"If you can't stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen . . .
Chef Charlee has spent a lifetime trying to outrun her difficult past. A head chef job in a small town might be the start of something new—but she never expected the boss to be more sizzling hot than anything she's ever cooked! But keeping her mind on the job is the only choice.
If only she would stop imagining the kitchen counter as a great place for a steamy rendezvous . . . (No! You prepare food on that! Stop thinking that way! But he's so handsome . . . !)
His new restaurant is his fresh start. But the head chef is the tastiest thing on the menu . . .
Bear shifter Steven has big plans to break away from his family's brewhouse tradition. All he needs is a new town, a new restaurant, and a new . . . incredibly sexy, curvy chef who just happens to be his fated mate?! Now it's not ambitions for the bistro that get him all fired up—it's Charlee, and finding a way to coax her out of her shell.
Charlee doesn't know about shifters, and Steven doesn't know if this restaurant is really what he wants after all—but the more they work together, the more they become certain that above all else, what they want is . . . each other."
"My life is pretty normal now. No demons. No soul contracts. No supernatural serial killers trying to stab me in a dark alley. It's all very safe—and boring.
But when Lucifer shows up in Hell's Kitchen, he drags me into a dangerous game of cat and mouse. One I can't lose. If he gets his hands on me, he'll bind me to his side. Why? No one knows.
I have a sneaking suspicion it has something to do with a darkness in my past I can barely remember. Whenever I'm near Az, hazy memories spark, and our undeniable connection feels strangely familiar. Whatever the reason, I have to find the answers fast. Or I'll end up trapped in Hell forever.

"Sarah is looking for love under the covers . . . of a good book!
As a small-town librarian, Sarah has her hands full with projects that range from running an in-library day care to planning her best friend's wedding. Romance is a complication she doesn't need . . . until he walks in.
Archivist Matthew is a big-city bear shifter looking forward to a quiet, short-term project in Virtue before heading to his dream job in New York. He didn't count on Virtue's vibrant, sexy librarian stealing his heart with a single glance . . .
Matthew never meant to stay; Sarah never meant to fall. But as they investigate a mystery from Virtue's past together, neither wants to turn the page on a blossoming summer romance that just might last a lifetime. Librarian Bear is a delightful, steamy standalone with a guaranteed happily ever after and no cliffhangers."
"I've kept my secret—that I'm only a half-blood demon—hidden my entire life. But stepping into Blackthorn Academy has unveiled me to the four most powerful men in the kingdom, and they have no intention of letting me go.
Receiving an invitation to the academy was the first surprise. Me, a powerless half-blood, suddenly among the elite. I knew it was risky to go there . . .
What I couldn't foresee was becoming indebted to the four royals—the brooding future king, his cunning brother, and their mischievous twin cousins. Now, I'm the sole focus of their domineering, possessive, but undeniably alluring attention.
I can sense that they're carrying their own dangerous secrets, but my only wish is to fade away, to become invisible again. Yet, something irresistible is brewing between us, tempting me to surrender to what I know is impossible and can only lead to heartbreak.

"Wolf shifter and carpenter Jake Rowly left his home town of Virtue straight out of high school and never planned to return.

Then he meets newcomer Mabs Brannigan, and realizes fate has brought him home again . . .
All single mother Mabs Brannigan wants is a safe, friendly place to raise her young son.

"Bad-boy rocker Jared Leigh is about to meet the biggest challenge of his life . . . his deaf four-year-old son.
Jared: At twenty-one, I had been prepared to give up my dream of touring with a rock band to become a father after getting my ex-girlfriend pregnant. But when she told me she'd gotten an abortion, I was devastated.
Now five years later, I bump into her little sister, who I haven't seen since high school, while she's grocery shopping with four-year-old Logan. Sparks flare between Callie and me that didn't exist before.
But soon I grow suspicious when I realize her deaf 'son' is the same age as my own child would have been.
Callie: When Jared demands to know more about Logan, I panic. There are things I can't tell him. Besides, Jared is a bad-boy rocker, not a dependable father figure. Trouble is, Jared refuses to be pushed away. And the more quality time he spends with Logan, the more I start to fall for him and envision us as a family.
But falling for him is far from a good idea—because when Jared's band hits big time, Logan and I will prove to be nothing more than a passing phase. Right?

"Alexei
I guess the party's over—for now.
When I wake up in the hospital after a DUI car crash, my new NHL team owner gives me an ultimatum—get sober or get packed for the minor leagues. So I talk the talk and go to rehab. I plan to breeze through, get sprung in thirty days or less and hit the road with my new team, the Chicago Blaze. All I have to do is charm my attractive, uptight rehab group leader into thinking I've changed—how hard could it be?
Graysen
I see right through Alexei Petrov.
My calling to save addicts from themselves before they self-destruct is deeply personal. Alexei's hot and successful, sure. But he's not okay, and he's got a lot of work to do before graduating from my group. No one's ever tested my boundaries like he does, though. I fight my desire and keep things professional, because the stakes couldn't be higher—it's not just my job that's on the line, but also his life. The deeper we fall, though, the more he makes me question the mantra I live by: never trust your heart to an addict.

"Erik
Nothing rattles me. Well . . . almost nothing. As the most even-tempered player on the Chicago Blaze, I take everything in stride—hockey, fame, and life in general. No one knows that deep down, even I've got a trigger. She's a tall brunette with a gorgeous smile and an iron will. The woman who crushed my heart long ago. I never plan to return to Greentree Falls, Wisconsin, and lay eyes on Allie Douglas again—until suddenly, I'm left without a choice.
Allie
Somehow, I'm keeping it all together. Raising my nieces and nephew alone and working takes everything I've got and then some, but I get by. I don't have time for love, and who needs a man, anyway? I gave up the love of my life a decade ago, and now he's just a distant memory. Until one day, he comes back home. And once I see him, I'm not keeping it together anymore.
Not even close.

"Venesa Andersen has never been good. She wasn't good enough for her parents, and she isn't good enough for the gangster uncle who took her in after they died. But she's cunning. Beautiful. Dutiful to her uncle's demands. And she doesn't have time for a moral compass, anyway. When her runaway cousin returns to their coastal southern town, she brings a man with her . . . and Venesa soon realizes he's the only one who's ever seen her for her.
There's just one problem: she can never have him.

Until he meets his fiancée's cousin.
Venesa is everything he never knew he wanted, bewitching him with her sultry voice and supple curves. But Enzo learned long ago that for a man like him, life is better without the things you want. When plans unravel and temptation sings its siren song, they'll both have to choose what's more important: duty to their families or a forbidden love that was never supposed to be.

"Reese
I'm done. Getting ditched at the altar is nothing compared to being humiliated there in front of three hundred shocked guests. Apparently I'm no good at spotting the signs your man's a cheating liar. So I set off solo on my honeymoon to Hawaii, where I realize I've got this life thing down just fine on my own.
Friendships and laughter? Yes. Adventures? Absolutely. But relationships? Hell no. Never again.
Knox
I'm a man of few words. My reputation as a moody prick is deserved, but only the handful of people who really know me see the man beneath the professional mask. I'm a protector. A warrior. That part is true. But the world doesn't get to see the rest of me. And women don't seem to mind my gruff exterior—my bed's always warm.
I'm content with life—loving it, even—or so I thought. But when I meet a beautiful pastry chef with a broken heart and a smile that softens me down to my soul, I realize I wasn't really content at all before her. I only wish I had the words to let her know.
