Ruffled Feathersby Zoe Chant

He’s caught in her trap. Literally.

Ornithologist Madison didn’t expect to capture a bird on her first evening in the woods. She definitely didn’t expect that bird to turn into a sexy, naked man right in front of her eyes. Not that she’s complaining.

Hawk shifter Simon’s task was simple. Scout ahead to check on the scientists in the nearby forest, then report back while other shifters lie low. Getting caught in a net was not part of that plan. Neither was getting freed by his fated mate. Not that he’s complaining.

An ornithologist should be a bird shifter’s worst enemy. But together, Madison and Simon hatch a plan so shifters and scientists can use the woods–and so they can build a nest together–no matter who has a problem with that.

And maybe they’ll figure out how to create the perfect s’more along the way.

A Thousand Days in Venice: An Unexpected Romanceby Marlena de Blasi

An American chef meets the love of her life among the beautiful canals and exquisite cuisine of Venice—“better than a romance novel, it’s the real thing” (New Orleans Times-Picayune).

Fernando first sees Marlena across the Piazza San Marco and falls in love from afar. When he sees her again in a Venice café a year later, he knows it’s fate. He knows little English; she, a divorced American chef traveling through Italy, speaks only food-based Italian. Marlena thought she was done with romantic love, incapable of intimacy. Yet within months of their first meeting, she quits her job, sells her house in St. Louis, kisses her two grown sons goodbye, and moves to Venice to marry “the stranger,” as she calls Fernando.

This deliciously satisfying memoir is filled with the foods and flavors of Italy and peppered with culinary observations and recipes. But the main course here is an enchanting true story about a woman who falls in love with both a man and a city, and finally finds the home she didn’t even know she was missing.

Big Bad Bodyguardby Ali Parker

A billionaire bourbon king needs a bodyguard, but the last thing he wants is me—a woman.

My attitude isn’t helping things much either. I’m not putting up with an ounce of this man’s overinflated ego.

He was in the right place at the wrong time, having caught a few thieves in the act. Now they’re in jail.

And he should be looking over his shoulder. That’s where I come in.

This hot pain in my butt thinks he’s God’s gift to the world, but Mr. Big Bad is in for a world of hurt.

I’m not interested in gifts. I’m here to do a job, and that’s to keep his assets free from harm.

Lucky for me, this isn’t my first rodeo with a sexy rich boy who doesn’t believe in female bodyguards.

The bill is paid and I’m stuck to his side.

Huff and puff all you like, handsome. This girl is guarding the one thing your family needs to carry on its line.

Your smoking hot body.
