Thorne declared war on me tonight when he took away the one thing I had left. But here’s where he got it wrong: I’m not about to crouch in the shadows ensuring he never sees me. If I do, it would only be so he doesn’t see me coming. The boy who made my emotions spike and swirl, crushed them in his hands. He thinks he’s weakened me with heartbreak. Arrogance will be his downfall. It only puts me in the perfect position to take away something that matters to him, too.

After returning to the kings after completing the latest trial, my mates and I thought we might actually be able to take our next step in overthrowing them. Boy, were we wrong. Lupe has gone insane after he felt me die, Devlin is determined to seek revenge on Aaliyah who he deems responsible, and Ryland’s father is imprisoned for helping my people. To put the final nail in the coffin, I’m engaged to Axel—batshit crazy Axel with a penchant for sharp machetes.

A bargain struck. A pact made. Now the dragon princes must forge me into a bride. Except dragons’ brides are molded from childhood—while Tavias’s pack has mere weeks to make me into a passable one. To teach me to fight. To behave. To mate.

For once, I thought being an orphaned slave would keep safe. Yet when the dragon princes come for their promised bride, Lady Cordelia, they take me too. Why? Because they are immortal assholes who like to hoard.

They call them the Beast Brothers. On the field, they’re brutes. Off the field, they’re huge and hard, and have a reputation for going at it like animals.

The greatest mistake Ember made was to step foot in my school. The instant the rumors started, I marked her as mine. It's only natural I became curious about the new girl. She took someone's position in this academy. Someone important to me. And now, she has to pay. The only way for her to survive is to find out the dirty little secrets I keep to myself. I watch the pleasure spark in her eyes as she searches. The desire to participate in my particular...tastes. If she's not careful, I might capitalize on that curiosity, and I'll squeeze her heart until it bleeds.

Mari is a famous star in her intergalactic troupe. As the headliner at the Comet Canyon Saloon, the last thing she expected to go wrong was being lassoed off stage by a chaps-wearing outlaw. Raider's name has been tarnished by his good-for-nothing brother. The only way to clear it is by kidnapping the precious burlesque gem, Little Miss Mercury. After being stranded together during a desert storm, Mari and Raider discover that there's more between them than a hostage situation gone wrong…

Tyler Redwood, you might be my brother’s best friend, but I find you to be insufferable, cocky, arrogant, immature, and totally annoying. You are not God’s gift to women and certainly not a gift to me. No, I don’t need you to wrap yourself in a bow. And even if you did, I would not be unwrapping it.

It had been one year, two months and seventeen days since my last date. So my best friend Abby decided to sign me up for a dating app. She guaranteed that she could get me the best date of my life within one week. I didn’t really want to do it, but I figured what did I have to lose? Turns out that I had.

To Marco (No I’m not going to add Polo), Last night was a mistake. A big mistake. Or rather should I say small? I don’t want to hurt your ego. I should have listened to your sister. You’re insufferable and rude and far too cocky. Don’t worry, I won’t be telling anyone what happened because as far as I’m concerned it never did. Please stop calling me. I do not need to come and collect my bra from you. Or the t-shirt you lent me to sleep in when I got cold. No, that one act doesn’t make you a gentleman. And no, I do not need to have your smell near me to fall asleep.

Hudson Higgins had fond memories of Boggy Creek from his childhood. So what better place to escape New York City for a few weeks to finish up a book that was nearing deadline than the small town in New Hampshire his parents visited nearly every summer. What he couldn’t have known was how his life would be turned upside down when he walked into Greer Larson’s bookstore his first day in town. 

When I’m not a test pilot flying for the US Air Force, I can be found risking my life in other ways. You see...all these life-risking adventures are not just a hobby for me, not just a way to pass the time. I need the adrenaline rush like I need my next breath. I’m addicted to it. It’s the only thing that allows me to bury my painful past - even if only for as long as it takes for me to come down from the high. All that matters is that I’m able to forget. And every heart-stopping moment of it was working...at least, until she appeared back in my life. 

I thought I knew danger, but the Equinox Trials? They are vicious. Cruel. And they hide a secret that can change the very fabric of our world. A secret that the priests will kill to keep hidden. Between the perilous tests, rivals’ ambushes and the truths lurking in shadows, one thing becomes clear: love isn't just a feeling, it's our pack’s only hope of survival. But can love truly overcome the darkness awaiting us on the trial grounds… and in our pasts?

Lea Lamb and Austin Wolf were young when they fell in love. They never imagined the future could hold anything other than together-forever. When Lea’s father dies in a fishing accident, she's crushed under the weight of her grief and catches a glimpse of another type of future, one she knows she's not strong enough to face. Austin is angry. For the past fifteen years, he's believed the woman he loved with every ounce of his soul left him without so much as a backwards glance. When Lea returns to their hometown, all of Austin's heartache bubbles to the surface and presents itself as rage.

Blasphemy...abomination...disgrace...I've heard these words my entire life, and never believed I would ever be allowed to find my other half. The Trials are your one shot every 25 years to find your forever. Here's the kicker: A female Nephilim isn't allowed to revel her wings till the trials. Do you know what it's like to have wings and not be allowed to fly or expose them? It absolutely sucks. When the moment finally arrives and I get my card, guess who ends up in my life? An Archangel, and Angel, a Nephilim that can't talk and the son of Death himself. 

Maddison Powers has been regretting the biggest mistake of her life when she walked away from the only man who has ever sparked something deep inside her. After comparing every guy she dates to Cale Blackwood, she finally gives up all hope of ever finding him.

It was only supposed to be for a few months, so where was the harm in going along with it? That is, until the fake engagement Landon and I came up with after a misunderstanding threw us both into the spotlight and threatened to destroy the lives we had both worked so hard for. Somewhere along the way, though, we realized everything had changed.

It was only meant to be a short trip - up to Chicago for two days and then back to Texas. At least, that was the plan until a massive snowstorm leaves me trapped in Chicago at a local hotel with no definite timeframe of when I can go back home. If that wasn’t a crazy enough turn of events - I wake up to a beautiful princess standing in my hotel room. She was definitely a sight to behold, but she’s not the least bit thrilled to see me - think Momma Bear finding Goldilocks lying in her bed type of annoyance.

When you’re young, anything is possible. Love is pure magic, and time seems to stand still. I remember those days like I remember seeing my first rainbow. When the sky was bleak, he painted it full of color. We came from different worlds. We had no business ever interacting. He was the wolf with glowing eyes and a cocky grin. I was the innocent sheep he wanted to eat up. I knew he was trouble, but then he went and saved my life. I was in the wrong place at the right time. Or so I thought. I didn’t realize that he was the leader of the pack. 

This collection of Beller Ties also includes Something So Beautiful and Now And Always, in which one thing is certain–love isn’t only blind, it’s dangerous.
