Holidays Bite

’Tis the Season…for vampires!

When the days grow shorter and dusk comes earlier, we may spend our time decorating with holly and mistletoe, drinking cider, and playing in the snow. But the creatures who stalk the night are in their element—and while visions of sugarplums dance in our heads, they’re lurking in the shadows, knowing there’s nothing so delicious as a vampire’s kiss. 

So settle in for a long winter’s night full of winter holiday vampire tales from these New York Times, USA Today, and international bestselling authors. Including paranormal romance, urban fantasy, and dark fantasy, this collection give a whole new meaning to the term heartwarming.

Because sometimes, the holidays truly bite.

Frenemies with Benefits

Searching for Love Book 1

I’ve spent my life running away from my past.

And for so long, that’s worked.

Not anymore. 

Now my past is out to get me in the form of Zach O’Malley.

He was my first crush, but that was then.

My name is still Beatrice Dobbs, but everything else has changed. 

I’m an adult now. 

I don’t want to go back to my troubled past.

Plus Zach is from the wrong side of the tracks. 

Sure, back when I was in high school, I had a thing for the Bad Boy, but not anymore.

And on top of that, he’s trying to get me to reconnect with my mother. 

I haven’t spoken to her since I was eighteen, and I would rather re-take the SAT’s than see her again.

And yet, I can’t seem to push Zach away.

He’s no good for me.

But maybe – just maybe– my teenage self was onto something.

What’s the harm in a little bit of fun?

Fun Love Book 1

Good teachers are not supposed to have such naughty thoughts about a single dad...

The first time I saw Will Munroe, I had him nailed. 

A classic LA guy, handsome and rich and very impressed with himself over both. Not to mention the kind of stockbroker who Bluetooths his deals on the trail my dog and I like. Who does that? 

Turns out, the father of my new favorite student. And since drooling is discouraged at parent/teacher conferences, I try not to look him in his steel-gray eyes. Which is how I noticed how hard his chest is under that button-down. And the conspicuous absence of a ring on his finger.

Basically, I have a crush on the one single dad who’s totally off-limits.

I really should have said no to that date. A delicious pancake breakfast isn’t worth my job if anyone finds out. An even more delicious romp in the hay is a little more worth it. So maybe just one more to double-check. Famous last words. 

Because the only thing worse than banging a student’s dad is falling in love with him.

Mistletoe Hopes

Kisses Under the Mistletoe

When a chance meeting under the mistletoe ignites a hidden attraction, Tess is forced to choose between fighting her desire or surrendering to love.

Christmas in the snow sounded like a brilliant idea when Kaitlyn pitched the idea of spending their annual sister holiday at a working ranch. However, mid-flight, Tess discovers Kaitlyn’s underlying motive is to spend the next seven days ogling the male owners of Dove Ranch.

Stuck in the snow with no electricity and a cowboy-crazy sister, Tess finds solace with the eldest brother, Weston, who deplores the suggestive misdirection of the ranch’s new advertising scheme. Agreeing to buffer Weston from the advances of the ranch’s eager guests, Tess finds herself falling for the man she offered to protect.

However, when Weston makes the ultimate sacrifice, Tess must decide if she’s willing to risk her heart on a cowboy.

Mr. Bossy Devil

Alphalicious Billionaires Boss Book 2

Operation ex-stepsister seduction

I know how it sounds.

And no, I'm not backing off.

There was a time when we were more best friends than siblings,

Until the great fall-out between our parents.

I always wondered how she was doing.

But I never looked her up.

I was too busy making billions.

So, imagine my absolute shock,

When she comes blazing right into my board meeting,

Legs a mile long, curves by the millions,

And absolutely ready to take me down a couple of pegs.

But wait. Because what the freaking hell happened to the nerdy kid I remember?

Since when did she have a need for a D-Cup, for god's sake?!

And why am I ready to fire all my executives for also staring at said cup area?

I know I should probably be way more concerned about why she is looking at me like I am the devil incarnate. 

But this devil is busy formulating other plans.

Plans which include his ex-stepsister.

Because this devil wants her.

And what the devil wants, the devil always gets.

Dark Tales

A collection of Dark Erotica - the scenes are blazing, the relationships are not traditional (if they can even be considered relationships), and a happily-ever-after is not guaranteed. These tales are NOT for the faint of heart!
