for nerdy women, beefy men and immaculate software solutions Elora always guessed she would end up as a crazy cat lady. Who could have known that the cat in question was a huge Lion man? Hyperfocus and the urge to prove everybody who ever doubted her wrong made Elora work her butt off to become senior developer at BetaworthIT, one of the UK's top software agencies. Her boss adores her for her work ethic and dedication, and Elora has one thing on her mind: climbing the corporate ladder straight to the top. When she is entrusted with the most important project of her career, the promotion she dreams of is suddenly within reach. The only thing standing in her way is impressing her important client. That, and being stuck in her office day after day with her lion-human hybrid colleague. Ben Foster is hot and funny, and volunteers to take over the phone calls she hates so much—he’s practically perfect in every way. Ex-cop Ben likes his job at Betaworth just fine, one of the perks being his colleague Elora. She is kind, smart and beautiful, and his Lion pines for her. What would a woman like her want with him though? As a code monkey in his mid-thirties living alone with two cats, he isn’t exactly prime marriage material. When they are forced to work closely together, their professional relationship suddenly takes a romantic turn. Can Ben and Elora overcome their doubts and fears, and find happiness where they never thought to look—right in front of them?

When Kim Harris decides to volunteer for the Mate Index, it’s all about going big or go home. As a statuesque woman with a full figure, she wants a massive male—or better yet, males—who are capable of making all her dreams come true. With no immediate career prospects on the horizon and a savings rapidly dwindling, it seems like that the perfect time to take the jump—straight into the arms of two giant Vori, elite palace guards who will bind her to them with more than an “I do.”When she gets a position as an instructor for the Matriarch’s offspring, it seems as if all of her dreams are finally about to come true. She has obtained a respected position and is discovering love with her mates, who are among the first among the elite guards to be granted access to the program. It is like a dream but one that becomes slowly tainted as she begins to notice that there is something awry at the palace. Is it just youthful hijinks or something more sinister? And when danger threatens can it be that someone desperately wants her out of the way?If so, they will have to through Rykaal and Sijhord first! Larger than most male Vori, they have been permitted to have what always seemed untenable—a mate of their own—and they will shake the foundations of the palace itself before they allow her to come to harm. Nothing less can be accepted when, in all ways, they are bound.

ARIA I am alone. Like I have always been. Other people look at me, see my face and think I have everything. But I have even less than the pauper in the street. I am doused in opulence, and I have a name; but none of those things are mine. I am at the mercy of those who own my life. IGOR A hundred years of banishment to this realm was the price I paid. A realm of humans, where I am the monster of every youngling’s nightmare and a cautionary tale for naughty children. Am I changed enough to return to my realm? The answer stares at me, as clear as the moon above. No. A chance meeting leaves Aria in the hands of the mysterious monster that haunts her lands. Will life finally give them the peace they both crave, or will their pasts catch up with them and ruin everything?
