The Prince and His Bedeviled Bodyguard
Charlie Cochet - 2019
Especially a wolf shifter, whose presence alone was an insult to my princely principles. As Prince of the Ocelot Shifters, I prided myself on my infallible feline instincts, uncompromisable dignity, and flawless fashion sense. If having a canine follow me around at all times wasn’t bad enough, I now faced the most important moment of my entire life. The time had come to prove I was worthy of my crown. If only I could find a way to get rid of the pesky bodyguard. Grimmwolf When the King of All Shifters asked me to guard Prince Owin, I admit I had no idea what to expect. Cat shifters tend to be a little intense, not to mention kinda cranky. Owin was no exception, though he seemed crankier than most. Being his bodyguard was proving to be one of the greatest challenges of my life—but not nearly as great as convincing him there was something special between us. When Owin is faced with a perilous quest to prove his worth, I was determined to keep him safe, even if the same couldn’t be said of my heart.
The Devil You Know
Meredith Spies - 2020
the third. At least in the top ten.But the fact I was kind of married to Ellery Hebert, highborn son of the demon-born clans, wasn't something I really considered a mistake. Mostly because no one but the two of us, and the nice folks at Sweetbriar College, knew. And it was kind of up in the air about whether Ellery really knew anymore or not. I hadn't seen him in years, not since the day after graduation when I came back to our campus apartment to find divorce papers on my pillow and his things cleared out to the walls. That was three years ago and I'd moved on with life but I have the devil's own luck...ELLERY...Once upon a time there was a handsome prince with, er, assets like a peach and sarcasm sharp enough to kill a man.When Simon didn't return the divorce papers, I had hope.Kind of.I knew we would never be anything more than conveniently married, but the longer it went without him signing those papers, the more that little seed of hope grew into a giant tree of stupidity deep in my heart. We were never supposed to be together, not according to the demon-born and definitely not according to the faerie folk that had raised Simon. But still, I had hopes.Maybe if I'd told Simon first that I was ass over teakettle in love with him, that would've helped.Once upon a time, nosy relatives got involved and things went very pear-shaped.Every magical clan, culture, and race is coming together to decide whether or not we make ourselves known to the human world once more. For centuries, we've been hiding in plain sight for the most part, living as humans when we can and disappearing into our little folds of the universe when we can't. When my marriage to Simon is discovered by my mother and used as an opening salvo in the fight to get demon-born recognized as a part of the magical community, I had no idea how horribly everything would unfold or how it would end.The Devil You Know is approximately 54k words of MM paranormal romance with low angst, snarking, awkward reunions, a marriage of convenience, too many antiques of decided rudeness, bad faeries, good demons, a death sentence and a life sentence.
