Lara Boucher will do whatever it takes to get that coveted promotion to detective. She knows that something strange was happening at the incredibly handsome Jack's party. Working that out will have to take a back seat to discover why so many college girls have gone missing. But the last thing she expects when she goes undercover at the so-called 'spa' is to run into Jack again — or to feel such a strong attraction. The last thing Jack wants is to become the kind of man his father was. But that's just what's required if he's going to bring down this latest ring of Malcontents. Drawing on his legendary Casanova lineage, Jack works his way into the group. But will he be able to show Lara the man he really is without jeopardizing their mission? And can Lara ever trust a man with so many secrets?

Roman Draganesti is charming, handsome, rich… he's also a vampire. But this vampire just lost one of his fangs sinking his teeth into something he shouldn't have. Now he has one night to find a dentist before his natural healing abilities close the wound, leaving him a lop-sided eater for all eternity.

Things aren't going well for Shanna Whelan, either. After witnessing a gruesome murder, she's next on the mob's hit list. And her career as a dentist appears to be on a downward spiral because she's afraid of blood. When Roman rescues her from an assassination attempt, she wonders if she's found the one man who can keep her alive. Though the attraction between them is immediate and hot, can Shanna conquer her fear of blood to fix Roman's fang? And if she does, what will prevent Roman from using his fangs on her…?

If it was still beating. Angus MacKay has been undead for almost five hundred years and it's not often something, or someone, surprises him. Until Emma Wallace. The sight of this luscious agent from the CIA's elite Stake-Out team was enough to stop Angus in his tracks. But then he discovers that she's a vampire slayer, intent on killing the ЋmonstersЛ who killed her parents. And it's Angus's job to stop her.

The only good vampire is a dead vampire. It's been Emma's motto since she committed her life to the destruction of things. Now Angus MacKay wants to convince her differently.

Sure, he's a sexy Highland warrior who seems to have stepped off the cover of a romance novel, complete with brogue, kilt, and sword, but he's also one of them. And it's her job to kill him.

The war is on, but will it end in the destruction of one or both of them. . or in total surrender to a passion for the ages?

Three signs that something is very different with your mew man:

1. He sleeps all day. . which would be annoying except he's so attentive at night.

2. He's attacked by sword-wielding assailants, yet insists he can handle it on his own.

3. He never seems to age.

Heather Westfield has always lived a quiet life, but that all changes when she helps a very handsome, very mysterious stranger. There's something not quite right about Jean-Luc, but still, she's never been with a man so charming, so attractive. . so wonderful. Now if only a murderous villain wasn't after them, they might get their happily-ever-after.

Vanda has a tiny anger problem. Nothing major. She has been known to destroy a room — or three — when something doesn't go her way, but who hasn't? That's no reason to force her into anger management! But that's just what the head vamps decide she needs. Once she gets there, things go from bad to worse. Because while Vanda lets the little things get her down, she has a very good reason not to trust her new sponsor, Phil…or anyone of his kind. Phil has made a place for himself with the vampires. They're the only ones who understand what it's like to be different and the fact that they would take in a werewolf like him means they have his loyalty forever. But even that loyalty can be tested, and Vanda is certainly the one to do it. Her seeming uncontainable rage at werewolves is unbearable — especially as Phil starts to realize that his feelings for her go far beyond friendship. But can he convince her to let go of the trauma of her past so she can learn to love him for who he is?

Who says a vamp can't have it all?

Darcy Newhart thought it was a stroke of genius — the first-ever reality TV show where mortals vie with vampires for the title of The Sexiest Man on Earth. As the show's director, Darcy's career would be on track again. And she can finally have a life apart from the vampire harem. Okay, so she's still technically dead, but two out of three's not bad. Now she just has to make sure that a mortal doesn't win. If only she wasn't so distracted by a super-sexy and contestant named Austin…

But Darcy doesn't know the worst of it. Austin Erickson is actually a slayer! And he's got his eye on the show's leggy blond director. Only problem is, he's never wanted any woman — living dead — as badly. But if he wins her heart, will he lose his soul? And if it means an eternity of hot, passionate loving with Darcy, does that really matter anyway?

Vampire Ian MacPhie has a new face and a new mission — now that he looks twenty-seven instead of fifteen, he's on the lookout for true love. He claims that all he wants is another vampire…until Toni Duncan comes along. Toni's best-friend is locked up in a psycho ward, deemed insane when she confesses that vampires attacked her. The only way to get her out is for Toni to prove that vampires exist. So Toni comes up with a plan: make Ian lose control, and beg him to transform her. He's reluctant — for he's deeply in love with Toni, and doesn't want to act too fast — and a passionate chase ensues.

What does a city boy like him know about horses and campfires? Good thing he's got Brynley Jones with him . . . if only she didn't hate every vampire on earth.

Handsome Howard . . .

Hunky Howard . . .

Hot Howard . . .

It's not every day that Elsa Bjornberg feels delicate, not when she hosts a home renovation show where she can effortlessly demolish a kitchen.

Howard is not like most men. For one thing, he's a shapeshifter. And he always thought his celebrity crush would never amount to anything more than drooling at Elsa on TV.

For an ancient curse forbids their newfound love, and Howard is suddenly torn between his desire for her and his desire to keep her alive.
