months. After each hibernation, he awakens with a new appearance and set of powers—sometimes a joker, sometimes an ace, and sometimes a combination of both—until exhaustion claims him and his next inevitable sleep shuffles the cards anew. Ever since his initial infection in 1946, he’s awoken in a singular body—until now. His latest awakening has left him split into six different incarnations, each of them a self-contained piece of the original and each with a unique look and ability. One of them, at least, recognizes this for the disaster that it is, and tasks the clever and elusive Tesla—a joker with ace powers—to locate and gather the remaining five versions of himself before sleep claims them again and leaves Croyd permanently fractured. What follows is a journey through Croyd’s long and colorful life, through the lens of some who have encountered the world’s most unusual wild carder. And as Tesla delves deeper into the investigation, he’ll have to work fast, because not every Croyd is as amiable as the first—and they’ll do whatever it takes to survive

“Trask McFadden is back.” Those are words that Tory has been waiting to hear, half in dread, half with longing. It’s been five years since Trask landed her father behind bars for horse swindling, using things she’d told him in confidence. Her father died there, but now Trask insists he has information that could help prove who was really responsible for the crime, not to mention his own brother’s death. Trask needs her help. But he won’t get it, not after destroying her family, her ranch, and the love they shared. Lauren Regis’s ex-husband has kidnapped her children. There’s nothing she won’t do to get them back, including hiring Zachary Winters.

INSTANT #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Janet Evanovich, the “most popular mystery writer alive” (The New York Times), is in top form as she sends Stephanie Plum on the trail of a stolen stash of dirty diamonds. Stephanie Plum, Trenton’s hardest working, most underappreciated bounty hunter, is offered a freelance assignment that seems simple enough. Local jeweler Martin Rabner wants her to locate his former security guard, Andy Manley (a.k.a. Nutsy), who he is convinced stole a fortune in diamonds out of his safe. Stephanie is also looking for another troubled man, Duncan Dugan, a fugitive from justice arrested for robbing the same jewelry store on the same day. With her boyfriend Morelli away in Miami on police business, Stephanie is taking care of Bob, Morelli’s giant orange dog who will devour anything, from Stephanie’s stray donuts to the upholstery in her car. Morelli’s absence also means the inscrutable, irresistible security expert Ranger is front and center in Stephanie’s life when things inevitably go sideways. And he seems determined to stay there. To complicate matters, her best friend Lula is convinced she is being stalked by a mythological demon hell-bent on relieving her of her wardrobe. An overnight stakeout with Stephanie’s mother and Grandma Mazur reveals three generations of women with nerves of steel and driving skills worthy of NASCAR champions. As the body count rises and witnesses start to disappear, it won’t be easy for Stephanie to keep herself clean when everyone else is playing dirty. It’s a good thing Stephanie isn’t afraid of getting a little dirty, too.
