Clarissa's Manster


Book Description

What happens when the love spell you cast to conjure the perfect man comes knocking at your door? Clarissa's from a long line of self-proclaimed witches, so when her great-aunt leaves her a sprawling eight bedroom McMansion in Manitou Springs—a Colorado mountain town thick with supernatural energy—she creates an occult-themed B&B that will attract visitors from across the country. But first, a soft opening and a girl's weekend where she leads her friends through a spell where they manifest their perfect partner. Dallas is a nomad, a drifter, a beach bum in the summer, and a ski bum in the winter with a job and a bank account that allows him to do whatever he wants, whenever he wants, and wherever he wants. He doesn't know what drew him to the paranormal B&B versus an extended stay hotel, but the moment the innkeeper opened the door, he knew he found a place to settle his wandering spirit. Clarissa is like no woman he's ever met, and while her witchy vibes are adorable, he's not sure he believes in witchcraft, but he does believe in her. She never expected him—the one man he's been dreaming of since she was a teenager—to knock at her door. Picture perfect down to the small scar on his chin and his big hands, he's everything she's asked the goddess to bring her, but when he tells her he's a non-believer, can she trust what's standing in front of her?

Tempting the Teacher


Book Description

When it comes to love, does it matter who is the student or the teacher? It’s time for Alisha Grayson to take on more responsibility in the family business and prove to everyone she’s more than a dumb jock with a pretty face, but when she takes over managing the outreach event, she’s forced to work with a intelligent, educated, and highly attractive professor who picks at all of her insecurities with every word out of his mouth—whether he means to or not. Stephen Lancaster has come a long way from the geeky mathlete scared of beautiful women and tormented for spending Friday nights alone with his books. But twenty-five years later, he’s still clues how a calculating female’s mind works, and frustrated by his fascination with the beautiful and stubborn female who resists working with him on the outreach event—the key to the next stage in his career. Even though Alisha exasperates him, she also tempts with her sharp wit and even sharper tongue, and no amount of applied logic explains away his need to make her his. To achieve their goals, they’ll have to work together to pull off an outreach event with billion dollar implications. But can they turn off their brains and listen to their hearts to accept the love of their lives? A steamy, contemporary, forced proximity romance.




Bedding the Boss


Book Description

When the attraction is hot and the competition is stiff, can love find its way? Billionaire Derrick Grayson knows all about the struggles of achieving a work-life balance, and will do anything to get to know the gorgeous blonde—his brother-in-law’s new boss—even go undercover as a maintenance man at her company. But he’s not looking for a onetime hookup, and while he works to convince her to explore a relationship, he doesn’t know the investor he’s courting is playing multiple strategies, and pitting him against the woman he wants in his future. As the newest, youngest, and only female executive with a program to grow, Jessica doesn’t have time for a relationship, but the stress release the hot, insistent, and totally off-limits Derrick provides is too good to say no to. So, she loses a few hours of sleep at night with each orgasm he gives her... it’s worth it as long as she can also win the $50M contract that doubles the size of her program. But when Jessica finds out who Derrick really is—her competition—she questions her feelings and her intuition, and shuts him out as she attempts to repair the damage their relationship causes her career. Can Derrick convince Jessica that business and love can co-exist? A steamy, contemporary, office romance with a twist.




Animal Attraction 4-Story Collection


Book Description

Four-legged hijinks aside, they help our heroes find happily ever-after... This is a collection of previously released steamy, short contemporary romance, complete with instalove and a guaranteed happily ever-after. If you're looking for a great lunchtime read, or something to spark sexy dreams before bed, you’ll want to pick this one up. Lucky Dog Jericho: I’m used to people giving me and my dog wide berth, considering nothing about our appearance is unnerving. We’re both big, strong, and give the impression we’re looking for trouble, even when we’re not. So, when a gorgeous redhead baby-talks the beast between my legs—the Rottweiler—of course, I’m intrigued. Callie: I love dogs and know some of the biggest and toughest looking are really snuggly teddy bears. But when I get a look at the guy, this beautiful Rottweiler is walking—yes, she’s walking him—I wonder if the master is as snuggly as his four-legged fur baby. Frisky Kitty Gideon: I just got my butt kicked by a seven-pound alley cat. I’m bleeding and holding claws of fury hostage in a tablecloth while we wait for the vet—a woman who takes my breath away when she enters the room. I’m thinking the bloody scratches are worth the “doctoring” I’m hoping she’ll give me. Stephanie: I’ve seen a lot come through my office, but when a battle worn beefcake takes my direction and gently nurses the newborn kittens of the feral cat who just kicked his butt, I wonder if he would be as gentle with me? Puppy Love Kirian: It’s been three weeks since my new neighbor moved into the adjoining duplex. Three weeks of hearing a woman I’ve yet to see conjure up fantasies with her phone sex job, and of a howling demon dog who makes noise morning, noon, and night. I’m ready to give her a piece of my mind, except she isn’t what I expect, and one look at her spilling out of her tank top erases all of my complaints except one—if she’s going to cause me to lose sleep, I have a much better idea on how to we can do that. Jamie: I’m a PTSD counselor—not a sex phone operator as my neighbor accuses—and I’d be a lot more pissed off if he wasn’t standing there, near naked, in the form of some mythical Nordic god. And the fact that my puppy has sided with him isn’t helping me stomp away in a huff, either. Should I trust my puppy’s instincts and give this guy a second chance at a first impression? Rescue Me Dorian: I’ve wanted to adopt a dog for the last year, but I believe a dog—much like a girlfriend—should come into my life naturally, not via an app designed like a dating service. So, you can imagine my surprise when I meet the woman of my dreams who not only fosters the dog I want to rescue, but wrote the date like ads. Can I convince her to rescue me like she’s rescued the adorable fur kids that brought us together?* Cersei: I’m a romance author as well as a foster mom, so my adoption ads get some inappropriate inquiries that have nothing to do with the dogs, but I can’t ignore the response from the hot guy with the sparkly blue eyes who seems like the perfect adopter. After we meet I’m wondering if he’s also perfect for me, and if he could be the guy to give this romance author her happily ever-after?

The Autobiography of Malcolm X


Book Description

Malcolm X's blazing, legendary autobiography, completed shortly before his assassination in 1965, depicts a remarkable life: a child born into rage and despair, who turned to street-hustling and cocaine in the Harlem ghetto, followed by prison, where he converted to the Black Muslims and honed the energy and brilliance that made him one of the most important political figures of his time - and an icon in ours. It also charts the spiritual journey that took him beyond militancy, and led to his murder, a powerful story of transformation, redemption and betrayal. Vilified by his critics as an anti-white demagogue, Malcolm X gave a voice to unheard African-Americans, bringing them pride, hope and fearlessness, and remains an inspirational and controversial figure today.
