With time running out, Ash faces an excruciating choice: Can he use his powers not to save a life but to take it? Abandoned at birth, Jenna Bandelow was told that the magemark on the back of her neck would make her a target. But when the King’s Guard launches a relentless search for a girl with a mark like hers, Jenna assumes that it has more to do with her role as a saboteur than any birth-based curse. Though Jenna doesn’t know why she’s being hunted, she knows that she can’t get caught. Thrown together by chance, Ash and Jenna will come to rescue each other in ways they cannot yet imagine.

“Yates has written another winner with her latest Western romance…super-hot encounters keep things interesting…This one is a real charmer!”

—RT Books Reviews (4 stars)

If the devil wore flannel, he’d look like Ace Thompson. He’s gruff. Opinionated. Infernally hot. The last person that Sierra West wants to ask for a bartending job—not that she has a choice. Ever since discovering that her “perfect” family is built on a lie, Sierra has been determined to make it on her own. Resisting her new boss should be easy when they’re always bickering. Until one night, the squabbling stops…and something far more dangerous takes over. Ace has a personal policy against messing around with staff—or with spoiled rich girls. But there’s a steel backbone beneath Sierra’s silverspoon upbringing. She’s tougher than he thought, and so much more tempting. Enough to make him want to break all his rules, even if it means risking his heart… MAISEY YATES sold her first book at age twenty-three. Since then it’s been a whirlwind of sexy alpha males and happily-ever-afters, and she wouldn’t have it any other way. She divides her writing time between dark, passionate category romances set just about everywhere on earth and light, sexy contemporary romances set practically in her backyard. Yates lives in rural Oregon with her three children and her husband.

Valoree no longer has to masquerade and scourge the oceans as Captain Red. She has been named heir to Ainsley Castle. But no executor would ever hand over the estate to an unmarried pirate wench—no matter to whom she’d been born. And the will distinctly states that in order to inherit, Valoree must be married to a nobleman … and pregnant. Upon learning that, the virgin captain is ready to return to the seas—but her crew has other ideas— and for those rascally cusses she would do anything. If they could find a way to put on her a sweet face that would fool the ton, she would handle the rest. But to herself she swears one thing: she will only marry a man who fires her blood, a man who is not afraid of … a Lady Pirate.

Her only choice is to trust Reid Allister, an escaped convict whose piercing gaze awakens something deep inside her. Reid is nothing like her other captors. For this hardened felon, Grace Reeves isn’t just out of his league—she’s from another planet, but that doesn’t stop him from wanting her. Escaping Devil’s Rock was tough, but resisting this woman could be the end of him. For a man with nothing to lose, protecting her—claiming her as his own—becomes more necessary than his next breath.
