Showing results for "never" in Paranormal

Alice Seastairs leads a quiet life working in her grandparents’ antique shop and hiding her magical secret from the human world. As one of Starfall Point’s resident witches, it’s her job to protect the Island from dark magic and unruly ghosts—including the ones that show up at her shop attached to antiques. But her orderly life is turned upside down when a gorgeous stranger buys the islands most historic—and haunted—hotel.

Thanks to the temperamental ancient magic that runs through my veins, I can split myself into three women. Three sides of me, and we don’t always get along. My boss is the only one who knows my secret. I can’t risk crossing him, so I go where I am told...for now. A girl’s got to do what a girl’s got to do to survive, right? If you want something done right, do it yourself. That’s my motto, and it has worked just fine for me…until three sexy werewolves show up and my boss forces me to help them with a mission. Life’s a real kick in the teeth sometimes.

Unstoppable war. Unspeakable sins. Impossible love. The Dread Sorceress Oneira has retired. She's exhausted from fighting the endless wars of kings and queens, and has long accepted that her death is near. Alone at last but for a few uninvited companions - a near-mythical wolf, a goddess's avatar, and a feline that embodies magic itself - Oneira realizes that she's bored. On a whim, or perhaps at the behest of fate, she makes an unlikely trip to the most extensive library in existence: the home of her most powerful rival, the sorcerer Stearanos.

When winter comes to the Court of Dreams, the war against the Subterranean of Nightmares freezes. To celebrate, the faerie queen holds a tournament where mortals compete for the prize of a dream come true. For outsider Willow Nightstalk, it's the only way to break the curse making her as ugly as she feels. But the deadly tournament has a darker purpose—to flush out flawed mortal blights on the perfectly pretty fae society… and to kill them.

Da duecento anni ogni donna Darling sparisce il giorno del suo diciottesimo compleanno. Alcune stanno via un giorno, altre una settimana o un mese. Ma tornano sempre distrutte. Oggi compio diciotto anni e la mamma si sta affannando a sbarrare porte e finestre. Non servirà a niente. Perché non appena scenderà la notte, lui verrà per me. E, questa volta, Peter Pan e i Ragazzi Sperduti non mi lasceranno più andare.

A year ago, everything was different. I had just left my home, joining the infamous Mountainside Pack. The daughter of an omega wolf, I've always been prized - but not as prized as I would be if my new packmates found out my secret. But when my fated mate - Mountainside's Alpha - rejected me in front of his whole pack council and my secret got out, I realized I had one choice. Going lone wolf was the only option I had, and I took it.

Father Cade Frederic is a holy man. Brought up in the streets of Paris, he has dedicated his life to the church. But there's a monster that lingers just beneath the surface. A sickness. One that bleeds darkness and feeds on the damned. When he's tasked to become the priest in Festivale, Vermont, a town both beautiful in architecture and riddled with despair, his sickness sings, demanding he rid the place of evil.

Ash is technically a fire mage, but he can't do much. Turning his bedroom lights on and off without having to get out of bed isn't exactly awe inspiring, not when anyone with the right gadget could clap and do the same thing. Worse, sometimes he senses something bigger and brighter lurking under his skin, and it feels so familiar he knows it has to be his magic, but then he burps or sneezes, and the feeling passes. So it's probably just allergies . . . or gas. Yeah . . . Not exactly brimming with magical oomph. Not anymore. It sucks.

All Violet Parker wants is a day off. Better yet, just a “normal” day. But things never go as planned, especially in Deadwood. Someone - or rather something - broke into the local taxidermy shop and took bites out of the critter displays before racing off into the dark. But this is no random crime, and Violet knows it. With a bounty on her head and troublemakers zeroing in on her, she soon goes from being the hunter to the hunted.

Cat shifter Simon refuses to jeopardize any of his nine lives, thank you very much. That saying "curiosity killed the cat" won't ever apply to him. No way, no how. Except...When he's out hunting for field mice one night, he finds the most wonderful whistle. It's magical and intriguing and so very, very pretty. He knows he should return it, but what's the worst that could happen if he blew on it first? Just once.

I'm trapped in a cabin with a gorgeous dragon shifter. Granted, I was the one who accidentally ignited his heat, an intense mating process. So, it's kind of my fault. Whoops. If we can resist sealing the bond by avoiding, uh, sealing the deal, we'll both be free to go. If we can't, we'll be stuck together. Forever.

Ever since I discovered I’m not human, I’ve always believed wolf shifters are monsters, me included. Except the alpha and mayor of Blackwood Creek isn’t a monster at all. He’s my fake fiancé for my own protection. As the prime suspect in a murder investigation, I’ve got no choice but to take sanctuary with Ridge until I can clear my name. But my presence in town means the entire pack in Blackwood Creek are in danger from the hunters who are after me.

I flirted with a dragon shifter at a wedding, and it accidentally started a magical, miserable mating process between us. It's technically my fault, but we're not focusing on that. Now, we have to figure out how to fight the magic pushing us together. Or… we have to embrace the bond. But neither of us knows a thing about relationships, so the odds of success? They're not looking great for us. I have to figure out what to do about the bond—and fast. Because the more time passes, the worse my pain is going to get…and the less control Jasper will have over his beastly side.

Isabella Spaga is about to reluctantly walk down the aisle with Mr. Dangerously Wrong…but not if dashing vampire Chance has anything to say about it. As a favor to Bones, Chance has come to derail this wedding of beauty to the beast. Now if only he can keep his hands off the bride. From New York Times best-selling author Jeaniene Frost's Night Huntress world, it's the wedding of the season…that everyone wants to miss. (Originally appeared in Weddings from Hell anthology.)

Handsome vampire Luke Bennett was out at a bar and looking for a good time. Luckily for him, the gorgeous Kimberly Moody was looking for the same. A night of no-strings-attached fun was just the thing Kimberly needed after a stressful week at work. Luke's status as a vampire was just an unexpected bonus for her. However, that single night of fun was soon to become the complete opposite as Kimberly found she was somehow pregnant with the vampire's baby.

Wolf shifter Gray Collins returns to his home pack to avenge his father’s murder, never expecting to take on the role of leader. Gray is a loner with no desire to tackle the politics of being Pack Alpha. Worse yet, he falls for the man he’s come to depend on - omega Logan Richardson. According to pack lore, omegas are inferior, nothing more than lowly servants. Or are they?

When witches stand together, anything is possible. England, 1845. The Harris family is steeped in old magic, a secret kept hidden for generations. Jane’s magic may be the key to an ancient vampire prophecy that could change the course of history, or doom her to an eternity haunted by a dark hunger. Jane is raised to be the perfect debutante, a lady meant for duty and quiet obedience. Forced into an arranged marriage with a cold and calculating man, she quickly learns that her new husband's cruelty may be the death of her. But a bigger threat is on the horizon.

He crept forward between the tall narrow aisles created by the shelves. Just before he reached the corner he heard a thump, the sound of a body hitting the floor. He rushed forward into the corner of the room. The desk was empty. The chair was pushed up against it, neatly awaiting its usual occupant. No one was in the corner. No one was there to make the sound. No one...alive.

When Raya the witch goes to Paris to up her witchcraft game, the demon Phoenix follows her—much to her annoyance. She knows better than to fall for a sarcastic, devil-may-care pleasure-seeker like him…or so she thinks. Everything bores Phoenix beyond words—except Raya. Not that he’d ever admit it, even to himself. But when he accidentally eats enchanted macarons, all hell breaks loose—and Raya is the only one who can save him from a relentless witch who’s out to imprison all of demonkind.

Meet Carrie Adams: Serious. Disciplined. Focused. But as an aspiring actress, she’s at the mercy of casting directors who barely glance at her headshot before making snap judgments about her talent based solely on her looks. She feels powerless…until one night she goes from snarling at her obnoxiously attractive coworker (musician-slash-bartender Nick Stokes) to wanting to kill him. Literally. Turns out Nick has become LA’s latest vampire and she is his chosen Slayer.
