#1
The Wicked Woods
2013
Ari’s always had a thing for monsters. Big ones, small ones, and all the ones in between. They turn her on like no human can. She’d be an ordinary girl if not for that one little quirk. Since monsters aren’t real, she’s resigned herself to loving them in her imagination. But, as Ari is about to find out, monsters are real and now one of them has her in their grasp. Will reality be better than fantasy? Or will she walk away and lose her one chance at fulfilling her wildest dreams? Warning: This book contains a girl who isn’t afraid of monsters and a monster who wouldn’t mind a special lady friend. You’ll never look at those all-night monster marathons on TV the same way again.
#2
The Wicked Wolf
2014
After several months with her monstrous lover, the unthinkable has happened—Ari’s Guardian is being called upon to mate with others of his kind. Not wanting to put her in danger, her Guardian sends her away, promising they will reunite once he’s fulfilled his duty. Now Ari has a choice—she can pine for her monster as he lies with compatible females or she can seek out other supernaturals and see if what she feels for her Guardian is true. Is it love or only lust? There’s a wicked wolf who’s willing to help her find the truth. Warning: This book contains lovers (metaphorically) torn apart and a girl determined to experience the supernatural. Timid creatures need not apply.
#3
The Wicked Dragon
2014
It’s been five days since Ari and her green Guardian were forced apart. Ari’s determined to ride out the storm of sexual longing she feels whenever she thinks about him, but it’s hard. When a dragon appears in her backyard, Ari is faced with a dilemma—send him on his way and continue pining or follow him into the woods to see what he can do for her. She’s already tried out a werewolf, is there anything a dragon could possibly offer to keep her mind off her missing beloved? As it turns out, this wicked dragon might have a trick or two up his sleeve. Warning: This book contains a dragon with an impressive package and a girl who likes getting gifts. No flight plans were filed (or interrupted) during their interlude.
#4
The Wicked Merman
2014
When her friend drags her off to the lake for some much needed R&R, Ari thought she’d be getting away from supernaturals for a few days. Sunning and swimming sound divine and it might help her shake off the funk of being parted from her beloved Guardian. But when a girl who loves monsters ends up at a lake housing a merman, she’s going to end up doing a lot more than swimming. Ari can’t resist trying to find the answer to the age-old question: How do mermen have sex? This wicked merman is more than happy to give her some hands-on experience. Warning: This book contains a lake, a midnight swim, and an unexpected hard-on. Don’t let the fins fool you, this merman has all the right stuff to get Ari where she needs to go.
#5
The Wicked Naga
2014
Ari’s weekend at the cabin has turned out to be eye-opening—she’s been propositioned by a frenemy and spent a scorching night in the lake with a merman. But the weekend’s not over yet and it’s just her luck there’s a snake-man in these mountains who’s looking for a sweet, young thing to spend some time with. Ari’s adventurous and the naga is upfront about what he wants. But can she trust a half-man, half-snake who looks at her like she’s dinner? This wicked naga might be deadly, but he also has a softer side. Ari just has to uncover it. Warning: This book contains a monster with non-standard parts and a girl who has enough determination to see things through. It’s two for the price of one on the mountain and Ari couldn’t be more excited.
#6
The Wicked Minotaur
2014
Ari’s concern for her beloved has hit critical mass. While she promised the naga she wouldn’t do anything foolish, she’s not one to sit around and let opportunities pass her by. So, when she finds a real, live minotaur hidden away at the center of the Harvest Festival labyrinth, she grabs the chance to recruit him to help. The only problem? The minotaur’s been a prisoner of the labyrinth for years and he’s forgotten what it’s like to be free. Good thing Ari has a thing for monsters and plenty of practice getting them revved up. It looks like this wicked minotaur will be given all the motivation he’ll need to find a way out. Warning: This book contains a lady determined to help out her love and a minotaur who’s too big for his britches. That’s right, ladies, there’s nothing mini about this minotaur. The line forms to the right.
#7
The Wicked Gargoyle
2014
Ari’s on a mission—find and recruit monsters to help save her beloved Guardian. The more allies she can gather, the better her beloved’s chances of survival. When she hears of a gargoyle hiding out in the bell tower on campus, she does what any other girl who loves supernaturals would do—she seeks him out to see what it’ll take to sway him to her side. He might be made of stone, but this wicked gargoyle knows a good deal when he hears it and he’s more than willing to help Ari out. Provided she can help him out first. Warning: This book contains a rock-hard monster and a girl with few inhibitions. You can take the monster out of the bell tower, but just try to get him out of the girl!
#8
The Wicked Sasquatch
2014
Word has come down from the prophetic naga and the time to save Ari’s imprisoned love is rapidly approaching. There’s only one more monster she needs to gather to ensure his safety—the sasquatch, a loner who is the last of his kind. Finding him will be the easy part. Convincing him to help is where Ari will have to use all her wiles. But when this particular girl sets her mind on something, she won’t let anything stand in her way. This wicked sasquatch might have just met his match in this monster-loving girl. Warning: This book contains a hairy humanoid, a sassy jaunt through the woods, and some sexcapades that might be illegal in several states. You know what they say about men with big feet, right?
#9
The Wicked Lovers
2014
Ari’s chance to free her beloved is here. With her allies standing beside her, she must face down two territorial females and save her imprisoned love. All while trying to keep the human world blissfully ignorant of the monsters moving among them. Her monstrous friends might be willing to fight on her side, but having that many alpha males in one place could be a recipe for disaster. And that’s before her mom schedules some family time, her best friend shows up heartbroken, and her mysterious bloodline tempts her to give into her urges. What’s a girl who loves monsters to do when love and lust get tangled? Her wicked lovers are about to find out. Warning: This book contains a girl who lacks inhibitions, one weepy best friend, a mom who sees more than she lets on, and a slew of supernatural lovers. No horizontal surface is safe during Ari’s amorous adventures.
#10
The Wicked Ever After
2014
With the help of her monstrous friends, Ari has saved her beloved from the mating contract that nearly killed him. As he recovers, she tries to figure out how to juggle her relationship with him—and her unwillingness to leave his side—with her family and outside life. As it turns out, her former lovers might have a solution. If they play their cards right, it would give her a chance to be with her Liath Mor mate while remaining part of the human world. Ari’s proven to be adventurous and willing to think outside the box. This wicked nymph isn’t one to let opportunities pass her by, especially when it means getting everything she desires. Warning: This book contains a newly-minted nymph who’s overjoyed to be back with her mate and a Guardian who will do anything to keep her beside him. Even choose a name for himself. Tentacle sightings, ahead!
