ABANDONED IN DEATH by J D Robb
The woman’s body was found in the early morning, on a bench in a New York City playground. She was clean, her hair neatly arranged, her makeup carefully applied. But other things were very wrong—like the tattoo and piercings, clearly new. The clothes, decades out of date. The fatal wound hidden beneath a ribbon around her neck. And the note: Bad Mommy, written in crayon as if by a child. Eve Dallas turns to the department’s top profiler, who confirms what seems obvious to Eve: They’re dealing with a killer whose childhood involved some sort of trauma—a situation Eve is all too familiar with herself. Yet the clues suggest a perpetrator who’d be roughly sixty years old, and there are no records of old crimes with a similar MO. What was the trigger that apparently reopened such an old wound and sent someone over the edge? When Eve discovers that other young women—who physically resemble the first victim—have vanished, the clock starts ticking louder. But to solve this case she will need to find her way into a hidden place of dim light and concrete, into the distant past, and into the cold depths of a shattered mind.

SHERAKEREN’S FIRST DATE (CHILDREN OF THE DEAD FALL BOOK 2) by Susan Trombley
I made a critical mistake when I helped my brother and sister abduct two human females from a parallel dimension. I never imagined they would end up stranded in our world, nor did I expect to lose access to the Nexus dimensional portal, and NEX itself. Now, my brother, Vincent, has his mate, Gabby, but that still leaves her best friend Valerie with no family and no future in a world to which she did not volunteer to come. At first, she was merely my responsibility, since it was my fault she was trapped here, but I quickly learned that Valerie was far more than a stranded damsel in distress. Her extroverted manner and playful nature endeared her to our family—and has disarmed me, breaking through all the protective emotional shields I’ve erected. Now, I can’t stop myself from “feeling” things, and I’m losing my composure the more time I spend with her. My growing fascination for Gabby’s beautiful best friend has made me start dreaming again about one day finding a mate. As the Ancilla Blooming Festival approaches, bringing with it a day of celebrating uninhibited love, I want nothing more than to feel free to love Valerie. Unfortunately, allowing myself to feel love—or feel any strong emotion at all—doesn’t just open me up to getting hurt. Because of my telekinesis, any high emotions I feel could cause me to hurt everyone around me. Including the woman I want more than I’ve ever wanted anything in my life. Author’s Note: This book is part of a three-book story with the same heroine. Each book will focus on a different hero who will become one of her mates, while advancing the story and the growth of her family. She will have all three mates by the end of the three books.

As their relationship grows deeper and more twisted, Reylan tastes Jorgas’ blood, reawakening desires the vampire had thought long dead. And what evolves between them may be far more dangerous than some rival predator in the dark.
