I was the epitome of control. Cocky. Powerful. Ruthless. Until the day Savvy King swaggered into our world. She defied me at every turn, refusing to yield to my command.

To the outside world, Heath Bailey has it all - looks, wealth, women - the good life. But appearances can be deceiving.

All Danica Brand wants is for her father to leave her be, to forget she exists. Her father, on the other hand, knows she’s a sure thing when he’s in trouble, and she's the first person he turns to.

Being crew is walking between two worlds. One world is normal: Prom. Parties. College. Those are the concerns they worry about. In our world, we deal with other situations. Cops. Drugs. Brawling. That’s a typical day for us. But what if it wasn’t? What if there came a day when you stopped? When you considered letting your enemies win? When you didn’t fight back? When you chose a different path? First I lost my family. Then I got the Wolf Crew. I couldn't lose them too. But what happens when Cross, Zellman, and Jordan keep going...and I don’t?

He's sexy and irresistible. I've done my best to ignore the magnetism that flows between us. I don't need complications in my life. I can't get wrapped up in his world, the last thing I need is to get attached to a professional athlete. I don’t have time for heartbreak.

Harley and I had our whole lives planned out, until her plans changed, and those plans didn’t include me. After years spent trying to get the love of my life out of my head and repair my too-damaged heart, I thought I was finally moving on...but my entire world was rocked when Harley unexpectedly moved back to Oak Springs. Every miserable moment I’d spent trying to get over her and every hour I’d wasted trying to erase her from my life came back to haunt me the minute she walked into my office, fear in her eyes, and asked me for help.

Love at first sight. That’s what it was when Rip Myers came up to me in kindergarten. From that point on, we were inseparable best friends. When I work up the courage to tell Rip I love him, I am met with rejection. He tells me he treasures our friendship too much. That statement might as well be a knife to my heart.

Josie: I moved to Ferlaern to find a new life with my daughter. While the other women get all hot and bothered by the alien brutes we move in with, true love is not for me. But Zetar sure makes my face—and other parts of me—zing. And despite the fact that he irks the H-E-double-hockey-sticks out of me, he also makes me dream of what might be hanging out beneath his leather clothing. When I’m kidnapped by the duskhorde, Zetar comes charging to my rescue. He claims I'm his fated mate and that he's here to save me.

Three years ago, the Mafia murdered my first love and shattered my chance of happiness. I won't stop searching for the gunman until justice is served, even if every step toward the killer is a step into the gaping jaws of Philly's notorious underworld.

I've lost too much to risk giving my heart away again, especially to someone as deliciously tempting as Brandon Lewis.

Off-limits. That’s what Jude is to me. My older brother doesn’t trust me with his player of a best friend, which is totally fine, because I’m not interested.

They’re way too easy to fall for.

They did their best to destroy everything I hold dear, but heaven made one fatal flaw - they didn’t kill me when they had the chance. You don’t attack the ones I love and get away with it. I never asked for this. I never wanted to become what I am. But the path to hell isn’t paved with good intentions. It’s paved by the retribution of the worst kind of monsters. The ones we create. And heaven is about to face the deadliest of their makings.
