Stalking
Buffalo Bill by J. Leigh Bailey
A Shifter U
Tale
A smitten
coyote isn’t the only one stalking Buffalo Bill.
A buffalo
walks into a cafe. Sounds like the start of a bad joke, but for coyote shifter
Donnie Granger, it’s the beginning of an obsession. Donnie is a little
hyperactive and a lot distractible, except when it comes to William. He finally
works up the nerve to approach William but is interrupted by a couple of
violent humans.
While
William—don’t call me Bill—is currently a professor, he once worked undercover
against an international weapons-trafficking ring. Before he can settle into
obscurity, he must find out who leaked his location and eliminate the thugs. He
tries keeping his distance to protect Donnie, but the wily coyote won’t stay
away.
It’ll take
both Donnie’s skills as a stalker—er, hunter—and William’s super-spy expertise
to neutralize the threat so they can discover if an excitable coyote and a
placid-until-pissed buffalo have a future together.

Down
& Dirty: Zak (Dirty Angels MC, bk 1) by Jeanne St. James
Welcome to
Shadow Valley where the Dirty Angels MC rule. Get ready to get Down & Dirty
because this is Zak’s story…
After
spending the last ten years in prison, Zak, former DAMC president, has a few
priorities: to reconnect with his “brothers,” to get drunk, and to get laid.
Not necessarily in that order. When he spots a stunning woman in the clubhouse
and mistakes her for one of the club’s strippers, those priorities get a bit
skewed.
Sophie has
no idea what happened to her life. One minute she’s totally focused on building
her bakery business, and the next? She’s delivering a cake to the Dirty Angels
motorcycle club’s “homecoming” celebration for a member who just got out of
prison. Little does she know baking that cake will change the rest of her life,
not to mention, make her a target for a rival MC. Normally, Sophie wouldn’t be
caught dead with a man like Zak, a tattooed, ex-con, badass biker.
When a
decades old territory war threatens to rip them apart, Zak will do anything to
keep Sophie, his club, and the town safe. But being from two different worlds,
the threat they’re under may not be worth the risk.

The Guide (A Legacy Series Novella)
by Sheritta Bitikofer
Egypt and
Middle Europe, 1570
Tor had
known nothing else of life outside of his lonely temple in Asyut. The last
priest of the half-man, half-wolf Egyptian god Wepwawet, his days are filled
with pious rituals that celebrate the union between his spirit and the gift of transformation
his god had bestowed upon him and his family from birth. The sole survivor of
his priesthood, he believes he is the only one who can maintain balance between
Ma’at (order) and chaos that would inevitably consume the world.
All of that
changes when Giovanni, an Italian explorer under the payroll of the vampire
lord, Michael Gennari, finds Tor in his temple and asks for his help to find
the lost civilization where vampires and werewolves once lived in harmony
thousands of years ago. Knowing something of the mythical Arnathia, Tor agrees
to help.
Jane
Gennari, Michael’s young and mischievous daughter, has another plan for Tor.
Inadvertently, she makes a long and arduous journey to the Caspian Sea even
more dangerous. Drawn to his raw, savage, and sometimes uncivilized character,
she lusts after him with a fervor that seems revolting to other vampires. The
vampires and werewolves have been at war for centuries, but Michael’s small
coven do not adhere to such prejudices. With hunters, traitors, and the
unforgiving elements working against them, vampire and werewolf must unite for
a common goal: to seek the truth of what happened to upset the balance between
their races.

couple!
Think you
know everything about the Sexy Six-Pack? Think again! This is the story fans
will never see coming! Jaws will drop and hearts will pound because everything
is not as it seems!
Jase Atwood
is a man with a forgotten past and an unsure future. Living on the island of
Caicos, he spends his time sitting in a bar drinking, scuba diving for sunken
treasure, and working as a mercenary of sorts. Some referrals are by word of
mouth, while others come from the United States—Tampa, Florida, to be precise.
Trident Security is a private, special ops company that occasionally uses the
ex-pat for missions in South or Central America or the Caribbean, since
returning to the US would be far too dangerous for him.
Brie Hanson
has lived on Caicos since she was ten. After her father’s death, she took over
Daddy-O's, his bar/restaurant popular with tourists and locals alike. Her
three-month relationship with Jase has been just for sex—no dates, no getting
involved in each other’s lives, and no letting their emotions rise to the
surface. However, when her sister disappears, Brie's lover steps in to help
find the missing woman. But unbeknownst to either of them, Jase’s past and
present are about to collide. Will it destroy their future?
