Fire was my only companion. A burning light in a world otherwise filled with darkness. A life of pain and abuse I never thought I’d escape. I’m still not convinced I have. When friendly Santa-figure turned trucker, Al, finds me at a rest stop and offers me a job at his idyllic farm in small-town Nebraska, the picturesque family life is more than I could hope for.

All I wanted was a little trouble. Okay, so, maybe, choosing Cruz Donovan’s 18th birthday party wasn’t the way to go about it. Three years ago, I fell for him. I thought he fell for me, too. But when he broke it off, he took my heart, and as if that wasn’t enough, he took my best friends, too. They aren’t the same boys I knew before high school started.

Every wrongdoing warrants a consequence. In my case, I've decided to settle the score with death. Especially when what brought this on, what stirred up my crazy, was the vicious attack on an innocent young girl. Worse, one that ended in her death. For years, I've been plotting to take out the men I used to call my brothers. The men who double-crossed me by brutally murdering my sister.

When escaping, one should make a plan. Someone should have told past-me that first.... I also need to fix a little issue or four if I ever escape. "Surprise, I have a caster for mate" wasn’t exactly how I saw my wedding going. I also didn’t see this. He betrayed me. Now that I’ve found my powers, you’d think I know what I’m doing. The betrayal among the wolves is worse than ever, and I’m not sure how to end it. Add in that my past is catching up to me and I just have more questions.

I'm Colby Hendrix. Football Legend. Notorious Playboy. Sarcasm Extraordinaire. I had everything you could ever want. The career some would die for, friends that always have my back, and an unmatched level of charm. I never planned on settling down. There wasn't ever a reason to. At least, that's what I thought until she came barreling back into my life. With long brown hair and hazel eyes, she has the ability to disarm me with a single look. The little girl attached to her side? She's the shock I never knew I wanted.

The second our eyes met from across the club, I could feel a shift in the air—an overwhelming pull drawing me in. One mind-blowing night is all it was, or so I thought. Repeating my senior year may not have been the plan, but finding out my one-night stand is my new teacher—that’s something I never saw coming. His gaze bores into me with the same intensity. That body, those hands, I remember every touch. I should stay away, but I don’t want to. This time, all bets are off. I’ll let him think he’s in control—until I bring him to his knees.

I was running from my husband, a man I thought I’d known. Running from the hell he had put me through. But there was one problem. I hadn’t planned for Ashton Montgomery. He was a distraction I couldn’t allow. Not if I wanted to stay safe. I had to remain distant, but he was relentless and had other ideas.

Ever since Medusa unwittingly crossed her school’s resident mean girl, her life has been hell. If only she could keep her distance from Perseus who has a knack for always being in the wrong place at the right time. But rivalry goes too far when a curse that can destroy the village is cast. Only the favor of the gods can reverse it, but the gods are vengeful and not always forgiving.

Basketball star Kerri "Killer" O'Connor knows she's bad luck, and she's tried everything to keep it from ruining her life - a rabbit's foot, a horseshoe, her dad's lucky shirt - she's never without one. When her dad gets hurt in a freak accident on Friday the 13th, Kerri is sure she's to blame, but then a boy shows up wearing her father's old sweatshirt, and Kerri's luck suddenly does a 180. Convinced that Connor Murphy is the talisman she needs to change her fate, Kerri begs him to be there for her while her dad is recuperating.

He can't save himself, but he'll save her.... Rhys is a disaster: too violent for his old pride, and more accustomed to using his fists instead of his words. He's managed to carve out a place among the Crowley lions, but his temper still rides him hard. The only balm is Sage, a shattered woman with a core of fire. He wants to bring it out of her. Can he avoid getting burned? Sage narrowly escaped a forced mating, but she can't quite manage to pick up the pieces. Except when she's around Rhys.

Shifters are bad juju, and Seth’s sexy intensity feels like some serious black magic. But the most dangerous escaped con wants Lilah dead. Enraged and at the end of her strength she flees - right into the jaws of the enemy’s trap. There’s no choice but to accept Seth’s protection.

The time has come to pick The One. With one bachelor missing and chaos in her heart, Kimmie-Jayne must find the strength to choose the final two. Once that terrible decision is made, she's sure things will be easier. But she's wrong. When jealousy flares within the manor, the producers sequester the final two bachelors. As Kimmie-Jayne battles her fracturing heart, torn between two men, news of a surprise visit home sends her hopes soaring. But it's short-lived. Disaster hits while she's at home, leading Kimmie-Jayne to make a startling discovery about her past.

Five bachelors left. Four mystical families to meet and territories to explore. Four chances to avoid a supernatural war. Kimmie-Jayne thought discovering the bachelors were supernatural was tough, until she finds out she has to spend the week with their families. Now she's whisked off to meet four of the most powerful families of Azar. If she can survive dragon lords, daunting angels, the intrigue of Fae court, and the Underworld, she'll end up with the man of her dreams. Or so she hopes. But nothing is as it seems in each of these households.

One touch, one spark, two lives forever changed. Pine and Azure. The war between the two kingdoms lasted far too long. Peace was finally established, but the survivors would never forget who fought on the front lines. Oliver Sage had a reputation for being a ruthless knight. He’d seen enough death to last a lifetime and worked on putting the past behind him, although not all would let him forget. Addison was the only daughter of King and Queen Azure. With three brothers, she knew she’d always be protected, but she also wanted to learn how to take care of herself.

You know that old saying…. He's the next big thing. Yeah, that was me. I was a rising star, and I couldn't have been happier. Fame, money, women at every turn. I had it all, until the day my world came crashing in. I never fathomed this would be my life. But here I am, a single dad at 28, and I have no clue what I'm doing. I pray every day I'm giving her the best life, 'cause it's the only one I know. The minute I had lost everything and had nothing left to give. Charlee showed up.

I’m finally mated to the Beast Lord. Our magical bond is incredible. Thanks to his invention, we have children on the way. But will they be born werewolves, or something else? That’s not all I’m worried about. I’ve been having intense dreams. In my sleep, I slip into the skin of animals or people. I share their minds, their lives—and their deaths.

They say everyone has their inner demons, but in my case, I really do. Two hundred years ago, my mother summoned my inner monster. Since then, other than making me immortal, my demon has been trying to teach me murder, irresponsible lust, bloodthirsty violence, and the joys of total mayhem. Meanwhile, I’m trying to instill in him the best of human characteristics: compassion, understanding, moderation - you get the idea. Having an inner demon has made relationship issues challenging.
