“In Heat”
Varad Mohan is the king of all weretigers, ruler of the planet Vesperi. He wants for nothing, and claimed the woman he loves long ago. But a tragic loss throws their marriage into turmoil. When her mating heat makes it impossible to avoid confronting their problems, will their passions reignite or will their love become a thing of mere myth?
“In Smoke”
When Lady Katryn’s ambassador father dies, she’s called back to her home world of Harena to join Lord Nadir’s harim. She despairs that she will never find love when she is only one of many wives. Having been raised among weretigers, she knows little about her own weredragon nature. Lord Tarkesh, the man tasked with escorting her to the weredragon capital city, awakens in her heart a fiery passion that leaves them both forever changed from the encounter.
She’s not certain she can ever call this foreign world her home, nothing feels right among her own kind. Every new revelation about the weredragon culture is an unpleasant shock. When she finds that a harim on Harena is not one man with many mates, but a three-way mating, and that Tarkesh is the other man in Nadir’s harim, she feels betrayed by a man she has come to love so quickly. More surprising is the intensity of her reaction to the commanding Nadir. He is a man who demands her heart, and she’s not sure how long she can deny either of them, no matter how she might want to. Will she find a place to belong with her two mates?
“In Mist”
Dr. Sera Gibbons loved Bretton Hahn the moment she laid eyes on the uptight merman ambassador. Surviving a crash landing after five hundred years in cryogenic freeze on an icy, mountainous planet, she’s discovered by the merman and finally makes it to the water world of Aquatilis — Bretton’s home world.
Bretton doesn’t know what to do with the genius scientist he brought back from the last trade run. He knows his people depend on the old Earthan technology to survive in their underwater cities, and Sera is an unexpected blessing with her knowledge of machines. He thought she would be the calmly logical scientist, but she’s a woman of deep desires. For technology. And for him.
A year later, Sera still hasn’t convinced Bretton that they’re right for each other. The passion between them erupts like molten lava, but he’s cool and controlled outside of bed. Sera refuses to be deterred. She’s a woman who pursues what she wants with stubborn determination, and she’s not about to let the love of her life slip through her fingers.
