The Dark Moon should be the best night of my life as a shifter. Instead, my sweet little house cat just combusted into flames in the middle of my bedroom, my tormenting alpha says he’s my mate, and three hellish men just blazed into my life like sinful gods. With nowhere left to run, I’m forced to acknowledge the gorgeous existence of the three dark stalkers hunting me. They offer me something I can’t ignore: protection in the realm of Hell…as well as answers about my past. My magic and my wolf grow stronger, fiercer, and deadlier in their presence. But I’ll never trust them.

Sure, I’ll admit it. Women have come and gone from my life since I was in high school. They’re nothing more than a warm body to sink into at the end of a long day. Even though I’m upfront about not being interested in a relationship, there are always a few persistent females who think they’ll be the one to change my mind.

The city of Caraza sits poised on the edge of chaos—and cursebreaker Marlow Briggs is at the center of a deadly struggle for power. In the tragic aftermath of the Vale-Falcrest wedding, Marlow is spurned by Adrius, who refuses to speak to her and publicly vows to find a noble wife before the year is out. Despite her heartbreak, Marlow is still intent on breaking his compulsion curse. To do so, she’ll have to play loving daughter to the man who cast it—the man who’s hellbent on reshaping Caraza in his own image, no matter the cost.

Can a guy and girl ever be just friends? I used to think so, but now I’m not so sure. Emerson and I met freshman year of high school and we’ve been tight ever since. I’ve been pretty good about keeping her locked in the girls-I-don’t-think-about-having-sex-with part of my brain. Which is no easy feat, because let’s face it, unless we’re related, you’re potential spank bank material. Luckily for me, Southern University has an overabundance of Red Devils hockey groupies, which means there are always plenty of puck bunnies for me to choose from.

When you live in Hell, you're bound to get burned...I just never expected this kind of torment. And the one man who I thought I could trust in all of this is my worst abuser. Torben rejected me the moment we stepped foot into this ashen hellhole. He does their bidding by throwing me into deadly trials that are bound to break me. Sometimes he protects me from the brunt of it…and sometimes I think he wants me dead as much as they do. But I won't give them the satisfaction. Because I didn't come to Hell to die. I came to survive.

Volcanic ash has ruined the world and only remote outposts remain. At the castle in the mountains, covered by snow, everyone only sees shades of blue. Except for Jaisy. By day, she explores farther down the mountain. By night, she’s plagued with dreams of a panther and ghosts calling her name. When Jaisy’s job sends her into the dungeon, she discovers a hidden room filled with dangerous information. There are secrets within the damp, stone walls that those in control don’t want anyone to know. The leaders will kill to protect those secrets - even executing one of their own.

Once upon a time, I met Talia Richards at a charity fundraiser, and my world stopped on a dime. When she proposed that I work with her on a project, I leapt at the chance. Months later, I’ve only seen her twice since that fateful night - twice. I’m dying. The day I cave in and fly out to visit her, I watch as she is unfairly fired by a pair of dimwits - one of whom is quickly acquainted with my fist. I sweep in and offer Talia a contract to work for me, as long as she doesn’t mind moving into the townhouse next door....

The Bliss, as they call it, isn't a perfect nirvana. It's conniving and twisted torment waiting for me to fall into the council’s claws at any moment. But I'm not sticking around to be their newest torment target. I've got my own kingdom of doom to deal with. And saving the lives of those deliciously wicked men of mine is more important than the inevitable deadly chaos in all the realms.

I'm surrounded by the very people I vowed revenge upon. Instead of lashing out with sharp blades and knives, I'm stuck buying my time. I need the Shadow Guard's help if I'm going to save my demon mates from the claws of my enemies. The Shadow Guard are just like myself. They're made entirely from secrets, lies, and deadly dark magic, and now it's all spreading around us like wildfire. Nothing about vengeance is ever easy though. The chaos that surrounds me, it's like coming home. And my kingdom of a home, it's all about to come crashing down.

From Swordmage to seditionist...What do you do when the people you trust the most betray you? Tiadaria, the last Swordmage, was once one of the King's most trusted advisers. Now she's fallen out of favour and has been cast out of the realm she helped save from demons and dragons. When pirates start sinking ships off the coast of Dragonfell, Tiadaria offers her services to the realm, but the pride of Kings is not easily put aside. Unwilling to let the Imperium fall, Tiadaria approaches the King's only daughter, a reclusive Princess unseen by the people for almost two decades.

Aria is finally feeling like she's figuring things out. At least, she's not fumbling her way through adventure as much anymore. At least there's that. But there is no way to reseal the prison. Too many ur'gel have escaped, making the breach even bigger. And the only thing they can do is to wait for Dag'draath to break out as well. They have no weapons against Dag'draath, though. He's a god of evil. In the fight before, they had Onen, the man of Light and everything good. There's no way to resurrect him.

Everything Aria tried to do in order to save her brother and help those closest to her has made everything worse. She's now alone with Beru, trying to figure out a way to fix what they've done, to undo what they've started. But Aria still can't get over the fact that Beru is a traitor to Onen Suun, the only man who dared to defy Dag'draath. Beru was the reason Onen Suun was forced to sacrifice his life to save the world.

There’s a fine line between love and hate. Blade came into my life like a wrecking ball. Tearing down my walls and rocking my world. Then I found out he was a member of Outlaw Souls. That was a problem, since my loyalty was to their enemy, Las Balas. My connection to them was one of blood, through my father and brother. I couldn’t turn my back on that, no matter how much I wanted Blade. Meanwhile, there was a new kind of trouble brewing in La Playa. Both of the rival clubs got caught up in the mess, which left me choosing sides.

The 1935 murder of architect Francis Mawson Rattenbury, world famous for his design of the iconic Parliament Buildings and Empress Hotel in Victoria, British Columbia, and the arrest and lurid trial of his thirty years younger second wife, Alma, and the family chauffeur, George Percy Stoner, her lover, who was half her age, riveted people. Debate continues even today as to which one of them really was responsible.

All former child star Katie Sullivan wants is to live a normal life. She’s spent years burying her past, and she’ll do anything to keep it that way. Then, one too many drinks combined with a dare has her asking out Wyatt Archer. Unfortunately, he’s anything but low-profile, and she’s not about to give up her anonymity for some guy. Except Wyatt Archer isn’t just "some guy". He’s the best college quarterback in the country, and he loves everything that comes along with it - like winning a national championship and having no shortage of girls.

She was born to right a wrong and to serve justice. Torn from her deceased mother’s womb, she knows what is expected of her even before she takes her first breath. Her quest for vengeance starts as a child, and determined to see her task to the end, she acts as opportunities present themselves. She is Naranda, daughter of Mysteria and Trance, last of the royal line of Dragon.

I wasn’t looking for a love connection. But I didn’t count on Trainer. Black leather. Intricate tattoos. Sculpted body. He looked like trouble that I didn’t need. Too bad he proved impossible to resist. I found myself falling into bed with the tough biker. But I had a dangerous secret. Getting attached was a bad idea because I had trouble looking for me. And I had to keep my son safe, no matter what.

To stop the chaos, sacrifice is all that’s needed to make everything right again. The gods gave the realm of the living a Goddess of Love. She just has to give the world all of her love.

My goddess has endless aspirations for my future. I just don't think tricking the Prince of Hell to fall in love with me was one of them.... Three sinfully sexy hellhound shifters plot the prince's murder while using me as their pawn to earn the trust of the royals. It’s a foolproof plan, really. Too bad it's what they don’t know that will kill them.
