I've made my life a complete facade. It works for me. I'm successful and have a career I wouldn't trade for anything. One night threatens all of my carefully constructed walls. A single night with one of my players unlocks and unleashes a secret need in me to submit, and now I'm willing to put everything on the line to be his perfect submissive. Even at the cost of my career.

Recently freed from her obligations to hell, Lola is now a lone 1500-year-old Succubus wandering a dangerous world. Finding refuge among other immortals in what appears to be a human-deserted place, she's quick to realize that nothing is as it seems. Divines and Hellrisers might be getting along, but one Angel is out for her throat, seemingly not affected by her charms, while another immortal is hellbent on keeping her at his side. But everyone holds secrets. And Lola won't let them get close enough to unravel hers. Good thing she has a powerful Nephilim on her side...

Being a teenager is bullshit. You'd think being an heir in one of most powerful families in predator society would make it easier, but you'd be dead wrong. From the moment I was old enough, my bloodthirsty parents made sure I understood my job is to smile, nod, and look pretty in public. None of my choices are my own, including my friends, my future, and even my hairstyle. The only sliver of happiness I cling to is my boyfriend, Todd, and attending Apex Academy where I'll be free of the chains holding me down.

Apex Academy is where I'm supposed to die. My ex-BFFs turned on me, my fiancé tried to eat me, and my parents are gleefully waiting for someone to kill me so they can be rid of their dirty little secret. They think they can break me, but this bunny is tougher than she looks. Apex is a viper's nest of social climbers and bullies and I'm going to get back at the people who hurt me if the last thing I do. Enter five of the hottest professors to walk the planet and two wacky friends who all swear they are on my side—but can I trust them to keep me safe?

Keyes Dixon's life is challenging enough as a full patch member of the Disciples of Havoc Motorcycle Club but being a gay biker leaves him traveling down one tough road. With an abusive past and his vow to the club cementing his future, he doesn't believe in love and steers clear of commitment. But a midnight ride leads to a chance meeting with a sexy distraction that has him going down quicker than a Harley on ice.

I was raised in the dark, sharpened into a weapon, and sent into the mortal world to secure my coven's future. The Southern Kingdom holds secrets, and I will uncover them. But it holds my past—Cage, the man who slaughtered my mother, now stands as the King's most trusted mage. Stronger. Colder. Alive. She was supposed to be dead. A ghost from an old life. But Millicent walks these halls, her power coiled like a snake beneath her skin. She is everything I was warned about—ruthless, dangerous, a disciple of a monster.

In my sleepy hometown of Vail, Colorado, The Exodus unleash their raw desires every decade, and this year, I'm their pawn. Trained and turned into someone I don’t even recognize, I participate in this heinous event as if I’m one of them. Everything goes according to plan…until it doesn’t. When I’m taken hostage by a beautiful, broken captor wielding a hammer of vengeance, I can't help but feel drawn to her. I'm her karmic debt, trapped in a deadly game where survival means navigating desire and danger. She's my reckoning, and in this twisted ritual, I'm powerless to resist her.

I've spent a short lifetime learning that what people say they want is rarely what they actually want. What I hope for is a relationship where both of us feel comfortable together. I think I've finally found what I'm looking for in a mail-order bride. Then he shows up. While I'm surprised, it doesn't take long for me to understand that he's everything I need and all I've ever wanted. But then he's gone, and I'm not sure what to do.

I've always been a five-year plan kind of guy. I got through college with minimal distractions, maximum touchdowns, and zero relationships. Then I met Charlotte Benson, the woman who made me believe in wishes, and a strict set of rules was added to my routine.

On the run, I never expected Archer Sin—reclusive, arrogant, and tattooed—to be the doorstep I landed on. Even though he hates me too, Archer agreed to keep me safe from the man who left me broken and bruised. It should be easy to stay out of each other’s way when we’re complete opposites. He wants nothing to do with me and I want nothing to do with him, other than the haven he’s providing. Archer is always glued to his computers anyway, brown hair falling over his eyes as his inked fingers dance across the keyboards.

Victor promised me that I'd be one of the team. That I'll stand at his side, helping him mastermind my father's demise. I'll direct Saint to finding our enemies, and I'll tell Angelo when to pull the trigger. So why does it feel like they're humoring me? Why is every single victory only followed by another humiliation? I need to prove to them that I'm important to their operation. I need to prove that I'm not expendable.

I refuse to be a disposable pawn in my father's underworld dealings. If that means heading out in the middle of the night to get as far away as I can from my mafia family, so be it. I have everything planned, and it’s all going perfectly… right up until the point where they catch me.

Growing up as the daughter of one of England's most infamous mafia bosses, my life was always going to be a hot mess. Walking into Castle University, I'm not just another student—I'm the apex predator in a brutal game of power, betrayal, and dangerous lust. Everyone's a player in this savage game I was born into, and as a dark threat looms, tracking my every move, I get closer to four magnetic guys—my current housemates. They call themselves the Kings of Castle.

Despite owning a thriving business and maintaining an active social life, Wilder just can't shake the feeling of being lonely. One fateful evening changes everything when he acquires a strange vase . . . and aptly breaks it. The mess that came was to be expected. The seven foot purple man who came out of it? Yeah . . . not so much. Wishbringer Zephyr is clueless about how someone captured him, but he's grateful for his freedom. Just one problem: the person who broke his ceramic prison may be more irritating than the vase he was trapped in.

Nine years ago, I killed my brother, and I’ve been running from my past ever since. I find a home in Darkwood, finally safe from those who hunt me. But no matter what I do, the darkness keeps pulling me in. I allow my shadow magic to edge closer to the surface to feel something, anything. But no matter how much I want to embrace the power, I can’t. My magic thirsts for violence but I won’t let it kill again. It remains dormant... until he shows up.

I left Angelo, Saint, and Victor, only to land squarely in the hands of Emilio Pavone, a man who makes the three of them look like playful puppies. As much as I want to never see them again, I'll need their help if I want to avoid the wedding and free myself and my family. The only problem is I don't know if I can trust them. Angelo still manhandles me, Saint has made it clear he wants me unconscious—and Victor is playing with all of our lives.

I'm wanted. On the lam, running from the law and my mistakes. The house tucked into the trees seems safe—an excellent place to hide out. Once inside, I find something unexpected. A nurse that can do more than heal my wounds. But the longer I'm awake, the more reality starts to blur, and I can't tell what's real and what's not anymore. Plagued by ill fantasies and temptation, I try to keep her safe from me. It works until the lines between us also begin to blur.

Dev Devilman Fox, the best ink slinger in town, is known for his sharp wit, angry fists, and epically bad decisions. Becoming a lifelong patched member of the Disciples of Havoc MC at eighteen years old is probably the worst . . . but certainly not the only. When his hot new tenant catches his eye, Dev jumps in headfirst, ready to drive full throttle wherever that sexy road leads. That is until he finds himself on another hairpin turn, careening his life toward the closest brick wall.

“Forgive me.” Those were Professor Arnaud’s final words before I sliced through his neck. His was the first head I took, but it wouldn’t be the last.
