Reluctant Dragon Elder
Janos
Aventech’s
vacation in
New York
is about to come to an abrupt end. Riding on the subway, he stumbles across a Dragon mate—one of the few human women with whom his people can unite and be truly happy. And his people’s enemies are out to get her. As his attraction to this woman grows, he knows he must find her mate and see her safely into that man’s arms. It’s destined. But as every minute passes in her company,
Janos
begins to see he’ll never willingly let her go, mate or not.

If only she were his mate…

On the subway,
Scarlett
couldn’t stop staring at him—then he turned crazy. When he essentially kidnaps her off the train, she knows she should be irate and terrified. Instead, she finds her initial attraction growing. But what’s all this stuff he’s spouting about mates and enemies? She only wants to return to her life, not get caught in the middle of a war. But it’s too late for that. She’s destined for a Dragon’s bed, and in
Janos
’ arms, she can only hope it’s his.

Red: A Seduction Tale
by
Maddie
James

Garnet Boudreaux is going home. Not back to her nice little apartment in
New York City
, but to her childhood home in the bayou. She doesn’t want to go, and isn’t certain what will be waiting for her when she arrives. But standing there in the voodoo shop on

Bourbon Street

, in the middle of one
helluva
party, she’s told by Madame Madeleine Dupuis that she has no choice. She presses two pouches into Garnet’s hands, wraps a red cape around her, and tells her she must go—and go now—to see to her grandmother.

Max LeBlanc spies the lovely redhead across the street and knows in a heartbeat that she is the one. A
rougarou
always knows when he’s met his mate. Some may call him a lycanthrope, a werewolf if you will, but in Cajun bayou lands, he’s known simply as
The
Rougarou
. He’d waited several hundred years for this moment, and for her. There is nothing left for him to do but mark her and claim her as his mate. Soon.

Oriana
and the Three
Werebears
by
Tia
Fanning

Oriana
Ricci has taken over the family business—flying cargo and rich tourists around
Alaska
’s barely inhabited Kodiak Archipelago. When her plane malfunctions and she’s forced to make an emergency landing, she finds herself stranded in the middle of a National Wildlife Refuge. With no civilization for miles and no hope of rescue, she thinks all is lost…

Until she stumbles upon the entrance to an underground bunker.

Jack
,
Jordan
, and Jonathan
McMathan
own and operate a secret intelligence firm contracted by the US Government. Hidden away in an old Cold War spy station located the middle of the Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge, the brothers are not only able to do their top secret jobs safely without fear of discovery, but are better to protect their other, more personal secret: They have the ability to shift into Kodiak bears.

Like a fairy tale gone bad, the brothers return home to find their lunch tasted—or eaten, their computer chairs adjusted—or broken, and a beautiful blonde sleeping in one of their beds. This situation poses a big problem for the brothers…

Their location is now compromised. But more importantly, what are they to do with the lady?

Extinction
by Carol Lynne

Professor of Environmental Science/Wildlife studies at UNLV, Jack
McBain
has spent his adult life trying to track a legend overheard during his youth. Born and raised in the
Canadian
Province
of
Newfoundland
, Jack remembers his grandparents telling stories of a race of people eradicated by European settlers in 1829. According to the legend, the
Beothuk
people didn’t die out as first thought, but were transformed into wolf shifters.

When
Newfoundland
wolves began to appear in great numbers, the European settlers began killing them under the guise of population control. In 1910, the last of the
Newfoundland
wolves was shot, making them one of the few extinct species of wolves in the world.

Following spotty leads, Jack begins to track what he believes are
Beothuk
/Newfoundland shifter wolves. His search leads him to the Lake Mead National Recreational Area outside of
Las Vegas
. There, on
Spirit
Mountain
, he finally comes face to face with not only the shifter he’s been looking for, but the man of his dreams he didn’t know he needed.
