I thought things were calming down and getting back to normal. After a foray into the elven lands to rescue my friend from the nefarious clutches of the dark elves, I'd been looking forward to spending a nice quiet holiday in Cedar Falls with the people I love. Especially the guys. We deserved a break and some alone time. But I should have known better than that. Instead of Jingle Bells, spiked eggnog, and date nights, I'm faced with angry ghosts, rotten zombies, witch-hating locals, a pissed off vampire lord, and a partridge in a pear tree.

As the daughter of an Inari Fox, celestial messenger to the gods, I should have been reverent, wise, and collected like my father. As the daughter of a kitsune queen, I should have been poised and delicate, with just a hint of playfulness to pay homage to the fox spirit within, just like my mother. Unfortunately, genetics can be unpredictable, and they ended up with a hot mess dipped in sarcasm, rolled in spunk, drizzled with sass, and sprinkled with pop-rocks.

One warrior queen, three dragons, and a formidable fae demigod. A reverse harem that heats your blood with four mates! My princes and I return to the Dragon Realm, only to find the mad Dragon King has burned half of the kingdom, and the dark fae's army is at our door. To defeat our ancient foes and put the broken realm back together, I must go on a quest to uncover the origin of my curse and unleash the great, terrible magic in me. But I can't leave my people to face the evil alone. In the midst of crisis, my dragon general returned.

As a half-witch and half-coyote shifter, I can do without mingling with the sexy-as-sin shifters that I help by lifting curses, but it pays the bills, and I can secretly gather intel on my missing father. Yet working with them means never surrendering to my passion and doing my best to keep all those handsome beasts at arm’s length. That is until I discover that I’m destined to be the thirteenth zodiac. And the shifter council orders me to mate with 12 hot shifters to keep everyone from going insane.

My mates and I march into the dark Fae's court, where I was born and cursed. The usurper Fae queen, my aunt, rules with whip, blade, and dark magic. I'm determined to end her reign of terror once and for all. As the daughter to the First Princess, I'm the rightful heir to the throne, despite being a hybrid - half-Fae, half-dragon. And with the great magic of light awakening in me, I can unite all Fae and dragon realms, with my mates by my side.

Heaven and Hell are after us, and I’m yearning for some hot gooey cheese, the smell of marinara, and the heat of my pizza ovens. It’s not safe for my employees if I show up at work, but laying low isn’t my style. When an archangel grabs my demon prince, I’m itching for a fight. As my magical powers evolve, I’m more than willing to go on the offensive, but that isn't what fate intends. Instead of fighting to get my prince back, I’m searching for the battery of souls fueling Mammon's campaign to conquer Hell.

Jacob is always the one who eases tension with a quick joke. He's fourth in the Blue Mountain Pack and finds himself eating lunch at the Pack Bar and Grill almost everyday, thanks to the new waitress....

"Marry the devil...or die." That's the ultimatum Belle Harrison, vampire slayer, just received from a demon. Belle has only one response: To hell with him. Turns out it's not that easy, though - apparently the devil doesn't know the meaning of the word no. Lucky for Belle, three pantie-melting vampires come to her aid. Three hot vampires she can't resist. Hey, we all have our vices. Hers just happen to have fangs. She's going to need these three to help her thwart the devil's marriage proposal and defeat the terrifying dark force that wants her dead.

Another god joining my not-a-fan club. They say the third one's the charm...but not in this case. One wants to use me, one wants to kill me, and the new one wants me to do what every god in the nine realms failed to do...kill a god and put an end to Ragnarok. It's like they don't even know me at all. I fall down getting dressed. Thankfully, I have three-and-a-half boyfriends to help with the hard stuff and keep me safe. Especially when my arch nemesis, Sabine, escapes the school dungeon and is Hel bent on turning me into a Kaede-kabob.

Life can change so suddenly, leaving you standing there with your heart in your throat - unsure of what to do. I’ve never been good at playing the damsel in distress, which means it’s time to do something about it. My life has taken a turn I never expected it to take. I have a Triad. Three beautiful, annoying men have taken up residence in my home and in my life.

Ariel Kimber has finally settled into her life. Life is golden, shiny, and the potential for happy days - endless. Until it’s not.

With her coven of guys, her psychotic father, and the honorable Marcus Cole by her side, she can make it through anything.... Even the Council.

Demons aren't supposed to be allies, let alone lovers, but here I am. Know that expression to hell and back? Been there, done that, just to save one of them. Sure, it was terrifying, but it beats meeting the in-laws. Aaron, my half-angel boyfriend, is just dying to take me home to dear old mom and dad. Meanwhile, in the struggle to avert the apocalypse, Lucifer himself has taken an interest in me and graces my pizza parlor to give me a warning. I'm in danger from his rival, Mammon, who is trying to take over hell, but that's old hat for me.

For some, suffering less is as close to being happy as they’ll ever get. Alessa Dean is a girl who’s used to suffering. She was someone’s daughter, sister, niece. She was whole...once. Now, she’s got nothing left to lose and a choice to make that could change her life forever. A choice given to her by three men who belong to the Wayward Kraken motorcycle club. Three men who give her a way out and a chance to start over. Will she take that chance and possibly find the ability to not only love someone else once again, but to love herself?

Trick and treat. Daya the nutbag decided that the best way to build a relationship with his daughter was to kidnap her. His daughter, that's me, has decided that I don't feel like having a relationship with him. He says he wants to make up time when really he wants to control my power. The lady doth protest, a lot. The guys try to stage a rescue and fail, so I decide that I'm sick of sitting and waiting for rescue. I'm going to rescue myself. One of the first things I'm going to do when I get home...I'm going to kiss the smirk off of Trick's face. If I survive my escape.

The job was supposed to be boring, but the last thing he was expecting was an acrobat witch to be his mate. Lily is a green witch in the Cirque de Nuit Pride doing acrogymnastics with her brother, Cole.

A rash of attacks on humans in their territories has one purpose and one purpose only—to cause chaos within the Blue Mountain Pack territory. Newly bitten wolves need a lot of time and care, that is, if they survive. One of these humans just so happens to be Liam's mate.
