My Name Is Death by Laura Daleo

I am done with men. After so many chances, a relationship isn't in the cards for me. Especially with my ex-Knox McCord-the billionaire business guru who ended things without a proper goodbye all those years ago.
But when he shows up at my charity date benefit auction, old feelings emerge and I will do anything to keep them from breaking free.

Knox
I just need one chance to make things right. So I do what any sensible man would-place myself up to be bid on at a charity date benefit auction. Kara Oliver just doesn't know she will place the winning bid. Date acquired. Target loaded. All I got to do is make her fall back in love with me . Should be easy. Right?

Crossed at the Café by Preston Allen
Genre: Magic Realism
Modeste is a very powerful voodoo priestess, but when she bumps into a stranger at a coffee shop, she's brought to her knees. Who is this mysterious woman, and why was she able to have an impact on one of the strongest manbo's in New Orleans?

Borrowed Bayou by Savanna Loy
Genre: Clean Sci-Fi Romance
Estelle Laguerre loves her family and loves her city, but after a century of playing the part of murderer to unsuspecting men, she has had enough.
How much longer can she continue following the guidelines of the curse her family inherited? Will a chance encounter change everything?
