The Bastard's World

V.B. Kildaire

Sinopsis

There is nothing Matthias Deverell, illegitimate son of a marquis, wants more than to remove the murmurs of treason that haunt his father's name. He is determined to do just that, even if it means completing the nearly impossible task of reassembling the globe his father used as a safe. With pieces spread all over London, it will take all of Matthias' considerable skill at intimidation to retrieve them.
Nicholas Rexford, young Viscount Leighton, wants only to be able to provide a comfortable life for himself and his three sisters. After being left in near-poverty thanks to their father's spending and gambling, Nick is desperate to find a business venture he can invest in to turn their fortunes around. Sadly, he has no head for business, preferring to spend his time engrossed in horrid novels. 
When Matthias finds Nick in possession of a piece of the globe, he believes the handsome young man to be in on the scheme, and decides to keep a closer eye on him. But when Nick meets Matthias, he is enthralled by the "dark and dangerous bastard" who could have stepped out of one of his novels. 
Despite his suspicions, Matthias is drawn to Nick, but will his suspicions destroy what is developing between them and cost Matthias a chance at happiness?

Raze Vs Raze

Shelley Cass

“Razes, Razes, snatched away … Razes, Razes, break your chains …”
The Raze gang have lost to the cunning of the Wolf. Yet, worse than facing the overlord of the snatchers, and the king of The Hunt – they must now face off with one of their own. The original, most deadly of the Razes has been turned against them.
Dom is caught in a nightmare battle with himself, with his own mind, and with the Razes he has forgotten that he loves. Kiddo is in a nightmare battle to make Dom remember, and to reclaim those who were taken from him, before it’s too late for the damage to be undone.
A gritty urban backdrop, gang warfare, a vigilante hero, a corrupt system, and a bisexual awakening. Join the action and enjoy the ride.
Interview with the Author:
Q. What could readers compare the ‘Raze Warfare’ series to?
A. It has a similar tone to ‘The Outsiders,’ with a gang like a family of very different people who need each other.
Q. What makes this series different?
A. Girls are kick ass members of the gang. Sexualities are open (there’s a bisexual triad romance – why choose?). There are diverse racial backgrounds. There’s some gender bending. The enemy is more covert, but widespread – a corrupt underground system. And the gang members enforce vigilante justice, while battling their own demons – ranging from trauma to learning difficulties.
Q. What do you love most about this series?
A. I love that Kiddo and Raze are so different – opposites attract. Their deepening, first time gay romance felt so intimate and sweet and real to write. I especially loved including so many diverse kinds of people without feeling the need to centre the story on their background, because people are people. I loved having them there, as they are, rolling with the punches as people do – rather than the storyline centring on any stereotypes.

The Doctor's Wolf Part One

Alexa Piper

Gordon is a nerdy forensic pathologist who enjoys talking to the corpses in the morgue. Oh, and he’s a vampire. The corpses—and his lab assistants—have been enough for Gordon for a very long time, but every now and then, Gordon wonders what he might find if he ventured outside his comfort zone. 
Adler considers himself a pretty normal homicide detective, except of course he turns into a wolf once a month. He can trust his instincts, and they tell him that nerdy, vampiric, and smart is what he needs, both in wolf and human form. The only question is, how to win the heart of a doctor who mostly talks to corpses? 
Can those two make it work in a world that has gotten used to vampires and werewolves, but maybe not so much to one of each dating? They will have to figure that out while working together to solve a string of copycat murders and keep their city safe. 
The Doctor’s Wolf takes you along to murder scenes, so there is blood and violence. Domestic abuse is discussed.
