Damaged Goods by Lauren Gallagher {ebook}
Jocelyn Rhodes is a single mother with a demanding career and a
long-neglected libido. Frustrated with the dating scene and way overdue for
some satisfying sex, she takes a friend’s advice and hires Sabian, a
deliciously sexy escort. He’s well worth the money, and the sheets haven’t even
cooled off before she’s ready to call him again.
The more time she spends with him, the more she realizes she and Sabian have more in common than she thought. She’s a single mom, he’s a prostitute, and when it comes to dating, they’re both damaged goods. To most potential mates, Jocelyn and Sabian are in a category akin to dented soup cans, but if the two of them can look past each other’s respective dents, they just might find something they’ve both been missing.
But even if they do find that something, how on earth can she make a relationship work with a man who sleeps with other women for a living?

for Love by Annie Nicholas
After almost dying of
starvation to remain faithful to a mortal lover, succubus Pia Blyton now

When

ask her vampire lover to step in before her energy becomes dangerously low. In
return he demands a favor and Pia finds herself in the hotel suite of the
mysterious Valerio Hunan, who seduces her with a devastating kiss. Too late Pia
learns he's an incubus who wants to lure her into marriage—a marriage without
love.
As an incubus used to bedding a variety of succubi, Val doesn't understand Pia's yearning for love. He needs a succubus wife to provide him with a steady source of energy. But he wants Pia for the passion and renewed interest in life she makes him feel. Can Pia convince Val that sex isn't just for survival and love is for more than the weak?
