God really should have reconsidered making werewolves. Because werewolves like Lyssa could easily rip to pieces, limb from limb, cheating assholes like Byron, her live-in boyfriend. That, or Lyssa needs to have better taste in men...and stay faraway from those with wandering eyes. Drunk as a wolf, she stumbles to her best friend's house to sleep off her whiskey-induced haze, and wakes to...cuffs? Caleb sees his chance and finally seizes it. His buddies on the force have ribbed him but good for buying silver-plated handcuffs. But Caleb had a perfectly logical reason for purchasing them; he had something important to tell Lyssa, and being that she could put a serious hurtin' on him, he wasn't going to take any chances. So, with a bound werewolf, the woman he's yearned for since they were teens, in his bed, will Caleb find the courage to tell Lyssa that she is his?

Arria moves through life, a fierce predator slithering amongst the prey. Or is she? Even the fiercest hunter can become the hunted. The pursued. The captured. The killed. But what if she wants to be snared? This short story is one of contrasts, the differences between predator and prey, hints of domination & submission and want & need between lovers. There's a certain glory in the differences in their colors, but their cultural contrasts relate to their animal counterparts and not those that may appear in a contemporary work, addressing current stereotypes. Arria is a black mamba, one of the deadliest, yet vulnerable, snakes known to man, while Liv is a goshawk, a natural predator of snakes. They could--should--kill one another yet can't fight the attraction, or the risk associated with becoming close. Their sex is primal, fierce, and loving, constantly changing with the ebb and flow of their control over each other.

Cilla lost a scale to the big bad Harpy, and without it she can't turn into a dragon. She's stuck in human form. Six years, the Harpy said. Six years as a Customer Service Rep for Blue Hedgehog Press, and then she’d be free. But instead of having her scale returned as promised, Cilla is handed over to Djimon, a vampire. She has to spend one day with him, twenty-four hours of sexual servitude, and then she’ll finally be free. Except…what if she doesn’t want to leave?

What’s a gal to do when a dog bite isn’t a dog bite and her boss makes her want to howl at the moon? When her ex dumps her, the only thing Brenna Davis can think to do is drown her sorrows in a margarita—or ten. So she does, and all that got her was a serious headache and some weird bite on her arm. For some reason, she isn’t convinced it came from a dog… Alpha of the Swan Mountain werewolf pack, Declan Ross, has two things on his to-do list: 1. Kill the damned rogue wolf in his territory. 2. Find the damned rogue’s newest victim before it chews its way through half the mountain. Of course, when he finally finds the tempting, deliciously curved, blue-eyed woman he adds a third item to his list: keep Brenna Davis all to himself…forever.

Zoe got fired, bounced a check, came up short on rent, and sold her blood. All in one week. How’d she sell her blood? It sure as heck wasn’t a plasma center.

Arik can put his fangs anywhere as far as she’s concerned. Only drawback? One of the vamps Arik sired is pissy and wants to play with Zoe. Until she’s dead. Can Arik find her before his bloodchild decides he’s done playing with his food and is ready to take a hunk out of her? *This book was previously published as part of the "Taming the Vampire" boxed set and has not been altered in any way.*
