Kissing with Fangs
by Ashlyn ChaseThere's Something He's Never Told Her... When her workplace burned down, Claudia should've taken it as a sign to move on--and not just professionally. She's been secretly lusting after her mysterious boss, Anthony Cross, for years. There's no way she should agree to help him rebuild if she wants to keep her heart intact, and yet it's impossible to stay away... The flames that destroyed Anthony Cross's beloved bar are nothing compared to the heat he feels every time he lays eyes on Claudia. But he can't have her--it's against paranormal law for a vampire to date a human. Besides, he has some dangerous enemies, and one in particular already has her sights on Claudia. He owes her the truth--both about his feelings and his vampire nature--which means their lives are about to get hotter than ever... Praise for Flirting Under a Full Moon: "Hot sex scenes and a breezy tone with a nice, happily-ever-after ending makes...a fun read."--Booklist "A wonderful start to a very lighthearted series."--Night Owl Romance Reviewer Top Pick

Kitchen Curse: Stories

Dark, sexual, scatological, violent, and mordantly funny, these fractured fables span city and country, animal and human, myth and politics. Like nothing else, Kurniawan’s stories bury themselves in the mind. His characters and insights are at once hauntingly familiar, peculiar, and twisted.
