Ethan I’ve held a series of jobs since graduating from business college, but none has captured my attention. Assisting a grouchy locksmith proves to be one of the more interesting challenges.

Returning to Maple Falls wasn't part of my five-year plan—or my backup plan. Or any plan, really. But here I am, back in my quirky hometown, dodging my mother's judgment, and trying not to cringe every time someone mentions the viral moment. (Yes, that one. No, I don't want to talk about it.)

Max They fear me. Worship me. Call me an abomination. I've earned my freedom a dozen times in The Pit, but I keep going back. Because violence is my church, and blood is the only thing that makes me feel alive. Then he arrives. Pretty. Fast. New. A golden-haired boy with ocean eyes and no clue...

“You’ve got no idea what I’m capable of, pretty thing.” • Victor • Sevastyan is the most beautiful man I have ever seen. He is also a fraud. No one who looks like the man in his self-portraits would ever choose to live as a recluse. It simply makes no sense. And I will expose his lies. Because Sevastyan ruined my life with a single exhibition. Over the years, my loathing has turned into poison coursing through my veins and helped fill my sketchbooks with violent fantasies fixated on one man, who doesn’t even know I exist.

How long can someone play the role of a monster before becoming a monster themselves? That’s the question that’s haunted Travis Kenton — A.K.A. Nathan Roarke — for the last 8 years. He’s hanging onto his humanity by a thread. The knowledge that he’ll save thousands of victims one of these days is why he gave up his entire life and identity nearly a decade ago. It has to be worth it. All of this has to be worth it. Then the operation’s integrity is compromised, the identity of his boss is revealed, and a slave trader captures his boss’s younger brother for revenge.

And, hey, at least he'd taken the Demon King with him, right? But then the gods try to send James to paradise without his Edwin, and that is simply unfathomable. So he does the unthinkable—he turns it down and negotiates for one more chance to fix his mistakes.

My inner dragon has always been more like a devil on my shoulder, talking me into making bad decisions and creating chaos. I thought accidentally becoming a mercenary was the worst mistake I would make in a single day… until I inadvertently mated myself to a demon. It's not my fault his mating ring was so pretty! All I have to do is fulfill my contract, not do anything else to make things worse, and avoid falling for the surprisingly sweet, himbo demon who thinks I'm his mate.

Dain caught my attention the moment I walked into the bookstore. Tall. Broody. Growly in that definitely-a-werewolf way. The more time I spend near him, the more certain I become of one impossible truth: Too bad I can barely string two words together in his presence. When I finally tell him about our connection, he doesn’t believe me. But he does agree to a date. Hopefully I can turn one date into two, then three, and then maybe, just maybe, he’ll see that I’m right. We’re viramores, and no matter what trouble comes our way, nothing will change that.

For almost a century, we've believed the prophecy to be a hoax. The promise of Fated Mates being the cure to this ruined world was a beautiful story, a romantic lie told to keep us in line. Nothing more than an idyllic promise to make us work together. Only we never did, and the world only suffered more. Joining the military has turned my life into a monotonous cycle of schedule, routine, and order. Day after day, I wake at the same time, wear the same uniform, and stare at the same power-hungry faces I've been commanded by for decades.

Then he’ll go back to his beautiful actress girlfriend and I’ll be alone again. I’m fine with that. But it doesn’t mean I won’t take what he’s offering me right now. His shining American smile, his beautiful open heart, the desperate kisses he presses into my skin.

They say guilt makes monsters of men. But what if the monster was always there—waiting for permission? The Sanctuary burned. Kain returned to find his friends gone, Mira dead, and the Red Sun's forces claiming his territory. One month ago, he had power. He had people worth protecting. He had hope. Now he has only vengeance. While Vex's armies march on the Commonwealth, consuming faction after faction with cult-like fervor, Kain walks a darker path. Alone in the wilderness, he hunts. He evolves. And he listens to the corrupted voice in his head that whispers we are inevitable.

I get called out to a huge mansion with the biggest number of invading gnomes I’ve ever seen, and I’m not sure who to call to help. And I definitely need some help. So when Winter Montgomery just so happens to stop by, I know I have to ask him. I’ve been crushing on the handsome guy from afar for years, so now’s my chance to get close—and get some much needed support. As long as I don’t let him see just how much I hate gnomes—okay, I’m actually terrified of them, but he doesn’t need to know that… right?

I'm not a real beaver. I just play one for the Bloomburg Aspens. You'd be surprised how many times I need to clarify that. It's not a traditional job, but between my yoga studio and playing the beaver, it pays the bills. The beaver mascot gig also comes with one rule: Don't reveal my identity to anyone. Which wasn't a big deal until I met this guy at the bar. A hot guy with a shy smile and a huge… wood. Lukas Pine. A hockey player for the Bloomburg Aspens. He was only supposed to be a one-night stand, but we keep finding each other.

We've all heard the saying, "What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas." God help me, if only that were true. Because as it turns out, my surprise gay husband is very much still my husband outside of the great state of Nevada. And let me tell you, as a straight guy, waking up married to a man I barely know with no memory of how it happened wasn't even on my Bingo card. What started as a fun weekend getaway to support my brothers in their relationships and show them how much I've grown, has somehow spiraled wildly out of my control.

So, you fell in love with your daughter's boyfriend. What happens next? I'll tell you…You finally begin to live again. You take trips, celebrate anniversaries, and attend your first Pride parade as an out-and-proud polyamorous throuple, apparently.
