A night of wine and witchcraft turns into a waking nightmare when Elara is torn from her world and thrown into the ruthless kingdom of Towerfall—where magick is power, and she's the prize. Auctioned to the highest bidder, she's claimed by Ronan, the King of Swords—a warrior with ice in his veins and vengeance in his heart. He doesn't believe in fate. He doesn't believe in love. But Elara isn't just another pawn in his deadly game—she's sharp and cutting, a woman who defies him at every turn.

I've never looked at Lyric as anything other than my wife's daughter. The deepest my attention and affections have ever run are that of any fatherly figure, but those neglected baser needs take one look too long, and my fate is suddenly sealed—especially after the "accidental" nude debacle. I figure ignoring her and staying as far away as possible will get my point across; we can't happen and I can't be attracted to her.

I couldn't protect the one person I swore to save. I failed her. Revenge was my mission, my reason to wake up. Getting recruited by Altman Hotels saved me. Until I ran into her: Denielle Keller. She represented the dark that had started it all. I avoided her for as long as I could. Now, we live under the same roof. And my hate for her is stronger than ever.

It was supposed to be harmless. One fake date with an off-limits football player I'd never date for real. Plot twist—Harry Westbrook is the exact opposite of harmless. My first mistake? Underestimating that boyish smile, those playful eyes, the charming words on those perfect lips. He claims to have a crush on me. But, as hot as he is, I'd bet he's scheduling booty calls like a dentist booking teeth cleanings. I'm Nadia Chester—in-house lawyer for the Paragons football team. Queen of logic and compartmentalizing. Resisting him should be easy.

Whoever said "keep your enemies close" never had to share a small, dark sound booth with her. Daria Stone is the infuriating host of "Choosing Yourself." The name is almost as ridiculous as the concept. Permanently single? Please. The woman's made a career out of rejecting everything I stand for.

I'm Karli Brighton, reigning Queen of Epic Screw-Ups. With twelve med school rejection letters burning a hole in my back pocket, I'm back in my quirky hometown for the summer. Grumpy and shame-faced, I'm not exactly in the mood to make new friends. Having a wild one-night stand with the charming pretty boy I meet at a local bar to feel better about myself? Probably not the smartest idea. But I take comfort in knowing that I'll never see the gorgeous stranger again. Until he strolls into my family home one hour later.

I have no business getting involved with Felix Brighton. I've seen the way he moves through our small town. With his playful smiles, hypnotic eyes, and easygoing charm, women are all over him with every step he takes. Meanwhile, I'm just sweet, quiet Daphne Beaumont. Just his younger sister's best friend. Just the girl he's barely ever noticed. Until I somehow end up in more trouble than I can handle and Felix makes it his duty to swoop in and save the day.

When I met him, I didn't realize who he was. I still didn't when I let him take me back to his hotel for the night. I never expected to see him again. Until I found him on my father's couch, revealing he and I are connected in more ways than simply a one-night stand. To make it worse, he was a Saint, part of the ruling mafia family that owned the city of Redhill. I should have stayed away at that point. I had a lot at risk and my own mess to deal with, but it wasn't that easy. Not when he kept showing up, and that one night turned to two, and then three.

Ex-Special Forces soldier Rhys Garrick was trained to expect the unexpected, but when he rescues a gorgeous woman from dangerous criminals he's hunting, nothing could've prepared him for the incredible night that followed. Nor the way she disappeared the next morning. It was for the best. Rhys wasn't about to trade the freedom of the open road and his duty to the Vigilantes for a woman. So, he buries himself in club business until his next assignment takes him by surprise: Merritt Manning.

King is a determined billionaire… posing as a professional cuddler to get close to me. He's the type of man who always gets what he wants, and right now, he wants me—the socially awkward, plus-size model with intimacy issues. I've never had anyone hold me, hug me–or even love me–and my therapist thinks a professional cuddler will help break down the walls I've built to protect my heart. I'm skeptical at best… But King is so good at holding me together that the line between professional and personal quickly blurs, igniting a passion I'm not prepared for.

At one time, Dominic Evans was my everything. That was before everything fell apart. My parents had warned me he wasn't the right kind of man for me and Dom proved them right. Now seventeen years later, I'm returning home. Running from my own mistakes in the form of an abusive, cheating fiancé. With my trail of bad luck, my car breaks down and Dom is the one who comes to my rescue. I hate having to rely on him, but I don't have much of a choice. Next thing I know Dominic sets up a work space for me in his garage; and finds me a job.

I was an alpha. A loving mate. A girl swept up in a cruel world. I escaped, but not without casualties. A determined force of nature, I’ve learned how to use my gifts. I’ve got an army of wolves willing to fight under my command. They call me their queen. My loved ones are in trouble, and it’s going to take everything I’ve got to bring them home. I’ve accepted my fate. Once a curse, now a leader. Once fear, now forever.

They whisper my name in fear—the Gray Prince, the bastard son of the king and his succubus courtesan. A prophecy claims I will sit on the ruined throne, but the last thing I need is the dead weight of a crown on my head. Nothing matters to me but Pyrah. My dragon shifter mate brings light to the otherwise dark gloom of my life. I would do anything to protect her. But another dragon stalks Pyrah, hungering to make her his own. Worse still, the queen's knights hunt us relentlessly—not to kill, but to capture. Whatever sinister plot the queen weaves, Pyrah is the missing thread.

After catching her fiancé in bed with someone else, Stella swore off love. But when her best friend vanishes, leaving behind only a cryptic tarot card, she's pulled through a portal into the ruthless realm of Towerfall—landing in the middle of a fight between two dangerously gorgeous warriors. Prince Valen Greymourn has two weeks to marry, or his parents will force him to take a bride. It's a problem, considering his heart already belongs to his best friend and captain of the guard, Marek Drayk.

I used to rule the racetrack. Now, I'm just a hothead on a losing streak. Desperate for a win, I've alienated everyone, burned every bridge, and run out of options. Except one. Lola Quinn: the brilliant, fiery engineer who could turn my luck around. Too bad she hates my guts. Five years ago, I walked away from her, leaving a trail of heartbreak and regret. Now, I'm back with an offer she can't refuse... if I can convince her to forget the past and take one last chance on me.

Inheriting my late father's publishing empire is all I've ever wanted. But there's a catch—I must marry a husband within the year to secure my claim. Enter Sterling Montgomery, a charming new employee offering the perfect solution: a marriage of convenience. But the more time I spend with him, the harder it is to remember this isn't real.

Rafael Aguado hopes to calm the waters between him and Cat, but that's hard to do when she'd rather see him boil alive. Maybe the water elemental could cool her off with time, but he has romantic competition. Rafael lost Cat to a handsome earth elemental years ago, and he refuses to let his rival win again. Even if it means kissing the hell out of the magical man to throw him off balance.
