Undertow: Rock Bottom by Joss Dey
About Undertow: Rock Bottom by Joss Dey
A world born of merged realities, turbulent and jagged and overrun with monsters…a woman infected with unruly magic, unknowingly using her soul to find love…
Without warning, the magical realms of dreams and nightmares collapsed upon us, shredding our safe existence. A violent civil war erupted between a ruthless queen seeking revenge and a dark prince collecting power, leaving a broken world of stunted magic, fantastical creatures, chaos, and a drug called Undertow.
Dragon was sold by her mother to a shady clinic that altered her, leaving her mostly human and able to fix the flaws in people. Her “gift” infuses her with life-changing confidence as well as an unnatural euphoria…but also is literally killing her, slicing her soul bit by bit to nourish her fixes. Worse, the power fueling these transformations appears to be overtaking Dragon’s body, turning her thoughts and actions towards savagery and murder.
When she meets Fel, a banished fae warrior suffering from PTSD, she’s instantly drawn to him, the one man who doesn’t need her to fix him. Is it his addiction to Undertow, or is it something else? Whatever the answer, Dragon dives right into a steamy affair—love optional…or so she thinks.
But all is not what it seems with Dragon’s adoptive family. When she chooses Fel, the love and acceptance she’s found in this patchwork household is threatened, unleashing a devastating secret that could deliver Dragon into the hands of the two most powerful and deadly creatures in the world…

Author Bio:
A devoted fan of fantasy literature since age eight, Joss dreamed of being able to create her own magic and did so for sixteen years as a graphic designer.
However, the desire to follow in the footsteps of her childhood hero, Susan Cooper, never left her and, in her greatest act of rebellion, she pursued and received an MFA in Creative Writing from American University.
Though she stopped “screwing around” and eventually “got a real job”, she never stopped writing, intuitively comprehending that she would never be happy if writing didn’t play a major role in her life. Luckily, she joined RWA in 2004, a move that happily confirmed that being a writer is an affliction from which there is no cure, at least there isn’t Joss’s case.
Today, from her basement office in the ghetto in New Haven, Connecticut, she writes emotionally-driven urban fantasies that explore questions about love, family and self amidst bizarre creatures, odd goings on and the end of the world.

The Great Disapurrance by Anya Nowlan
About The Great Disapurrance by Anya Nowlan
Arlen Johnson has done a lot of things right in life, and a lot of things wrong. What other explanation could there be for being sent by his employers, The Firm, to track down and kill one of the most influential lieutenants in the premier shifter crime organization in the region! And to make matters worse, this weretiger’s heat is right around the corner, making the seasoned SEAL more aggressive than ever. But his mission has to take a backseat when the right woman happens to be at the wrong place, and Arlen has to focus on protecting her as much as trying to keep his paws off of her.
Even an elite weretiger SEAL can’t be faultless…
Sienna Marquez has spent her lifetime trying to distance herself from a past that’s too painful to think back on, but that past doesn’t want to let her go. When the Chicago shifter mob takes an interest in her, Sienna would have never guessed that the path to her salvation would come from a man as dangerous as the jerks who took her hostage, but a whole lot sexier. With heat and uncertainty mixing together, no wonder the sheets aren’t the only thing getting tangled up.
And when there’s no doubt about there being a baby on the way, Sienna knows that she has the fight of her life on her hands. Not only for her own future, but those of her baby, and maybe the growly, Alpha tiger who she can’t keep her hands off of…

Leslie North is the pen name for a critically-acclaimed author of women’s contemporary romance and fiction. The anonymity gives her the perfect opportunity to paint with her full artistic palette, especially in the romance and erotic fantasy genres.
The truth of the matter is she loves her fictional persona, Leslie North, more than her normal, day-to-day persona! Her bestselling books focus on strong characters and particularly women who aren’t afraid to challenge an alpha male. Inspired after years of travel, her stories are set all over the world, from the tough streets of Russia to the beautiful beaches of the middle east.
Leslie fell in love with romance when she first picked up a scrappy, dog-eared romance book from her local library. She began writing soon after and the rest, as they say, was history. She now lives in a cozy cottage on the British coast and enjoys taking long walks with her two Dalmatians, George and Fergie.
She LOVES reader feedback, and if you have any comments, don’t hesitate to contact her via e-mail: leslie@leslienorthbooks.com.

Under His Kilt
Jocelyn Pearson is determined to spend her last month as a twenty-something doing everything she’s too busy or scared to try. Her imagination runs wild and then fixates on Ian Baird. He’ll be working at the Langston Museum for a short stint as a consulting curator. He’s Scottish. He believes sex is fun to be had. He’s the perfect choice for a fling. She only has to get him break his rule about sleeping with co-workers. Seducing a man was on her bucket list…
Ian is no one’s fool and knows exactly what Jocelyn wants—him. If she didn’t work for the Langston Museum, he’d be more than happy to oblige any and every fantasy she desired, but she’s the curator. She’s sweet, inexperienced and well liked by everyone including the museum owner and director. Ian can’t risk losing such an important contact for his consulting business. Not even when everything within in him craves a taste of her.
When Jocelyn sets her sights on him, there’s no way Ian can deny her. They agree their affair will end in thirty days. No emotions, no entanglements, just sex. The closer the end date looms, they start to question if it’s possible to walk away. They’ll either have to come to terms of what they’ve become or stick to their original agreement.
