Note to my stupid cupid self: The next time I go and anchor myself to a hot covey, make sure those anchors aren't about to compete in a fight to the death. Yeah. Total downer. I have a body now, and I don't intend to lose it. I also don't intend to lose the genfins that I've grown so attached to. So it's time to return to the kingdom island and hope like hell that my guys make it through the royal trials of the culling. I also have to hope that the prince of the realm doesn't spot me. If he does, I'm pretty sure I have imprisonment and torture to look forward to.

What do you get when you have four mates, one psychotic prince, a horde of rebels, and a cupid who just got yanked out of the realm? A big freaking problem, that’s what. I was supposed to take on my first real mission as a spy. I was supposed to go find my missing mate and discover who our real allies are for the war that’s brewing in the fae realm. Instead, I’m thrown back to where I was first created, Cupidville. And, judging by the look I’m getting from the Head of all Cupidity, and the big Terminate button that he's holding, this problem is about to get much worse.

Want to know my secret? Probably not as much as I do. It seems like everybody knows what the hell I am but me. Apparently, I'm only half the witch I thought I was. Literally. I'd spent my entire life thinking my father was a witch like my mother. I should have known better. Nobody could be that big of a witch. Now, to figure out who and what he is, I get to travel the known realms in search of answers. Unfortunately, sometimes ignorance truly is bliss.

“Marry the devil...or die.” That’s the ultimatum Belle Harrison, vampire slayer, just received from a demon. Belle has only one response: To hell with him. Turns out it’s not that easy, though. Apparently the devil doesn’t know the meaning of the word no. Lucky for Belle, three panty-melting vampires come to her aid. Three hot vampires she can’t resist. Hey, we all have our vices. Hers just happen to have fangs.

There are two things you should always remember about elves. One, they never miss. Two, they never give up. I thought I was safe when my familiar stopped the arrow from turning me into a kabob, but as I said, elves don't give up. Especially when they think you destroyed their city and killed their king in some grandiose quest for power. They didn't know me very well.

Wren has a dark obsession - to find her mother's murderers before they find her. Every new singing gig brings her closer to crossing their names from her list. When a detective shows up with a new lead, she jumps at the chance with fangs bared. But to get the info they need, they’ll have to bust someone out of jail. Sure. No problem.

Ariel Kimber has finally settled into her life. Life is golden, shiny, and the potential for happy days - endless. Until it’s not. When the Council comes to call, you pick up the phone and answer...or you suffer the consequences. Only a fool wouldn’t answer, and Ariel Kimber is no fool. With her coven of guys, her psychotic father, and the honorable Marcus Cole by her side, she can make it through anything.... Even the Council. 

You'd think that basically being in charge of love would be an epic job, right? Wrong. Sure, I can blow some Lust into people's faces and watch the show, but I can't actually participate. It gets old, trust me. Same goes for love. I can pass it out like sugar-free lollipops at a dentist's office, but I can't get any love for myself. It totally sucks. I used to consider myself a hopeless romantic, so why wouldn't I choose to become a cupid? Sounds like a good idea, right? Wrong again. They don't call us stupid cupids for nothing.

What do you do when you find out you’re not who you always thought you were and your whole world gets flipped upside down? Ariel Kimber stumbles into a world she didn’t know existed, a world of magic and nothing is as it seems. Thankfully, she has the guys to guide her, to hold her hand along the way, and she is going to need a whole lot of hand-holding.  

If she could make it through her first semester without killing anyone...that'd be great. San Francisco Bay Coven has been torn apart and no one feels this more than Mika Marshall. Kenzie Kavanagh exposed her father and brother's betrayal. So Mika is starting at the University of Morgana a semester late and praying to the Fates that she'll be able to catch up and graduate with her class. But as a witch with an undeclared specialty she's trying not to bring too much attention to herself.

For some, suffering less is as close to being happy as they’ll ever get. Alessa Dean is a girl who’s used to suffering. She was someone’s daughter, sister, niece. She was whole...once. Now, she’s got nothing left to lose and a choice to make that could change her life forever. A choice given to her by three men who belong to the Wayward Kraken motorcycle club. Three men who give her a way out and a chance to start over. Will she take that chance and possibly find the ability to not only love someone else once again, but to love herself?

Alex and his quantum-powered AI companion might have broken free from Apollo’s threat to shut him down, but he is still on the hook for millions he doesn’t have, and the mega-corp isn’t going to forgive and forget. Desperate to keep his freedom and his company afloat as their illegal funds dry up, Alex tags along with the Black Flags on a mercenary contract on the other side of the globe. Physically recovered but still coming to grips with the synthetic part of himself, Alex struggles to adapt to what his life and body have become.

Corbin is one of those elusive raven shifters and the best assassin in his flock. The Council of Paranormals assigned him to watch a 19 year old witch with orders to kill if need be, but the last thing he expected was to fall for his mark. Now that he knows who she is, what she is...will he follow orders or stray from the path? 

Artificial intelligence (AI) was nearly mankind’s last invention. AI took off like a rocket, then when it racked up an impressive death toll, it crashed before it could blossom and took most high-tech industries with it. Resistance and fears became deep-set. Two decades after the infamous Rev. 4.6 incidents, humanity hasn’t quit dreaming of the wealth and power that could be at their fingertips. A new generation of mega corporations rose from the ashes.

Trick and treat. Daya the nutbag decided that the best way to build a relationship with his daughter was to kidnap her. His daughter, that's me, has decided that I don't feel like having a relationship with him. He says he wants to make up time when really he wants to control my power. The lady doth protest, a lot. The guys try to stage a rescue and fail, so I decide that I'm sick of sitting and waiting for rescue. I'm going to rescue myself. One of the first things I'm going to do when I get home...I'm going to kiss the smirk off of Trick's face. If I survive my escape.

Three brothers set out for revenge, to avenge one man's wrongdoings. He killed everyone they ever loved, stole their world, and nearly killed them in the process. So as the three brothers waited and watched, they took his most treasured possession, his one and only daughter. They knew she was innocent in the war, that she didn't deserve rage or violence, but they didn't care. Nothing would stop the brothers from getting justice for their family.   

Lindsey Walters is a blogger who takes the craziest assignment of her life - sneak aboard a freighter bound for the terrifying alien prison planet known as The Colony and find out the truth about what’s happening to Earth’s brave soldiers. A Hunter from Everis banished to the Colony, Kiel’s focus is to search for hidden enemies on his new home planet, not love. But when his mark awakens and he shares dreams with an unknown woman, everything changes.

I was born in the seventh circle of Hell to two demons of noble lineage. Know what that means? Squat. My brimstone birth certificate and five bucks might get me a cup of coffee from Starbucks. The minute I was born, they handed me off to a wet nurse, sent me to earth, and left me to fend for myself. I suppose, I should thank them. They taught me at an early age that there is nothing in either world more important than self-sufficiency.

Mika took the title of Head Witch with blood and told the world about a sub-class of witches they thought were long gone. Now she has to deal with the Angel of Death, the Council, and somehow keep everyone she loves safe while they prepare for a potential war. Where it will come from though, that's the real question. Can Mika use her new powers to keep everyone safe, or will Death finally find her?

May you live in interesting times. I'm not quite sure who said it, but I'd sure as hell like to find him and beat him in the head with a shovel. One thing about Cedar Falls...it was definitely interesting. I'd have settled for boring. Maybe even dull with a smidge of mediocrity. I guess I had nobody to blame but myself. That's what happens when your mother is the biggest witch, and I mean that literally, on the planet, your father is the god of night, and you're something in between. Something that keeps getting stronger. Something you can't always control.
