NO MORE MASQUERADE – PAYNE/BLUE BOOK #2 $35.00 TRADE P/BACK Book #1 No Prince Charming. Behind every good man is the love of an even better woman. Those were just pretty words before I met Claire Montgomery. Before my fairy queen burst into my life, I didn’t recognize the bastard in my morning mirror, but her love has given me the strength to face the imposter, even embrace him. With Claire at my side, I’m the

king I always wanted to be, the Killian Stone I always dreamed of becoming. Which means for once, I want the mask guarding my secret to stay right where it is. If you want the grown-up fairy tale…learn to love the dark side. Profound sentiment. Wish I could get onboard with it, but the prince in pinstripes has other ideas. Life has been a dream since Killian burst into the ball offering the perfect fit—his heart and mine. But the treasures he bestows have become his armor, hiding the man I yearn to know. I refuse to open his little velvet box until he opens himself, letting me see even the dark hallways of his soul. LAVOS – LAURANN DOHNER BOOK #5 $40.00 TRADE P/BACK Start with Drantos. Jadee Trollis knows a little something about things that go bump in the night. Thanks to a father obsessed with myths, legends, and the paranormal, Jadee was dragged around the world in his pursuit of everything from ghosts to Sasquatch as a child. She got away from all that craziness in her teens, seeking a normal life as an adult. A trip to Alaska to visit her father quickly turns into a nightmare. Jadee ends up trapped in her father's tricked-out RV, hiding from the dangerous Vampires outside. Lavos is the hottest man she's ever seen when he comes to her rescue. He growls, has some seriously strange but beautiful eyes, and he's not human. But returning to the lower forty-eight might not be the safety net she's expecting, and the normal life Jadee craves more than anything means never seeing Lavos again. When she finds herself in need of his help, it seems her new normal may be back in Alaska, waiting in her VampLycan's arms.

Even worse, Kristof is the CFO of Dark Wolf Enterprises—and is the one person who can pull the plug on the job that will take her company to the next level. Then there are the assassins who can jump from three stories up and still be able to run away. Kristof has no intention of giving in to his inner wolf and claiming Trudy. She’s human. Too fragile to withstand being a shifter’s mate. But the need to protect her is stronger than his resolve, and his desire is more powerful yet. He’ll fight with everything he has to keep her safe, both from those who would hurt her and from himself.

But with one man convinced he is at the very brink of madness and the other hiding his real identity, only true love can make this an affair to remember.

But after moving into a new house together, disturbing incidents occur and Guy grows evasive, secretive. What the hell is going on, she wonders? Then, a woman hired to cater their dinner party is brutally murdered. Her nightmares may in fact hold the key to unlocking the truth and unmasking the murderer.

MADE FOR YOU – MELISSA MARR $6.99— GREAT SPECIAL BUY, LIMITED STOCK. When Eva Tilling wakes up in the hospital, she's confused-who in her small town could have hit her with their car? And why? It seems impossible that anyone would have it out for the town darling. Thanks to her

family's distinguished history and her own unassailable reputation in old-money Jessup, Eva is universally liked. But she has little time to consider the question when she finds that she's awoken with a strange new skill: the ability to foresee people's deaths when they touch her. Eva is struggling to understand just what these visions mean when a slew of murders takes place back home. The victims, all classmates, are discovered alongside eerie messages that tie the incidents to her. There is a killer on the loose, and he is after Eva.
