A shark shifter romance by Regina Sage and narrated by August Roy.
Kaley Malcolm took a break from vet school to surf along the coast of California, but her fun in the sun is cut short by a fatal shark attack... Or so the rest of the world believes. The Essential Oceans Network has operatives hiding in plain sight, however, and Dr. Keith Durbin is one of the first to help Kaley. When he realizes she's not been attacked by a shark but a rogue shifter, and has been exposed to the venom that will make her one of his kind---the Ocean Kissed. He becomes her mentor, to guide her through acclimating to a new side of herself, courtesy of venom and magic: the 15 foot great white shark. Kaley, alone in the world after a traumatic event, is faced with a multi-layered identity crisis. One day, she's a gorgeous young woman in veterinary school. The next, she's splashing around eating gray seals in one bite. But in the process of coming to terms with her internal great white beast, she also discovers she's stifled another part of herself: the part that maybe doesn't want to be called she.This is a story of second chances---with ourselves, with each other, and with the world.

“Love is a luxury, my lord, one I simply cannot afford. When survival is of the utmost priority, one cannot simply go haring off after dreams.”
The Isle of Eidolon, 1812
Much like a page from a novel, the rich foreign lord is smitten at first sight with the beautiful housemaid. Theodora Maccowen simply never thought it would happen to her. Yet, Lord Rhidian Ríoga wants her as a wife, and what a lord wants?
He gets.
Whisked away to her new husband's home in the frigid far north, Theodora discovers Síochara House is more palace than manor and far grander than her wildest imagination could have conjured. Yet a darkness lingers within its magnificent halls that the dwindling winter sunlight cannot seem to dispel. Secrets lurk in every corner, the truth twisting and changing as much as the rooms and corridors do.
Plagued by dreams of monsters and occurrences which defy all rationality, with each passing day, the reality of Theodora’s situation grows ever more dire. Even her husband, whom she thought to be her ally, conceals as much as his house and people do. With nowhere to turn, she is caught between the struggle to be the perfect lady wife and her growing terror of what ought to be home... and the beasts she is certain dwell within.
For fans of The Invitation, Crimson Peak, and Raise the Blood, The Realm of Endless Night: The Secrets of Eidolon is a standalone dark and spicy gothic historical fantasy romance set in the Regency era and is part of the Otherkind Universe. This book is intended for mature audiences only. For more information regarding tropes and content, please visit the author's website.

A romance novella by Madison Diaz and narrated by August Roy.
ONE CLICK AWAY is a spicy contemporary romance novella about a stressed chief editor, a talented junior writer, a grumpy cat who owns the bed, and one perfect fake relationship.
Lincoln William Blake III's life goal has been to take over his family's magazine. He's dedicated his entire adult life to showing his grandfather he would be the perfect successor. When the retirement announcement finally arrived, Lincoln didn't receive his promotion. Instead, he must prove he's a family man before he inherits the family legacy.
Georgiana Lopez can't convince her family that she's finished with her ex. They won't listen to reason, so she posts an online ad, looking for a fake boyfriend. She never expected her insensitive, self-important boss would respond. Lincoln might be one of the hottest guys she has ever seen in her life, but that doesn't give him any right to critique her work harshly.
How can she fake date someone she hardly likes?
Lincoln's intention was only ever to encourage Georgiana's natural talent to help her grow as a writer. He never considered his delivery could push her away. What started out as a business arrangement somehow transforms into the realest relationship either of them has ever experienced.
Are they brave enough to take the leap?
ONE CLICK AWAY has explicit sex scenes not suitable for readers under the age of 18. This holiday romance includes an office setting, a fake relationship, high spice, low angst, no third act breakup, and a boss/employee dynamic too hot to resist.
