Too bad that parole takes place in Paris. (Texas!) Where she'll work at a school for the magically inclined. (KIDS!) And be forced to endure the ex who's one of the very reasons she landed in the pokey to begin with. (GAH!!) Bratty tots, sexy ex, timed showers, creepy dolls, magic restrictions and a GPS with an attitude, all wrapped in a Texas town hotter than the surface of the sun? Oh yeah. No way this could go wrong. HEAT LEVEL: 3/4 Moon.Claire Cavanaugh -- MIDNIGHT RENEGADE -- In the first of the new SEAL Team Infinity Series, Navy SEAL Commander Alex "Ice Man" Winters vows to take down those responsible for killing half his team and turning him into a genetically-altered monster.

With only once chance to reclaim his humanity, Alex must trust her...even as betrayal stalks them from every turn. HEAT LEVEL: Half Moon.Rachel Grant -- MIDNIGHT SUN -- Haunted by an ancient Iñupiat mask, a museum collections specialist breaks every rule to return the artifact to the arctic tribe where it belongs.

Can a man born to kill her find a way to save her--or will he be forced into a choice that will destroy them both? HEAT LEVEL: 3/4 Moon.Robyn Peterman -- SWITCHING HOUR -- Released from the pokey and paroled with limited magic is enough to make any witch grumpy. However, if you throw in a recently resurrected cat, a lime-green Kia and a sexy egotistical werewolf, it's enough to make a gal fly off the edge. Not to mention a mission...with no directions. So here I sit in Asscrack, West Virginia trying to figure out how to complete my mysterious mission before Halloween or get turned into a mortal. The animals in the area are convinced I'm the Shifter Whisperer (whatever the hell that is) and the hotter-then-Satan's-underpants werewolf thinks I'm his mate. Now apparently I'm slated to save my people? If they think I'm the right witch, they've swallowed some bad brew. HEAT LEVEL: Full Moon.Ann Voss Peterson -- THE SCHOOL -- All the kids in Lake Loyal, Wisconsin know the abandoned school must be haunted.

Even if that means going up against supernatural forces, a police chief named Val Ryker, and her sexy next door neighbor, Nate, who isn't what he appears to be... HEAT LEVEL: Quarter Moon.Jenn Stark -- GETTING WILDE -- A magical-artifacts hunter with an uncanny (and occasionally dangerous) gift for Tarot accepts a job she should have refused -- to steal the Devil himself -- and finds herself embroiled in two battles: an ancient war on magic, and the struggle to resist her wickedly sexy, immortal client. HEAT LEVEL: 3/4 Moon.WHICH SHADE OF MIDNIGHT ARE YOU?
