Hello again! It's me, Evanora Dark, Buttermilk Bay's newest sage of house staging and recently discovered unalived whisperer (that's ghost-talker to you lay folk). Business is booming, a certain silver-fox contractor named Cary Mann is hot in pursuit (wink-wink), and me and my bestie Fab are as tight as ever.Life is good—newly inherited boggart-in-a-crystal ball aside (don't ask; he's a handful. And libidinous. And it's more of a snow globe than a crystal ball...) Good, that is, until the next ghost shows up with an untimely demise to solve. Turns out, she's a blast from my past...a painful one at that, one I could have gone the rest of my life without ever seeing again. My loved ones—both living and dead—all have my back though, ready to throw down with this particularly pesky poltergeist. But my gift for helping the unalived comes with certain responsibilities. I'll help this ghost solve the mystery...

Nyla is a cat. So is Lucas. Nyla is an Egyptian descendant of Bast. Lucas isn't. In fact, he's so far off the scale of high falutin' lineages, he's precariously tipped them. That's because he's a tomcat. Nyla and Lucas have been friends for over a year since they met at a shifters' meet and greet. Until one day, Nyla smells what Lucas has smelled all along. Her lifemate. What does any good pair of lifemates do when they have to seal the deal? A little bump and grind, but who knew the bump and grind meant floggers and spankings and a host of kinky stuff Nyla had no clue Lucas liked. Nyla is vanilla. Lucas is not. Lucas is a Dominant who enjoys just a smidge of rocky road with his bedroom pleasures. Nyla never considered herself submissive. No one is the boss of her. However, these lifemates are about to embark on a journey that will take them both to places they'd never considered. Oh, and it never hurts to mention that Nyla's...

Bad Case of Loving You, Book 5 in the Wolf Mates series by USA Today bestselling paranormal romance author Dakota Cassidy, is here. Return to Cedar Glen, home to a laugh-out-loud cast of characters including Crosby Nash, a werewolf with amnesia! Love is in the air. Or is it, as Cedar Glens resident psychiatric nurse struggles to discover the cause and cure her patient. Werewolf Ella Stills has just one question: What exactly does it take to leave one's life mate? Particularly when said life mate is a stubborn, stupid-headed, liar-liar-pants-on-fire cheater? Apparently the answer is. . .amnesia. Not hers. His. Crosby Nash, Mr. Hotshot Super-fine Lycan Lawyer, has gone and gotten himself conked on the head. Not only does he no longer remember Ella, their recent separation, or his dastardly cheatin' heart—Crosby doesn't even remember that he's a werewolf. A psychiatric nurse by trade, Ella jumps at the pack's offer of a divorce if she aids Crosby in his rehabilitation. Once his memory returns, she'll be free. But Ella didn't count on Crosby's lost memory turning him back into the man she fell in love with. . .the one she can't resist. And when it becomes clear the pack needs Crosby to regain his memory for a reason—a reason curiously related to the woman he may have cheated with—it's a mystery Ella can't resist. Though she'll probably wish she had. . . This paranormal romantic comedy contains humor, shifters, werewolves, and LOL fun. Bad Case of Loving You is not intended for readers under the age of 18.

He's forever bellowing my name from his sick bed. He likes his socks ironed and his toast cut in triangles, thank you very much.

Stevie here, reporting to you live from Ebenezer Falls, WA with my disaster of a day.Yes, that's right. I'm having a terrible day. The worst. It started off like any other day with the exception of Win's strange behavior, that is. But it's all gone downhill from there and I have questions.So many questions...For instance, why is everyone else in Eb Falls behaving as strangely as my International Man of Mystery?

Welcome to Marshmallow Hollow, Maine, a holiday mystery, where it's all Christmas all the time and murder is hung by the chimney with care... Halliday Valentine here! It’s a week before Christmas, and my quaint holiday town, Marshmallow Hollow, is chock-a-block with seasonal activities. Some less fun than others…like the ice sculpting competition my bestie, Stiles, has talked me into. Let’s just say, as a pair, Michelangelo we ain’t. I’m secretly relieved when our epically awful ice display gets damaged. It gives me a chance to watch my new beau, Hobbs, compete in the sled race.But not five seconds in, and Hobbs’s sled-loving dog, Stephen King, escapes my grip to get in on the action—and boy, does he. He even manages to find himself a sled to ride. Too bad it’s already occupied. With the corpse of a renowned ice sculpting judge.True-crime lovers that we are, Hobbs and I jump right into the investigation. It’s not nosiness, I swear. A little kitten’s fate is on the line, after all (long story)! Only problem? A bajillion suspects. The victim was nothing if not an equal-opportunity jerk, universally hated by everyone he’d ever met. And every suspect has an air-tight alibi. Not to mention, the murder weapon is a giant mystery the police can’t solve.All this sleuthing would be a heck of a lot easier if I could just use my magic. But can I trust Hobbs with that reveal? Or more accurately, is he ready for that reveal?

Yep, life is pretty good for me and mine.Until the shocking murder of our new friend, Sister Ophelia, during a church-sponsored speed-dating event. Talk about flirting with death—literally. I can't fathom who'd want to kill a sweet little ol' nun, but as I've learned by now, life in small-town Oregon isn't always what it seems. When a second corpse is found, the stakes are even higher as Coop and I, along with our good friend Higgs,...
