Fresh off a plane from France, I was ready for a little reprieve. After a wild night and a few too many drinks, I ended up in a hotel room with a complete stranger. I didn’t think I’d ever see him again — boy, was I wrong.

What do you do when your cheating business partner/boyfriend (bad, bad idea) announces he’s selling your software company on Thursday to fund his new life with his other girlfriend? You hurry back to stop him, of course. He’s not getting rich on my dime! Or that would be the plan, but I’m currently lost in the Klamath Mountains, access to my car cut off by a California wildfire, and there’s no way I make it back in time.

They called me the villain. Homewrecker. The other woman. But there’s something dangerous about mistakes. You don’t realize you’re making one until it’s too late.... “You haven’t changed at all,” Bridget said to me that day. Those words hit me hard. I left, ready to start a new life for my daughter and I. Now, years later, I’m working hard. Doesn’t matter how complicated it is or if the guilt gets to me. I’m alive, and he’s not. But life throws me a curveball when I’m not expecting it.

Trinity was just trying to get to Temecula to see her cousin and start her new life. What she didn’t do was plan accordingly, and she ran out of gas in the middle of the desert on her way. When an insanely hot biker takes pity on her, or rather insists on helping her, her brain says no, but her body says yes.

Eddie Houston wears the Blackwater Renegades MC “Nomad” rocker, serving as the club’s eyes and ears out west. Otherwise, the ex-convict junkyard picker and bouncer keeps to himself. He owes nobody, and he likes it that way. When a scruffy, half-starved kid with defiant blue eyes and an attitude to match is left on his doorstep, Eddie knows for sure “Lucky” ain’t his. And he ain’t no do-gooder. But the girl needs help, and his MC brothers will know what to do. Besides, while he’s visiting the club, he’s likely to find a hot woman to break his long, cold, dry spell.

When her mentor goes inexplicably missing, gargoyle cadet Tiffany Noboru and her best friend Hedika Greene put their ghost hunting skills to the test in a harrowing journey across the world of gargoyles. To find him, they must brave what lies outside the Hollow Mountain and beyond the protection of their walls. Strange and dangerous creatures roam the blighted landscape between their home and their uncharted destination - the gargoyle sanctuary of Freefall, whose dying populace guards a terrible secret about her own world, and that some are willing to do anything to protect.

I love being a manny. Love it. Especially when my boss goes on extended business trips and leaves me with the keys to his Park Avenue penthouse. I mean, sure, I’ve got to watch his daughter, but she loves me almost as much as she loves her favorite K-pop group. Really. All is going well until their new neighbor thinks I’m the actual billionaire next door, and I don’t correct her. What could possibly go wrong?

I hate Harry Stone. Before I’d even met the selfish former pro hockey player turned CEO, he was at the top of my shit list. The entire city of Chicago thinks he’s God’s gift to humanity, but I know the truth. He knocked up my best friend and then ditched her when she needed him most. She got sick after that, and before she passed away, she chose me to raise her newborn daughter. I just need Harry to sign away his rights to the little girl who means everything to me. Unfortunately, it’s not quite that simple.

I screwed up. Considering the team is laden with controversy, adding to the rumor mill wasn’t my intention, especially since this is my second shot at the majors. As the Boston Bears’ first basemen, my job consists of more than winning games. I’m tasked with winning over the scorned fans.

Go figure the sexy man Melanie hooked up with two years ago is now one of the doctors she has to work with at her new job. When she sees him again, she’s reminded of the best...yet worst night of her life. Liam is cocky and arrogant, and she does everything she can to resist his charm but fails miserably. The sparks that were there before are reignited, but now she belongs to someone else. When she finally gives into him, she realizes she’s never experienced love before. But what happens when Melanie finds out about the secret Liam has been carrying around with him?

Being a gargoyle isn't easy. Tiffany wasn’t even born one, but now she has wings, and in the gargoyle world it means she’ll have to fight ghosts. A scary proposition for someone who was once one of the living, especially when all she wants to do is get home and see her parents again. Enter the Hollow Mountain, a place caught somewhere between life and death, where Tiffany’s inner light - if she can learn to harness it - can bring her the power needed to face the monsters she thought only existed in her dreams.
