When mystery author D. B. Ziegler is late delivering her book, Abi Schore steps in to help. Surely she can give her favorite author moral support over the holiday break and get the manuscript to her boss at Tea & Sympathy Publishing in time for the new year. When Abi shows up on Ms. Ziegler’s doorstep bearing holiday treats, she’s met by the author’s handsome grandson Dov, who reveals a startling plot twist. His grandmother isn’t able to finish the book and Dov promised he’d complete it so fans won’t be disappointed—a task that’s harder than he ever imagined.

Two little girls stand with their heads bowed in my living room. I’m told they’re my granddaughters. Daisy is nine, and Alice seven. Daisy is the spitting image of her mother. This is the first time I’ve met them since my daughter and I fell out after she married that waste of space, Vince. They’ve come to live with me because their mother — my daughter — was murdered. In her own home while they slept close by. I think Vince killed her. But the police can’t prove it. I’ve always known he was no good. He treated my daughter like dirt. I said he’d cheat on her — but she wouldn’t listen.

Life in the big city just wasn't her jam and now she's back in Hickory Falls, working at the family diner and helping her mom after she took a tumble. Lesley longs to build a life here, working at the cafe, selling her handmade ornaments and ... er, apparently reviving her high school crush on her best friend’s older brother.

After their visits, Scrooge is transformed into a kinder, gentler man.

It’s 1984, and life has changed beyond recognition. Airstrip One, formerly known as Great Britain, is a place where Big Brother is always watching, and nobody can hide. Except, perhaps, for Winston Smith. Whilst working at the Ministry of Truth, rewriting history, he secretly dreams of freedom. And in a world where love and sex are forbidden, where it’s hard to distinguish between friend and foe, he meets Julia and O’Brien and vows to rebel.

Clark Griswold was onto something...at least with his annual holiday meltdown. And since the last three weeks of my life have been riddled with humbug—another breakup, a broken toe, an office promotion I deserved and didn’t get—I’m not at all in the mood to celebrate nor have the happ, happ, happiest Christmas EVER.

My fiancé brought me tea and scrambled eggs in bed that morning, and we snuggled together, talking about buying our rings, and about our perfect wedding next year. Then we headed into town. He held my hand and gazed at the ring I liked best, a smile spreading slowly over his face. Then a glass of bubbly to celebrate. I felt flushed, excited and ready for the rest of my life with the man I loved. We race to get on the train home. It screams to a halt and I run towards its open doors. Made it. I think he’s right behind me — but when I turn around, he’s gone.

Lucas knows the perfect night entails just three things: video games, wine, and pad thai. Peanuts are a must! Other people? Not so much. Why complicate things when he’s happy alone? Then one day the apartment board, a vexing trio of authority, rings his doorbell. And Lucas’s solitude takes a startling hike. They demand to see his frying pan. Someone left one next to the recycling room overnight, and instead of removing the errant object, as Lucas suggests, they insist on finding the guilty party. But their plan backfires. Colossally.

Johnnie Rico never really intended to join up—and definitely not the infantry. But now that he’s in the thick of it, trying to get through combat training harder than anything he could have imagined, he knows everyone in his unit is one bad move away from buying the farm in the interstellar war the Terran Federation is waging against the Arachnids. Because everyone in the Mobile Infantry fights. And if the training doesn’t kill you, the Bugs are more than ready to finish the job.

He wanted me dead. But this time, the damsel saved herself. My stalker is gone. I’ve turned Mikhail’s game against him. And now I’m headed to the one person who might still be able to help me–and give me the escape I’d hoped for from the very beginning. There’s just one problem. I’m pregnant with Mikhail’s baby. Separated from me by an order he can’t easily ignore, he’s still determined to win me back. And he’s not the only one. All my life, I’ve been treated like a prize to be won. But now, all the choices are mine, and I’m faced with one I never thought I’d ...

He says he’s saved me from a fate worse than death. But all I see is a future that was stolen from me. Six months ago, my father promised me to the Bratva heir. My hand in marriage was meant to bridge the violence between our two families–Italian and Russian, mafia and Bratva–and bring peace. Then my father died. Now my godfather is my guardian. He believes the Bratva are ruthless animals, cruel and brutal, and that giving me over to them is signing my death warrant. So on my wedding day, he makes a fateful decision. He takes me for himself. Now I’m wed to the man who vowed to ...

In my world, pleasure is currency and love doesn’t exist. Until I meet him. After having been burned by love twice, I’m fine with being on my own. And after my last heartbreak–falling for the Bratva heir who owns the club I work at–I see no point in opening myself up to that again. He’s married someone else, and I prefer my independence. Nothing will change that. Not even the stranger who buys a night with me without realizing what it is that I really do. After that night, I assume I’ll never see Finn O’Sullivan again. But then the handsome enforcer comes back–with a ...

The final book in the Mafia Bride trilogy. Is almost losing everything enough to change a man? My husband is about to lose everything he’s worked so hard to keep. His empire. His daughter. Me. I can’t love a man who does the things that Viktor does. I can’t belong to him, not in the way I want to. It doesn’t matter what he’s awakened in me, or how much I crave him. How much my heart wants him. Or at least, that’s what I tell myself. But the danger Viktor poses to my heart isn’t all we’re facing. Alexei is coming. For me, for Sofia, for Ana, to wipe out the men of the three ...

A romance with a mafia boss has no place in my life. But he doesn’t care–not once he’s decided he wants me anyway. Six months after my father’s untimely death, I’m drowning in debt. Even working for one of the most respected celebrity tattoo artists in Los Angeles hasn’t been enough to fix that. I don’t have time to fall in love–or even to think about dating. Even a one-night-stand has become a distant possibility. Then my boss asks me to fill in for him while he’s sick–and I end up in a west LA penthouse, about to tattoo the most well-known mafia boss on this side of ...

There’s only one choice for this innocent bride. Marry me or die. I never wanted a wife. But when the Bratva tries to take what was promised to me, it’s time to claim what’s mine. I thought she would be a burden, a nuisance. A wife that I could lock away forever and forget about after our wedding night. But Sofia Ferretti turns out to be the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen. Sweet, innocent—and virginal. Too good for a ruthless killer like me. I’m not here to seduce her; I’m here to keep her alive. Safe from everyone in Manhattan who wants her dead. The Bratva are coming. ...

I’ve been taken captive by a man who wants to destroy my family. There’s no escaping him–or the way he makes me feel. I was born a mafia princess, the only daughter of the most powerful man in Italy. My purpose has always been to marry well, to be used to form an alliance that will benefit my father–and the man he chooses for me. But now I’m being used for revenge. For two years, Andre Leone has been kept as a my father’s prisoner, under house arrest on one of his estates. For two years, he plotted how he would bring my father down. And now, he’s taken his first step. He’s ...

He’s the only man I want. And the only man I can never have. A year ago, Maximilian Agosti was there for me through some of my darkest hours. From the violence I endured on the Manhattan docks, to the mountains where I was kept prisoner to the depths of a Russian safe house, he protected me. He listened to me. He was there. He shed blood for me. But once upon a time, Max was a priest. A man sworn to abjure violence, wealth, and most especially pleasure. He’s broken one of those vows. He’s made it clear he intends to keep the rest. But no matter how hard I try, I can’t stop thinking ...

All I want is my freedom. But the Bratva leader won't take no for an answer… My first husband is dead and buried. I’m left a widowed mafia princess—a dangerous title to hold, especially when one man already has his eye on me. Viktor Andreyev. His own men call him Ussuri. The Bear. Older than me, with a reputation for violence and a cruel exterior to match, he’s no one I would ever choose for a husband. In fact, I’d hoped that I’d never have to marry again at all. But he’s made the price for peace my hand in marriage. And it’s clear that I can’t refuse. I’ve survived ...

He made the choice between the life he wanted and the woman he loves. Just not in the way I’d hoped. Now I might never see him again. In an instant, my life is turned upside down. I’m no longer who I thought I was…and I no longer know who to trust. Max has rescued me from the depths of my despair before. Now, if I can find my way back to him, I want to do the same–because both of us know the truth, no matter how hard we try to fight it. I’m his obsession, his temptation, his salvation–and he’s mine. With both of our worlds devastated, there’s no point in running from it any ...

Marriage to Luca was supposed to be my salvation. Now it’s just a prison I can’t escape. Marry him or die. That was the choice.

Now I’m in a gilded cage, locked away from everything that might harm me—except for the man who holds the key. Until one passionate night makes me question everything I believed about the man I married against my will, and leaves me with a secret that I’ll die to keep. He broke his promise. Now I’m going to have to break mine. Broken...

Alexis should've never set foot in my world. Men like me stain girls like her. We take their innocence and tear it to shreds. She thinks she's tough. She thinks she can handle me. But she doesn't know just how deep my darkness goes. It was for the best that I claimed her for a night and left her behind. Anything more than that would have been cruel. I thought I'd seen the last of Alexis Wright. So imagine my surprise two years later when the door to my office opens...and she walks in.

I was in the wrong place at the wrong time, and I witnessed a crime. The police are failing to protect me. And my chance of survival isn't looking good. Andrusha is the cold and dangerous leader of the Vancouver Russian Mafia; he's also my best chance to make it to trial alive. The only thing we have in common is our shared enemy. This man is everything your mom warned you about. He's ruthless. He's cold. And he likes to be in control. I should be afraid of him. I should keep my distance. So why is he the only one who makes me feel safe? Who will protect me from my protector?

The Elite Kings Club left a trail of fear behind every person who whispered their names throughout the centuries that they'd existed. They were the product of every nightmare you were told as a child, only now, they don't go bump in the night. They race modified cars, throw parties to conceal their morbid games, and leave behind the kind of chaos that can never be tamed. They were from an ancient bloodline of the three Founding Fathers, and it was almost time for them to plunge deeper into the depths of hell.
