I'm an omega used as scent bait for feral alphas fighting in underground deathmatches. I was told I'm an omega without a heat—a lie. The truth? My heats were medically suppressed, and now, I've been sold as a secret weapon in a brutal underground where feral alphas are pitted against each other in fights to the death. When the Omega Crimes Bureau raids the ring, my dream of having love with a real pack seems within reach, but freedom is never that simple.

One evening, two years’ worth of memories lost. Under the pretense of recovery, my father sends me to an elite boarding college, but soon, my memories start rushing back, and it’s obvious I’m not at Lakeside to heal. I’m here to hide. Navigating the scattered past to decipher the threat lurking in the shadows is hard while I’m kept in the dark and even harder when he steals my focus. Crude, arrogant, and threatening, he draws me in, and the closer I get, the less I understand. Waking up without memories is terrifying, but remembering the time I lost is infinitely worse.

I loved a boy once. I let him go to chase his dreams. But he doesn't know I kept a piece of him with me. Benji Mills took the opportunity and ran as far as he could from our small town. Now he's one of the star members of the Connecticut Comets hockey team. His speed and skill rule the ice, and his sharp-shooting skills have earned him a reputation as a sniper. No matter how hard I try, I can't forget about him.

I see dead people. While it might sound cool, I can assure you, it's not. The dead are even bigger assholes than the living. I learned at a young age to be invisible. Even breathing wrong could set my father off. The beatings became progressively worse as I got older, and I feared I wouldn't survive to see my eighteenth birthday. So I plotted my escape, and no one was more surprised that it worked than me!

He called me his "mystery girl" on stream. Live. In front of thousands of viewers. The wildest part? I didn't even know who he was. I was at my usual gaming café, grinding ranked matches in a popular MOBA game called NLA. But instead of celebrating my latest win, I was fuming. One of my teammates had spent the entire game spewing sexist insults at me, even though I carried the match and we won despite him.

I grew up with hockey in my blood. Becoming the new social media manager for the Chicago Blizzards was my dream job. I thought I knew everything about the game, including how to guard my heart against the infamous charms of hockey players. I was wrong. First, there's Lukas, the forward whose flirtations could melt the ice he plays on. Then there's Ryan, the defenseman whose stoic exterior hides depths of loyalty. Alex, the skills coach, challenges me to see beyond the game, while Slade, our team captain, reveals a vulnerability that calls to me in a way I never anticipated.

Being the MC President's daughter was never going to be an easy life. Not in general, not in love. Especially when the guy meant for you isn't yours to have. And that's just one of the many reasons why I'm going away. Back to my ancestral lands, where everything is simple and pure. Where I can do some good. And I'm not coming back.

My father is the president of one of the most notorious biker clubs and I'm expected to take over when he steps down. Especially after the whole club rode to avenge an attack on me. Trixie is not the kind of woman anyone wants to see by my side. But Trixie is also the only woman I ever loved. But she's left me more times than she's come back. And this time I'm not going after her.

Haunted by the mistakes he made while fighting for his country, Rand Duncan has become the CIA's go to man for tough jobs in an effort to atone for his sins. Late-night phone calls and covert meetings are the norm. Until she arrives and his past crashes into his present.

One man. Two names. Two personalities. One captivates, the other terrifies. Under the pretense of love, he used me, searching for secrets I didn't know I had. Cuddles, kisses, and whispered sweet nothings lulled me into a false sense of security that shattered with a single flashback. Running from the threat I now know he is, I fall straight into a nightmare… and the darkness reveals the truths. I’m not the center of Nash’s world. I’m a piece in Carter’s game.

Esania thought she and her people were escaping to the sanctuary planet of Torandor. Instead, she's ended up on a wild, uncharted nightmare called Khira, where the violet-skinned savages who guard them are just as poisonous as the deadly flora and fauna. And the pale-winged demon who's just dropped from above might be the most dangerous of them all.

I lost my soul a long time ago. Sold it to the Devil. But she's always been there. Summer. But I gave up on that dream a long time ago. Her father is Ice, one of the most senior members of Devil's Nightmare MC. But then we find ourselves stuck in a secluded cabin, just the two of us, forced to share one bed. And respect for her father will only get me so far when she's lying next to me nearly naked. I'm not thinking about tomorrow because I might not live past today. All I know is that I need her like I've never needed anything or anyone.

Zoey Richards, strong-willed and driven, settles on a geeky med student to share her apartment in an effort to protect her heart. But when her ex comes back into the picture, she enlists her roommate's help in a plot for revenge. All Zoey and Drew need to do is pretend to be a couple for one night. But one night can change everything. Don't break the "roomie code."

My gift has always felt more like a curse. Standing up and speaking the truth when nobody wants to hear it is terrifying. But the truth doesn't erase the horrors I've seen. It doesn't silence the whispers, or blind me to the fingers pointed my way. Doing the right thing never brought me anything but trouble. So finding myself held captive by a sexy-as-sin duo who loathe me on sight doesn't come as a shock. What does surprise me is how quickly my anger for them burns out, leaving a ferocious need in its place.

Jax and I have been together forever. Until he decided I'm better off without him. Then he just disappeared into the night and cut me off. I'm not better off, but I will get on with my life. I'm a singer and I'm going on my first tour. Without him. Even though the plan was always for the two of us to ride together. I'll have to go alone, because now he also landed himself in prison. I don't ever want to see him again. But only because I know one glance, one word, one touch will make me fall for him all over again. And when I visit him in prison, that's exactly what happens.

Noah White has done a lot of bad things for the CIA, but this time they've crossed the line. He knows the kill order he's been given is a set-up and the intended target is another covert agent. They've finally found a line Noah won't cross. Not with her. Lillian Matthews is living in the crosshairs and she knows it. While her friends are spread out over the globe gathering intelligence on a rogue covert agency, it's her job to keep them all connected. Only now she's the target. And her unlikely ally is the last man she'd expect.

Anderson Gratney does odd jobs that usually involve a gun and covert ops for the CIA. His latest assignment? Kidnap a CIA analyst in order to keep her safe. Easy. Except there's nothing simple about the beautiful, careful Carol Sark, who tempts him the more he learns about her. Coming face to face with a masked man in her home is the most terrifying experience of Carol's life—until he kidnaps her. He claims he's there to keep her safe, but she doesn't know who to trust. And until they can figure out who the threat is, she's forced to take him at his word.

Five years ago, my sister was abducted by an outlaw biker club. I have it narrowed down to only one club who could've done it—Devil's Nightmare MC. So when one of their members gets assigned community service at the foundation I run to help sex trafficking victims, I'm sure I'll finally get the justice I seek. But he's nothing like the monster I know he must be. But I will not fall for his gorgeous blue eyes and sweet words. Problem is, that might not be as easy as it sounds.
