Forget about those other celebrity chefs. Or as I like to call them.... Amateurs. Nobody can perfect a pastry like yours truly. People come from all over the world to taste my delectable treats. Women practically throw themselves at me, begging for a chance to suck the cream out of my éclair. I'm handsome, I'm wealthy, and I'm talented. All in all, life is pretty sweet. At least it was...until a beautiful Latina walked into my life and lit my whole damn world on fire. They say all is fair in love and war.

Liam Williamson was a legend in the NHL. Or rather...his family was legend. He’d been traded to four teams in as many years and it was widely accepted that his career was nearly at an end. Now he was with the San Francisco Gold, barely on the lineup and just waiting for notice that he’d been scratched from every game. Then he met Mia. She was funny and sweet and the most beautiful woman he’d ever laid eyes on. Unsurprisingly, Liam had fallen and fallen fast. But he was about to be traded and Mia lived in San Francisco. Her life was there....

With a face chiseled in arrogance, Antonio Emmanuel Rivas pushes all my buttons. The younger artist acts like my gallery, and everything in it, belongs to him. Including me.

While the beast chases me relentlessly, I wonder if the man I should hate is also the man my soul can't live without.

How the hell did he do it? Aaron had messed with my mind and twisted up my heart, but my body had never been so splendidly ravaged. Stepping away from the August Knights Motor Cycle Club was easy, but leaving Aaron was killing me. Was it crazy for me to want to subject myself to the madness that the group stood for just because I couldn't shake Aaron's hold on me? But, I couldn't go back. I had to consider his safety. I couldn't allow my twisted past to go crashing into the turbulent life he led.

Muscles. Mandy’s work was supposed to be regulated to muscles. Well, muscles and ligaments and tendons...and general body health and - Sigh. She was blabbering as usual, but muscles combined with lips that were way too kissable and a pair of sharp blue eyes that pierced right through all of her carefully erected defenses had a way of doing that to a girl. Blane was her fantasy - literally her nightly fantasy. He was sexy, strong, talented, and normally she would have thrown herself at his feet and begged for a night - or, cough, more - showing him exactly what that fantasy was.

For me, Cassandra Thorn, being born as a human, raised by an elite group of supernaturals, and struggling to reach my 20th birthday was far more fun than this. Then again, anything would be. In this case, "this" refers to being taken against my will - kidnapped - and trapped in an underground lab for supernatural shifters. Pretty ridiculous, considering I was a mere mortal. Or so I was told. Turns out there are a lot of things I was told, not all of them true.

Sold by my father to a group of strange men, I vow to never trust another male again. When my buyers turn out to be scientists who plan to experiment on me, I pray for a savior. Fate sends me a savage, horned alien alpha instead.
