Well, I’ve let the cat out of the bag. Except the cat is three deadly Greek Titans bent on destroying the world. In fact, they’re more powerful than ever. And so far, I haven’t figured out how to defeat them. When the Titans tell me where their stronghold is located and demand that I come fight them, the pressure is on. I must prepare for the biggest battle of my life...one that I’m not sure I can win.

Finally, I’m getting control of my magic. Thank fates, because I really need it. The ancient Greek Titans have escaped their prison in Tartarus, and their dark magic is filling up the Earth, causing violence and despair to spread through humanity. We’re running out of time before the planet is thrown into deadly chaos.

Against all odds, I’ve won the chance to represent my academy at the Intermagic Games. Teams from all over the world will compete. But it’s not just the prize I’m after - I’m going undercover to stop two ancient evil monsters. They’ve infiltrated the games, and if they get their claws on the prize first, all hell will break loose. When I’m paired up with the irresistibly sexy gladiator Maximus, it will take all my skill to keep my eye on the goal. And I have to do it while keeping my dark magic under wraps.

My idea of a good time used to be a rom-com and pint of ice cream. But when a lethally sexy fae king kidnaps me, that changes. I’m forced to compete in a deadly competition to become his queen. Now, my idea of a good time is surviving the day. The Court of Starlight and Darkness is a gorgeous place, but I can’t stay. The Ice King's eyes burn with heat each time he looks at me, and I burn right back. The problem? He's dangerous. The king has no idea I’m human, and if he finds out, I’m dead. My only choice is to compete until I find a way to escape—and survive until then.

Ever since the Court of Flames banished me, I've managed to hide my true nature—Chosen One of the Fire Fae. Apparently, I'm destined to save us all. Truth is, I'm not that impressive. When I'm not hunting demons, I'm slinging drinks at Potions & Pastilles. At least, until the lethally sexy king of the Court of Ice finds me. He's been hunting me for years and wants to claim me as his fated mate. But it gets darker. He plans to sacrifice me to save his dying kingdom. One touch changes everything though, because I’m the only one who can warm him.

The sixth book in this action-packed, wildly original fantasy series by New York Times best-selling author Jasmine Walt. If Sunaya and Iannis thought there would be time to rest after returning from their last mission, they were sorely mistaken. The Minister sends them to face off with yet more dangerous enemies - this time in a lawless port in remote Garai, where pirates and slavers thrive, and everyone is fair game. To hide their undercover mission, Sunaya and Iannis travel to Garai as official guests to a state funeral. But Sunaya's luck runs out....

So here’s the deal—I’m a magical disaster. A witch from a family of witches, and the only one whose magic blows up in her face. Which is why I came up with my rules....

My mates and I got what we wanted — we found Rhys’s sister. We should be celebrating, but the danger is far from over. Our welcome into the Lost Pack was frosty at best, and tensions between old and new blood threaten to boil over. Crammed too close together, trapped by our fear, we’re hardly better off here than we were at Strand.

One sassy Demigoddess. Four hot Guardians. A Realm to rule. The balance between Winter and Summer is on a knife's edge, and only one person can save it. With four of her mother's strongest warriors to guard her, Wyn is thrown into a Realm full of unicorns, demons, and gods with agendas she can only dream of. Can the Winter Princess fulfil her destiny and prevent a war that could destroy everything? The Daughter of Winter series features four (yummy) protective men, a strong heroine, Celtic mythology, kilts, Scottish accents, ancient gods, very steamy scenes, a unicorn and even dragons.

Elle is thrilled to spend a month minding the beautiful Gillespie property. Over an hour's drive from the nearest town, the aging mansion is ideal for someone seeking solitude. But as she explores her new home, Elle makes a startling discovery: there's a graveyard nestled deep in the woods, containing a generation of the house's residents...all who died the same year.

Elle Dupree has her life all figured out: first a wedding, then her PhD, then swank faculty parties where she'll serve wine and cheese and introduce people to her husband the lawyer. But those plans disintegrate when she walks in on a vampire sucking the blood from her fiancé, Greg. Horrified, she screams and runs - not away from the vampire, but toward it, brandishing a wooden letter opener.

All magic has a price, and I'm paying it. My actions have attracted the kind of attention I've tried my whole life to avoid. Now, a dangerous vampire shows up at my house, uninvited, with an offer I can't refuse. He claims to have information on my mother, someone I've long believed to be dead. But his price for that information means agreeing to work with him to discover the reason behind the NWR's attack. I find myself getting drawn further and further into his games that risk all my secrets.

My world was a gray blur until I met them. My shifters. The men who rescued me from the lie I was living. For a brief moment, even in the midst of chaos, I found happiness. Then, Strand found me again. Now, my new life hangs in the balance. Doctor Shepherd isn’t done with his little experiment, and he wants me back. Alive. When Strand hunters rip me away from everything good I fought so hard for, something inside me snaps.

Most witches have a coven. Not me. For me, the protection a coven offers does not outweigh the risk of being discovered. I've worked odd jobs here and there peddling (mostly) legal potions I brew when I can. But when an opportunity to work for the vampires fell in my lap, I took it. I heal the people they feed on and don't ask too many questions. After less than six months working this gig, a girl turns up dead, drained of blood. Of course, I am the first person the police pay a visit to.

Well, I'm locked up in prison, and I've lost my magic. Not what I expected, to say the least. To make things worse, my husband locked me in here. "To have and to hold" doesn't necessarily apply when you're the king and queen of a fae court. A chance at freedom comes when our realm is attacked by an ancient enemy. Lore releases me to help defeat the evil that is devouring our kingdom, but it's going to be a dangerous battle. My only chance is to get my magic back, but that's easier said than done.

My coronation is near, but life is more dangerous than ever. King Lore and I share no trust, but that doesn't stop us from wanting each other. We're like an inferno waiting for a single match. But as we travel to the High Court of the Fae for our wedding, a stalker lurks in the shadows. Someone doesn't want me to be queen, and they're willing to kill me to keep me off the throne. My only chance is to trust Lore, but I have too many secrets that could get me killed.

I thought I could be a hero. That was before I helped destroy the world. Now, as I stand among the rubble of what used to be, I wonder how we're ever going to pick up the pieces. Every day is a struggle, and people are getting desperate. Creatures that never should have existed are picking away at the dwindling numbers of the human race. And the knowledge that could be our salvation lies with the senator who reigns supreme on the other half of the globe.

It's very hard to work with someone who tried to murder me. But when the mysterious senator reappears on the scene, I'm desperate enough to take whatever help I can get, even if it is from Cormac. Dealing with him is nothing compared to losing a few hundred lives and that's the best case scenario. Worst case? I lose them all.

Two days ago, Jo Davids was a waitress by night and a college kid by day, with the unnerving problem of things floating around her. One day ago, Jo's sexy boss, Cormac, noticed her for all the wrong reasons when she witnessed a man transform into a monster in the basement of his casino. Today, Cormac ordered her shot. If he's real lucky, she won't die. Because if she does, all hope is lost.
