Axen fights like a beast. He terrifies me a little. But maybe he’s exactly what I need. As a doctor, I’m used to thinking logically and staying calm even in intense circumstances, so I thought I was adjusting pretty well to life on Nuthora. Then, the universe threw another curveball at me.

Priest Hayes thought he knew everything there was to know about the society of outlaws who ran by their own set of rules, and right now, he'd just taken the gavel. It didn't feel heavy. It felt like it belonged there all along. In his hand. Just like her. But Luna Nox was the one girl he could never have. He knew that the second he fell for her. Bound by a past they both shared, their souls were connected in a way that no one would ever understand. But love isn't always what conquers all. Sometimes, it's the only thing you'll surrender to.

In the depths of the cosmos, the relentless Xortaag armada sweeps across the galaxy, leaving shattered worlds in its wake. Now, their sights are set on Earth. But in the face of annihilation, hope emerges from the most unlikely heroes: a starfighter pilot with a knack for quoting movies, a fearless stuntwoman, a deadly super-assassin, and a cunning cosmic spymaster. Their mission is not only to save humanity but to protect billions of intelligent beings across the multiverse.

This alien warrior is roguish, charming, and way more experienced than I am. Maybe he’s exactly what I need. All the other women who were abducted from Earth have gotten to make a fresh start on Kalix, but with my overprotective sister always hovering nearby, I feel like I’m stuck in the past - still the naïve little girl Brielle has to look out for. But everything changes when a lost warrior named Zatir returns home. The mate bond sparks between us, and suddenly, my entire world is turned upside down.

The Xortaag fleet outnumbers the humans five to one, and with their mind-control device, they are able to turn Earth's military forces against their own people. The Xortaag colony ships are just weeks away, and once they arrive, they plan to eradicate the human race to make room for their own population.

I'm done being someone's second best. And I have the scars from my first marriage to prove it. Now that I'm stuck with a dragon shifter, it's going to take more than muscles as hard as a good D to convince me that they're serious. Of course, if it wasn't for my big mouth I wouldn't be in this situation to begin with. I was there when the ceasefire terms were presented by the dragons. They demanded eight women a year as tribute. My ex-husband, 'The General,' argued that we should never surrender. I said he was an idiot, and that we were losing.

As one of 50 teams, human Sadie and genetically engineered 1213 are thrown together with one mission: outlive the other 49 teams and make it to the finish line. Between brutal competitors, harsh terrain, and deadly predators, the challenge is as relentless as the feral passion and sweet affection that detonates between them after the sun sets each night. Can they put aside their differences, work together, and triumph against the odds?

Korden Bright continues his journey east toward the Shroud across a dusty, forgotten America. His next stop: the gender-segregated town of Ida, on the shores of a lake once called Tahoe, where he hopes to find information on the mysterious figure known as the Prophet. But before he can get there, he'll face the haunted waters of the lake itself, become an unwilling accomplice in a master conman's game, and find himself pursued by a crazed, tentacled assassin that may be far more than meets the eye.

The weight of the world suddenly crashes on my shoulders, and I'm not sure how long I can carry it. I'm not like the heroes I've read about in books—I've just barely started understanding my powers, how am I going to save anyone? Could the Fates have screwed up, putting me on this path? When bodies begin to drop, it's crystal clear: time is up. Do I tuck tail and hide with my monsters, or do I stand tall and fight for the first place I've ever felt like I could call home?

Bound to steal her queen's magical bones, thief Lynne knows only one mistake equals death. And yet, she dreams of living in the forbidden world upon the surface, hating every minute in the Underworld. When she secretly develops a crush on a human, she loses a bone in his realm and has no choice but to strike a deal with the only one who could help—an evil witch. To save her life, she must earn the man’s love and bring back the bone in 99 days.

When Jim and his friends succeed in killing the Aax’ods by opening a portal to the Crimson Universe, he figures they’ll have peace and quiet for a while. But boy, is he wrong! One day, out of nowhere and all across the galaxy, thousands of portals are open to the monster world, and trillions of beasts pour out. So many that they simply wash over the Federation’s forces, and that’s before they start to multiply exponentially.

This caged Kalixian is wild. Brutal. Dangerous. So, why can’t I stay away from him? With the marks tattooed on his face and horns sharpened to deadly points, he looks like a monster made for killing. He’s unlike any of the other alien warriors on this planet, and despite their efforts to help him, he only seems to be growing more feral.

He's a cage-fighting cowboy who never stopped loving his best friend, but all she's ever done is run. Romy Miller is a laid-off teacher who hasn't been home in twelve years. Not since she hooked up with her best guy friend and ran off to college. She has cut all ties to Willows, including her...

The most powerful sorcerer, Bariel, was thought lost to time after disappearing mysteriously thousands of years ago, until now. Davlin, a mage by blood but a swordsman by trade is sought out by Riffolk, a strange old man who claims to know of Bariel's whereabouts: a vault locked by keys scattered across the known world. Together with the help of a ragtag group comprised of thieves, knights, deserters, and rangers they embark on the deadliest and darkest quest the world has seen.

Bossed by a monster—sounds overbearing, right? It is, and this guy's not just any monster. He's a Boggart—the literal being of nightmares—and I swear his sole mission in life is to make mine a bad dream come true. Every time I turn around, he's there. Bedazzling me. Bewitching me. Befriending me. But I won't back down, not even when Mr. Ettin proposes a friendly little bet. Who cares what the stakes are—there's no way my boss is gonna win. Except… he does.

After escaping from the cruel alien trader who kept me captive for years, I’ve been hiding out on a massive ship full of alien warriors called Zivonians. I’ve even found the perfect hiding place: a smaller ship tucked away in the docking bay. Except...maybe my hiding spot isn’t that good after all. How was I supposed to know that one of the Zivonian warriors would steal a ship, so he could go on a dangerous mission to track down his lost brother? How was I supposed to know he’d pick the exact same ship I did?

Stranded on an alien planet with a cyborg warrior. All I wanted to do was find my missing best friend. I never planned on getting kidnapped by aliens. These ugly brutes claim I’m meant to be some sort of tribute bride, but there’s no way I’m letting that happen. Unfortunately, my escape attempt ends with me crashing onto a planet called Kalix. Alone in the dangerous wilderness, my only hope of survival may be a darkly handsome alien with bronze skin, horns, and penetrating eyes.

An anthology of short stories based upon/inspired by, and in loving homage to all of those great gore-fest movies and books of the 1980s (not necessarily based in that era, although some do ride that wave of nostalgia), the golden age when horror well and truly came kicking, screaming, and spraying blood, gore, and body parts out from the shadows.

Following Jim’s audacious plan, Kurt and a team of Marines traveled to the future to destroy Voltex. However, in doing so, they inadvertently started a chain reaction that ended with the elimination of all life in the universe. Now, as the clock ticks relentlessly, our heroes must get together one more time to save the universe before it is too late.

In Victorious, an armada with two hundred thousand ships travels back a millennium in time to obliterate all sentient beings in the galaxy by hurling asteroids at their planets. This is nothing like what Jim, Kurt, and Tarq have faced before—this is nothing like anyone in the universe has ever faced before.
