Series

SUCK by Jade Royal (3 Books)

From Book 1: “This is a contract. A contract that says you’re allowing me to do any and everything sexually pleasing to your body within your discretion. I guess the only question is, are you bold enough to sign it?”
What would you do if a dangerously sexy vampire dangled temptation so easily in front of you? Trinity was looking for an escape from a reality she despised. What she didn’t expect was finding that the ultimate escape rested in the whiskey colored eyes of the sexy as sin vampire who’d crashed into Trinity’s life. He invaded every one of her senses and ravished her with need and want. As a human, could she be bold enough to step into a world that was forbidden to her? Could she find her ultimate escape from a life that sought to cling to her despite her desperate pleas to be let go?

African American Urban Shifters by Melody Lynch (8 Books)

From Book 1:
Yolanda is burned out.

Struggling to make ends meet as a counselor.

She fears she’s doing no real good for her patients.

Oh, and she just caught her long-term boyfriend cheating… again.

What she needs is some rest and relaxation. Instead, she gets pushed too far and ends up caught in the middle of a streetfight. It’s there that she meets Raheem.

Tall.

Dark.

Handsome.

with a palpable hint of danger.

As sparks fly between them, Yolanda agrees to a date. The more time they spend together, the more he seems like the perfect man—honest, passionate, and totally smitten with her.

But Raheem has a secret. One of fur and fangs that runs deep in his ancestry. Yet when someone begins hunting the local werewolf pack, Yolanda finds herself dragged into a world of supernatural beings and violence.

Can she find a way to save Raheem from the vicious intentions of the hunter? Or will she be forced to choose between her life and her love?

Black Valley Wolves by Nikki Clarke (2 Books)

From Book 1: Valeena is on the run. Except she’s not running anymore. She’s managed to do the impossible, escape from her sociopath brother and hide away on the outskirts of a nice, sleepy mountain town.

It’s just her, her kinda-neighbor, Bob (not his real name because she doesn’t do names), and the small arsenal she keeps stashed in her cabin, just in case. That is until one snowy night an injured dog (wolf?) finds its way to her front porch offering companionship, an uncanny knack for being able to unlock and relock doors, and a habit of disappearing.

Even more unexpected is the intense, insanely hot dude who shows up claiming ownership of her new puppy only to sweep her into the kind of passion she thought had no place in her life. He also brings his own secrets, a hint to her lineage, and a demand that she trust him to keep her safe.
