Hunting down Mira was supposed to be a simple assignment. She thought she could disappear—cover her tracks, hide behind false names and small towns—but I found her, and I intend to drag her back, kicking and screaming if necessary. But getting Mira home isn't easy. She fights like a cornered animal, desperate to escape the secrets she's hiding. Her defiance ignites something dark and possessive inside me, something that threatens the cold control I pride myself on. The longer we're together, the more I realize Mira isn't just a job—she's an obsession.

Three months ago, I almost got hit by a car. The guy behind the wheel was as gorgeous as they come. We got to talking and… well, things got a little carried away, if you know what I mean. But when it was over, we went our separate ways. Except, not quite. The little plus sign on this pregnancy test tells me our story isn't over. But that's a problem for another day. First, I have to go to my sister's engagement party. When I see who she's marrying, my jaw hits the floor.

Tall, dark, and muscled like a god, Beau Barnett is great with an axe. Every woman in Rockhead Point wants a taste of the mountain man. Including me. Except he doesn't even know my name. I'm just the girl behind the counter filling his coffee, while he grunts and grumbles, barely making eye contact. Then a newcomer with a charming smile and a fancy suit shows up in Rockhead Point, and refuses to take no for an answer when he asks me to dinner.

She’s trapped in a magical prison. To break out, she’ll make a deal with the most dangerous prisoner of them all. Sentenced for a crime she didn’t commit, Samara is bullied by guards and tormented by the screams of her fellow prisoners. She’s resigned herself to enduring her fifteen-year...

When Erika and her team of archaeologists break the seal on the temple they’ve been hunting, they unwittingly take the first step in a series of rituals designed to revive the long-sleeping denizens inside. Now, with every breath they take, they inhale air steeped in dragon magic—and perfumed with otherworldly, irresistible desire. Erika wants nothing more than to prove she’s still in control.

Five years ago, I ran from the devil who got me pregnant. I have a son now. A boy I'd do anything to protect. But I left behind the sister I loved more than life itself. So when Ilarion Zakharov finds me again, I have an impossible choice to make: Do I go back with him to the world I left behind? Or do I leave my sister to drown in the mess I caused? Ilarion doesn't make choosing easy.

In the shadowy underworld of Greenich Bay, even my status as the Orazio heir couldn't shield me from heartbreak. Jesse, Logan, and Briar, the ones I trusted most, shattered me after five years of love. No proposal, just betrayal. Vengeance drove me into the arms of my ex-fiancé, a rival crime family scion. Let them see how quickly I can move on. They don't need to know that our arrangement is fake.

The moment she walks into my club—dressed in a stolen uniform, carrying a tray of champagne—I know she doesn't belong. When I catch her in my office, stealing secrets, I give her a choice: tell me who sent her...or find out exactly what happens to those who cross a Volkov.

I was forced to marry a monster. Luca Vitale is the heir to his father’s empire. He has the reputation of being a dangerous monster who can bring even grown men to their knees. And he’s about to become my husband.

Five years, I've been the shadow in her past. She don't know the man who rescued her from her kidnapper that night was me. And it's gotta stay that way. Diletta's got a new life now—miles away from my world of violence and sin. Watchin' her from the sidelines was supposed to be enough. But one chance meeting, one brush of those eyes, and I'm wrecked. She don't recognize me, but I know the truth, and we're both gonna be in danger if our past catches up with us. So for her sake, I gotta hit the road. I wasn't counting on Diletta—that woman won't let me go, so I stay and fight for us both.

It's scary how much life can change in an instant. One minute I'm preparing for a new school year in my San Diego town, and the next I'm being ripped from my childhood home. Making the cut from my father's death two years ago that much deeper. Not only am I being forced to leave a place that reminds me so much of him, but I'm being forced to move hundreds of miles across the country to a city I've only learned about through Mom and social media.

I bit a vampire. I sank my teeth right into his flesh and drew blood, and I liked it. Now, I’m craving it as if I’m a creature of the night. I’m far from it. My family has been hunting bloodsuckers for centuries. So it comes as a horrifying shock when my aunt catches me licking blood off a knife like its cake batter. Panicking, she calls someone who she thinks can help me. Little does she know that dangling me like a carrot to formidable Sam Mason has consequences no one is prepared for, especially me.

Hale Hartlock was getting married for one reason only: to give his wild younger brother a nurturing influence. Omegas were a rarity, and one wouldn't choose to live in the wildlands. Hale wouldn't take any chances, not when his hatred of the spoiled designation ran so deeply. He swore to the men of Hartlock Ranch, Ruck and Oliver, that nothing would change, certainly not their hearts. But Esta, Hale's sweet beta bride, was a temptation none of them could resist.

Raiden has every reason to despise his new wife: she's his sworn enemy's daughter, a pawn in a dangerous game, and the living reminder of everything he's lost. But when they're stranded together, will he be able to resist the connection neither of them saw coming? Never thought I'd be forced to marry the enemy's daughter—a woman who worships her traitorous father like he's some kind of saint. But here we are, thrown together by club politics and enough bad blood to fill a damn river.

Reclusive Tully Hartlock has only one goal: escape the curse of her famous last name. Every dollar she earns from Only Omegas is going toward a fresh start across the ocean, to escape being the deeply inadequate heir of the Hartlock name. Tully has lived in the shadow of her ancestor, Esta Hartlock, her whole life, and she is tired of being used for it. But when she falls for one of her subscribers, she finds her life turned inside out, because he belongs to the wealthiest, most powerful pack in the city. Baylark Pack is used to getting what they want, and she is their missing puzzle piece.

Her marriage was a lie. Anita Orazio had never been interested in any man before she met her handsome new husband. He'd courted her with relentless energy, and she'd fallen hard and fast, like a fool. Until she overheard him saying he only married her to get an introduction to The Gardener. Everybody in Greenich Bay whispered the name of the reclusive assassin. The anonymous poisoner who could provide wares for anyone who could afford him, or find him.

The start-up gaming company I work for likes to push boundaries, including adult ratings, no limit on in-game partners, and some moderately graphic depictions of all the different ways to get down and dirty with two or more people. Given that I’m inching my way toward 40 and my experience in the bedroom is limited to a couple of less than attentive ex-boyfriends, I'm not sure I can pull off the realistic designs that are expected of me.

Having everything, living the high life, it was only ever in the movies. Until now. Until them. After a summer away, I return to find my mother remarried and a whole new family around her. Now I’m enrolled in the college for East Coast’s most elite; Saints U. Along with my new stepbrother and his friends.

Money. Marriage. Murder. Three things I never thought I'd deal with, let alone all at once, but now those three words embody my entire world. There’s nowhere to run, not with the eyes of the country on us now.

The weight of the world sits heavy on my shoulders. The men in my life have left me broken and bruised. I know that I have to dig deep to find the strength to pick up the pieces and move on. However, there is just one problem, or one man standing in my way. Hank Burns. My ex-husband. It's been five years since our divorce. I lost everything back then, and if I'm being honest, I've just been going through the motions. I just want to be alone, I want to salvage the pieces of me that are left and move on, but Hank is adamant that we give us another try.
