  Honeytrap, I’m home! Signing up for an intergalactic dating app was not in my job description. But when the government agency I work for needs someone undercover to investigate a potential human trafficking ring, I’m the only woman for the job. Everyone in the agency says I’m too unfeminine and coarse to pull this off, but I’ll show them I can be as sweet as honey. The mark? A seven-foot-tall alien man named Hunnei Ral Xeric who looks like a bee-themed superhero. In our communications, Xeric is considerate and earnest—but that has to be a facade. Maybe my time here on Earth has jaded me, but Xeric isn’t like any man I’ve met before. It only gets worse when I start asking questions about his proboscis and he starts going off about how enjoyable he finds it to suck the nectar from between— This is supposed to be a sting operation, dang it! So why is my heart all abuzz? Planet WLN269 Needs Women is a new shared world series that imagines what it would be like if human woman decided ...

  I thought I escaped hell when I ran from the Sanctuary. Eden I was wrong. Hell found me on a Valentine's Day auction block, where men in black ties bid on virgins like livestock. Where the highest bidder owns you—body, mind, and soul. Vaughn Sutherland paid more for me than most people see in a lifetime. He put me in a room with silk sheets and locked doors. He touched me in ways that made me forget my own name. He never took what he bought, only taught me how much my body could betray me. So I ran. I made it three days before he found me. They say the devil is patient. They say he's cruel. They don't know Vaughn. He gave me freedom after he dragged me back—a house instead of a cell, choices instead of chains. But every door I open leads back to him. Every breath I take, he owns. And the worst part? I'm starting to forget why I wanted to leave. The Sanctuary stole her childhood.   Vaughn Sutherland bought her virginity.   And when she runs? He'll hunt her down and...

  Hit all the right buttons. When Garrett needs to give a new toy a trial run, he recruits some help… in a very Treasure Trove way. The winner of his makeshift competition calls upon some old friends who could use a little playtime with a toy that likes to make the rules and isn’t afraid to dole out punishment if they’re not followed. Slap and Tap is book 3 in the Treasure Trove Series. The stories are sequential but can be read as standalones. Treasure Trove is a sentient object playroom located in the basement of everyone’s favorite toy shop, Hidden Treasures. Created by one of the Kyleverse’s favorite meddlers, Garrett, it’s home to some objects you’ve met before and some you’ll love to meet. Unlike in the Kyleverse, while there are many happy endings, these aren’t true romances. Everyone will leave more than satisfied, though. Slap and Tap contains explicit material. It is intended for 18+ readers. My Review Nicole gives us readers no chance to slowly settle into the story befo...
