Darling beasts : a novel / by Gable, Michelle,author.;
Gabby, Talia, and Ozzie Gunn, heirs to a media empire, are in trouble. After several bad investments and one major scandal, their father is now trying to restore their family's good name with a senatorial run. Even worse? He's demanding they move to California to join the campaign or risk being cut off. It's easy to say you don't care about money when you have enough, but with mounting debts, unconventional hobbies, and in the case of Gabby, Portum Bestiae Syndrome--a very expensive condition in which strange symptoms arise and then an exotic animal appears--the siblings don't have much of a choice. In California, they'll just have to keep their distance and survive until it's all over. But almost immediately, the Gunns find themselves right in the thick of things, dodging headlines and the creatures that seem to pop up in the most inconvenient places. Not only that--the change in scenery even has them bonding, on hot-air balloon rides and sunny beaches. But when a family secret rears its head, reopening old wounds, this new existence is thrown into chaos, and the stage is set for a long-overdue reckoning.

A Bloom in Winter [electronic resource] : by Ward, J.R..aut; cloudLibrary;
#1 New York Times bestselling author J. R. Ward brings the heat in the depths of winter with another sizzling Black Dagger Brotherhood holiday book! For his entire life, and especially during his century in the prison camp, Apex never believed the bonded-male vampire myths. But when he crossed paths with a sexy wolven, the assassin was done being a lone wolf himself. Tragically, fate had other plans for them, and in the decades since, the world has held little interest—and even less warmth—for him. He has never forgotten the male, however... Even after all this time, Callum remains haunted by the horrible abduction that destroyed him down to his marrow those many years ago. Living as a loner, drifting from place to place, the wolven has finally returned to upstate New York—and he is not expecting to see the vampire who has always been on his mind. As a plot to overthrow the King threatens the Brothers down in Caldwell, Apex and Callum find themselves face to face—and caught up in a deadly, treasonous plot. Can two lonely, lost souls find a way back to each other...or will destiny once again condemn their hearts to cold isolation?
