Maya has picked the absolute worse time to drive through southern Louisiana. Wet, broke-down, and desperately in need of shelter, she wanders into an abandoned plantation with the sole intention of getting through the night in one piece. Daniel, a wraith with a ghost complex, has spent the last two hundred years entertaining himself by scaring the holy hell out of the living. That all changes the moment he discovers his latest intruder can not only hear him, she can see him too! Can Daniel convince his mysterious guest to help find his remains and break the witch's curse he's lived under for the last two hundred years? Hell yeah! And he'll use any means necessary to do it....even if that means getting ghost-weary Maya to fall helplessly in love with him. Death really is only the beginning when these two forces collide. Nothing will ever be the same for either Maya or Daniel as they find themselves the target of Des's latest love connection!

Lori Mayer is failing out of law school (again), her boyfriend just ran off with her best study partner (she was really going to miss Karl - he took great notes), and she's all out of coffee. However bleak everything seems now, she'll soon discover life can get a whole lot crazier when she meets a drop-dead gorgeous love god named Des who's determined to change her life. Before she can blink, Lori is sent to a whole different world - a place where cell phones don't exist and her iPad is about as useful as a frisbee. A place where hot immortals, savage werewolves, and everything else under the sun runs wild. In this place of warrior kings and sword-wielding guards she will come face-to-face with her soul-mate, but can Lori resist her attraction to Eric McKenna, the ridiculously sexy king of the immortals, and return to her own world, where everything makes sense and places like Wolfgard only exist in books? Not if Des has anything to do with it. He may be cursed to help mortal women find their true loves but it's his game, and in this game of hearts only one thing matters: Sealing the deal. Lori Mayer doesn't stand a chance. **Copyrighted Material: Catch, Curse, Release (formerly entitled Love Bites) Copyright © Wendy Nelson 2012 All Rights Reserved.

Kat Miller has worked at her aunt's bakery since she was old enough to wield a rolling pin, then hanging out at her favorite bookstore afterwards. Without a social life to speak of, and a secret obsession with all things vampire, Kat's life isn't exactly Gossip Girl material. Naturally, waiting on line at the midnight release of the next Vampyre's Crossing book is the highlight of her year - even if it means getting in line behind an obnoxious hottie, who claims to be a thousand year old matchmaker. So what's a sexy cursed demigod to do when he discovers the only woman in all the worlds capable of taming the wild immortal captain of Wolfgard is elbow deep in cake batter? Why, the obvious - he drops her onto the unsuspecting captain's lap. Literally. Is one month long enough for Aiden to convince Kat he is the man of her dreams and her true love? It will be so long as Des has anything to say about it! **Amazing Cover Art created by the super talented @NightRose154** Warrior's Touch Copyright © Wendy Nelson 2014 All Rights Reserved.

Most frighteningly of all, her entire perception of herself, and the world around her, changes when she learns the truth of who - or what - Luca really is.

EDITED AND LONGER CHAPTERS My name is Chloe and I have a story to tell you; 3 years ago in Italy, I witnessed a four gang murder that happened in front of my apartment in broad daylight. In order to clear my conscience, i went to the police and gave them the description of the people that committed the murder. 4 days later there were caught and I agreed to testify against them in courthouse, thinking they'll get life sentence for first degree murder but to my horror they only got 10 years. After the incidents, I left Italy for new Orleans and now to further my learning, I have moved to Russia but I'm in for the shock of my life when I came face to face with the criminals in Russia Oh ooo currently editing!!!!

Penny: I still remember the first moment our eyes met, something happened. Those icy blue eyes. I couldn't take my eyes off of him. I could feel the magnetic pull and we're both helpless against it. Our eyes met constantly across the room. He would be the first to tear his eyes away. He's so powerful, though. So charismatic. He's a lycan. I'm just a regular werewolf. I couldn't stop thinking about him. I made up my mind that I would make him love me. I would fight for what I want. I would deny my own mate if it means I get to keep him. Three years I went after him single-mindedly. I laid my heart out for him. He kept pushing me away. Then one day he pushed too far...and I'm tired of fighting for us. There's no us. I'm just a fool. I'm done fighting. I made up my mind that I'm going forget him. I'm going to go out there and lose my virginity, over and over again if I have to. I mean, why hold on to it, right? It's not like I'm getting an award for keeping it the longest. Not likely that my mate will keep his virginity for me. Darius certainly didn't. Why the double standard? So, why can't he just leave me alone now? Why is he so hellbent on breaking me? Stupid lycan. Ughhh...stupid, stupid lycan. Darius: The moment I laid my eyes on her, I knew she's my erasthai. The one. The exotic looking dark haired beauty. Dark eyes taunting me. Haunting me. Only I'm not looking for the one. I'm a warrior, there's no room for a mate. A mate will make you weak. My enemies could get to me through my mate. Then it happened. She finally gave up. For some reason, it makes me mad. Not only did she give up, but she gets this crazy idea that she's going to lose her virginity to some random stranger. Fvck that! That's not going to happen. Nobody else is touching her. I'll make her wait until she finds her mate. She's so stubborn, though. She's driving me crazy. So, why can't I leave her alone?
