Julia stopped in her tracks. “Oh god. Is that—?”
Sophia bounced toward the table. “Yes! How did you know we’d love this, Nat?”
Natalia laughed. “I don’t know, but from what I saw of Sam, you guys have some sweet tooth that can’t be cured.” She grinned. “And really, who the hell doesn’t love chocolate cake? That’s just insanity.” When the women pointed at the two extra cakes, she smirked. “You girls don’t think the guys and I deserve a piece?”
They all laughed.
Sam had to hand it to Nat. She fit right in with the shifter group. They each cut a large piece and walked out to the yard where the nurse guarded over Shane and Selena. Riel walked up behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist. She sighed and leaned back into him.
He fluttered his lips over her ear. “Thank you,” he whispered.
She lifted her head and peered at his beautiful golden eyes. “For what?”
He turned her in his arms. Her breath hitched at the emotion in his eyes. “For coming home.”
She pulled his head down for a kiss. Ginny’s death might have brought her home, but her mate was the reason she stayed.

Sharp Change
Black Meadow Pack Book One
Only the hottest sex can cool a wolf in heat...
After her sister is bitten by a werewolf, geneticist Sophia Reece begins researching shape-shifters and isolates a gene she calls Furry Beast—FB for short. But in her excitement over her discovery—dancing in the lab is never a good idea—she has a teeny little accident with the samples, one canine, one feline, and winds up landing on the syringes, pointy side up.
Werewolf Chase is head over heels in lust with Sophia. He can’t stop thinking about the human’s sexy body or how badly he wants to get her naked. But she acts as if he has fleas. So why, all of a sudden, does she stare at him like a wolf in heat? And what smells like cat?
When she experiences her first mating heat, Sophia isn’t prepared for the new feelings she’s experiencing, and her secret desire for Chase refuses to remain under wraps. For Chase, this is his wildest fantasy come true—to finally get his hands on the curvy, caramel-skinned Latina. But when some serious predators come sniffing around her research, Sophia will have to find out what she’s really made of, and Chase will have to decide if he’s man—or wolf—enough to make things permanent…

Fate’s Wish
The man she loves left her, but he’s the only one that can protect her.
Sharmila is a witch with a problem. Her magic is waning. And her lack of sex may have something to do with it. Her mother’s solution? Easy. Sharmila needs to get laid. Easier said than done, though, because Shar is still in love with the only man to make her melt, Zahir Darkwrath. Her missing husband. Her demon.
Zahir knows he’s a danger to Shar, so he’s done his best to stay far away. Darkness flows through his being, and when emotions run wild, destruction rages around him. And sex with Shar is definitely wild. Staying away from the woman he loves is the hardest thing he’s ever done, but hurting her would be far worse. So he’s astounded when Shar’s mother hires his company to watch over her.
Evil is heading Shar’s way, and Zahir is the only one who can stop it. To save her, Zahir will need more than control; he’ll need the power of his own darkness--which might be his undoing.

But when their plane crashes on the way to a meeting, leaving them stranded on a deserted island…just the two of them, all alone with all that ocean around them…Kara decides it’s time to start living.

Chloe can “talk” to animals…so why can she hear the thoughts of this hot, green-eyed man?
Abandoned by her mother and raised by a father who’d given up on life, Chloe doesn’t let anyone get close. Lucky for her, she can communicate with animals—telepathically. Her long hours at the animal shelter help her cope with the stress, and the animals are the only people she needs. But when a suspected dog-fighting ring comes to her attention, Chloe decides to do a little spying. And in her rush to win the dogs’ trust, she almost gets herself caught.

But the animal attraction is just too hot to resist, and the passion between them makes both the sparks—and the fur—fly…
