Burning for the Beast by Nara Jade
The realms of immortals are on the brink of collapse. The human woman who is the key to their survival finds herself at the mercy of the king of the Fenrir, a dangerous and powerful man who seeks to use her for himself… and ignites a burning passion within her.
Ulric McCallen will stop at nothing to undo the decades-long curse that threatens the existence of his clan. He finds the solution in an unlikely source — a wee little human of ethereal beauty and fiery spirit. He hungers to possess her, but the same curse that binds his world has marked her for death. The king of beasts must somehow protect Evaline from the dark forces that hunt her, while saving his people from certain destruction.
Evaline Headen is making a last-ditch effort to save herself from a mysterious illness by going to see a witch. Instead of a cure, she finds herself falling straight into danger, and into the arms of a tall, handsome highlander… with big teeth, and deadly claws. She has no choice but to rely on Ulric as she tries to unravel the secrets of her condition and her past. But the truth can bring their hearts together, or be the undoing of them both.
The Trickster’s Lover by Samantha MacLeod
Caroline Capello doesn’t take chances.
A graduate student at the prestigious University of Chicago, Caroline dedicates her carefully planned life to a serious, academic study of mythology.
Until a god shows up in her bedroom.
Loki, the enigmatic and irresistibly sexy Norse god of fire and lies, appears late at night in Caroline’s apartment, cuts her clothes down the middle, and rocks her studious world in ways she couldn’t even imagine. The next morning, she’s convinced it was a dream–until she sees her clothes on the floor, cut in two.
When Loki’s appearances stop as suddenly as they began, concern for her lover leads Caroline to Val-Hall, the ancient home of Óðinn’s army, where she must put everything she has learned to the test. If she fails, there’s far more than Loki’s life at stake.
The end of the world is on the horizon, and only a graduate student with a crush on a god can prevent it.
