What to do when the customer you can’t afford to lose is a thirsty vampire?

Fire Dancer? I wish. Just because I’m part dragon shifter, part pyromancer doesn’t mean I can control fire. Lately, though, I’ve started to show signs of magic — and that’s not the only unexpected development in my life. My wolf shifter ex is back in town and more consumed by his job than ever. Ingo is sweet, loyal, and in serious need of some work-life balance. As an agent in supernatural law enforcement, he sees enemies everywhere — including in my best customer. A customer I can’t afford to lose, given my financial problems.

But what if Ingo is right and that customer is a vampire? I’ve never met the reclusive Victor Jananovich, but Stacy, his assistant, is looking paler and paler, and she always wears three things: a pegasus pendant, a scarf that hides her throat, and a necklace with a blood vial. Is Ingo right about those warning signs, or is he just paranoid?

As a glass artist, I’m used to delicate problems, but I might be out of my league on this one. Still, I’m reluctant to confide in Ingo. Wolf shifters have their own ways of solving problems, and finesse is not one of them. But the stakes are high, with everything at risk — my struggling ranch, my fragile heart, and even innocent lives.

A delightfully queer Victorian love story, featuring a boldly brash trans hero, the beguiling botanist who captures his heart, and a buoyant bicycle race by the British seaside — from the author of The Duke Undone.

Former painter and unreformed rake Kit Griffith is forging a new life in Cornwall, choosing freedom over an identity that didn't fit. He knew that leaving his Sisterhood of women artists might mean forfeiting artistic community forever. He didn't realize he would lose his ability to paint altogether. Luckily, he has other talents. Why not devote himself to selling bicycles and trysting with the holidaymakers?

Enter Muriel Pendrake, the feisty New-York-bound botanist who has come to St. Ives to commission Kit for illustrations of British seaweeds. Kit shouldn't accept Muriel's offer, but he must enlist her help to prove to an all-male cycling club that women can ride as well as men. And she won't agree unless he gives her what she wants. Maybe that's exactly the challenge he needs.

As Kit and Muriel spend their days cycling together, their desire begins to burn with the heat of the summer sun. But are they pedaling toward something impossible? The past is bound to catch up to them, and at the season's end, their paths will diverge. With only their hearts as guides, Kit and Muriel must decide if they're willing to race into the unknown for the adventure of a lifetime.

Beware of charming warlocks with offers too good to be true and too dangerous to refuse.

ERIN

For some, Sedona is an enchanting place to commune with red rocks and mystical vortexes. For me, it's home, and my biggest goal is to climb the career ladder — literally — by becoming a hot air balloon pilot. But my dreams hit a snag when a trio of unexpected visitors shows up. Because those visitors aren't exactly human, and they're not just in town for the scenery. Suddenly, I'm dealing with

…a handsome, hollow-eyed shifter — my grouchy new colleague.

…a charismatic warlock with an offer that's too good to be true and too dangerous to refuse.

…a seductive vampiress with a thirst for power — and the same taste in men as me (no pun intended).

Before I know it, I'm thrust into the middle of a supernatural showdown over land, power, and love. And Im not just fighting for my job or my heart, but for everything I hold dear: my ranch, my life, and my family.

NASH

Burned out? On the run from my past? As a dragon shifter, I prefer to call it a little time-out. A low-key job as ground crew for a local balloon company sounds perfect, but I wasn't counting on Erin, my fiery, tough-talking boss whose troubles — and talents — run deeper than they first seem. Wind and fire behave strangely around her, and I doubt it's freak weather patterns that have been stirring up a recent spate of storms.

Erin has managed to attract powerful enemies, but she's not alone. With a ranch brimming with magic, her quirky sisters, and her Harley-riding warlock father, she's got some strong allies — including me. So much for not to getting involved or falling in love…

I wasn't planning on staying in town for long, but with all the strange twists of fate that brought me here, I'm starting to think I'm exactly where I'm meant to be. “All” I have to do to ride into the sunset with the woman of my dreams is to vanquish my foes — and fears.
