Lately, I’ve been feeling restless. My best friends are happily mated and constantly loving all over each other. While I’m happy for them, I also can’t help but be a little jealous. It’s a foreign feeling for me; I’ve never been interested in a relationship, since all of my adult life has been about the next hookup with whatever man was in front of me at the time. But lately, hookups just haven’t hit the spot (heh—that sounds dirty). Eager for a change of scenery, I accompany my friends to Spain for the feast being held in honor of Dante and Ben’s marriage.

Life is great. I’m healthy and happy, enjoying every day with my sweet and sassy Finn by my side. Jake is graduating college and starting his new career, and in just a few weeks, Finn and I will be joined together as husbands. But it never fails that, just when you least expect it, life will throw you a curveball. However, no matter what we’re faced with - awkward run-ins with estranged family, painful memories, discrimination - I’m confident that Finn and I can get through the craziness together and find our way to our happily ever after.

Colt - I went to federal prison when I was only 19, and spent 16 years behind bars. Now at age 38, I finally have my life on the right track, all because I took charge of my situation. I now demand control in every aspect - including in the bedroom. I’ve kept people at a distance and only allowed myself to indulge in casual hook ups. But everything changes when I meet Westin. I know I should leave him alone. He deserves better than me. His soul is spun from sugar and mine is blackened from my sins. But I can’t help myself - everything about the sweet man calls to me.

I’m not like most guys my age; I had a very different upbringing, which is why I’m going on my first date at age 21. I have dreams of finding someone special and falling in love, but those dreams are dashed when my date goes straight to hell. Luckily, two men swoop in to rescue me. Two gorgeous men. Two gorgeous brothers. I couldn’t pick out the more handsome of the pair if I had a gun to my head. And once we get to talking, I find out I like each of their personalities as well.

I’m a nervous person. I have panic attacks. I get so overwhelmed that my body rails against me; my breathing falters, my heart races, and my limbs go numb. So naturally, I thought it was a great idea to pop into a hardcore sex club. Okay, so that’s not exactly how it happened. I researched a BDSM club in my area for nearly a year before I got the nerve to go in to hopefully find what it was I was looking for. I needed a daddy; someone to look after me and help me out when I got nervous. Someone to care for me and help me make decisions.

Ambrose is the demigod son of Hades, the ruler of the underworld. He is in charge of punishing those who were wicked in their lifetime, as well as housing lost souls, but there's only one soul Ambrose truly cares about; his mate's.

Silas - For nearly 700 years, I’ve protected my coven, fighting against every foe that plagued us. I never imagined that an ancient evil would resurface, or that it would attack what means more to me than anything; my mate. Now my closest friends and I are tasked with spreading warning to other vampires in covens across the country, and recruiting as many as we can to fight alongside us. I’m responsible for the very existence of our kind, and the safety and well-being of my human fated love.

Jay - I’m not what you’d call a “people person”. It’s not that I dislike people necessarily, but I do hate their drama; I’ve got enough of that shit in my personal life. I recently learned that the man who raised me isn’t my biological father; rather, my father is a grumpy asshole named Brooks. Things were bumpy at first, but now I get along great with Brooks and his fiance Noah, who is four years younger than I am. But the drama doesn't stop there; for some time, I’ve been questioning my sexuality. I even started fantasizing bout my silver fox of a boss, Mr. Taylor.

Brooks - I’ve been coming to this little café every weekday for the past month, and everyday the same guy, Noah, takes my order. He always flirts with me, talks to me, and makes me feel like a million bucks. The problem? He’s in his mid-twenties, which is a baby compared to my 45 years. The first time he winked at and flirted with me, I thought he was making fun of me. I may have cussed him out. Okay, I did. But just a little. But, to my surprise, he just laughed and told me I was cute when I was grumpy.

Archie is a fox shifter who has only ever known a wild life of living off the land, as he's forbidden to pass boundaries set by his Alpha. He's never been valued or appreciated, all because of birthright and ignorance. He's been tossed aside by his family and used by his skulk until he can no longer see his own worth. But with Fate's intervention, a little luck, and a lot of bravery, Archie finds a new life filled with friends, comfort, and a perfect mate.

I’m a piece of crap, but at least I can admit it. I hook up with random guys every week, but it never means anything; it’s just nameless, emotionless fun with other pieces of crap. The only person who sees me as being worth anything is my best friend, Chase. He’s everything I wish I could be: kind, sweet, understanding. He’s too good for this world, and definitely too good for me.

Zane and his dad Grayson became the laughing stock of the town when they claimed to have seen something incredible during a walk in the woods - a mountain lion which changed into a human. After years of ridicule and harassment and having everyone they cared about turn their backs on them, they moved to a remote cabin in the woods, where they searched tirelessly (and fruitlessly) for the creature. Zane heads into the forest, desperate to locate the animal and grant his father’s desire, but only finds himself in trouble.

Every Saturday morning during my shift at the diner, I’m graced with the presence of the most gorgeous man on the planet, Officer Gage Langston. The problem? I’ve always had a bit of verbal diarrhea when I get nervous, and Officer Langston makes me extremely nervous. Not because he’s a cop. No, my mouth becomes a geyser of stupidity when he’s around because I’ve had a raging crush on the man since the first time I saw him walk into the diner. The even bigger problem? Even if the sexy older man weren’t obviously straight, he’s way out of my league.

For 328 years, my soul has ached, calling out for its fated match. I yearn for the one who will complete me; the one I can protect, love, honor, and cherish for all time. Of all the many ways I imagined I would meet my soul mate, finding him selling his body in a dank alleyway wasn’t one of them. He was underfed, mistreated, and terrified. He was in need of my love and care, for me to show him his worth and grant him a new life of luxury. But can he learn to trust me? Can I protect him from the demons that follow him? Can he accept me for what I am?

But if they can make it through the rough ride of skewed first impressions, danger, heartache, and baggage, they may both find exactly what they need.

In search of healing and much needed relaxation, Hayes is traveling by airplane for the first time in his 26 years of life. He's nervous, but is comforted by the man seated next to him, 43-year-old overachiever Jesse, who was forced (and maybe a bit tricked) into taking a vacation by his coworker.
