A Matter of Pride (Cougar Falls #5)
by Marie HarteThe fifth stand-alone romance in New York Times bestseller Marie Harte’s small town, shapeshifter romance series: Cougar Falls. Pride goeth before his fall.Dean Chastell has a reputation as a troublemaker and a player. It’s not his fault he’s attractive, funny, and hell on wheels between the sheets. Or that his pranks often leave the victim smarting. But for his older brother and pride leader to punish him with babysitting duty… The woman he’s supposed to watch is gorgeous, sexy as all get-out, and aggravating in the extreme. A prissy princess who’s demanding and refuses to get her claws dirty. She calls him “hillbilly” and needs a swift kiss — er, kick — in the pants. But when trouble comes calling, Dean finds he’ll do anything to keep her safe. She’s not nearly as annoying or stuck up as she seems. In fact, the princess brings out the prince in him he never knew existed. And he’ll move heaven and earth to keep her safe, and in his arms. This title has been previously released. Warning: A trickster cat finally meets his match in a proud feline used to getting her way. Hunters, hijinks, and danger abound as the pride comes together for one heck of a battle. “Fast action, snotty female cats and a bad boy alpha willing to put his life on the line!” The Bookslayer
A Matter of Profit
by Hilari BellThe long antennae -- five feet long? six? and covered with what looked like very short fur -- swept forward, quivering in the air over Ahvren's head. It took all his self-control to keep from stepping back. Then the antennae lifted away, without touching him, much to his relief. They remained cocked forward, but relaxed oscillating slowly. Strangers in a bizarre land -- that's what Ahvren's people, the Vivitare, are. They are the conquerors, the rulers now, of the T'Chin confederacy. But Ahvren is no longer sure what that means. After spending two years fighting a brutal war on another planet, here -- where not a single shot was fired -- victory doesn't seem quite so...victorious. Ahvren welcomes the peace, but he doesn't fully trust it. How could all these people surrender so easily? Are they all cowards? Not likely. And his mistrust is not unwarranted: Rumors abound of a plot to assassinate the Vivitare emperor. But Ahvren's disdain for war is even greater than his mistrust of peace. The last thing he wants is to rejoin the emperor's fleet and conquer the next planet. So he strikes a bargain with his father. If he can uncover the plot to assassinate the emperor, Ahvren can choose his own path. It's a challenge that will take more wits than strength, and Ahvren's not sure he's up for it. But it's also the most important test he's ever faced and his success is vital. For not only does the emperor's life depend on it, so does Ahvren's. In intricate detail, Hilari Bell weaves a tale of danger and suspense that will captivate readers and draw them into this wholly imaginative world.
