Kresley Cole, #1 New York Times bestselling author, delivers a breathtaking tale of a brutal vampire soldier about to know love for the first time...and a Valkyrie aching to be touched. Murdoch Wroth will stop at nothing to claim Daniela the Ice Maiden - the delicate Valkyrie who makes his heart beat for the first time in three hundred years. Yet the exquisite Danii is part ice fey, and her freezing skin can't be touched by anyone but her own kind without inflicting pain beyond measure. Soon desperate for closeness, Murdoch and Danii will do anything to have each other. Can they find the key that will finally allow them to slake the overwhelming desire burning between them? New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling author Gena Showalter puts a daring spin on a tale of huntress and hunted...and concocts a sensual chemistry that is positively explosive. Aleaha Love can be anyone - literally. With only skin-to-skin contact, she can change her appearance, assume any identity. Her newest identity switch has made her an AIR (alien investigation and removal) agent and sends her on a mission to capture a group of otherworldly warriors. Only she becomes the captured. Breean, a golden-skinned commander known for his iron will who is at once dangerous and soul-shatteringly seductive, threatens her new life. Because for the first time, Aleaha only wants to be herself....

Dark Needs at Night's Edge
Same series' formula of a tormented vampire and an immortal woman he can barely touch, but darker with murder, madness and a ghostly heroine.
Sweet Ruin
Another Immortals After Dark fated-mate pairing with a morally grey vampire, but built on enemies-to-lovers antagonism and more explicit blood-play.
Legacy (The Sharing Knife #2)
Also a fated bond across incompatible peoples facing prejudice, though quieter, far less spicy, and more focused on family politics than magical desire.
Outlander
Another fated, forbidden love where a warrior claims a woman across impossible barriers, but slower, grittier, and historical rather than paranormal insta-love.
The little minister
Keeps the forbidden-love pull of duty versus desire, but it's chaste, gentle village comedy instead of scorching immortal passion.
Until the end of time
Shares the fated soulmates-across-time idea and reunion hope, but it's quiet contemporary drama with grief, almost no heat.
