Nora Hart is twenty-four years old, but she's lost everything, rebuilt her life, fought through grief and worse, all while managing to avoid the shifter world that broke her in the first place. Despite her near death and struggle for survival all on her own, she's done quite well and has created a pretty normal life for herself. Despite all that, fate isn't done messing with her.

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. Little did I know he was actually a wolf shifter, investigating a series of unusual activities happening outside of Pleasant Grove. 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.

Torn between two realms, the fate of a kingdom and my father hang in the balance… I need my mate—a darkly dangerous fae prince—more than ever. And he needs me to help claim his throne. But Ruskin is gone. Disappeared into a place most dare not speak of. There isn’t time to mourn. In the human realm, a cruel king holds my father captive. While in the fae realm, Ruskin’s mother, Evanthe, is determined to use her corrupted magic to wreak havoc on the Seelie Court. Suddenly, something is changing in me.

Kael, Finn, and Torin—The Sabers. They rule the northern tribes with brutal magic and unrelenting power. Feared, ruthless, and untouchable, they are not the kind of men you hunt. And yet, I did. For years, I tracked their kind, fulfilling the oath I made to avenge my family—a huntress stalking warlocks, one soul at a time. But one misstep changed everything. Now, I'm their prisoner.

Heartbroken and betrayed, I fled the faerie court only to be dragged back by my captor, a dark Fae Prince. I should have never made a deal with Ruskin. He's used me before. Now, he needs me again. The Queen has been doomed to eternal sleep. And I alone can break the spell. Once she wakes, my work should be done. I can leave and force myself to forget the handsome prince and his brutal yet beautiful court. Queen Evanthe's return was meant to heal the land, but she's too weak.

When my Christmas plans go up in flames, the last thing I expect is Luke Covey to sweep in and save the day. Spending the holiday with him and his mom might make this my favorite Christmas I've ever had. Too bad for me, there's one unexpected gift that's going to last long past the holiday season. Ready or not, Luke and I are going to be parents.

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.

My father is a legend. Some call me football royalty, and in my hometown of Louisiana, I suppose I am. His legacy didn’t prepare me for Bryant Hudson. The quarterback. I swore I’d never date football players. Permanently. Yet Bryant had other plans. Three dates and a handful of conversations, I handed him my heart without realizing it. But, Bryant shatters my soul. I’m left picking up the pieces. If only erasing him from my heart was as easy.

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.

I’m Pippa Chase. I was about to become Pippa Snothead, but then my fiance cheated on me and I called off the wedding...I’m heartbroken, but at least I avoided a horrible last name. Now I’m on my way to Paradise Valley, Montana to lick my wounds and figure out what’s next in my life. I’m going to live with my childhood best friend TJ Wyatt, on a ranch he bought. Ever since we were young we had a pact, if ever one of us needed the other, we would be there for each other.

I had a plan, then fate laughed in my face. Three years ago, I was banished from my home for protecting my family. I’ve had to learn to survive on my own, while also heeding my mother’s warnings. “Never let anyone know who you truly are.” Which proves almost too easy for me to do until my fated mate stumbles out of a newly opened portal.

Two years ago I made her my final girl. Perhaps I'm a little obsessed. The shrine covering my bedroom wall would certainly agree. I've even played out a few scenarios that end with her taking my knife in much more creative ways than usual. Today is the day I finally take her life. I'm ramping up the carnage and tying up loose ends in bloody bows.

Like many girls, I too used to dream of fairytales. Until that illusion was shattered, and I saw firsthand just how cruel life could be. Now I just wished my nightmare would end. The life I knew ceased to exist as I suffered at the hands of my stepmother, who hated me. I fought to escape and once I did, I thought life would become normal again, but that couldn't have been further from the truth. Tragedy was woven in my bloodstream, hiding in my DNA structure. I had a sliver of peace before it all went to hell again.

There are rules to the ritual. Enter the masquerade willingly. Submit to the bidding. Try to survive what comes after. I never planned to be part of the Blood Moon Ritual—an ancient tradition where warlocks hunt and claim women under the guise of a dark ceremony. But when a mysterious invitation appears in my favorite book and a gown shows up at my door, I make one reckless decision.

Three months ago, four words changed my life forever. My life was perfect. Late nights at the office, a penthouse on the Upper East Side, a new woman in my bed every night. Then I got a knock at the door, and everything changed. And all it took was four words: you have a daughter. In a whirlwind, we moved back to my hometown. I needed to be surrounded by family, by people who could help me cope with the fact I was now a single father to a grief-stricken twelve-year-old. All I wanted was help.

Nothing in my life is going as planned. I haven’t been discovered walking down the street in my $40 Old Navy skinny jeans and told I have “The Look,” my hopes for achieving a Guinness World Record for most chocolate bars eaten isn’t even close, and no one in my family takes my writing seriously.

One ruthless punch that changed Declan's life forever. Alexis is granted a dream of a new normal whether she wants it or not, when unbeknownst to her, she's named the sole executor of her best friend's Last Will.

When Julia's carefully constructed life takes a sudden, demoralizing nose dive, she flees to the small town of her youth. She finds the perfect landing place—a furnished cottage on a private estate in the Blue Ridge foothills. Then she learns the owner-resident is Jackson Tate—her high school crush and, until recently, the source of her greatest humiliation.

Kennedy Takahashi and Connor Murphy were inseparable until Kennedy left Connor without explanation. Five years later, they cross paths unexpectedly. Connor has never stopped loving her, and the truth is she still loves him. What's it going to take for him to uncover the reason why she left him?

The world beneath the waves is in chaos. Without Poseidon to hold it at bay, Dark Water is slowly spreading, devouring anything it touches. Even the mighty King Manta has given up hope. But his daughter hasn't. Rhea, the siren princess of Aquarius, will do anything to save her world. Even if it means hunting down the mythical Medusa—and partnering with a notorious pirate captain. Blackheart Kai has more dangerous secrets than Rhea can fathom. He'd rather kill her than help her save her people. She knows he can't be trusted. But knowing that doesn't stop her from needing him...or wanting him.
