  A horn honking from the main road as a car drove past jerked her out of the moment. She pulled back, and Cole reluctantly lifted his head. They were both panting, and she could feel his heart was pounding as hard and as fast as hers. It was thrilling, knowing she aroused him as intensely as he did her.

  “There’s your kiss. You can give me my keys, now,” she said smartly, smiling against his lips.

  He levered back a bit and grinned down at her, those sexy dimples flashing. “Ah, but that’s payment from a previous debt,” he said

  Her smile broadened at his words. “A previous debt, huh? I should probably pay the interest on that.”

  He brushed his nose against hers. “You should. We need to negotiate the term. I’m thinking at least forty years,” he said, and she laughed.

  “That’s long term.”

  He nodded as he lowered his lips. “And I’m going to enjoy collecting,” he said, and then kissed her again.

  She had to admit, he was right. Their kiss was amazing.

  by SE Gilchrist

  Set in the world of the bestselling title Legend Beyond the Stars, an erotic novella about two warriors who have lost the ability to desire, and the human woman who is about to wake them up.

  Fran must have been crazy to leave her ordinary, safe life and volunteer as a colonist to terra-form a new earth. Now she is trapped in a prison cell on an alien planet a zillion miles from home and bound for a hideous death in notorious research chambers.

  Fish out of Water

  by Ros Baxter

  Janet Evanovich’s Stephanie Plum meets Splash in a sexy, smart-talking debut about a mermaid in a desert, a city under water, and the secret that no one is supposed to uncover.

  Dirtwater’s straight-talking Deputy Sheriff Rania Aqualina has a lot on her plate: a nicotine addiction that’s a serious liability for a mermaid, a soldier-of-fortune ex who’s hooked on her Mum’s brownies, a gorgeous, naked stranger in her shower, and a mysterious dead blonde with a fish tattoo on Main Street.

  Heading home to Aegira for a family wedding, Rania has a sinking feeling that’s got nothing to do with hydroporting seven miles under the sea and everything to do with the crazy situation. Now, if she can just steal a corpse, get a crazy Aegiran priest off her case, work out who the hell’s trying to kill her, and stop sleeping with the fishes, she might be able to unravel the mysteries. And maybe even save her own ass while she’s at it. Fish out of Water is Stephanie Plum meets Splash, and the first book in a trilogy about Aegira, an underwater kingdom based on the historical Norse legend of Aegir.

  Secret Reflection

  by Jennifer Brassel

  A modern gothic romance about skepticism, secrets, and seeing what’s in front of your eyes.

  Kelly Reid doesn’t believe in ghosts, even when one appears in front of her. She’s sure the man in her bedroom mirror is a hoax, all she has to do is prove it. But it’s hard to concentrate on hidden cameras and tiny microphones when he seems so real, so engaging, so sad.

  Accused of a heinous crime, John Tarrant has been trapped in the mirror for 140 years, neither living nor dead. His only chance at escape is convincing the skeptical woman in front of him that he’s real and desperately needs her help.

  Working together to solve a centuries-old crime, Kelly and John race to find the key to his release – and fear what will happen if they succeed. Will their unlikely relationship finally have a chance, or will John’s spirit vanish forever?
