I made my choice. I took the hard way out. Now all of our fates are riding on the dice I’m about to throw and luck never was on our side. I was whole once, with my boys in this slice of paradise we’d carved out for ourselves, but in the time that we were parted we grew up. Grew apart. And as much as I might have yearned to reclaim that girl with the sand between her toes and the sun on her cheeks, it’s time I admit that I spent too long in the shadows to ever truly be her again.

Lurking in the shadows surrounded by secrets and lies. Nothing in this world I live in ever comes easy, least of all love. In order to be with the men I crave, we have to hide from the world. When people say it’s a matter of life and death? Yeah, if he found out it could equal my demise. They say if you want something enough, isn’t it worth the sacrifice? It’s not as easy as it sounds. With each passing day, I begin second guessing every choice. Living in fear isn’t something I ever thought I’d have to do. But this is what my life’s become. The heart wants what it wants.

Mack Emerson is a single-minded business titan who has no time for relationships, especially with a much younger innocent woman. I tried to hide my immediate attraction to the hefty dark-haired giant of a man, but I’ve never been able to lie, and it doesn’t take long for the inconvenient chemistry between us to combust. We have an unforgettable turn past third base on his desk, but it’s a one-time only mistake…that has a shocking and unexpected consequence. And now I’m doing my best to hide my secret pregnancy under flowing dresses and behind file folders.

I never asked to be the key to an ancient power, but here I am—trapped by a ruthless wolf enforcer who thinks he can control me. Big mistake. Because Angelo, my fated mate and the most dangerous mafia king in New Orleans, is tearing the city apart to find me. And he doesn't believe in mercy.

I can’t say I don’t deserve the penalty time. I’ve been keeping secrets, huge ones, from those closest to me. I mean, sometimes a girl just needs something that’s solely hers. Something she can hold close to her heart or, more accurately, her greedy little Omega pus… Well, you can probably read between the lines—something is more like someones.

Kidnapped from my college campus, just as I tasted freedom, I’m sold to the Angel of Death—Angelo Santi, the vampire mafia King. I’m now a captive in a world I never knew existed, caught in a tangled web of ancient feuds and dangerous desires. He claims that I have the power to save his people by reigniting a dying magical stone. He’s delusional. I have no powers, but if I try to escape, he’ll start by killing my best friend and move to everyone I’ve ever loved.

From the moment I scent her, I have to have her underneath me. The human female spins and runs straight into my chest. “Oh!” she says but then she stops, frozen as she stares up at me. “Hi.” I, too, am stopped in place. This female is nothing like the others I have seen. She is petite, with long flowing black hair. Her features are as foreign to me as any humans, but for some reason I find her face pleasing.

Adara and Einar are at a crossroads. With no allies left in the fae realm, they only have one option left to unlock Adara's powers—the dragons who fled Ediria nearly twenty years ago. To find the dragons, Adara will have to travel to the heart of Mount Furian and access the portal they used to escape. Since Einar cannot cross the portal himself, she will have to travel to this dangerous new realm and convince the dragons to help her without her staunchest ally by her side.

It was supposed to be a fun getaway with my best friend - until I ran out of gas in the Middle of Nowhere, Montana. There I was, freezing to death, when three men came to my rescue and thawed the icicles around my heart. There's one little problem: They aren't human. When my own haunted past comes calling, they stand by my side and protect me. But can I overcome my own demons and accept I have mates? Or will my own fears cripple me?

After graduating high school and having been accepted into one of the most prestigious paranormal universities in North America, Black Veil University, everything is finally going as planned. Or so I thought before four insanely hot men crashed their way into my life—each with a unique connection to me whether they want it or not. We are tied together. Lives are turned upside down, hearts are torn and shattered, and those deep, dark secrets that I have held hostage start to slip. But when the dark shadows of my past come knocking, I may need every little bit of help I can get.

As the omega who never manifested, I became the family secret. That is, until a wealthy alpha makes me a deal: Marry him and pretend to be his pack omega so he receives his inheritance. After six months, I’ll get my money and live out the rest of my life in peace.

I just want a quiet life on a beach with my mates to keep me busy. Is that too much to ask? Clearly, the answer to that question is yes. Maybe it was payback for the whole punching death in the face thing. Whatever the reason, Fate enjoyed creating chaos in my life.

He’s my best friends dad. But he wants me to call him Daddy. I just spent the last four years studying to become a nurse. Now I’m sitting on a mountain debt. Rather than spend the rest of my life paying it off, I find a second job where the money is too good to turn down. The plan is, become a high end escort, get a few wealthy clients and quit as soon as I make enough to pay off my student loans. Only when I knock on the door of my first client on my very first day, I would never have expected it to be him.

I wasn't expecting to find a man whilst drowning my sorrows and hiding from my responsibilities in the filthiest bar in the city. Hatter is elusive, beautiful… and sad. Tempting enough to make me throw my usual caution aside and steal him. Just for a night. One night, to help us both forget. I expected him to leave me. But I didn't expect the invitation he left behind. Wonder. The most exclusive club in the city. Always moving, never discovered, and impossible to enter without permission. So naturally, I stole it. Except Wonder isn't quite what the whispers say.

Of course I’d wind up kidnapped. As if the jungle, viper bites, piranhas, killer bugs, and the five sexy dipstick-for-brains I saved weren’t enough, I’m now a captive of some lab coat weirdos in an experimentation facility. Another rare shifter is being held here. I can feel him. Yep, another freaking mate. In case you haven’t been counting, that makes it six fated mates…sheesh! Who did I tick off in the universe to deserve all of this? No need to send help, because I’ve got this...as soon as I find some clothes.

They took me by surprise, and now I'm forced to hold my breath. An anger burns inside me that can't be extinguished. Jax, Blake, and Morgan made the wrong choice, and now they're going to pay. The thing is, I don't want to hurt them. Can I forgive them or will I let my anger consume me? I'm changing and I don't know if I like what I've become. A new threat leaves me with a choice....do I sink or do I swim?

Anastasia Cooper is the most hated woman in Sorelle. To avoid the modern slavery charges leveled against her by her scheming stepsister, she opts for a quiet life under house arrest to escape the frenzy of the media. But she wasn't banking on them. The Tate brothers. Feared by all, everyone knows that Christopher, Silas, and Rafael Tate are the real power behind the throne of Sorelle. And they've been looking for Stasi for a very long time. Determined to make Stasi's life as difficult as possible, Kit, Silas, and Rafe take every opportunity to remind her how far she's fallen.

Once upon a time, there was a young girl named Goldilocks, who innocently wandered into a home owned by a family of bears.... Okay, my name is Ria. And I may have broken in, but I was high and it was cold outside. Oh, and the bears were actually shifters. Potayto, potahto. The point is, I’m kind of a wreck. Plus, I robbed my cheating, lying a-hole of an ex-boyfriend on my way out the door and he’s not thrilled about it, so I’m stuck with these three distractingly attractive men for the time being—one of whom is weirdly hung up on the whole breaking-and-entering thing. What could go wrong?

His job was to protect the pack. Instead, he tried to kill me, and now three of my mates are in danger. Will a new ally help me take back what I've lost or will I have to take matters into my own hands? There's a storm coming and it has red hair and an appetite for more than just deer.

My world shattered the day my parents didn’t show up to my graduation. Grieving and lost, I discover my adoption certificate hidden in a drawer, unearthing a secret no one wanted me to know. Needing answers, I move to Arbor Falls to find out who abandoned me over two decades ago. Instead, I discover a world I never knew existed when I shift into a wolf for the first time. But I’m different from the others, and not everyone can accept that this forgotten wolf is here to stay. Everyone except my four mates.
