One night out with my friends and everything changes. I was just supposed to let loose and forget about my miserable life for a few hours. Instead, I find myself hunted by masked men, powerful warlocks who crave me for reasons I don't yet understand. Each one represents a different fate—none of them good. Now, I'm the prize in their twisted game, and they'll stop at nothing to claim me. But I'm not the helpless prey they think I am. As their powers weaken with the waning moon, mine are growing. And I'm learning—fast.

When my boyfriend Cole invited me to celebrate Christmas at his stepdad's cabin, nothing could have prepared me for what would happen next. Griffin's nothing like I pictured. Instead of a typical middle-aged man, I'm faced with broad shoulders, a muscular chest, and a jawline sharp enough to kill. Spine-tingling grazes and heated glances that last too long have me feeling guilty about how my body's reacting. That is until my boyfriend asks to share me with his stepdad.

I can spin gold, I lie. With my life at stake, I have no other choice. I get one chance to turn my lie into truth, and I'm shocked when I succeed. But now the cruel human king demands I become his wifepassing between his bed and being locked away in a tower, spinning gold until my last breath. My only way out is to summon him. A brutal Fae prince. The deal we strike is sickening, but it's the only way I'll live after I'm caught escaping. My new captor drags me back to his realm.

Torn between two realms, the fate of a kingdom and my father hang in the balance… I need my mate—a darkly dangerous fae prince—more than ever. And he needs me to help claim his throne. But Ruskin is gone. Disappeared into a place most dare not speak of. There isn’t time to mourn. In the human realm, a cruel king holds my father captive. While in the fae realm, Ruskin’s mother, Evanthe, is determined to use her corrupted magic to wreak havoc on the Seelie Court. Suddenly, something is changing in me.

Desperate, angry, and unable to heal, Adriana hits rock bottom and is forced to seek help for the sake of her son. What she doesn’t expect is a friendship from an unlikely source—Julian Baker, her best friend’s ex-fiancé. Julian is every bit the man she isn’t expecting to walk into her life. Intelligent, witty, and extremely handsome. Their unique friendship soon turns into a forbidden relationship. As lovers, they form a bond that must remain hidden from their family and friends, but secrets can only be kept for so long.

Fire and Water, Life and Death. The four types of magic held in perfect balance by the magi who wield them. That harmony shattered when a sorcerer wielding two opposing magics laid waste to the four clans, driving them into isolation. Now, millennia later, leaders are trying to unite the clans once again. Mari, a Death Mage, is married off to a Fire Prince, Zahir, halfway across the world. Met with outrage and disarray, the pair must learn to navigate a marriage to a stranger and adjust to their sudden rise to King and Queen.

Heartbroken and betrayed, I fled the faerie court only to be dragged back by my captor, a dark Fae Prince. I should have never made a deal with Ruskin. He's used me before. Now, he needs me again. The Queen has been doomed to eternal sleep. And I alone can break the spell. Once she wakes, my work should be done. I can leave and force myself to forget the handsome prince and his brutal yet beautiful court. Queen Evanthe's return was meant to heal the land, but she's too weak.

Nora Hart is twenty-four years old, but she's lost everything, rebuilt her life, fought through grief and worse, all while managing to avoid the shifter world that broke her in the first place. Despite her near death and struggle for survival all on her own, she's done quite well and has created a pretty normal life for herself. Despite all that, fate isn't done messing with her.

I had a plan, then fate laughed in my face. Three years ago, I was banished from my home for protecting my family. I’ve had to learn to survive on my own, while also heeding my mother’s warnings. “Never let anyone know who you truly are.” Which proves almost too easy for me to do until my fated mate stumbles out of a newly opened portal.

One million dollars in exchange for a year of secrets, passion, and danger. Constantino, New York’s most sinister mafia boss, and his wife Laila promised me trips on private jets across the Italian coastline, life in luxurious skyrises that overlooked the city, and the intoxicating nights in their bed.

When my Christmas plans go up in flames, the last thing I expect is Luke Covey to sweep in and save the day. Spending the holiday with him and his mom might make this my favorite Christmas I've ever had. Too bad for me, there's one unexpected gift that's going to last long past the holiday season. Ready or not, Luke and I are going to be parents.

My father is a legend. Some call me football royalty, and in my hometown of Louisiana, I suppose I am. His legacy didn’t prepare me for Bryant Hudson. The quarterback. I swore I’d never date football players. Permanently. Yet Bryant had other plans. Three dates and a handful of conversations, I handed him my heart without realizing it. But, Bryant shatters my soul. I’m left picking up the pieces. If only erasing him from my heart was as easy.

Mari is grieving. As a rogue witch, she lives a vagabond life until she’s pulled to Pharos Hills, inheriting her cousin’s life. Niko has a reputation. A rogue werewolf; he’s sexy, charismatic and well known for hardly ever going to bed alone. Mason is a drifter. Arriving in Pharos Hills, the vampire comes to check on his friend and make amends for old wounds. Drawn to both men for different reasons, Mari wants to hide from the growing feelings she’s developing. Missing her cousin and adjusting to new responsibilities is overwhelming.

It was just supposed to be a one-year internship in London. I wasn't supposed to meet Prince Charming. I wasn't supposed to fall in love. And I certainly wasn't supposed to get my heart broken.

Two years ago I made her my final girl. Perhaps I'm a little obsessed. The shrine covering my bedroom wall would certainly agree. I've even played out a few scenarios that end with her taking my knife in much more creative ways than usual. Today is the day I finally take her life. I'm ramping up the carnage and tying up loose ends in bloody bows.

Like many girls, I too used to dream of fairytales. Until that illusion was shattered, and I saw firsthand just how cruel life could be. Now I just wished my nightmare would end. The life I knew ceased to exist as I suffered at the hands of my stepmother, who hated me. I fought to escape and once I did, I thought life would become normal again, but that couldn't have been further from the truth. Tragedy was woven in my bloodstream, hiding in my DNA structure. I had a sliver of peace before it all went to hell again.

Still reeling from his family's lies, Zahir travels across the world to master his magic. With the threat of death looming over him, he must adapt to a life so unlike his own and work harder than he knew possible, all while reconciling with who he really is. Back home, Mari assumes her role as Queen of a clan she knows little about. Struggling with ineffective advisors, a devious sister, and complicated alliances, Mari must prove to herself, and her people, that she is worthy of her title.

I'm Wyatt Farely and that's what happened to me. My best friend Thomas accepted a scholarship to a fancy private academy several hours away. He was making new friends and flourishing. Then things started to take a dark turn. His new rich friends betrayed him and my confident, happy friend became paranoid and scared. He barely called or texted anymore. What's worse? Thomas thought someone was after him. I figured he was just stressed, but I should have known better.

I’m Pippa Chase. I was about to become Pippa Snothead, but then my fiance cheated on me and I called off the wedding...I’m heartbroken, but at least I avoided a horrible last name. Now I’m on my way to Paradise Valley, Montana to lick my wounds and figure out what’s next in my life. I’m going to live with my childhood best friend TJ Wyatt, on a ranch he bought. Ever since we were young we had a pact, if ever one of us needed the other, we would be there for each other.

Nothing in my life is going as planned. I haven’t been discovered walking down the street in my $40 Old Navy skinny jeans and told I have “The Look,” my hopes for achieving a Guinness World Record for most chocolate bars eaten isn’t even close, and no one in my family takes my writing seriously.
