A Little Taste: A small-town, single-dad romance. (Be Still)

By Tia Louise / Genre: Police, Romance in Uniform, Romance

A Little Taste: A small-town, single-dad romance. (Be Still)

He’s seven years older, a grumpy single dad, and sheriff of our small town; but a little taste, and we can’t get enough…

Aiden Stone is a six-foot-two former Marine with a permanent scowl, dark hair, and dreamy blue eyes. He’s the oldest of the Stone brothers, and his “by the book” family has battled mine for control of our small town for generations.

The last thing I should do is sleep with him. Or nearly run him over with my truck. Especially since he’s sort-of my new boss…

It doesn’t help that my grandmother (the mayor) is a former magician, and my mom is a psychic (sort-of)… And my dad died in a failed escape-artist attempt (that my mother is convinced was a murder).

Trust me, I know crazy, but I’m just plain ole Britt Bailey, Shania Twain-loving, non-magical forensic photographer. Yes, I take pictures of dead things, but I don’t see them in my bedroom at night.

I only want to see one thing in my bedroom at night, and when I’m called home to help Sheriff Stone on an investigation, he actually stops frowning for a minute, and my teenage fantasies get very real.

It’s a terrible idea. We work together, he’s seven years older than me, he’s a single dad, he hates all things magic, but a little taste, and we can’t say no.

I knew she’d battle me.

Landon (In Safe Hands Book 1)

Zoe

I’m not interested. I’m not interested in his blue-green ocean colored eyes, his lean muscular body, or that crooked smile that can be so infuriating. I have more important things to worry about, like how to keep myself in college and my sixteen year old brother fed and sheltered. We all know life is hard, some of us just learn that lesson younger than others, but that doesn’t mean I’ll give up. I intend to succeed and make sure my brother has the opportunities he deserves, and no privileged jerk is going to distract me.

Landon

I don’t date. Don’t get me wrong, I’m far from celibate, but my condition makes carrying on any kind of normal relationship impossible. My life revolves around In Safe Hands or ISH, the underground group I work with to track down and take care of predators and sex offenders who beat the system. I’m satisfied with my life until the day I meet the smart-mouthed, compassionate, determined woman who opens my eyes to possibilities I never thought existed.

Parentmoon

By L.B. Dunbar / Genre: Later in Life, Romance

Parentmoon

When the divorced mother of the groom goes head-to-head with the single father of the bride, they might be the next couple experiencing a heart-to-heart.

When my son asked me to take his ticket for the honeymoon that didn’t happen, I balked. What would I do on a ten-day vacation in Belize?

More importantly, what caused my son and the love of his life to call off their wedding?

I didn’t have an answer, and he wasn’t sharing

So, I’d traded places with him.

Over a week of sunshine and me-time was on the docket until he arrived.

Dallas Cole had silver in his beard, eyes the color of an ocean, and the most annoying drawl. And by annoying, I mean, thigh-clenching, heart-hammering, make me want to kiss him swagger.

Only, that’s something I would never do, because he’s the single father of the bride for the wedding that never was, and now, he’s encroaching on my parentmoon.

One house. One bed. Not happening.

So what if he calls me darlin’ in that swoony voice? Not going there despite his smirky grin amongst the gray on his jaw. Not going to think about the fact he saw me naked . . . by accident.

Nope.

The former father of the bride will only be going head-to-head with this protective mother of the groom, not lips to lips, or any other body part. And definitely not heart-to-heart.

Hungry Like a Wolf (Claws Clause Book 1)

By Jessica Lynch / Genre: Werewolves & Shifters, Supernatural, Thrillers & Suspense

Hungry Like a Wolf (Claws Clause Book 1)

He’ll do anything to claim his mate—again…

In a world where paranormals live side by side with humans, everybody knows about Ordinance 7304: the Bond Laws. Or, as the Paras snidely whisper to each other, the Claws Clause—a long and detailed set of laws that bonded Para couples must obey if they want their union to be recognized.

Because it wasn’t already damn near impossible to find a fated mate in the first place. Now the government just has to get involved…

I remember—
Three years ago, Maddox Wolfe lost his mate.

Since there’s nothing more dangerous than a bonded shifter on his own, Ordinance 7304 gave him three choices: voluntary incarceration until he’s no longer a threat; a lobotomy-like procedure performed by government witches that would dissolve his bond; or a state-sanctioned execution so that he could be with his mate again. And while death held a certain appeal in the hazy days following the tragedy, Maddox had his family and his pack to live for. So, refusing to give up his memories of his sweet Evangeline, he chose to spend the rest of his days in the Cage.

That’s when his brother drops the bomb on him: his Angie isn’t dead. In fact, she’s living in the nearby city of Grayson while Maddox is locked up in the magic-free prison. With the newfound knowledge that his mate is alive—alive and on her own—he earns an early release. Eager to get back to her, it never dawns on Maddox that there was a reason he spent three years without her.

And there is. A big one.

His beloved mate doesn’t remember him, or their time together. Maddox is nothing but a stranger to her—and worse? When Maddox tracks her down, he discovers that she has a new male.

Can you blame the wild wolf shifter for what he does next?

I forget—
There’s a hole in Evangeline Lewis’s memory. The doctors tell her that it’s normal, that she’ll recover fully in time. After all, it’s only been three years since the accident that nearly killed her. They never thought she’d wake up; a nagging, annoying sensation that something’s wrong is the least of her worries. Especially since she has so much going on: a new apartment, a new job, her mother’s well-meaning attempts at match-making… but tell that to her wayward psyche.

By day, she can’t shake the feeling that something’s missing. And, by night, she can’t escape the dreams of a shadow man with glowing golden eyes…

Her lifeline through it all is her addiction to caffeine. Though her new boyfriend is as overprotective as her parents, she stubbornly clings to her routine. No one is going to stop her from going to the local cafe for her morning coffee. Not her mother. Not Adam.

Especially not the gorgeous man who seems to be nursing his own mug every time she stops by.

He says his name is Maddox, and he’s new to Grayson. Despite his size and the aura of danger that clings to him, he seems friendly enough—right up to the point that he abducts her from Mugs, taking her home with him.

Maddox is a firm believer that sometimes a wolf’s gotta do what a wolf’s gotta do. Stalking his mate, taking her home with him and keeping her by his side until she remembers him… if it works, he’ll have his mate back. If it doesn’t, he won’t survive losing her again.

Even worse, Evangeline will probably hate him forever…
