Primal Law (Alpha Pack#1) by J.D. Tyler {Kindle}
Founded by a team of former Navy SEALS, the
Alpha Pack is a top-secret team of wolf shifters with Psy powers tasked with
eliminating the most dangerous predators in the world. But the gift of their
abilities comes at a price… After a massacre decimates half his team and leaves him crippled, Jaxon Law must relearn how to fight—and must defeat the anger and guilt threatening to overwhelm him. But when he rescues a beautiful woman who reawakens his primal instincts, Jax is unprepared for the dangers that lie ahead.
On the run from her employer, brilliant lab assistant Kira Locke escapes with disturbing evidence that leads the Alpha Pack team on a hunt for someone targeting human civilians with Psy abilities. And as Jax and Kira circle both the killer and each other, Jax will have to decide if the deep connection he feels with Kira is worth breaking the ultimate shifter rule—because bonding with Kira means putting his abilities at risk, and they might be the only tool he has to keep his mate alive…
Waiting for You (Landry #3) by Abigail Strom {Kindle}
For Jake Landry, Erin Shaw was always
off-limits—too young, too innocent, and his kid sister’s best friend. Home now
after a decade of military service, Jake finds Erin all grown up…but she’s
still off-limits. War has left him with scars invisible to anyone but him, and
a relationship is the last thing he’s looking for.
As a teenager, Erin had a hopeless crush on her friend’s big brother. Now that she’s an adult, she thinks she’s put all that behind her. But when she sees Jake again, she discovers her old feelings are alive and well...and blossoming into something new.
Jake doesn’t believe in happily-ever-after. And since he can’t give Erin what she deserves, he tries to stay away from her. But when the attraction between them turns explosive, his resistance starts to crumble. Will Erin find a way past Jake’s armor all the way to his heart?

Squeeze Play (Richmond Rogues #) by Kate Angell {Kindle}
The first in a steamy new series of romances
featuring a hunky baseball team and the sirens who challenge the players in the
game of love.
Risk Kincaid and Jacy Grayson have known each other since high school, when, after seeing her crying because her prom date dumped her, Risk volunteered to be her rebound guy. Whenever she broke up with someone, she could call him, and wherever he was, he'd show up for a few days to "console" her.
Years later, Risk, now a team captain of a World Series-winning baseball team, returns to their hometown of Frostproof, Florida, for a benefit. He has seen eccentric Jacy every six months or so for years, and he now plans on asking her to marry him. Jacy has never had anyone in her bed but Risk, her true love.

Three years later, the gutsy blonde is back in Richmond to reclaim handsome
Rogues pitcher Brek Stryker before he makes another trip down the aisle. From
dressing as a giant baseball to pummeling the other team’s mouthy mascot, this
former fiancée is pulling out all the stops. Trouble is, her ball player

Stryke hasn’t forgiven the woman who left him on their wedding day, but he can’t ignore the chemistry that sizzles every time he and Taylor meet.

Bonds of Fenris by S.J. Bell
Talia Thornwood's life ended one year ago, when
she became a werewolf. She survived the attack, and the horrifying
transformation a month later, but the life she has now is barely worth living.
She lurks about in a filthy, run-down house, with too many werewolves crammed
into too small a space. Every day is a struggle against the stress of human
contact, the romantic prodding of her obnoxious packmate Pierce, and the
gnawing hunger for flesh in her soul.
She's all but resigned herself to a dreary existence on the margins of society when she meets Corwin. Corwin is a werewolf like none other. He walks among humans as if it was nothing, and can keep his wolf under control even when the moon is full. Talia's mind is suddenly opened to the possibilities before her, and the realization of how little she really knows about lycanthropy.
Corwin claims that he can teach her how to cope as he does, even how to transcend her affliction. But it will not be easy. It is a hard education that requires her to question everything her pack taught her, and confront exactly what she has become. And, more amazingly, what she never stopped being.

Bewitching (Kendra
Chronicles #1) by Alex Flinn
Bewitching can be a beast. . . .
Once, I put a curse on a beastly and arrogant high school boy. That one turned out all right. Others didn’t.
I go to a new school now—one where no one knows that I should have graduated long ago. I’m not still here because I’m stupid; I just don’t age.
You see, I’m immortal. And I pretty much know everything after hundreds of years—except for when to take my powers and butt out.
I want to help, but things just go awry in ways I could never predict. Like when I tried to free some children from a gingerbread house and ended up being hanged. After I came back from the dead (immortal, remember?), I tried to play matchmaker for a French prince and ended up banished from France forever. And that little mermaid I found in the Titanic lifeboat? I don’t even want to think about it.

Now a girl named Emma needs me. I probably
shouldn’t get involved, but her gorgeous stepsister is conniving to the core. I
think I have just the thing to fix that girl—and it isn’t an enchanted pumpkin.
Although you never know what will happen when I start . . . bewitching.

Chasing Magic (Downside Ghosts #5) by Stacia Kane
A DEADLY HIGH
Magic-wielding Churchwitch and secret addict Chess Putnam knows better than anyone just how high a price people are willing to pay for a chemical rush. But when someone with money to burn and a penchant for black magic starts tampering with Downside’s drug supply, Chess realizes that the unlucky customers are paying with their souls—and taking the innocent with them, as the magic-infused speed compels them to kill in the most gruesome ways possible.
As if the streets weren’t scary enough, the looming war between the two men in her life explodes, taking even more casualties and putting Chess squarely in the middle. Downside could become a literal ghost town if Chess doesn’t find a way to stop both the war and the dark wave of death-magic, and the only way to do that is to use both her addiction and her power to enter the spell and chase the magic all the way back to its malevolent source. Too bad that doing so will probably kill Chess—if the war doesn’t first destroy the man who’s become her reason for living.
