Claws & Cubicles

Some people have monsters for a boss, but not everyone has an undead Necromancer Lord at the office. Lily has been the Lich's secretary ever since his evilness took over the company. She loves her job, but she's got some questions about her boss. Like what's under that cloak of ever-billowing. Her wondering intensifies when one day the Lich needs something from her that isn't just scheduling appointments-but a shiver. He needs it for a spell, but it feels like it crosses a line from their usual workplace banter. After her contributions to his dark rituals become more than OSHA compliant, she starts to contemplate whether the Lich Lord returns her feelings, or still only sees her as his secretary. Lily may have given him her body, but he never asked for her heart. Contains mature themes.

Mate-bonding with a co-worker is against company policy . . . accidentally or not. Janice knows better than anyone that entanglements with coworkers are risky business. But when Janice accidentally breaks a coworker's nose, she finds herself unexpectedly mated to an orc, and under Monster Resources' scrutiny. Khent from the IT Department is quiet and nerdy, despite the tusks. His emails are overly wordy. He won't stop apologizing even though she's the one who broke his glasses. Clearly, fate got this one wrong. All Janice has to do is stay away from Khent until the bond dissipates. Easy enough, right? Except . . . Her company laptop chooses this week to need the orc from the IT Department, repeatedly . . . She accidentally clicks on orc porn at work and has to take remedial phishing training with Khent. . . . Their bond will keep pulling them back together until it is completed. Contains mature themes.

A siren in heat, a gargoyle who keeps getting under her skin, and an inescapable work trip . . . Gwen doesn't want anyone to know she's a siren. She doesn't want anyone to know she's terrible at her job either. Perhaps least on her list of priorities, Gwen would also like to avoid the gargoyle who saw her vibe in the TSA check. Except, the very same gargoyle is the new manager she has to work with, and he's going to the same corporate retreat she is. He reminds her too much of her past and exactly the career-driven sort of guy she can't stand from Fortune 666 companies. When things start to heat up between them, Gwen's afraid he's going to learn all her secrets, but when he offers to help feed her siren appetite, she can't resist mixing business with pleasure. Contains mature themes.
