Crystal Harper presents her latest romance novel.

For months, I've tried to stop loving her. Begged myself in the darkness of the night as I lay awake, to let her go. So badly, I've wanted to move on from the hurt inside and the love I still cling to, but I can't. Telling myself not to love her is like telling myself to stop breathing. Impossible. Unfathomable. But watching her prepare to marry another man is like a searing knife to the heart that keeps twisting. Beginning a new life in California seemed like the only option, but seeing her while I lie in my hospital bed, I can sense something is amiss.

Pushing Lucy Remington's buttons is my favorite pastime and has been since we were kids. Watching as her brilliant blue eyes darken in anger when I mockingly call her Princess—even though she is one—fills me with immense satisfaction. She's the last woman on Earth I would want to take as my wife, yet that's exactly what her grandfather—my King—asks of me.

I'm not like most women. I don't have fantasies of finding the perfect man and settling down to have two point five children. My job is my baby. My dream position is so close I can taste it, but the rug is pulled out from beneath me when I find out there's a catch: they want the role filled by someone who is married. Liam Remington is my best friend, Natalie's, brother-in-law with a hero complex. We've both been living with her for the past three years, helping to raise her four small children after she fled an abusive marriage.

I lost my orc. But he left me with something better. One year ago, Nevarth had to leave me. I never even got a chance to say goodbye. I thought I had lost him forever. Until I felt a kick in my belly. Now a part of him lives on in his son. When I look at his son, I feel that hope. And I feel sadness at having lost Nevarth. Until the day he returns.

He died trying to protect me. Or so I thought. On a hellish Earth I created my own slice of Heaven with Agrish . . . until it was burned to the ground. Along with my safety. For the last year, I've done nothing but run. Alone. Afraid. And with a broken heart. The Burning Sun orc clan was supposed to be my refuge. But then I see him. My giant orc. Rescued and living among them. And now it's my purgatory.

Her father murdered my uncle in front of me, starting a war between our families, and I learned from a young age to never trust a Paladino. But I never expected to be so captivated by the daughter of the very man I long to kill. The sight of her, dancing in another man's arms, ignites a fury so powerful it catches me off guard. My interest in her is dangerous, and the lines of my loyalty are blurring. I should hate her. I do hate her. At least, that's what I continue to tell myself.

After a heart-wrenching breakup, Grayson Cole was just what I needed. A stranger in a bar whose gorgeous eyes and sexy-as-sin lips helped me forget the sting of a lost relationship. Add in his charm, intelligence, and our shared love of books. How could I resist? We danced and kissed our way through an incredible night of passion. One I'd never forget. One I didn't want to end. The chemistry between us was too hot to put out, so we made plans. A phone number and hope were what I left Grayson with. Afterward, the worst thing possible happened.

Is it rational to hate my billionaire boss because he's too nice? Maybe not. However, it's definitely rational to apply to become a billionaire stranger's housewife so I can quit being a personal assistant. When—in a shocking turn of events—I encounter billionaire scarcity and learn I've signed up to become my boss's wife before Christmas, I backpedal so hard I'm liable to pull something. Shame, indeed my too-nice boss picks this moment to blackmail me.

I was lucky to find my soulmate. And cursed to have lost him so soon after . . . I thought Tarfu was my happy ending. Until he went missing in battle. At first I waited patiently. Then anxiously. Then finally, hopelessly. Three years have passed. Orc males in his clan begin to circle me. Looking to claim me. But if I know my mate, Tarfu will never stop till he comes back to me. He will always be searching for me. Always loving me. And when he comes through my door again, my face will break out in joy. And I'll present him a gift for finally making it back to us. Our son.

There are things Zara Faire wishes she never knew about her father. After returning to New Rome in the wake of her mother's funeral, an invitation to an elusive club introduces her to a sinister world of organized crime that she learns she belongs to by birthright. There, she witnesses an execution at the hands of the Cardinals and becomes the perfect pawn in a vicious, deadly game.

On a ruined world, I fell in love with a monster. And now he's back. Not that it matters. He is an orc warrior. I am a human woman. Amid a blasted Earth ruined by invasion, Yggy was always kind to me. His handsome face caused me to fall in love. Until one night, when I realized his love for me would lead to my death. Against all protests from my heart, I had to leave Yggy. But my orc never stopped searching for me. He never gave up. He always loved me. But when he found me, he found someone else that shocked him to his core. Our child.

Roxie Rowe will never be a victim. Not again, anyway. She totally could've handled the handsy Orc who grabbed her outside the Monster Match event. But she didn't have to because he showed up. Her hero was Riordan Merrick, a seven-foot-tall, red-skinned, horned demon from a hell dimension. But that's not the weird part. See, he insists she's his fated mate.

Birdie Walton's life is unexpected. When she finds out she is pregnant after a one-night stand at a college party, everything she had planned is ruined. This new revelation leaves her to decide if she has what it takes to be a mother, despite having never had one to look up to. Then, she meets Miles, the grumpy, borderline-alcoholic neighbor, and the two of them seem completely wrong for each other. But despite the fact they can't stand each other, they spend moment after moment sitting on the porch of their duplex, learning about each other.

Randomly bursting into flames and regenerating on a regular basis made Ash Howell feel like an outsider in a town full of monsters. Afraid of the damage he could do, the phoenix turned into a recluse . . . until Izzy Riley showed up in town.
