For tiger-shifter, Samira Anderson, leaving home for the first time to attend Harmony University should unnerve her. She’s never submitted to the fear of a challenge and doesn’t plan to start now.

When he discovers her secrets, a whole new world opens to him, filled with danger, unknown possibilities, and a passion so intense it could last many lifetimes.

Austin’s jaw clenched. His nostrils flared in obvious anger. She waited for him to yell and curse the ground she walked on. Instead, he relaxed face and the anger in his eyes cleared. “You’re right. You can’t be my mate,” he said sadly.

 

Tess sucked in a breath. All along it was what she had said but hearing him admit it hurt more than she ever thought it would. She opened her mouth to speak but he cut her off.

 

“You can’t be my mate until you let it all go. Josh. Steve. Your shitty friends, who should have had your back, not laugh behind it. Whatever it is holding you back. You can’t be my mate until you figure out that your cheetah and human sides are one in the same. Until you allow yourself to see what is right in front of you. Me. Your mate. A man, who regardless of how long we’ve known each other, would do anything in the world to keep you from hurting.”

PIMPIN‘: Caged by TILLY GREENE

A FEW WORDS FROM TILLY:  I spent 10 years living in England, specifically in the North, and was dying to bring some of what I saw into one of my books.  Caged starts in London and moves on to York with visits to places I loves to go to with each visit back.  The bondage sweetens it all.

BLURB:

Designing jewelry is Gabby’s passion. Her extreme work ethic keeps her working long hours until her body cries out for satisfaction. Succulent, the local BDSM club, is the perfect place to have sex and nothing else. There are no surprises when she allows her submissive soul out to play, until she answers one man’s call—and now she wants much more.

Strategy and control rule Max. As an environmental consultant he has the ear of government officials up to the Prime Minister and gets results. His passions, however, involve something more erotically inclined. As a silent partner in a private club, Max has benefits—a perk he’s grateful for when he first lays eyes on a busty beauty.

The club brings Gabby and Max together for sex, but what happens outside its walls is more intense, real and involves the heart.

Nik looked at her and waited for her to nod her head. “Coming right up.” His gaze narrowed in on Austin. “You may claim to be her mate, but until she says otherwise, I’ll be keeping an eye on you. Big man on campus or not, you hurt this pretty lady in any way, I’ll come after your ass. She’s had a hard enough time already.”

PIMPIN‘: Haulcon’s Revenge by YVETTE HINES

SERIES: single title

BOOK: not applicable

A FEW WORDS FROM YVETTE: This book came about from a dream. I saw the hero, Haulcon, in the middle of the woods, strapped down between for trees while he was bleeding to death. It was so vivid I could almost smell the sent of his blood in the air and hear the scream the was ripped from him.

BLURB:

USA Today Bestselling author Yvette Hines brings you a dark paranormal romance…

Haulcon has been left to die—without pride or honor. The clan he believed was family, brethren to him, turned out to be vicious thieves. Thieves of life. Now revenge’s blood beats Haulcon’s heart and he will stop at nothing to see those who attempted his murder pay. Resolving the issue of his saving grace, Adair, is a distraction he can’t risk.

Adair Ellis is a wildlife photographer, an explorer of sorts. However, the day she meets Haulcon, her life becomes more of an adventure than she can handle. Everything changes for her when she is drawn into a world so dark and dangerous it seems to rob her of her very being. But, she can’t turn back and she can’t flee the valf that she has become bound to for life.

EXCERPT:

“Ahh!” Haulcon’s scream ripped through the air vibrating the branches of the trees above him. He didn’t want to cry out. Had tried to fight it, but they pulled it out of him. Brought him this low.

He would be dead soon. He knew that. The breaths he took were counting down to his last. One of two things would kill him, either the silver seeping into his bloodstream and headed for his heart or the sunlight that would shine in a few hours.

Being a valf there weren’t many things that could end his life. However those that could were deadly, permanent. If he could shift into his wolfen form, he would be able to fight the silver poison. However they had made sure he would not be able to save himself. They had beaten and tied him spread-eagle in the middle of the woods, hands and feet to sturdy, thick oaks. The thick ropes bit deep into his wrists and ankles. If he even attempted to transform, the tight binding would snap his animal limbs at the joints. No wolf could tolerate being in such a position.

They hadn’t stopped there. Those silver-dipped blades they had used to pierce his sides allowed his blood to drain, even as the silver flowed into him. He needed to feed. Blood sustained his clan and their wolves gave them strength, made them powerful, undefeatable; except to their own kind. Those who plotted and planned subterfuge and attacks.

Now he lay in his own pool of blood, waste, and agony waiting for death to come for him. However, he was not fortunate enough for the valf-reaper to come quickly. No, they—his clansmen, his friends—had ensured the afterlife guide’s travel would be unhurried.

His clan, the men he’d grown, learned, and traveled with could have given him the honor of a single silver bullet to his chest. They could have notified his family to bathe his remains in holy water then burn him to ashes. They hadn’t wanted him to have pride in his death. No, he would be left drained and stiffened by the sun’s light. His carcass left for human scientists to discover and examine like a worthless specimen.

“Holy Hell!”

The voice could have been that of one of the valf Great Spirit’s angels. The relief at hearing it washed over him just the same.

His senses were deadening. When he was at full valf capacity he would have smelled a human getting close to him from miles away. Now, like a grotesque exhibit he lay prone as the female cringed before him.

“Release me…”

Her jaw clenched, the muscle popping out a little. She turned her head slowly in his direction. Her nostrils flaring as she sucked in shallow, measured breaths. When their gazes clashed, he could see the anger and hurt in her eyes. “I’m going rogue. Find some other bimbo to cater to you.”

He’s all that stands between her and a dozen potential threats…and if he doesn’t stake his claim, he may lose more than his heart.
