“Go,” he said sharply into his vest microphone.
Even in human form, werewolves weren’t slowpokes. What went down next was textbook perfect. Adam and his men were on the Talent so fast she didn’t have a chance to shift her attack to them. Nate got her nose squashed down on the oil-stained floor, then snapped electrum plated cuffs snug around her wrists. The cuffs were charmed so she couldn’t break them, no matter how powerful she was. The Talent struggled, then cried out as Nate yanked her roughly onto her feet.
He dropped a depowering charm around her neck for good measure. Immediately, the energy-charged air settled back to normal. The girl gaped at the enchanted medal, then straight up at Adam. Adam’s heart stuttered in his chest. Her eyes were a breathtaking corn-fed blue, her lashes a thick dark brown. The twitch she’d sent through his cock morphed into a throb. Carmine shot him a look of surprise. Adam fought an embarrassed flush. The smell of his arousal must have gotten strong enough to seep through his clothes.
“’bout time you showed up,” the girl’s victim huffed. “This bitch needs to be locked up.”
Carmine flipped up his face shield and turned to consider him. The man flinched back, obviously wishing he’d refrained from complaining.
“Aren’t you Donnie West?” Carmine asked. “’Cause I know we’ve got a handful of outstandings on your drug dealing ass.”
“Uh,” said Donnie, abruptly recognizable under his bruises.
“That’s what I thought,” said Carmine, and let out his belly laugh.
Through all of this, the Talent’s eyes moved from one of them to the other, taking in their gear and their guns and getting wider by the second. When Rick and Tony caught up to them from the front, Tony’s upper canines had run out and his amber eyes were glowing. The girl sucked in a breath like this shocked her, though a partial change when younger wolves got excited wasn’t uncommon.
“What the—” she said before having to swallow. “What the hell kind of cops are you?”
Still holding her from behind, Nate’s slash of a mouth slanted up in a devilish grin. “Well, what do you know,” he drawled. “Looks like we’ve got ourselves an Accidental Tourist.”

WHEN A MYSTERIOUS STRANGER with a briefcase full of cash moves into Elyse’s brownstone, she never imagines he’s a genie. Cade is gorgeous and sophisticated, but nothing about him adds up . . . that is, until she learns he’s a magical being desperate to break a curse on his home city.
Teaming up with a human female isn’t the only challenge Elyse’s sexy tenant will have to face. His trip to Elyse’s world created a duplicate of himself, a not-quite carbon copy who believes he’s Cade’s superior.
Commander Arcadius should be easy for Elyse to resist. He’s arrogant, insensitive, and a chauvinist—making it obvious he doesn’t think much of her. Then, bit-by-bit, she sees past his prickly exterior. Arcadius is who Cade used to be before they met. If she fell for one man, chances are she’ll fall for the other.

The man everybody wants
WOMEN CAN’T KEEP THEIR hands off billionaire Damien. The mysterious mogul has it all: fast cars, killer looks, and a brain that just might be his best asset.
Mia loves her job at a PI firm. Her coworker Jake stars in most of her daydreams, so seeing him everyday is no hardship.
Jake hasn’t believed in human goodness since he worked black ops for the CIA. Romancing innocent Mia is unthinkable, no matter how enticingly submissive she seems to be. Then a case of corporate espionage forces them to pose as dom/sub duo, to catch the eye of accused wrongdoer Damien. No fantasy is off limits for this voyeur—until the attraction the pair exerts lures him to go hands on . . .
“I. love. this. ménage. I am still smiling about these characters. Another outstanding story.”—Mary’s Ménage Reviews
My name is Mia and I’m a lucky girl
BILLIONAIRE DAMIEN didn’t stop being moody just because Jake and I moved in with him. Fortunately, I've devised a strategy. I inherited a share in an exclusive erotic club, and they’re beta testing a role-play game. Surrounded by period perfect detail, members pretend to be Edwardian lords and ladies . . . or stable masters, if they prefer.
By switching up our dynamic, I'm hoping to smooth the snags in our otherwise fabulous ménage. Neither of my lovers has trouble opening his heart to me, but Damien would benefit from exploring his dominant side, and he and Jake could be easier with each other.
That’s my goal anyway. My plan might go up in smoke when Jake and Damien concoct their own scheme for me!
