Thorne Point sunk its claws in me at a young age. I refused to let its harsh truths snuff out my light. When an attempt to kidnap me is stopped, I know they'll never give up. The city's seedy underbelly won't let me escape forever. My only choice is to run into the arms of monsters for safety. The Crows have a terrifying reputation, and Levi Astor lives up to it. But my protective monster will never be worse than the ones who buried their ugliness deep in me.

I spent my life pretending to be just a normal witch, on the run from the Black Guard. But I'm a seer. My ability is to see the future. So why don't I see a way out of this mess? Bane, the bounty hunter, Ambrose, the alpha shifter, and Christian, the king vampire, and I are trapped together in a dying prison. The warden is determined not just to make sure we never escape, but that we never see the light of day again—and he's ready to burn down the prison and kill everyone to make sure we never tell anyone about his corrupt dealings.

Two thousand years. That's how long my fated mates have been trapped in the bowels of hell. And I'm their only shot at freedom. I thought my magic was strong. I thought I was unstoppable. But that was before coming face-to-face with the sadistic demon who can predict my every move. How can I defeat him when he can see me coming? And how can I convince my mates to flee when they've been under his spell for so long? My only hope rests with my unpredictable magic and in outsmarting a demon hunter whose thirst for torture rivals his cunning.

For two thousand years the Vindictus, the council of demon witches, has let their grudge fester. They haven't forgotten the crimes of the Fangborn brothers or the witch the shifters stole from their coven. And now that she has returned to their dimension, they will stop at nothing to get their revenge. When Tori and Dragomir are captured, their powers bound, they must find another way to free themselves. But how can they defeat suffocating black magic or escape a tower surrounded by the flaming lake of fire?

After falling through hell's portal, Tori and Beniamin discover new magical powers while battling frightening demons in the hostile afterlife. But as more monsters close in on them, they must rely on the protection of the dark ones, ancient demons who for centuries have been harboring a festering grudge against the Amaroki wolves. As much as she fears the dark demons, Tori can't deny the call in her soul as if they'd always been her destined mates. How could she love such beasts, and how can they be capable of loving her when their hearts turned to ash centuries ago?

Ex-cop Maxwell Fear knows all too well what can happen to a witness of a violent crime—which is why he has no choice but to protect her. Sloane Robertson is no longer the woman he met at a dinner party, or the woman he kissed at the front door. She’s a client, a job, nothing more than a person who happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong damn time.

One year to accomplish a dream. One year to leave my mark in the world. One year to live my life pretending that I'm not irrecoverably and completely in love with a man I can never have. I wish he would go away. I wish he would stop looking at me like I'm his everything. I wish . . . I had more than a year.

Don't tell a soul, but I walked away from my NHL career for one reason: Josie Richards. Fifteen years younger, yet she owns me in ways no one could understand. She's my enemy on ice—a figure skating ice queen with a rebellious streak that makes more than my palm twitch. But after her ice skating accident, she's broken. Fear controls her now, and I'm done watching her drawn in it. I'm her new coach—on and off the ice—and I'll drag her back to the top if it's the last thing I do. What didn't I expect? Knocking her up. I thought raising my niece prepared me for fatherhood.

Claire Casey has reached her breaking point. For years, she’s juggled it all: kids, husband, career, and a never-ending list of responsibilities. But when the man who’s supposed to be her partner—who promised he wouldn’t let his phone die and would pick her up from the airport—completely forgets about her, Claire snaps. It’s the final straw. Claire is done. And so are they. Sort of… maybe. (It’s not easy saying goodbye to sixteen years of marriage, okay!) Still, Claire’s determined to reclaim her life. She’s tired of being the overworked, worn-out mom in her forties.

Maverick Quinn has never played the hero. After losing everything that once mattered, he's content to be the bad guy—gruff, guarded, and always in control. But when Stella Lane bets herself in a reckless poker game, Maverick can't walk away. He wins her—and then leaves her untouched. It's...

My name is Easton Donovan, and I massively screwed up. I should've given her the world. Should've been everything she deserved. Instead, I broke her like every promise I've ever made. The darkness tells me to let her go. Memories of my past keep me from letting her in. Someone should tell her that loving me is a losing game. Just being around her is a high I've never known. If she knows what's good for her, she'll cut me off. Given the chance, I'll ruin her the way I've done to others. But with the bomb she just dropped, she's here to stay.

My name is Carter Trayland, and I really screwed up. I should've ended things before they began. Instead, I wound up in a twisted love triangle, one that I never wanted to be a part of. The wrong choice sent my life into a whirlwind. A woman I forced myself to love is dead. My best friend was nearly blamed for her murder. And the one I've always wanted now wants revenge. Her favorite person is gone, and she thinks it's my fault. I'm not about to correct her, either. Not when the reality is so much worse.

Love and happily ever after? It's not for me. I'm much happier keeping everyone at arm's length, focusing on my government cybersecurity work. Then, I push things a little too far and hack my way into trouble. When I need to lay low and stay off the radar for a bit, what better place to do so than on Oakley Island with my sisters? With limited housing options, I reluctantly agree to stay on the yacht of the very annoying Benedict King, the billionaire who has been messing—flirting?—with me since we met. I did not agree, however, to a voyage out to sea.

Childhood was lazy summers, treehouse stargazing, and endless games of hide and seek at Pine Creek, the Christmas tree farm that’s been in Liam’s family for generations. When Liam moves away, he and Olive say goodbye the only way they know how—with a fumbling first kiss neither of them will ever forget.

Stephanie... As a bookie, I know more about money lines, pay sheets, and point spreads than any six men. I always thought I was in control until a terrible betrayal taught me otherwise. The price was my dignity, and I can't bear to make any more mistakes. Chase Gentry figured it would be easy to get to me. He thought I was like every other girl, just dying to spread wide for him. I knew it was a rotten gamble to get mixed up with a guy too smart and too hot for his own good.
