New from USA TODAY bestselling author Linzi Baxter, the first book in her exciting new paranormal romance series. She was supposed to be just a job. A paycheck. Now she’s his destiny. Talia hadn’t planned on dying today. But accidentally defying the Supernatural Council isn’t exactly a wise life plan. When she did her duty and touched a bloody knife to determine guilt or innocence, her vision seemed…off. So was Councilman Gideon’s rush to declare a shivering child guilty of murder. Now Talia’s trying to lose herself in the West Virginia mountains with the child in tow. And the mercenary on their tail has an uncanny ability to find them, no matter how far they run. Kirin’s dragon-shifter senses make him the most sought-after bounty hunter in these parts. But something about this job smells…wrong. And when he finally gets his hands on the fugitive, he gets the surprise of his nearly three-hundred-year life. The fragile, determined woman in his arms is the mate he’d given up all hope of finding. Now instead of breathing down her neck, he’s bound to protect her at all costs. But if they can’t figure out who wants this child dead—and why—they could all wind up sharing the same grave. Note: The Dragon’s Psychic is the first of a three-book series. Each book will have a complete HEA romance, connected with a continuing plot that will conclude with book 3.

It’s not unusual for Kai’s best friend and business partner to be a little hard to track down. Wolf shifters don’t always check email. But for Noah to drop off the grid for days? Something’s wrong. Noah’s trail dead ends hard against Kai’s worst fear—a lab, a place of nightmares for creatures like him. As he prepares to walk in, he hopes like hell he’ll walk out again. With Noah. Preferably alive. Lucy is thrilled with her dream job—head scientist at a private lab, with her pick of plum projects. But lately she suspects she’s surrounded by secrets. Sketchy meetings, people who arrive but don’t leave, even hidden passageways. One peek behind a forbidden door, and too late she remembers why she shouldn’t snoop. Kai was ready for anything, but he never expected to meet the desperate eyes of the one thing he never thought he’d find: his mate. Worse, she’s not the only complication. There’s a lab full of them. And a secret that could threaten the freedom—even the lives—of every more-than-human on the planet. Note: The Dragon’s Human is the second of a three-book paranormal dragon shifter romance series. Each book will have a complete HEA romance, connected with a continuing plot that will conclude with book three.

She’s a genie freed from her bottle. Only a dragon’s love can protect her now. Conley’s two brothers did the impossible: found their mates. With the threat to supernatural beings everywhere hanging overhead, Conley’s got too many bodies to guard to even dream about finding his own. Until he overhears a woman’s desperate voice on the phone, and for reasons he can’t explain, he’s just as desperate to save her. Nyx’s ability to read other people’s visions made her the council’s most wanted tool. Until she used it against them and became a target. Cornered, a heartbeat from capture and probable torture, she’s rescued by someone she didn’t even know existed. A man for whom she feels nothing. Nothing but desire. She’s not sure if she’s thrilled—or terrified. For herself, and for him. If Conley can just look once into her eyes, he’ll know for sure what’s driving his dragon wild. Except Nyx seems determined to look anywhere but at him. Conley’s waited hundreds of years for his mate. He can be patient a bit longer. Talking his dragon into that strategy? That’s a tall order. But when Nyx is kidnapped by the very evil they’re sworn to defeat, time could be running out for them both...

An untamed dragon. A broken wizard. And danger that’s no laughing matter. Diem Six months ago, I didn’t believe people could be turned into animals. Then someone stuck a needle in my arm. Now I’ve got a dragon inside my head that won’t shut up. Especially about the bastard who gave the order. Gideon. For some unfathomable reason, my dragon trusts him. It’s too late for me. But my sister’s been kidnapped, and I’ve got a chance to save her before she meets the same fate. If I can find her in time. Gideon can help me. Gideon owes me. And he’s about to find out I’m a force to be reckoned with. Gideon For a thousand years I was powerful. Esteemed. Even feared within the wizarding community. One spell wiped it all away. The last hundred years is lost in the fog of my memory, years I spent as a warlock’s puppet. I’m useless now. No one trusts me, much less respects me. How can I help anyone, much less the wild young dragon shifter who doesn’t know when to shut up? But for some reason, I say yes. Maybe it’s she makes me feel things I’ve never felt before. Or maybe it’s because yes is barely out of my mouth before we’re running for our lives…

What would happen to a dragon if her mate refused her? Kayda This was the question that plagued Kayda. I’d barely come to terms with the possibility that I’d be inexplicably and unintentionally be drawn to someone I barely knew. I’d struggled to understand how I could have a need for someone when I’d always been so independent before. And I had no idea what was supposed to happen next. Honestly, I’d feel more comfortable with a blood sacrifice to Satanists than I would being tied to a wolf shifter. Or any shifter. Or any man. Trusting men was how I ended up like this. I couldn’t believe I’d been so easily duped. And trusting my dragon didn’t seem much safer. Yet here I was, longing for Arrow, the most difficult being I’d ever encountered. He didn’t want me. I could tell. There was no light in his eyes when he met my gaze. He shied from my touch. He kept his distance, but I refused to keep mine. Arrow Wolves mate for life. I’d already found my mate. We’d had it really good for a while, until she died while giving birth to our child. In an instant, I lost both of them. I wanted to die too. Apparently, my suffering wasn’t over yet because I was mostly surviving. I struggled to get through every day. Luckily, I was kept busy with work. This sense of purpose kept me functioning, even if I was going through life without really living. When I’d get really depressed, I’d remember happier times. Those were over. One mate. For life. I mostly waited to die. Then I was saddled with a new job. The rescue mission had been a success. Kayda was free, but my work was far from over. I was supposed to look out for her while her sister was enjoying her wedding. I took her to Florida to pick up a car left there previously by Gideon. We spoke to a medium. While I never placed much stock in that kind of thing, that seemed to be the only area where Kayda and I agreed. We weren’t meant to travel the same path. We were tolerating each other for as long as was necessary.

Alida There were plenty of reasons for Alida to stay home, rather than go off to college, according to Kirin and Talia. They weren’t my parents, but they were the only family I’d had for a decade. Leaving them was scary, but at the same time, I was drawn to this place, far enough from the West Virginia hills to feel like a change, and close enough for me to always come home. Grady I wasn’t being elusive. I had no desire to be mysterious. I simply didn’t know a thing about my past. Not really. I’d tried to find out, but no one wanted to tell me anything...not the foster parents who raised me or the social worker who managed my case, or the police officer who turned me in. Little did I know, Christmas with her would change everything once and for all.
