The last thing she needs is to fall for not one, but two unattainable men--a dominating warrior and a reluctant wolf-shifter with a horrific past. Now, the Alyrion Empire is poised to invade, and Carivel must choose whether to keep her secret or reveal it--not only to the men she loves, but also to the powerful female ruler whose army could help protect Draebard during the coming war.Steamy and spellbinding, The Horse Mistress: Book 1 combines detailed world-building and a heartfelt romance between three noble, damaged people who have no one to turn to but each other.Author's note: This book contains descriptions of violence and graphic sex, including sex between men, sex with multiple partners (MMF), and elements of fully consensual BDSM within an established, loving relationship.

The Horse Mistress

Jaelynn Woolf

There's a smokin' hot dead guy locked in my garden shed.That part's bad enough. But now, he's trying to get out.Growing up, my father always told me that I'd come to a bad end, just like my mom did when I was a kid. Hearing that kind of stuff when you're little eventually gets to a girl, but I can't say I ever expected my 'bad end' to involve an angry vampire with a severe case of iron deficiency and a panty-melting English accent.Maybe I shouldn't be surprised. Ever since my mother was assassinated, I've felt like there was something vast and frightening hidden beneath the fabric of the world. Something none of us are supposed to know about.So far, finding out I was right hasn't been nearly as satisfying as I'd hoped. I guess the trick will be staying alive long enough to shout 'I told you so' from the rooftops.But before I can do that, I really need to figure out if the vampire who just bit me is one of the good guys or not.* * *The Last Vampire is a steamy urban fantasy romance series from USA Today Bestseller R.

Antidote

The gods promised her a savior. The gods are a bunch of lying bastards. Instead of delivering her from a life of slavery, they ripped away everything she ever cared about. Now, Kathrael must choose. Lie down and accept her fate, or risk her life and try to change the future. Destiny is calling, but she won't face it alone. She has a gentle Seer, a crazy lion-shifter, and the ghost of her dead best friend on her side. Of course, none of them have the faintest clue what they're getting themselves into. But that's all right. Because Kathrael of Rhyth has chosen to fight for freedom. And as far as she's concerned, the gods can either step in line, or get the hell out of the way. * * * The Lion Mistress begins a new chapter in the 2016 Rainbow Award winning Horse Mistress series by USA Today bestselling author R.

**2016 Rainbow Award Winning Poly Romance Series** My secret could save my people. It will also destroy my life. My name is Carivel. I was born female, but I've been living as a boy for years in my adoptive village of Draebard, doing a job the elders insist can only be done by a male. Getting too close to anyone risks revealing my birth sex, and if I am discovered, I'll become a pariah--facing exile, or worse. The last thing I ever needed was to fall in love with two unattainable men. The last thing I ever expected was for both of them to love me back. It's not just me, though. The men I love have secrets, too. Senovo, a eunuch priest, has been hiding his shape-shifting curse, convinced that the wolf inside him is a cold-blooded killer he can't control. By contrast, Andoc is a fierce warrior and a favorite of the village chieftain. But if his history of male lovers--including Senovo--came to light, that could all change very quickly. Now, the three of us are embroiled in a desperate bid to unite the ragtag tribes on the island of Eburos against an invasion by the powerful Alyrion Empire. One by one, our secrets are coming out. And it's not merely our own lives at stake--far from it. If the negotiations fall apart, it might just mean the end of everything. * * * The award-winning

The Dragon Mistress:

Become a bartender at The Vixen's Den, they said. The owner isn't really a vampire, they said. It'll be fun, they said. And suddenly I'm neck deep in a world I've never really believed in, no matter what my crazy Great Aunt Mabel used to say. Seriously, I have more than enough drama in my life already, without adding an irresistibly mesmerizing nightclub owner to the mix. My boss--a man with a penchant for trouble and the echo of tragedy lurking behind his dark gaze. My new coworkers appear to be universally insane. My deadbeat ex is in trouble with a capital "T," and if history is any indication, he'll do his best to drag my son and me right along with him. In other news, I'm also being hounded by creditors who seem to think you can make money appear in someone's bank account by threatening them over the phone. (Though to be fair, if that approach worked, I'd be all for it. Spoiler alert--it doesn't.) To top it all off, while my back was turned, I've somehow become a chess piece in a cold war between supernatural factions. Just because magic supposedly runs in my family doesn't mean I know the first thing about Fae or demons or vampires or any of this craziness. But it looks like I'm gonna have to learn. Because now they're coming after the thing I hold most dear -- my son. And I'll do anything to get him back. Watch out, paranormal world.

His fate is to save a planet in crisis. Survival comes second to that. That's what Kade of House Shadow Wing has always believed, ever since his parents were executed for their political beliefs and he was jailed for daring to be their son. Just his luck that a female human diplomat with hard eyes and a silver tongue would choose the most inconvenient possible moment to barrel in, upending all of Kade's carefully constructed plans. With the situation on Ilarius descending into chaos, Ambassador Isadora Martinez makes him question all of his assumptions about the future. A former Terra Novan Special Forces Major and current pain in Kade's ass, Martinez seems to think there's a way out of this mess that doesn't involve blood running like a river through the streets of the Capital. But talk is cheap in Kade's world. When the pair become the prime targets of an out-of-control Regime desperate to cling to power, their ability to work together will mean life or death not only for themselves, but also for the besieged human population they're struggling to protect. The war for Ilarius' future just went from cold to hot. Until it's won, Kade can't afford to think about a future beyond the fight for survival. * * * From USA Today bestselling author R. A.

Antagonist

Vithii military cyborgs never go rogue. At least, that’s the official line. How could they, when their emotion centers have been ripped out and replaced with tech? No, cyborgs are only good at three things—following orders, destroying whatever target you point them at, and walking calmly into the vaporization chamber when it’s time for them to be decommissioned. PX-12—better known to his friends as Pax—adequately performed two of those functions during his stint in the Ilarian military. D-8, his unit-sibling, performed all three exceptionally well. For that reason, when D-8’s unique distress beacon activates some seven years after Pax saw him destroyed, it would doubtless be quite surprising if Pax were still capable of being surprised. Someone in the Regime is recycling the minds of decommissioned cyborgs, turning them into weapons even more horrific than they were before. To stop it, Pax will need the help of telepathic Vitharan ambassador—and part time spy—Nahleene Veila’ana, a woman whose motivations are as opaque as her past. Since his escape from his military masters, Pax has operated using a strict self-imposed code based on logic. He never expected to experience emotion again—not even somebody else’s emotions. Can a fragile mental connection forged in crisis overcome the damage done by a ruthless military research team? To find out, Pax and Veila’ana will first have to prevent an atrocity born from the sins of the past. Preferably, before it destroys the future. * * * From USA Today bestselling author R. A.

Antibody

She made a blood vow to save him. But first, she'll have to save herself. Ryder isn't a stupid woman, and she knows better than to volunteer for things. Volunteering always gets you into trouble. So it's really no surprise when her undercover operation to retrieve Temple Akenzua from the belly of a Regime prison goes tits-up in fairly short order. With Ryder stuck on the wrong side of the bars, the rescue mission has now become a mission of survival. Her only hope--and Temple's--lies with her comrades in the Shadow Wing. Ryder just needs to stay alive until they come up with a plan. Of course, that would be quite a bit easier if her former bondmate wasn't dead-set on seeing her, well... dead. And, as a Regime official, he has the clout to make sure she disappears without a trace. When all hell breaks loose, the human Ryder was supposed to rescue suddenly becomes her only ally as they fight to protect each other and make it to freedom. Ryder was supposed to be the one doing the saving in this scenario. It never occurred to her that she and Temple might be able to save each other.* * *From USA Today bestselling author R. A.
