One minute I'm working in a bookshop and the next minute a vampire decides to kill me. Enter the tall, dark, handsome stranger who’s been hanging around the store lately. He has a deal he says I can’t refuse. I can either a) die or b) become a vampire and Queen of the Wayward. Great choices there, hey? Obviously, I choose option b. So here I am, trying to get used to not only being undead, but to my new royal role where I'm in charge of the Home of Wayward Souls. Yep, any newly dead spirits that are wild, unhappy, and out to cause trouble. All mine.

I'm a glass half-full girl, but this last week has really tested my outlook on life. First of all, aliens exist. Yeah, there's a doozy. Second of all, they steal humans from Earth, and they're not nice about it. Like at all. Anger issues abound in other galaxies apparently. My situation worsens when I learn I'm the prize in some really effed-up alien gladiator games. I'm just going to admit it now—my glass is empty, and this doesn't look good for me.

I’ve been hiding away at home, focusing on work and not much else, certainly not myself. But my best friend’s about to tie the knot and forces a makeover on me. Suddenly, women are falling at my feet, including my worst nightmare, his sister, after too many drinks. Now, I can’t get her out of my mind. My dilemma? Reese is an ice queen.

Ivy and Maple have been best friends ever since they were born at exactly the same minute 12 years earlier. They're always on the look-out for a new adventure, but unfortunately Crowood Peak is officially the most boring town in the world. Or at least it was until children start to mysteriously disappear and, even stranger, none of the grown-ups seem to have noticed. It's up to the Double Trouble Society to work out what's going on. All the evidence points to the old mansion next door with strange green lights in the windows and a new owner who looks suspiciously like a witch!

When her fiancé's father takes advantage of her, and she doesn't know who to trust... So she seeks out her old childhood friend, who's gone on to become the most feared criminal in London. Nervous, she knocks on the door. And when he towers over her, caging her in against the doorframe, she trembles. But then his dark gaze rakes over her, and heat flares in his eyes. "Who did this to you?"

This place absolutely sucks, and I've been in some pretty terrible places. I would have run myself through with one of my captor's blades long ago if it wasn't for this innocent creature who's dependent on me. I won't let her down. I can't. But I'm only a human on a planet full of monsters. Until I meet the most deadly monster of them all. He's scarred and wears an emotionless mask, but I can see the simmering rage and revenge underneath it all. I also see a soul needs me as much as I need him.

The only way I've been surviving through the chronic pain of my mutation is the drug, Kixx. I hate what the addiction has done to me, but what I resent the most is that I've had to barter with a lowlife Rogastix for my supply. One day, he shows off his new property-a human female. He makes me a deal to protect her until he can exchange her for a healthy supply of Kixx of which I'll get a lion's share.

I had the life most guys only dreamed about: The house, the parties, the girls... until one girl showed up and ruined it all. She doesn’t belong here. Not in the bedroom across the hall. Not in my house. Not in my town. And certainly not in my life. It wasn’t really her fault...or mine. We were caught up in the sins of our parents. She thinks she’s strong, but she doesn’t have a clue as to what I’m capable of. My name is Savage after all. I will break her.... But uncovering her secrets just might destroy me.

They said that once upon a time, Cinderella resided with her monstrous stepmother, ugly stepsisters, and led a life of cruel drudgery. That is, until one day, a fairy godmother helped her attend a ball, where she met a charming prince and lived happily ever after.

He turned up like a ghost in the night, determined to make me scream. But he's no ghost; he's as real as the feelings I try not to have. My illusive stepbrother has everyone fooled. Except me. One look into his dark eyes and I know he's pure evil. Haunting my house...and my darkest dreams, pursuing me to prove a point and determined to make his stay as excruciating as possible. I already know I’m going to get burned but I can’t help myself, like a moth, I'm drawn to his black flame.

Unemployed, she stuffs everything she owns into her compact sedan and takes off to the one place that has always felt like home: Kimbell, Texas.

The lies from Harvard Academy's Elite had fallen upon deaf ears. With the truth revealed, Sam was the only person I could turn to and trust. But a girl once so broken was only bent. I returned stronger than before. The de Lacharrieres could play their silly little games and spew their lies. One thing remained true, I was getting free of my father's clutches. Even if that meant having to side with the enemy. The four guys who broke my heart with little white lies would have to heal me with their ugly dark truths.

Craving her was wrong...losing her was a necessity. What we had was real, but it's over. Ancient history. She was under my skin, but I was under her dad's roof. He warned me to stay away, but I couldn't. We risked everything, and I lost it all, to protect us both. Now I'm empty, and it's all too clear what's missing. Or, rather, who. None of the women who warm my bed can ever fill the void inside my shattered heart.

She was my best friend. The person I told my deepest secrets to. But when my world came crashing down, it was all because of her family. From that moment, I realized I’d been wrong to trust her. Her big caring eyes and sweet face were nothing but an act as she’d watched on while I tried to keep my head above water. That was our past. Now, I’ve largely put Camila behind me and moved on with my life. Though it doesn’t explain why she’s always there: Taunting me, tempting me, showing me the life I could have been living.
