Dark Heat by Leigh Wyndfield

What would you do in the dark heat of a dungeon when a man offers his protection in exchange for passion you’d never dreamed possible?

When healer Caelan angers her King, she’s thrown into prison where she bargains her body to a warrior awaiting execution for a crime he didn’t commit.  Garron’s very name means protector, and he’s willing to trade protection to get his hands on a woman who smells like freedom and tastes like passion. 

But their special powers unite, turning lust into something unforeseen.  Soon they are forced to choose between freedom and their growing love in the dark heat of the night.

Sanctuary by Delilah Devlin

In the post-Apocalyptic future, a woman rancher runs a last refuge for human survivors of a nuclear winter in West Texas. When the security of the sanctuary is breached, she must place her trust in one of the creatures freed by perpetual darkness.

In a post-Apocalyptic future with cities decimated by man-made disease and nuclear winter, people have fled to rural areas to become the prey of criminals, werebeasts, and vampires. Rancher Kate McKinnon runs "Sanctuary"-- a last refuge on the western frontier. While driving her surviving wranglers and integrating refugees into their self-sufficient refuge, she escapes her responsibilities the only way she has left--via Hamm radio to pockets of other survivors. One man, Ty Bennett, is her confidante and she thinks she might be falling in love with him. Although they've never met, he seems to know her heart.

On a patrol to siphon gasoline to run the ranch's generator, Kate and her cowboys are surrounded by a werepack. After she's rescued by a small band of militaristic "brothers" she brings the wounded home only to discover she's brought vampires into the refuge. Ty is the man she's poured her heart to on the radio. Already half in love with the human woman, Ty offers added muscle to her defenses. Fighting his own nature and appetites, he seeks redemption for his many sins.

Can Kate get past her prejudice and choking responsibilities to trust him with their lives, even as she succumbs to his seduction?

Nightly he visits, awakening not just her body, but also her memories. Memories of her childhood home and the horrible tragedy she witnessed there.

Caught in the middle, she finds safety and passion in her guardian’s arms.  She is drawn to him like no other. It is within him that she discovers the secret to end the war.  However, there is a price to unlock it…her soul.
