WHEN DESIRE CANNOT BE CONTROLLED...WHEN PERSONAL WILL IS OVERPOWERED BY CARNAL CRAVINGS...WHEN ONLY ONE FEARLESS IMPULSE FEES YOU, BODY AND SOUL...

You can't deny it. It's something primal.

#1 New York Times bestselling author Lora Leigh returns to her sensual world of the Breeds...in an all-new Breed novella that explores just how savage, how far, and how deep a man is willing to go in the name of desire.

Set in the same dark, seductive corners as Michelle Rowen's Nightshade universe...an innocent young woman is drawn into the dangerous world of a dhampyr whose love could be the death of her.

Jory Strong's "worldbuilding is nothing short of stunning" (Genre Reviews)...and now, in a novella of the Djinn, comes the story of an angel who crosses the boundaries of desire after committing the ultimate sin—falling in love with a mortal female.

Ava Gray, known for her "riveting romantic suspense" (Publisher Weekly)...now tells a tantalizing tale of an ordinary man—blessed and cursed with extraordinary powers—who gets a second chance at life and love.

Review: Trace's Psychic by Jory Strong

Title: Trace's Psychic
Series: Supernatural Bonds
Author: Jory Strong

Homicide detective Trace Dilessio has always considered himself a regular meat and potatoes kind of guy—a red-blooded man who likes his women with big boobs, a nice ass, and legs that don't stop. Aislinn Windbourne is a whole different type than what he usually goes for. And even though he hates psychics—especially those that get tangled up in police business—Trace can't seem to fight his obsession for the delicate beauty who makes him feel both primitive and protective.

Years of being shunned in Elf-space because of her half-elf, half-human blood have made Aislinn cautious about opening her heart—until she meets Trace. He beguiles her from the start, and among Elves such a reaction usually means that a couple is destined to form a heartbond. But even as love chases away her loneliness, every time Trace rejects the magic that's part of who she is, Aislinn fears that this human world might be every bit as painful as the one she grew up in.
