Cameron wants to make it clear that he did not go into the festival to find a dragon mate. Germany is supposed to be an escape. With a new mechanical engineering degree, a new job looming, and a whole life planned out that isn't his, Germany seems like the best place to find himself. So, how does he end up discovering his lost magic heritage, running from bad guys with a secret agenda, and being adopted by the not-so-extinct Fire Dragon clan? Cameron blames tall, dark, and sexy Alric, King of the Fire Dragons. His fated mate. Because of course he is, and mates are meant to take the blame, right? It may take a hot second, but as Cameron learns more about the scarred Alric and the life he's landed in, Cameron realizes that perhaps this is where he's meant to be, magic and mates and kidnapping and all. Turns out coming to Germany wasn't an escape but his awakening.

Origin

It's not stealing if you're stealing it back....Ari had a game plan for life. Shoot people. Get money. Hang out with fellow criminal friends. He saw absolutely no reason to change that plan until one dark night in Memphis, when a little girl reached out to him with pocket change and a desperate plea for him to help her. Adopting an abused little girl off the streets was, needless to say, not part of the plan. Ari had no idea what he was doing with an eight year old. He especially didn't know how to juggle taking contracts and raising a little girl. Things get more complicated when the mercenary, Carter Harrison, approaches him with a job. He needs Ari's expertise to get into the very high-security museum, Knowles, and steal back Monet's Water Lily Pond. The job isn't an easy one. He'd need more than the two of them to make it happen. It's further complicated because Ari's not sure what to do with his new daughter while working this job. And for that matter, how's he supposed to handle the sexy mercenary? Tags: Not child safe but child approved, children know best, Remi approves this book, idiots in love, but Remi loves them anyway, criminals make the best uncles, family of choice, Ari acknowledges Remi as the smarter one, Carter admits his own insanity, nothing blows up, Ivan is very disappointed by this, Kyou has PLANS for Remi, licking solves all problems, bedsheets, lifeskills, children should come with warning labels, it's not stealing if you're stealing it BACK, right?, the author once again regrets nothing

How can he regret it when he finds open acceptance regarding his sexuality from everyone around him (even if they don

Fourth Point of Contact

I'm rather used to the crazy cases, because let's face it, most cops can handle the run-of-the-mill with their eyes closed. I'm only called in when the situation is weird or they need to solve the case fast. This case is a little of both. Someone's attacking women as they get off of work, hitting them in the back of the head. What started as a case of battery has steadily built up to homicide. With three murders, six victims, and no leads, the Clarksville PD are desperate to catch the assailant. But there's no real leads for us to follow, either, and for once my eyes can't really help. A madman running around attacking women is bad enough, but the police are demanding answers we can't give them, and they're not taking no for an answer. It's pushing us all past our limits, and frankly, I don't know what's going to break first: The case or Donovan's patience.

Jon's Crazy Head-Boppin' Mystery

I've investigated some pretty strange cases in my life, but I have to say this is a first. A corpse-a murder victim-has gone missing during the middle of an investigation, and no one has any clue where it went. Psy is called in to clear the investigative team, make sure they're not an accomplice. It's a four hour drive outside of Nashville, to a place famous for being haunted, so none of us are particularly eager to go. And then we arrive on scene and I see who we're dealing with and I want nothing more than to turn around and go right back to Nashville. This case is complicated and strange, and absolutely nothing is as it seems at first glance. Even with my eyes, it's going to take some digging to get to the truth.
