Catnipped

Charlie Ledbetter has a big problem. She doesn't like cats.

In fact she's allergic to them.

And now she is one...Sort of.

Caught in the middle of a viscous argument between two men at the pet store where she shops for her dog, Pinky, Charlie doesn’t just end up nipped in the fight when it’s over -- she ends up having a horrible allergic reaction. Much sneezing, wheezing and gulping of Benadryl like it’s tequila ensues.

But that’s not even the half of it…

When one of the two men involved in the scuffle, Quinn Piljor, comes to apologize, he brings his brother Luke along. Tall, blond, sexy, off the chain hot, Luke. A man Charlie’s immediately attracted to. The brothers explain her little allergy problem can be solved with a ritual that takes place upon the full moon -- a sex ritual.

Crazy that, huh?

Charlie finds out what the Piljor brothers say really is true. Her only shot at stopping her violent allergic reaction to her new body’s chemistry involves having sex with Quinn. But what does a girl do when the man she really wants to be with isn’t the man she has to be with?

The Ex-Files, Book 3:
Kinky Katy

Katy Jennings is calm, cool and collected. She’s a dedicated counselor who works with obsessive compulsive patients, teaching techniques like the “thinking spot” and filling up your “self-esteem account.” Her life is full and her friends and fellow divorcees give Katy a reason to get up in the morning. They are the Ex-Files—Maddie, Maxie and Victoria.

They’re all Katy has now that her ex-husband Garret is remarrying. Katy’s well-ordered world begins to fall apart as she watches each of her friends find love and happiness. Her sedate take on life becomes more and more frustrating as her anger and regret over Garret’s remarriage looms on the horizon.

But Katy is going to get one more chance to examine her life with her ex, Garrett, and it doesn’t happen here in two-thousand-four. Nope, she’s going back to nineteen-eighty-three via the help of a tough talking, wise cracking fairy godmother! When Katy is given the chance to go back to nineteen-eighty-three, she makes some discoveries, including the body she thought she’d never see again and a bed she didn’t use nearly enough!

But this isn’t about a walk down memory lane; this is about deciding if Katy wants to go back to the future fighting for her man, or if she should remain in the “thinking spot” she’s so fond of where order is a way of life and fighting of any kind isn’t allowed. Big hair, spandex and Madonna are all part of the deal when Katy gets Kinky in The Ex-Files: Kinky Katy!

Halloween Bash
Confessions of a Wannabe Witch

Having trouble with your Abra Cadabra? Need a little zing to make your magic wand sing? Are you a vampire who hopes to overcome your fear of blood? A fairy who can't fly without the aid of a stewardess and piloted plane?

Then Castoffsphere is the place to help you with all of your witchcraft ills and it's where you'll find Felicity Speillman, wannabe witch.

Think of the place Harry Potter went to learn a little sorcery, filled with bumbling misfits. Felicity was sent to Castoffsphere by her parents in a last ditch effort to hone her sorely lacking witch skills. Felicity needs to get a big fat A if she hopes to obtain the coveted broom she needs to complete her schooling. However, dyslexia and a spell gone awry bring with it their own bag of magic tricks.

Christian is a genie and he's been sucked out of his cushy bottle in L.A. by the very confused Felicity. He looks like Yul Brynner, smells like heaven and he claims Felicity is his wife.

Alrighty then. Who is Felicity to argue with a man who may quite possibly hold the key to her magic troubles and looks like her favorite dead movie star? Felicity and Christian strike up a deal rivaling David Copperfield, but as she grows more attached to her newly acquired magic man, someone shows up and spoils all the fun—and she wants Christian back and she'll stop at nothing to get him.

Go figure, huh?

Blunder Woman

Deep in the heart of the city a malevolent force lurks, nurturing its lustful yearning for one man with but one desire -- to make him hers forever...

And only one woman alone can save him.

Okay, so maybe not alone-alone.

After being approached by the OOMPH agency, a place that harbors a dying breed of comic book heros, Kennedy Smith sheds her boring mailroom job for a more exciting one that includes some artificial powers and a battle for justice. The powers that be need Kennedy's help in restoring their credibility and besides, they think she looks pretty sporting in the really tiny scrap of a costume they've created for her to fit their new image.

However, her drool worthy instructor, Captain Daring, the guy who's supposed to teach her how to use her new powers, doesn't much like Kennedy's interference at OOMPH. He thinks she's more blunder than thunder and it really tweaks him that Kennedy acquired her powers via artificial means and not by birthright.

Captain Daring is, after all, the real deal.

But that doesn't keep him from wanting his sexy new student.

Kennedy's hellbent on proving not only to Captain Daring but to herself that she can get control of this hero gig and when his life lies solely in her hands, she'll have to use every last resource to keep him alive. Will the wild passion that burns between them be enough to save the world from a super hero gone amok?

For in the heart of the city, evil lurks and it not only wishes Captain Daring dead, but Kennedy Smith too...

All Wrapped Up:
Slave School Dropout

Nyla is a cat. So is Lucas. Nyla is an Egyptian descendant of Bast. Lucas isn’t.

In fact, he’s so far off the scale of high falutin’ lineages, he’s precariously tipped them. That’s because he’s a tomcat.

Nyla and Lucas have been friends for over a year since they met at a shifters’ meet and greet. Until one day, Nyla smells what Lucas has smelled all along. Her lifemate.

What does any good pair of lifemates do when they have to seal the deal? A little bump and grind, but who knew the bump and grind meant floggers and spankings and a host of kinky stuff Nyla had no clue Lucas liked.

Nyla is vanilla. Lucas is not. Lucas is a Dominant who enjoys just a smidge of rocky road with his bedroom pleasures.

Nyla never considered herself submissive. No one is the boss of her. However, these lifemates are about to embark on a journey that will take them both to places they’d never considered.

Oh, and it never hurts to mention that Nyla’s family is a snobbish, upper crust bunch of shifters who will probably want nothing more than to see to it that Lucas and Nyla’s newly acquired lifemate status is revoked by the lifemate council.

It’s High Society meets the ASPCA with a decided twist…

Paranormal Mates Society:
Chunkybuttfunky

Cadence Cranston needs a date.

Not just any date, but a date that won't mind her penchant for blood on the rocks and bat wings. Oh, and fangs... She has awesome fangs.

So Cadence, nighttime DJ and full figured vampire, decides to give online dating a try, but www.paranormalmatessociety.com isn't just any old online date site. It's strictly for the shifting community which is copacetic with Cadence. So she puts up a profile and a picture of herself and jumps into the dating pool, feet first to find that she's more bored than she was to begin with. Sticking to her own kind of shifter turns out to be kinda droll.

Who said she can't date a demon or a god, for that matter?

Or even a werewolf?

Browsing what the site has to offer in the way of "other" shifters, Cadence comes across a profile of a werewolf who is to die for. Really, he's that cute. The cute werewolf is Collin Grayson and he specifically states that he only wants to date other werewolves in his online profile.

But he's soooo delish...

So how hard can it be to pretend you're a werewolf?
