Guardians of Telesma – River
Fairchild
Adventure,
shapeshifter, NA, romance
An
ancient prophecy. A doorway between realities. A woman destined to save a
world—or destroy it.
When Kate Ryan discovers an
ancient artifact at a dig site, her life is changed forever. Swept across the
boundaries of dimension, she’s plunged into an alternate world of magic,
shape-shifting cats—and a prophecy calling for her death at the hands of the
Guardian.
Draven, Guardian of Telesma,
took an oath to kill the Outsider whom the legend warns will destroy his world.
He hesitates as his attraction to this woman proves stronger than his sense of
duty. Now he must protect his sworn enemy against his own people as he
struggles to prove the prophecy wrong.
Kate faces an impossible
choice. Stay and try to save those who refuse to accept her, or turn her back
on them and the man who’s captured her heart? If she makes the wrong decision,
will it bring about their destruction?

The Reader by M. Pax – Book 3
of the Rifters series
With the rift
closed for the season and no more monsters to fight, Daelin Long gets bored as
librarian in the podunk town of Settler, Oregon. A job interview and her
brother’s arrival present a tempting opportunity to escape, until her brother
and her best friend, a ghost, disappear.
While Daelin
searches for them, more mysteries pile up: dead people coming back to life,
portraits of the town founders replaced with strange white trees, and people on
the other side of the rift returning. It’s impossible. The portal that allows
monsters from other universes to come to Earth is sealed until next summer.
The Rifters, a
secret group protecting our world, believe the troubles are nothing more than
the tantrums of an offended ghost. Daelin disagrees. If she’s right, the evil
hell-bent on destroying Earth has new technology making the rift more deadly.
Before the monster
summons the next apocalypse, Daelin must find it and destroy it.
Book 3 in the
Rifters series.

And now
for the steamy sex…
Lovelorn Spirits – Christine Rains
Vivian Ray does
not like working with the suave Miles Walker, but he’s the best medium in the
paranormal business. When they are possessed by a pair of passionate ghosts,
Vivian and Miles realize they might have feelings for one another. But it’s
difficult to separate their own emotions from the spirits’, and Vivian doesn't
want to believe she’s in anything more than lust with Miles. There’s something
much more dangerous after them, though, and if they can’t help the ghosts work
through their past, the investigators could lose their own lives.
Reader Advisory: This story has graphic sexual language and scenes—no closed bedroom doors (or other rooms) here! An adult paranormal romance from Ellora’s Cave
