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.

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.

He gave me everything I wanted, right down to the sparkly pearl necklace and the wild, crazy ride on his North Pole, but this sexy Santa has a dark secret. For years, he's been watching me while I sleep, and he knows how much I can take. I always thought Santa was about spreading joy at Christmas, but I couldn't have been more wrong. This filthy Santa prefers to spread something else, and as long as he's willing to give, I'm more than happy to take.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

Elise always knew she would run into her ex-husband again, eventually. What she didn't expect was that he would show up in the community she'd built for herself and reveal that the family she's been working for is the same family that disapproved of their marriage eight years ago and refused to meet her. Now he's back in town for his brother's wedding, the very same one she's catering.

I’ve always been religious, and any man who comes into my life needs to understand that I have a strong moral compass. One day I hope to settle down with a man who shares my values and desire for a family and a wholesome life. There is no room for anything less, no room for speed bumps or roadblocks. Then one man threw a wrench in my spinning tire. That man made me question my beliefs and what true faith really is. Ben Cooper—my very own sinner.

Still reeling from his family's lies, Zahir travels across the world to master his magic. With the threat of death looming over him, he must adapt to a life so unlike his own and work harder than he knew possible, all while reconciling with who he really is. Back home, Mari assumes her role as Queen of a clan she knows little about. Struggling with ineffective advisors, a devious sister, and complicated alliances, Mari must prove to herself, and her people, that she is worthy of her title.

Mari is grieving. As a rogue witch, she lives a vagabond life until she’s pulled to Pharos Hills, inheriting her cousin’s life. Niko has a reputation. A rogue werewolf; he’s sexy, charismatic and well known for hardly ever going to bed alone. Mason is a drifter. Arriving in Pharos Hills, the vampire comes to check on his friend and make amends for old wounds. Drawn to both men for different reasons, Mari wants to hide from the growing feelings she’s developing. Missing her cousin and adjusting to new responsibilities is overwhelming.

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.

It was just supposed to be a one-year internship in London. I wasn't supposed to meet Prince Charming. I wasn't supposed to fall in love. And I certainly wasn't supposed to get my heart broken.

Fire and Water, Life and Death. The four types of magic held in perfect balance by the magi who wield them. That harmony shattered when a sorcerer wielding two opposing magics laid waste to the four clans, driving them into isolation. Now, millennia later, leaders are trying to unite the clans once again. Mari, a Death Mage, is married off to a Fire Prince, Zahir, halfway across the world. Met with outrage and disarray, the pair must learn to navigate a marriage to a stranger and adjust to their sudden rise to King and Queen.

One mistake as a child was all it took for Arya’s life to become a nightmare. After having her seal skin taken from her, the King of the humans offered Arya a deal. If she killed the King of the fae he would grant her freedom and her skin. Unbeknownst to him, Arya had no intentions of killing the King.

I'm Wyatt Farely and that's what happened to me. My best friend Thomas accepted a scholarship to a fancy private academy several hours away. He was making new friends and flourishing. Then things started to take a dark turn. His new rich friends betrayed him and my confident, happy friend became paranoid and scared. He barely called or texted anymore. What's worse? Thomas thought someone was after him. I figured he was just stressed, but I should have known better.

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.
