Some people are attracted to brooding loners hiding dark secrets, and in stories where paranormal entities are involved, these characters often reveal themselves to be wildly alluring creatures, such as werewolves and vampires. If you're looking for books that feature high-octane action and steamy, intimate scenes, then here, in no particular order, are ten dangerous and enticing paranormal romances.
First up, at #1, we have "Lancaster House" by Taylor Dean. Looking for a fresh start, interior designer Zoe Grayson purchases an old, rundown Victorian mansion, which she's determined to renovate and sell for a profit.

She soon ends up in a psychiatric hospital, where she must convince people that the events she's witnessed in the mansion actually happened.
Next, at #2, is "Wolf at the Door" by Sofia Grey. After breaking up with her boyfriend, pop star Lillian decides to retreat to a remote cabin.
