I knew the second I'd arrived back in Portland he'd know I was here within days, so it wasn't a shock to me that he came knocking on my door, literally. Kaden was my first love, but he isn't the same man anymore. These days he goes by another name, Kinetic, one he was given when he went overseas. Now he's in a biker club and living a totally different life. I came back here to take care of my elderly mother, but I didn't come alone.

Ember is a succubus, consuming in every sense. My theory is proven when I specifically ignore Ember for an entire month, yet her scent remains in my nostrils, the vision of her in my mind’s eye. Her peppery musk dances along the back of my tongue, ruining my taste for anyone else. Savannah Merricourt is labeled as my intended, and I should accept it, as I do everything, because my father’s too powerful and I’ve been locked in the basement too many times.

The rules are clear. We just chose not to follow them. Now we're sneaking around like we're running a trick play, hooking up behind closed doors, and pretending our actions don't have the power to blow up our lives. Knox is under my skin and tackling his way into my heart. Ready or not, it's time we make the play. I'd risk the season—my entire career—for her just to make the play.

When my publishing company goes bankrupt, taking all my income with it, my friend offers me a place to stay. Unfortunately, it comes with his grumpy but sexy brother, Lars, who keeps popping by to fix something. My real problem starts the night a strange man digs up the backyard. When he doesn't find what he's looking for, he stalks me, convinced I'll lead him to it. When I don't, he makes it clear he'll do whatever it takes to get it back. Lars promises to protect me. I'm drawn to him in a way I can't explain, and I worry it may be my heart that needs protecting.

Foster girl. Trash. That’s all I am to the world. And that’s fine. After surviving New Jersey’s foster system, I can survive anything. Even taking a dangerous job from a tall, gorgeous stranger so I can keep my little sister safe - a job that goes very, very wrong.

My world consisted of a web of tangled lies. It was show room perfect, an illusion. One I wanted desperately to escape. Then, fate intervened and revealed something new.

I don't believe in love at first sight. But hate at first sight? That I have experience with . . . Sebastian Aster is a sexy billionaire with a dark, tragic past. He’s also a grumpy, alpha jerk. It doesn't matter that he's here to help save my parents' winery. Or that making an enemy of him...

It was for a time. I was the Rebel Skull’s cherished and protected little MC princess. My childhood was storybook perfect. In my world, nothing bad existed. My days were spent on the back of my dad’s bike or playing in the woods with my grandfather. Together we battled bad guys and slayed dragons. And then tragedy struck. I didn’t know that there were bad guys in real life. Dangerous ones with no moral compass.

My angel mom gave me the best family. An entire club actually. Best of all were my grandparents. They even moved to a nearby farm to be closer to me. They didn't get to watch her grow up, so they weren't about to miss anything with me. But my grandfather passed a few months ago and now I think my grandmother might be losing her mind. She thinks she has woodland fairies. So when she decides to move to town, I breathe a sigh of relief. I thought it was a great idea, until she tells me that I've just inherited the farm. This isn't going to work. I'm not known for staying in one place.

Being adopted by Big Dan and Lily was the equivalent of winning the lottery. When they found me, I was like a dried-up plant that had been neglected. My leaves were brittle. My roots stunted. They took me in, pruned me, planted me in nutrient rich soil, and began to water me daily. But as I grew, as all cared for plants do, I slowly began to outgrow my pot. The place that had once felt so comfortable, began to press in on me. It had become so familiar, I decided I didn't want to leave.

Vale Tenebris has a big problem–she needs to get her and her sister out of the Perder Lucem like yesterday. Living with a bunch of cave-dwelling magic hunters wouldn’t be so bad if she wasn’t hiding what she is from the very people sworn to kill her. Her escape plans crumble to dust when she has to choose between the freedom she longs for and saving her sister from the clan leader’s son. Forced to use the unruly magic, she exposes the one thing that would mean her execution.

My notorious, gang leader brother keeps me in a gilded cage, out of his business and away from the sinister underworld of Reaper Falls. When a threat too great for him to handle throws my perfectly orchestrated life into chaos, I'm finally set free. Free from not only him, but from myself. Because I'm not the girl everyone thinks I am. Those who crossed my family will pay a hefty price. I'll make sure of it. The only complication? Three men who refuse to let me out of their sight.

Six years ago strangers broke into my house while I was home alone. I hid, but one of them found me. I expected death, but he spared me. I thought it was over … except for the nightmares. But he was only waiting for me to ripen to his taste. I’m not the first girl he’s taken to sate his dark hunger, but I will be the last.

At the end of a terrible war, a sorcerer casts a curse that destroys every female in the entire race of dragons. In retaliation, Kyreagan, the dragon prince, leads a raid on the sorcerer's kingdom, during which the male dragons snatch human women and carry them off to the dragons' domain. When Princess Serylla is captured by the Prince of Dragons and taken to his cave, she is furious, terrified, and determined to make his existence so miserable he'll either have to kill her or let her go.

Trent “Diablo” Dillon—he’s my devilishly hot boss, and he’s gonna make my money problems disappear. The catch? Pretend to be his girlfriend at three weddings this summer. He needs to get his pushy family off his back. I need a windfall. Besides, I’m used to dealing with Trent’s demands at work. But sharing a bed with my fake boyfriend is more than I can take. After one sizzling night, I’m addicted to his rock hard…er, abs. The craziest part? I’m falling for my grumpy boss—the one who plans to never settle down. My feelings for him are real. And so is this baby I’m having in nine months.

I thought I had survived the kings’ games. I thought I had finally emerged victorious. I was wrong. Reeling from the disappearance of one of my mates, I must fight harder and smarter than ever before.

In one moment, my freedom is snatched away when my father tells me I have to marry a man I’ve never met. I expect an 80-year-old retired boss who craves my virgin flesh in payment for his service. Bright side—in a few years, he’ll be gone, and I’ll be free again. I’m not prepared for the dangerously gorgeous soldier my father presents. Like anything that looks too good to be true, so is my new husband. He’s cold, cruel, and worst of all, young. Suddenly, marriage is a life sentence. That is, if I don’t show him from day one that no one controls Eliza Pomponio.

When the Damning commences (a fight to the death against the world's most brutal serial killers, assassins, and torturers), a twist of fate finds me as one of the competitors. Despite my initial reluctance, I find myself eagerly participating.

This was supposed to be an easy job. One where I took out a magic-crazed witch, got my reward, then went about my business. Except when I find my target, things get complicated quickly. Kinsley isn’t just any mark. She’s my mate. One I don’t want. Only the longer I’m with her, the more I realize that Kinsley might be telling the truth. That maybe I was lied to when I took this job because one thing I know for sure…my mate isn’t a witch. She’s the shifter heir to a house that will sooner take her life than welcome her in.
