Lena never thought she’d be the type of woman to sleep with her soon to be boss, and makes a quick exit in the morning. Pining over Ethan, she heads to a diner with her best friend to talk it over. Soon, her sudden cravings for meat puts her friend in the war path of a first time she-cat shift.
Ethan is not happy to find his mate missing when he wakes. Will Ethan manage to find and calm the new lioness before she puts the entire city on the menu?

The Dangerous Path of Loving Jaesha by Lorain O’Neil by Lorain O’Neil
[Wicked Warning: Though a love story with a positive ending, this novel contains graphic scenes of sex and violence.]
Logical. Efficient. The way he wants it.
That’s what successful businessman Kenneth Stone confidently believes of his life as he strides into the studio of Jaesha Hampstead to get his regrettably slashed girlfriend-departed portrait restored. But dang! Before Kenneth knows it he’s posing in his office for Jaesha to create a new one.
When Kenneth’s financial advisor arrives and Jaesha shrieks like a banshee moaning that the man is there to rip Kenneth off millions in a Ponzi scheme, Kenneth discovers there’s a whole lot more to Jaesha than just paintbrushes. And that whole lot more would make a mighty fine business asset. Moreover, Kenneth Stone has a secret little talent of his own, a secret that could bind Jaesha to him regardless of her feelings on the matter.
Kenneth crafts a brilliant plan for the seduction of his little Picasso not knowing that while he may be a born boss, Jaesha is a born saboteur.
The Dangerous Path of Loving Jaesha is 85,000 words long and is written in the genres of magical realism/humor/erotic romance and is intended for an adult reader.
Coquina Hard by Lorain O’Neil
We were all taught that thirteen colonies united against the British in the American Revolution—nothing is ever mentioned of the fourteenth colony, the one that went loyalist, fought against the Revolution, and paid a devastating price: Florida.
Coquina Hard opens amidst the true story of the British military crushing the rebellion of thousands of Catholics who’d been tricked into slavery by a British aristocrat, Dr. Turnbull, sailed to Florida, and forced to build a town (New Smyrna, which exists to this day).
One of those enslaved is orphan Toria Brighton who escapes and falls in love with a handsome Georgia patriot who gives her the chance of returning home. Instead, Toria chooses to return to New Smyrna to lead survivors to freedom in St. Augustine (the daring escape is true and well documented historically) while the American Revolution explodes around her.
Warrior by Jessica Lake
Jack:
Kaycee Skye is trouble. So why is she making me crave everything I thought I never wanted?
I don’t do commitment. I’m all about the hard action. The thrill of the hunt. And it doesn’t matter if the hunt takes place in a hostile foreign desert or at my local bar because I always hit my targets.
So how the hell did this innocent little blonde with her perfect curves and her shy smile get under my skin so easily? One taste was enough to change everything. Now I’ll do whatever it takes to free her from the gilded cage she’s living in and make her mine.
Kaycee:
Nothing could have prepared me for Jack Smythson. A chance meeting that was never supposed to happen and a heat blooming inside me like nothing I’ve ever felt before…
I’m not the only one who’s noticed the effect Jack has on me, either. I’m supposed to be the perfect pop star, family friendly and clean. But the forces that have controlled me since I was a child are willing to resort to anything to keep him away from me, even if it means destroying us both.
It was never supposed to go this far. I never should have allowed myself to fall so hard. But now there’s new life stirring inside me and nobody knows, not even Jack…
Warning: This is a steamy read and is intended for readers over 18. Full-length novel with no cliffhangers and a guaranteed HEA!
