He was dark and handsome. Charming, older, and rich. She was the young and pretty girl, infatuated with a suave man who didn't exist. After leaving home and burning her bridges, Shelby Ann was cocooned in the gloss of high society— the devil in a suit at her side. But beyond acquiring the skill and poise to pull off being a trophy wife, she would discover that all was not as it seemed. With the honeymoon over, the dirt and grime seeped through the loving facade to reveal the monsters that laid beneath.

Once upon a time, there was a young girl named Goldilocks, who innocently wandered into a home owned by a family of bears.... Okay, my name is Ria. And I may have broken in, but I was high and it was cold outside. Oh, and the bears were actually shifters. Potayto, potahto. The point is, I’m kind of a wreck. Plus, I robbed my cheating, lying a-hole of an ex-boyfriend on my way out the door and he’s not thrilled about it, so I’m stuck with these three distractingly attractive men for the time being—one of whom is weirdly hung up on the whole breaking-and-entering thing. What could go wrong?

When the truth about the blood oath is revealed, Calla has a devastating choice to make: leave the vampires she’s caught feelings for or stay and fight for the life she’s built with them. And each choice has severe, irreversible consequences.

“Don’t let the scars of your past define who you are in the future.” Yeah, I’ve heard that all before. But what they don’t tell you is how impossible that is when you look in the mirror and see those same scars every day of your life, right there on your face. Yeah, not so easy to get over. Then she comes running into my life, a ray of sunshine followed by a wildflower… and I fall hard. The last thing I want to do is tie her down to a beast like me. The only question is, will I be able to hold the beast back from his soulmate?

Mean girls at school and assholes at home, I could handle. None of that mattered, because I had two of the most amazing mates by my side. That is, until the universe decided to throw me for a twisted loop and fated me to my biggest tormentor. Taking matters into my own hands in the heat of the moment, I end up in more pain than I can imagine. Now I have to figure out how to go about life, while nursing a broken bond.

Upon arriving back home, my mates and I are greeted with unrest in the streets and within the palace itself. I have been labeled a traitor to our nation, and Camila is calling for my head. Not everyone wants me dead, though. In this new world, my supporters are hidden in the shadows, waiting for me to give them a voice. When we’re captured by the king, I’m separated from the men who have stolen my heart and ruled my body for so long. Alone, I must face the monster who raised me - King Ocelot himself. At last, I can ask the questions I have wanted answered for so long.

They call me crazy, psycho, insane. Like I care. The only people's opinions I actually give a rip about are my brothers. Hell, they know me better than anyone and there is no doubt I'm all those things and more. The difference is, they know that even if everything I do seems crazy, it's always for the good of my club and my family. I would do anything to protect my brothers, my club. That's all I ever needed, until I walk in on the most perfect sight out of my deepest darkest fantasies while out on a job. A little sprite of a thing cutting open some d-bag on her dining room table.

I had no idea how much I wanted to take Purgatory's throne and rule Hell with the Seven Sinners. Too bad the most notorious devil would prefer to rule alone. If only that was the worst of it. My soulmate’s health declines, and I must kill him to guide his soul to Hell and help him take his throne. How can I murder the one who is responsible for my angel-kissed soul? I don’t have a choice, though.

My first year of college is already off to a bad start. My boyfriend of three years betrayed me at the end of summer party. He said I wasn't enough anymore, along with some other things that hurt to hear. I might be socially shy at times, but I’m not stupid, I know now what was really happening. Wanting to prove him wrong, to make him eat his words, I took my friend's suggestion and hired the Kings of the Kingston Academy Host club to bring me out of my awkward shell.

Corrupting angels should be fun. But damn it. It’s more soul-crushing and infuriating work than I expected. Especially when Lucifer, a.k.a. Lucian, is a lying sack of demon guts and would much prefer to rule Hell alone.

Growing up as part of one of the most ruthless families in the world was bad enough. Being blind is worse. Especially when my family sees it as a weakness and wants nothing more than to torture me for things I can't control. That's okay, though. I was getting away as fast and as far as I could. I just had to find a way out of my evil brother's clutches. When I hear a noise coming from a secret room, everything changes. After finding the door in the house I was born and raised in, and realizing just how sick and demented my brother is, I know my only option is to do my best to help.

As Calla’s relationship with the vampires who laid claim to her continues to grow, they are faced with their biggest obstacle yet—her mortality. And when vampires are outed on national television, putting all of their lives at risk, the lines between right and wrong become blurred as they must devise a plan to protect their own. Despite the looming danger, Calla can’t help falling deeper for the vampires who she’s come to learn have more to them than the blood oath that brought them to her. On the brink of war with both hunters and ancient vampires, they must pick a side.

She was promised to us before she was born... Now we've come to collect. Crimson Bound explores the events from Bound in Crimson from the POVs of Atlas, Kade, Gabriel, and Lex.

Against all odds, Calla is adjusting to her new life alongside the vampires who brought her into the supernatural world. As they work to bring longtime enemies together, to forge a better future for vampires and humans alike, they must find a way to mend the rifts created long before Calla even existed. But the rocky relationship between the vampires and those who hunt them isn’t the only threat. An ancient dynasty of vampires close to them is hellbent on destroying their peace and the life Calla has built with her mates.

Being a young, semi-talented artist with big dreams is hard enough for June Matthews, but to make matters worse, her boss is a total dick. Dr. Amos Brady, a neurosurgeon, and unapologetic a-hole, seems determined to make his secretary's life miserable. When Dr. Brady rudely points out that her "stripper" underwear is showing, June decides she's had enough. Well, okay, she hadn't meant to set his pants on fire, but she isn't mad about it, either. That is, until their office manager makes everyone go to a wilderness retreat to "foster communication" and force everyone to get along.

Craving her was wrong...losing her was a necessity. What we had was real, but it's over. Ancient history. She was under my skin, but I was under her dad's roof. He warned me to stay away, but I couldn't. We risked everything, and I lost it all, to protect us both. Now I'm empty, and it's all too clear what's missing. Or, rather, who. None of the women who warm my bed can ever fill the void inside my shattered heart.

So everything the pure bloods have been taught all these years was a lie? Does God really know what his right hand men are doing in his name? And how the hell do I tell three of my mates that their fathers are lying, deceiving sorry excuses of Archangels? My life got turned upside down the moment I stepped onto this island, and it never seems to stop. I went from two mates to five.

They thought taking my Wrenny C was a good idea. They were wrong. Dead wrong. With Kingston and Sullivan by my side, we're on the hunt for those that threaten to rip our newfound family apart. But things are worse than we could have imagined. One thing's for sure: I'd give my life and my stash of ice cream to protect the ones I love.

From the moment I scent her, I have to have her underneath me. The human female spins and runs straight into my chest. “Oh!” she says but then she stops, frozen as she stares up at me. “Hi.” I, too, am stopped in place. This female is nothing like the others I have seen. She is petite, with long flowing black hair. Her features are as foreign to me as any humans, but for some reason I find her face pleasing. Before I can think better of it, my tongue sneaks out over my lips to scent my surroundings.

My whole life is one tangled lie. A horrible deception. All my past choices steered by the woman who hunts me without pause. She’s powerful, vicious, and cruel, feared by the entire supernatural community. She’s also an immortal. Yeah, she can’t be killed—supposedly. Nothing like an insurmountable challenge, right?
