When monsters stepped into the light to rule, most humans were forced into servitude. My family was one of many. I hold a secret inside me. One I don't dare share. Until I meet my new vampire master—who wears cold and angry like a second skin—and his shifter friends. While he can't compel me, I long to share every part of me with them. Only fear holds me back. I need the courage to move from within the darkness to the light. Maybe with the support of the three men, I can embrace my true self. If I bring change to humanity along the way, that will be an even bigger win.

Magic is a rare gift that only exists in the bloodlines of the rich, the royal, and the reputable. Dominai of Airedale, a poor hunter and forest guide, is barely one of those things. But after a moonlit encounter with the wizard Allisande, Dominai's life is changed forever. She reveals that Dominai has magic in his lineage, and provides him with a letter of introduction to the Crux, the center of magical study in the Kingdom of Straetham.

At 12, he was my best friend. At 16, he became my crush. And now, at 34, he’s the man I’m still pining after. Falling in love with Easton was never part of the plan. But now that I’ve done it, I can’t seem to stop. It doesn’t help that we’re living under the same roof. Or that Easton is so dang sweet I want to lick him from head to toe.

Moving in with a billionaire playboy is supposed to be some sort of Cinderella story, right? I’m supposed to be having the time of my life while living the dream. Wrong. When the bank took our home, it didn’t come as a surprise. The bomb was when mom told me we were moving out of Breakers Flats, away from my crew, and to a place that only existed in fairy tales—Bellevue Springs. Home of the insanely beautiful, rich, and famous.

A DeAngelis family war is brewing and these heathens are the vicious ringleaders, pulling the strings of their pawns for the greatest show of all—a show that will guarantee sweet, sweet victory.

Nothing about my return to Echoes Cove was what I expected, but I wasn’t prepared for the darkness that’s threatening to devour us all. A stalker, patient and cunning, hunting in the shadows. Powerful forces determined to control my every move and bend me to their will. And them. Lincoln, Maverick, Finley, and Easton. I’m not sure how I’ll survive them without losing myself, or my heart, along the way. And when the secrets circling us begin to break the surface I know it’s not just about losing who I am or losing them.

On the surface, Mateo Duran and Natalia Russo are the perfect All-American pair. He's a handsome business-owning Army veteran from the Bronx. She's a quirky bank teller at their local branch in Pompano Beach. They own a modest home, pay their taxes, wave at their neighbors, and the happiest day of their lives was their engagement last Christmas. But after normal business hours, fans and paying subscribers log on to watch them as a prolific, top-earning, sex-cam couple climbing the ladder of the adult film industry with every frisky fulfilled request.

Being out and proud as a nonbinary person didn’t come easy, but I’ve finally found my place. I have an amazing work family at the cabaret bar where I perform, Chicago fits me better than my Texas hometown ever did, and I’m truly happy. Especially once Jameson walks into my life. Our new bartender accepts me effortlessly for who I am, and the man is more than easy on the eyes. In fact, the way he looks out for me is giving me all sorts of ideas, even though those cuddles were purely platonic. Weren’t they?

It wasn’t supposed to end like this. The guys’ enemy wasn’t supposed to gain the upper hand. But now Elliot, Rhett, and Oliver have been captured and separated by Ludo Holloway. If they make one wrong move, the consequences will be disastrous. The only thing they can do is comply with Holloway’s wishes and do their best to secretly find a way to escape. Wren barely managed to get away from Ludo’s men, and now she’s desperate to bring the guys back home. The problem is, she’s quickly realizing that she’s massively underprepared to save them.

Octavia Royal, the nation's princess. More like, Octavia Royal, my life is a big hot mess. My father’s death has me back in my hometown, and nothing is as I remember. Echoes Cove Prep is a place where dreams go to die. Where everyone wants to be a mean girl, no matter what they sacrifice, and the three boys who were once my saviors run the place. Only now they’re my worst nightmare. There’s something sinister writhing beneath the surface of Echoes Cove.

Marry him…or end up broke. It was an obvious choice for me. Marry me…or lose an entire lifetime’s work. The choice was pretty obvious for him too. Never in a million years did I think that I’d be flying to Vegas. Not to get drunk. Not for a bachelorette party. But to get fake married to the man every woman on the planet wants. He’s hot, he’s smart, he’s everything except for my real husband.

Magic is a rare gift, and with two masteries on his sleeve, Dominai finally feels like hes getting a grasp of it. With his confidence in his own abilities increasing every day, Dom feels ready to tackle his first official assignment. If Arlon would ever give him one, that is. But the Grandmaster is keeping his wizards close at hand, and not just because rumors about Olbrics personal life have started leaking out of the Cruxs walls and into the new Cairish ambassadors ears.

Bronc riding has always been my main focus. The plan was simple: work hard, go pro, and show the world what I was made of. It hasn't been easy, but I did it through dedication and a whole lot of determination. My dreams came true, my life more than fulfilled… Or so I thought. I never knew how much I ached for more until I stopped to help a stranger on the side of a one-lane road one chilly fall afternoon. He couldn't be more different than me, with his messy curls and the chipped black polish.

My past and present are on a collision course set on destruction. While truths have been revealed, nothing can fully prepare you for an evil that never sleeps. All Hell has broken loose, and the Devil is on our doorstep. But I'm ruthless to the core, a rebel till the end, and I'll protect what's mine till my last breath.

I came to Texas with a single goal: to find my bio-dad before the end of summer. Instead, I found Will, a spitfire of a man with sharp blue eyes and a swoon-worthy drawl. When he proposes adding benefits to our newfound friendship, I’m all in. The problem? I’m smitten. With not one, but two men. Because Will has a friend that makes me smile like no other. My time in Plum Valley is coming to an end, but if I’m not careful, I’ll be leaving my heart behind when I go.

I have witnessed the darkest parts of this world and endured countless struggles in a life riddled with sin. I walk among the demons that haunt our town, all in the name of survival. Being an Ice Reaper was not a choice but the only way to outlast my fate. Until karma blew through the front door, and I was claimed by the enemy. As the remnants of my former life fade away, I'll do whatever it takes to keep my secret hidden, using the only thing I have at my disposal… my body.

Any defenses I had against these men were falling now that they knew the truth about my past—about the darkness that resided under my very skin. After a ritual gone wrong, I find myself even more connected to them than before and embracing the intensity of what was growing between us and the strength it provided me. Something I was going to need because the academy was becoming a very dangerous place.

When my life was ripped away from me, I found them. Silas, Gabriel, and Baron—my hearts, my family, my home. Together, we’re a dangerous family of assassins, but I’ve never been happier.

A sweet barista. Three revenge-bent hitmen. One chance encounter that changes everything. Rhett, Elliot, and Oliver only have one goal: taking down the man who ruined their lives ten years ago. There's little else they focus on except their Friday morning trip to a new coffee shop. There, they meet Wren, a barista questioning whether she should move on from her toxic boyfriend or not. She's kind, sassy, and is the queen of matching energies. Quickly, the guys realize how refreshing spending time with Wren is.

I met him on my last New Year's Eve in New York. Sparks flew. Madness ensued. And after the hottest night of my life, I ran out on him. Three years later, he and I come face-to-face again.
