Playing
for Keeps (Neighbor From Hell #1) by R.L.
Mathewson
Done
with being the world's biggest pushover, Haley decides that things are going to
change starting with the aggravating neighbor who has too much charm and not
enough restraint. What she didn't expect was to sucked into his world, but
Haley has a game plan and she won't let herself forget just what the bad boy
next door is capable of.
The
last thing Jason expected was for his little shy neighbor to go Rambo on him
over some ruined flowers. After he decides to take her under his wing he can't
help but that notice that she fits very nicely in his life. Now the only left
is to convince her that this is anything but a game.
Perfection (Neighbor From Hell #2) by R.L.
Mathewson
Zoe
is used to taking care of herself and has long ago accepted that if anything
bad was going to happen, it was going to happen to her. So when she loses her
job over something most bosses would probably be happy with and her life starts
going down hill from there she doesn't expect it to get any better. She
certainly didn't expect any help from the loud jerk next door, but then again
she has nothing to lose so puts her trust in him and hopes for the best. What
she didn't expect was the once in a lifetime opportunity that he offers her
through an arrangement where they both benefit and no one is supposed to get
hurt, but she should have known better because her luck has never been that
good.

Dark Star by Bethany Frenette {ebook}
Audrey Whitticomb has nothing to fear. Her mother is the
superhero Morning Star, the most deadly crime-fighter in the Twin Cities, so
it's hard for Audrey not to feel safe. That is, until she's lured into the
sweet night air by something human and not human--something with talons and
teeth, and a wide, scarlet smile.
Now Audrey knows the truth: her mom doesn't fight crime at night. She fights Harrowers--livid, merciless beings who were trapped Beneath eons ago. Yet some have managed to escape. And they want Audrey dead, just because of who she is: one of the Kin.
To survive, Audrey will need to sharpen the powers she has always had. When she gets close to someone, dark corners of the person's memories become her own, and she sometimes even glimpses the future. If Audrey could only get close to Patrick Tigue, a powerful Harrower masquerading as human, she could use her Knowing to discover the Harrowers' next move. But Leon, her mother's bossy, infuriatingly attractive sidekick, has other ideas. Lately, he won't let Audrey out of his sight.
When an unthinkable betrayal puts Minneapolis in terrible danger, Audrey discovers a wild, untamed power within herself. It may be the key to saving her herself, her family, and her city. Or it may be the force that destroys everything--and everyone--she loves.

Pleasures by Jami Alden {ebook}
Wendy Carmichael's career as a high-powered attorney leaves
her little time for a love - or sex - life. She has a broken engagement to
prove it. With everything she's worked for on the line, she can't afford
to be distracted -especially not by Drew Walker. The first time she laid eyes
on the brash, cocky millionaire five years ago Wendy knew that giving into the
chemistry sparking between them could only lead to trouble. But when they're
thrown together at a party in paradise, his wicked smile and rock hard body
draw her like a moth to a flame. Convincing herself one night of
indulgence can't hurt, Wendy decides to find out once and for all if being with
Drew is as hot as she's always imagined.
But Drew isn't satisfied with just one night, and neither is Wendy.
When Drew proposes a no holds barred, no strings attached affair that will end when he moves across the country, Wendy can't say no. Yet as the nights pass, each hotter than the last, Wendy discovers that what she thought was casual is anything but, and has potential to be so much more. Now she fears that when cocky, too sexy for his own good Drew walks out of her life, she'll be saying goodbye to the man of her dreams.

Time
Untime (Dark-Hunter #17) by Sherrilyn
Kenyon
The Mayans aren’t the only ones with a 2012
prophecy…
Long before recorded history, there was a Keetoowah warrior so feared that everyone trembled before his wrath. Only a brutal betrayal by the one closest to him could defeat him. But not even death was the end of a man so strong.
The Time Untime approaches…
Kateri Avani has been plagued her entire life with dreams she doesn’t understand. Images of places she’s never been and of a man she’s never seen. Her quest for answers has driven her to Las Vegas where she hopes to finally silence the demons in her mind.
What she never anticipates is coming face to face with the warrior who has haunted her her entire life. One who belongs to a world the scientist in her refuses to believe is real.
Ren Waya came back from the dead to keep the prophecy he began from coming true and ending the world. For thousands of years, he has fought the same evil that once possessed him. But now that evil has found the one person he can’t fight. The one person who, against his will, holds the most sacred part of him.

Ordained (The Immortal Archives #1) by Devon
Ashley
Normally, the school creates the hunters - not the monsters.
Abby Sorrensten likes to play rough. Ripping the horns off the foreheads of demons, manipulating lightning and setting things on fire with the flick of your wrist can give you a serious rush. So she probably wasn’t the best choice for the Order’s experimental training program. Thirteen years of isolation, lack of affection and a bruised and broken body from horrendous training sessions creates more than just an exceptional fighter. It creates an evil within - an evil responsible for several deaths the night she left.
Two hundred years later Abby resurfaces as the very thing the Order trained her to kill: a vampire. A mythical demon has set his sights on the school and only the ordained hunter has the powers to face it. Unbeknownst to the Order, Abby’s their precious ordained one and their only chance for survival. As much as she would love to leave them hanging, she’s not willing to risk the life of Emily, a fellow friend and hunter also fed up with the organization.

But
for Abby, locking herself away in a fortress with angry descendents of those
she killed causes suspicions and tensions to run high. Abby must learn the
demon’s weaknesses for battle before the Order learns hers.
