Unicorn Unleashed by Crystal Dawn

Jespers didn’t know what to think of Daphne the lovely witch. If she wasn’t crazy about unicorns to the point of being obsessed, he’d mate her.

Daphne was half in love with Jespers, but he wasn’t a unicorn. She’d always known her true mate would be one so what was a witch to do? Maybe the mate summoning spell since it had worked for her cousin.

Will things work out for two lovers so unsure of each other? Can they just learn to trust their hearts or will they have to learn the hard way?

Excerpt (PG)

What the hell was wrong with him? Daphne should have never gotten him on the floor twice. She held out her hand again helping him up. This was getting a little embarrassing. Maybe she’d cast a spell on him? Yeah, he knew he was grasping at straws. This little female may have just improved her fighting skills significantly and he needed to expect more from her.

They got into position again and this time he held on longer. Her red hair fascinated him but he needed to push that to the back of his mind. He’d managed to ignore this attraction all this time but now it was hot and heavy. Why wasn’t it bothering her?

It was a sad commentary that her attention was on their sparring and she was doing a damn fine job. Did she not like him at all? Was she not feeling any attraction to him? That possibility sucked. So, did the fact that he was on the mat again. This time when she held out her hand to help him up, he took it and pulled her down into his arms.

She let out a surprised yip. “What the hell?”

To shut her up he claimed her lips with his own kissing her hard. Her mouth dropped open and his tongue slid in exploring and dueling with her tongue. Things were getting heated when he heard someone clear their throat. Daphne struggled to get up and he reluctantly released her. Now he looked to see who had interrupted them.

About the Author

When she’s not out hunting rogue vampires and werewolves, you can find Crystal Dawn out exploring the galaxy. She can do it all without ever leaving her computer. She kicks ass, takes names, and puts it all down for the enjoyment of her readers. At least that’s what I think she told me.

Writing came as a natural outlet for her overly creative mind. The start of her stories is the easy part. Finishing them is a little harder when all the stories are in there trying to get out. She loves reading, chocolate, fine sweet wine, and traveling among a large list of pursuits.

Her favorite people, after her family and close friends, are her readers who she says are some of the most wonderful people in this galaxy and the next.

Centaur’s Mate by Mary Winter

A power she was never told about and a destiny she never knew. Will Saraid overcome her fear of the forest to find her fated mate?

With her ailing aunt in need of care and companionship, Saraid Garwich moves to her family’s forest estate. She’d never liked visiting as a child. She hated camping or anything to do with bugs, getting dirty, and not having the comforts of modern living. Something about the forest had always seemed dangerous. When one night during a fever dream, her aunt tells her that her destiny lies within the heart of the woods, Saraid promises her aunt she’ll go. When she does, she sees something she never thought possible: a man turning into a centaur. More surprisingly, the man is Keilan, her aunt’s groundskeeper. She thinks both of them are crazy and makes plans to return to her life in New York. Except she can’t get the centaur, or the man, out of her mind. And with each passing day, it’s becoming harder and harder to leave.

Keilan Ceffyl needs to find his mate. His family has lived in the secret woods, one of the last vestiges of magic, for generations. When Saraid comes to tend to her ailing aunt, her destiny becomes intertwined with his. She needs to become the Guardian and accept her destiny as his mate. Without her, both of their lines will end and the consequences for the worlds of magic and of man, will be devastating. But how can he convince a pampered city girl that living and loving through the forest will save them both?

Excerpt

“Hello Serket.”

“Don’t call me that,” I hissed.

“Why not, it’s your name?” The man leaned back on my sofa with one of his legs against the other and waggled it about.

“No one calls me that.”

“I heard. Sera is it now? That’s not very different from Serket.”

“It doesn’t need to be. What are you doing here?” I recognised him. It was hard not to. All the gods knew one another.

“I’ve come to find you.”

“And now you have. Goodbye, Sed.” I waved in the direction of my front door, hoping he got the hint and left.

Instead, he chuckled. “Not so fast.”

“Yes, so fast. That was a nasty trick you played. Pretending to be a jackal just so I’d help you.”

About the Author

Laura is a USA Today Bestselling Author of paranormal romance, reverse harem, and contemporary romance. When she’s not writing, she can be found drinking ridiculous amounts of tea, trying to resist French Macaroons, and watching the Pitch Perfect trilogy for the hundredth time (at least!)
