Dad Bod: Dragon by Ava Ross
I’ve fallen for a grumpy dad bod dragon shifter – who’s also my boss.
When my old boss makes unreasonable demands, I quit. Now my rent’s overdue and my cupboard’s bare. Blackballed by her, no one will hire me. That’s when I spy a nanny position in my old hometown. Moving back home feels like a failure, but the salary’s amazing.
Hired, I move into the owner’s castle (really, a castle!), determined to show love to Kuunik’s wounded and incredibly sad daughter, Livy.
In no time, Livy and I are besties. As for my hot dad bod physicist boss, Kuunik? He’s grumpy, compelling, and if he didn’t insist I follow some rather mysterious rules, I’d be all over him.
Rule #1: Stay in my room after dark. Weird, but okay.
Rule #2: Don’t fall in love with him. Conceited much?!
But something odd is going on at Kuunik’s castle, so I break rule number one and walk the castle parapet at night, where I see an enormous bird swoop above the forest. I swear the “bird” shot fire into the sky.
As for his second rule, I’m quickly a goner. Behind his snarls, Kuunik hides a sweet side that makes me crave him like no other. But he’s as mysterious as his castle, and if I don’t figure both of them out, I’ll wind up with a broken heart.
Satyr’s Mate by Maggie Mayhem
The plan was simple: pretend to be my sister and attend the Monsters & Magic Charity Gala in her stead. I score a fancy meal, and she gets to dodge the fortune teller’s prediction that she’ll meet her future husband at the event and be tied down forever. Win-win. Easy, peasy.
Everything goes smoothly until a rogue spell goes off, and a smoking hot satyr comes to my rescue. When I wake up the next morning in my birthday suit beside my very well, um…equipped… hero, he immediately starts professing his undying love. I freak out and book it.
But now, Shane is all I can think about. I keep imagining him everywhere, even in between the bookshelves at work. Wait a minute… Shane really is in my library. And he claims I’m his mate! The sexy, possessive monster promises me forever, but will he still want me when the wayward love spell wears off?
Stranded with a Dirty-Talking Shifter by Olivia T. Turner
I thought I was the queen of dirty talk.
I’ve written it in my books, but have never experienced it in real life.
But fiction soon becomes reality when Oliver Brooks finds me.
I’m stranded in a torrential rainstorm with nowhere to go.
He says he wants to help me.
He says I’m his mate.
And he says a whole lot of other things that are too dirty to repeat.
This hot bear shifter has the queen of dirty talk blushing.
He has the queen on her knees.
And I’m loving every second of it.
There’s a new king in town.
And I’m stranded with him for the night.

Dad Bod: Wolf Shifter by Bella Blair
Will she still want me once she finds out who I truly am?
PEPPER: A handsome new neighbor moves in next door, together with his adorable twin sons, arousing my curiosity and other… feelings in me. Strangely though he seems to hate me, even before we actually meet.
Which is too bad, because my daughter Tiff is just as taken with his sons as me.

GAVIN: A new town, a new start, a new life. That’s what I wanted, but my gorgeous neighbor is destroying the peace of mind I had hoped to find.

It doesn’t help that my sons seem to adore her and her young daughter. But how can we be friends or have a relationship when I need to keep our secret hidden?

Bonded Beyond Belief by Ember Davis
CREW: I’ve never been the lovestruck male waiting around for the hand that fate has dealt to bring me my mate. That doesn’t mean I didn’t want to find the other half of my soul because I did. The more years that have passed, while I witness more of my packmates finding their mates, loneliness has become a bitter pill to swallow.
I have learned to rule as the Alpha of Golden Summit without a Luna by my side just fine. Now, I’m not sure I need my mate. Maybe my pack and I are better off without her. Or maybe she doesn’t exist at all. My heart has become hardened to the idea of a mate; there’s no reason to stop sampling the she-wolves who throw themselves at me.
I never expected that my little sister coming home during her spring break from college would bring my mate right to my door. If that isn’t enough, Elodie is a human who has no idea that she’s mine or about the existence of shifters. How can she become my Luna? Should I accept her or resist the mate bond out of spite? Did the Moon Goddess get this wrong or is she testing me?
ELODIE: Until I met Tilly in college, I didn’t understand true friendship. I’ve been alone for so long and trying to find my way in the world. Tilly showed me what it means to have a sister, even if we aren’t blood related. She let me get away with refusing to go back to her home with her for a while, but she won’t be put off this time.
Meeting Crew, Tilly’s brother, makes me feel things I’ve never experienced before. There’s a pull to him I don’t understand. That would be fine, but I don’t think he’s feeling the same thing. He’s avoiding me like I’m diseased, and I don’t understand why. Then there’s his all-female fan club which shouldn’t bother me as much as it does.
When the truth comes out, everything I believe to be true and the world around me shifts. Tilly, Crew, and everyone around me is something I never thought could be real. But they are. And I’m Crew’s mate, his Luna? Can he accept me? Will I find my home amongst a wolf pack and help to lead them, that is if they can even accept me? If I go back to where I belong, will Crew come after me or let me go?
The Manticore’s Mate by Andie Fenichel
Leona: I thought I could handle it, but I was wrong. My ex just married my sister at a fancy hotel in upstate New York. The party is just getting going when I reach the last of my strength. I can’t take it anymore. With no idea where to go, I run into the woods, hoping to catch my breath. In my panicked state, I get off the hiking trail and lose my way. The music is so far away, I’m not even sure what direction it’s coming from. That’s when I see a lion. I must have lost my mind because there are no lions in New York. My instinct says to run, but there’s something in his eyes that’s almost human. I see pain and hopelessness, and in that moment, I can relate to this beast. Thinking he must be injured, I carefully draw close enough to see there’s an injection dart protruding from his chest. I might lose an arm for my troubles, but I move in and pull the needle.
Cade: At first, I imagined the beautiful brunette running toward me was a woodland sprite. I’ve been stuck in my manticore form for too long. Soon I’ll lose my humanity completely. I don’t know who shot me, but with the poison still pumping in from the syringe, I can’t turn back. Then she speaks, telling me to please not bite her. Her voice is sweet and soothing. She pulls the damned needle. I immediately shift into a man, wanting to know more about the angel who saved me. So, when she runs, I chase her. Why she’s more scared of a naked man than the monster? I don’t know, but I’m willing to spend the rest of my life trying to find out.
Worship by Celeste King
I’m a priestess, devoted to my god…
…until he makes me break my vows.
He takes my body for his pleasure.
And he keeps coming back for more.
I should fight this urge…
But my body aches for his touch.
I can’t keep doing this.
I’ve betrayed my position in the worst way.
Yet, I can’t fight him off whenever he seeks me.
If I’m discovered, I’ll be ruined…
And my body learns to love the thrill.
Devotion is what I’ve always known.
Now, I’m finding something new to worship.
My body knows this. My heart isn’t ready to admit that…
I belong to him.
Secret Daughter for the Alien Warrior by Athena Storm
A Kaleidian soldier captured my heart.
And left me with an unexpected gift goodbye.
Garet finds me, lost and wondering a perilous jungle.
He saves me.
And then claims me as his.
That decision changes our lives.
When he disappears unexpectedly, it breaks my heart.
I didn’t expect to want him the way I do.
Nor was I expecting to be forced to move lightyears away…
Or to find out I’m pregnant.
Without him, I’m lost.
Yet, I’m forced to survive.
My baby needs me.
But my heart needs him.
He’s my mate, the owner of my soul.
And the father of our baby.
Daddy’s Runaway by Sara Fields
She thought she could run from daddy. She was wrong.
I was supposed to be just another mark for Willow Rose. Get in, get the money, and get out.
But I tracked her down and took back what’s mine.
Her.
I was gentle when I put the ring on her finger, but tonight I’m going to tie her to my bed, belt her bare ass until she’s sobbing, and force her to come for me until her throat is sore from screaming.
Then I’m going to make her take it like a good girl for daddy.
