Not just any kind of angel though, she's a hybrid being—sex demon and sex angel. And she's in need of being tamed.

She's defiant and he's determined, but the lust and hunger hit them both between the eyes and below the belt. Sex is hard and hot, a little kinky and a whole lot naughty.

Bath Time for Big Mama

We've spruced up the Mothership warehouse and offices for tours during RomantiCon weekend. Randy even cleaned Manaconda's Condo. (She's our 25-foot python.) Then he broke out the power washer and shined up the tour bus. As soon as he finishes giving author April Ash and her hubbie a tour, he'll drive Big Mama to the hotel so RomantiCon attendees can see her.

Haunted by the ghost of a Mayan shaman, archaeology student Lauren Halpern unearths a tragic romance that she and rugged lead archaeologist Deven Chandler had shared in a past life thirteen hundred years ago. Deven is struggling with local officials who are threatening to shut down his project because of rumors about antiquity thieves in the jungle. Lauren’s visions of the past only complicate matters in the present. Despite their differing beliefs in the supernatural, the wild and exotic jungle soon lures them into a passionate love affair.

The shaman’s ghost warns Lauren that unless she finds a jade owl artifact all the members in the field crew will be in danger. But to unearth the artifact she must trespass on restricted land, risk professional disaster and the unknown menace that threatens to repeat their tragic history.

Pitch Dark

Alyssa must protect her grandfather’s cutting-edge, environmentally friendly oil sands extraction technology—and his life. Forced into dealing with her grandfather’s chosen partner, Connor, a wildcard business mogul and ex-CIA spy, she knows she can’t trust him.

Connor resents that Alyssa has the final say on his multimillion dollar partnership. When someone tries to kill them both, they are thrust together and their mutual attraction sparks hot enough to heat the sheets to searing intensity, despite their mutual distrust.

Together they race between his headquarters in Colorado and the oil sands of Alberta to stay one step ahead of the terrorists who are determined to stop them at any cost. It will take their combined cunning and courage to survive the explosive and treacherous covert world of espionage, betrayal, terrorists and spies. But even if they do, can they survive the secrets they are keeping from each other?
