With ​a Kiss

Lissa Kasey - Inheritance
Seiran ​Rou's life is complicated—he's the only male in the world allowed to take magic classes in a female-dominant society, his vampire boyfriend, Gabe, is hinting that he wants more, and his mother is demanding a grandchild. But when a co-worker turns up dead on his doorstep, Seiran realizes his problems are only beginning. With the police dogging his steps, a stalker-like bartender watching his every move, and a magic groupie following him around, Seiran is finding it hard to hide his power—a power that if revealed could get him killed. The Dominion, the ruling body of elemental magic, seems to have started a deadly game to control the rare magic he possesses. Someone is pulling strings, murdering witches, and gathering power. When Seiran finds himself next on the hit list, he doesn’t know whether to run and hide or prove himself to be the powerful witch he is. If he stands up and fights, he’ll have to decide what is more important—hiding his power or protecting the ones he loves.

But their getaway becomes a fight for survival when a magic fueled blizzard strands them in the middle of nowhere…with a killer. When visions of a tower and a dying man fueling a deadly spell begin to fill Kelly’s head, he realizes he has to try to save his new family. Jamie isn’t about to let him go alone—no matter how against a relationship with his little brother’s best friend he might be. But their goals are the same: Protect Seiran, stop the spell, and make it home in one piece. It will take a brush with death to make them understand how deep their feelings go, and none of them will make it out unchanged.

When he inherits his late father’s house in California, it’s the perfect opportunity to escape. But he soon discovers the legacy of his father's family holds many terrifying secrets—including a blood-soaked fairy ring. Seiran fears his power might not all be natural.

Shifting ​Into High Fear Ghost/god Wes Cooper and his not-life partner, vampire Hudson Rojas, have settled into cohabitation in an upscale part of Toronto. So what if their hoity-toity new neighbors haven’t exactly rolled out the welcome mat for the paranormal pair? Their PI business is booming, and when a suspect they’ve been tailing winds up in the morgue, it’s alongside a rash of other shifters in apparent drug-related fatalities. Now Wes and Hudson must connect the dots between the shifter deaths and an uptick in brutal vampire attacks across the city. Throw in a surprise visit from Hudson’s niece—who may or may not be on the run from European paranormal police (who may or may not exist)—and guardianship of a teen shifter who might be the key to solving the whole mystery (if only she could recover her memory), and Wes and Hudson have never been busier…or happier. But when a nightmare from Hudson’s past comes back to haunt him, their weird, little found family is pushed to the brink. Mucking this up would mean Hudson and Wes missing their second chance at happily-forever-afterlife…

An ​Enemies to Lovers Shifter, Vampire True Mates story. Justice Volkov is the youngest Alpha Zenith to ever lead the wolf shifters. Following in his father’s large paw prints was a responsibility he met head on. Now at age thirty-three, he is alpha of the alphas. As a direct descendant of the original Siberian pack, his wolf is bigger and stronger than Justice, himself is sometimes able to control. His wolf howled long and hard but Justice kept it inside. It felt like a bass drum beating against his rib cage. The harsh breaths, angry snarls and the determined pacing inside him was overtaking him. Justice takes his role of leadership and his legacy very seriously. He has little time for romance, not to mention a true mate. His packs are his priority. With a human government trying to regulate them, an uprising of rogue shifters, and a violent team of scientists trying to experiment on them, Justice has his hands way too full. Chadwick ‘Wick’ Bentley is not enthusiastic when the captain of his escort tells him he has to leave his comfortable London home and go back to the States. As the Vampire King, he has no choice but to get his species back in line before they cause anymore chaos. At over one-hundred years old, Wick is no one to trifle with, but his smooth, charismatic manner makes him quite unique, despite the negative reputation vampires have. Wick has had nothing but time up to this point. He doesn’t feel the need to make issues pressing. Nothing is urgent in his life. Until he meets Justice. His beloved. _“Natural enemies can’t be mates.”_ Or so Justice thought. He knows his skepticism and rejection is hurting his mate, so while he fights their connection, Wick gets help from a source very close to Justice to help him win his beloved’s heart. Wick is a force all on his own, but when he’s blessed with a special gift from the Mother herself, not even Justice’s powerful wolf can prevent the prophesy from being fulfilled.

Nicholas Bella - You ​Will Bow Down
Dominic: ​I don't even recognize my best friend, Dante, anymore. Especially not after what he did to me. Turning me into some vampire/wolf monster. I don't even know what to do next and I'm still hungry. God, I can't do this... I can't kill innocent people for food. What am I going to do? Noel: Waking up tonight, I've got a few things on my mind. First things first, I've got a sexually frustrated brother in the dungeon who's probably going out of his mind with the need to release. I promised I wouldn't make him wait, so I won't. But after that... Theoden has left the fate of the prisoner in our cell, Jules, up to me. He's a friend of mine, I recruited him, but now I'm supposed to decide if he lives or dies. I can't help but feel that this is a test, one I can't fail. Deacon: Oh, the look on Theoden's face when he realized that I outsmarted him. I bet that doesn't happen often, if at all. In the end, I have more territory that I don't have to share. I did it all without jeopardizing my alliance with him. Now, we just have to see what Laurent and Akio will do next. Kendrick: I must say, things are turning out to be very interesting. I didn't expect to have to deal with the female Alpha mate of Laurent when I took him out. But she is proving to be fiesty and I like that in a woman. This tournament to decide who gets to keep this territory may prove to be one of the most entertaining things I've seen in a long time. Still, regardless of the outcome... I've already decided that this entire colony is mine for the taking. Theoden: Something isn't right and I don't like when things don't go according to how I expect them to. There should have been an attack on Josef's territory from Laurent and Akio, but nothing. Are they pulling back now that they know Deacon betrayed Selena or is there something else at play? I don't like the unknown and Josef and I need to figure out just what in the hell is going on and fast.

Nicholas Bella - Embraced
I’ve ​been betrayed by someone I trusted. Because of him, I was captured by my loathed enemy: The vampires. Right now, the sun is still high in the sky, but I know when it sets, I’m as good as dead. They can’t wait to get their fangs into me. I guess some would say I have it coming. I did raise a lot of hell with my Resistance crew, and I was planning on raising a hell of a lot more at dawn before I was sold out by Jonah. The vampires, werewolves and dragons, have been trying to track me down for months and I’d always been two steps ahead of them. *Laughs* I guess my number is up. I just hope they make it quick. You see, the vampires in my reality aren’t the romantic lot you read about in books. They don’t sparkle or hang out at high schools with their teenage girlfriends. Hell no, vampires are brutal, calculating, sadistic and bloodthirsty. As a matter of fact, all of the monsters are! That’s how they were able to take over the world so easily and change an entire civilization to suit their needs. Whatever happens, I know it’s not going to be pretty, so I’m preparing myself for the worst. May God help me. Warning: This novelette series contains hardcore sexual situations between men, not meant for sensitive eyes. I’m talking crude, lewd and full of attitude.

Mature Adult Content meant for readers looking for something dark, taboo, sexy, and unapologetic in their paranormal erotica. This is NOT a romance. This novelette is approximately 13400 words.
