Allison doesn’t appreciate being passed around like property, but when she meets Hunter, sparks fly. Sure, he’s gorgeous, but if Hunter’s anything like his misogynistic father, Allison’s ready to resign.

Hunter’s considering the purchase of a resort in Costa Rica. It’s currently a couples-only resort, so he asks Allison to go undercover with him, posing as newlyweds. Allison’s skeptical, but it’s a free trip to Costa Rica, and Hunter’s easy on the eyes, so why not?

Those sparks turn into raging hot flames as Hunter and Allison explore the resort—and each other—and discover that what happens in Costa Rica may or may not actually stay in Costa Rica.

XANDER

By Margaret Madigan

Falling for the daughter of his sworn enemy means making a choice between passion and peace.

When Xander Caine administers a little biker justice to a wife-beating scumbag from the rival Ravagers, he and his fellow Huntsmen walk a fine line between keeping the peace and breaking a long-standing truce.

Gracie Buckner is the daughter of the Ravagers’ president, but she left the biker life a long time ago for college and a career as a photographer. When her sister’s husband beats her yet again, Gracie hires the Huntsmen for due process—the biker way.

Showing up at the Huntsmen’s tavern to confirm the job’s been done turns into an episode of hot—anonymous—sex when Gracie runs into the irresistible Xander. Horrified, Gracie bolts, only to run into him again—leading to more anonymous sex—at a local bike rally. The bigger problem is the instant—and deeper—connection that haunts them both. Once they finally reveal their identities, their fates are sealed.

The Huntsmen-Ravagers feud is the stuff of legends, and finally reaches a tipping point when the rivals learn of Xander and Gracie’s relationship, leading to an epic battle in the middle of the rally. When the dust settles the landscape of both clubs looks vastly different, but Xander and Gracie are determined to stand together in peace and celebrate their star-crossed passion.

DAMIAN

By Margaret Madigan

While on leave from his SEAL team, Damian Caine attends a swanky Fourth of July party thrown by a senator friend of his father. His rock star brother Jaxon will be performing, and Damian wants to see the show. But things heat up fast when he runs into a gorgeous brunette who turns out to be the grown up senator’s daughter he knew as a kid.

Elena Mitchell—senator’s daughter and undercover CIA agent—is stunned when her secret teenage crush shows up at her father’s fundraising party. She gets over the surprise fast, though, and takes advantage of the situation—and him—as a chance to scratch that long-standing itch.

When Elena is kidnapped from the party by a Colombian drug lord set on revenge against her father, Damian and his SEAL team are assigned rescue duty. He’s determined to save her, despite her exasperating need to save herself. But the mission goes bad and Damian and Elena are forced to hide in the jungles of Colombia to await rescue.

Just when they think they’ll get out alive, all hell breaks loose and both their lives hang in the balance. When Elena’s recaptured and tortured, she realizes for the first time ever she may not be able to save herself. She faces her mortality believing Damian is dead and wishes they could have made a future together. But it takes more than a couple of bullets to kill a SEAL, and Damian’s hell bent on saving the woman who stole his heart.

After being disgraced and tossed out by her own scientific community, Gwyn Snow is convinced she can develop a cure for a super virus that has turned the infected into zombies.

Now, running out of time, she needs help and takes a chance on a hero for hire.

Rafe Charming loves the apocalypse. Since the world went to hell, everything’s come up roses for him. Having moved into a mansion in the Hollywood Hills, adopted a slew of homeless boys and one cantankerous but useful Doc, life is great. Rafe has even started a business. His job? Helping people survive the apocalypse. And if he gets to kill a few zombies along the way, well that’s just a bonus.

Gwyn needs Rafe to help retrieve her research from the Paragon Pharmaceuticals lab, aka Zombie Central. Believing she can yet save the world, Gwyn makes Rafe question what’s right and what’s worth the fight.
