I'll make her my wife, even if it means making the ultimate sacrifice. I've loved Rosa Rossi for so long, it feels as natural as breathing. But our love is forbidden. Taboo. Fire. If we're discovered, my life is forfeit, and she'll be exiled forever. But I know...I see through every glance sent my way. I feel every pulse of her heart. Now her life is danger, and she's under my protection. My job is to keep her safe. The woman will obey me, or suffer the consequences.

I’ll do anything for the cookie. I’m used to playing the field. But specialty baker Tabitha wrapped me up in her the first time I tasted her...frosting. Suddenly I’m offering my services in any way I can. Need help babysitting your new puppy? Check. Bakery invaded by a rogue duck? Check. Missed dinner and want takeout? Check. Except that late at night after I’m done with patrol, we fall into bed. And onto the kitchen counter. And into the shower. Turns out that whole protect-and-serve thing apparently doesn’t extend to birth control.

When my brother was killed, his vampire mate Esme made me her thrall. She’s the second in charge of the Blackblood faction and is determined to make my life a living hell.

A few months ago, Ella was a ghost. D-E-D. Hades, the God of the Underworld, brought her back to life as a boon to his beloved wife, Cressy, but things kinda unraveled when Ella met Zeus. Saying it all went Pete Tong is just an understatement. Now, she's back on Earth in a body, but it isn't hers. She has a name too, and it isn't Ella. What happens when a soul takes over another's body? Well, it starts to look like demon possession.

The man in the magazine spread, the one dubbed the most eligible bachelor, is my ex-husband. Six months ago, Simon’s company was never more successful, just like our marriage was never emptier. I was a stay-at-home mom with a sugar daddy who had no time to pass the sugar or be a daddy. I asked for a divorce and he let me go, just like that. 

He's Miami's hottest new MVP. She's the woman who makes it all worthwhile. I brought us to Miami, my engagement ring on Roxie's finger, and nothing feels better than this woman by my side. She keeps me home, keeps me grounded, and having her with me on this new journey means everything. I'm well aware of what Roxie's given up to come to Miami with me: an entire other life, and any sacrifices I've made are none compared to that. This woman is made for me and I am for her, and if we can get through what we dealt with in college, I think we'll be golden here. 

From the moment I first saw Violet Price, she bewitched me with her violet eyes, Her bravery, Her drive for justice. I was obsessed. Jealous. I needed her all to myself. Mine. So I led her here. I made her think it was her choice. 

Romance is not in Wade Mason’s portfolio. This is tragic. It’s unfair that a man so maddeningly gorgeous - an architect with a deliciously squarish jaw, adorably dimpled chin, and the hottest black glasses that straddle the line between professional and provocative - rebukes all things love. I knew this well before I walked into his office. The man is a conundrum - a complicated steel wall of a puzzle. On the one hand, he brushes against me in the conference room with a broodiness that sets me on fire. 

When Wynter shows up on our property with a busted-up face looking for protection, you better believe that’s what she’ll get. It may have been three years since I’ve seen her, but I instantly feel the need to protect her. It consumes me, turning me into a monster that even the devil himself doesn’t want to f--k with. I know she’s here because she’s certain I’ll go to great lengths to protect her, but I’m going to show her that she’s going to want me for a hell of a lot more than just that.

Desperate, she leads a treacherous existence in underground clubs, selling her mystical blood to vampires to survive.

Who knew a fake holiday relationship could be so fun? Kayla Summers has had enough of her mother’s insistence that she find a man and get married. At 33, she’s a successful attorney and has a fantastic life. Knowing her mother will grill her constantly over the upcoming holidays about her single existence, she dreads the visits home. Carter Manheim is a self-proclaimed bachelor, dead set on seducing every beautiful woman in Manhattan. And why not? His parents’ disastrous marriage and divorce proved that lifelong commitments just aren’t viable.

I was only seven the first time Grady Bowen whispered those words to me. Cloaked by the black sky under a blanket of stars, it was easy to get lost. He didn't have any good memories of his own and needed to borrow mine. I would willingly give him anything. Being infatuated with that boy was a beautiful curse. What could have been special didn't get the chance to bloom. He'd never see me as more than his best friend's kid sister. That was a hard lesson to learn, but not the most difficult. 

Vivia Montavio is a traitor, and it’s my job to see to her punishment and interrogation.

Rule number one: Hands off my kid sister's best friend. Rule number two: See rule number one. Rule number three: Seriously, don’t even think about touching Luna. Luna is my new roommate. My very off-limits roommate. My gorgeous, feisty, painfully tempting roommate. I try to keep my distance. To ignore her soft laugh, her intense eyes, her sweet smile. And that groan, the one she makes over her morning coffee. All right, the sassy college student is driving me out of my mind.

She’s a human. Forbidden. My brother’s widow. But deep down, my wolf believes she's mine. Before my brother died, he made me swear to stand by his human mate and their son. It's been 10 years since his death, and I've done my best.

There are two types of secrets in life: the ones we choose to hide from others and those we choose to hide from ourselves. Secrets reveal themselves eventually. Hearts heal, but sometimes, they're forced to break... again.

Elise Regazza is beautiful. She’s also a liar. A schemer. A woman who betrayed The Family. And she owes her life for what she’s done. When she begs for mercy, I offer her a single choice: Marry me. Solidify my power in The Family. And she agrees. But make no mistake, little Elise will never be free. Now our vows will be her shackles. My rules will be her collar. And disloyalty will not be tolerated. The traitor will learn to honor and obey the man she hates…for better or for worse. Until death do us part.

Sager Reed, the strong and silent bassist of the rock band Tempest, is well acquainted with loss. The thoughtful artist’s own tattoos only hint at his turbulent youth. He buries his guilt about it deeply within his troubled heart. Melinda T. Belle, the daughter of a dysfunctional rock legend, as a rule avoids emotional entanglement. In fact, she has turned her back on nearly everyone and everything she has ever known. Now she is alone, trying desperately to find fulfillment in the one dream she has left, competitive skiing.

Inside the Octagon, I have no fear. I'm at home, in my element, inflicting pain onto men trained to hurt me just as badly. Making them submit, knocking them out, maiming them, because it's them or me. And I choose them.
