  A Very Disastrous Dare - A...

  Sometimes a person speaks before thinking.. 
  She's just bought the flower shop and he's taken over the hardware store for his dad. Sounds peachy, right? Sure, until they both want an assistance grant from the city...and now Emma and Aaron are rivals and neighbors. 
  Emma: 
  I’ve always believed that flowers can brighten any occasion and make anyone's day, but nothing seems to cheer up my handsome-but-grumpy neighbor, Aaron Stansfield. 
  Owning a flower shop next to his hardware store means our paths cross all the time, and it’s usually just a conversation about how hard it is to run a small business in a small Southern town. 
  Which it is. I'm barely keeping my head above water and he has a family legacy to uphold. But it would be nice to talk about something besides work, especially after our flirt-fest at Halloween last year. 
  People do that, right? 
  Apparently not us, because the city of Cider Cove is holding a community project where participating small businesses have the opportunity to win a significant grant. 
  And I need that money. 
  Aaron wants it too, and when I see him at the information meeting, I can't control myself. I sit next to him and tell him I'm going to take the prize. After all, park rebuild + flowers = winning combo. 
  So when he issues a dare—that we submit one application and work together to ensure the win—my stupid crush kicks in and takes him up on it. 
  So now we're working together on the community project, and I start seeing a different side of Aaron—the side that’s kind, thoughtful, hardworking and frustratingly...sweet. 
  He may be grumpy, but he’s also the one who’s always there when I need him. 
  As our rivalry turns into something more, I can't help wondering: Could this very disastrous dare be the start of something wildly wonderful?

  Clad in dragonscale armor across the war-torn plains of Scaldrak, where scaled warriors defy arrows with plated might and bardic charms lure with lyrical spells, warrior Drakon succumbs to vulnerability from minstrel Lira's cupid-tipped songs. Their pierce, arrowed in charmed vows, breaches the fortress—or weakens the scales to enemy siege. As they march through armor-forged camps and charm-echoed battlefields, besieged by scale hunters and silent rivals, Drakon's warrior steel softens under Lira's melodic siege, revealing a dragonscale saga of charmed strength. When a dulled arrow unleashes berserker rage, they must charm the pierce to mend the breach. In the clash of scaled vulnerabilities, where every plate guards a wound and every lyric heals the soul, their love becomes the arrow that fortifies the heart.

  Stewart "Hoagy" Hoag hasn't written any fiction since his debut novel rocked the literary world of the 1980s and then left him with a paralyzing case of writer's block. Since then, he's been reduced to ghostwriting celebrity memoirs. But his newest project could have him diving back into the world of fiction in a way he never imagined. 
   
   
   
  Nikki Dymtryk is Hollywood's hottest reality TV star, known for her wild party lifestyle and prolific sexual conquests. But when the ratings for her show Being Nikki begin to drop, the Dymtryk family engineers a new plan to keep Nikki in the limelight: reinventing the young star as a bestselling author. Nikki's team hires Hoagy to ghostwrite a steamy romance novel showcasing the glitz and glamor of the Hollywood elite. 
   
   
   
  Reluctantly, Hoagy flies out to LA with his trusty basset hound Lulu. But when he finally meets the starlet, she's nothing like the aimless, airhead image she presents to the media. This project may just be the key to getting Hoagy's creative juices flowing again—and staying in LA might also give him a chance at getting back together with his actress ex-wife, Merilee. But spending time with Nikki isn't all parties and poolside lounging. As Hoagy gets closer to the young woman, he begins to uncover the Dymtryk family's dark secrets. Secrets that are worth killing for.

  Dillon Harris: 
  The last thing I expected to learn when I confronted my deadbeat dad was that he had a dark secret -- He was a vampire. How could that be? Dead men can't have children. So, how can I exist? And what am I? 
  Luckily, I have Remy to help me unravel this mystery. He's my best friend's wolf shifter brother, and although I was his little brother’s human gay friend, he has always made me feel like I mattered. At least, I thought I had him until his mafia family's wolf pack rival forced Remy into an engagement with the alpha’s daughter. 
  Wait, did I say I was human? Scratch that. I'm whatever it is that can see through the glamour magical creatures use to hide from the human world. That makes me the most dangerous magical creature in New York City... especially to whoever ordered my father to compel my mother to believe she was pregnant.  
  And now I have no one to protect me. Although, from the way Remy undresses me with his eyes, maybe I do.  
  Am I a lone pawn in a larger game to bring down humanity? Or is Remy, not just the man I've loved since the moment we met, but the knight who will save me from it all?
