Gingerbread Dreams

K.L. Noone

Summary

One Gingerbread Extravaganza competition. One cynical judge. One holiday-loving baker. Four challenges, and a pinch of spice ...
Nate Miller has never entered a televised baking competition before. But he's good at gingerbread, he loves flavor, he adores the holiday season, and he'd definitely like $25,000 and the publicity for Nate's Bakes. He's here to win -- but also to have fun and enjoy himself. Too bad one of the judges has a reputation for ice-cold critiques and precise perfection ... along with a gorgeous smile, killer cheekbones, and a delicious air of command.
Marcus LeGrand knows his reputation: sharp, chilly, and demanding perfection. He's great for ratings, and baking-show audiences love his sarcasm and his expertise. But he's getting tired of being the bad guy, intimidating everybody, never getting close. He's here to judge this competition, and he'll do his job ... but Nate's persistent friendliness, terrible holiday sweaters, and decadent gingerbread just might make Marcus want a taste. 
The kitchen chemistry's instant, but Nate and Marcus will have to resist temptation in order to make it through the competition ... and achieve their Gingerbread Dreams.

Yugen

Devin Vandriel, Janessa Keeling

What happens when the chosen one isn't chosen?
Vian has survived ten years of Guardian training. Dreaming of adventure and glory. He's a wizard-warrior with the highest exam scores in his cohort. He's also got a dark secret slumbering behind his eyes—uncontrollable magic that activates with eye contact. If his fellow Guardians discover it, they'll be duty-bound to kill him.
The night before their final trial, Ridvik tells him they've both been hand-selected for the Wolves. An hour later, Vian learns the truth: Ridvik gets the elite assignment, and Vian gets shipped off to a fortress basement. His job? Watch the rocks glow. Pull a rope if one stops glowing. Stay safe, stay protected, and never see anything remotely resembling the danger or adventure he's been craving.
But Vian's adventure is only beginning. The Goddess of Destiny isn't finished with her nephew, and she's offering everything he's ever wanted: his dead brother back, a chance at greatness, and all the power he could dream of. Meanwhile, the man who trained him offers something else entirely—a chance to escape the Guardians, the crap job, and decide his own fate.
Too bad divine gifts always come with a price. And sometimes the biggest choice isn't between good and evil—it's between the adventure you think you want and the person you're meant to become.
One day you're serving alcohol to pompous Guardians who didn't earn their rank. The next you're standing back to back with the ones who did. Then you're getting your ass literally paddled by middle management while your friend wiggles his bare butt at the guy with the paddle.
Welcome to military life. It's exactly as stupid as you think it is.

Home is Where the Heart Is

Lisa Oliver

All Cloverleah Pack Enforcer Wesley (Wes) wanted the night he went out, was to have a few drinks, maybe find some company, and try and forget his worries and insecurities for few hours. The drinks flowed and he found the company; a gorgeous man with a mysterious scent, who seemed to completely understand the anger, shame, and jealousy Wes was hiding from his pack mates. Unfortunately, Wesley didn't understand how badly he'd been conned until he woke up the next morning alone in a cave.
Fast forward months later and Wes discovered the wards that had have held him captive from day one had suddenly disappeared. Not one to dither when a chance to escape presented itself, Wesley set off, sometimes on two feet and sometimes on four... looking for a way out of a barren realm that held nothing but red sand and black rocks.
Cass enjoyed being a demon from a large family. The Underworld was good to him; he had a job, a house and he didn't lack for company. Unfortunately, his carefree attitude tended to get him into trouble at times and when his brother Myka insisted on him paying back a "favor" he’d incurred through a badly placed bet, Cass had no choice but to agree. It sounded simple enough. Meet with the snobby and reclusive members of the Cloverleah Pack, find out about a missing wolf, and then search for that wolf in the Underworld. Cass figured he could be home in time for his mama's Sunday dinner.
Finding Wes wasn't the problem, but Wesley had stumbled onto a situation of his own he couldn't leave. What was worse, was when Cass was forced to tell Wesley about why no one from his pack had been looking for him before, Wes knew he had no way of ever going back to the life he had. The fact that Cass and Wesley were fated mates was hard to celebrate as Wes tried to cope with the loss of his pack status and the implications of his current situation.
