‘What is it?’ she asked.
‘I love the joy in you. It’s infectious.’
Grace chewed her lip. ‘That’s nice, but what is really bothering you? Don’t make me go in there and fish it out.’
‘I’d like to see you try that. I’ve been working on my shielding. You may only get past my guard if I’m unconscious and I trust’—He poked her softly on the nose—‘that you will be honourable.’
‘I always am honourable.’ She looked from side to side. ‘Well, mostly…’ She would never stop being embarrassed about the under-endowed rumour. ‘And that’s not it. Spill.’
‘Are you really okay with holding off on having children?’ His voice was hushed.
‘Of course I’m okay with it. I want a couple of years to work over your body and then maybe, just maybe, I’ll think of sharing you with a child.’
Declan gaped at her for a moment and then dissolved in a fit of laughter.
‘What did I say?’
‘You work over my body? A little thing like you?’
Her grin was very wide. ‘Yes, a little thing like me. Now, if you would just cooperate by taking off your clothes, I think we should start, unless I have to bring out Randy Roger.’
Her man erupted off the bed and had her flat on her back and naked in thirty seconds. ‘I’m afraid your predilection for small, underendowed appliances will have to end.’
‘You think so?’
He ground his heavy erection and against her. ‘I know so.’
Grace sighed with pure pleasure as Declan very slowly, very gently made love to her, with his mind and with his body.
I love you, Declan Mallory

And I love you, Grace Riordon

This isn’t your mum’s Bewitched…
Elena Denholm is a mild-mannered half witch. As a favour to her cousin, she agrees to meet with top Sydney lawyer, Jake Royston, to negotiate a property deal. Sparks fly immediately, but before they can even take a sip of wine, let alone explore where the sizzle might go, Jake is hit by a love spell and is helpless against his feelings for Elena.
Jake may be at her mercy, but Elena is keeping her hands off—exploiting humans is a no-no. But Jake’s good looks and powers of persuasion are breaking down her resolve, and Elena knows she must do something fast.
Desperate to set things right before her resolve crumbles, Elena begins a frantic search to find the witch or warlock who hexed Jake and return him to his right mind, even if it means breaking her own heart…
Curses Once Spoken
Carly Drake
In
Words Once Spoken,
we met Evelyn, the normal girl with an extraordinary secret. Now we meet the men who love her…
Prince Liam and Lord Devon may be mortal enemies, but they’re suffering from the same affliction: they’re both in love with the same woman, Evelyn, the human-raised woman awaiting her coronation as Queen of the Fey.
Liam and Evelyn may have fallen in love, but his blood curse keeps him from taking his place by her side in Faery. Lord Devon has time, family, and lineage on his side. But Evelyn is no ordinary Fae, and she’s not going to wait around for fate to decide.
On a quest for a cure, both Liam and Devon will vie for Evelyn’s love, and a chance to rule Faery by her side.
The MacGregor
Jenny Brigalow
In
Children of the Mist,
we discovered the secret history of the Children. Now, in the wilds of Scotland, one of them has come of age…
Megan MacGregor has lived her life off the grid, in complete secrecy. Now she’s all grown up, and needs what every female werewolf before her has needed: a mate.
Tracking one down in the lonely wilds of Argyll will be no easy task, but Megan is no ordinary woman. When she finds Sean Duncan, she’ll do anything to keep him. But Sean has secrets and a past of his own, and Megan might get more than she bargained for in a mate.
Chosen Thief
Scarlett Dawn
The second saga in the bestselling, groundbreaking Forever Evermore series begins with
Chosen Thief,
where the life of a skilled lawbreaker becomes much more than she ever wanted…
Caroline Jules knows death is imminent. She’s only 22, but as an inmate of Death Row in the most secure Mystical jail, what else could her future hold?
Caro has no idea. Her solitary, transient life is about to get flipped on its head when it is revealed that she is the new Prodigy Elemental, and she has responsibilities and ties that she can’t ever escape. Caro is attempting to run from a brutal past, but the Rulers have other plans for this thief’s future.
But the transition from a self-contained existence to life with the other Prodigies, the Kings and Queens, and even the Elders was never going to be easy, and Caro has secrets she’s loath to share. Suddenly she has friends, mentors, lovers—and they all want to know more about her than she is willing to reveal.
Will Caro ever escape the darkness of all she is, or will she fall deeper into the life that has been chosen for her?
