I’ve got two missions: prove to Emerson that I’m not the jerk she thinks I am, and show her she’s safe with me—because someone’s targeting her, and I won’t let anyone hurt my mate.

I haven’t taken a vacation in years, and I’m excited to finally take a break and relax for a bit. Or I was. When I finally get to Twisted Oak though, I find out that the cabin I rented was partially damaged in a recent fire and is still in the process of being fixed. Now I’m stuck in this small town with nowhere to stay, and my dream vacation is turning into a nightmare.

No one rejects their fated mate. Right? As the Alpha of the Black River Pack, Killian has to be strong. He’s been the leader since his father died and now it’s time for him to think about finding his mate. When he pictures her in his head, she’s strong, maybe a wolf like him. Then he smells her and she’s nothing like he thought she would be. Sascha is a deer shifter. She’s always been the runt of any pack and has been cast aside more times than she can count.

I’m just supposed to be passing through town. I’m in a hurry to put some much-needed distance between me and my hometown, and I may have been speeding. So, I guess the sheriff has a good reason to pull me over. But he definitely doesn’t have a reason to arrest me.

I went to space looking for adventure, my job to protect the other women of the expedition. When gray aliens wake me from cryo in the middle of a market, it turns out I'm what's on sale. This sure isn't the fun I dreamed of!

I thought my nightmare was over. I was dead wrong. I was sure I did the right thing by trying to take the relic dagger from Nathan Black, but it turns out, I was walking right into his trap for my friend Evelyn. Now Nathan’s gone, but he used the dagger to mark my skin before Rowan defeated him as alpha. Even though I’m home safe, the wound won’t heal, and my life is unraveling.

Come meet the shifters of the North Star pack as they find their fated mates. These four Alpha’s are hot and wealthy just like the fairy tale characters that they’re based on! These guys just have a little more... bite.

Tilda Quickthatch gave up adventuring years ago and retired to small-town Briarhaven as the local tavern wench. But now the past she's worked so hard to keep hidden has come calling for her. Its messengers? A group of misfit teens who insist she train them to pick up her mantle... or else. But what starts as simple "roll" play soon turns deadly when their antics attract the attention of a fearsome necromancer who never gave up searching for Tilda. He swoops in with a sinister offer: exchange the powerful artifact she stole nearly a decade ago for her former partner's life.

Cassie was never able to experience the life that many take for granted, the freedom to dictate her own journey. No, her life had been spent sheltered, protected from an inevitable fate that would come for her regardless of what anyone could do. After her medical condition goes downhill, she is left with a few years of breath in her lungs and a choice: die alone, without ever experiencing what it truly means to feel alive and free; or to find that light, that missing puzzle piece, that feeling of not feeling so alone in her final days.

Birk and Heath have always been inseparable. Then Ivy moves to town. Now they’ve got bigger problems than graduating and finding their place in the pack. They need to figure out how to tell Ivy about shifters and wait until she comes of age so that they can see if she’s the fated mate to either of them. When Ivy and Heath go hiking one day and she falls and hurts herself, badly, he has a decision to make. Hope that she can survive the trip back to town, or bite her, forcing a mating but saving her life in the process.

Renting this cabin in Alaska was meant to be a break. I was supposed to be getting away from my stalker. Instead, it looks like he’s followed me here. When I wake up to a strange man standing over me, I’m afraid that my stalker has finally caught me. Instead, he tells me that he’s not my stalker. He’s my fated mate.

If someone told me I'd land in a fantasy world and meet my seven-foot husband by flinging myself into his arms so hard we end up horizontal, I'd have laughed it off as a joke. I'm tiny. But it turns out I'm a witch with hidden powers! I can move things with my mind! Instead of being upset I keep crashing into him, the gorgeous orc warrior is thrilled I'm so powerful.

Stuck slinging pizzas in the deadest of dead-end jobs, I make a wish. In a blink, I'm teetering on top of a standing stone in Faerie, where I have magical powers! And monsters fighting over me! Thank god, the orc wins. A fierce and deadly warrior, Rovann's nothing but gentle with me.

When I wake in a strange forest, surrounded by "monsters" and "magic," I'm sure it's all some reality-TV prank. My carnival job means I know a lot about all the ways people can be fooled. And the "orc" telling me we're goddess-matched and married has got to be the biggest hoax of all. Branikk's good looks and charming words are way too good to be true. But I keep making ludicrous things appear in ways Hollywood special effects can't match, a unicorn just spoke to me, and when I get an eyeful—a really big eyeful—of Branikk, he's green everywhere.

Rhodes is intense, magnetic, and convinced we’re meant to be. The more time I spend with him, the more I start to believe it, too. But I don’t belong in his world.

Think when, during a holiday, you said a simple phrase, and it worked because you just repeated it. The study of grammar and verb conjugations is overrated. Especially for beginners! The important thing you have to master in the Italian language is pronunciation. Good pronunciation is essential to be understood.
