Gamble on a Gargoyle by Maggie Mayhem
Rock bottom never looked so good. My fiancé murdered someone over a dragon’s egg.
I panicked and ran. I also, maybe, accidentally stole the egg. That part was unintentional. Mostly.
Now I’m on the run with stolen supernatural cargo, a murderous ex-fiancé on my heels, and a half-formed plan to throw myself at the mercy of the powerful dragon of Darlington.
Enter Graham.
He’s a gargoyle with wings, claws, and the whole shebang, and he claims he’s here on behalf of the very dragon I’m on my way to see. He just can’t prove it. He’s also hot as sin. And apparently exactly my type.
One stolen egg. Multiple people who want me dead. And all my traitorous brain can focus on is whether this gargoyle runs warm despite being hard as stone.
Spoiler: they do!
Oh No! There's a Dragon in my Bookshop by Ember Holt
My work frenemy stole my promotion, so I cashed in my shares and bought a bookshop with a possessive dragon problem. Oops.
Oh, and he’s an infuriatingly attractive dragon whose magic grows stronger with every book I stock. He insists the shop is his hoard and flat-out refuses to leave.
Fine. Guess I’ll put him to work.
Except his idea of “work” is reorganizing my shelves by vibes instead of my carefully planned system. Worse, his taste in literature is atrocious, and he forbids me from displaying modern romances, though I’ve definitely caught him reading them.
Now, shady looking men are asking questions about him. But for all our bickering, I can’t ignore what we share: a fierce love of stories that has made us into something more than just reluctant roommates. He says they’re dragon hunters, and the more they pressure me, the more I believe him. When they threaten to burn down my cozy little shop unless I turn him in, I realize something impossible…
I’m ready to become the knight in shining armor my dragon never expected.
Save a Horse, Ride a Cow Man by Emily Antoinette
Welcome to Taurus Ranch, where the romance is high-heat and heartfelt, and the cowboys are cow men.
Broke, jobless, and surrounded by exes and friends I’m pretty sure don’t actually like me, I’m at my wits’ end. So when I get a call that my estranged grandma died and gave me half her guest ranch, I do the only logical thing—pack up my entire life and move across the country to a place I haven’t been since I was six.
Reckless? Absolutely. In my defense, I have nothing to lose.
Or so I thought. Turns out that the ranch has seen better days and needs a miracle to bring it back to life. To make matters worse, Cal, the grumpy minotaur who got the other half of the ranch, seems determined to make my life a living hell.
Too bad for him, I’m as stubborn as the ranch’s namesake. This is my chance to start over and find a place where I belong, and I won’t give up because some rude, annoyingly hot cow man thinks I’m not good enough.
As we learn to work together, stern glares and cutting barbs give way to lingering glances and flirty banter. But wanting Cal is far more dangerous than hating him. My heart can’t handle being tossed aside by yet another man, and I refuse to run away from what I’m building.
But when he puts his hat on my head and calls me “darlin’”, how am I supposed to resist him?
A Spark So Bright by Emma Hamm
She hides from the world. He’s the monster who refuses to let her vanish.
Rose has spent her life running. From hunger, from pain, from anyone who dared to care for her. Once a street thief, then a reluctant priestess, then a prize in a gladiator’s arena, she’s learned that safety only comes from silence. From disappearing into dreams and a false reality that has always kept her safe.
Until Gunnar finds her.
The troll warrior with eyes like storm clouds and hands that could shatter stone. The moment he sees her, he knows she’s his, and that claiming her will take more than brute strength. It will take patience. Trust. The slow, dangerous surrender of her heart.
But the realm is changing. Humans are flooding into the troll kingdom, and the king has declared bridal games—a brutal contest to bind humans and trolls in marriage. Rose is fragile, untrained, and has no wish to compete. Gunnar can’t bear to see her offered to another.
So he enters the games himself. To fight for her. To prove his worth. Even if it means pretending he could ever want anyone but her.
Because monsters may not dream, but for Rose, Gunnar will tear apart the waking world itself.
Dancing with the Dragon by Krista Luna
My misbehaving magic traps me in a spicy romance book with the grumpy dragon, and we have to act out the plot!
The growly dragon is stuck playing my lovestruck boyfriend until we finish the book and win its dance competition.
And did I mention that it’s a spicy book? Hoo boy! I’ve gone from competent librarian to mistress of magical mayhem with my very first spell.
Luke keeps me in his castle, demanding I figure out how to break the spell using his magical library… with him hovering over me the entire time!
The fact that he’s so gorgeous makes it downright unbearable. Because every time the book’s plot takes over and Luke sweeps me into his strong arms for a dance, I crave the heat sizzling between us.
Even worse? The romantic in me wants all his sweet words of love to be true, which has got to be my biggest mistake of all.
How to Lose a Zombie in 10 Days by Ami Wright
Your ex boyfriend just got an…upgrade…
Jen is loving her new single life until she gets an unexpected phonecall from her fuckboy ex, Adam: Babe, I didn't know who else to call, but I think there's something really wrong...
No, he hasn't stubbed his toe or locked himself out of his house. He’s dead! He makes Jen promise to hide him for 10 days while they figure out what to do. A promise Jen quickly regrets when she remembers all the things she hates about her too gorgeous, too flakey himbo ex. But she’s never been the type of girl to break a promise.
The solution: She’ll make him want to leave (again). How hard could that be? If her zombie ex boyfriend doesn’t like listening from the sofa bed in the living room as she gets railed, that's a him problem.
The only thing is he kinda likes it... and the harder she tries to make him pay, the harder he pushes to get her back. And the more he pushes, the more Jen realizes her zombie ex boyfriend has changed.
Like, when did he get cute all of a sudden?
Changelings by S.E. Wendel
Balar led his band of five brothers from the warring savannahs in the south to the human land of Eirea on the promise of two things: safety and mates.
In the growing village outside the human city of Dundúran, they’ve found the first. Yet, year after year, Balar watches as others find their destined mate, but never he nor any of his brothers. What could an orc or fae have that he, Balar, a manticore in his prime, does not?
Imogen is a woman alone, and she likes it that way. Burdened with a large red birthmark upon her face, she’s kept herself apart from others. With just her dog, donkey, and goats, she’s built a good life for herself out in the wilds beyond the village. Everything is just as it should be—until one morning, she finds a big manticore sleeping on her land.
Imogen doesn’t like people. Or visitors. And especially not suitors. Too bad for her, this overgrown housecat has decided she’s his mate, no matter what she says.
Balar hasn’t come this far, talked to this many women, and waited this long to be denied. He’ll have his mate, prickles and all. Now, just to convince her. And keep his nosy brothers in line long enough to woo her.
Guarded by the Clanker by Layla Fae
The AI-hating journalist trying to take down the largest AI corporation urgently needs a bodyguard, and it’s ironic that she can afford only me. In her words, I am a clanker. A thing worth her deepest scorn. An it.
To be fair, that is what I am when she’s forced to accept my protection. The Monster Security Agency cyborgs are equipped with smart algorithms and a large database of MSA’s knowledge. They are ruled by their programming and incapable of thought.
It is rare for an AI-powered cyborg to attain self-awareness, and even rarer—to catch feelings.
But my principal is extraordinary, and rare occurrences are her bread and butter. After we’re attacked by a virus engineered to turn me against her, I become sentient.
We are stuck together on a suicidal mission under the fluorescent lights of Neo-Tokyo as enemy cyborgs breathe down our necks. Not the best place for me to struggle with my concept of self and the precarious, forbidden feelings for my principal, who still refers to me as a clanker.
But if I am a thing, how can it be that I love and want her so much?
Buckle Up, Buttercup by Hazel Mack
I’m famous for my to-do list and at the very top of it is trying not to lust after Hadrian Alkazar—hometown heartthrob, star skyball player, and my older brother Jasper’s best friend. Jasper made it clear many years ago that the hunky gargoyle is completely off limits, and that was fine and dandy when Hadrian didn’t live in Pine Gulch.
But now he does, and it’s nearly impossible not to notice that he ticks all the boxes on my perfect boyfriend list: Kind. Nerdy. Seven feet of stacked muscles with a killer wit and a filthy mouth. So I do what any sensible girl would do - buy a business who hates me and throw myself desperately into figuring out how to make that work. If I keep myself on the edge of burnout, I won’t have time to notice Hadrian pushing his way deeper into my life.
The big gargoyle seems determined to make things difficult by buying me gifts when he’s away, feeding me when I’m too busy to feed myself, and helping on days the store is testing my willpower. I’d be a fool not to fall hard and fast for a male like that.
My shop might collapse around me. My brother might lose his mind. But the closer Hadrian and I get, the more I start to wonder if risking all of that might be worth it. Because the one thing I know for sure is that on my daily to-do list, I want Hadrian to be at the very top.
Fake Dating The Grumpy Werewolf Next Door by Ami Wright
Would you fake date the grumpy werewolf next door, even if he was your dad’s best friend?
Fake dating grouchy army veteran, Gryff Evans, might be the best chance I have at keeping the rest of the monsters of Mosswood off my doorstep. As a half-succubus, I attract trouble, even when I don’t mean to.
My parents whisked me away from our small-town home when I hit puberty and the problems began. Now I’m back, temporarily, and I’m going to need my growly neighbor to help keep everyone in town safe from me.
The best part? Gryff is immune to my succubus powers! He's not interested in me at all. Not even a little bit.
So why is he always watching me? And why does his touch light me on fire, even when I know he's faking?
Mosswood is a small town and word gets around fast. Now everyone is talking about the fact that he's too old for me, too grumpy, too damaged... Too bad Gryff is the only guy I’ve ever had real feelings for.
But why would anyone want anything real with the girl who causes trouble wherever she goes? And what happens when my father finds out his best friend helped me through my first heat?
My Boyfriend Is a Swamp Monster by Paige Lavoie
A struggling songwriter returns to her childhood summer camp and comes face-to-face with the imaginary boy from her past—and a second chance she never believed was real.
Marina is used to being overlooked. She works at her manipulative aunt’s boutique, writing songs on a broken keyboard and spending her free time with her grandmother. Her last close friend was a boy from summer camp years ago, but he was imaginary, so he doesn’t count.
When Marina lands an audition that could change everything, her Grams pushes her to find inspiration where it all started. Armed with an old camp notebook, Marina returns to the now-abandoned campground, hoping to write one good song. Instead, she meets a handsome stranger.
Gil has never forgotten the girl who made his summers full of sunlight. He remembers the snacks she shared with him, the songs she wrote, and the promise he made to always come back for her. But he wasn’t prepared for the wave of emotions he felt when she came back.
Eager to keep his second chance from slipping away, Gil spends the weekend with Marina, hoping she’ll realize he’s the boy she imagined all those years ago.
Together, they return to a time where the summer is magic and the days are never ending. Marina can’t help but wonder if Gil is real, then maybe happy endings are too.
Oops! I Summoned a Night Demon by Tiffany Roberts
When she wished upon a star, she never thought the universe would manifest him.
Ember has always worked hard to achieve her goals. Move to the city? Check. Start her own boutique? Check. Buy a Victorian house? Check. Find love?
Absolute failure, and it’s not for lack of trying. So she does something she hasn’t tried yet—she makes a wish upon a star. It’s just a silly, hopeful gesture. What can it hurt?
With a literal bump in the night, Nyte appears. He’s ethereally gorgeous, with dark skin that glitters like the starry sky, wings formed of otherworldly shadow, and eyes that glow with all the beauty, depth, and mystery of the universe. The moment Ember sees him, she can’t help but think her wish has come true.
What does it matter that he’s not human? He’s her monster-loving fantasy brought to life. The problem? He had his heart stolen by his freaking ex.
Thanks to the spell that inadvertently summoned him, she has a month to prove that she’s the one for him. That she’s worthy of his love.
But is his wounded heart able to give it?
Satisfied by the Slime by Ivy Sparks
I thought I ordered a "massage wand." You know, the kind that's delivered in discreet packaging? Instead, I received an eight-foot-tall slime monster.
The listing said "Pulsating Relief" and "Satisfaction Guaranteed." Sounded good to me after a bottle of wine and another long night alone in my soap-making studio.
But what I got was a crate the size of a refrigerator and a shapeshifting slime who technically still matches the product description.
His name is Oz. He's been living in a cave for eighty years, he wrote the listing himself, and he put "no returns" in the fine print.
His body shifts. Adapts. Any shape, any pressure, any texture. I should send him back. Instead, I'm letting him help me save my business while his "deep-tissue technique" ruins me for anything battery-operated ever again.
But the longer he stays, the harder it is to keep him a secret. To make matters worse, a mysterious creature has been haunting the town...
And Oz perfectly matches the suspect’s description.
Kiss for My Kraken by Honey Phillips
Nina needs a fresh start. Broke, alone, and desperate to escape her past, she stumbles into the quirky little town of Fairhaven Falls, hoping for a quiet place to rebuild her life. What she doesn’t expect is to nearly drown in the river on the edge of town—or to be saved by the town’s most mysterious resident.
Sam has spent most of his life lurking deep in the river, keeping his distance from the humans on shore. As a kraken, he’s used to being feared, whispered about, and left alone. But when he rescues Nina, something in him stirs—an unfamiliar and dangerous longing to keep her.
Nina should be terrified of the massive, tentacled creature who rescues her. Instead, she finds herself drawn to him—the gruff protector with bioluminescent skin, a possessive streak a mile wide, and a heart as deep as the ocean.
But just as she begins to believe she’s finally found a place to belong, her past comes calling, threatening to rip her new life—and her monster—from her grasp.
Sam has spent his life keeping his distance. But when danger comes for Nina, he’s ready to show the town—and the world—just how terrifyingly protective a kraken in love can be.
Falling for the Grumpy Orc by Mary Auclair
I came to Saltford Bay for a fresh start. I didn’t expect it to come with a big, broody orc who thinks smiling is a crime and I’m a disaster waiting to happen.
He might be right. I might also want to kiss him. Both can be true.
Newly divorced and armed with nothing but grit, strong coffee and a Pinterest board full of impossible dreams, my plans to renovate a crumbling seaside lodge are jeopardized by the town’s grumpiest, greenest contractor.
Gerralt Banesman is big, broody, and allergic to conversation. I’m sunshine, sass, and a walking chaos magnet. Our first meeting ended with spilled wood stain, sharp words, and one very offended orc.
But when a shady rival threatens everything I’ve been working for, Gerralt steps in with calloused hands and a scowl that might be hiding a heart of gold. The more time we spend together, the more I start to suspect there’s something under that gruff exterior. Something warm, protective, maybe a little bit dangerous and one hundred percent sexy.
And the real problem? I’m starting to like it.
Purring for Her Lion by Evangeline Priest
A Cozy Monster Romance with Bread, Chickens, and One Very Jealous Dragon
When former city girl Liana Reyes trades skyscrapers for chickens in the sleepy little town of Harmony Glen, she expects peace, quiet, and maybe a little dirt under her nails.
What she gets instead is a runaway flock, a mysterious dragon egg, and her gruff, enormous, and startlingly attractive neighbor: a lion-man war veteran who runs the local vet clinic and has the emotional range of a rock.
Roarke doesn’t need complications. He’s got enough to manage with injured chimeras, emotional scars from a galactic war, and now—thanks to Liana—a baby dragon that insists on living in a chicken coop.
He tells himself he’s only helping because of the dragon. And the chickens. And maybe the way she bakes warm, sweet ube pandesal with cheese when she’s nervous.
She’s sunshine and chaos. He’s claws and caution.
But when feelings sneak in like stray animals, neither of them is prepared for what comes next.
Cider, Spice & Orcish Nights by Zora Black
The grumpiest orc in Harvest Hollow just became my husband… and it’s entirely my fault.
I’m a baker with a ticking clock, an orchard to save, and a best friend who thinks marrying the town’s scowliest lumberjack is “practically fate.”
It’s supposed to be pretend — just long enough to keep the land out of my slimy cousin’s hands.
But Thornak Ironjaw keeps showing up early to fix my porch railing. Keeps carrying cider barrels like they’re featherlight. Keeps looking at me like I’m more than a convenience… like I’m his.
Now autumn is slipping toward winter, the orchard smells like cinnamon and woodsmoke, and my fake husband is in my bed, his big hands cupping my waist like I’m something worth keeping.
The problem?
I don’t want to stop pretending.
Wrangled by the Minotaur by Ivy Sparks
When foreclosure threatens my grandmother's bee farm, I have two choices: lose everything, or accept a deal with the devil himself.
And the devil? He comes in the form of Raphael, the eight-foot-tall minotaur who's been buying up half the town.
Everyone thinks I've gone crazy—sweet little Frankie Baker, the town's beekeeper, giving herself over to the monster everyone wants gone…
But what they don't know? This fearsome minotaur needs my gentle touch more than he'll ever admit, and I'm the only one who can uncover the guilt that's eating him alive.
I thought I was just trading domestic services to save my farm. Instead, he wants me to belong to him in every way.
When Raphael's possessive hunger awakens desires I never knew I had, I'm forced to make an impossible choice: protect my reputation, or choose the minotaur everyone fears?
Tusk Love by Thea Guanzon
As the daughter of an ambitious merchant, Guinevere’s path has been predetermined: marry into a noble house of the Dwendalian Empire, raise her family’s station, and live quietly as a lordling’s obedient wife. But Guinevere longs for a life unbounded by expectations, for freedom and passion and adventure.
Those distant dreams become a sudden reality when her caravan is beset by bandits, leaving her guards slain and Guinevere stranded alone on the dangerous Amber Road. Her only chance of survival is to travel alongside Oskar, the aloof half-orc who saved her during the attack.
Unlike Guinevere, Oskar’s path is not so set in stone. With his mother dead and his apprenticeship abandoned, all that’s left is a long, lonely walk to a land he’s never seen to find family he’s never met. The last thing he needs is a spoiled waif like Guinevere slowing him down—even if the spark between them sizzles with promise.
Despite his cold exterior, Oskar is brave and thoughtful and unlike anyone Guinevere has ever met. And while Guinevere may be sheltered, she brings out a softness in him that he has never dared to feel before. As the flames of their passion grow, they realize that soon they’ll need to choose between their expected destinations or their blossoming romance.
Marked by the Scarred Orc by Michele Mills
My fierce older sister, Mia Irontree, recently married an orc firefighter and my life is now wall-to-wall orcs.
It’s cray. I think orcs are perfectly fine…but marrying one seems a bit much. In ancient times, orcs used to kidnap women off the street and fill them with their orc sons. Ugh. No thank you.
Mia’s husband is a great guy, but he’s basically the only orc I trust. One night, though, after a few too many happy hour shots and a full-on bar crawl, I stumble into an orc tattoo shop called Heat & Ink.
Wherein a scarred, shirtless orc named Harken Overlord pulls me onto his chair. At first, I strangely enjoy the possessive touch of his big, rough hands. Then I scream when a hot branding iron lands on my..
.
He licks my skin to take the hurt away. What the heck? The tiny tattoo of a cat I asked for is now Harken’s mark?
I gasp with horror and blast him with all the salty language I can muster. As I slam out the front door of the shop, Harken thunders behind me, “You’ll be back, female, because you’re mine.”
Uh huh. We’ll see. This orc has no idea what he’s unleashed.
Faeling by S.E. Wendel
Nothing tastes sweeter than revenge…
Ravenna never asked for her gifts, and certainly not for her parents to sacrifice themselves protecting her. As a half-fae with foresight, she has more power than most realize, even her well-meaning but doomed parents. She isn’t some damsel in distress—and she isn’t prey for the evil Fae Queen Amaranthe.
No matter how long it takes, no matter what it demands of her, she will avenge her parents. With only her innate gift, a seething rage, and her father’s begrudging unicorn, Ravenna means to burn the faelands to the ground.
Vallek Far-Sight, chieftain of Balmirra, chief of chiefs, means to make safe the orcish territories and unite the clans—and he doesn’t care how many thick green heads he has to knock together to do it. He can see what others can’t: the world grows more dangerous every day, enemies closing in on every border. Protecting his kin might’ve been impossible if not for his most treasured secret—something none of his enemies could even dream: a sorceress who sees the future.
Hidden within the ranks of the Balmirra court, Ravenna plots to march at the head of the orcish army to take Amaranthe’s. She just has to keep her wits about her and her heart safe from a certain noble chieftain, one who treats her like his queen.
By the Horns by Ruby Dixon
Gwenna has always considered herself a normal person. A former servant, she wants nothing more than to land a steady job with the Royal Artifactual Guild so she can make some steady coin to send home to her mother.
She's not special. She's certainly not a necromancer. That would be impossible, given how necromancing (or any 'mancing) is forbidden upon penalty of death. So if the dead keep talking to her? Well, she's going to keep on ignoring them. They're not going to stand in the way of her dreams.
Also standing in her way? One big, arrogant, far-too-flirty Taurian named Raptor. They slept together once, and now he wants more . . . but she doesn’t have time for that. Her focus is on being a fledgling, a trainee for the Royal Artifactual Guild. But Raptor won't go away. He's on a secret mission for the guild to find an artifact thief.
Problem is, he thinks the thief is Gwenna.
How can she convince Raptor that he's got the wrong girl when all the signs point to her? And how do you tell a Taurian you can't date him because you hear dead people and it might cost you your life?
Gaming with the Gargoyle by Kass O'Shire
Nothing says best friends forever like a pregnancy pact...
Being a widow is the best thing that’s ever happened to Gwen. Except to keep her game store, she needs a baby–specifically, an heir. She must be rolling with advantage though, because her gargoyle best friend just happens to be her dead husband’s half brother. Keeping things platonic will be hard, but after her critical fail with her first husband, can she trust her own insight?
Between leading his group through untold perils in the dungeon and helping friends navigate their own issues, Gabe’s usually rolling high on intellect… but his lifelong feelings for Gwen had always left him rolling low. Charisma has never been his highest stat, but does Gabe have the initiative to show Gwen that he's worth risking her heart?
He can certainly try.
Two best friends, the adventure of a lifetime, and one pregnancy pact with a deceptively low difficulty rating. Will they be able to add +1 to their party and their hearts, or have they been rolling at disadvantage from the start?
Romancing the Orc by Krista Luna
After the makeover of the century, I walk onstage in too-high heels… and trip in front of thousands of people! I’m saved from becoming a face-plant meme by Brokk, who catches me in a romantic dip that makes my tummy flutter. Which it so totally shouldn’t.
Because Brokk’s not just the hunky model on my book covers. He also lives 24/7 in an orc costume with tusks and green skin. I might write monster romance and wish I had an orc of my own, but monsters aren’t real! How can I take this guy seriously?
When a creep kidnaps me and demands I solve the mystery of a magical artifact, because of something similar in one of my books, it’s Brokk who rescues me once again.
Turns out he’s not just a gorgeous face and a lickable set of abs. In the jungle, Brokk transforms into the ultimate warrior, vowing to protect me. As we race to beat the bad guys to the prize, heat sizzles between us. When I discover all of Brokk is green, I wonder… What if it’s not a costume? What if the guy I’m falling for can make all my monster loving dreams come true?
Untethering Dark by Desirée M. Niccoli
A winter hag in training, Astrid spends her days in the Black Forest sharpening her spell craft and flinging axes at tourists, and her nights leaving offerings to the ancient eldritch monster that guards the woods. She’s one sex ritual away from leaving the last trace of her unwanted humanity behind and stepping into her full power.
It’s the perfect life. Until a group of unruly humans brings that same deadly monster to her doorstep. Now, her only hope for survival is a plate of poisoned cookies.
Gudariks has roamed the Black Forest since it sprouted its first trees, consuming any who violate his beloved land. Lured to the witch’s gate, he is amused at her attempt to poison him with sweets…but spending time with her awakens millennia of repressed desire. Astrid doesn’t shy away from the gentle caress of his claws or his most ravenous attentions.
As witch and monster find long-buried heat in the wintery landscape they call home, signs of a dark, lost magic begin to appear in the forest. When a rising supernatural threat has them questioning not only their ability to protect the forest, but Gudariks’s own immortality, their only solution may be to share their strength and create a union beyond mortal comprehension.
The Gargoyle and the Songbird by Cora Crane
Life has been a whirlwind since my debut album dropped, but not all of it is the good kind. Turns out, audiences aren’t the only thing I’m attracting—I’ve got a stalker.
My manager insists I need protection, and before I know it, there’s a big, hunky gargoyle bodyguard at my door.
Graeme is my polar opposite in every way. He’s a massive grump who seems to think smiling is against his job description. The man is all business, no pleasure. And my free-spirited nature seems to be getting under his stone-cold skin.
I can’t figure out if I want to punch him or kiss him!
Unfortunately, my sour new shadow has to come with me to Elderberry Falls for my best friend’s wedding weekend. And what’s worse…it seems like my stalker has come too.
With danger lurking closer than I realized, I may have to trust Graeme with more than just my safety…
The Midnight Arrow by Zoey Draven
“Tell me a secret, little witch.”
Marion enjoys her quiet life of solitude in the shadowy woods of the Black Veil, where even the local villagers don’t dare venture. She sells her healing potions at the village market by day and tends to her otherworldly garden by night, caring for her magical bees and furry familiar, Peek, at their cottage.
Then, one moonlit night, she encounters a devilishly handsome male—with powerful wings, sharp fangs, and high fae-like beauty—shot through with a lethal poisoned arrow.
Under her healer’s oath, she’s bound by magic to try to save the mysterious stranger. But as she nurses him back to health, she begins to suspect that Lorik Ravael isn’t quite what he seems. He knows too much about the Black Veil, rumored to be the entrance to the Below, a realm of dangerous magic and soulless monsters. Yet she’s drawn to him, bewitched by his luminous eyes, seductive grin, and silver tongue of riddles.
But as their forbidden desire ignites, she fears Lorik is hiding darker secrets than she imagined—secrets that could cost her a heart she isn’t willing to give.
A Tangle of Tusks by Sasha Onyx
Fayra, a paper-pusher at the New Orc police precinct, can no longer hide her feelings for Special Ops Tyke. She tried, though. And failed miserably.
Fay knows she shouldn't be talking to him, shouldn't be seeing him. And she knows she certainly shouldn't be sleeping with him. Tyke. An orc… the wretch of society.
And yet, how could she not? He's everything her heart longs for, the perfect key to lock out her grief—her most insidious secret. Nevertheless, her mind is ruthless, its monster of sorrow raging from every crevice.
As she attempts to hide it under a blanket woven with social specism and mental struggles, shadows of war encroach over New Orc. Despite the violence and secrecy, Fay and the rest of monsterkind continue to live their lives, fending ignorance, mostly in denial of a brutal past.
Unfortunately, one can only delay the inevitable, and the table is soon set with life-changing choices: accept or resist the fate that entangles them. And so the gamble is on. While navigating through a society rife with prejudice, Fayra and Tyke have no idea about a more dangerous force lurking in the dark—a blood-lusting threat, not only winged but hatched by claws and fangs.
It won't back down from its prey… especially when it is not only cute, loving, and sensitive, but far more than meets the eye.
Her Sweet Orc by Meg Rhodes

I've had my eye on him for months, and it makes my heart race when I find out that my feelings aren't one sided.
Am I ready to trust Ulgan and let him into my life, or will a secret that he's been keeping from me tear us apart?
Ulgan- I knew from the second Ada entered my bakery that she's my fated mate.
Humans don't have fated mates, so how am I supposed to prove to her that we are meant for each other?
Months have gone by since I first scented her, and I'm through with waiting.
It's time for me to woo my beautiful mate and show Ada that the one thing missing in her life is an orc to care for her.

All he has to do is follow her requests, play his part, and not form a mating bond.
But Sunny is orc bait, and Khell'ar is more than even her wildest dreams could concoct.
