After I was abandoned as a child, I was taken in by the Shadow Pack, a group of ruthless, lawless, shifters who have only one rule: never let anyone see your weakness. In exchange for them keeping me alive, I owe them. The leader of the Shadows is as handsome as he is ruthless. And he’s offered to wipe my debt in exchange for marriage. He’d offer protection, but it would cost me my freedom.

The stories about the fae court were true and I’m not sure if any of us will survive. Everything in the fae court wants me dead. The monsters who live here, the royal family, even the other tributes. I’m surrounded by enemies but I won’t forget the cause of all this suffering: The Fae King. If I’m going down, I’m going to take him with me.

Hope might not be enough this time. The fae king continues to claim victories and Nyx is awake. As if that wasn’t bad enough, the gods are after us and we’re running out of time. The Fae King has power he shouldn’t from a sorceress who holds the key. To defeat him, we have to go through her. But the gods are hunting us, and Nyx asked for me personally. I’ll have to face her alone while my friends work to save everyone I love. I’m afraid we aren’t going to make it out alive this time but I will do whatever it takes to give Athos a chance.

Since returning from the Umbra Estate, I’ve traded one prison cell for another. Dax keeps me under guard, tracking my every movement. He says he wants to be with me, but I know he wants to use me for whatever dark power he thinks I possess.

I knew my life would change when I traveled to Athos. I wanted to help my people, save the tributes, and make my family proud. Instead, I discovered more secrets and lies and saw my people destroyed in front of me. And then I faced the greatest betrayal yet.

After spending years training to defend my people from our enemies, I never expected that my enemy would be the one keeping me alive. Athos is the last human city. A treaty with the Fae keeps the fae, the vampires, and the wolf shifters at bay, while we fight against the dragons at our border. Being a human in this world is dangerous, and we all make sacrifices to survive.

The war between the Shadows and the Umbras will tear the entire shifter community apart. All the packs have picked a side, and if something isn’t done, it could mean the end of everything.

Everything was perfect until a powerful curse transformed my sleek wolf body into something horrific. Vile and evil, he never gave me a chance to explain. He simply saw me for what I had become and ordered the pack to kill me, before I could spread the madness of the curse to anyone else. Rejected by the man I loved and on the run from the people who I once called friends, I can’t stop moving. But I can’t keep this up forever. I must find a cure for my curse. To do that, I’ll have to journey to a place I’ve only ever heard of, but never seen: the Library of Avalon.

Ronnie Kent has been an executive escort for a long time. She knows the lines, the moves, and she definitely knows better than to fall for a client.

Diana Silver is already overworked and undervalued by her wealthy parents, and now they’re pressuring her to date a “suitable” colleague.

My mate didn’t just reject me. He tried to have me killed. Now, if I want to stop something terrible from happening, I’m going to have to track down the man who broke me, and save his life.

It always happens when you least suspect it. Love. The chemistry. The pull. Even when you don’t want it to. Timing - it’s a bitch. And then you have to make a choice. Do you regret what is, or what isn’t? Because when love’s involved, there’s always regret. And my story is no exception.

Two years ago, professional hockey player Mitch Frambough and headhunter Lexie Monroe met and sparks flew. They fell hard for each other, and everyone thought they were endgame. But now they're not together. In fact, they don't even live in the same state. When Mitch was traded from the Warriors to the Los Angeles Knights, his entire life changed with one phone call. When his life is once again upended in a split second, he finds himself back in the Mitten. Surprisingly, everyone welcomes him home with open arms. Everyone except the one person he desperately wants: Lexie.

I’ve seen enough brokenhearted saps crying over lost love to know love doesn’t really exist. Infatuation, sure. Lust, absolutely. But true love? Please. That’s strictly fiction, folks. Unfortunately, I haven’t convinced my best friend and business partner of that. The guy’s still a believer in happily ever after, despite having met—and lost—“the one” more times than I can count. And that’s pretty damn high, since I’m the numbers guy behind our hot new start-up. Tonight, I wish I had my buddy’s technical skill set.

We said it was over. We were wrong. I thought I was finally free to love the man of my dreams. To bear his children, and be his mate. Then the true enemy revealed himself, turning my fantasies to nightmares. Threatening the man I love, the future I long for, and the people my blood was born to protect. I chose this bond. I chose this life. And I will do whatever it takes to defend it. Even if it costs me my life.

Did I know? Did I know the difficulty I’d face when I submitted to God’s plan? An unlikely candidate, I admit. Which perhaps makes my story even more remarkable. I was just a poor girl from an insignificant town. Never once had I imagined my life would be any different from any other. And yet God chose me. He chose me to bring His Son into the world - just a humble girl with great love for my Father. It wasn’t a journey without struggle. With great joy comes great sorrow. With great privilege comes great responsibility. With great love comes great loss. This is my story.

One moment, I’m living my life, using my magical skills to round up rogue sprites and restless ghosts for the Bounty Hunters Guild. The next, I’m being kidnapped by a smoking-hot, sword-wielding warrior man and dumped in front of an elder god. Things didn’t get any better after that. It might have been my fault. Maybe telling a god that he isn't very good at his job wasn’t the best way to make a first impression. Of course, when that job is "warden of a supermax prison of paranormal perps located under Mount Olympus", maybe he shouldn’t have let one escape in the first place.
