Kensington Publishing Corp. has announced an exclusive partnership with retailer BooksA-
Million to launch Lyrical High Notes, a new program through which select titles from the
publisher’s digital imprint will be brought to print for the first time. These special editions
will be made available for a limited period exclusively at Books-A-Million as trade paperbacks
with a consumer-friendly price point of $12.95.
Steven Zacharius, President and CEO of Kensington Publishing Corp, said, “We’re thrilled to be
partnering with Books-A-Million to extend the readership of these fresh and edgy books. Each of
the titles chosen for the Lyrical High Notes program was highly successful in its e-only format,
and these special printed editions will give our digital-first authors the retail presence that they
deserve.”
The program will launch in November 2014 with the release of three USA Today bestselling
romances previously available only as eBooks: Consumed by Rebecca Zanetti, Shadowed by
Rebecca Zanetti and Playing the Game by M. Q. Barber. Following the release of two more trade
paperbacks in January 2015, Crossing the Line by M.Q. Barber and Better than Perfect by
Kristina Mathews, the program will continue with one new release per month for the remainder
of the year. Books-A-Million will be the exclusive retailer for the Lyrical High Notes trade
paperback editions for each title’s initial three months in print.
Margaret Terwey, Senior Buyer, Books-A-Million, commented, “I’m so excited to partner with
Kensington for the opportunity to offer bestselling eBooks in print format exclusively for Books-
A-Million customers.”
Kensington and Books-A-Million also have teamed up on a multi-channel campaign to promote
the launch of the new program through online, social media, event and print marketing. In
addition, a “Lyrical High Notes Welcome Committee” of bloggers will be tapped to support the
arrival of the new books in print with online giveaways and virtual events.

Consumed (Dark Protectors #4)
by Rebecca Zanetti
Summary from Goodreads:
SOMETIMES YOU MATE FOR LIFE Katie Smith is the best of her class, part of an elite hunting
force trained to eliminate werewolves from the hills of Western Virginia. She's good at it because
she has the kind of focus and drive that won't back down no matter how steep the odds. Call it
southern sass. Whatever it is, there's no denying her willingness to risk everything for the only
man she's ever cared about-a man on the verge of losing his very humanity...
SOMETIMES YOU MATE TO STAY ALIVE
For the past ten years Jordan Pride has dedicated his life to protecting his people from a deadly
shifter virus. But in a rare moment of distraction, Jordan's guard drops just long enough for his
fate to take an irreversible twist. Unless the woman he loves surrenders everything to him, again
and again, under a full moon rising...
"Hot and fast from beginning to end."

Shadowed (Dark Protectors #6)
by Rebecca Zanetti
Summary from Goodreads:
Jase Kayrs was the fun brother. The warm, charming, easy-going brother of the vampire leaders.
Until he was taken and tortured by demons with their evil mind tricks for nearly five years. Upon
his return, he’s dark, violent, and not the man they all thought they knew. Not the man he once
was. He’s haunted that the only reason the demons would have let him live was to use him as a
weapon against his family—but he can’t figure out when or how he’ll explode. Plus, once again
the demons are after Jase with a vengeance…or rather, a female demon he rejected is out to
destroy him.
Then the king asks Jase for a favor…a big one. To mate with one of their allies in order to save
her. She’s everything that’s good and light in the world…while he’s at home with darkness. Yet
he agrees…knowing mating may be the only chance to save them both.

Summary from Goodreads:
She expects dinner with neighbors, but gets sex with a side of safewords.
Mechanical engineer Alice still drools over her sexy neighbors a year after she’s moved in. She
can’t decide whether they’re roommates or partners, but either way, they spark a wanton desire
in her that has her imagination--and vibrator--working overtime.
Henry, director of everything around him, studies human nature and applies philosophies to his
paintings as well as his relationships. Quirky, polite to a fault, and formal, he follows his own
code of honor even when it means denying himself.
Flirtatious and playful, Jay needs stability, guidance, and to please others. His antics
counterbalance Henry’s stuffy ways while he brings a level of vulnerability and fun to everything
the trio does.
BDSM play with the enigmatic artist and flirtatious joker across the hall allows Alice to put
aside the linear thought processes which have kept her unsatisfied and distant with other lovers.
She must dismiss her preconception of love, sacrificing her independence, if she’s to find a
permanent place in their beds and hearts.
