Jack Flowers, saint or sinner, caught a passing bumboat into Singapore and got a job as a water-clerk to a Chinese ship chandler. Now, on the side, he offers girls (indeed 'anything, anything at all') to tourists, sailors, residents and expatriates, but he is haunted by his lack of worldly success and his fifty-three years weigh heavily on him. So when he agrees to act as blackmailer for the faintly sinister American, Edwin Shuck, in a plot against a general from Vietnam, he has high, not to mention wild, hopes of triumph. These are the outrageous confessions of an ingenious con man in the seedy and unforgettable world of expatriates amidst imperial ruins.

Roman couldn’t seem to get a grip or stay focused – she intruded into his mind and body as if she owned him. He still couldn’t figure out how it might be possible for a human…an exquisitely, beautiful female with the most astonishing violet eyes - his Bellezza… And, he was gone again – images of Vivian taking over while trashing his train of thought. A long sleek European car sped to the curb in front of the club across the street from Vivian Monaco's second floor apartment. As a professional researcher, the matte black car riveted Vivian – a hand-built Svengali HyperChrome. She’d only ever seen pictures and knew very few were hand crafted. Yet, it wasn't the gorgeous car that her attention locked onto as the pulse at her temple jumped rapidly and her heart pounded furiously. It was the impossibly tall, darkly handsome guy climbing out of the HyperChrome. His black hair caught the streetlight and shone deep navy. Heart fluttering in her throat, Vivian felt like she was smothering. Overcome by the craziest urge to dash downstairs - in her oldest flannel nightie – Vivian needed to run her hands through his thick black hair and, then kiss him silly. Intent on doing just that - Vivian couldn't believe her feet were carrying her directly to the front door - with no will of her own. #alovestory #RuleroftheVamps #vampireromance

I made a massive mistake in the heat of the moment with bear shifter Bjorn. Not only is he my coworker, but I can’t stand the big, gorgeous beast. I haven’t been able to stop thinking of him since that night—okay, since we discovered an ancient mating relic on the last episode of The Mating Game. After confiding my predicament to host and fairy dragmother Bibi le Bonnet, she convinces me to become a contestant on the show. Problem is, my last job in the public eye crashed and burned—thanks to Bjorn. I expect the paparazzi to have a field day, but they’re not the ones I need to worry about. My mother sees my latest shot at fame as the perfect vehicle to revive the reality show that canceled us both. I’ll get three questions. Can I play by the rules this time? Will I ever be able to look at Bjorn with experiencing white-hot rage? Or thinking about what his gorgeous body looks like naked? Three potential suitors. When Bibi puts Bjorn on stage with me, I swear I won’t pick him. But I think the bear might actually want me. And worse, I might want him just as much. And three dates to find my forever. Bjorn’s a completely different bear when he’s not behind the camera. I’ll do whatever it takes to make sure these feelings are for real, even if it puts me at odds with every shifter in Sunset Springs. And Mom will use every cheap reality show trick in the book to keep me away from him. But when the bear delivers a plot twist that none of us saw coming, our lives will never be the same.

Straight-A student and “brainiac” of the group, Aaliyah is an only child living with her father, the deputy Chief of Police in Los Angeles. Even though Aaliyah isn’t interested in singing, she’s shown a remarkable, natural talent since childhood. It takes a bit of persuading to get Aaliyah to be a part of the Divas, but she gives in, and joins the group to be close to her friends. During one of their rehearsals, the girls hear a song by Zena, a successful African American singer. All the other girls are inspired and imagine themselves being as successful one day—except for Aaliyah, who turns off the CD and grumbles that they can find a better role model. Then, when Aaliyah learns that Zena will be attending their performance—accompanied by her father—her whole world comes crashing down. And all of her friends, who’d been told that Aaliyah’s mother died when she was a baby, suddenly realize where her natural singing ability came from…

Night Music: Eight homicides in one night couldn’t have come at a worse possible time for already-overworked Detectives Frank Vandegraf, Jilly Garvey and Dan Lee of the Personal Crimes Unit. The night began with the audacious shooting of a shady and reviled investigator, and proceeded to get nonstop crazier. They can’t rely on the over-strained resources of their department, and as the cases compound and unexpected connections emerge, they’re on their own against the clock, fatigue, and mounting pressure from above. There’s only their own experience and savvy to fall back on as they navigate the treacherous urban territory they know so well. Open and Shut: The ultimate fate of a brilliant surgeon, convicted of the brutal murder of his wife, may be determined by two very different red-haired women. One is the mysterious lady in emeralds, who may be the key to proving him innocent, if only she can be located. The other is Detective Jilly Garvey, who doggedly worked to convict the surgeon but might now be his reluctant salvation. She and her partner, Detective Dan Lee, are driven to uncover the truth, following an elaborate and daunting trail of evidence through a maze of jet-set socialites, urban hipsters, shady investigators, low-life criminals...and still another murder!
