Synopsis
Sacrifices of the body cannot compare with the ecstasy that comes from sacrifices of the heart.
Bound by Blood: For centuries, sacrificial offerings have kept peace between humans and the immortal Kin who feed on their blood. When his sister is chosen, Daniel offers himself in her place. Daniel has grown up believing the Kin to be heartless monsters. He never imagined the Kin lord’s touch would stir hiss body and heart, would make him crave the very thing he’d always feared: the sweet, sharp burn of fangs in his neck.
Bound by Desire: Keelie al’Trega marries Lord Kalen to secure peace between their two planets. Then she learns the terrible truth — becoming his mate will create an unbreakable psychic bond between them, a bond so intense and powerful that it can drive a person insane. Is Kalen worth the risk?
No Shame: Paul’s never told anyone about his fantasies of being spanked and flogged, until he meets Kade — a sensual, experienced man who offers to fulfill his every hidden desire. But Paul soon realizes that he might be in over his head…
Flesh and Spirit: Rose has always dreamed of serving Kalia, the goddess of healing and pleasure. But in order to become a priestess, she has to complete a ritual in which she casts aside all inhibitions and enters a trance of sexual ecstasy. Gabe and Rafe are more than happy to help her complete her Initiation. But can Rose handle what they have in mind?
Publisher’s Note: Boundaries (Box Set) contains the previously published novellas Bound by Blood, Bound by Desire, No Shame, and Flesh and Spirit.

Excerpt from Bound by Blood
Paul fumbled, grabbed his glasses, and slipped them onto his face. He breathed a small sigh of relief as the world snapped into focus. “Thank you.” He looked up at his rescuer.
A man stood over him. He was tall, leanly muscled, with a small goatee and untidy reddish hair that almost reached his shoulders. He wore a faded black jacket and equally faded jeans. Slowly, Paul stood, staring into the man’s eyes. They were warm
brown. No — not brown. Amber.
He could stare into those for hours.
“Mind if I sit here?” The man nodded to the empty stool next to Paul’s.
“S-sure.” He pushed his glasses up the slope of his nose. “Go ahead.”
The man slid onto the stool. “You gonna sit?” He nodded to the seat next to him.
“Better hurry, seats fill up fast here.”
Paul sat.
The man’s posture was loose and relaxed, almost slumped, but it was the kind of relaxation that came with complete confidence in one’s own strength, like a tiger lounging in the grass. There were hints of red in his amber-brown eyes — or was it just the lighting?
Every nerve in Paul’s body was suddenly alert and tingling. A warm, prickling wave of adrenaline washed over his brain. Somehow, just sitting next to the man dialed up all his senses. He took a gulp of beer and focused on breathing, trying to bring his racing heartbeat under control.
The man stuck out a hand. “Kade. Kade Marco.”
Paul grasped the hand. It was firm, the palm studded with calluses. Kade must work with his hands. Construction, maybe? “Paul,” he murmured.
Kade pointed a long finger at his glass. “You want another?”
Paul glanced down and realized, to his surprise, that he’d almost finished his beer. He’d practically gulped it down in his nervousness. “Um… sure.”
“They brew their own here, you know.”
Paul nodded. He should probably say something clever, but his mind was a complete blank.
Kade ordered two more beers. The bartender — a huge, bald man covered with tattoos — slid the foaming glasses across the counter. Kade took a swig and licked foam from his upper lip. “I like coming here,” he said. “Sometimes I just sit and enjoy the
atmosphere. It’s a nice break from the mundane, you know?”
He had a good voice. Warm and deep. Rich, like chocolate.
Paul gulped down more beer. He took another cautious peek into Kade’s eyes. He hadn’t imagined it; there were hints of red, like fire trapped inside colored
glass. “Your eyes are incredible.”
Oh God. Had he said that out loud? “I-I mean –”
“Thanks.” Kade sounded amused. “So are yours.”
He ducked his head, cheeks blazing. “They’re gray,” he muttered. “And nearsighted. They’re the most ordinary eyes on the planet.”
“That so?”

AJ Graham has a passion for cold weather, unusual beers, and anything otherworldly. Dragons, demons, shapeshifters and psychics have always populated their imagination, but sometimes the real world can be just as fascinating and mysterious. And no matter the genre, AJ has always loved stories about soulmates connecting. Whether it’s instant, explosive passion or a slow burn, the power of two (or more) minds and bodies coming together to form a greater whole is always a story worth telling. AJ lives in the Chicago suburbs with their husband.
