Alliance in Blood by
Ariel
Tachna
Can a desperate wizard and a bitter, disillusioned vampire find a way to
build the partnership that could save their world?
In a world rocked by magical war, vampires are seen by many as less than
human, as the stereotypical creatures of the night who prey on others.
But as the war intensifies, the wizards know they need an advantage to
turn the tide in their favor: the strength and edge the vampires can
give them in the battle against the dark wizards who seek to destroy
life as they know it.
In a dangerous move and show of good will, the wizards ask the leader of
the vampires to meet with them, so that they might plead their cause.
One desperate man, Alain Magnier, and one bitter, disillusioned vampire,
Orlando St. Clair, meet in Paris, and the fate of the world hangs in the
balance of their decision: Will the vampires join the cause and form a
partnership with the wizards to win the war?
The first of a four part series.

The Archer by
Abigail Roux
Rocked to the core by
traitors and spies, the Organization made an unprecedented move in
bringing together six highly trained men to track down one rogue wolf:
The Archer.
There are three field
agents: one at the top of his game, one hoping to retire, and another
walking the line; a cold-blooded assassin who can use any weapon known
to man; a demolitions expert who can’t resist the allure of fire; and a
computer hacker with more tricks in his mouse than Houdini. This team is
made up of the best of the best, and if it can’t succeed in this
impossible mission, no one can. But no plan survives first contact with
the enemy – especially when you can’t even find out who he is!
Despite
what a cluster the assignment is from the start, the six men try to get
their act together to track down the rogue operative, and in the process
they discover there’s more to life than the next assignment. Now it’s up
to them to survive by working together and determining who the real
traitor is: an unknown friend, a close-by enemy, or the Organization
itself.

Children of Bacchus by
Andrew Grey
When Travis inherits the title to a large
tract of unspoiled woodlands from his estranged father, he travels there and
meets Cembran, a solitary figure who had been driven from his home. But the
handsome man who captivates Travis is much more than he seems – he is a
magical being, a satyr, and he awakens in Travis realistic, erotic dreams
the like of which he has never experienced.
What
Travis and Cembran don’t expect is for the dreams to bind them together
and warn them of danger – threats against the magical woodlands from
developers, against Cembran’s heritage and life with his people, and
against Travis and Cembran’s growing love for one another.
It’s
the hand of Bacchus himself that leads them into a life with one
another: building a family, establishing a home, and battling old
demons. And when the dreams return to foretell another threat to their
happiness, it will take Cembran, Travis, and all those they love to save
not only the satyr community and its lands, but the permanent future
Travis and Cembran hope to live together.

Partnership in Blood Volume 2:
The wizards and the vampires have forged an
alliance based on blood and magic, hoping to turn the tide of the war
against the dark wizards. A few wizard-vampire bonds are as successful
as Alain Magnier's and Orlando St. Clair's, but some are much less so,
leading to arguments, resentment, and outright fights between the allies
despite their mutual goals.
Following his best friend Alain's example, Thierry Dumont determinedly
forms a partnership with vampire Sebastien Noyer, despite the wizard's
discomfort with being so close to a vampire – a man – so soon after his
wife's death. But they find that desperation may be the key to forming a
covenant that works: Thierry and Sebastien are almost immediately
devoted to one another's safety.
With new strength behind it, the Alliance's leaders move to announce its
existence to the whole world, hoping to rally support against the dark
wizards who threaten to destroy life as they know it. Struggling to find
its way in the expanding war, the Alliance discovers that despite its
advantages, the partnerships are affecting the balance of magical power
in the world, which may be an even bigger threat than the war itself.

A series of murders in New York
City has stymied the police and FBI alike, and they suspect the culprit
is a single killer sending an indecipherable message. But when the two
federal agents assigned to the investigation are taken out, the FBI
takes a more personal interest in the case.
Special Agent Ty Grady is
pulled out of undercover work after his case blows up in his face. He's
cocky, abrasive, and indisputably the best at what he does. But when
he's paired with Special Agent Zane Garrett, it's hate at first sight.
Garrett is the perfect image of an agent: serious, sober, and focused,
which makes their partnership a classic cliché: total opposites, good
cop-bad cop, the odd couple. They both know immediately that their
partnership will pose more of an obstacle than the lack of evidence left
by the murderer.
Practically before their
special assignment starts, the murderer strikes again – this time at
them. Now on the run, trying to track down a man who has focused on
killing his pursuers, Grady and Garrett will have to figure out how to
work together before they become two more notches in the murderer's
knife.

Diplomacy
by Zahra Owens
Jack
Christensen has everything he ever wanted. He's a rising star in US
Diplomacy, the youngest man to have been appointed as an Ambassador of
the United States. A career diplomat who's just been sent to a
politically interesting Embassy in Europe, he has the perfect wife,
speaks five languages and has all the right credentials, yet there's
something missing and he doesn't quite know what.
Then Lucas Carlton walks into an Embassy reception and introduces
himself and his American fiancée. From the first handshake, the young
Englishman makes an impression on Jack that leaves him confused and
uncharacteristically insecure. Lucas' position as the British liaison to
the American Embassy means they are forced to work together closely and
they have a hard time denying the attraction between them, despite their
current relationships.
When their women decide to go on a weekend trip together, Jack and Lucas
start a passionate relationship, which continues long after their
partners return. Diplomatic circles are notoriously conservative though,
and they each know that the right woman by their side makes a very
significant contribution to their success. Will they be able to make the
right choices in their professional and personal lives? Or will they
need to sacrifice one for the other?

stress. But when his hopes and dreams for happiness overlap with the
