THE GRUMPY BASSIST

Brand Kife, bassist for heavy metal band, Vicious, is known in the metal world as “the man who never smiles.” He has even less reason to smile when he learns that his band’s tour is going to be disrupted by beautiful filmmaker, Lexi Adams, who’s making a documentary about Vicious. Brand has secrets that Lexi can’t learn.

AND THE BEAUTY QUEEN

Former child beauty pageant winner, Lexi Adams resists her mother’s pressuring her to become a model and is instead determined to be a successful filmmaker. She’s thrilled to film a documentary on one of her favorite metal bands, but Brand Kife is making her work difficult. First by being uncooperative in interviews, then by distracting her with his sinful good looks and aura of mystery. When they give into temptation, Lexi wants to learn about Brand’s traumatic past, but first, she will have to trust him with her own.

However, when battles against the Evil One's horde accelerate, and her wolf turns out not to be a wolf, Sylvis discovers that she can't remain in her shell any longer. She must emerge from the shadows, embrace her growing powers, and confront her awakening heart, or risk her side losing a critical alliance in the wars to come.

METAL AND MISTLETOE by Brooklyn Ann

Hearts of Metal #4

Curtis Scrimm, who dropped out of the band Vicious to check into rehab is finally clean. All he wants is to spend Christmas alone. Thanks to a brochure he found back at the rehab clinic, he has a cabin booked at Yellowstone. But when he arrives at the gorgeous winter wonderland, his mission of solitude is thwarted when he encounters death metal vocalist, Dezra Hopkins in the cabin next door. They’d met in rehab and it was her brochure he’d found.

Dezra is at first irritated at Curt’s intruding on her perfect Christmas getaway. But since she’s looking to form a new band after leaving her old one in disgrace, she sees Curt as an opportunity. That is, if she can lure him to the dark side of death metal, and if she can fight her growing attraction to him.

When Curt rescues Dezra from a blizzard and heals her hypothermia, their chemistry sparks to a flaming inferno. But when the festive and sensual holiday interlude comes to an end, real-life challenges threaten to destroy the beautiful connection they’ve only begun to forge.

Her clairvoyant powers have become so intense that she lost her job and home. Death is the only way to make them stop. Opportunity presents itself when she comes across a sinfully handsome vampire ready to make a kill. Jayden begs for him to take her instead. A blissful death in his arms, or the visions ravaging her mind? She'd gladly take the vampire.

Razvan Nicolae is captivated and amused by the beautiful seeress who sacrifices herself for a stranger. Killing such a pleasing asset doesn’t interest him. If he could get her powers under control, she just might be the key to finding his missing twin.

Controlling her visions and working for a seductive vampire? Razvan’s offer is like a dream come true. But her dream turns into a nightmare when a mad vampire cult leader seeks to exploit Jayden’s powers to stop an ancient prophecy.

As Jayden finds herself at the center of a vampire war, she realizes that the biggest threat isn’t losing her life, it’s losing her heart.

Zareth Amotken has no idea how important Xochitl’s heavy metal band is to her. As an immortal sorcerer, he doesn’t care. He has one goal: to find the prophesied savior of his world. Her voice holds the power to bring back his world’s vanished sun.

Xochitl’s compassion urges her to help in any way she can. Yet learning the mysteries of her past causes conflict with her future in music. Her destiny in his world and her obligations to her band pull her in opposite directions. How can she long for one while the other is so dire?

As Zareth introduces her to his people and teaches her to control her powers, she aches for his enchanting kiss. Zareth tries to resist, for their passion will unleash serious consequences, both political and magical.

As the time to fulfill her destiny draws closer, she must choose between her heart, her duty, and her friends. The wrong choice could ruin everything.

Angelica Winthrop wants nothing more than to ruin her reputation to avoid marriage and be a gothic authoress like her idol, Mary Shelley. Unfortunately, all her schemes keep backfiring and the wedding noose is tightening. To find inspiration for her next story, she breaks into the reputably haunted home of Ian Ashton, Duke of Burnrath. But when she tumbles down the stairs, Angelica finds something far more dangerous than ghosts.

Ian is the Lord vampire of London and is currently at his wit’s end. Thanks to a vampire craze spawned by the publication of John Polidori’s The Vampyre, tongues are wagging and wagers are being made about his nocturnal proclivities. The solution to his problem tumbles into his lap in the form of the vivacious heiress.

The duke destroys Angelica’s plans by publicly proposing marriage to save his reputation. Sparks fly as the authoress attempts every impropriety to dissuade the vampire and he retaliates with his skills of seduction.

After a quirky courtship and a tender wedding night, their rocky marriage of convenience is played out before the scandalized eyes of the ton. If that weren’t enough, a vampire hunter and John Polidori himself are also watching…and plotting.

Hearts of Metal #1

When Kinley Black becomes a roadie for Vicious, beginning a foray into the unglamorous, male-dominated world of heavy metal, she won't escape with her pride or heart intact.

It's hard to be one of the guys…

Ever since Kinley Black's metal band broke up, bringing her back to only being a co-owner of a metal fan site, she's been dying to get back into the music industry. The opportunity arrives when her interview with Quinn Mayne, lead singer of her favorite band, Vicious, goes off the rails. If she can beat up a pervy roadie, she can have his job. Kinley has no problem with hard work or being one of the guys. But fighting her attraction to Quinn is a bigger challenge.

When he makes her feel like such a girl

Quinn is furious with his road manager for insisting they hire Kinley. Taking a beautiful woman on the road was like dangling meat above a pack of feral hounds. Despite his reluctance, he can't help being impressed by his new roadie's strength and determination any more than he can suppress his urge to protect her when a crewmember's hostility escalates. As Vicious's tour across the country progresses, Quinn's fury and frustration fall away, only to be replaced with a burning desire, with the promise of something deeper.
