Petits S'Mores

2006

Death by Chocolate The grotesque video shows it all: vampires use Clothilde DuBerry’s chocolate aphrodisiac gel and die. Shocked and distraught, Clothilde turns to the Rookery Cove community for help. It doesn’t seem possible, but her nightmare gets worse when security chief Manx summons off-island support—Dominic Ford, her ex-lover. Now successful and wealthy, Dominic wants to reconcile with Clothilde, and doesn’t hesitate to try to mix business and pleasure. The chemistry is still there, but so is the baggage, and with a killer on the loose, will they find a way to work out their differences before it’s too late?

Breakwater

2006

Question: A bird and a fish may fall in love, but where will they build a home? Something is harming Rookery Cove’s coastline, damaging the delicate ecosystem that provides many of their natural ingredients. Baen, a water elemental, finds the slow destruction intolerable and demands that Rookery Cove Aphrodisiacs look to the skies above the island for answers. Airk makes his home in the skies over Rookery Cove. He notices the same kind of habitat degradation as Baen has. He suspects something foul is going on at the fisheries that produce the fish oil for RC Aphrodisiacs’s signature lube and demands that management investigate. Into the clash between these disgruntled workers comes Gavin, an environmentalist hired by RC Aphrodisiacs to find the source of the contamination and provide a solution. He knows his chemistry, but no one told him he needed to bone up on his biology before taking this assignment. Answer: In the breakwater, with the man who loves them both…

Seducing Serena

2006

Serena has a reputation for making some of the best dildos around. Take, for example, the Double Trouble, a double dildo with vibrating and squirting action. It’s no wonder that Dalos, the manager of Rookery Cove Aphrodisiacs’ Dildo Division, wants to recruit her to his team. There’s just one problem, she’s straight vanilla in her personal life and his “team” includes his gay lover, Maddox. Can the pair of sexy elves convince Serena to give up her human existence for a career—and a lifetime of real Double Trouble—with them?

The Keythong's Blaze

2006

Okibi Rowe is a phoenix. Not just any phoenix, but one entering her Kokugen Nenshou, or Burning Time. Which might be a good thing, considering the pheromone-laced sweat she secretes during this cycle is the basis for her enormously popular perfume, Need. But when Phillip Quinn, President of Rookery Cove Aphrodisiacs, decides he wants Okibi to focus on her profitable perfume, and not on protecting Rookery Cove Island, Okibi finds herself in big trouble. Branimir Symon is the King of the Griffons. As a winged keythong, or male griffon, he's unique among his people. With his best friend and lover, Viktor, by his side, Branimir has brought his people into the 21st century. Now, these powerful males are ready to find a mate, to find a queen and have a family. But the women of the court don't tempt them. They need a warrior, a partner who'll fight by their side and understand a griffon’s need to protect his people and his history. When Branimir gets a call from Rookery Cove Aphrodisiacs, asking if he'd be interested in a security position on the island, he jumps at the chance. Okibi Rowe, the last in one of the most powerful and respected phoenix families, is just the kind of woman he wants. When the firebird and the griffons meet, there's no denying the attraction. But Okibi won't be forced into anything, not making more perfumes, having a family, or realizing one of her darkest fantasies. No matter how much she’s drawn to the griffons, no matter how much her body cries out for her to give in to them. Can Branimir and Viktor prove to Okibi that they’re interested in an equal relationship, or will her fear of being overwhelmed force her to let go of the two males who match her in every way.

The Darkness

2007

Are you afraid of the Dark? May isn't, but after being kidnapped and held at gunpoint, the Darkness is looking pretty good. Manx is known as The Head... the head of security on Rookery Cove Island, the place where he was trapped while searching for the other half of his soul. But when he finds his soul’s ease in Mayleen, a submissive female with more mouth than common sense, will he lose her to madness through evil plots and machinations, or will the Darkness be their refuge?

Monster Mash

2007

Rookery Cove Aphrodisiacs' newest brew is ready for its introduction to the public. The intoxicating beverage is guaranteed to raise the libido of any creature, undead or alive. Kyler is convinced it'll be a smash among their non-human clientele, if only they can find a way to market the stuff that doesn't reveal the method of production that gives the liquid its sexual magic. Elwyn has little doubt the potent aphrodisiac will do exactly as the Dark Elf claims. But, as the senior ad man for the company, he needs more to build a campaign on than the tired maxim of “Try it, you’ll like it.” Prying the details about its production out of the closed-mouth brewer has proven impossible. He must take drastic measures if he’s to launch this product on time. Kyler doesn't react well to the Incubus' surprise visit to his distillery on Rookery Cove Island, and an entire batch of Mash is ruined as a result. There's only one act that will pacify the Dark Elf's ire now, and Elwyn can't bring himself to do it. Can he?

Faun of a Time

2007

Not everyone who works for Rookery Cove Aphrodisiacs does so through normal channels. There are some who prefer to do their work quietly, orderly, alone. Corin Róg is one such person. He is the groundskeeper on an isolated section of the Island and only a handful of people know he exists. But, there are some secrets that are meant to be discovered. Mitch Whelan is one angry wolf. Entering the forest to find a runaway lab experiment, he never expected to find an altogether different type of creature. The shy faun calls to him, awakening the wolf inside him. But, in order to be with the faun, Mitch may need to restrain his basic urges—the need to claim his mate in the only way an Alpha knows how. Corin won't leave his land, Mitch won't leave the lab. Can these two very different men ever find a way to be together?

Make Mine a Double

2007

Charlotte “Charli” Maguire wins a contest sponsored by Rookery Cove Aphrodisiacs. When she’s given access to the “fantasy room,” she finds herself the sensual participant in a threesome with two gorgeous men.

Restrictions Applied

2008

Maya Drake is employed by Rookery Cove to catch a psychotic telekinetic. All she has to do is find the guy, work her spell and cash the check since this witch can freeze a perp at twenty paces and have him wrapped and waiting for the boys in blue. Ex-cop Joe Holland doesn't think it’s all that easy. A septiel, able to replicate himself into a squad of seven men, Holland is hired to stop the creep who pops in and out of Rookery Cove. As the attraction to his Kevlar- and micromini-clothed partner grows, Holland decides to burn the little witch out of his system—even if he has to split into two, or three, or four, just to exhaust her. As the threats against the Cove residents increase, Maya and Holland must find a way to work together, maintain their professional relationship, and keep their minds off sex and on the job at hand.

Pixie's Prisoner

2008

Who says pixies are nothing more than mischievous tricksters? Not Laela Léa. She's a scientist. A scientist with a mission—to prove that the Cum-a-Chameleon formula she's been working on for the past eighteen months actually works. But to do that, she has to find a real chameleon on which to test the formula's decadent effects. Plagued by memories of endless experiments in dark rooms, ex-Marine Nathaniel Alexis wants nothing more than to be left alone. In solitude, he can dream about the woman who saved him—the one who wrapped her long legs around his waist and took him to the edge of paradise the night before his life changed forever. Now he can do more than dream. Because she's back—and sexier than ever. Problem is, Laela needs him as a test subject. And while Nathan would gladly let her do anything she wants to his body, he's vowed to never again be experimented upon. Not even in delicious, erotic ways. Not unless he's the one in control…
