  BITE ME ANOTHER DAY BY ZOE FORWARD

  There’s a reason vampires don’t do friends with bite benefits.

  One kiss and a bite between friends... now there’s all kinds of awkward, which is a big problem for Ivy Martens. Sure, she and Ty Ferro broke a handful of antiquated vampire society rules when he had his teeth in her neck. Bigger issue is her parents affianced her against her will to someone not Ty. Now there’s a bounty hunter paid to bring her to the unwanted fiancé. The best person to help her out of this mess is Ty.

  Ty wants no one like he wants Ivy, but he slammed on the brakes. He needs her as the friend that helps him handle the darkness his life as a vampire fixer entails. That means not rocking the boat by reenacting the hottest moment of his life, which happened before her parents arranged her to mate someone not him. He must remain cool-headed and detached to keep her alive. But nothing shakes him to his core like her.

  PROMISED TO THE PACK BY LANEY POWELL

  I’m done being the good girl.

  If I’ve learned anything in my almost twenty-one years, it’s that always doing what I am told has got me absolutely nothing and nowhere. Exhibit A: my cheating fiancé. Not only do I catch him red-handed on the night before our wedding, but he’s sleeping with Exhibit B: my supposed best friend. This leads to Exhibit C: the part where I take off the blinders, take off the gloves, and take control.

  I kick Exhibit A where it hurts, steal his prized bike, and make a beeline down the road of revenge straight into the arms of Exhibit D: Bran Blackwood. To call the Blackwood wolf pack rivals is the king of all understatements. As a Darkbane myself, I shouldn’t even be near him. I know better than to set one toe on enemy territory. I should have kept on riding, but one touch of Bran’s hand, and I’m unwilling to deny myself. And that’s before I meet Exhibits E and F, his brothers Alec and Conan. Once I met Bran, I was lost. Add in Alec and Conan, and I can neither yield nor let go.

  I didn’t expect it to mean anything. I didn’t expect it to last. I certainly didn’t expect it to start a war.

  ROCKY MOUNTAIN RAPTURE BY P. MATTERN

  Arcadia Aspin Pines believes she is on her way to purchase a popular resort lodge, the Winterborn Cascades, nestled in the Eastern Rockies.

  She meets with the owner, Echo Winterborn, a man that she finds simultaneously charismatic and exasperating.

  Wolfshifter Echo has a mystery to solve, a scent he picked up on when first encountering the curvaceous Aspen.

  Insurance I’ll never rise up against him.

  But when he threatens my men, my family, in exchange for my obedience, I discover there are four reasons for me to fight him. A warrior in exile, a poet with the face of a god, my very best friend and the man I once betrayed.

  I’m told to choose, but I want them all.

  A hacker witch with a price on her head, three wolf princes without a throne, and a destiny none of them expected.

  Tonight’s the night. One last job and I am out of here. After years of being an indentured witch, hacking and stealing for the mob, I am done. But I won’t be leaving empty handed… I’ll be taking a large portion of my boss’ cash while also relieving him of my magical marker that he’s held over me for years.

  And I won’t be leaving alone, apparently, because when I break into his secret dungeon, I discover a man in chains. He’s tall, dark, and tragically wounded, and based on the security around him, he’s pretty valuable, so I take him too.

  Imagine my surprise when he opens his eyes and shouts, but not in fear—he’s carrying on about how he’s found the one. I think he might be crazy because I think he might mean me. I’d leave him behind if not for his eyes… they are full of deep pain and raise a longing within me like I’ve never known.

  I should be long gone but abandoning him is not an option. Then his brothers arrive, and I find that I am leaving, only now I’m in the back of a van with my wrists and ankles tied. Not exactly what I had planned.

  I’m not supposed to be here, but when I look at them, I feel like they are exactly what I ordered—my appetizer, dinner, and dessert. All I wanted was my freedom. But there’s something about the three of them that
holds me here. Something I can’t ignore. Something I can’t deny.

  I never expected this. I never expected them.
