What do a spoiled daughter of a corrupt politician and a modern-day female pirate have in common? Aside from a thirst for danger and a hunger for sex, that is. *** Piper Price wants nothing more than to get far, far away from her controlling father, a powerful US politician. Her entire life, she's been forced to pose as his perfect daughter, but when she flees to the south of France after a rough break-up an opportunity for escape presents itself in the most surprising of ways. Odette Garnier is a modern day pirate on a mission: abduct the spoiled daughter of a corrupt politician and ransom her back to him as part of a plan to take him down for good. What she didn't plan on was finding Piper so attractive that she engages in a steamy one night stand beforehand. What she never expected was for Piper to be thrilled by the kidnapping and ready for another go around. With the captain declaring them off-limits to each other and Piper's father being trickier than they expected, Odette and Piper will have to navigate the increasingly dangerous situation...and their growing feelings for each other.

Struggling to sell a single painting and drowning in student debt, Marisol Reyes, a fiercely independent but lonely artist in modern-day Chicago, is just about ready to give up on her dreams. When a mysterious storm crashes through her studio, she's pulled-brushes and all-into a world of primal beauty, where men can transform at will to different animals, cities are carved from stone and bone, and technology is nothing more than a fantasy. In this untamed realm centered around women and powered by instinct, Marisol finds herself at the center of the beastmen tribes. With no phone, no way home, and no clue how to survive in a matriarchal society where women must take multiple male consorts to stay protected, Marisol must quickly adapt-or risk becoming prey. Thrust into the spotlight, she must navigate between aggressive females, obsessive men, and unexpected desire. Armed with nothing but her creativity, courage, and the heart she wears on her sleeve, Marisol begins to uncover her place in this wild world. Maybe she doesn't need to return home after all... maybe she was meant to paint a new life here.
