During the chaotic upheaval of his team, guys transferring, new guys coming in, and the veterans are left dealing with the loss of one of their own, Ryuu “Dragon” Shannon heads home for a visit to his Brooklyn neighborhood. He discovers that Jo is living with his mom, and to his shock, he finds his one-night stand with his tattoo artist produced a daughter, Ceri. He’d been drunk that night, and she’d been willing. As they work to navigate his newfound place in Jo and Ceri’s lives, he’s charmed by their sweet daughter and starts to fall for the girl he’d never gotten the chance to know and who has grown into a woman he can’t get off his mind.
Josephine Moretti is glad that Dragon is back for an extended leave. She remembered touching his body both when she gave him his distinctive tattoo and the night they spent together. A night that changed her life and…gave her Ceri. She’d had a thing for him, but had never gotten to know him as well as she hoped. He’d disappeared and she didn’t know how to get in touch with him. Now he was a Navy SEAL, and as far as she could tell, nothing had changed. Things were about to get complicated now that he was home and she wants her little girl to know her dad. But, Dragon has been away for a while, and Jo’s learned to take care of them both, but when a threat from Dragon’s past threatens them all, she finds that Dragon is every inch the hero she thought he was and maybe, just maybe, an amazing dad for Ceri.

If you’re the kind of person who’s willing to try something DIFFERENT, then you might love this enemies-to-lovers horse-shifter romantasy series. Are you ready for stallion shifters, strong, possessive heroes, and smart, yet flawed heroines? BOOK ONE: My Queendom for a HorseKristiana Liepa was supposed to use the money to save her family farm. She was NOT supposed to spend it all to save a massive, black stallion.But when she saw how he was being treated, what’s a vet to do?She had no idea that gorgeous beast was really a powerful (and morally gray) magician who had been cursed by a witch, or that she was the only one who could reverse the curse.And she couldn’t possibly have known how that one rash decision would irrevocably change her life. . . and his.Still not sure? Publisher’s Weekly said, “My Queendom for a Horse is an intriguing paranormal romance with a fresh and fun setup. [R]eaders will enjoy both the magical and romantic elements. The story of a shapeshifting horse is undoubtedly unique. The author puts a dynamic spin on fairytale tropes, while her knowledge and love of horses is evident throughout. A strong, confident female character takes center stage in this novel with her ability to talk to a cursed horse.”BOOK TWO: My Dark Horse PrinceMirdza Strelkova should have minded her own business on the long train ride, because she knew just how nasty violent men could be. Or perhaps that’s precisely why she stepped in to help the frightened mother and terrified child.But in her wildest dreams, she never imagined she’d be tossed out the window of a moving train, broken and bleeding. And she never could have predicted the dark horse who would come to her aid or the comeback story that lay before them both.Publisher’s Weekly said, “My Dark Horse Prince is a fast-paced, action-filled romance with bonus elements of fantasy and mob violence. This action-packed fantasy romance follows Mirdza Strelkova and her shape-shifting love interest, Grigoriy. The narrative will ensnare readers from the start, traveling a twisty road that culminates in a cliffhanger ending—though the conclusion’s loose ends may be disappointing to some, given the sheer length of the novel.Baker’s prose is clear, distinct, and descriptive overall, facilitating the fast-moving plot. The book’s unique combination of romance and fantasy is appealing, but more clarity and explanation as to the nature of the story’s magic would be helpful. Readers should be aware of trigger warnings given the profuse domestic violence scattered throughout.Overall, the characters were complex and compelling, and Baker’s choice to feature a strong female character who is in a wheelchair was refreshing.”BOOK THREE: My High Horse CzarAdriana’s stuck between a rock and a very hard, very dangerous place. It’s not the first time she’s ever been in trouble, but it is the worst.When her twin sister Mirdza calls and tells her she’s going to be killed unless Adriana surrenders herself in half an hour, Adriana figures she doesn’t have much to lose.But she has no idea how much excitement her future holds, or whose protection she’s about to awaken.The scrappy fighter who has vowed never to date or marry is about to meet her match in the highest horse-shifter in existence—the displaced Czar of Russia himself, Alexei Romanov.
