One mage: Bel Adams–part demon, gun shy about being rejected by one again, needs a familiar. One familiar: Nico di Rossi–Army Ranger, needs a change of pace and a new purpose in life, is a golden retriever in human form (though not literally). Plus one familiar: Garen Dallarosa–Secret Service, part gargoyle, needs his ex-lover Nico back.

What late-bloomer Madison needs is a pack of no strings attached alphas…so why is it the pack’s beta who she’s falling for? Alphas Lucas and Grey want an omega to spoil, steady their pack’s dynamic, and eventually start a family with. But they’ve been burned in the past: omegas aren’t willing to share the alphas’ attention with the pack’s beta, and Rian? He is non-negotiable, period. Still reeling from her dangerously late presentation, Madison needs to find a pack—and fast.

He's a bad man, and I don't mean trash like your ex. I mean seriously bad. I mean dangerous. You can tell just by looking at him: black eyes, a menacing scowl, and a nose that's been badly broken in the past. He is my arch-nemesis. My mortal enemy. My singular obsession. I was afraid of him when we met. He kidnapped and chained me to a bed. Me—Damon Alexander Beckett of BeckIT fame and fortune. Well, the joke's on him because I'm going to make it my life's mission to destroy him. But first, I have to survive being his captive.

One ghost from the past. Two unknown Australian monsters eating people. Three men who won’t let either problem win. Familiars of choice, healing old wounds, Australian mythology (yes, Nico and Wicky are in Australia): it goes about as well as anyone could expect. With giant amphibians of unusual size that stump even the MAD research department, Wicky may have summoned Godzilla (in his defense he was left unsupervised). The next time they have to travel to a different continent Bel is drugging Nico first...

I’ve spent six years building a life that isn’t defined by my father’s sins—a beautiful girlfriend, a thriving nonprofit, safe dreams that won’t get me into trouble. Someone with my family’s reputation can’t step out of line without drawing attention, and they definitely can’t coach professional swimmers.

When the pack I've been living with won't commit—even after three years—I know I deserve more. After all, I'm an omega. We're rare. Prized. Before I settle down with a pack that is ready to keep their promises, I want to have some fun—like, say, a summer spent picking up as many sexy alphas as I can handle. Where better than the infamous Club Heat to find them? That's where I meet Michael, Theo, and Elias, who need a convenient fake courtship with an omega in order to inherit their pack leader's family business. I'll be sharing their lavish lifestyle during the day... and their beds at night.

Welcome to Mayweather . . . Brenden Sanderson is known in his small town for his sunny personality and being friends with everyone. But when he accidentally tells his adopted daughter's grandparents that he's in a serious relationship right before they announce an unexpected visit, he goes into...

I used to think my future in pro hockey, my motorcycle between my thighs, and my friends were all I needed. But she changed all that. She thinks she’s above it all. She thinks she can move into my father’s house with her gold-digging mother. She thinks she can do no wrong, but I saw her that night. Now I’m consumed by revenge. And my two best friends and I will be the ones to punish her. I won’t think about how soft her lips look or the way she whispers those pretty little lies. My new stepsister ruined my life. And now we’re determined to ruin her.

I know what they call this place: Club Heat. Behind the bar is the only place a beta like me belongs at Ardor, the exclusive club where powerful alpha packs come to meet, mingle, and mate with the omegas who crave them. There's only one man I've ever wanted like that: Conall, my first love, my teenage crush, my best friend… until he presented as an alpha and left me behind.

Raising my sister's autistic son was an unexpected plot twist in my own life. But I loved every minute of it. Even if those minutes meant everything ran on a rigid schedule with little time for anything else. I lived my life for him: software developer by day, bartender by night. He’d want for nothing. And I had no time to want anything. But lately it’s getting harder to do it all on my own.

Bring on death and mayhem—there's no stopping a phoenix. Nothing but you. I'll do whatever it takes. Even if that means using a trickster you can't outmaneuver and the big man himself—Dr. Stein. And don't worry about being lonely in Hell... I'll send your friends there with you.

Too bad I’m not the only one keeping secrets. But halfway through, the rules change. We’re not playing for fun anymore, we’re playing for keeps. I just have to trust my guys aren’t running their own game. The only ones who can break me now are my own devils.

Adrik Volkov worked hard to wipe the slate clean of his criminal past for his sake and his brother’s. Bringing Volkov Industries into the 21st century has taken everything he’s got. But it’s been worth it. His company’s patented mining techniques for harvesting rare earth metals used in electronics and smart tech have made him a billionaire. Sofia DiFalco was more than just a damsel in distress. The curvy stranger made his body buzz with desire and his hard heart beat a little faster.

Marat was the face of Volkov Industries. With his movie star good looks, he attracted class and money to the multi-billion dollar corporation, not to mention all the right PR. But being born with the face of an angel had its disadvantages. Expected to entertain associates, Marat’s activities were anything but celestial. And yes, it was exhausting.

Could I finally admit my true feelings or risk losing everything I'd ever worked for in the process?
