Tempted On the run from a mental institution and her vindictive half-brother, it's safe to say that Sarah Pringle's happy life as a schoolteacher is on hold. Too bad that as far as self-defense goes, "run and hide" is the best she's got. And with the monsters that started her escape hot on her heels, that's not going to cut it for long... That is, unless Sarah has a bigger, badder, hotter monster on her side. Max Petrovsky is right at the top of the list of alpha male ass-kickers. And he knows exactly what Sarah's up against. Good thing, because the minute he sees her something primal kicks in, turning everyday attraction into red-hot desire. As long as they're cooperating, why not mix some pleasure with business? Of course, Max should probably tell Sarah he's a vampire himself... Twisted In human form, Terrent Vilks is all male animal--dark, ripped, predatory. As wolf, he's unforgettably dangerous, unforgettably hot. Yet Maggie can't remember him... Not even when she learns she once agreed to mate him.

Now that he's in the same benighted calling—and forced into proximity with her—all the old desires are roaring back to life... After widowhood and centuries of celibacy, Lily is eager to explore the wild side of life, except now she's vulnerable to another forced relationship, with an enemy. But this time she's determined to choose her own path. And if hot, furious Caleb comes charging to the rescue, it might just change both their destinies... Love is about to start conquering...

Two forces rule the world-Fear and Desire. Vampires are masters of both. 3,000 years ago, the first Vampiri walked the earth. The Ancients. They've lived among humans ever since-ruling from the shadows-and I am one of them. Though most of our power comes in numbers, I reject that way of life. Being a mercenary not only pays well, it also requires ruthless skills-and I don't care much for humans... except for one. Wanting me to choose their side in the Străbun Dynasties' battle for supremacy, the Martel Dynasty has hunted me for centuries, but I've remained just out of their reach. Until a new bounty-hunter crashes one of my kill-jobs, forcing me to save my mark, Mathew Delvaux, and take him with me during my escape. Having to babysit a human while vile hunters try to abduct me, was not part of the plan, but for the first time in three millennia all four clans are after me, and I suspect that Mathew is the only one who can help me figure out why. They'll stop at nothing to get what they want, even tracking down the one man I've ever loved. One-Click today! *Perfect for readers who love Bella Forrest's "A Shade of Vampire."*This book is recommended for readers 16 and older due to devilish sexy Vampires, and a very endearing nerd.*
