Affinity by Dana Wright
Behind the shadows lies the truth…
 
A magic mirror and a houseful of ghosts await Kristen when fate leads her to Wanderly House. Secrets and spirits consume her days, but one look in the magic mirror and her heart falls fast. A mask, a cloak, and a key leading her to an enchanted evening in the faery garden might be Kristen’s end as all that glitters may well have sharp teeth.
 
Magic mirror on the wall…
 
Connor is trapped in Faery. With only a view through a bewitched mirror to the real world, his attention is nabbed by a curious cat shifter with a ghostly following. Can he find a way to break the spell that binds him so he can reach the girl that haunts his dreams?
 
When the forces of Faery and Wanderly House collide, will Kristen and Connor’s love be enough to save them?
Water Woman by Claire Davon
Sparks fly when a Spanish water woman, and an African two-horned horse shifter meet at a masquerade. Kimoni has gone to ask Isidora to use her skills to aid him with his ailing grandfather. When strangers claiming to be Isidora’s relatives try to force her to share her powers, the pair is plunged into danger. Isidora and Kimoni look for a way to fight the ruthless intruders, while also saving his grandfather.
 
Using their combined powers, they meet the challenge, all the while conscious of the growing attraction between them. It has been a long time since Isidora has met a man who calls to her as Kimoni does. The strong, handsome horse shifter sings to her senses, and she sees a matching spark in his eyes. Can love between them blossom? Can a water woman and a horse shifter find happiness together?
Dragon Law by Nemma Wollenfang
The kingdom of Baelin is under attack. A terrifying dragon rains fire down on the capital city, burning all in his path. The people’s one hope lies with the Princess Draxa, who – in accordance with an ancient rite – must willingly sacrifice her future to sate the beast’s wrath.
For her kingdom, Draxa will do it. She will leave Andre, the fierce soldier she loves with all of her heart, don her red cloak, and make the treacherous trip into the heart of the mountain, to face the monstrous Lord Siouxlian in his lair.  
Feather Fall by Sheryl Winters
Brooke Adair’s autism has turned the world into a constant puzzle, especially when it comes to men. When she meets fellow swan shifter Blake Landen in a dream, though, Brooke feels a potential connection to someone who could understand her. If she lets him.
 
But trusting in Blake takes a whole lot more courage than Brooke has. After all, if she doesn’t take this leap, Brooke might miss out on meeting the one man she could actually learn to understand.
Duty or Desire by Sharon Hughson
Alyona Wyrden dwells contentedly in her elven realm, but when her brother disappears, she travels to Earth to bring him home.
 
Camden Kerr hunts down magical artifacts, keeping them out of the wrong hands. The amulet that draws Alyona to her brother is just the sort of object Cam’s after. The way his flesh responds to the lithe, blonde necklace wearer is a different matter altogether. When their paths keep crossing, Camden decides they can work together-until he discovers her elven heritage.
 
Can their attraction defeat prejudice? Which will rule—duty or desire?

Excerpt #1 – Affinity by Dana Wright

“Are you really there?”
“Are you?” Came the snarky response, his lips twisted up in a haughty smile. “How do I know you’re not some pixie or wood sprite come to lure me away?”
“A pixie?”
“Aye. One wrong move and they dust you. Best not to sit too close to their secret gardens.”
Kristen laughed, but she was intrigued. “I’ve never seen a pixie.”
“You can’t be serious.” The boy raised his eyebrows. “Haven’t you ever been outside? How old are you? Twelve?”
“How can you be? Lying about pixies…” Kristen crossed her arms in front of her and raised her chin. “And it isn’t polite to ask a girl her age.”
Her face burned from his question. Asking her age. What a jerk. What kind of magic mirror was this anyway?
“Oh. Lying am I?” He moved away from the mirror and she heard a loud yelp and a small voice screaming. The boy appeared in the glass, red faced and grinning, a small winged body poking out from his fist. “If I get dusted for this…”
The creature squirmed in his grasp and bit him. “Grabby Fae. I ought to pix you into next week. Rotten boy you are, Connor.”
“Oww!” Connor grunted and released the pixie, the small faery waving his fist and shouting.
“I take it that was a pixie.”
“Mmm. Yes. Any more questions?”
Kristen glanced behind him. “Yes. What’s that sparkly stuff?”
“Umph!” Connor yelped as the glittery powder connected the back of him and he dropped out of sight.
“Connor?”
“Here.”
“Are you okay?”
A groan drifted up. “I’ll tell you in a few days.”
“A few days?”
No answer.
