Tangling With Topper


Donna McDonald - 2016

It means no out of country safaris or whitewater river rafting until Magic's latest witchery fiasco is over. Last time the witches of Magic opened the space travel portal, it was to reunite pregnant Earth witch Lacey with her Glacieran alien mate Frost. This time? It’s to let through some former alien superhero cop now turned animal catcher. Topper already caught most of the green meanies who'd snuck through on Frost's return trip to Earth. She feels confident she'll eventually catch the last three still missing. Why does everyone keep insisting she needs help? Nothing on either planet explains why the allegedly mature Glacieran male steps from the portal completely naked. Stark is bossy and controlling as well as incredibly rude. Topper doesn't care how handsome he is or how impressive a man package he’s sporting. On top of not caring one whit that he’s embarrassed her and all the witches gathered to help her, Stark is the most arrogant being Topper has ever met. This includes her three mythological Goddess friends--the Fates--who decide to amuse themselves by taking some of her powers away without telling her why. Getting some new friends is going to be on her to-do list. When the men in black suits and a nosy scientist arrive in the middle of their crisis, the additional troublemakers cap off the worst week Topper can ever remember having in her entire witchy life. The only bright spot is that Stark--for all his arrogance--turns out to be a sleek, sexy, and talented alien in bed. What he makes her feel is real magic and she intends to enjoy it while she can. He's the one male whose memories she won't need to wipe when it’s over because Stark’s leaving anyway. Enjoy another adventure set in S.E. Smith's Magic, New Mexico!

When she’s taken by a hostile group of the planet’s native people, however, she gets a lot more adventure than she ever bargained for. The Samou are a group of dragon shifters and Allison’s captors. Hakona, the man responsible for kidnapping her, is harsh, rude, and intimidating. But, when Allison finds herself trapped in a world filled with secrets, lies, and hate, she turns to the one person she shouldn’t for comfort—the man who took her. As the Samou’s lead warrior, Hakona will have to choose between the woman who’s captured his heart and the people he’s sworn allegiance to. The deeper they dive into their forbidden relationship, the more complicated their situation becomes. Sworn enemies, Allison and Hakona can’t fight the feelings quickly forming between them. The tension between the two opposing groups is building quickly, as the heat between Allison and Hakona grows, as well. Will she choose him over the safety of her own people? Will he risk losing everything to protect the one person he shouldn’t? Bonus Book: Dragons Unchained Historically, dragon shifters have always been some of the most powerful people in society. They're business men, politicians, inventors, scientists. People with clout and intelligence and status, and the money to get whatever they want out of life. And then there's Artemis, a powerful shifter in his own right who has settled down in a small town and owns a diner. He likes his easy, quiet life. Likes his routines and his well worn habits. He has his regulars at the diner and newcomers who like to gawk at him (you can't hide shifter blood, you just can't), and it suits him better than a well tailored suit and a desk ever would. He's not expecting anything to change, but when a young woman who's bruised and terrified shows up outside of his diner without a dime to her name and clearly running from something, the protective instinct and need to keep that he never thought he had rears his head, and leads him to want to keep her safe from all the things she's running from. Even if it means turning his quiet life upside down completely.
