Welcome to the world, Heart of Ice and congratulations to Noa Rose!Scroll down to check out the giveaway!  When a childhood friend turns into an obsession… The white skull, the black cape, the monstrous features--Jessica Cane’s childhood friend is more than just a warm memory. It’s a burning, breathing, living thing, with the echoing heartbeats erasing any future she might have, until she figures out what he was. Going home again takes a dark, but sensuous twist… Her need to know takes her back to her hometown, where she enrolls in the anthropology program at Lakehead University in Ontario, Canada. She’s barely scratched the surface of her studies when she meets the very handsome, very mysterious French-Canadian, Lucas Bereron. There is something familiar about him, something dangerous and enticing. A new obsession grows... Jessice is eye-catching, smart, and she stirs Lucas up in ways he’d long forgotten, ways he hadn’t dared to feel, because...David. And this one could be taboo. David Lantham has been with Lucas for a very long time, and he’s not about to let some Cree brat get in the way of what he holds close to his own ice-cold heart. Heart of Ice features the not-oft seen wendigo cryptid seen in and around the Great Lakes region of the United States and Canada with a slightly taboo twist even for romance.

Daphne de Duras is a proper French duchess by day and fledgling assassin by night. Her latest mission is to dispatch justice and protect the French aristocracy by executing Étienne de Noailles, disgraced former noble, legendary rake, and vampire emissary to the court of King Louis XV. But Étienne’s alleged crime—the gruesome murder of Madame de Pompadour, the King’s mistress and Daphne's friend—doesn’t quite fit the dashing vampire’s nature. With his immortal days suddenly numbered, Étienne needs to convince his would-be executioner not only of his innocence, but that they should hunt the real killer together—a challenge almost as difficult as convincing himself that he isn’t falling for her. Daphne reluctantly agrees to a temporary partnership when Étienne persuades her that something more sinister is afoot. He can, after all, help her find answers in places she’s unable to go alone. And despite her deep loathing for any and all vampires, she can't help but start thinking of a few other places she'd like to go with him.

In 1765, a blood plague is spreading among the Parisian poor, turning them into vampires. For many, it’s a better fate than starvation as a human. As one of few courtiers infected, “legendary rake” Étienne de Noailles is appointed the vampire emissary to His Majesty. Though he tries to advocate for vampire rights, he’s treated as little more than a threat and a lust object at Versailles.

VEE: Remember that way hot, way arrogant chef I rescued? Turns out, he’s my soulmate. Despite Bruce’s lack of a filter, life is all good in Region Two. Cryptids stalking the city’s shadows. My team stalking the cryptids. My sisters using our fav rom-coms as a study guide for meeting your civilian boyfriend’s parents. I always believed cryptids were the greatest danger out there. I was so, so wrong. There are some tragedies even agents and Company resources can't combat. A hopelessness that threatens to shatter the team and my heart. Until I accidentally uncover an ultra-classified miracle. Hacking research above my pay grade isn’t the worst of my sins. What the research points me to requires betraying the Company, my team, everything that makes me--me. But if this deal with the devil saves Bruce? I’m okay with the sacrifice. BRUCE: We’d gone through a different kind of battle and come out more in love than ever. Vee thought we’d won. Hell, so did I. Except there are things Vee never told me. That there was a price for saving my life. That Vee’s the one who has to pay. And now I’ve lost the woman who I love with every cell in my body. When the Company discovers what she’s done, the verdict is treason, the punishment, death. They’re about to meet Bruce the Bastard though. There’s no power—human, government, or cryptid—that can keep me from saving Vee.

 About the Book: Banish the demon, stop the prophecy, and do not fall in love. Easy, right? Yeah, not so much. Mina Donovan is a woman of many talents. Fire elemental, psychic, Legacy witch, magical asset for an FBI paranormal task force…she does it all. Her latest struggle? Not crushing on her sexy best friend. Logically, she knows they can’t be together. Too bad her heart has never bothered with logic. The friend zone is the last place pyro expert Josh wants to be with Mina. Not that he has any choice in the matter. A witch hunter falling for a witch? Not smart. He’ll just have to learn to ignore his attraction to the gorgeous woman who already owns so much of his heart. If Mina and Josh have any hope of finding their way to happily ever after, they’ll have to banish an all-powerful demon and take down an evil magical organization. Oh, and they’ll also have to figure out how to stop the prophecy that warns a dragon will consume Mina. It’ll take more than magic to fix this supernatural dilemma. If you like Michelle M. Pillow, Abigail Owen, K.F. Breene, or K.M. Shea, check out this series that readers have described as a steamy Charmed meets Lucifier with witch sisters solving murder mysteries and finding true love.   May 31, 2021 June 1, 2021

Agent Zero by Janet Walden-West He owns the spotlight, she lives in the shadows. VEE: My only purpose? Keep lethal cryptids in check, and our Company existence secret. Sometimes a girl needs a night of karaoke and tequila though. Instead, after a vicious new cryptid species crashes the party, I end up saving and carting home a way arrogant, way hot chef. With Bruce Kantor now a temporary roommate it seems like the perfect time to indulge my forbidden civilian fascination—especially the friends-with-benefits part. But the feelings he ignites threaten my oath and mission. BRUCE: Damn right I’m the bad boy of the culinary world. I live for the limelight, and the legions of #BruceTheBastard fans love my temper as much as my food. After stomping out of one high-profile gig, all I’m looking for are directions to my next. What I get is a giant Komodo Dragon-wannabe, and Vee Ramirez, the most infuriatingly irresistible woman to ever hit my radar. Even if we survive the relentless monster on my trail, our future is toast unless I can convince Vee there’s more to life than the Company. Welcome to Region Two.

Janet Walden-West is starting her new urban fantasy/paranormal romance series, the Region Two Series.

Ridge: Keeping paranormal cryptid existence on the down-low and protecting the public—even a certain particularly sexy member—is my jam. Associating with civilians, not so much. But when I accidentally tag-team with the hottest, grumpiest woman I’ve ever rescued? McKenna Cabello has me thinking about hands-on research, a win-win sitch since I gotta keep her from accidentally exposing my black ops organization. Her record says she’s a criminal, but the more time I spend with her, the harder that is to believe. McKenna: I can’t afford distractions. As Enforcer, my job is security for the most brutal gunrunner in the Gulf. The job most likely to get me killed though? Ensuring my ATF task force is set to take down the entire cartel. Things go sideways when a freak-monster kills a key player, and a lethal cinnamon-roll with a hero complex keeps interfering with my sting. Ridge Prescott is six feet plus of muscles, corny jokes, and the unnerving ability to look past my street soldier shell. But getting involved with me? That could be his most dangerous mistake yet.

About the Book:
In Hiro’s world, youkai are a supernatural story used to scare children into obedience, and to keep men out of back alleys and brothels. Until Sakurai Hideyoshi walks through his door with a fantastical tale of a samurai who had killed a thousand men and drank the blood of his enemies, a man that lived in darkness but sought beauty to keep it at bay. A story both terrifying and romantic…and completely ridiculous. Unless it is true. Convinced something softer lurks behind Hideyoshi’s hard mask, Hiro follows him home. And discovers the story is real. Only instead of the blood of his enemies, it is innocent blood taken. Hideyoshi tells him never to return. Yet after Hiro’s mother is mortally wounded, Hiro runs back to the one being he knows with the power to save her. When Hideyoshi can’t, Hiro begs him for the next best thing: the power to avenge her. As Hiro becomes youkai, he faces a new threat, something darker, older, and far more dangerous. With Hideyoshi at his side, Hiro must decide what he’s willing to sacrifice--and what he’s willing to do--to protect this new life before he loses everything for a second time.
