The Immortal’s Bite

On a drive to Springfield, Cassandra Dare loses control of her car on icy roads and ends up in a cornfield in Kansas. Hurt and disoriented after the crash, she makes her way to a run-down farmhouse. Finding the door unlocked but no one at home, she takes shelter inside and falls asleep, only to be awakened by the pale but incredibly handsome Gregorie Darnsworth.

Gregorie is immediately attracted to Cassandra and sees in her a strong resemblance to his late wife, so he encourages her to at least put something in her belly before going back out into the cold. In short order, the drug he mixes into the warm broth she drinks begins to work and she loses consciousness.

When Cassy awakens, she learns that Gregorie was once a doctor and has been caring for her injuries, but she laughs at him when he claims to be a vampire… until he transports her from his house to her home in the blink of an eye. She is shaken but intrigued—and drawn to his deep, silky voice, hard body, and old-fashioned ways—so she invites Gregorie back the following evening.

Cassy has been waiting for a dominant man who will pay no heed to the demons of her past and simply take her, and Gregorie does just that, showing her it is safe to let a man touch her again and then satisfying her in a masterful way unlike anything she has felt before, bringing her body to the highest peaks of pleasure again and again. Their passion for one another grows quickly, but can a vampire—and all of the darkness that is part of him—really be the man of her dreams, or will she ultimately have to face a life without Gregorie?

Claiming Crystal

After her fear of commitment brings an abrupt end to yet another relationship, Crystal Harman knows she is in desperate need of a major change in her life. With the help of her best friend, that change comes in the form of Donaven Sharp, the ruggedly gorgeous owner of a remote mountain retreat called Cobalt Canyon.

Donaven soon realizes that what Crystal has needed for a long time is a dominant man to spank her properly and take control both in and out of the bedroom, and he doesn’t hesitate to put her over his knee for her first bare-bottom spanking. Though it leaves her blushing, Donaven’s mastery of her body also leaves Crystal all but trembling with desire, and his forceful, demanding lovemaking brings her pleasure like nothing she has ever experienced before.

Donaven is everything she’s ever wanted in a man—someone who will both take care of her and discipline her when she needs it—but Crystal struggles to reconcile her yearning to submit to him with the demands of her career as a social worker protecting vulnerable women. When tragedy strikes one of her clients and guilt sends her life into a tailspin, can Donaven prove to Crystal that they have a future together and she belongs not only in his bed but also at his side?

The Demon’s Woman

From the moment Landon Reed sets his eyes on beautiful Amy Piers, the fire she stirs in his blood drives him nearly mad with lust. Contending with the dark, savage impulses he inherited from his demon father is hard enough under ordinary circumstances, and resisting his fearsome need to lay claim to Amy is a truly daunting task.

But Amy’s sister holds the key to breaking the curse that sets Landon’s blood on fire, and those who serve his father will stop at nothing to keep that curse intact. To make matters worse, Amy is headstrong and defiant and Landon knows he is the only one who can protect her. He is left with no choice but to compel her obedience in order to keep her safe, even if that means taking her over his knee for a painful, embarrassing spanking as often as she makes it necessary.

Landon’s firm-handed discipline only increases Amy’s powerful attraction to the handsome half-demon. But if she were to yield to her own desires and beg him to take her long and hard, she fears that his mastery of her body would be so complete that she would surrender herself utterly to him forever. With danger all around them, can she trust Landon to protect her from their enemies… and from himself?
