It starts out as a bet....A way to forget about my latest in a string of bad relationships and move on. I know it's a mistake. Especially when I have a terrible knack for picking the wrong men. Then I see him. The gorgeous man in the dark suit, drowning his sorrows in a glass of scotch is only supposed to be one night of fun. No strings. Zero expectations. No one gets hurt. And when I wake up alone the next morning, it appears I've gotten everything I was after. That is until I find the shiny gold cuff links he left behind. Oh, and discover that he's my new boss.

When Theodore visited the new animatronic strip club in town, he didn't expect the elves the facility was famous for to be actual flesh-and-blood elves. And he definitely didn't expect to find an inter-dimensional phone booth tucked away in the back room. But find them he did, and before he knew it he'd been sent to a strange and exotic land. Among The Ten Thousand Worlds, power is free for any with the will and talent to take it. Here, elves practice immortal cultivation, gathering power to increase their personal strength and pursue eternal life.

A man must repay his debts. Especially when he owes those debts to the princess of the realm. Luckily, she only asks that Theo stay in the palace as her guest. That should be an easy debt to pay, but trouble is afoot in the land and no number of royal dinners or palace balls will stop it.

Love is angry. Love is blind. Love is envious and loathful. And I loathed Leo Baudin. My new art professor. My enemy. I didn't move to Rhode Island for this. I came to forget the Troian Milanovic I'd left behind and start fresh where the damage and betrayal couldn't follow. But Professor Baudin wouldn't let me.

They say you never forget your first love, but I wish I could. Sebastian was the boy next door, the one who stole my heart, only to give it back bruised and broken. I've tried my best to move on, to erase him from my mind, but how can I do that when he is literally everywhere? There's no escape when your ex-boyfriend is on the cover of every magazine, when his music won't stop playing on the radio.

Rosaleigh caught my eyes from the beginning, but I didn't make my move. She was too young. Unfortunately, my best friend didn't have the same morals. It killed me, watching from a distance as he disrespected the woman who was always meant to be mine. When she finally discovers the truth about him, all bets are off. I'm done holding back. I make my move, ready to prove she has a real man now—one who will have her back and give her the life she deserves. I won't let anything stop me. She's not getting away again. I'm going to make her mine.

Theo's family is safe, but the Ten Thousand Worlds are still rife with both danger and opportunity. His old friends are missing, but now Theo's finally caught their trail. For the first time since coming to this strange world of elves and cultivation, Theo must leave the Hearthwood Forest and see the world beyond the trees.

The Hearthwood Clan now exists in more than name. Theo has crowned himself patriarch, and most of the tribal chiefs are now matriarchs at his side. But his troubles are not over. Not all the tribes have sworn their fealty, and Theo will need every elvish cultivator he can muster to oppose the ominous shadows that loom over the forest.

Theo's old friends are just out of reach, but it's past time he went looking for them. With the world safe and the Hearthwood Clan prospering more than ever, Theo finally has both the opportunity and the power to go looking for Sam and Dean, who went missing hundreds of years ago. There's much to do at home, but once his affairs are settled, Theo plans to chase their trail and figure out what happened to them so that he can bring them home.

Surrounded by enemies and against impossible odds. That's just another ordinary day for Theo, the Patriarch of the Hearthwood Clan. After returning from the World of Struggle and Strife with the title of chief, Theo must defend his home once more.

With enemies at the gates and trouble at home, a man must defend his clan armed only with his magical martial arts and a futuristic spaceship fortress. His enemies won't know what hit them. After finally defeating the Matriarch of the Crimson Dragon clan, Theo's left with a disunited group of tribes swearing loyalty to him in name only. And why should they? He's got no towering fortress. No chests of gold. No loyal army. Yet.

Theo has rallied a mighty horde at his back. As the orc Wargod said to him, the Patriarch of the Hearthwood Clan can't save Deania, but the Chief of the Blackgorge Tribe can. With an army at his back, Theo plans to do just that. The nations surrounding Deania have decided to attack. But while they're away, who's going to be protecting their homes? Theo plans to lead the orcs who would have invaded Deania into the lands of their enemies instead. In doing so, he hopes to drive this enemy army away before Countess Frostweaver finishes whatever she's planning back in the capital.

Far from the Hearthwood, his enemies plot against him. The Cult of the Unblinking Eye schemes. An arrogant Satyr King demands. A swarm of dragons hungers. And an evil twin has plans of his own. At home, the Hearthwood has never been better. With Sam and Dean at his side once again, Theo thinks his days of battle and struggle are behind him. Now's the time to build and raise his family to face the future. But his enemies are not dead, and not all his foes are conquered. And now with a family to protect, the stakes have never been higher.

Sassy Cassie is living happily with her strict, sexy cowboy, Chad Douglas, and his super smart cattle dog, Mickey, but as the months have passed, she has become less inclined to follow her cowboy's rules, and late one night things come to a head. Cassie has disappeared. The ranch flies into a tailspin, and it is Mickey who finally finds her. She has passed out in the barn after drinking too much. Chad realizes he must reinstate his authority and delivers a hot-handed spanking, but when the punishment is over and she curls into his loving lap, Cassie admits she's missed his discipline.

Cinnamon 'Cinn' Saunders thought he'd learnt to control his little ghost problem. That is, until the moment he brings back a malevolent spirit from the shadowrealm, and finds himself unjustly arrested for the murder of four people. After breaking free of foster care and a stint in juvie, all Cinn wanted to do was keep his head down and work his way up to become a professional chef. Now he's forced to make a choice: life in jail, or allow a stranger to whisk him away to a mysterious institute in Switzerland with the promise of learning how to control his supernatural abilities.

I shouldn't have been out in that storm. I knew it the second my feet hit the ground, and my flip-flops slid in the mud. Unfortunately, I had no idea what in the world I was doing. Not with my kids, or the three horses in my barn . . . and definitely not in the small country town we'd recently moved to. Being told all these facts, while being reluctantly rescued by my brand-new neighbor didn't help matters either.

Before Immortal Ascendants, worlds shatter like glass upon an anvil. Overhead, ancient golems awaken to cull the world of elves. To the east, the Cult of the Unblinking Eye plans the Hearthwood Clan's destruction. And beyond the bounds of time and space lurks greater threats than anyone could ever imagine. Chaos and ruin are all the awaits the World of Sanctuary and Serenity. Only one man can save it. And save it he must, for on that world lies everything he knows and loves.

Brandy Coleman's face is flaming red. As the owner of a barn for retired horses, she's had her share of mishaps, but nothing can compare to this deeply embarrassing moment. She is looking up at a stranger who has the dreamiest hazel eyes she's ever seen, and a six pack beneath his open shirt that is making her toes curl. The problem? Her hose burst and squirted water everywhere, leaving her hair a tangled mess and her clothes absolutely drenched.

Tulsa Rose has gone through hell and back. We have a complicated history, becoming her guardian after a family tragedy is only the tip of the iceberg. I sent her away. It was the right thing to do, even if she felt like I turned my back on her. The truth is, she was a temptation I couldn't have. She was way too young. Now she's home, ten years later. I want her more now than I ever did. Too bad she hates me. It doesn't matter. I'm not walking away from her again. She belongs to me, she always has. I'm staking my claim once and for all.

Every thirteen days, the Earth is ravaged by devastating electric red waves, erasing all human memories and resetting time itself. For Divinica, this relentless cycle is a suffocating prison. Trapped in an endless loop of forgotten lives, she awakens in the unsettling Hadamar Psychiatric Hospital in Germany, each time with no recollection of her identity or the meaning behind the thirteen enigmatic tattoos etched across her skin.
