My Fate. Those were the words being whispered behind closed doors. A secret that echoed down these dark hallways, like it held power. I wanted to believe I was safe in this new land. Wanted to trust the man I was losing my heart too. Because the spell had been cast and love had weaved itself around me. But could that love really conquer all? Could it really be powerful enough to defeat our enemies? Or would it only jeopardise the future?

A blink of an eye. That was all it took for my world to end. For it to literally crumble beneath my feet. The Rift that tore through the land and opened it up to unearthly danger. After that, everything changed, and I had to change with it. Any hopes for the future I may have had, now lost and a new me forced to be reborn. Each day in this brutal new world was a fight for survival. One filled with living nightmares and all those myths and monsters I had once read about as a kid. But there was one important thing I had never learned about in school…

But when the lights dim and the crowds disappear, real life crashes in. Old flames reignite. Scandals threaten everything. Secrets demand reckoning. And love — the kind that changes you — refuses to stay quiet. From a second-chance reunion that never truly ended…

Until an oracle predicted my regal future, I'd never imagined myself rising above the curve of my round ears. After all, I was the magicless halfling loved by beasts but loathed by every pure-blooded faerie at court. Well . . . by all but one. Dante Regio, prince of Luce, had owned my heart since he gave me my first kiss. If gathering a slew of iron relics could help me overthrow the current monarch and crown his brother to rule at my side, then treasure hunting I'd go. If only the oracle had warned me what winged demon I was releasing into the world.

She was going to be the first woman to compete on the professional bull riding circuit, and nothing was going to stop her. Not the Boys Club that already held her to a different standard.

I’ve always wanted to be stalked. Turns out, I already am. Signing that contract was supposed to give me control, masked strangers, the illusion of danger, and a fantasy I could walk away from. Except the men who answered weren’t strangers at all. They chased me through cemeteries, cornered me in libraries, and left notes on my pillow while I slept. I thought it was a game I controlled. Then the masks came off. They intercepted my contract. Hacked the website and manipulated everything to make me theirs. One of them has been watching me for months before I ever signed anything.

She’s organized. He’s impulsive. She plans her days down to the minute. He can barely remember what day it is. On paper, they don’t add up. But sometimes love shows up exactly when—and how—you least expect it.

Kieran is here for revenge. He's here to kill the most powerful man in Magical San Francisco—his father. He'll destroy anything in his way. And I've managed to catch his eye. I live in the shadows for a reason, split between the worlds of the magical and the mundane. I'm a punching bag for both societies, but with the magic of Hades, it's the only way to stay alive. To stay free. If the powers that be knew what I was, they'd slap me in a cage and make me their weapon.

My name is Abby Lee, or BayAreaAbby, according to one million followers on Social Share. There are quite a few perks to having that kind of following, but each month I put together a local community donation event and it’s my favorite thing to do. December’s theme, “Support Your Local Fire Station,” was no different.

A man awakens in a clearing in what appears to be medieval England with no memory of who he is, where he came from, or why he is there. Chased by a group from his own time, his sole hope for survival lies in regaining his missing memories, making allies among the locals, and perhaps even trusting in their superstitious boasts. His only help from the “real world” should have been a guidebook entitled The Frugal Wizard’s Handbook for Surviving Medieval England, except his copy exploded during transit.

Help with the Rift that ruptured and caused our worlds to collide. But as the truth started to unravel, I was left asking myself how far into his world was I willing to let myself fall?
