Book Description
Become a bartender at The Vixen's Den, they said. The owner isn't really a vampire, they said. It'll be fun, they said. And suddenly I'm neck deep in a world I've never really believed in, no matter what my crazy Great Aunt Mabel used to say. Seriously, I have more than enough drama in my life already, without adding an irresistibly mesmerizing nightclub owner to the mix. My boss—a man with a penchant for trouble and the echo of tragedy lurking behind his dark gaze. My new coworkers appear to be universally insane. My deadbeat ex is in trouble with a capital "T," and if history is any indication, he'll do his best to drag my son and me right along with him. In other news, I'm also being hounded by creditors who seem to think you can make money appear in someone's bank account by threatening them over the phone. (Though to be fair, if that approach worked, I'd be all for it. Spoiler alert—it doesn't.) To top it all off, while my back was turned, I've somehow become a chess piece in a cold war between supernatural factions. Just because magic supposedly runs in my family doesn't mean I know the first thing about Fae or demons or vampires or any of this craziness. But it looks like I'm gonna have to learn. Because now they're coming after the thing I hold most dear — my son. And I'll do anything to get him back. Watch out, paranormal world. Hell hath no fury like a mother's wrath. * * * Vampire Bound is a new urban fantasy romance series by R. A. Steffan, set in the same world as the bestselling series The Last Vampire. Download the complete series collection today, and enter a world shared by humans, fae, demons, and vampires. It's a place where the supernatural threatens the mundane, nothing is as it seems, and love will either be the world's downfall—or its salvation.

An angel locked out of Heaven. A demon on the hunt for an escaped soul. Watch out, because all Hell is about to break loose. When the Archangels slammed the pearly gates shut on the great war between the Demons and the Fae, the angel Shemasiel missed the memo. Trapped alone on Earth, she's spent the past few millennia sticking her nose in where it's not wanted, and generally being a nuisance to the people in charge. Posing as human investigative reporter Neveah Lane, she's first on the scene of a mysterious death with hallmarks of the supernatural. But when one of Hell's most notorious demons is also sent to investigate, it quickly becomes apparent that more is at stake than the death of a single woman. Now, with the truce between two powerful, warring races hanging in the balance, a stranded angel and Hell's most devious spymaster must choose whether to oppose each other on principle, or work together for peace. As the two orbit each other in pursuit of their competing goals, Neveah finds herself experiencing the appeal of the forbidden for the first time in her ageless existence. Angels are supposed to be immune from temptation. Too bad Neveah was never a very good angel. * * * The Sixth Demon is an urban fantasy romance series by R. A.

Starving artist April McCall tolerates her job for her brother's sake, and when her boyfriend proposes, she can't decide if good enough is good enough any longer. Promised a distraction, April accepts her quirky roommate's dream experiment, but as she's drifting off, she's given a surprising mission: Prevent Sam Hartley's arrest in 1852, otherwise he will be murdered. In 1852 Wisconsin, Sam Hartley wishes to return to blacksmithing, where he could use his hands to create, but until something is done about his tyrannical boss, he's trapped. When an extraordinary woman comes asking for him, escalating threats and her suspicious knowledge force him to keep her close. But too soon he must decide if risking her safety is worth mending his heart. Hours to Arrive Thrust back in time, he’s on a mission to prevent a woman's murder. Falling for her wasn’t part of the plan, neither was earning himself a spot on the hit list. Veterinarian Mathew McCall wants a family of his own, but plenty of worries are in his way: his sister is missing and his clinic is drowning in debt. When his sister's roommate asks for help on a dream project, Mathew reluctantly volunteers, because he just can't say no to a person in need. Before drifting off, he's given a mission: Prevent the capture of a rebellious spitfire, otherwise she will be murdered. In 1853 Wisconsin, Verity Arris angered the wrong person, and now she's hiding from the vengeance-seeking tyrant on her family's farm, daydreaming of making her mark on the California Gold Rush.

Before she can beg for her job back, Becca's asked to participate in a dream study with promises of healing. Eager for any distraction, she accepts, but she's given an unusual task: Convince a farmer to accept a crooked sheriff's deal, otherwise he will be killed. In 1854 Wisconsin, farmer Jonathan Arris turned bandit and carries the burden of guilt. Quitting isn't an option--the bandits murder anyone who escapes. When a frustrating woman inserts herself in his business, it'll take everything he's got to keep them both alive. And when the woman steals his heart, he finally finds a reason to fight back. Years to Savor She has a stalker. He has an ex-wife. Torn apart by time, will the friends rekindle their relationship, or will their enemies doom them first? Kiko Takai wrote a stack of romance novels during her century of matchmaking through time. After reentering the human world, her quest to find a publisher lands her in her best friend's lap--the one she'd abandoned seven years ago. Although thrilled to be reunited, she's heartbroken he's married. Eric Woodson is the vice president of finance at his father's trade publishing house and success follows him everywhere, except in love. Eric is still fixated on what he forged and lost with Kiko, who vanished seven years ago, so his jealous wife tosses him divorce papers. When the one woman he could never have reappears, Eric is determined to break the friend zone. But when they bump into the man who killed his best friend—her husband, Eric will stop at nothing to keep her safe.

Book Description
**SLOW BURN is a re-release. It was originally published in 2014 as ONCE BITTEN, TWICE BURNED.** The king of the vampires is in hell…and he will do anything to get his freedom. Ryder Duncan has been a prisoner at the Genesis facility for far too long. Trapped, starved, tortured—he is ready to do anything necessary in order to escape. If Genesis wants a monster, he will show his captors just how deadly he can be… Then an angel is tossed into his cage. A beautiful angel who burns hell-hot and wrecks his world. With one taste of Sabine Acadia’s blood, Ryder is hooked. Her taste is like no other and the flood of power he gets from her is a supernatural rush. He knows what she is—even before he is forced to watch the flames consume her. Beautiful, magical, more than a myth…Sabine is a phoenix, and when she rises, he vows that she will be his. Thrown together in an alliance born of blood and passion, they have to trust each other. Escape is their goal. Freedom their dream. Ryder vows to make their captors pay—in blood—even as he plans to keep Sabine at his side. He’s roamed this earth for centuries, and he’s always searched for his perfect mate. He just never expected his desire for her to burn so hot. But that’s the thing about fire…even a slow burn will eventually consume you. Author’s Note: The phoenix shifters are back and hotter than ever. SLOW BURN was originally released by Kensington Publishing back in 2014 (the original title was ONCE BITTEN, TWICE BURNED), and I am so thrilled to have the chance to bring this story back to readers. If you love fierce, possessive, and ever-so-dangerous heroes, then you do not want to miss the king of all vampires. Because Ryder will truly walk through fire in order to claim the woman who is destined to be his…

They’re strong, they’re sexy…they’re the government’s secret weapons. Ready to meet the Lazarus team? Super soldiers have never been so hot…or so deadly. NEVER LET GO – Book 1 Working on a top-secret government project to bring back the dead, doctor Elizabeth Parker is shocked to discover her test subject is Sawyer Cage, a Navy SEAL who was killed on a mission—and her former lover. He may not remember this past, but their attraction still burns red-hot. The government calls Sawyer a super soldier. Elizabeth still calls him…hers. KEEP ME CLOSE – Book 2 As a highly trained Navy SEAL, Flynn once worked covert missions for the U.S. government, but then his life was stolen away. Killed and placed in the secretive “Lazarus” program, Flynn was brought back from the dead and turned into a super-soldier. Dr. Cecelia Gregory’s job is to help Flynn control his emotions after the experiment. But when he’s with Cecelia, control is the last thing that Flynn feels. STAY WITH ME – Book 3 Shelly Hampton intends to spend the holidays alone in her family’s mountain cabin, but when a snow-covered stranger appears on her door-step, her plans are shot straight to hell. It’s soon apparent that John Smith is far more than a normal man—he’s too strong, too fast, and she could swear that he seems to read her thoughts…and know her most secret desires. But is John a man that she could love…or is he someone she should fear? RUN TO ME – Book 4 Jennings “Jay” Maverick is a tech billionaire. He has the world at his feet, and he thinks he can buy anything…but he can’t buy her. One look at the mysterious Willow, and Jay knows that he is a goner. He wants to give her anything and everything she desires, but he’s the man responsible for the pain in Willow’s life, and getting close to her—well, that’s not going to be easy. LIE CLOSE TO ME – Book 5 He’s Lazarus, and so is she. What happens when their worlds collide? Maddox Kane has one goal—track Luna Ashton. He’s the best hunter on his team, finely honed and designed by Uncle Sam to be an unstoppable killing machine. He’s a super solider—faster, stronger, and deadlier than anyone else. Maddox keeps his emotions under careful lock and key because he can’t afford to feel. Feeling is too dangerous, and the attraction Maddox feels for Luna is positively lethal. HOLD ON TIGHT – Book 6 Jett is the perfect predator. He’s faster, stronger, and far deadlier than a normal man—because he isn’t normal. Brought back from the dead, Jett is supposed to be little more than a machine. His heart should be ice cold, but it’s not. His heart beats fast and hard for the one woman he should never be able to possess, Savannah Jacobs. When she becomes pregnant with his child, Jett will break every rule to possess her and keep his new family safe.
