I once fell in love with two people. I was lucky enough they fell in love with me too. Chance Kellerman was the broken boy whose father convinced him he was worthless, and needed to hide his shameful desires. We became friends first, then brothers when we played hockey for the same team. But it was Presley King who brought us even closer. With her we became more. She set us on fire, and we had everything we'd ever wanted. Then she left us.

From the age of three, I was obsessed with tutus, leotards, pointe shoes and everything that dancing had to offer. After years of hard work, sweat and tears, I finally was able to make the dreams of the little girl in me come true. Years later, I'm dancing for one of the most respected companies in the world, leaving out a dream and living the best life that I could have ever imagined. Everything was going according to how I'd mapped it out. Except . . .I hadn't mapped out two little blue lines skating into my life after a one-night stand.

It's not easy building a pack when your father forbids you from dating any of his New Haven Foxes hockey players. But Sloane Applegate is an Omega on a mission and her current target is none other than a surly Alpha defenseman who is supposed to be off-limits. It starts off simple, dating in...

One wild night with a bad-boy billionaire led to two pink lines on a little blue stick. Now, three hot-as-sin hockey stars are saying I belong to them. Carter, the tattooed hottie with a body built for sin, was supposed to be a one-night escape. But now, I'm the Chicago Icebreakers' new physical therapist, and the team's golden boy is back in my life—setting me on fire every time he's near. His bruiser teammate Axel, my brother's best friend, is all smoldering charm and wicked grins. He's always been off-limits, except now he's looking at me like I'm his next goal.

My best friend is in love with his girl, his ex girl. He's determined to win her back at any cost and at first, I was happy for him. I just didn't know that I'd want her for myself, but I do. Keeping my distance gets harder each time. She's the one thing I can't have, yet I can't stop reaching for her.

Surely everyone feels insecure in their relationship every now and then, right? But when Anna begins to suspect her fiancé, Mason, of having a secret, she won't rest until she's discovered the whole truth. With her friends by her side, she begins to realize that not all is as it seems. What do you do when your heart is broken? Curl up and cry or come out fighting? This is a cheating story, but light on the angst and heavy on the value of friends and promise of a happy ending.

The Scorpion Kings took me. They made me believe in them. Gave me everything I’d given up hoping for. Then they burned it all down. Now, it’s time to show them that I’m not a damsel in distress. I’m not a victim. I am the villain in this story. It’s time to show them all that even fallen princesses can become Queens.

Twelve years ago, I married the man of my dreams. Or so I thought. Now a single mom of twin boys, I'm doing my best to rebuild after everything fell apart. I juggle work and therapy and try not to burden those around me. My life is too complicated for love, right? Colton Hayes and Sammy Harlow don't seem to think so.

I was in the wrong place at the wrong time—and that moment changed me forever. After walking in on a masked man murdering my neighbor, I went back to the one place I swore I'd never step foot in again. Citrus Cove. The sleepy town hasn't changed much, but the people have. Including my old high school bully, Cameron Harlow. He's the last person I want to see. He should be the last person I want.

My dad has been the coach of the Charleston Coyotes for as long as I can remember. All the time I've spent in ice rinks has taught me two things: 1. I will NEVER date a hockey player. As a single mom, it's not like I have time for romance anyway. 2. Nothing smells worse than hockey players after a game. And I work as a dog groomer, so I have experience with smelly animals. It's amazing how quickly my rules are forgotten when Darius walks into my pet salon. 

When my best friend tells me she's finally following her dreams and starting her own business, I couldn't be happier. Since college, we've talked about creating a website where people of all types can feel free to be themselves and explore what turns them on. So when she asks me to run it with her, I'm all in. Until she asks me to sleep with her and her husband, and post it on the website.

This is not my week. Or month. Or year. My now-ex-boyfriend cheating on me with my best friend? I'd get over it eventually. Finding out my sister has Lycan wolf DNA and I have hours to get her out of the city before she's locked away in a government research facility? I definitely didn't see that one coming. To save my sister's life, we take off in the middle of the night following cryptic instructions from our late father to what was supposed to be the toxic wastelands. Imagine my surprise when we stumble into a fairy tale civilization of wolf shifters where magic is real.

Once a snake, always a snake, huh? No matter how much Luna tries to prove herself, everyone will always blame her for the invasion of Nightfire Academy and theft of a dangerous spell book. Well, to hell with them. Luna hasn't got time to convince them otherwise, juggling her studies, magic practice, three handsome guardians, and a mysterious stranger that she can't stay away from. When a dark spell unlocks her memories, she opens a door she'll never close. Monsters court monsters, and turns out, she's one of them.

I sold my soul to the devil only to turn around and slit his throat… Thomas Kincaid took everything from me. My mother. My hopes. My innocence. Now, it’s my turn. He thought he was safe. They all did. They were wrong. Men always think they can take without ever having to deal with the consequences. Well, now I’m back, and I'm the last consequence they’ll ever see.

Professional matchmaker, Serena Rafferty, has dedicated her career to finding love for others, but this time, love—in the form of a six-foot-six pro hockey player—is finding her. Bates Finnegan, leading forward for the Saint Paul Sinners, has been obsessed with his coach's daughter since...

I was happy. I had finally won—the past was behind me, my enemies dead, and my mate at my side as we jointly ruled our pack. Or so I thought. Being Alpha isn't easy, and bad blood lingers between our elders. Fights and distrust hover like unwanted pests, our pack a tinderbox set to explode with only a single spark. To make matters worse, loose ends with the vampires threaten our safety, and that last thing I want is more dead cubs. I'd kill every vampire in the west if that's what it would take, but it seems there's something bigger at play, pulling the strings for all supernaturals.

Rules. Some people say they are meant to be broken, but not these ones. These are designed to protect me, to make sure I never feel the pain I did almost ten years ago. The dull but present pain I still feel every time my past taunts me. From the loyalties that have remained broken, I built my walls high and tall, creating these rules to make sure all hearts, most of all mine, will stay guarded. That was the plan at least, until she came along.

He doesn't let people get close. Owen "Ghost" Booker doesn't believe he deserves a second chance. Not after what he's done, not after the lives lost because of him. At Valor Ridge, he stays in the shadows, watching, calculating, protecting from a distance. Only Cinder, his fiercely loyal and...

I made a living by selling myself online. As soon as I saw the money in my account, I gave the viewer whatever they wanted. A sneak peek at what was under my skirt. A little roleplay with my kitty ears on.

And, for the most part, she's succeeded in building a peaceful life in a small town, only letting her dark memories confront her once a year during the holiday season.
