The Fourth State of Matter Valence Chronicles $5.99 Earth is dead. Humanity survives by selling the only resource available—themselves. 2689 has signed away his rights as a living being and become décor, living artwork that rich aliens use to decorate their homes. It's a stable existence but a boring one. Until one day his owner plays host to three unexpected guests. Large, loud, and more potent than anything 2689 has ever experienced, this trio of ship-dwellers from the wrong side of the universe awakens a desire he can't ignore. However, blissful days of sex and companionship with Brog, Desmodian, and Xavis come to an end when 2689 discovers a plot that could land the trio in jail...or worse. 2689 will have to make a choice—stay silent and allow three innocent lives to be ruined or give up his stable life to protect the ones he loves.

Blue Moon and Starry Nights One Scoop or Two $3.99 For Kamryn Kline, third-generation owner of Serendipity's Simply Sweet Dips Ice Cream Shoppe, a new freezer is essential for her Driftwood Bay business. The unexpected cost could prevent her from making a profit from the summer tourist season. Antique broker Spencer Days witnesses a crime at work and suddenly becomes part of the Witness Protection Program. Whisked away to the isolated island of Driftwood Bay, he's reinvented as David Stone: sanitation worker. Neither Kamryn nor David are looking for attachments, but what happens with warm island winds, hot summer nights, cool ice cream, and starry skies is anyone's guess.

Supe Slayer $5.99 Detective Kennedy "Edy" James is not your average beat cop. She's a member of an elite, secret sector called the PCI. The Paranormal Crime Investigation unit handles cases tied to supernatural beings, or supes, as the precinct likes to call them. Things go from strange to stranger when there's a sudden and drastic spike in human deaths within a nearby vampire territory. As Edy and her partner, Seth, dig deeper into the case, they discover something far more sinister than just your average rogue vampire murder spree. Supes have always been unpredictable and dangerous. Now something else is brewing under the veil of darkness—but what? They're determined to find the answer, or at least die trying.

I Was A Teenage ALIEN $4.99 Oas is sent from her home planet of Zorca-twenty-three to rescue her brother Ralb from the worse humanoid known in the solar system—a teenage girl. With her traveling companions, Rotsen, a plant with an attitude who watches too many Shaprantos reruns and Lehcarr, a Venus Fly Trap with the habit of eating her friends, they set out to find Ralb. Traveling through a black hole, Oas is transformed from her ananoid shape into a teenage humanoid, becoming what she fears most—a teenager. They land in Bedrocktown to find the teenagers aren't as bad as they feared—they're worse. Zen her handler has warned her to stay away from pizza and popcorn but she tries both, with horrible results. She needs to find her brother, figure out how humans kiss, save the town from an E. Coli outbreak and meet Jason Montana, not necessarily in that order. Then all she has to do is find her way home, but are her ties to Earth too strong?

Fear the Night $4.99 Adrienne "Max" Maxwell has everything she wants in life. Except sleep. Her fear of the night (Nyctophobia) stems from the brutal murder of her mother when she was ten. Strange things keep happening to Max. Objects in her home disappear and she finds unwashed dishes from a meal she doesn't remember eating. As these problems continue, she begins to doubt her mental stability. Her new neighbor and customer, research scientist Angus McLaren, quickly discovers Max's fears. He finds this strong, independent woman appealing and works to gain her trust, even as her mother's killer looms nearby. Stopping him from carrying out his depraved agenda will require all of Max's strength and that of her family of friends.

The Bride's Curse The Wedding Bliss Series $4.99 Kelly Andrew's store, Wedding Bliss, is the one-stop for all a bride's needs. Abandoned by her own fiancé, she hopes to make it easier for brides by planning their ceremonies down to the last detail. But one little problem keeps her from being successful. Three brides have brought back the same vintage gown saying it was responsible for dashing their dreams. Brett, the nephew of the original owner of the dress, needs to get the gown back. Impossible since Kelly sold the garment and claims the gown is cursed. Brett's confusion at her words deepens when he discovers she communes with ghosts. Yet, when a contrite spirit comes forward, with a message, Brett goes along on a wild-bridegroom chase.
