I’ve got debt—yeah, I know, so does everyone else on Planet Earth. But the bills I’m paying keep my dad and my grandma alive. So it’s pretty messed-up for Timofey Viktorov to use them as a threat to keep me under control.

Elio Rossi is a dream on paper. He's rich, handsome, and head of his family's multi-billion-dollar business. He's also a ruthless Mafia Don and my older brother's best friend. But even that isn't a huge issue to me. No, Elio is my nightmare because he used to be my dream man. We've been betrothed since childhood. But the night of our engagement years ago, our parents died in a tragic accident. One that I'm sure Elio's family planned.

Daphne Summers, ex-figure-skater and incurable romantic, has been obsessed with early 2000s romcoms her entire life—basically the same amount of time she's been in love with her best friend's older brother. But when he breaks her heart in high school and moves away for college without a word, she swears him off for good. Four years later, a month before their sophomore year, Daphne and her best friend transferred universities, moving into the Summers' lake cabin, ready for a new adventure.

Edie Carrigan didn't plan to "get herself" pregnant, much less end up in a home for unwed mothers. In 1950s North Carolina, illegitimate pregnancy is kept secret, wayward women require psychiatric cures, and adoption is always the best solution.

Twenty-five years later, Luce is a successful lawyer, and her daughter Meera now faces the same decision Edie once did.

The moment I tasted her, I knew one thing—she was mine. I stole her from her wedding and put a ring on her hand. But there's an ache I can't ignore—I might never have her heart. Vivienne Cole is my enemy's daughter. My perfect revenge. And now… my wife. I planned to use her as my weapon to rip her father's world apart. But marrying Vivienne wasn't supposed to feel this good. Her fire tempts me. Her defiance dares me. Her laugh makes me forget I'm a monster. I should break her. Instead, I crave her. She calls me a beast. She's right. She hates me. She should.

As a warrior princess, Reyna Darragh has always preferred the blade to boring courtly politics. Swords are fun. Intrigue isn't. But with every kingdom in Tir Na Nog poised for battle, she fears this might be the war that ends them all. Torn from Lorcan's side, she seeks a way back to him, but hundreds of warships stand in her way, as does her cruel deal with Seelie. They can never be together, not while her world-shattering power storms through her veins.

Gerda Jones is no average bridge troll. Sure, she can create riddles like the best of them, but she has skills up her sleeve that no one would expect . . . and a backstory that no one would believe.

All of that changes when Gerda catches the eye of Duke Julian von Slyke at his sister's wedding. The tall, dark, and handsome half-elf is making her let down her guard—and inviting a royal heap of trouble into her life.

She's ready to take revenge.

Keep your friends close and your enemies closer… Bethany Aodhán is not only a reluctant relic hunter for Deva’s Fae Council, but also a major “chess piece” in the latest round of godly games. When a fallen storm goddess tasks her with finding Bia’s Blade—a godly weapon capable of bringing anyone under the control of its wielder—she knows danger will once again stalk her. As if that was not enough to deal with, the council hands her a second mission—find the person who, with the help of another godly relic, broke into one of the most secure banks in all of England to steal a handful of document

Natalie’s best friend leaves the dance club with a handsome stranger and is found unconscious at a bus stop the next morning. What happened that night? Only Natalie’s friend knows—except she’s in the hospital, in a coma… When Natalie sees a handsome man on the cover of a financial magazine, she recognizes the “Man of the Year”—the stranger her friend left the club with.

Gia Rossi—off-limits, untamable, my enemy's precious little sister. When our rival families form an uneasy alliance, I become her bodyguard. Nothing new—I've been protecting her for years. In secret. The job is simple: protect her, watch her, never touch her. But one taste of Gia, and I stopped caring about the rules. I make her mine in every filthy, forbidden way that matters.

Meanwhile, the allied courts reject peace, convinced the curse will spread north. Haunted by heartbreaking bargains and terrifying prophecies, Reyna must finally face the truth about the godlike magic inside of her. She might be the only one with the power to shatter the curse and unite the courts once and for all. And if she fails, darkness could rip apart the very fabric of her world.

My pretty little Storm didn't want a knight in shining armor to save her from captivity. Which was good, because my reputation wasn't built on being prince-like to damsels in distress. No, it was built on being a psychotic menace who often played surgeon with my targets before I eliminated them. That was precisely what I did to the men who harmed Olivia Everett before I saved her from the Velvet Cage. I stalked them. I hunted them. And then I delivered their missing pieces to her on a silver platter. Piece by piece, I healed her brokenness with those souvenirs. But I had to do it quickly.

When Bethany Aodhán, resident—and reluctant—relic hunter for Deva's Fae Council, is assigned her next task, little does she realize just how many unwanted ghosts it will raise. The missing relic—Borrhás's Horn—enables the user to raise elements of winter against their enemies. It quickly becomes clear that the Horn is now in the hands of a powerful witch who has very specific targets in mind—everyone involved in the hunt for Agrona's Claws.

After being freed from her ordeal in Lylican, Amylia begins to heal as she forges a new life in Asteryn. But within its borders, bonds are being strained to the limit. Old wounds test the strength of those closest to each other. The eight territories of Labrynth are still dangerously divided, human distrust of Wytchlings cleaving them apart. After devastating attacks threaten to break tentative alliances, Asteryn makes a desperate attempt to unite them all.

Rion of Bronach is his country's most feared general. Though he works for his brother, the High Lord of Nadair, Alec, he yields to no one and trusts only his eldest sister, Saoirse.
