Free Breath of Love by Ophelia Bell Page B

been prepared I’d have been there for you quicker.”
    “Baby, you were there. I just want to know what was going through your head back there. Not that I don’t appreciate everything. Call it morbid curiosity.”
    Kol cleared his throat. Geva glanced back over the passenger seat he rode in, giving him a grin of solidarity.
    “He called me a son-of-a-bitch,” Kol said. “Which is a gross insult to The Mother. We couldn’t let it stand without punishment. Painful punishment.”
    Hallie opened her mouth once, then closed it and burst out laughing. “He insulted… oh the poor, poor bastard. I hope he doesn’t meet any other dragons. That’s pretty much his favorite term. I’m curious, though… if he hadn’t said that, what would the punishment have been?”
    In unison the two dragons said. “We’d have fucked him.”
    “Oh, please don’t tell me that,” Hallie said, she looked up into Kol’s face, searching. He didn’t feel nearly as mirthful as Geva seemed to, however.
    He gave her a resigned look. “Geva would have done the honors, and the man would have enjoyed it more than getting punched in the gut. He deserved the humiliation either way.”
    When she began to nod slowly, Kol finally relaxed, then bent to kiss the livid bruises on her arm. He should have killed the man, but that would have complicated their visit more than he needed.
    That evening they received the call. Roka’s voice was on the other end of Kol’s line, calm and to the point. “We found her. Get to Tokyo as soon as you can…” He seemed to hesitate, then blurted out. “Can you take a commercial flight? There won’t be time to replenish your magic once you get here.”
    Kol reassured him. “My jet’s fueled up. I’m sure we’ll be fine. We’ll be there tomorrow.”
    “I think you mean today, my friend. I’ll see you soon.”

Breath of Flame and Shadow
    All Rowan wants is to understand what she is and to purge from her mind the memories of the dragon shifter she’s fallen for, who opened her eyes to her true nature. On the run from the overwhelming discovery of her origins and the heartbreak of Rafe’s rejection, she stretches her wings to the point of self destruction. She has to make a decision: rejoin humanity and reject her nature, or embrace her race and help them overcome a millennia-old set of laws. But none of that matters to her without Rafe’s love.
    Rafe is destroying himself over the regret of not telling Rowan how he truly felt, but dragon law would not have allowed him to mate a female dragon. He hunts the farthest reaches of the Earth to find her, hoping that she will agree to help his race, but longing even more to finally confess to her what’s truly in his heart.

Branded

Nora Ash

    Being different was never easy.
    After 27 years of living as a social outcast, Selma had become quite accustomed to the isolation and lack of dreams for a happy future. What she’d never gotten used to were the demons she saw—the dangerous creatures masquerading as humans, blending into the regular world as if they belonged.
No one else ever saw what she did—not when she was younger, and not the night she was attacked by horned monsters, losing the precarious grasp on her already damaged mind.
    Trapped in a mental hospital, Selma’s only hope of gaining back her life is a young psychiatrist with smoldering looks and some very disturbing ideas for her treatments. If she is ever to see the outside world again, she must submit to him.
    But he is one of them—and his intentions are far more devious than they appear.
