Savage Flames Series Book 1: Scandalous

by Amber Kuhlman

Renee Lyon is finally living the life she fought for—until her past crashes back in. The three boys who once broke her spirit are now men, and fate won’t stop throwing them in her path. Matt, Jake, and Aaron aren’t the cruel teenagers she remembers, but that doesn’t mean they’re safe. Guilt, obsession, and desire twist together as Renee faces the men who once destroyed her—and the parts of herself she thought she’d buried. The tension burns, the lines blur, and the rules of the game have changed. Can she resist the pull of her past, or will she set the terms this time?

Forbidden Men Book 1: Price of a Kiss

Forbidden Men Book 1: Price of a Kiss

by Linda Kage

I don't care what my cousin says; I am not the queen of impossible relationships. I mean, just because my last boyfriend tried to kill me and left a bit of a scar on my neck, then forced me to move across the country and legally change my name to Reese Randall to escape him, does not mean-

Oh, who am I kidding? For a freshman in college, I have to have the worst dating track record ever.

It's no wonder love is the last thing on my mind when Mason Lowe enters my life. But the chemistry between us is like bam! Our connection defies logic. And he's just so freaking hot. Being around him makes me feel more alive than I've ever felt before. I even like bickering with him. He could be my soul mate...except for one teeny tiny glitch.

He's a gigolo.

Boy, do I know how to pick them.

Shadow

Shadow

by Ophelia Bell

When darkness falls, will Hallie fall too?

The whole reason Hallie even joined this expedition into the temple hidden deep inside the Sumatran jungle was to escape her demons. Yet the moment she arrives, the temple seems hell-bent on revealing every uncomfortable truth she’s fought so hard to keep hidden—and determined to plunge her into darkness once more.

But this darkness is of another kind. One whose phantom caress leaves Hallie panting for release in the middle of the night, only to awaken chasing shadows.

It’s not enough for just Hallie to awaken, though. She soon learns that she’s meant to awaken others—dragons, no less—by giving herself to the half-man, half-beast whose intense gaze and erotic ministrations truly redefine tall, dark, and handsome.

The darkness she faces now could chase away her own and finally give her a reason to stop running, but only if Hallie can learn to embrace the shadows.

A Shot in the Dark: The Protected

by B. E. Harmel

Kate comes home expecting cake and candles, not chaos. One brutal night shatters everything she thought she knew about her family, dragging her into a dangerous world of secrets and lies. To survive, she’s placed under the watch of John, a relentless agent with shadows in his past and a vow to protect her at all costs. But guarding Kate isn’t as simple as it should be—the more time they spend together, the harder it becomes to keep the line between duty and desire intact. With enemies closing in and trust in short supply, survival means risk, sacrifice, and facing a temptation neither of them is prepared for. In a storm of danger, will passion save them—or destroy them?

Savage

Savage

by Kristen Mullings

We spoke only one language. Sex.

He had me by the hair, my body taut in his other arm. I was so wet already I didn’t know if I could take it if he slid inside me.

He bent me over the desk aggressively, but that caused my libido to peak even further. I felt him massaging his hard length against my ass.

I sighed with desire. Needing him. Right here. Right now...
