Ariel Kimber is a 17-year-old girl who has recently discovered she is no ordinary girl. She's a witch, and she's got magic. Her world is turned upside down with this discovery and the recent death of a parent. She struggles to learn the way of the world of magic while mourning for her hideous mother and trying to find her place amongst her coven.

Another god joining my not-a-fan club. They say the third one's the charm...but not in this case. One wants to use me, one wants to kill me, and the new one wants me to do what every god in the nine realms failed to do...kill a god and put an end to Ragnarok. It's like they don't even know me at all. I fall down getting dressed. Thankfully, I have three-and-a-half boyfriends to help with the hard stuff and keep me safe. Especially when my arch nemesis, Sabine, escapes the school dungeon and is Hel bent on turning me into a Kaede-kabob.

Seven years. Seven years since those two pink lines changed everything. Seven years since Maron Korolev vanished without a trace. The palace that was my gilded prison? Empty. The man who made me scream his name? Gone. Or so I thought. Because lately, I've been seeing ghosts. A black car following me home. A shadow that looks too familiar. A silhouette that can't be real.

Mika's first semester at Morgana hasn't been going well. She nearly killed the boy she likes, and found out she has a rare specialty that will put her life at risk if anyone finds out what it is. Not only is her basic magic still blocked, but she managed to stumble across a sacrificial killing in the forest. Finding out who killed the student and why is the only way she can keep her friends safe. Ethan, Lucien, Audrey, and a surprising addition agree to help her find out the killer and what they're up to.

I accidentally sent my nudes to my boss. And a video too as I'm flicking my bean and um... "thinking" about him. And now, I'm pregnant with his baby. It's all my ex's fault. I was just desperately trying to revive our dying love life. So, I took some photos of myself, hit the wrong button, and the whole thing turned into a disaster. My ex broke up with me and my nudes ended up on my boss' computer. As for Maron Korolev, he's more than just my boss. He's tall, handsome, dark, and hard... in all the right places. And he's been my darkest fantasy ever since he hired me.

Want to know how to ruin a holiday? Have the guy you gave your virginity to and then dumped you to move to another country show up. Not kidding. It definitely puts a damper on the holiday festivities. Especially when your current boyfriends take an instant seething dislike to him. What's a girl to do? Get falling-down drunk, that's what. At least, there was plenty of pie. On a good note, ex-boyfriends are a much smaller problem to deal with than angry, hungry demons.

I was an exorcist, one of the best. When things got hot, I got out. I wasn’t fast enough, and I ended up with nothing but my parents’ old pizza parlor. Then my ex-best friend Darius wandered back into my life needing my skills. Innocent lives were in danger and I couldn’t say no. That dragged me deeper into the occult than I ever thought possible, and I can’t see a way back out. There’s upheaval in the demonic world and it’s spilling onto Earth and into my life; including stealing away my incubus boyfriend.

Corbin is one of those elusive raven shifters and the best assassin in his flock. The Council of Paranormals assigned him to watch a 19 year old witch with orders to kill if need be, but the last thing he expected was to fall for his mark. Now that he knows who she is, what she is...will he follow orders or stray from the path?

Amelia has issues after her ex-boyfriend ruined her life. It's taken years, but she's managed to pull her life together and now works as an editor at Ravens Publishing. Because of her past, she refuses to date, but the hottest guy she's ever seen is too charming and sweet to resist.

Covalent Technology's unveiling of the next generation of Mesh caused ripples felt worldwide. In one move, Alex and Sophie not only launched their latest money-making scheme but also their opening salvo in their war against the rogue AI that stands to destroy all those that might oppose it. Such a thing was always bound to attract attention. Months of careful moves had been taken to prepare, but when one stray phone call blows their cover, the response is immediate and lethal.

I was born in the seventh circle of Hell to two demons of noble lineage. Know what that means? Squat. My brimstone birth certificate and five bucks might get me a cup of coffee from Starbucks. The minute I was born, they handed me off to a wet nurse, sent me to earth, and left me to fend for myself. I suppose, I should thank them. They taught me at an early age that there is nothing in either world more important than self-sufficiency.

There are two things you should always remember about elves. One, they never miss. Two, they never give up. I thought I was safe when my familiar stopped the arrow from turning me into a kabob, but as I said, elves don't give up. Especially when they think you destroyed their city and killed their king in some grandiose quest for power. They didn't know me very well.

Jacob is always the one who eases tension with a quick joke. He's fourth in the Blue Mountain Pack and finds himself eating lunch at the Pack Bar and Grill almost everyday, thanks to the new waitress.... Sage just moved to La Grande from Los Angeles after deciding she needed a change. Hollywood just wasn't her. When her car broke down, she found herself in La Grande, Oregon, and for the first time in her life, she felt at home. It didn't hurt the guy who'd fixed her car was super hot.

As the daughter of an Inari Fox, celestial messenger to the gods, I should have been reverent, wise, and collected like my father. As the daughter of a kitsune queen, I should have been poised and delicate, with just a hint of playfulness to pay homage to the fox spirit within, just like my mother. Unfortunately, genetics can be unpredictable, and they ended up with a hot mess dipped in sarcasm, rolled in spunk, drizzled with sass, and sprinkled with pop-rocks.

Ariel Kimber isn't like most 17 year old girls. She's different because she's a witch with magic and it's rare for females to hold magic anymore. She's settling into her new place amongst her coven of guys while she's settling into her new home at the same time. The Council's appearance into their lives has put everyone on edge. With good reason. Ariel is forced to meet with one of them on a regular basis so that they can learn from each other. Really, though, they just want to get to the bottom of where Ariel came from and she is more than happy to comply with them.

Mika Marshall is back at the University of Morgana. It is her first fall semester, her first homecoming and Samhain on Morgana’s Island. So much is the same her first day and yet...so much is different. She is no longer the girl who couldn’t do basic magic, but she’s losing control - she’s finding it difficult to rejoin the living after what she had to do to win the challenge. Claire refused to yield, and Mika had to take her life to stay alive.

May you live in interesting times. I'm not quite sure who said it, but I'd sure as hell like to find him and beat him in the head with a shovel. One thing about Cedar Falls...it was definitely interesting. I'd have settled for boring. Maybe even dull with a smidge of mediocrity. I guess I had nobody to blame but myself. That's what happens when your mother is the biggest witch, and I mean that literally, on the planet, your father is the god of night, and you're something in between. Something that keeps getting stronger. Something you can't always control.

Back in San Francisco, Mika is working on bringing the Marshall greenhouse back to its full glory, despite her sister constantly breathing down her neck about the Matriarch ritual. Claire tries to force Mika's hand, but she refuses to give her sister the power to control her, or Audrey's life. To her sister's fury, Mika challenges Claire to the title of Matriarch. There hasn't been a witch challenge in centuries, and Mika isn't sure she is stronger - but it has to be worth the risk. But if one does not yield, both will die. Can Mika survive the challenge without exposing what she is?

Ariel Kimber has finally settled into her life. Life is golden, shiny, and the potential for happy days - endless. Until it’s not. When the Council comes to call, you pick up the phone and answer...or you suffer the consequences. Only a fool wouldn’t answer, and Ariel Kimber is no fool. With her coven of guys, her psychotic father, and the honorable Marcus Cole by her side, she can make it through anything.... Even the Council.

One warrior queen, three dragons, and a formidable fae demigod. A reverse harem that heats your blood with four mates! My princes and I return to the Dragon Realm, only to find the mad Dragon King has burned half of the kingdom, and the dark fae's army is at our door. To defeat our ancient foes and put the broken realm back together, I must go on a quest to uncover the origin of my curse and unleash the great, terrible magic in me. But I can't leave my people to face the evil alone. In the midst of crisis, my dragon general returned.
