As one of the new Masters of Avalon, Saul Danvers takes his responsibilities seriously.
With two Masters absent from the club, he knows it's not the best time to take a few days' vacation, but he needs to clear his head. When the opportunity to borrow a cabin becomes available, he's all over it, packed and ready to head two hours away to where the fall leaves are dropping and the nights are drawing in colder.
Halloween is on its way.
Too young to feel so damned old, Caera Huxby stands on a precipice of life and death.
She can't sleep for the monsters in her head, she barely eats, and functioning like a normal human being is foreign to her. She can only see one way out of the mess, and the decision is final once it's made.
Desperation is a powerful motive.
When an offer from someone she considers a friend comes out of the blue, Caera takes it as a last chance to find some peace.
Little does she know that when the Masters of Avalon set their minds to something...
Kay Elle Parker is a British author living in the wilds of Yorkshire.
She has an eclectic taste in music, reads anything when she has the time, and loves Fell ponies and Border Collies. Her sense of humor is wicked and often downright dirty.
Writing romance is the dream, and Kay has books in dark, BDSM, and paranormal romance.
She’ll trust him with her life, but never with her heart.
When a routine job puts cybersecurity specialist Maddie Jenkins in the sights of a ruthless crime lord, her only hope of survival is past flame and former SEAL Commander Sawyer Abernathy.
The duo must put aside their differences and join forces in order to keep Maddie safe from the nameless and faceless man hunting her down.
As their time together draws out, the stakes grow higher, not only on Maddie's life but also on both their hearts.
Can they work together to eliminate the threat before it's too late?
**Touch of Secrets is the first book in the Peak Securities series. While each novel in the series tells the story of a different couple, this book ends with a cliffhanger and they should be read in order.**
Sawyer’s eyes drop to my lips, and he pushes himself off the ropes before stepping between them and jumping down. He turns to face me, and my pulse jumps when I’m confronted with the darkened blue of his eyes.
With a swift stride, he’s caging me between his arms with my back against the raised platform. We stand there breathless, salty beads of sweat rolling down Sawyer’s diamond-cut chest and abs, drawing my gaze down, down, down. I imagine how good his skin would taste as I follow the trail with my tongue. I’d trace the tribal wolf howling at the moon inked over his left peck, nipping at his abs on my way to the waistband of his boxer shorts.
The traitorous muscle flicks out to lick over the seam of my upper lip before I lift my gaze to meet the hunger in his eyes.
“I can’t kiss you, Maddie,” he whispers in that same deepened voice that promised to see me to the other side of this, the sound licking heat up my spine.
“But you want to?” I ask with as much teasing intent as I manage to muster, beating down the hope bubbling into my words.
Sawyer smiles, his knuckles gliding up my arm to my cheek, fingers fanning out when his hand returns to my neck, then slides to my nape before his soft touch firms. He pulls me to him, drawing a sharp gasp, his night-sky blues swirling with desire at the sound.
His jaw is locked in a tense tick, the war painfully visible on his rugged face.
“Do it,” I issue the dare. Please. I don’t have the courage to vocalize the plea.
“I can’t kiss you,” he repeats with a tense jaw, hand dropping to his side as he turns and heads for the locker room, leaving me worked up and panting, with a hairline fracture in my heart.
Kyra is the author of steamy and emotional love stories with a whole lot of passion perfectly paired with intimacy.
A firm believer in "words create reality," Kyra aims to break the taboo around women's sexuality and toxic masculinity by writing sex-positive romance full of strong women, beautiful female friendships, and alpha cinnamon roll men (aka - #alpharoll heroes).
Musician Ford Malone left Texas, without so much as a backward glance—lured by the bright lights of L.A. and the all-consuming world of rock and roll. It’s taken a while, but his star is finally starting to shine. Ready to take the world by storm with his new band, Nobody’s Fool, nothing will stand in his way. Until he sees her again... the girl he left behind.
Since the death of her parents, Sydney Aiken has had no time for romance. Her entire life now revolves around being a full-time mom to her three much-younger siblings. And even if she were interested, the last person on earth she’d get involved with would be the jerk who broke her heart and walked away seven years ago.
A chance encounter brings them face to face and as the past and present collide, Sydney is caught between protecting her family and following her heart. Seven years is a long time, and Ford has no idea he’s about to untangle a web of ugly secrets. But the only woman he’s ever loved is about to slip through his fingers...for the second time. Will he realize that only she can play the melody of his heart?

Until supposed-to-be bridesmaid Zoey Voss shows up at the Whistling Dragon desperate for a phone to call a cab to get back to her hotel.
“You sure you wanna do this?” He bumped her arm with his. She had slipped his coat back over her shoulders, and now she held the coat tightly around her middle. “I want to do this.” “Do we have a story?” he asked as they hurried up the two steps and the sidewalk to the front door. Through the windows, Grant saw rooms crowded with people of all ages and sizes. The current song was something by Elvis. A Christmas tree lit up the corner of the front room. Several people held Solo cups. “Think there’s a keg?” she asked quietly. “Maybe.” He leaned close to the window to see better. “Doesn’t look like an all-college crowd, though.” “College kids don’t have the corner on kegs.” She shrugged. “Do we have a story?” he asked again. “Let’s wing it.” She tugged at his arm and pulled him to the door. Seconds after Grant rang the bell, the door swung open. Zoey peeked up at him as a young kid leaned around the door with a sloppy grin. He didn’t particularly look of age, but he did look smashed. “Hey! C’min.” The kid backed up and threw a hand out in welcome. “Zip’s in the kitchen, man. Grab a drink.” “Great.” Grant ushered Zoey inside and then closed the door. Small groups of people everywhere yelled to be heard over the deafening music. Grant reached for Zoey’s hand, pleased when she linked her fingers in his and followed him. The kitchen was obviously in the back of the house, so Grant led her that way. The wooden door swung closed behind them. More people gathered around the island counter, but the music was a bit quieter in here. “Hey.” A tall bald guy nodded at them. Since he was surrounded by people—four girls and two guys—Grant decided he might be Zip. “How ya doin’, Zip?” he asked with a knowing smile. “Where’ve you been, man? Haven’t seen you in ages.” Zip stepped forward and offered Grant his hand. “No kidding.” Grant shook his hand. “Been around. Same old same old.” “Ain’t that the truth.” Zip nodded enthusiastically. “Grab a drink. Catch up. I think Doug’s out back. Bet you haven’t seen him in years.” “I haven’t!” Grant suppressed a laugh when Zoey squeezed his hand. “Remember Zoey?” He pulled her in close to him. “Hey, yes!” Zip left the group he had been talking to and approached them with open arms. He swallowed Zoey up in a big hug and then gave Grant a bro hug, complete with a slap on the back. “Fancy digs, guys.” He stepped back to eye Grant’s vest and Zoey’s dress. “Well.” Grant aimed a sheepish grin at Zoey. “We eloped tonight.” “Say what?” Zoey looked at him with wild eyes, as if she seconded what Zip had said.

After I lost my dad, my roommate, with his tighty-whitey, pizza eating, gaming habits, wasn’t worth staying in Seattle for. So when I’m offered a job at an upscale mansion in the middle of Bum-Fuck-Ohio, I take it. I mean, what do I have to lose?
The answer?
Everything.
Not only do I discover that my exceptionally good-looking, albeit moody, landlord is a werewolf, (A-Freaking-Werewolf!) but get this... and it’s the real kicker, we're fated mates! The lust I feel for him is off the charts, which is odd since I’m human and humans being fated to werewolves is basically unheard of. There’s also the fact that I keep passing out and having these crazy dreams that scare Ryker half to death.
Then, I find out that it’s no coincidence that my boss hired me. It seems everyone knows more about me and the fact that I might not actually be human after all, than I do.
As I learn more about what I am, I’m left with more questions than answers. I do know that if left untrained, I’m dangerous for both Ryker and his pack. I have to fix that and fast!
Somehow, with a speed and strength, I'd never possessed, I flipped him over and rode him. I could tell he was caught off guard by the way his body locked.
I paid no mind to it. It was about him and me, connected. I needed it, and I needed more.
I rode him.
I bit him.
I scratched my nails down his back.
I was wild, nearly feral.
He came again and again, and I didn't let up.
"Ariel," he called. It sounded far off. I needed to fuck him. "Ariel," he grabbed my legs, trying to slow my movements. I batted his hand away. I had to have him.
More. I needed more.
I rocked back and forth fervently. I had no other thought than my need to make him orgasm again.
"Ariel," he yelled again, and the strangest thing happened. He began to change. I lost him inside of me, and I fought to get him back, but he was strong and fast, then he was a wolf pinning me down and snarling at me.
I blinked in surprise, seeming to come to, unsure of what just happened.
I scrambled back on the bed, and even in his wolf form, I could see the scratches and smears of red along his coat.
"Oh, God. What have I done?"
