After the shitstorm in the streets of Baton Rouge, one thing has become startlingly clear: I’m not safe, and as long as I’m still breathing, I may never be. I could accept that if it didn’t also jeopardize the safety of my guys. I wish I could walk away...save them. I can’t. The bonds we’ve formed won’t be easily severed. Our lives are fused together now, for better or worse. Even unto death.

I’ve been captured. Don’t even get me started on how pissed off I am. My rage is raging. Azrael is the most powerful vampire I’ve ever encountered, and I hate knowing I can’t beat him. He’s brought me to this creepy cave because he thinks he can synthesize a cure for vampirism from my pure Vocari blood. I think he’s insane.
Doesn’t really matter, though. If I don’t do what Azrael wants, he says he’s going to hurt my guys. I can’t allow that. With no other option, I decide to be a good little Rose until I can find a way out of this mess.

When I spot Serena Lambert in danger, I don’t think twice—I jump in to help. It’s only after that I realize what I’ve done: I’ve played the knight in shining armor for the woman who probably hates my guts more than anyone else on the planet. Serena, the Blizzard’s PR director and the bane of my existence, looks just as shocked as I feel. Guess she thought she was finally rid of me. But bad pennies? We always turn up.

This Bratty Queen needs to be tamed... I’m the bad twin, the loud one, the one dancing on the tables while my critics condemn me. My family rarely knows where I am, much less what kind of trouble I’m starting, which has left me a lonely shell that I fill with my antics. My sister is my polar opposite in every way. Quiet and in the shadows—she has everyone convinced she’s the good twin, but I know better.

This omnibus contains the entire Nick & Holly series.

It doesn’t feel like the end. It feels like all of my problems are just beginning. There’s more happening in my town of Raven River than I knew. More lies. More secrets. More pain. Enemies seen and unseen are circling, and not even my guardian angels can protect me. There’s a war coming, and I’ll fight because this time my Angels...my Horsemen...my loves...are the ones who need saving.

At Angelview Academy, secrets, lies, and betrayal always win. How do I know? I’m the girl whose future just went up in flames. The outsider from the wrong side of the tracks. The mortal who didn’t bow to Angelview’s resident god, Saint Angelle. He said he’d own me, and he did - every inch, from my mind, to my body, to my soul. Saint even promised to break me. That’s where he screwed up. Because every god should know you can’t break a girl that’s already broken. A girl who’s been shaped by secrets, lies, and betrayal since the day she was born.

At Angelview Academy, Saint Angelle is god. Trust me, I should know. I’m the girl who's watched him manipulate and ruin and break - the "nobody" he’s done all those things and so much more to. Saint swears he had his reasons. He vows that he’s not the enemy. He even promises to tear down kingdoms to keep me safe. To possess me. To keep me. I think he’s wrong.

Now that she has information she doesn’t want, a missing coworker, and a scandal on the horizon, Maxie doesn’t think she can remain quiet. But being a whistleblower comes at a high price, and Maxie isn’t willing to risk her life.

I’ve been stalked by a guy for months who doesn’t under the words: Not Interested. But once he escalates his threat by putting my coworker in the hospital, I go on the offensive to give the creep a taste of his own medicine. As a self-proclaimed control freak, I refuse to wait for him to come after me.

I thought my biggest problem was being kicked off campus, but I'd rather trade my blazer for a skirt than an orange jumpsuit. There's a killer on campus, and they think it's me. I have my boys on my side, but this might be one fight we can't win. Someone is determined to bring us down, but with enemies on all sides, the suspects are endless, and I'm running out of time. I'm not the only one who came to Breakbattle with a plan.

I’ve seen the way he looks at me. The Captain. The unquestioned leader of this ship. A ship I wish to be free of. A man I want to be as far away from as my legs might carry me. The society he’s designed, the rules, the endless battle of wills. Yes, I’ve seen the way he looks at me. I’ve felt his fingertips brush my skin. Heard his laugh. Experienced his smile. One that’s only for me, and only in secret. And I know what he wants.

Once upon a time...there was a little girl who believed in fairy tales and happily ever afters. Hoping. Praying. Waiting...for her prince to come. Together they’d conquer the world. Slaying dragons, demons, and villains. Until her Prince Charming let his demons prevail. She cried and begged and prayed. She hated him. She loved him. She couldn’t save him. “I’m sorry.” “I love you.” Those were five words she despised more than anything. Her fairy tale had become her worst nightmare. She didn’t know how much more she could take. She didn’t know love could turn into hate.

I caught the bouquet at my best friend’s wedding. I wasn’t even dating anyone, so I was sure I wouldn’t be next. Until someone from the past came back. We’d promised if neither of us were married by the time we were 30, we’d marry each other.

I sent her away, humiliated her, made her think I wanted nothing from her. That was the biggest lie I'd ever told. Because what I wanted was everything from her. I was the villain. The bad guy. And she'd be mine.

Never make a deal with a Fae; you'll end up on your knees.... I didn't listen. I made a deal with the Fae prince who plagues Dark Falls with his sinful presence. Cole Desirys now thinks he owns me, his psycho best friend hates me, and I loathe myself for the foolish promise I made. From what I understand, breaking the terms of our agreement could have me killed, shunned, or turned into a slave of some kind—I’m still fuzzy on the details.

Cole had to flee to Faerie. His best friend Flynn—my bully and tormentor—holds all the answers. My family secrets are like a noose, slowly tightening around my neck.

There’s more behind my sister’s death than I knew. Secrets she was determined I never learn, and she’s not the only one. Someone is watching. They’re waiting for me to make my move, and bring me down for good. But how is a girl supposed to find one bad royal in a group of spoiled, twisted rich brats that spread bad on their strawberry crepes every morning for breakfast? I don’t know, but I definitely don’t do it by getting distracted by my hot professor who can’t stay away. Or the infuriating fiancé who keeps making me smile in between pissing me off.
