Wild After Dark (ePub)

'Beyond the Poison Chalice' by Helena Maeve Coveting the enemy is simply to die for. Claudia Salizar has given blood, sweat and tears to the tenuous armistice between the factions that inhabit St. Louis. She rules the north side with an iron fist, striving to keep the peace between vampires, werewolves and humans no matter the cost. Stumbling across two mysterious intruders who may jeopardize everything she's worked for is no small inconvenience. The pair need safe passage out of the vampire quarter and they're willing to negotiate. Claudia is immediately drawn to Silver, a human with an unusually delectable scent whose tantalizing touch brings her to the height of ecstasy. His taciturn companion is harder to crack, but Claudia has met her fair share of werewolves and giving herself to Lucan awakens desires she has too long suppressed. Justice is soon the furthest thing from Claudia's mind, but colluding with outsiders can have unforeseen ramifications. It's not long before running Silver and Lucan out of town seems like the only sensible option. Time for Claudia to decide what she values more—her hard-won reputation or the two men in her bed? 'Steal Your Soul Away' by Elizabeth Coldwell In Brighton, the undead come alive when the sun goes down. Can a vampire and a werewolf put their differences aside and join a human in the ultimate threesome? Angelique is not like other burlesque dancers. For one thing, she's been a vampire for over two hundred years. Her rule has always been 'look but don't touch', until she meets hot young sculptor Tom. But she's also attracted to his friend, Lucas, even though she knows him to be a lycan—the last creature she'd ever want to get involved with. Desire and distrust mix in an explosive combination as Angelique is drawn closer to both Tom and Lucas. Tom Lawless is a star on the rise about to exhibit his sculptures at the Cities After Dark show at Brighton Pavilion. When he sees beautiful dancer Angelique, it's lust at first sight and his need for her doesn't fade, even when he learns she's one of the undead. If only he could make her realise that his best friend Lucas is a cool guy and not a threat, their twosome could become a very happy threesome. Lucas Canning has secrets he doesn't feel comfortable sharing. Just how do you tell your closest friend that you sometimes need to shift into wolf form? And now that friend is dating a gorgeous woman vamp. Lucas is crazy about Angelique but can't get involved with her without hurting Tom. Perhaps the night of the exhibition will give him a chance to show her he's not the bad guy in all this and finally give his animal passion free rein. Because everything gets a little wild when the sun goes down... 'Taken In' by Wendi Zwaduk Find what you need at the Store Front. Blood, sex...we have it all just for you.
