When Theodore visited the new animatronic strip club in town, he didn't expect the elves the facility was famous for to be actual flesh-and-blood elves. And he definitely didn't expect to find an inter-dimensional phone booth tucked away in the back room. But find them he did, and before he knew it he'd been sent to a strange and exotic land. Among The Ten Thousand Worlds, power is free for any with the will and talent to take it. Here, elves practice immortal cultivation, gathering power to increase their personal strength and pursue eternal life.

It starts out as a bet....A way to forget about my latest in a string of bad relationships and move on. I know it's a mistake. Especially when I have a terrible knack for picking the wrong men. Then I see him. The gorgeous man in the dark suit, drowning his sorrows in a glass of scotch is only supposed to be one night of fun. No strings. Zero expectations. No one gets hurt. And when I wake up alone the next morning, it appears I've gotten everything I was after. That is until I find the shiny gold cuff links he left behind. Oh, and discover that he's my new boss.

Before Immortal Ascendants, worlds shatter like glass upon an anvil. Overhead, ancient golems awaken to cull the world of elves. To the east, the Cult of the Unblinking Eye plans the Hearthwood Clan's destruction. And beyond the bounds of time and space lurks greater threats than anyone could ever imagine. Chaos and ruin are all the awaits the World of Sanctuary and Serenity. Only one man can save it. And save it he must, for on that world lies everything he knows and loves.

Love is honorable but selfish. Love is a record of my wrongs. Love had fractured in trials but held on for the truth. And the truth was he'd hurt me, yet I loved him. He'd left me, yet I followed him. But I was done with Leo Baudin. And as soon as the semester was over, I would be done with Paris. But until then, I would learn the rest of his secrets. The ones they whispered about behind his back. The ones that had the entire city watching his every move. The ones that held him hostage.

I shouldn't have been out in that storm. I knew it the second my feet hit the ground, and my flip-flops slid in the mud. Unfortunately, I had no idea what in the world I was doing. Not with my kids, or the three horses in my barn . . . and definitely not in the small country town we'd recently moved to. Being told all these facts, while being reluctantly rescued by my brand-new neighbor didn't help matters either.

They say you never forget your first love, but I wish I could. Sebastian was the boy next door, the one who stole my heart, only to give it back bruised and broken. I've tried my best to move on, to erase him from my mind, but how can I do that when he is literally everywhere? There's no escape when your ex-boyfriend is on the cover of every magazine, when his music won't stop playing on the radio.

Theo's old friends are just out of reach, but it's past time he went looking for them. With the world safe and the Hearthwood Clan prospering more than ever, Theo finally has both the opportunity and the power to go looking for Sam and Dean, who went missing hundreds of years ago. There's much to do at home, but once his affairs are settled, Theo plans to chase their trail and figure out what happened to them so that he can bring them home.

Far from the Hearthwood, his enemies plot against him. The Cult of the Unblinking Eye schemes. An arrogant Satyr King demands. A swarm of dragons hungers. And an evil twin has plans of his own. At home, the Hearthwood has never been better. With Sam and Dean at his side once again, Theo thinks his days of battle and struggle are behind him. Now's the time to build and raise his family to face the future. But his enemies are not dead, and not all his foes are conquered. And now with a family to protect, the stakes have never been higher.

A man must repay his debts. Especially when he owes those debts to the princess of the realm. Luckily, she only asks that Theo stay in the palace as her guest. That should be an easy debt to pay, but trouble is afoot in the land and no number of royal dinners or palace balls will stop it.

The Hearthwood Clan now exists in more than name. Theo has crowned himself patriarch, and most of the tribal chiefs are now matriarchs at his side. But his troubles are not over. Not all the tribes have sworn their fealty, and Theo will need every elvish cultivator he can muster to oppose the ominous shadows that loom over the forest.

With enemies at the gates and trouble at home, a man must defend his clan armed only with his magical martial arts and a futuristic spaceship fortress. His enemies won't know what hit them. After finally defeating the Matriarch of the Crimson Dragon clan, Theo's left with a disunited group of tribes swearing loyalty to him in name only. And why should they? He's got no towering fortress. No chests of gold. No loyal army. Yet.

Theo's family is safe, but the Ten Thousand Worlds are still rife with both danger and opportunity. His old friends are missing, but now Theo's finally caught their trail. For the first time since coming to this strange world of elves and cultivation, Theo must leave the Hearthwood Forest and see the world beyond the trees.

Surrounded by enemies and against impossible odds. That's just another ordinary day for Theo, the Patriarch of the Hearthwood Clan. After returning from the World of Struggle and Strife with the title of chief, Theo must defend his home once more.

Love is angry. Love is blind. Love is envious and loathful. And I loathed Leo Baudin. My new art professor. My enemy. I didn't move to Rhode Island for this. I came to forget the Troian Milanovic I'd left behind and start fresh where the damage and betrayal couldn't follow. But Professor Baudin wouldn't let me.

Rosaleigh caught my eyes from the beginning, but I didn't make my move. She was too young. Unfortunately, my best friend didn't have the same morals. It killed me, watching from a distance as he disrespected the woman who was always meant to be mine. When she finally discovers the truth about him, all bets are off. I'm done holding back. I make my move, ready to prove she has a real man now—one who will have her back and give her the life she deserves. I won't let anything stop me. She's not getting away again. I'm going to make her mine.

Brandy Coleman's face is flaming red. As the owner of a barn for retired horses, she's had her share of mishaps, but nothing can compare to this deeply embarrassing moment. She is looking up at a stranger who has the dreamiest hazel eyes she's ever seen, and a six pack beneath his open shirt that is making her toes curl. The problem? Her hose burst and squirted water everywhere, leaving her hair a tangled mess and her clothes absolutely drenched.

Jasmine Pritchett needs a job. A pathway to financial independence. When Transform, the local gym, initiates an expansion to offer fitness classes, she sees her opportunity. Armed with several instructor certifications and even more persistence, she finds herself interviewing for the job in front of two of the sexiest men she’s ever laid eyes on. Maddox Gibson craves control.

Theo has rallied a mighty horde at his back. As the orc Wargod said to him, the Patriarch of the Hearthwood Clan can't save Deania, but the Chief of the Blackgorge Tribe can. With an army at his back, Theo plans to do just that. The nations surrounding Deania have decided to attack. But while they're away, who's going to be protecting their homes? Theo plans to lead the orcs who would have invaded Deania into the lands of their enemies instead. In doing so, he hopes to drive this enemy army away before Countess Frostweaver finishes whatever she's planning back in the capital.

Chad Douglas, a successful Western horse trainer, is facing a six-hour drive back to his home, Horse Haven Ranch, when he receives a call from a friend begging him to come to the aid of a damsel in distress. The damsel in question is Cassandra Davidson, and her distress is the desperate need for someone to drive her horses to a five-day show-jumping event in which she is competing. Chad has heard that Cassandra is a spoiled princess who can be difficult and demanding, but he has also heard she has a unique appeal that is truly endearing.

Tulsa Rose has gone through hell and back. We have a complicated history, becoming her guardian after a family tragedy is only the tip of the iceberg. I sent her away. It was the right thing to do, even if she felt like I turned my back on her. The truth is, she was a temptation I couldn't have. She was way too young. Now she's home, ten years later. I want her more now than I ever did. Too bad she hates me. It doesn't matter. I'm not walking away from her again. She belongs to me, she always has. I'm staking my claim once and for all.
