When darkness falls, monsters come to play.

Heat. Claws. Teeth.
They rake over your body and draw you in.
There is no one here but you and them; only their breath on your neck and your pulse throbbing in your veins.
They creep from the shadows, from the darkest of dreams. They are here to take. Conquer. Claim.
You know what they are, and terror seizes your breath.
But you open yourself to the monsters.
And you let them in.

Ten exceedingly sexy short romances that will give you goosebumps in all the right places.

Reticent Desire Publications and the monster-loving readers’ group, Monsters, Demons & Knotting, oh My! is thrilled to present this limited-edition anthology featuring steamy encounters with creatures both paranormal and alien.
Our guys may be monsters—but this Halloween, your heart won’t be all they’ll eat….

Nearly twenty years ago, Ruby was stolen from her pack by an alpha who saw her as the key to his power.

Now she’s free, but freedom comes with its own problems.

Her old pack comes calling, and they aren’t the sort of visitors that come bearing gifts. They bring danger, threats, and for whatever reason, Ash.

To quell the tension between her old alpha and her new one, Ruby volunteers to go with Ash on a mission to find information about lupine being hunted. Working together leads to more discoveries between themselves than anything else, however, when Ruby’s honed defenses prove flimsy against Ash’s charm and persistence.

The last thing she needs is to play with a younger lover, especially when lupine are going missing.

With too many questions and mysteries floating around her, will Ruby find the balance between her lupine loyalties and her own free will? Her heart has been broken before, and now she’s protecting her very spirit.

They might be meant for each other, but they’re worlds apart … literally

Who knew that saving a fae duke’s life could earn you a one-way ticket to another planet? Brook Donovan certainly didn’t. But that’s exactly what happens when she rescues one from a speeding car. Now, not only does she have to learn how to be a member of the royal court and acclimate to life on a magical new planet, but she must also deal with her overwhelming attraction to the duke—a man who fully intends to return to Earth, leaving Brook light years behind.

Duke Kerren Aodhan of Weylan Barrows never intended to return home. He’d been bored there for far too long and was ready to start fresh on Earth. But his near-death experience changed everything. Now obligated to help Brook settle into her new life, Kerren has to return to Prism—at least temporarily. Coming home unearths more unseen obstacles, however. Mainly, can he keep his growing feelings for her from trapping him on his home world forever? 

Circumstances seem determined to keep them apart, but fate (and a matchmaker named Gerri Wilder) has other ideas. Can Kerren and Brook bridge the chasm between them? Or is their happily ever after Royally Screwed?

She just found her pack, but now she may have to leave it.

Charlotte is new to the lupine life, having been raised in the human world. She’s still learning her place as a wolf shifter and a member of the Bronze pack.

Everyone has a task within the pack, and Charlotte is eager to find her path. As if that isn’t complicated enough, she finds herself longing for romance.

Just when she thinks she’s found a direction, news arrives that may lead to her long-lost family. Somewhere out there, are her parents looking for her?

And if she finds them, will she be ready to leave the pack that took her in? And what of the love she’s found along the way?

*This most recent edition of Night Revelations has been expanded to include the previously separate sequel, Night Discovered.

A stubborn wolf. An antiquated betrothal. And a lot of broken rules.

Sierra's a wolf on the verge of losing it all.

In the past year she lost her brother, her status within the pack, and all hopes at the future she'd fought for. Now she's got one last chance to right her wrongs and avoid exile, and his name is Viktor Fekete.

Viktor's the next in line to lead within the pack, and he's tasked to help Sierra prove herself before her time is up. Things backfire when Viktor and Sierra's clashing tempers become sparks of chemistry, however. It's one mistake too many, and Sierra is faced with a harsh truth.

She's chaos walking, and she's tearing apart the lives around her. Can she atone for her past selfishness and find forgiveness from the ones she's hurt? Or is she doomed to be a reckless lone wolf?

Night Forgiven is book five in a series of standalone wolf shifter romances. This is a wild, steamy book with knotting, violence, and mature language. If you don't like your alpha men growly and your love scenes dirty, this isn't the paranormal romance for you.

Demyan, Leo, and Myron have spent their lives underground and secluded as part of a dragon shifter race thought long extinct. One thing can make them sneak out from the safety of their clan, risk exposure after hundreds of years in secrecy, and head into the unknown—the chance at finding their one. They seek the mate that will complete the spiritual bond formed at their births.

Mara is the “all work and no play” type, but when she kicks back, she knows what she wants: Strong drinks, tasty food, and watching shifters compete in fighting tournaments. 

Then a night of fun is derailed when she catches the scent she knows to be her mate's. Its trail leads her into the hands of a mischievous paranormal matchmaker. For the sake of finding her soul mate, Mara’s pride is forced to take a back seat as she begs the matchmaker for help.

Too bad that help guides her onto a path as surprising as it is confusing.

Everything is changing, and nothing is as expected. What compromises will they make to entwine their four paths into one?

Once More, With Dragons is a full-length STANDALONE paranormal romance reverse harem with explicit sexual themes, strong language, and graphic shifter-on-shifter action. As part of the Paranormal Dating Agency, expect a cameo from everyone’s favorite witty matchmaker, Gerri Wilder.

Drugged, collared, and tortured in a lab; somewhere between surviving Sky, and trying to kill her, Kalle develops feelings for the villainous hunter. Can they escape the roles forced on them and fight for a chance at forever?

Lone wolves aren't satisfied wolves.

This is a lesson Wyatt has learned the hard way. After pissing off his would-be mate and picking a fight—and losing—to his friend and mentor, Wyatt takes off. He throws himself into his mission, running between the many lupine packs scattered through the States, solving problems and offering assistance where he can.

But he keeps going back to where it all went wrong. A little city where he found his true self, and hated what was revealed. Except now, every time he visits he's drawn closer to the charms of a human woman named Nancy.

She's everything he doesn't need. I mean hell, she's human. He needs a spirited wolf to keep him interested. She's just a bookkeeper who likes museums and art.

So why can't he leave her alone?

Outside the hustle and bustle of the human world, exist the lupine. These wolf shifters live and die by their own laws. Of course, they love by them as well. Experience the thrill, the danger, and the passion of these mysterious packs.
