Mari is a famous star in her intergalactic troupe. As the headliner at the Comet Canyon Saloon, the last thing she expected to go wrong was being lassoed off stage by a chaps-wearing outlaw. Raider's name has been tarnished by his good-for-nothing brother. The only way to clear it is by kidnapping the precious burlesque gem, Little Miss Mercury. After being stranded together during a desert storm, Mari and Raider discover that there's more between them than a hostage situation gone wrong…

I've never been kissed. Because I saved my first kiss for my best friend, Axel Stevens. And he gave his away to someone else like it meant nothing. I was hoping that reinventing myself over the summer would make him finally see me. But I'm just as invisible as ever. Doomed to never being kissed. Until a masked stranger pulls me into a dark closet and steals the kiss I'd been saving so long for someone else. Instead of pushing him off of me, I pull him closer. I've never felt so desired in my life. But then he walks away without even telling me his name.

I always thought Axel Stevens and I would live happily ever after. But he's never liked me back. His best friend, though? Jacob Miller has made his feelings for me very clear. He's the sweetest guy I know. His past is heartbreaking. And I want to make his future bright enough to make up for it. But one kiss changes everything. Maybe we were always just meant to be friends. He wants to fake date me so I can make Axel jealous. There's just one problem with that. My feelings for Jacob aren't fake. Every moment we spend together, I fall harder. And he doesn't.

I didn't believe I had a twin until I met Ashlee and saw myself in the eyes of her daughter. I was adopted. I understand why someone might seek out their biological parents, but I'm not her daughter's father. I shouldn't be the one caring for her after a car accident. This attraction between us is something I shouldn't act on. She's not mine. Her daughter isn't either. I've located the man Ashlee came looking for, but introducing her to him could endanger us all. Falling in love with the mother of my twin's child would be a mistake, but I can't stay away.

I thought I knew danger, but the Equinox Trials? They are vicious. Cruel. And they hide a secret that can change the very fabric of our world. A secret that the priests will kill to keep hidden. Between the perilous tests, rivals’ ambushes and the truths lurking in shadows, one thing becomes clear: love isn't just a feeling, it's our pack’s only hope of survival. But can love truly overcome the darkness awaiting us on the trial grounds… and in our pasts?

Forced to participate in seven tasks, each designated by one of the seven kings, my life has just become exponentially more complicated. First task? Travel to the Mermaid King with my mate and his sadistic brothers and kill a nameless, faceless, non-existent man. Easy.

Mariana isn’t the kind of woman I ever expected to have a chance with. Not when I’m a rough enforcer, someone who shouldn’t be within 10 feet of anyone as innocent as Mariana. But I can’t shake my need to have her, and when she looks at me with those big eyes, I can feel the heat behind them. She wants me just as badly.

Alone for the first time after being married for twelve years, I never expected four younger men to tempt me with a good time. When I saw them dancing — and stripping — at Club Red, they filled my imagination with all sorts of filthy thoughts. The next morning, they turned up in my backyard as the landscapers I’d hired sight unseen. I’m wildly attracted to the men and their hard, toned bodies, and soon, I find out they’re interested in me, too.

I never intended to actually send the email. I’m not crazy. It was just a way to vent. I actually did need the money way too much to go off on my boss. Only when I went into office the next day, there was a note on my desk. It read, “A million years is up. See me in my office.”

I had no idea the Reapers Rejects MC had agreed to take me under their wing. It turned out, the club promised my father they'd keep me safe in exchange for information, and my job offer was nothing more than them keeping their end of the deal. There I was, in a place I wasn't genuinely wanted.

To save the dragons, we must save each other. It was supposed to be simple. Expose the truth, save the dragons. That was before we knew the perverted source of the priests’ power. The savage lengths our enemies will go to keep it. Our foes don’t want us dead. They want us broken. Love is our bond. Our salvation. Our power. But will it be enough to keep us from shattering? The lives of all dragons are on the line.

We have less than three days to return to the capital with Jax, before my life is on the line. But with my condition worsening every day and my body growing weaker, we find ourselves out of time. The new plan? Find the cure in the mage kingdom, and pray that it works. New alliances are formed, old ones are broken, and Aaliyah is more determined than ever to capture me. I’ll fight for the life I want...or die trying. Let the grim reaper come for me.

After returning to the kings after completing the latest trial, my mates and I thought we might actually be able to take our next step in overthrowing them. Boy, were we wrong. Lupe has gone insane after he felt me die, Devlin is determined to seek revenge on Aaliyah who he deems responsible, and Ryland’s father is imprisoned for helping my people. To put the final nail in the coffin, I’m engaged to Axel—batshit crazy Axel with a penchant for sharp machetes.

I want a man who’s ready to settle down and make babies with me, but I can’t seem to stay away from the bad boys—especially when there are four of them! My four new bosses, Nathan, Ash, Derek, and Landon—each of them sexier than the last—have different ideas. Gorgeous and wildly successful, they're playboys who love to have a good time—no strings, just for kicks. How can I focus on finding a family man if I'm having meaningless fun with them?

As a cognitive psychologist, I evaluate high-power executives. Help bring bullies to their knees. So, when the board of directors for Mason Enterprises begs for my help with Eli Mason, I can’t say no. Eli Mason is exactly who I expect him to be. Wealthy, self-centered, powerful, and not the least bit inclined to cooperate. He is also gorgeous enough to make my head spin.

It was for a time. I was the Rebel Skull’s cherished and protected little MC princess. My childhood was storybook perfect. In my world, nothing bad existed. My days were spent on the back of my dad’s bike or playing in the woods with my grandfather. Together we battled bad guys and slayed dragons. And then tragedy struck. I didn’t know that there were bad guys in real life. Dangerous ones with no moral compass.
