Desdemona Althenia has spent her life in the shadows, hiding volatile magic that could kill her if unleashed. Born into the lowest ranks of society, she's survived by her wits—and her willingness to lie. But when fate traps her within the brutal walls of Visnatus Academy, power is finally within reach. Prince Lucian Aibek lives beneath the weight of a crumbling empire and a family that thrives on control. Desdemona's fire may be his freedom—or his downfall.

For twenty-one years, I've been the Morvoren family secret—the female twin vampire no one could know existed. Too rare. Too valuable. Too vulnerable. While my brother built his reputation at SilverGate Academy, I studied behind enchanted walls, a shadow student of a world I couldn't join. Until now. For reasons my family won't tell me, I'm finally free. Safe to be part of the world. But it's hard to be excited when your academy bedroom comes with a resident ghost, you're not the only new supe at the Academy, and your brother's hot friend has more secrets floating around than the family crypt.

Three days after hexing her ex’s underwear drawer, Clove Morelli returns to the magical town of Willowmere with nothing but her grimoire, her sassy feline familiar, and a dream she’s finally ready to chase: opening her very own enchanted coffee shop. The only problem? The charming old café she buys comes with a surprise tenant in the upstairs apartment—Thorne, a handsome and mysterious shadowmancer with scars, secrets, and no intention of moving out.

My magic is evolving, unpredictable, and wild. What once exhausted me now flows through my veins like an addiction. Ancient texts whisper of vampires like me. They don't mention the hunger that comes with the power, or that being hunted is my new normal. Silvergate Academy isn't what we thought. The professors track my progress too meticulously. Record every surge of my abilities too carefully. Beneath the academy lies a sanctuary of ancient magic and even older secrets. My family didn't hide me for twenty-one years out of love. They hid me out of fear.

My name is Isabel Gallagher, and I have a secret. I can see ghosts. If anyone discovers my ability, everyone I care about will be killed. To keep my secret, I have to pretend to be magicless. Since mages value power above all else, I'm the town of Hawthorne Grove's favorite punching bag. I only have a year left here. Then, I can move away to a normal human town and forget that other mages exist. My five-year plan of staying alive and remaining undetected is on track. Until one night at the gym, I met them.

The moment I lay eyes on Valentina Ferraro, I know I have to have her. There’s just one teeny problem—her husband. So, I do what any red-blooded, possessed made man would do and I proposition him. Five million dollars for one weekend with his beautiful young wife. He agrees, like I knew he would, because he needs the money and he wants his secrets kept hidden from Don D’Onofrio. Valentina is livid, but I like my women stubborn and fiery and the more she resists, the more I crave her. One taste of those lush lips is all it takes to seal my fate. I’m not giving her back.

My secret's out. The mage council knows about my forbidden magic, and they plan to make an example out of me and everyone who knows the truth. Everything I feared for so many years is coming true. Running from my power didn't protect my secret or those I care about. So, I have to embrace my magic and all the death and destruction it leaves in its wake. The only way to evade the council is by working together with my mates as we travel to another realm.

Four powerful, mythical men want to claim me as theirs: a sweet but possessive light pegasus, a reclusive and scarred bear shifter, a deadly, twisted dark pegasus, and an unhinged imp shifter with a soul as fractured as mine. They're everywhere I turn—wanting me, loving me, protecting me—no matter how hard I push them away. But they don't understand that I can never be theirs. That I can't accept our bond, that I can't accept them.

My neighbor believes in Christmas magic. That's because someone takes out her trash, does her dishes and laundry, clears snow from her driveway, and puts up Christmas decorations in her house. She has no idea it's me, her stalker neighbor who watches her every move. Seeing only the good around her, she fails to notice that I also steal her panties and curtains. She doesn't know I'm in her bedroom every night. What I do is for her protection as much as for my pleasure. Emma loves to help, often bringing sick or lost animals into her home.

Growing up, we were The Three Musketeers. It was Tyler, Noah, and Scarlett against the world. Best friends and fiercely loyal to each other. Inseparable until we grew apart. And it was all my fault. One night between Noah Milner and me changed everything. The way I saw him. The way I saw her. The way I saw all of us. I would've picked him if he had let me, and now, a decade later, I still want to. Because Noah and I belong together. The problem? I'm married to her.

Desperate, angry, and unable to heal, Adriana hits rock bottom and is forced to seek help for the sake of her son. What she doesn’t expect is a friendship from an unlikely source—Julian Baker, her best friend’s ex-fiancé. Julian is every bit the man she isn’t expecting to walk into her life. Intelligent, witty, and extremely handsome. Their unique friendship soon turns into a forbidden relationship. As lovers, they form a bond that must remain hidden from their family and friends, but secrets can only be kept for so long.

My life was normal. Just my mom and I, living in a small town on the East Coast. The eve of my twenty first birthday, it all changed. A father I have never known returned and took me away from all I knew. Trapped and tortured. Destined for something I knew nothing about. Little did I know, my entire life, I’d been haunted by the devil himself. He was always watching and waiting. As leader of an infamous cult in our area, this is no longer a haunting. He is here. And I’m terrified.

One night out with my friends and everything changes. I was just supposed to let loose and forget about my miserable life for a few hours. Instead, I find myself hunted by masked men, powerful warlocks who crave me for reasons I don't yet understand. Each one represents a different fate—none of them good. Now, I'm the prize in their twisted game, and they'll stop at nothing to claim me. But I'm not the helpless prey they think I am. As their powers weaken with the waning moon, mine are growing. And I'm learning—fast.

The truth about Silvergate burns like enchanted silver against vampire skin. My blood holds the key to something so valuable that ancient powers would sacrifice anything to possess it. Even me. But my power was never meant to be a weapon. It was meant to be a sanctuary. As rival forces converge on what I've become, I realize the true nature of defence isn't about walls or shields or protection spells. It's about deciding who deserves to survive—and who doesn't.

Ronan Caldwell is my grumpy, too-handsome-for-his-own-good neighbor. He’s the town’s brooding sheriff...and my fake boyfriend. I’ve been lying to my family about dating him for the past year, convinced no one would ever know. But then they dropped a bomb—they’re coming to visit. Desperate to keep my story straight, I beg Ronan to play along. He agrees, but as the line between fake and real starts to blur, I keep reminding myself it’s all just for show. Right?

When my boyfriend Cole invited me to celebrate Christmas at his stepdad's cabin, nothing could have prepared me for what would happen next. Griffin's nothing like I pictured. Instead of a typical middle-aged man, I'm faced with broad shoulders, a muscular chest, and a jawline sharp enough to kill. Spine-tingling grazes and heated glances that last too long have me feeling guilty about how my body's reacting. That is until my boyfriend asks to share me with his stepdad.

I can spin gold, I lie. With my life at stake, I have no other choice. I get one chance to turn my lie into truth, and I'm shocked when I succeed. But now the cruel human king demands I become his wifepassing between his bed and being locked away in a tower, spinning gold until my last breath. My only way out is to summon him. A brutal Fae prince. The deal we strike is sickening, but it's the only way I'll live after I'm caught escaping. My new captor drags me back to his realm.

I thought killing the head of the mage council would finally give me a sliver of peace. Instead, it cost me everything: my safety, my sanity, and the man I love. While we race to find a way to save Archer, Lua is preparing to destroy the world's magic. If she succeeds, Earth will die, and the universe will follow. To stop her, I'll need every ounce of my volatile magic, the strength of my found family, and the courage to risk everything. Draining her magic might not be enough. I might have to take her soul.

When I found an injured wolf outside the Witches' Brew, I couldn't leave him to suffer alone. Taking him home, I nursed him back to health.

I thought I was done with romance, but as I get to know the man behind the wolf, my heart slowly starts to open again. The looks of longing and the sizzling connection between us can't be denied, and the longer he stays with me, the more I start hoping for things I know I shouldn't.
