She’s not looking for a mate…

Sapphire is cursed. Every relationship she’s ever been in has ended poorly. So she’s sworn off relationships and is happy with her life. Until Eli comes along—a one-night stand that turned into more. When things got too intense, she did what she always did. She ran.

He’s not letting her get away…

This time Eli isn’t letting Sapphire go without a fight. When her friend needs help escaping an abusive situation, he steps up, no questions asked. It doesn’t matter that Sapphire won’t tell him why she’s holding back from him. He’s a jaguar shifter and cats are very patient—he’ll wait for his mate to come around. But before he can claim her once and for all, they’ll have to deal with an angry bunch of shifters who are out for blood.

Wanting her means putting a target on her back…

Layla’s taste in men runs toward the epic side of awful. With one murderous ex-fiancé already behind her, she’s attempting to start over in Redemption Harbor with the help of her bestie, Nova. And wine. Lots of wine. The very thing that helps her make another epic mistake—trying to kiss Xavier, one of her newest friends. So what if he’s sexy, funny, and has completely taken over her fantasies? Relationships and Layla don’t mix. And Xavier is clearly not interested anyway.

But it’s too late to walk away…

Any good hitman has no business forging a personal life…no matter how great the temptation. And Xavier is an exceptionally good hitman, with a long list of enemies. Even if Layla could somehow look past his profession, he’d never put her in jeopardy. But everyone has their breaking point—and when Layla accepts a date with someone else, Xavier’s possessiveness is unleashed. The greater the risk, the sweeter the reward…until Xavier’s sweet Layla is used against him by someone from his past. Now he’ll do whatever it takes to protect her from the enemy hunting her from the shadows.

When a bringer of death…

Awakened after millennia, dragon warrior Reaper is ready to fulfill his destiny…until he sees Greer. With one glimpse, everything Reaper has ever known throughout his very long life is irrevocably changed. Greer’s his mate, he feels it in his blood, in his soul—but convincing her is another matter. The dragon clan healer finds him obnoxious and annoying, but he knows a woman’s interest when he smells it. And Greer smells like one word: mine.

Meets a giver of life…

Greer has spent hundreds of years using her healing abilities for the good of others, making her the polar opposite of Reaper. The ferocious war general may be an ancient, but his arrogance proves he hasn’t spent any of that time learning about women. Greer is displeased when her Alpha sends her to New Orleans with the insufferable warrior—then she sees him in action against a menace threatening to tear the city apart. Fierce, protective, magnificent…mate-worthy. Except he’s hiding something from her. Something dark and devastating that could destroy their newly forged bond. Maybe opposites do attract, but if they want to live long enough to find out, they’ll first have to save the world teetering on the brink of obliteration.

The Bishop siblings’ family is on the verge of collapse as all three find themselves embroiled in danger. Family bonds may keep them alive…but only love can give them something to live for. Read BISHOP’S KNIGHT, the first novel in this heart-pounding Endgame trilogy!

She needs his protection…

Thanks to years of government training, Evie Bishop knows how to get into places she doesn’t belong—and she’s very good at it. But years of doing black ops work burned her out so she returns home—to unexpected chaos. One of her brothers is in a coma and the other is in hiding, wanted for murder. Then a fellow operative from her past shows up shot and bleeding with news that an assassin is gunning for everyone involved with a past op. She’s forced to turn to the one man she knows she can trust—the man whose heart she broke.

But it will come with a price…

When Dylan Blackwood proposed a year ago, Evie turned him down flat and walked out of his life. He’s stunned when he finds her on his doorstep covered in someone else’s blood, needing his help. He always knew there was more to her than met the eye—that Evie was never simply the pampered society princess she wanted people to believe she was. But he never expected this. If she needs help, he’ll give it. Even if he can’t forget her betrayal. Even if he isn’t sure he can trust her. But his protection will come with a price—her heart. Before they can have a chance at a future, they’ll have to work together to take down a faceless enemy who has Evie firmly in his crosshairs.

If no one is coming to save us…

My partner Alex and I thought this was a straightforward case—find a missing woman from my niece’s small college campus. But the deeper we dig, the more sinister things are. Nothing is what it seems. Young men and women are going missing and have been for years—and until now, no one has realized that all the missing victims are linked.

Then no one is going to stop us…

Before we realize it, we’re in too deep, and this case forces us to make choices that will test everything I thought I knew about myself—including my new relationship. I’ve always been fine living in shades of gray, but this is different. If Alex and I don’t watch each other’s backs, we’re both going to wind up six feet under. And even if we survive, nothing will ever be the same again.

Die New York Times & USA Today Bestseller-Autorin Katie Reus setzt ihre paranormale Romantik-Serie mit ... Drake: Der Geschmack der Dunkelheit fort.

Er hat mehr als tausend Jahre in der Hölle verbracht…

Drake ist ein uralter Drachenwandler, eines der mächtigsten Wesen, die es gibt, doch nach über einem Jahrtausend der Gefangenschaft in völliger Dunkelheit ist er für die moderne Gesellschaft schlecht gerüstet. Wenn Victoria nicht wäre, die süße Frau, die mutig genug ist, sich mit ihm anzufreunden, wäre er verloren. Sie ist klug und wunderschön und alles, wovon er in seinen Jahren qualvoller Einsamkeit nie zu träumen gewagt hat. Er hat ihr vielleicht nichts zu bieten, doch eines weiß er sicher: Er würde sein Leben geben, um sie zu beschützen.

Nur um in den Himmel ihrer Berührung zu sinken.

Victoria ist eine Wolfwandlerin und Heilerin des Stavros-Rudels. Sie hat viel gesehen, doch sie ist noch nie jemandem wie Drake begegnet, dem feurigen, faszinierenden Wandler, der ungesehen von den Sterblichen wie ein Feuersturm durch den Himmel rasen kann. Er ist verloren, gefährlich und der letzte Mann, in den sie sich verlieben sollte, doch je mehr Zeit sie damit verbringt, ihm beim Navigieren durch das moderne Leben zu helfen, desto tiefer – und heißer – wird ihre Bindung. Sie freut sich wahnsinnig für ihn, als sie endlich seine Familie finden, doch die Wiedervereinigung mit seinen Leuten bringt beide in unvorstellbare Gefahr. Es folgt ein Wettlauf gegen die Zeit, um herauszufinden, wer sie tot sehen will und wem sie vertrauen können, besonders da die Bedrohung näher ist, als sie es sich jemals vorgestellt haben.

Auch wenn er um ihre Zukunft kämpft …

Da sich die Welt nach massiven Drachenangriffen immer noch im Wiederaufbau befindet, ist die berühmte Sängerin Star nicht bereit, sich auf einen Fremden zu verlassen, um ihre Familie zu beschützen – obwohl dem Drachenwandler Lachlan nur schwer zu widerstehen ist. Irgendetwas an ihm kommt ihr seltsam bekannt vor, doch sie versteht nicht, warum. Er hat Star bereits kürzlich dabei geholfen, ihre Schwester vor einer Entführung zu retten, doch Vertrauen ist nicht einfach, wenn seinesgleichen ihre Rasse fast bis zur Ausrottung gejagt hat. Als der Entführer ihrer Schwester einen weiteren gewalttätigen Angriff startet, hat Star keine andere Wahl, als Lachlans Hilfe anzunehmen. Doch auch wenn er sie beschützt, sie wird den uralten schottischen Drachen niemals in ihr Herz lassen.

Sie sind von der Vergangenheit gefesselt.

Lachlan hat vor Jahrtausenden die Frau verloren, die er heiraten sollte. Unfähig, in einer Welt ohne sie zu leben, trieb ihn sein Schmerz in den Schlaf. Er hätte nie gedacht, dass er je darüber hinwegkommen würde – bis er Star begegnet. Er ist sich bewusst, dass die temperamentvolle Wandlerin sein neues Schicksal ist. Wenn er sie also nach New Orleans verfolgen muss, um ihr nahe zu sein, dann sei es eben so. Als Star angegriffen wird, beschließt Lachlan, sie zu beschützen, koste es, was es wolle. Und er muss es nicht allein tun. Lachlan, die Angehörigen seines Clans und Stars bunt gemischter Haufen von Freunden werden feurige Rache auf ihren Feind herabregnen lassen müssen, wenn sie und ihre Schwester jemals wirklich frei sein sollen. Nur dann kann er sie für sich beanspruchen und die schockierende Wahrheit entdecken, die in ihrer Vergangenheit begraben liegt.
