Vengeful Gods
Elliott Rose
In this story, there are three beasts and I am their blood debt owed.
The Anguis, a secret society of power-hungry individuals, have long controlled Port Macabre from their seat at Noire House. A place where the wealthy rub shoulders and chase hedonistic pleasures. However, behind the mansion’s facade lies a poisonous, hidden underworld.
With my father now gone, I am the sole heir to Noire House. They wanted his head, instead, these ruthless men settled for taking me.
I thought I had successfully escaped the curse of my bloodline, but I’ve been dragged back into the devious, twisted world of the Anguis. To protect the ones I love, I must allow these men to parade me around and claim me as theirs.
Locked away in their remote, forest-bound fortress, I am nothing more than a possession to control. To them, my life–and future–represents payment in kind and vengeance they’ve been denied.
In the world of the Anguis, death is the only way out, and these men are handsome grim reapers dressed in fine suits.
But as their heated looks and rough, blood-stained hands become more alluring each day, giving in to their games becomes a temptation I can’t avoid. Lines are blurred and longing spills over as I quickly find myself craving their darkness.
I can’t succumb to three beautiful monsters… Can I?

Kemono Jihen, Vol. 1
Sho Aimoto
Inugami is a Tokyo detective who specializes in the occult. One day, answering a call to a remote village leads him to Dorotabo: a peculiar boy nicknamed after a yokai that haunts muddy rice paddies. The boy has no parents and is somewhat unnerving, emitting a foul odor that draws the ire of those around him. Inugami, however, quickly realizes that there's something more monstrous about Dorotabo than just his nickname--a fact proven when the two of them investigate an inhuman creature attacking local livestock. Perhaps Inugami can take this mistreated boy under his wing and train him to face the secret, supernatural beasts hidden in the world...using the eerie powers of his own body.

They are parasites, alien creatures who must invade-and take control of-a human host to survive. And once they have infected their victims, they can assume any deadly form they choose: monsters with giant teeth, winged demons, creatures with blades for hands. But most have chosen to conceal their lethal purpose behind ordinary human faces. So no one knows their secret-except an ordinary high school student. Shin is battling for control of his own body against an alien parasite, but can he find a way to warn humanity of the horrors to come?

Out in the Cold (Blue Collar Hearts, #0.5)
Kiki Clark
Being rescued by a hot lumberjack after catching his fiancé cheating was the only good thing to happen to Beau for quite some time.
Getting stuck in the man’s cabin for the weekend? There were definitely worse ways to pass a few days.
Falling for him when the guy made it clear he didn’t do relationships? Well, Beau just wouldn’t do that… probably.
Out in the Cold is a 25k word novella with a 39-year-old furniture maker who is done with disappointing relationships, a 25-year-old accountant with terrible taste in fiancés but great taste in sexy underwear, a remote cabin in the woods during a snowstorm, and a rescue dog with more sense than his owner.

I can’t lie: getting a bottle of milk, some snuggles after a warm bathie, and a Daddy who balances my checkbook sounds like a hellavu good time!
