"Do you not like my tongue on you?" Dhareus: My mom has grandbaby fever. She won’t get off my back about wanting me to settle down! It’s only gotten worse since I had to call off my wedding with my gold-digging ex. Mother believes my evil ex’s lies and wants me to get back together with her. But I don’t want to ever trust Xelpria— or any other woman!— ever again. I avoid relationships and only have one-night-stands now. And as a successful, attractive minotaur, there are plenty to be had. But my realm's Winter Solstice ball is coming up and Mother has her heart set on me going with Lady Xelpria. My best friend suggests I tell my mom there’s someone new in my life, and bring her to the ball at the castle with me as my fake fianceé. That way my new “relationship status” will be very clear to both my mom and my ex. And hopefully both of them will leave me alone about us getting back together! We're talking about this at a pub, when a human baker overhears. She just happens to be the very same gorgeous, curvy goddess I can’t stop fantasizing about! And she agrees to play the role for me after my friend suggests it. Now I have a solution to my ex problem, but I might have a new one. Because I might be falling for Camilia, my fake fiancée. And I don’t fall for anyone — do I?? Gads — could she even accommodate the size of me? Or am I lusting after something that's physically impossible? Whatever the case, she stirs the beast in me, and I will possess her beauty.

Whoever said "violence is a last resort" never had a Minotaur for a best friend. Warlock Marcus Shifter has been sent on the most dangerous mission of his career: travel to the remote Minotaur nation and convince them not to abandon the tenuous peace agreement between the humans and the paranormals. But securing that peace requires his best friend, Steve the Minotaur, to help him find a way in to the isolated homeland. A homeland Steve left behind long ago, intending to bury his complicated past. Secrets and intrigue aren't the only trouble Marcus uncovers with the notoriously blunt Minotaurs.

Cut off from allies and low on ammunition, Marcus must find a way to prevent the coming storm before the human and paranormal worlds are plunged into a horrific, bloody war… Book three of the Shifter Chronicles

The Shamus Award–winning mystery series continues as a reporter’s investigation into a mysterious illness leads him to a deadly conspiracy. When he hears residents of a Newark neighborhood are getting sick—and even dying—from a strange disease, investigative reporter Carter Ross dives into the story—so deep he comes down with the illness himself. With even more motivation to track down the source of the disease, Carter soon hits upon a nearby construction site. But when the project’s developer is found dead, and his mob ties surface, Carter knows he’s looking at a story much bigger—and with even more dangerous consequences—than an environmental hazard. Back in the newsroom, Carter has his hands full with his current girlfriend and with the paper’s newest eager intern, not to mention his boss and former girlfriend Tina Thompson, who has some news for Carter that’s about to make tangling with the mob seem simple by comparison.
