"Enjoying pain with your pleasure is something you either get, or you
don't. If you get it, then you don't really need it explained, because
you know how good it feels, and if you don't get it then no amount of
talking is going to convince you it makes sense."
But sometimes you have to explain the unexplainable, especially if the
love of your life needs to understand, or she'll leave you. Jason
Schuyler is one of Anita Blake's best friends and favorite werewolves,
with benefits. J.J. is his lady love, an old flame from childhood who
dances at one of the top ballet companies in New York. She's
accomplished, beautiful, and she's crazy about him, too. Neither of them
wants to be monogamous, so what could go wrong?
J.J. is enthusiastically bisexual, with an emphasis on the female side
of things. She plans to keep sleeping with women, because Jason can't
meet that need, just like she can't meet Jason's need for rough sex and
bondage. J.J. doesn't understand why Jason isn’t content to go elsewhere
for a need she can’t fulfil, so Jason asks Anita to help him explain.
Anita is having her own relationship growing pains with her only female
lover ever, Jade. Jason suggests that J.J. might be able to help Anita
with her girl problem, while she helps him with his kinky explanations.
With some encouragement from a few other lovers in Anita's life she
reluctantly agrees, and J. J. makes plans to fly into town for an
experience that none of them will ever forget.
A top secret team of wolf shifters, the Alpha Pack are former Navy SEALS
that use their Psy powers to take on the world’s greatest predators.
But while each member is loyal to the pack, it can be hard to deny the
call of desire.
Still tormented by his recent captivity, Alpha Pack commander Nick
Westfall isn’t sure he’s fit to lead — especially when he meets the one
woman he can’t claim without reliving the torture he endured at the
hands of a rogue vampire.
Vampire princess Calla Shaw has seen her own share of heartbreak, but
she can tell that the wild attraction she and Nick feel for each other
could turn into something significant — if only he’d let it. But Calla
isn’t about to give up on her mate without a fight.
Time is running out, not only for Nick to claim his mate, but for Calla
and her coven. A vampire war is on the horizon, one the Alpha Pack can’t
hope to win if their leader can’t pull himself back from the abyss.

its total annihilation.

half-werewolf, half-Aedh Risa Jones is in more danger than ever—and one
misstep could prove ruinous. It's only a matter of time before Madeleine

In New York Times bestselling author Karen Robards’s latest
heart-pounding romantic suspense novel, a woman must track down her
husband’s murderer — or risk being the next victim of a vicious killer.
When Riley Cowan finds her estranged husband Jeff dead in his palatial
home, she’s sure it’s no coincidence. The police rule it a suicide, but
Riley thinks someone’s out for blood — specifically someone Jeff’s
father ripped off in one of the biggest financial fraud cases of all
time. She suspects that someone is trying to send a message to Jeff’s
father: Tell me where the money is, or everyone you care about will die.
Riley’s in-laws might be billionaires, but she’s afraid that not even
their dirty money can protect her from an irate investor who will stop
at nothing to get his hands on his misappropriated cash. Enter Finn
Bradley, Philly-based FBI agent and Riley’s love interest from way back
when. Finn agrees to help Riley, and the two reignite sparks they both
thought were extinguished long ago. But can they discover the killer’s
identity in time, before he resurfaces — and strikes again?
In Laura Childs’s New York Times bestselling mystery series, Suzanne,
Petra, and Toni — co-owners of the Cackleberry Club Café — are equally
good at serving up breakfast and serving up justice. This time they turn
up the heat on a deadly firebug.
As Suzanne is getting her hair colored at Root 66, she’s stunned to
witness the County Services office next door suddenly go up in flames.
Concerned neighbors throng the streets, and the fire department does
their best. Unfortunately, their best isn’t enough to save longtime
civil service worker — and friend to the Cackleberry Club — Hannah
Venable.
Soon enough, it’s discovered that an accelerant was used to fan the
flames. Someone set the fire on purpose — was Hannah the intended
victim? Suzanne, Petra, and Toni vow to smoke out the culprit.
Unfortunately, the list of suspects is as varied as the Cackleberry
Club’s menu. When Suzanne finds a possible connection between the fire
and the nearby Prairie Star Casino, she comes to realize that the
arsonist wanted something very big and bad kept secret. And if the
ladies aren’t careful, they may be the ones gambling with their lives.
