Brynn Ahearn is gorgeous, fun, and a camera operator for the NBA—more than your average sports nut—whose work takes her all over the country. In other words, she’s a walking male fantasy—or, at least, she would be if she weren’t so busy keeping the guys at bay. The fact is, with Brynn’s con man father fresh out of jail and back in her life, dating is just too risky. Haunted by memories of her past, she couldn’t ask any man to gamble with his life for love—even one as addictive as Ford Meyers.

What if you had a genie who wanted your every last desire to come true? What if you had two? And what if they were competing to see who could do a better job?

I should have noticed her before now, but I've been busy playing pro hockey. My best friend's little sister isn't so little anymore. I'm a single dad. She's a single mom, freshly back in town. We have responsibilities and a million reasons I shouldn't fall in love with her. I want to take care of her. I want to be the one to hold her. My life is hard on the road as a pro hockey player, on the ice and off. But I didn't make it this far, afraid to go after what I want. I'll do whatever it takes to show her how serious I can be.

Since the day I turned into a Venator, I had been doing everything on my own. From tracking monsters to setting traps, I could count on no one but myself. Luckily, things have changed. With the creation of the first Lodge in centuries, I now have recruits to follow in my footsteps, recruits who each have their own special class and abilities. Still, that doesn't mean that I can slack off. The Zinoss Jungle is far from a safe place. There are myriad other monsters roaming the surface and Mulrand, the terrifying Titan who's reigning over this particular region.

Darkness and bitterness have become my constant companions. Even though I'm angry, what else can I do but watch from the darkest corners of Screaming Woods while everyone goes on? I'm not expecting a light to appear. Caroline isn't all monster, but, as a child of our resident wolfman and his mate, she's not all human either. As much as I want to give into the pull to her, I've spent far too long existing within the shadows.

It all started when I was six years old. I was homeless. They were held prisoner. I saved them. Even though it put me in the system. They believed we built an unbreakable bond forged by trauma. These beautiful, damaged boys saw me differently than the rest of the world. As much as I wished I could feel the same. I couldn't. These boys—men—had too much anger. Too much hate.

A mysterious portal has opened up in town . . . and for once, Francie isn't the one responsible. It's just a run-of-the-mill portal to an alternate dimension, right? Nothing to worry about. Except when a rare book dealer turns up dead and Lizzie is the number one suspect. Despite an ironclad alibi, there's a hundred witnesses who swear they saw Lizzie at the scene of the crime. Just who—or what—is coming out of that portal? And can Francie stop it before it invites more of its friends to cross over?

Mara Vance never thought her useless psychology degree would lead to studying an actual monster. Subject X-13, aka "The Nightmare," is armed with sharp teeth, claws, and a constantly shifting form… yet Mara finds the huge shadow creature as intriguing as he is terrifying. As Mara studies him, she soon realizes that The Nightmare is far more intelligent than her shady superiors say he is. And every night, she indulges in twisted fantasies about the same monster. What happens in her dreams stays in her dreams—right?

In the blink of an eye, Mallory Thorne's world fell apart. She was fired from her job, found her boyfriend in bed with their neighbor, and a phone call from her estranged sister came next, telling her that their grandmother had been murdered.

When the fights become personal and physical, Logan and Jane decide to take matters into their own hands. They chain their daughter in the basement and abuse her in an attempt to rescue her from her bad behavior...while delving into their own deviance and depravity.

The Dread march to take the last strongholds of humankind and the defenders are too few. How can mankind stand in the face of such all-consuming power? The answer is simple. You stand as one. It doesn't matter if you're human, Guardian, Elite, or whatever Cidney is. The only way forward is together. And Taylor Hart is about to discover that her world is a lot larger than she once thought.

Meera has been called many things over the years, and for the most, they don't bother her. She'd rather be boring than draw attention to herself because she knows exactly how dangerous the wrong attention can be. But when a ghost from her past pops up to haunt her in her new life, Meera remembers what a powerful tool anger can be. Sensible. Reliable. Steady. Verner doesn't rock the boat, and he always tries to do right by everyone—especially the cautious but kind ex-hunter he's trying to befriend.

If there's one thing Verity will consistently do, it's spontaneously make terrible decisions. Sometimes they work out well—so far, smuggling her rescue cat into the shadow realm has been a great success—but more often than not, she ends up with a bigger mess to clean up than she started with.

Rose Campbell is determined to get her stuff from her cheating ex-fiance's apartment. There's just one problem. A sexy stranger is sleeping in her bed. Work boots and scruff so aren't her type—except when they're on furniture maker Owen Crowley, who is funny, kind, and speaks his mind.

Subject X-14, The Revenant—aka Victor—may be a collection of stitched-together corpses with a hunger for human flesh, yet Lucy soon finds herself grappling with an unexpected fondness for her patient. Despite her general fear of getting close to people, she wants to make him happy just as badly as she wants to cut him open.

What's a girl to do when she's stranded in paradise with a handsome, filthy rich orc? That's the dilemma realtor Shona Dove faces when a big green billionaire stomps into her life and demands she help him buy an island off the coast of Motham City. He's buffed, he's arrogant, and sexy as hell. And while Shona has never been attracted to orcs before, there's a first time for everything . . .

Falling head-first into the wrong woman's bed was not how Reed Bishop's night was supposed to go. Now a gorgeous, half-naked ballet dancer was threatening his manhood . . . with a book. He can't blame her. It wasn't how it seemed—he was just doing his job, tracking down his lead informant, who, unfortunately, took off, leaving him to figure out what to do with her friend. And that's how he got himself into this mess. Now she's sleeping in his bed while he tosses and turns on the couch. He swears he won't touch her like that . . . but he can't ignore his fantasies.

After surviving Nathaniel's violent plot, Áine is fiercely determined to travel to the Akashic Records and uncover the dark reality behind Lucius's unnatural rise to power. As she strives to fulfill her destiny to free the truth from its binds and restore the natural balance of the Universe, Lucius only grows more adamant that Áine is his—a gift from the heavens that ordained him King.

That doesn't mean Kelsey can neglect the home front though. Her putative liege, Suliel, has earned a telepathic link to her, allowing the dungeon to coordinate the development of the barony.
