We've got a full moon tonight and that means NEW RELEASES! Shake off the evening chill with a new read.
Skylar Donovan was raised to trust no one but herself and her parents.
Moreover, her father gave her all the tools she’d need to survive, both
in practical terms and as a martial arts instructor in his respected
studio. What he didn’t teach her was how to go on when his murder broke
her mother’s mind, leaving Sky alone for the first time in her life.
Gabriel
LaRouche, youngest of the Firestorm dragons, followed a tip to Alabama
in hopes of finding refugees from his people’s hidden home living among
the humans. Instead, he met his match in a pale-haired warrior woman
with broken eyes and a stay-away stare he couldn’t resist. His lifemate
had no idea who he was or that they were Fated to be together.
Despite
her better judgment, Skylar is drawn to Gabe’s dark intensity and
almost grating arrogance tempered with surprising sweetness. Something
about him calls to her passionate nature, matching her flame for flame.
Gabe is bound to Skylar, body, soul and dragon. Now he needs to
convince her to trust he’s strong enough to stand by her side as deadly
enemies gather to tear them apart.

The Wind Mage (Part One) The Chosen Kings by Gina Manis
Living in the mountains with just my Papa could be a lonely life, but it
is not. I have my two wolves friends, Klaus and Bjorn, who keep things
interesting. They followed me up this mountain when I was just a young
woman and have been with me ever since.
It has been almost five
years now, and things are starting to change. My name is Aria, and I'm a
woman now, ready to find love and start a family. I want someone to
hold me close and love me. I don't want to leave my home, but I know I
can't live this life of solitude much longer.
Bjorn and Klaus are
changing too. Klaus is my kind gentle wolf that has kept the loneliness
at bay. Even though he's a wolf, we share a deep love. We are constant
companions, and without his presence, I know I would be lost.
Bjorn
has started to become more aggressive and has even bitten me. He pushes
me in ways that are not acceptable, and I don't know what to do with
him. I am trying to show him that I am the master, but he is determined
to keep his alpha status.
When an old Mage appears to us one night,
everything changes. I find that Bjorn and Klaus are both men bound by a
spell to live as wolves. Somehow, I release Bjorn, and as a man, he is
more dominating than ever. His human name is Collin, and he is hard to
resist when he takes me into his arms and kisses me with such fire and
need, it leaves me shaking.
But there is still Klaus, and no matter
how my feelings may be changing for Collin, I know Klaus is my true soul
mate. He is the one I yearn for to become a man and hold me close in
his arms.
None of that really matters if I can't break the spell on
both their heads. I have just twenty-eight days to do so until the next
full moon. If I don't break it, they both will return to their wold
state and remain that way forever. The pain of never seeing Klaus or him
holding me is unbearable.
But to get to him, I must first grant Bjorn his one true heart's desire… Me.
Releasing May 19th.
