  “Champagne and wine are complimentary, as are the taxis and ride shares for anyone who overindulges. And we have one free calendar for every guest, but feel free to buy lots of extras for your friends,” he added, making the crowd laugh again.

  “Congratulations again, Daddy,” Elena said, giving him a huge hug as he descended the steps with Eva at his side. “Right back at you, mon bijou. And let me see this bijou,” he said, peering at her engagement ring. He hooked an arm around both Elena and Brent. “Take care of each other,” he said. “You know I love you both.”

  “We know,” Elena said, and as she smiled at Brent, Tyree noticed a tall man with silver hair striding toward them. He frowned, trying to place the face, but not succeeding.

  “Brent. You know this guy?”

  “Looks familiar, but I’m not—oh.”

  But Brent didn’t need to tell Tyree who the man was, as he came right up and introduced himself. “Thomas Baker,” he said. “And you must be Tyree Johnson.”

  “I am. What can I do for you? I hope you’re enjoying the party.”

  “It’s excellent. This is a good business you’ve built up here.”

  Something in his tone caught Tyree’s attention, and he cocked his head, trying to read the man. “What brings you here tonight?”

  “Honestly? I came because I owe you an apology.”

  “How so?”

  “Baker Holdings owns Bodacious,” he said. “And I understand some of my employees and investors got carried away in the worst possible way. I just wanted you to know that we’re cooperating with the police regarding the prosecution. I’ve spoken to the staff at the Sixth Street Bodacious, and I’ve put in new management. Better trained management.”

  “Oh.” Tyree wasn’t sure how to respond.

  “At any rate, that’s the apology. In addition, I wanted to say that I’m impressed with what you’ve accomplished this year. I’m proud to be your competition, and sorry again about the shenanigans.”

  “No hard feelings,” Tyree said. “There’s enough business to go around.”

  “Damn right,” Baker said. “But if you ever do decide to sell…”

  Tyree looked around at the room filled with his friends and customers. More important, filled with love and laughter.

  “Sorry, Mr. Baker,” he said as the countdown to midnight began. “But The Fix is my home, full of my family. And so I’m holding on tight to this place, and I’m never letting go.”

  Born in Darkness

  Fight and redeem myself … refuse and suffer an eternity of torment.

  I intended to kill him—to avenge my sister by destroying the vile human who’d tortured and broken her. My plan was simple. Foolproof.

  Except somehow I ended up dead.

  Now the joke’s on me, because I’ve been resurrected as an assassin and given a choice: Fight the forces of darkness and redeem myself … or refuse and suffer an eternity of torment.

  The choice seems clear. But I’m unprepared for the depth of the evil I must face. And I’m unsettled by my attraction to the darkly sensual man whose words seduce me, but who is hiding secrets of his own.

  All I know is what I’m told. I’m afraid I’m a pawn in a much larger game where I can’t tell my enemies from my allies. I just hope it’s a game I can win.

  Down On Me

  With his tight muscles and vibrant ink, certified bachelor Reece Walker is the kind of man who’s used to having any woman he craves in his bed—except Jenna Montgomery. She’s been his best friend for years, and that’s a line he just can’t cross.

  Until a wild, stolen kiss changes everything. Now anything goes, and Reece is determined to use every wicked skill in his sensual repertoire to claim Jenna as his friend, his lover, his everything.

  Carpe Demon

  Kate Connor is your average, everyday mom with two kids, a husband, and one very big secret ... she used to be a Demon Hunter for a secret arm of the Vatican. Now retired, she's more interested in the domestic than the demonic. So when she catches sight of a demon in Wal-Mart, she tells herself it's some other Hunter's problem. But when that demon attacks her in her kitchen, retirement is no longer an option.

  Now Kate has to kick a little demon butt, figure out why the creatures are trying to take her out and take over her home town, and at the same time take care of her 2 year old, deal with a hormonal 14 year old, get the family to Catholic Mass on time, and try to keep her past a secret from her daughter and her husband.

  She's a little out of practice, but hey ... if she can juggle two kids and an impromptu dinner party, ridding the town of demons should be a piece of cake. Like the saying goes, Carpe Demon ... and Kate intends to do just that.

  So (Very!) Much More than

  the Girl Next Door

  With her X-ray vision and super-senses, Zoe Smith is about as far from normal as a girl can get—and she intends to stay that way. Half-mortal and half-superhero, Zoe is determined to help save the world. But first she has to pass her upcoming tests and avoid having her memory and powers erased through “mortalization.”

  An ex-cop turned private investigator, George Taylor craves a normal life with a normal wife in a normal neighborhood. The typical American dream—and when he meets Zoe Smith, he’s certain she’s one-hundred percent “the girl next-door”.

  With her super powers, Zoe can do just about anything … except make Taylor fall in love with her. For that, they’re both going to need a different kind of magic …
