"Fated love means nothing when we can avoid extinction. One tiny sacrifice will appease the shadows. It's a shame, really. You've always been my pretty little monster." Those were the last words I heard from my Alpha, my fated mate, before his Beta tossed me off the cliff into a land of no return: Demon Valley, the place where no human or wolf shifter survives. Legends claim there's an escape from the shadowy, demon-infested haven, but no one has ever returned to confirm the truth. Except me.

Brantley Walker and Reese Tavoularis are plunging headfirst into the satisfying chaos of married life. Although their preference would be to sit on a beach enjoying umbrella drinks for a week, the honeymoon will have to wait. With Jessica James treating her hospital stay like an all-inclusive spa getaway—complete with bed rest and boredom—Brantley, Reese, Baz, and the rest of the team are bracing themselves for the inevitable twists and turns ahead. Meanwhile, Atticus James shares not only the same last name with JJ but also the irritation that comes with monotony.

From the first time I meet Leo Montgomery, I know I'm in trouble. His dark, heated gaze skittering down my body sets my skin on fire.

But then, he hires me to babysit his adorable little troublemaker after school, and now, my maternal instincts are working overtime.

I only wanted one kiss. One kiss, under the dark of night, in a city where no one knew us. One kiss fueled by my hormones and alcohol and the blinding grief over losing my mother. One kiss from the man I told myself was untouchable. But, it didn’t stop at one kiss. And now we are running full speed down a road with no intention of stopping. His touch disarms me. His kiss revives me. But our love could destroy me.

It’s not every day that someone tries to pin a murder on you and a random girl you just met. But Bram Crow isn’t your average everyday guy, either. One second he’s hiding evidence with the girl, and the next, he has to marry her so a police detective doesn’t get suspicious. Did he mention that he had a long-term girlfriend at the time? To say that things didn’t go as planned would be an understatement. To say that falling in love with his wife definitely wasn’t part of the plan, either.

I caught the attention of the most notorious man in the underworld. Konstantin wasn’t the type to be ignored. He commanded his criminal empire with an iron fist but he had secrets of his own. But I was Tatiana Nikolaev. I’d never bend to a man’s will or be used as a pawn. Not again. The moment I tempted fate and played with fire, life spiraled out of control. My only way of survival was to trust again.

My “interview” with bosshole supreme was anything but normal. He picked the worst day ever to chase me off my favorite park bench. I retaliated with a spray of cinnamon latte all over his Italian shoes. Then - for some unholy reason - Magnus Heron offered me a job.

Price Crow first saw Sabrina Proctor in the middle of a hurricane. She’d been sitting next to her dead best friend, who’d passed away on the beach, with no way to get her back home, thanks to the world’s worst luck and one hell of a storm. So Price does what any decent person would do: He carries Sabrina’s dead best friend to their beach house and doesn’t leave her side until he’s forced to. He had every intention of bridging that gap, of checking up on her and making sure she was okay, but life is funny and has a way of making a mockery of the best-laid plans.

My biggest rival is the father of my child. He just doesn’t know it yet. Sleeping with my family’s enemy wasn’t planned. Oops. Too late. It was a one-night stand in Costa Rica, and names were the last thing we wanted to exchange. What can I say? The man was hot as sin. Blue-sky eyes. Broad, athletic shoulders. A smile that just about did me in. I came home with more than his cowboy hat as a souvenir. Four years later, that sweet memento calls me Mommy. I’m a busy single mom helping to run the Dover empire.

Alexei Nikolaev. Blessed with the face of Adonis. Cursed with eyes colder than the arctic, and a past he can’t escape. His history is as tragic as a Dostoyevsky tale. He’s been on the FBI’s radar for years, but has managed to always stay a step ahead and just out of their grasp.

Zoya NofiKova made one fatal mistake—she took an Ivanov. Now my cousin is missing, his pregnant wife left for dead in the wreckage of a brutal car crash. The guilt is a noose around my neck, tightening with every second he's gone. I was never fully Ivanov—half Russian, half Latin, never enough. But this time, I'll prove myself. I'll infiltrate Los Infidels. Find Pavel. And take the woman responsible.

Welcome to Peachwood Falls, a small town with blue-collar heroes and the heroines who bring them to their knees. In this collection, you will find Tempt and Truly.

My trip to Mexico for my cousin's wedding was only supposed to be a few days of obligation and oceanside. I wasn't expecting Luke. Wasn't expecting the hot hockey player, with the smirks and the tattoos, who kept bumping into me. And I certainly wasn't expecting to spend a night on the beach, under the stars, underneath him. It was magical, but I thought it would end there. Instead, we exchanged numbers and stayed in touch. So when Luke invited me to watch him play in Vegas, I went. And it was great. Until we woke up the next morning and found the wedding certificate in my pocket.
