Brutal Birthright by Elliott Rose

Blurb

He’s a warlord… and she’s the one he cannot claim.

Black-hearted warrior.
Ruthless in battle.
… Professor?
Rowan of Nocturne has no desire to join the academic staff at Astracadia Academy. But when tragedy strikes, his only option is to step into the training arena and commit to a role that makes his skin crawl. For an entire, torturous year.
Three centuries of having blood on his hands has taken a brutal toll. All he wants is to be left the fuck alone.
He sure as shit doesn’t need the distraction of the pretty fae he can’t get out of his mind. Especially one he is forbidden from touching.

***

Talented fighter.
Sister to the Queen.
…Student?
Oriana has one goal in mind. Succeed in reaching the elite Astral ranks, where only the strongest few from amongst the student candidates will be chosen. One year of sucking it up and being enrolled at Astracadia will finally allow her to prove herself.
The only problem is, the witch in command–the heavily tattooed brute overseeing the training arena–is out to humiliate her at every turn. He thinks she’s nothing more than a mouthy, irresponsible little girl. But she’s already survived one battle with Rowan of Nocturne, and she won’t allow him to ruin this opportunity for her.
No matter how often he consumes and invades her dreams.
However, outside the academy walls there are bigger problems than an illicit connection between teacher and student. Something dark is coming for them all. A portal to an unknown realm has been opened. The scent of battle lingers in the air.

Nothing can sway either of them from their mission… until one stolen moment, one kiss, changes everything.

Perfect for fans of Immortals After Dark by Kresley Cole, Lords of the Underworld by Gena Showalter, or the Sinner Sisterhood by Lana Pecherczyk. This is a M/F paranormal-dark fantasy romance with HEA guaranteed. (For readers 18+)

Mountains Made of Glass by Scarlett St. Clair

Blurb

“Could you love me?” he whispered. The question stole my breath and burned my lungs in the silence that followed.
I wanted to answer, to whisper yes into the space between us, but I was afraid.

All Gesela’s life, her home village of Elk has been cursed. And it isn’t a single curse—it is one after another, each to be broken by a villager, each with devastating consequences. When Elk’s well goes dry, it is Gesela’s turn to save her town by killing the toad that lives at the bottom. Except…the toad is not a toad at all. He is an Elven prince under a curse of his own, and upon his death, his brothers come for Gesela, seeking retribution.

As punishment, the princes banish Gesela to live with their seventh brother, the one they call the beast. Gesela expects to be the prisoner of a hideous monster, but the beast turns out to be exquisitely beautiful, and rather than lock her in a cell, he offers Gesela a deal. If she can guess his true name in seven days, she can go free.

Gesela agrees, but there is a hidden catch—she must speak his name with love in order to free him, too.

But can either of them learn to love in time?

Virgin Sacrifice by LM Ramirez

Blurb

For most, death is final.
For me, it was just the beginning…

My mother gave up everything to save me.
When she died last year, I thought my life was over, but Mami raised me to be a survivor. A fighter. And that’s just what I intend to do.

Tucked away in rural Connecticut, the elite Hollow Oak University is the perfect place for a new beginning. The plan is simple. Keep my head down, focus on my studies, get my degree, and disappear.

But the gothic campus is not the safe haven I had hoped for. Girls are vanishing without a trace. And, despite my efforts to remain unnoticed, trouble continues to stalk me.

Trouble like the Blackwells and their pet serial killer.

Alister, Nixon, Locke, and Everest are beautiful, brutal, and completely fixated on turning my fresh start into a nightmare. They already have blood on their hands—and now they’re out for mine.

Twisted Obsession by S. Massery

Blurb

My name is Melody Cameron…
Or so I’ve been told.


When I wake up in the hospital with no memories, I’m shipped off to Denver to live with a distant cousin who knows nothing about me.
If family can’t help me remember my past, who will?

I don’t expect it to be a gorgeous hockey player ten years younger than me. He knows things about me he has no right to know.

Yet, he still keeps secrets.
He makes me work for every answer while he unlocks my desire—and fear.

Still. I’m blind. Naive.

And when his twisted obsession becomes apparent, it’s too late. For both of us.

Dust Born by Elizabeth Hunter

Blurb

Sean Quinn returned to Cambio Springs to help his family find their way out of trouble—not uncommon in this desert town of shapeshifters—but before he can hit the road again, a new threat emerges on the border of his family home, a threat that could leave Sean stuck in the Springs just when he’s most desperate to leave.

And one unsuspecting human might be stuck right there with him.

Ever since Juniper Hawkins came to Cambio Springs to visit her big brother, strange things keep happening, not the least was running into the man who’d almost made her change her wandering ways. Juni wasn’t the kind of woman who settled down, even when the object of her affection was a tall, dark, and handsome photographer who kissed her senseless then abandoned her in Southeast Asia.

Not that she was still irritated about that.

DUST BORN is a brand new novel in the Cambio Springs Mysteries, a paranormal romance series by ten time USA Today Bestselling author, Elizabeth Hunter.

Madame by Sara Cate

Blurb

They think they know me, but they have no idea.
As a professional Domme, I see men and women come and go. But no one ever sticks around, and I like it that way.
I have a secret to protect—at all costs.
So when the cocky, handsome, and submissive Clay Bradley weasels his way into my heart, I do the one thing I’ve always excelled at. I push him away—forever. And like a good boy, he listens.
But a few months later, during a chance encounter, he shows up again, but this time he isn’t alone. He has the stunning Jade on his arm. And she has a request of her own.
She wants me to teach her.
I should say no. Training a woman who makes my knees weak is bad enough. But this particular woman is dating the man who still has my heart. It’s a recipe for disaster.
Made worse by one simple fact—they know my secret.
And they won’t let go.
But how can I protect what’s mine if I’m holding onto them too?
Jade and Clay are the only ones who truly see me and the only ones who know… I’m so much more than Madame.

Icarus and the Devil by Layla Reyne

Blurb

My name is Icarus for a reason.
If there’s a way to screw up a plan, I’m your man.

Case in point:
Falling for the man I’m supposed to seduce and ferry to his death.
Adam Devlin, aka the Devil.
A vigilante ex-cop and a thorn in the side of the mobster blackmailing me.
Should be easy.
Except Adam’s longing for intimacy—for submission—is irresistible.
Seduce him, yes. Lead him to his death, world of no.

There’s only one solution to save us both: kidnap the Devil.
I mentioned my name is Icarus, right?
Three guesses how this plan will go.
Bet you only need one.

Icarus and the Devil is a steamy M/M paranormal romantic suspense novel. It features two danger-magnet men trying to stay alive and failing to stay away from each other. Chaos ensues on their way to happily ever after.

Moonlit Temptation by Penelope Black

Blurb

They say everything happens in threes.
Good luck and misfortune.
I got fired, inherited my late-grandmother’s house, and moved across the country all in a weekend.
I thought I would get a reprieve, eager and excited to spend my summer with my cousin.

But no one warned me the rule of three could apply to men.
The charming playboy.
The enigmatic stranger.
The grumpy single dad.

Known collectively as the St. James men. And the most coveted bachelors in all of Rosewood. They run the Rosewood Reapers, an allegedly reformed motorcycle club. I find myself irresistibly drawn to all three of them in a way I can’t ignore.
So I don’t.

The only problem is, there are more secrets than people in this town. And I fear there’s one that could shake our very foundation.

The Fae Princes by Nikki St. Crowe

Blurb

I thought Peter Pan was a myth and Neverland a fairytale. A story spun by my mother who had lost her mind a long time ago.

But there was no denying the overwhelming shadow cast by Peter Pan when he was standing in my house.

Pan took me captive to Neverland and I somehow found my place among him and the Lost Boys.

I’ve never looked back.

Now I’m entangled right alongside him in a war we can’t seem to escape. We thought we had defeated our enemies.

We thought we could finally have our happily ever after.

But there was one enemy we never saw coming.

A fairy who has nothing to lose and everything to gain.

The fairy with golden wings and a dark, twisted heart.

She wants Neverland and she’ll stop at nothing to have it. Including destroying anyone who stands in her way, even her own flesh and blood.

NOTE: The Fae Princes is a reimagining of Peter and Wendy. Characters have been aged up for this darker, grittier version. If you like your enemies to lovers romance with hot, ruthless, morally gray love interests, you’ll enjoy this series. You can expect hate kissing, fighting, bickering, and ‘touch her and I’ll unalive you’ vibes. The Fae Princes is the final book in the main storyline for the Vicious Lost Boys Series.
