When Kristy Thomas has the great idea to form a baby-sitters club - a chance to earn money and spend time with her friends, all while doing something they each love to do - she has no idea how much the club will change everything. Crank calls, uncontrollable toddlers, wild pets, untruthful clients...running a business is hard work! Kristy and her co-founders, Mary Anne, Claudia, and Stacey, are sure they can handle anything. But only if they stick together....

As the newest member of the BSC, Dawn is eager to prove herself. So when a big job comes along, she jumps at the chance to show everyone what she's made of. The Barretts are even more challenging than Dawn expected. The house is a mess, Mrs. Barrett is unreliable, and the kids are out of control. Dawn knows she's a great baby-sitter, but this is impossible! She only knows one thing for sure - a member of the BSC never gives up!

Mary Anne has never been a leader of the BSC. So when a fight breaks out among the club's four members, Mary Anne feels a little lost, unable to depend on Kristy, Stacey, or Claudia anymore. Sitting by herself in the cafeteria is bad enough; when Mary Anne has to baby-sit a sick child without any help from the club, she knows someone has to take action. It's time for Mary Anne to step in and save the day!

Stacey doesn't like to tell everyone that she has diabetes. Her friends in the Baby-Sitters Club are supportive, but Stacey has lost other friends who didn't understand her condition. Stacey's parents don't seem to understand, either; they're constantly taking her to new doctors. The truth is, she likes her doctor and just wants to spend her time being a normal girl and hanging out with the Club. Can Stacey find the courage to be honest - with everyone?

Kristy, Claudia, Mary Anne, and Stacey try to be prepared for anything when they baby-sit. So when they hear about the Phantom Caller, a jewel thief who's been breaking into nearby homes, they come up with a plan to keep their kids safe. But when Claudia and the other girls start receiving creepy phone calls while they're out on jobs, they start to get really spooked. Will the mystery caller scare off the BSC?

I’ve had to crawl through the muck to rebuild my family’s name after my father all but destroyed us. I’ve spilled blood, burned through hours, and poured my soul into this business with a singular focus. To get back what we lost, and then some. The Callahan name used to evoke respect. Those who don’t remember who I am will learn soon. Real soon. Once I take down the top security firm in the country, I’ll be right where I need to be. I just have to prove their weakness. Everything is ready. Almost. I just need one more piece of info. But lucky for me, I know where to get it.

After my sister took over the family business, there isn’t much left for me to do. But with O’Doyle Industries going legit, big sis has found something. And I want no part of it. Marrying the bratty daughter of a Russian billionaire, and former mobster, isn’t ideal. But when it comes to family, sometimes desperate measures are called for. My new wife isn’t hard on the eyes, but I have no intention of falling victim to her wiles.

It was always only a matter of time before my past would catch up with me. I knew it the second I lied on my job application, I was taking a huge risk. But anything was better than the crime family I was born into. I knew I needed help, and I set my cap on the king only to be turned down. It was inevitable that someone from my old life was going to find me at the Vipers' Den. I was ready for it, but I didn't expect him to step in. Luc Batiste, the Vipers' Council, was my savior. He wasn't loud and showy like the others. But it was always the quiet ones you had to watch out for.

He’s been looking for someone to hold on to. She’s been waiting for the right guy. This Jersey Devil has a jaded past. Too many loveless affairs, sleazy backroom deals, and an overall loss of his love for life has led Maximillian Leeds to one conclusion. He needs a change. What could be more different for a city slicker than buying a ranch in Northern New Jersey? There’s just one problem. He has no idea how to run a farm/ranch/thing. What’s he even supposed to do on a horse? An announcement in a supernatural newsletter gets him a misfit group of lone Shifters that all have one thing in common.

Secrets. Magic. Forbidden Passion. This Wolf is breaking all the rules! With her thirtieth birthday fast approaching, Martina Harbor is coming home to celebrate the day she shares with her two sisters. Little does she know her big brother and his mate have invited the whole dang town to join in the festivities. Things might have changed with the local Wolf Pack, but after spending her entire life hiding what she is from the very Shifters she’s eating cake with has Martina more than a little confused. Is she just supposed to forget about the past? Why were her siblings okay with this?

He’s been trying to find an anchor for his Wolf. She’s been living a secret life. Emmet Quinn is a lone Wolf with a growly problem. Nothing seems to be able to satisfy his ornery beast. When he gets an email about a new job opportunity Emmet doesn’t have to think twice. Packing up and moving all the way across the country to New Jersey sounds crazy. But it might be the only thing to save him. The Motley Crewd Ranch is the sorriest excuse for a working ranch he’s ever seen. But that doesn’t mean he’s ready to walk away. Especially not when he meets Jezebel Braydon.

Actions speak louder than words, and some are desperate. Sammy Ramirez I remembered little about my early life and the man who said he was my father. But that piece of trash was nothing to me. Not sperm donor. Not stepfather. Not human. I have a good father now. Andres Ramirez. The man who married my mother and raised me to be who I am. Their love story is epic, and it gets stronger day by day. I want that for myself, and I know my parents are eager for me to marry and give them grandkids. They think I haven't found the one. But I know exactly who I want to claim as my own.

Okay, so I threw a glass of beer in his face the first time I saw him. I thought he was his cousin and that he was treating my best friend badly. It was an honest mistake. I didn't know the psycho was going to see it as a challenge and form a fixation on me. My answer was a firm resounding no. But that didn't seem to stop him. And when a group of drunk guys decided to follow me home one night after I left the Den, I had to admit, it paid to have a stalker who was six foot six inches of pure, tattooed muscle.

My father’s dying wish was for me to bring our family back to its former glory. But the days of illegitimate business are long gone for families like mine. I prefer to live in the now. But some folks haven’t gotten the message. A shootout at one of my favorite haunts leaves me torn up and bleeding. I have no choice but to break into a basement apartment I thought was empty. Good thing I was wrong. The place is occupied and bonus, there’s a doctor in the house. A sexy doctor with impossibly dark eyes and a body made for sin. But will she keep my presence a secret?

Sybil Harbor isn’t like her sisters. True, they are hybrids like her, but Sybil is the only one of her kind. Now that Martina and Nova have found their mates, it’s even lonelier for her. Well, it is until he walks into her life. Like a dream come true. Only her new man isn’t what he appears, and the truth might kill her. Perseus Calloway is on a mission. Living under an ancient curse, the Calloway Coven has been without its power for generations. But when a rumor of Dragons living just a few hours away reaches their ears, they send him to investigate.

Being pretty isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. Nova Harbor would much rather be known for her brain than her symmetrical facial features, stunning bod, and eye-catching coloring. As a research scientist for the secret section of the US government known as the Division of Paranormal Creatures & Activities, or DPCA for short, getting the big boys to notice her achievements is a heck of a lot harder than getting them to notice her assets. She does all she can to stay professional, but frustrations run rampant when she’s forced to work with a snobby feline and his oversized ego.
