Reaper Unexpected
Debbie Cassidy - 2020
One day the world was normal, and the next, it was filled with ghosts. And then the reapers came. Blood-sucking hot dudes with wings and wicked scythes. They took control, and now we have a system.
Now we have Necro city, the hub of all things untethered.
As a soul relocation agent, it’s my job to rehouse the dead until the reapers come to collect, but with so few of those dudes about, the wait isn’t pretty. Thank goodness for decent coffee, frosted donuts, and a pending promotion.
Things are looking good until they’re not.
One bar fight and a dead reaper later, I’m left holding the scythe.
Not just any scythe, but a scythe belonging to one of Lilith’s four favored sons—the most powerful reapers in the world.For some reason, it’s chosen me.Now, three very large, very pissed off reapers are on my case.It looks like that promotion is going to have to wait.
A kickass Urban fantasy with a why choose romance. Vampires, ghosts, angels, and demons. Perfect for readers who enjoy forbidden romance, enemies to lovers, or friends to lovers.

Fate's Fools
Ophelia Bell - 2018
What she wasn’t born with was a soul. It’s all she ever wanted, but the one thing she can never have. When Fate was handing out those precious things, it must have overlooked her, and a soul is required to unlock the dormant elemental powers within her. Not to mention the only thing that will ever give her a chance of finding the thing she truly desires: a soul mate. Not only has Fate forgotten her, it seems dead set on destroying the only part of her life that gives her purpose. An ancient bloodline of mixed-breed humans linked to Deva is being hunted by a pack of rogue fate hounds, and her link to the bloodline means she’s the only one who can save them. She doesn’t count on her quest taking her straight into the arms of a dragon, and she definitely isn’t prepared for the futile desire he incites within her, or the frustrating passion his ursa friend draws out of her. She shouldn’t want the pair so much, but when they both fall victim to the hounds, it may take nothing less than her love to save them. Warning: This series is a spinoff of Ophelia Bell's epically sexy "Immortal Dragons" series. It is a fast-burn HOT and steamy RH odyssey, with some M/M content, not meant for the faint of heart (or libido)... #whychoose!

Elements of Mischief
Tate James - 2017
Read with a glass of wine and a smile! Four hunky, supernatural plumbers. One reluctant, slightly drunk human. A match made in heaven … or in the bathroom, rather. My name is Arizona Smoke, and I'm the proud owner of a house haunted by my dead Gram, best friend to a cocktail dress loving werewolf, and apparent soul mate to four plumbers who also happen to be elemental dragons. Besides rippling pectorals, tattoos, and … uh, nice, long pipes, the guys also have control of the elements. Supernatural law (whoever heard of such a thing anyway?) dictates that since I stumbled upon the guys in their alternate forms, I have to marry them. All four of them. Oh, and apparently one lousy (okay, awesome) night of sex means that I'm an elemental, too—and no amount of magical penicillin can cure this disease. All I wanted was hot running water and toilets that flushed, but now I'm dealing with monsters lurking in the sewers, supernatural politics, and four penniless (but totally hot) plumbers living in my crumbling old Victorian. I'm Ari Smoke, wine aficionado, ex-barista, and a girl who is completely out of her element. Having four hot husbands is nice … but the death threats, not so much.

Daughter of Shadows
Zandria West - 2019
The hours are brutal. And the clientele is... interesting. Every night, I cross the Barrier to the demon realm to sling drinks at Hell on Earth, a bar on the edge of Darktown. I’ve always been fascinated by demons. It’s a fascination I’ve never quite learned to control and it just might get me killed.

Determined to find out what the mark means, I do the unthinkable: I venture alone into the demon realm. What I discover is terrifying. Things are changing in Darktown. The ancient enchantment that maintains the Barrier between worlds is failing. Demons are breaking into the human realm, ready to kill. And I just might hold the key to restoring the Barrier.

Revelations
A.P. Foote - 2019
Supernaturals aren’t real and the only thing you have to fear are humans. Got that? Okay. Now, forget all of it, because that’s not my world. Moving from Plant City, Florida to Seattle, Washington was supposed to be my do-over. No reminders of the pain and no supernaturals. But I was very, very wrong. The angels disappeared long ago--so we thought--but vampires, demons, warlocks, shifters…you name it, they’re all over the place. They control this town and everything in it. Four of them even claim I am their destined mate. The worst part? The demon, Azazel, wants me. And not in the best way. I’ve just discovered I’m Lucifer’s daughter as well as the most powerful Nephilim on the planet. But that doesn’t stop Azazel. He wants my soul and will do anything to have it. With the help of my mates and a few unexpected friends I’ve picked up along the way, we will eliminate the threat while making a statement to anyone else who tries to disrupt order on this plane or any other. Easy, right? Warning. Revelations is a dark reverse harem series. Contains adult language, sexual content, graphic violence, including death, and deals with sensitive issues such as unwanted physical contact and PTSD. Reader discretion advised. Revelations is a medium burn, 'why choose' romance with some M/F/M scenes. Be careful who you trust. A listening ear can be a running mouth, and that could get someone else killed.
Heaven Sent
Maribel Fox - 2018

Always waiting for an attack. Fae don't get to be my age without being paranoid, grizzled bastards. Plenty of people have tried to kill me -- not an insignificant number of them from Heaven.His friend is gorgeous too, but so sophisticated -- I doubt I've got a chance in hell with him."What about the girl?" I ask, eyes traveling back to Ava, admiring the stubborn slant of her brow. She's the kind of feisty woman that's hard to crack, but so satisfying when they finally submit.Of course, I could always team up with the IRS agent who's investigating them. I don't want to snitch on my customers, but how can I turn away a man that looks that good in a suit?The story never changes. Humans are always reactive, barbaric, requiring far too much care and finesse for my liking. Luckily, there is another part of humans that never changes -- respect for authority.Did the door just slam? Crap. I may as well admit it -- I've got the hots for FOUR different men!I should've had the sense to walk into this place quietly, to take stock of things before making my presence known. If I'd walked in quietly, I could've backed out just as quiet, no one the wiser.The shops are charming, the residents are gorgeous, and the beer is hot cold. Welcome to Lupine Bay -- a beach town so enthralling you'll just have to stay!Author's Note: This is a light-hearted, medium-burn, "why choose" novel.
