Description:
Three young heirs,
imprisoned by an unscrupulous uncle, escaped—to the sea, to the streets,
to faraway battle—awaiting the day when they would return to reclaim
their birthright.
Once upon a time, he was Lord Tristan
Easton—now he is Crimson Jack, a notorious privateer beholden to none,
whose only mistress is the sea. But all that will change when exquisite
Lady Anne Hayworth hires his protection on a trip into danger and
seduction. . .
Desperation brought Anne to the bronzed, blue-eyed
buccaneer. But after the Captain demands a kiss as his payment, desire
will keep her at his side. She has never known temptation like this—but
to protect her heart, she knows she must leave him behind. Yet Tristan
cannot easily forget the beauty—and when they meet again in a London
ballroom, he vows he won't lose her a second time, as fiery passion
reignited takes them into uncharted waters that could lead the second
lost lord home... (from Goodreads)

Description:
The Price family has
spent generations studying the monsters of the world, working to protect
them from humanity - and to protect humanity from them. Enter Verity Price.
Despite being trained from birth as a cryptozoologist, she'd rather
dance a tango than tangle with a demon, and is spending a year in
Manhattan while she pursues her career in professional ballroom dance.
Sounds pretty simple, right? It would be, if it weren't for the talking
mice, the telepathic mathematicians, the asbestos supermodels, and the
trained monster-hunter sent by the Price family's old enemies, the
Covenant of St. George.
To complicate matters further, local cryptids are
disappearing, strange lizard-men are appearing in the sewers, and
someone's spreading rumors about a dragon sleeping underneath the
city.... (from the back cover)
