By Kira Stanley / Genre: Occult, Suspense, Mystery, Thriller & Suspense

Syndicate Princess: A Paranormal Mafia Duet: Book 1 (Syndicate Mafia)

Being a vampire boss’s daughter was a lot of work. Being the only girl heir from the five families, I’d always had to work harder, fight dirtier, care less. It made me into the woman I was today, causing fear in my enemies and a bloody trail for those who betray us.

Then my dad sprung on me that the other bosses and their sons were coming into town. They wanted us heirs to all meet, to bond with each other.

To top it all off, my dad shocked the hell out of me by throwing out a challenge to the other heirs. Whoever could keep me in their possession, by force or choice, for twenty four hours, would win the right for my hand in marriage.

The other bosses were all for it, wanting to get their man whoring, untamable, or workaholic sons to settle down finally, but I was not some prize to be won.

I was Rayla Desmond, a force all her own. A Syndicate princess that was not to be messed with, so these boys better be ready for me because I’m coming for blood.

Now I have to learn everything from scratch. Magic, time travel, assassining… assassinating? Whatever it is, I can’t fail, or I lose my job and the witches in line for the position after me? Let’s just say, not-so-nice. Keeping my job kinda means saving the world. No pressure.

Alien Skin Market: A Sci-Fi Alien Romance (Sold to the Raksha Book 2)

By Lizzy Bequin / Genre: First Contact, Science Fiction, Science Fiction & Fantasy

Alien Skin Market: A Sci-Fi Alien Romance (Sold to the Raksha Book 2)

Who’s going to save my skin?

My FBI training never prepared me for this.

First I was abducted. Then I was locked in a cage. Now I’m standing on a stage, exposed and sweating, while a crowd of terrifying aliens bid for my ownership.

And the ones who end up claiming me may be the scariest of all. These guys are like nothing I’ve seen before. Purple skin, retractable claws, and a serious aversion to shirts. Their bodies bulge with muscles, and their growls penetrate deep into my bones.

Yesterday I was an Earth girl with a badge and a gun. Now I’m just a little human plaything for the aliens to share.

I belong to them now. I belong to the Raksha…

She was supposed to be a mission, nothing more.

Our orders were simple. Scour the stars. Find a human. Bring it safely back to Rak.

We had nearly given up hope. Then we found her.

We Raksha are a jealous species. But when it comes to the human female, we must learn how to share. Her safety is too critical to be entrusted to a single warrior. Her needs run too deep for a single male to satisfy. And her stubbornness requires more discipline than a single hand can provide.

She was supposed to be a mission, but soon she will be so much more.

Soon she will be our mate…

Found by the Barbarian: Primal Moon Barbarians Book 1

I escaped one prison only to find myself in another. Except this time, my jailer is an irresistible brute.

My owner has grown tired of me. After months of living inside a filthy cage like a pet hamster, I’m returned to where the nightmare of my abduction began—the wall on a planet called Tirius— to be auctioned off like a piece of meat. Instead of being visual entertainment, I’m sold to a disgusting alien who makes no pretenses about his lecherous intentions toward me and the four other human women he’s strung together on a chain.

In a turn of events, we escape and steal a ship. Our luck runs out and we crash land on an emerald moon serving as a remote prison. When I’m found by one of the inmates, not all is as it seems. Beneath the lush, tropical beauty of the moon, something much more sinister awaits.

Worth The Risk (Royal Bastards MC Book 1)

By J.L. Leslie / Genre: Alpha Male, Romance

Worth The Risk (Royal Bastards MC Book 1)

Skylar…

When I was seventeen, I fell in love. It was incredible, earth shattering, but most of all, it was heartbreaking. He walked away without an explanation. Without saying goodbye.

He was simply gone.

But five years later, I walk into a room and he’s there. He had been only hours away from me all these years. I often imagined how a reunion between us would be. Would I run into his arms, kiss him and tell him I still love him?

No, I slugged him.

Jake…

I knew the day would come when I’d have to face Skylar. I made a decision years ago that I’ve always questioned. Always wondered if it was the right choice. I was torn between the woman lying in my bed and the best friend who was giving me the opportunity for a better life.

Skylar deserved better than me. I chose the Royal Bastards MC.

Now, she’s here, having been brought to the club for protection. Our reunion didn’t go as I imagined it would. There was no sweet embrace, no words even exchanged. She marched right up to me and punched me in the face.

I knew right then and there, I never stopped loving her. Thing is, the Royal Bastards have rules. I live and die by them. If I break them, I’m out. I’ll lose my patch and lose the family I have.

Is Skylar worth the risk?

Hate Mail — An Arranged Marriage Romance (Paper Cuts #1)

By Winter Renshaw / Genre: Contemporary, ST Romance Test, 5edb3046-f9c1-4621-85f5-a4f7c2464a28_201

Hate Mail — An Arranged Marriage Romance (Paper Cuts #1)

In the Wakemont family, it’s tradition to arrange a marriage before the ink is dry on your birth certificate. I was five hours old when my father promised me to the son of a man with “more money than God.”

As we grew older, my future groom and I were encouraged to exchange “love letters” to get better acquainted—except the correspondence he sent read more like hate mail.

Slade Delacorte hated the arrangement.

But more than that, he hated me.

He was moody, intense, arrogant, and darkly gorgeous. A villain—not a prince. The last man on earth I’d ever marry (if I had the choice).

On my 24th birthday, we exchanged vows in front of six hundred guests who had no idea we weren’t every bit the blissful couple we pretended to be.

But as we began our new life together, I soon learned there was only one thing worse than marrying the man I’d hated my entire life: falling in love with him.

Love Practically (The Penn-Leiths of Thistle Muir Book 1)

By Nichole Van / Genre: Victorian, Historical, ST Romance Test

Love Practically (The Penn-Leiths of Thistle Muir Book 1)

As a young woman, Leah Penn-Leith fell hopelessly in love with Captain Fox Carnegie—the only irrational mark on her decidedly sensible life. Fox, unfortunately, did not return her regard.

Their story should have ended there. After all, Fox left for India. And Leah returned home to Scotland to rear her much younger brothers.

But twenty years later, Fox appears on Leah’s doorstep—older, scarred, and world-weary—proposing a marriage of convenience between them. He needs a mother for his young ward, and Leah, with her capable good sense, comes highly recommended. What woman could say No to such a proposal? Not Leah. Fox has always wreaked havoc on her ability to think rationally.

After their marriage, Leah confronts the chaotic reality of Fox’s life. His castle, ten miles up a rugged Highland glen, is shambolic. His ward, Madeline, is a precocious handful. Fox’s time in India is shrouded in rumor and mystery. Worst of all, Fox himself is distant and broken, his personality as altered as his scarred body.

Throughout it all, Leah is left with two questions: What happens to a woman after her most-cherished fantasy comes true? And can a marriage, begun in practicality, transform into something deeper? Something like . . . love.

The women of Haven Hollow aren’t your typical forty-something singles. Poppy’s a gypsy who creates potions, Wanda’s a witch, Fifi’s a succubus, Libby’s a zombie, Darla was once a ghost but now she’s corporeal and Bailey’s a medium.

When they find themselves forming an unlikely friendship over potion-brewing and booze, Wanda decides their impromptu group needs a name. But, somehow, ‘Flushed and Forty,’ ‘The Haven Hollow Hoochies,’ and ‘The Witchy Winos’ aren’t exactly cutting it.

When Hellcat, Wanda’s feline familiar, starts stealing sips of various libations, Poppy tries to bat him away and accidentally knocks an experimental potion into her drink. Seizing an opportunity, the cantankerous cat immediately swallows down Poppy’s beverage and… vanishes!

As soon as they realize Hellcat is no longer in the house, it will become a mad dash to try and find him in order to reverse whatever magic Poppy inadvertently subjected him to.

And somewhere along the way, they just might find a fitting title for their boozy bunch.

Melting Miss Wynter (Rogues and Gentlemen Book 17)

By Emma V Leech / Genre: Victorian, Historical, ST Romance Test

Melting Miss Wynter (Rogues and Gentlemen Book 17)

A brother determined to save his family’s honour…
Sampson Pelham, eldest son of the late and not at all lamented Viscount Cheam is surprised but not disheartened by the untimely passing of his sire. Run out of England with his reputation and honour blackened beyond pitch, Sampson’s father was a vile and violent man whom the family will do very well without.

Now, however, Sampson faces the unenviable task of getting his house in order. Being one of four siblings universally known as “The Scandalous Brothers,” bringing his family back into the respectable world of the ton will be an uphill struggle.

The thought of the youngest of his kin, seven-year-old twins, Selina and Susan, being branded “The Scandalous Sisters” when they eventually come out is too appalling to consider. Respectability is his goal, and Sampson is single-minded in his purpose.

A chill in the air and an unmistakable spark of attraction…
A governess for the unmanageable twins—one with impeccable references from one of the grandest families of the ton—is hired at once to accompany Sampson and his family to visit his half-brother, Captain Ross Moncreiffe, for Christmas.

When a violent snowstorm separates the family on the road, Sampson finds himself marooned at a small inn in the company of the twins and their new governess… And soon suspects that Miss Wynter is not everything her references suggested she would be.

A woman with a scandalous reputation…
Miss Gwendolen Wynter is hiding a dark past under a new name and the veneer of respectability. Miss Guinevere de Wynn is the illegitimate daughter of the infamous Marie de Wynn—mistress to the Marquess of Davenport, the woman who robbed the marchioness of her jewellery and ran off with another lover. The de Wynn family are, in fact, notorious for indulging in every vice known to man and their infamy can be traced back generations.

In a desperate bid for a quiet life, free from disgrace and mayhem, Gwen forges her references and secures employment in the first household available with such haste she neglects to discover details of the family she is to work for. When her attraction to the eldest of the equally infamous Scandalous Brothers becomes impossible to ignore, Miss Wynter must be at her iciest to avoid yet another scandal and to keep the truth of her identity from the man who is melting all her good intentions.
