Nothing sucks more than losing your humanity in a government experiment. Now I’m something different, something special, and everyone wants a piece of me. Go ahead, give it a try, but don’t be shocked when I turn the tables and try to steal your soul because I am so very, very hungry.... But I don’t want to eat everyone I meet. At least not in a bad way. I know Simon, a big, beastly shifter, and his buddy Gene, an actual djinn living in a bottle, are after more than just my lusty bod.

Meeting his mate should have been cause for celebration. There's just one teeny-tiny problem. Jade thinks Ark might have impregnated her sister. He didn't, but convincing Jade is going to take a bit of honey. Keir's been told to stop playing the field and settle down. But his sights have always been set on Ally. She's his mate, plain and simple. Gorgeous wood nymph Mia Oliver is on a mission: Find a suitable male to get her good 'n' pregnant and provide her with an heir.

Wiping out humanity is his number one objective - until he meets her. Aramus has no patience or sympathy for the excuses humanity uses to hunt cyborgs down and eradicate them. He's put up with too much at their hands to ever forgive and forget. But all that changes when he rescues a fragile human doctor who refuses to see him as a machine. She teaches him that perhaps not all emotions are a weakness and that love can make even a cynical cyborg like him stronger. And for those who'd mock his change of view or threaten his female? Go ahead. His knuckles could use some exercise.

When cyborg intelligence meets sensual robotics, circuit boards sizzle. Einstein was probably the only cyborg in existence with no interest in the opposite sex, until he discovered B785. With her sensual nature and quirky sense of humor, she draws this cybernetic geek out of his scientific shell and teaches him the one thing he's never understood - passion.

F814 exists to serve the humans until they decide to terminate her. An instinct for survival makes her fight, but when she achieves freedom, she discovers she cannot throw off the chains of habit. Everything changes when another flesh-covered droid arrives, a cyborg he calls himself, who teaches her she is more than a machine. Solus hates humanity, and even though he was born as a flawed human, he strives to eradicate all traces of it from his persona - until he meets F814.

Machines aren't supposed to feel, but this cyborg can't help falling in love. Assigned as a specimen collector for a captured cyborg, Chloe is intrigued by the machine disguised as a man. Kidnapped during his daring escape, he shows her that despite the chip in his brain, his humanity is not completely lost. Formerly known as unit X109GI, Joe is on a quest to discover his origin. While he doesn't find the answers he's looking for, he does discover that affection and lust aren't just for humans.

Roxanne knows where she'd like to shove Cupid's arrow. Tired of cheating men and false promises of love, Roxanne launches a campaign against Cupid's Dating Service. But it's hard to smear a company when you've got the hots for the owner. Maverick Eros is more than the CEO of CDS, he's Cupid himself. However, forget the media images of a chubby diapered cherub because the god of love is actually six feet plus of yummy, muscled male. When they meet, sparks fly - the lusty kind - but they both know from experience, love hurts. In the end though, they'll learn that love will have its way, with or without the aid of Cupid's arrow.

Darn it, a man has his pride and a caribou of a certain majestic presence - all of which could wind up ruined if he abases himself to play a simple-minded reindeer in the town's Christmas parade. No way was he wearing tinsel in his antlers. Like heck was he sporting a red nose and pulling a sleigh. But he changes his mind when he meets the woman in charge of the event.

"Get married or you're out of the will." Blackmail pure and simple, but Bryce doesn't have much of a choice if he wants to remain Grandfather's heir. With the old man on his deathbed, the clock is ticking, so he'd better get cracking because a supposed cousin has just shown up looking for a pint of the maple syrup business. "I'll gore him with my rack first!" Lucky for Bryce, he sniffs out the perfect woman and makes her a deal. What he doesn't expect is to lose his heart in the process.

Bring on the bug spray, because to prevail, Josie's going to have to face her greatest fear. Josie's not a brave person, and she's especially scared of spiders. Imagine her surprise when she finds herself attracted to not one, but two, larger than life men. Clint and Brandon both want the timid mouse who's come to work for them - and their beasts are chafing to mark her - but when she can't decide between them, there's only one thing to do - share her.
