Years ago, a fight for supremacy took place between the two most powerful families in New Orleans. The battle was set in the metaphoric octagon, with the spotlight blazing. The city sat in paralyzed fear, awaiting word of a victor. Abraham Rames versus Isaiah Boudreau. One man would emerge victorious and rule the city of sin. Neither understood that the devil was in the details. Neither lived to see the rising sun. I’m Everett Rames, son of Abraham, and I am the devil. I took my rightful place as king of New Orleans.

A second chace at a summer romance . . . Pine Lake Camp has always played a central role in Clara Millen’s life, first as a kid and then in her late teens as a counsellor. Now aged thirty, she and her closest friends return every August to help close up the camp for the season. And when...

Secrets and lies are being revealed. Loyalties are being tested, and betrayal cuts deep. My mother needs to be stopped, but at what cost? At the end, who will be left standing? And...who will fall?

I’m an intelligent and independent woman with a fantastic career. My personal life is perfect. No attachments or commitments. I know firsthand there is no such thing as “happily ever after” and I’m okay with that. I love everything about men—their broad shoulders, bulging biceps, and chiseled jawlines. I love when they come and especially when they go. I’m living my best life. At least I thought I was until the day a six foot, green eyed buffoon who wouldn’t take no for an answer knocked on my door needing a place to stay. Doug Truman is an unwanted entity that I’m forced to endure.

Kelley Pierce is my person. He has been since the 9th grade. He gets me like no one else does. My quirks. My love of pros/cons lists. My need to have everything under control. He accepts me just as I am, because he is the perfect...friend. My best friend. But Kelley is also totally gorgeous. And confident. And tempting.

Riggs Stanton is a thief. He’s also a liar, a jerk, and a playboy jock. Sure, I might have thought we had a connection. I might have thought he was worth breaking my “no dating” rule.

Hotshot playboy and devilishly handsome hockey winger Declan McAvoy is a big man on campus and I’m just the nerdy little sister of his teammate...or at least I was, until I let it slip I had never been kissed. With the NHL draft hanging over his head and my brother at his side—both on and off the ice—I’m afraid I’ll be stuck in the friend zone forever. The way I feel about Declan and his stormy gray eyes is anything but friendly.

Sergeant Tyson Wilkes is determined to protect his Rocky Mountain K-9 Unit—especially against an unknown assailant with a taste for explosives. Fortunately, Denver detective Skylar Morgan has the toughness and smarts to help Tyson and K-9 Echo find answers…even if she’s stepping into the crosshairs with them. But can they disarm this volatile killer before the next bomb goes off? Includes Explosive Revenge and Rescue Mission.

When it comes to being a shifter, only the strongest survive. Giselle has spent her life in the human foster care system. Wolfing out under the full moon has caused her to be rejected by more families than she's bothered to count. No one wants to adopt a freak! Never knowing love, acceptance, or what it means to belong to a pack, she's had to become an alpha. Lone wolves take care of themselves.

I've had a crush on my best friend for as long as I can remember. He's a hockey winger who has quite a reputation with the puck bunnies, and I'm a nerdy girl trying to survive my biochemistry degree as a single mom. If science has taught me anything, it's that facts don't lie. The truth is that Ryse and I are from two completely different worlds. He's headed for the pros, and I hypothesize I'll be left behind…again.

I don’t want to be someone’s dirty little secret. I know all too well what that feels like. Guarding my heart means staying out of pro football player Brock Williams’s bed and out of the spotlight. After all these years, he’s exactly like I remember: charming, determined, and used to getting what he wants. And what he wants now is me. The chemistry between us is undeniable. The guy I always saw as a player is now the one who makes my heart beat fast—the one who leaves dirty love notes on my pillow. Oh, yeah…he also happens to be my brother’s best friend.

Darcy Malone’s dreams of mission work are dashed on the eve of fulfilling them: The Guatemalan school she was going to teach at has closed, and she’s already quit her job and given up her apartment. Stuck in her worst-case scenario, Darcy accepts an unexpected offer to move in with Bryson Katsaros’ little sister, despite the years of distrust between her and Bryson, the lead singer in her best friend Cameron’s band. But as she meets those close to Bryson, Darcy quickly discovers there is more to him than just his bad-boy persona.

People think I’m a suave businessman, but they couldn’t be more wrong. The expensive suit is just covering the ugly scars of my past. I have no interest in love or making promises that I can’t keep. Until I find her in my hotel suite. She’s a broken mess, and everything in me wants to protect her. To make her mine. I’m falling for my employee, and she should be running far away from me.

They called me a freak. They called me a loser. They tormented me and made my life a living nightmare when all I had ever wanted was to be left alone. And five years ago, after a lifetime of being bullied and harassed, of enduring more pain and trauma than any man could handle, that's exactly what I set out to do. I left the only home I'd ever known to lock myself behind the cemetery gates and care for the only people who have ever given me the peace I craved—the dead.

Hooking up with an annoyingly handsome stranger on vacation isn't the best idea, but I could use a little bit of careless fun before my fresh start. We said no last names, no strings. With law school on the line, it's all I can offer. I just don't expect everything to feel so easy—or so right. Too bad I'll never see him again. Little did I know that hockey star Logan Russo is also attending Westfall U. Now I can't escape him… or his sexy silver eyes. He may not be a player… but he's still off-limits.

Ever since my accident, I've felt like damaged goods. I do my best to hide in plain sight until the one guy I want to notice me… doesn't. Westfall U hockey star Evan Hayworth is way out of my league. If I want him to see me as more than just his tutor, I'll need help igniting the spark. Lucky for me, his hockey teammate comes to my rescue and makes me an offer I can't refuse—I help him with science, and he will educate me in the bedroom. A fake relationship with the most unavailable guy on campus seems like the perfect solution. Noah is caring, loyal, and very good at pretending.

Mix a murderous cat with a goofy corgi. (Ignore any hissing. That definitely probably means the two ingredients are blending amazingly well.) Then add a landlocked cemetery allegedly peppered with gold-stuffed coffins. Whisk in a gravekeeper convinced a family curse forever dooms her to lose any man she loves. Marinate with a ridiculously charming special agent whose muscles and lopsided smile make her forget said curse. Toss in a pinch of mystery courtesy of an old, coded treasure map and crank up the heat. Broil, baby!

Emery Quinn finds herself at a crossroads between her career and complex family dynamics. Struggling to connect with her blended family and ready for a fresh start, Emery accepts the position of editor-in-chief at the Sea Blue Beach Gazette. Upon her return to the Sands Motor Motel, she is flooded with bittersweet memories of her late mother and past regrets from a long-ago summer.

For the first time, things are just right for cemetery owner Jane Ladling. Her cat only kind of hates her sort-of boyfriend, Special Agent Conrad Ryan, and she isn't flat broke. When she's asked to host a murder mystery fundraiser for the people of Aurelian Hills, Georgia, she's totally on board. Champagne, intrigue, and community? Yes, please. Then game night happens, and a fake murder turns into a real one, leaving her mentor and knitting buddy Fiona at the top of the suspect list, with her best pal Beau a close second. Oops?

Jesse Hernandez has infiltrated my life, and if I’m not careful, we will all be in tatters when he leaves.
