Black Gold (Takhini Wolves, #1)
by
Vivian Arend
Goodreads




3.84 avg rating — 85 ratings
Their wolves are howling at the moon. Their human halves are on different planets.
Lone wolf Shaun Stevens’s automatic response to the words “happily ever after”? Kill me now. Yet with all his friends settling down he’s begun to think there may actually be something to this love-and-roses crap.
One
thing’s for sure: his dream mate will have to out-cuss, out-spit and
out-hike him. So he never expected the one to push his forever button
would be a blue-blooded Southern debutante with a voice as dark and
velvety as her skin.
When Gemmita Jacobs steps off the plane in
Whitehorse, Yukon, it’s about more than her caribou research project.
It’s her declaration of independence from an overprotected upbringing.
Except there’s something in the air she can’t quite define—something
that unexpectedly rouses her mating instincts.
Moments after
their eyes lock, the deed is done—and done thoroughly. When the
pheromone dust settles, though, all the reasons they don’t belong
together become painfully clear.
It’s enough to make a wolf learn a whole new set of cuss words…
Warning:
Two strong wolves getting exactly what they deserve. Includes
wilderness nookie, shifters being naughty in public places, the Midnight
Sun as a canopy for seduction and grizzly shifters on the loose. Oh,
and don’t forget the sarcasm.

Riley Ramirez knew that moving to New York would change her life.

sexual adventure.
From their earliest days, Cade and
Trevor have shared everything, including women. Yet it only takes one
night with Riley to know she is their forever lady. Convincing her that
this is more than a temporary fling, though, will take every tool in

someone is targeting their fragile relationship. Someone who’s taking
deadly aim at Riley. Suddenly their struggle to keep their forever woman
is a fight to keep her alive…

Sweet Surrender
by
Nikki Winter
Goodreads




3.60 avg rating — 10 ratings
Just can’t get enough…
For Dane Halima, it didn’t matter how many times his woman told him
that she wasn’t his woman. The fact of the matter was, she was his
woman. He wouldn’t let anything stand in the way of that, not even her.
Brianna Grayson, no matter how crazy, was it for him. Now all he had to
do was convince her…
Just can’t get away…
Why couldn’t the
man take no for an answer? And why couldn’t she hold firm to that?
Brianna had been called a lot of things in her life, most of them by her
younger sister, but her greatest stamp was that of being stubborn. So
how was it that Dane kept slipping past all her defenses? She avoided
relationships like sinners avoided church on Sunday, but he’d managed to
slide right on in and stay there. What’s a girl to do when she has a
sexy sheriff after her who just won’t give up? Only one thought kept
coming to mind…surrender.

Designing
footwear is Jenny Prillaman's life, so getting the plum assignment to
create a socialite's wedding shoes is a dream come true. Dealing with
the heiress is another story. So is staying away from her dreamy new
boss, a man too hot to deny for long, despite Jenny's best intentions of
keeping her business away from his pleasure. Making Bellagio, Inc. an
international success is executive Marc Waterson's career ambition. But
his life's desire is to find the right woman and settle down. Too bad
Jenny would rather follow in his corporate footsteps than try on the
glass slippers of a company wife. At least Marc's got one thing going
for him — the way to a woman's heart is through a really great pair of
shoes!
Underfoot:
Bellagio, Inc. public
relations genius Trina Roberts had been a bad, bad girl when she'd gone
to bed with a recently jilted groom and wound up pregnant. She knew
Walker Gordon wasn't looking for forever — at least not with her. So
when he took a job overseas, she sort of neglected to tell him
about the baby on the way. Well, now he's back...and he's just figured
out the truth. Walker had been reeling from a very public breakup when
Trina had offered solace he couldn't deny. He'd never expected the
result would make him somebody's daddy! Trina claimed not to need
anything from him, but he was determined that his child have a father;
he just didn't know if it should be him. Because a father's
shoes...well, those he wasn't sure he could fill.

Even on a tropical getaway, a girl's got to watch out for the sharks...

working for Bellagio, Inc.'s grande dame, Lillian Bellagio. But things
are looking up for Amelia. She's just been given the assignment of
accompanying Ms. Bellagio to her estate in the Keys. Trading pumps for
flip-flops and a cell phone for a conch shell—could be worse, right?
Especially when life on the island includes her very own mystery man—one
Jack "The Shark" O'Connell, dashing venture capitalist. He dares Amelia
to use this time to do something wild: drink a hurricane, go
skinny-dipping...have an affair with a dangerously attractive man. Now
Amelia will have to decide whether to step into that glass slipper.
