The Spirit Path, Madeline Baker (Blush, historical, paranormal, short novel)
Blush sensuality level: This is a suggestive romance (love scenes are not graphic).
Shadow Hawk, leader of his people, has been troubled by visions of a white woman. But even more troubling is the voice he hears, warning that he can't fulfill his destiny, or that of his people, without her. That warning takes Hawk to the Cave of the Spirit Path, and into the unknown world of the white man.
When Maggie St. Clare finds a wounded man on her property, she's stunned. He looks exactly like the man she dreamed of years ago …
As days pass, Maggie and Hawk come to realize that, as impossible as it seems, their destinies are entwined. In spite of their differences, their devotion to one another proves true love is stronger than time itself.

Felony Hex, Saranna DeWylde (paranormal novella)
Sequel to Furyous Ink
Esmerelda Payne is a good witch gone bad, and that's the way she likes it. But there are consequences to every dark deed, and Esme's comes in the form of the Witchfinder, who's been hunting her for more than 200 years. Nicodemus Frost is as cold as his name — except in her fantasies, where he's hotter than Hades.
Frost has every intention of killing Esme for a grievous sin committed in her past life. But not until he gets what he wants in the here and now. He uses a spell to bend Esme to his will, make her crave his touch, his body. She'll do anything he asks — and Frost will do the same, because the spell works both ways.
Now they're equally consumed by lustful need … which makes it hard to notice common enemies approaching.
Getting Even, April Vine (Exotika ménage quickie)
Exotika stories focus on a sexual journey or adventure. Although they may contain a romance, they do not have to include that as the primary focus; the relationship does not need to be monogamous or end with commitment.
Sara Smith's extravagantly planned pity party goes out the window when her best friends, Alan Sanders and Ridge Cox, take matters into their own hands. Literally. Both men refuse to stand by and watch her heart break over a loser who's now marrying someone else. Instead they convince her revenge is sweet and feed her ideas of getting even.
Naked. With them. On stage. While other people watch.
Hotly seduced, Sara gives in to temptation. And discovers herself along the way.
Hero Unleashed, Anna Alexander (paranormal, BDSM novel)
Book two in the Heroes of Saturn series
Princess Amaryllis should have been sad to be exiled from her home on the Saturn moon, but on Earth she finds freedoms she never imagined existed. She embraces her new home with big, open-mouthed kisses and establishes herself as a prominent businesswoman catering to the humans' most intimate desires.
When the former head of her father's guard enters her domain, he rouses not only old insecurities but also a burning desire to see him lose the formal constraints and succumb to the promise in his command.
Lucian Kilsgaard was a warrior without a mission until he received word that an assassin had been sent to ensure the exiled princess does not return to reclaim the throne. He goes to warn the princess and instead of the unconfident, impulsive girl he remembers, he finds a bold temptress. How can he protect her when all he wants is to sink into her softness? He vows the line between protector and lover will never be crossed, yet Amaryllis will test his resolve until he takes exactly what he needs.
Reversal, Cara McKenna (Exotika quickie)
This is the third title in the Curio Vignettes series, follow-up stories to the novel Curio.
Didier Pedra can read a woman's body like a book, sense her deepest needs and satisfy her every craving. It's his job, after all.
But drop him in the center of Paris, the only city he's ever known, and he's lost, reduced to a trembling wreck by agoraphobia. When the world feels too frightening, he eagerly escapes into sex, that realm he could navigate blindfolded. Except one of his lovers — Caroly, the only woman who doesn't pay for the pleasure of his gifts — insists she prefers the real Didier to the capable, seductive facade. She urges him to let her lead for a change, so he can confront the fears that haunt his mind through the familiar safety of his body.
A night's cathartic reversal, when the masterful tutor submits to his student's darkest curiosities.
Fiery Temptations, Victoria Davies (paranormal, shape-shifter novella)
A wounded dragon crashes through Mae's roof, putting her in a difficult position — kill the man just as likely to barbecue her as thank her, or honor her oath as a healer. What's a witch to do? Determined to take the higher road, Mae does her best to save him. She's playing with fire and knows it — she just didn't expect it to feel so good.
Lucas has no memory of the attack that grounded him in a witch's house, but his instinct is to roast first, ask questions later. But the more time he spends with Mae, the more passion flames between them. He lingers, exploring their simmering (and forbidden) attraction.
Desire gives way to pleasures of the flesh, the couple enjoying their wary truce and the sexual explosion it provides. Until reality comes knocking. Caught between the lover she cares for and the king who wants to enslave him, Mae faces the biggest fight of her life. And her dragon's heart is the prize.

Jake Wilder left the game of football for the quiet of his hometown, but he hasn't left fame behind. When a bewitching bookstore owner engages him in a sensuous battle of the sexes, he decides to teach the woman he believes to be a gold digger why she shouldn't play with fire.
With seduction as their mission, both set out to become the victor in their sexual play. But they both get in over their heads when struck with desire neither can deny. And surrendering to the pleasure of temptation will lead them to discover how some passions are more potent than any spell.
