'Arguing with witches, hunting warlocks, fighting vampires and kissing werewolves wasn’t quite the Valentine’s Day she had planned…

'It’s coming up to Valentine’s Day, and empath morpho medic, Harriette “Harry” Swalwell, doesn’t want to spend another one alone. Ever since her best friend’s murder, she’s struggled with the loneliness and grief of losing yet another loved one, but can’t quite relax her guards enough to make new friends, and possibly new lovers. So, sipping a love potion to help find her heart’s desire seemed like good idea at the time… She just wasn’t expecting to run into her best friend’s annoying older brother, or slip into the mind of a killer.

'Werewolf alpha Jude Colton and his brothers are determined to find their sister’s killer, and keeping an eye on her best friend is good in theory, not so much in practice. The woman is human, annoying, resistant to orders, determined, with little regard to her own safety when it comes to hunting killers. When an unwelcome side affect of drinking a love potion gives Harry an insight into a cunning killer, Jude adds protecting his sister’s frustrating best friend to his to-do list. Just as well, because another side affect of that darn potion is that Harry gets very kissy…'

'It's all fun and games until someone gets murdered...

'In this gripping new action suspense from award-winning author Shannon Curtis, an undercover bodyguard must protect a witness who is unaware of her guardian. The only problem - she's on a killer's hit list, and they're playing a dangerous game of hunter and prey deep in the Californian wilderness.

'A former soldier struggling with loss, grief and guilt...

'Undercover bodyguard Knox Landon has an easy job monitoring this pretty principle - he's got her routine down pat. Work, sleep, repeat. Hired by her father, he watches over her from a safe distance, but after coming to her rescue after a physical attack in a hotel room, he realises he's going to have to get up close and personal in order to protect his client's daughter.

'A woman who has already faced too much betrayal...

'Logistics manager, Michaela Robson, is fighting the whistleblower stigma after busting an illegal drug smuggling ring at work, and hopes to build trust with her work team at the company's annual retreat. The last thing on her mind is a steamy workplace romance with the new alpha male freight handler on her team, but Knox has the uncanny ability to be there for her when she desperately needs him, and of showing her that freight isn't the only thing he can handle so skilfully.

'Caught in a sniper's crosshairs, Michaela must decide whether she can trust this man full of secrets. For Knox, though, protecting this woman means facing his own demons, consequences be damned.'

'Echo Springs on the edge of the outback – a town where everyone knows your name, and your business. But the wholesome country living and welcoming community aren't what they used to be. Echo Springs has a dark underbelly, and it is seeping ever outward.

'Jacinta Buchanan understands stress. Between trying to keep the family farm going and convince her father that she's the best (and only) option to take over permanently, she has a lot on her plate. So when one of the old mines on the property blows up, killing a local teenager, she can barely hold it together. But finding out that she's a suspect and the cop sent to investigate her is her brother's best friend is the absolute last straw.

'Country cop Mac Hudson is used to disappointment. He's watched friends, classmates, townspeople he likes and respects cross the line time and time again, and it's his job to dole out the consequences. But discovering that Jac Buchanan has a meth lab on her property is an unexpected blow, so when she hatches a plan to prove her innocence and draw out the real culprits, he agrees to go along. But there's a darkness on Bull's Run that runs deeper than they expect and a darkness in Echo Springs that stretches further than they can imagine. In their quest for the truth, Jacinta and Mac will have to risk the town they both love and the future they're only beginning to imagine.'
