Fiend hunter Sam “Sabertooth” Forest is used to being on the outskirts. Being a cur with a mix of shifter and human blood, Sam can’t fully shift to beast, but can’t fully pass as human. Through sheer determination, and a desire to protect the broken shifter woman who raised them, Sam has managed to eek out a place of their own in a world devastated by the rift that allowed monsters to spill into the earth plane. Sam hunts monsters, sometimes curs and mongrels just like Sam.

My family is dead and gone. But they left their grimoire behind. Now it's my job to free the powerful magical beings trapped in the pages. I might just find a whole new family…if they don't kill me first. I was just a kid when my family was executed for starting a magical war, forcing me to live my life in the human world, far away from the judgment and scorn of the magical world—and far away from the weirdos who want me to tell them all my dangerous Lovell family secrets. But when a cursed grimoire containing enslaved magical beings falls into my lap, I can't continue to avoid my ...

The Rebel Court is in chaos, and everyone is fraying at the edges. Josh is struggling with his new paranormal status. The vampire queen, Acacia, lurks in his mind making demands and driving him toward madness, and there is nothing anyone can do to save him. Robin is mere weeks away from her coming of age, and without her birthright object, her wild dragon magic and bestial instincts are growing stronger and more violent every day, plunging her into depression and self-doubt. An uneasy and involuntary alliance with the vampire queen isn’t yielding the results it should, and when her new ...

Gryphon shifter Gesa Lionheart’s life is getting more complicated by the minute. She left her clan so she could escape their mind games, but here she is, pulled right back into the thick of it. It seems like saving her sister from the loony bin and ruining her mother’s political machinations would be enough to deal with, but no. Her snarky little fae is hiding something dangerous, her fox is about to lose his mind, her human might not be as human as he seems, and somehow, they’ve ended up with a strange squatter in their bookstore.

She left her clan with nothing. Now she's building a family out of misfits, monsters… and weirdos who refuse to leave. Gesa Lionheart was raised to be loyal, useful, and obedient to her gryphon clan. When they choose bloodlines over her safety, she does what she does best—breaks things and walks away. Now she's in a strange little town in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, working as a paranormal bounty hunter for a police force that prefers not to know what goes bump in the night. The job is messy, underpaid, and occasionally ridiculous—but it's freedom.

Just when Gesa thought her pride was finally complete, it starts coming apart. Halstad vanishes in the middle of the night, and the mage guild insists they know nothing about it. The problem? Gesa’s gryphon instincts are screaming that it’s a lie. Halstad didn’t leave by choice—and whatever the guild is hiding, it’s bigger than one missing mage. Tracking him down won’t be easy. The guild has cut Gesa off completely, refusing to sell mage contracts to anyone connected to Derek White. Even if she finds Halstad, keeping him may be impossible.

A paranormal escort service. That kind of thing can’t possibly exist... If you told me to imagine the sort of woman people would pay to spend time with, it wouldn’t be me. But I’ve just learned that otherkin are real, and my mysterious new mage boss insists they need my services. Turns out, sometimes the paranormal crowd needs a little quality time with a convenient, willing human body--and can't be bothered trying to woo one from scratch. Not only will I be able to pay my bills with ease, but I'll also get to meet a whole host of fantasy creatures. Every paranormal romance junkie's ...

Blythe Li is a wellspring—a vessel containing magic that can only be used by a magi. The only problem is, women aren’t supposed to be wellsprings. In a world where powerful female magic workers rule, and vulnerable male wellsprings must follow the rigid social norms meant to keep their magic pure from corruption, Blythe doesn’t fit in anywhere. She can’t actually use magic, the way a woman should. Wellsprings can’t own property and have very little in the way of basic rights. And Blythe has no hope of making a fortuitous match and becoming a magi’s favored lover and pet, the way...

Not your typical reverse harem.... Gryphon shifter Gesa Lionheart isn’t your typical heroine. Screwed over by her family - a stunningly medieval gryphon clan that is supposed to value loyalty and truth - the former bodyguard sets out on her own to a remote city growing in the Michigan wilderness. With little in the way of life skills outside her clan training, and no one to depend on, she becomes a bounty hunter - chasing down low-level supernatural criminals for the local human police department.

Gesa got her mate back. Surviving the fae lands and tearing Oisin free from his father should have been a victory—but Oisin didn't return whole. His memories are fractured, his sense of self unraveling, and the love he once felt for his pride is buried beneath fear and confusion. Gesa knows him. She loves him. But now she has to find a way to reach a man who no longer remembers why he chose her. And Oisin isn't the only one breaking.

Taken from a magical pocket world to a modern city ruled by the paranormal syndicate... I’ve spent my whole life being used by a cult for my healing abilities, always serving the will of The Mother. Then they came, chasing rumors of a powerful healing artifact. Instead of a necklace or a charm, they found a person. So, they stole me instead. My whole life has been a lie, and I now find myself surrounded by powerful paranorms I thought were extinct. They need me to heal their self-proclaimed “princess”—a powerful shifter who is secretly leading a rebel court that seeks to overthrow ...

Reluctant necromancer Esper Jones had a quiet life, hidden away with her freak looks, and her freak powers, in her freaky old witch’s house. But her beautiful, ghost-whispering boyfriend Toma has destroyed her carefully crafted, people-free life. Now she’s hearing voices in her head, monsters are running amok in Hellsfork, and there’s this vampire she can’t seem to shake. Somewhere between the black witches, hungry ghouls, and cowboy vampire hunters, Esper finds herself with a growing circle of people who actually seem to care for her (for some weird reason).

Life would be easier if I really was an evil witch like the rest of my family. I did it. I managed to free all of the creatures enslaved in the pages of the Lovell family’s disgusting grimoire and I destroyed the book to make sure they stayed free. I thought life would go back to normal once I finished my task, but boy was I wrong. Turns out I’m not the last remaining Lovell witch after all. I have an older sister, and she’s been hiding from everyone—including me—for years. Even better? One of my lovers was responsible for wiping her from everyone’s memory. And now, not only has...

Weird. Creepy. Frumpy. Boyish. At the young age of 29, reluctant necromancer Esper Jones is an outcast, labeled “the old witch on the hill” and avoided by all sane residents of the tiny village of Hellsfork Michigan. And that’s just fine with her. Dealing with people has all the appeal of poking her own eyes out. But Esper’s quiet world is upset when a strange, beautiful man named Toma blows into town and destroys the walls Esper has carefully built around herself.

The pain is constant. And so is the guilt. And every day, I feel the pressure to do something. Hiding isn’t the answer. I’ve tried that, and it doesn’t make the pain and guilt go away. Besides, our hidden pocket world refuge is under threat and with the two realms trying to tear themselves apart, soon there won’t be anywhere left for us to hide. I’m not a hero. The pain, the power, the oh-so-tempting darkness I can feel growing inside me—I never asked for any of it. In fact, I’ve spent my entire life trying to avoid it. To be different from the evil witches who birthed me. And...

I might not agree with my rebel court’s plans for revenge, but I know that the corruption of the paranormal syndicate has to be stopped. Now I’m off to the syndicate’s vampire coven to help heal the vampire queen’s favorite blood donor/lover—from the poison my court slipped her as part of their scheme to get me into the coven…. I might not like the methods, but I know it’s up to me to get information from the vampire queen that will help Robin get back her birthright and overthrow the syndicate. I can do this. I can prove I’m strong enough to be part of Robin’s court, even...

Exiled to the planet Ozma-4 for doing his job as an advocate a little too well, and for knowing too much about...something...Daniel sets off disguised as Dotty West, helpless but fabulous Kansas farmgirl.

The transition from teenager to adult blows. But throw in an unexpected (and unwanted) gender swap, and things get a hell of a lot harder. Head down, don’t draw attention, fit in. That’s been Grey’s motto ever since the universe screwed him over, making him—quite literally—a woman in a man’s body. Etna Island was a normal fishing town and tourist destination until four years ago, when a mysterious plague transformed its entire female population into men. Four years ago, Grace Hawthorne became Grey Thorne, and left all her silly, girlish dreams behind. He quickly learned to ...

Esper and her murder are all set to celebrate Christmas eve…if they can survive the housefire caused by Jet’s baking attempt, the solstice ghost, and the influx of people who keep showing up! It's Christmas, necromancer style. Author’s Note: Fed up with the usual tropes in romance and reverse harem, I wanted to read about characters who are more than the fainting female and alpha male cookie cutter stereotypes that saturate the genre. (There’s nothing wrong with it, if you like that sort of thing, but it just got old for me!) People come in all shapes, sizes, personalities, and ...
