Once upon a time? Um, no. Because that's how fairytales start, and Ivy Addison is no princess. In fact, she's very happy being an absolute nobody. She doesn't have glass slippers or a trust fund or "graces"—and she's pretty sure she doesn't need rescuing. She also most definitely isn't overworked as the housekeeper for a rowdy pack of royals... and she certainly has no feelings for any of them. Well, aside from Asher, the Crown Prince and star of all her mortifying dreams. Or Sebastian, the oh-so-charming baron who always has a smile just for her.

There is only one Wright Thompson. He is, as they say, famous if you know who he is: his work includes the most-read articles in the history of ESPN (and it's not even close) and has been anthologized in the Best American Sports Writing series ten times, and he counts John Grisham and Richard Ford among his ardent admirers. But to say his pieces are about sports, while true as far as it goes, is like saying Larry McMurtry's Lonesome Dove is a book about a cattle drive.

As a volunteer at a shelter for lone shifters - the same one that rescued her - Makenna Wray has dedicated her life to finding homes for its residents. And when she discovers that a teen in her care is related to Ryan Conner, the broody, handsome-as-sin enforcer of the Phoenix Pack, she's eager to help connect the two. She just wasn't prepared to feel a connection of her own.

In forex trading, sentiment research is essential for comprehending the general attitude of market players and how emotions affect the value of currencies. Unlike technical and fundamental analysis, which depends on past data and macroeconomic considerations, sentiment research focuses on the psychology of traders and investors. Human behavior shapes the currency market; trends as much as economic statistics determine are dictated by optimism, anxiety, speculation, and market expectations.

No one walks away from Grayson Stryker... except Ella. Why did she leave? Where did she go? Why the hell does he still care three years later? Grayson is busy managing his family's drama and their billions. He doesn't have time to wonder about the gorgeous, one-in-a-million girl who got away... and never even bothered to say goodbye. But when Ella suddenly stumbles back into his life, Grayson can't help but wonder: could they ever get over their past and make a new future?

Devon and Tanner fight like...well, cats and dogs. Which makes sense, since hellcats and hellhounds aren't exactly a match made in heaven. Unfortunately, their demons' antipathy towards each other is matched only by the red-hot sexual tension between Tanner and Devon. It's driving them - and their long-suffering friends Harper and Knox - mad. When Devon is nearly kidnapped, Tanner's protective instincts kick into overdrive - he's sticking by her side, day and night. But staying so close means their hunger can no longer be denied....

I've got big dreams of a career on the stage. Unfortunately dreams don't pay the bills. Working as an exotic dancer for a mysterious monster client sure beats being groped by some of the sleazy humans I've danced for. Performing alone on a rooftop for a statue sounds strange, sure. Then the statue comes alive and turns into a huge, sweet protective gargoyle. My dance frees William from his rocky prison, but he tells me if I don’t stop, he'll have no choice but to claim me forever. Beneath the rough, stony exterior, my powerful gargoyle mate has a tender heart. But he's holding back.

But when the harassment turns violent, help comes in the form of a lean, toned wolf with winter-gray eyes.

In many ways, Conner seems like an ordinary boy growing up in the 1960s. But since the age of four, he and his brother have been abducted by aliens multiple times. Conner’s gift of seeing beings from the spirit world sometimes gives him access to protection and comfort, but at other times, his ability adds to the horror of being hunted by extraterrestrials.

The sound of the sirens pierced the stillness of the underground bunker, a haunting wail that echoed through the concrete walls like a banshee's cry. For two decades, the inhabitants of this subterranean refuge had lived in the shadows, shielded from the horrors of the world above. They had prepared for this moment, meticulously cataloging supplies and maintaining the air filtration systems, but nothing could have prepared them for the sheer terror that accompanied the realization that the sirens signalled the onset of a nuclear blast.
