In nineteenth century Norland, magic is forbidden, punishable by death. But it's coming for Clara. Clara was born to the nobility at a time when rank and power are often more valuable than the bonds of family. Her parents have plans for her, none that she wants, all involving her arranged marriage. From her birth, her entire life has been planned out-only what a future wife in society needs to know. Every step of her path is meant to end with her walking down an aisle and then popping out heirs.

Zasha comes from a family of cage fighters. There was no time for playing with dolls or painting her nails - just learning how to survive in the ring. When four men attack her, she’s ready for them. Until they break the rules, and use dark magic against her. They transform her into a wolf. A beast. The Pound is an underground fighting arena, where wolves are pitted against each other to delight the whims of the perverse elite. It’s where wolves are sent to fight - and die. She was never meant to be a wolf, but was always meant to be a fighter.

Jasmine has been around magic all her life. She knows the rules, and she loves to break them. When she turned 18, her shifter powers manifested, just as she expected them to. When the Magical Creatures Academy invited her to attend the prestigious school, she wasn’t surprised. When she had a fling with a flirtatious fae over the summer, she thought nothing would come of it, especially as she’s had her eye on a mighty fine shifter at the academy. But for once Jas is about to be shocked. The fae isn’t what he appeared to be, and neither is the amulet he left behind.

When Bruno rides up on a Harley, all muscled and tattooed, it isn’t just the bike that purrs. I’m drawn to the wolf shifter in a way that can’t be denied. But when he can’t take his eyes off me, it’s not for the reason I’d hoped. He knows more about me than I do. My past isn't what I thought it was. My enemies are much more powerful than I’d ever imagined. My destiny alone remains the same. I’ll do whatever it takes to secure the future of werewolves.

Marla figured returning to her small hometown would be the start of a simple life — albeit one with magic. She figured wrong. Magic was part of the deal, but the new role assigned to her wasn’t. What does she know about detecting? Nothing at all, a fact made plainly obvious during her first day on the job. What do a foul-mouthed leprechaun and Spanx have in common? Marla is about to find out....

New rule: When you find a shiny, pretty necklace, do not put it on. Jas has long known about magical objects. She just never thought the pendant her summer fling left behind would be one. Now Jas has to figure out how to master her pendant...before it masters her.

Inseparable since childhood, Joss and her friends Griffin, Hunt, Layla, and Brady are one of those tightly knit crews that everyone in Ridgemore knows. But celebrating their senior year isn't turning out quite how they'd pictured . . . especially since reanimating the dead isn't possible. Right? Right? For megalomaniac Magnum Chase, anything is possible, and he takes the group of teens to a brand-new "institute" at an undisclosed location, where they'll learn the perks of their newly discovered immortality.

Marla Gawama is the new detective of Gales Haven. She knows nothing about sleuthing, but her nan assigned her the job, and what Bessie Gawama wants, she gets. Marla does her best to carry out her new detective doo-ties. She even dons her comfortable running shoes and sets out to get ’er done. But when some bumbling bumpkins show up in town, and Haveners start losing their marbles left and right, it becomes clear she’s not cut out for the job. That never stopped a Gawama witch before. And she isn’t going to let it stop her now.

Huzzah! I made it to my 23rd birthday! Given how much dragon magic I have rolling through me now, doing its best to cook me from the inside out, this feat is no small thing. I’ve earned a hearty celebration and then some. I’m gonna party down at Sharmayne’s and let her ply me with as many of her cocktails as she wants. Her magic touch is exactly what I need after how nutty life in Traitor’s Den has been lately. I deserve every hypnotic, milky, swirling Moon Mixer she sends my way. Hell, I might get fancy and skip right on to a Roll in the Hay, maybe even a Sirens on the Rocks.

The hunted has become the hunter. Anira is part of the Dragon Force, whose purpose is to protect the dragons, sacred to her people. The chieftain of her tribe intends to drain the power of the dragons and keep it for himself. Now he’s allied with shadow people, who ride the dragons - a feat none in the force has managed to achieve. Stopping the chieftain before he succeeds in destroying them all is more urgent than ever. He’s only getting stronger.

As a hybrid shapeshifter - half siren, half angel - Selene is one of a kind. It’s a label that makes her the target of a rebel faction of supernatural creatures that seeks to claim her power. Power that is undeveloped and more a danger than anything. Soon Selene is on the run in an unfamiliar world, unable to return to her ocean home. At least she’s not alone. Quinn, a shifter with his own secrets, has her back.

A prodigy pygmy owl. A possessive firedrake. A booby-trapped castle. Gargoyles come to life. Who said magic would be ordinary? No one can access magic like Clara, but her powers are unpredictable and dangerous. She has to learn how to control them.

The chieftain is plotting to steal the dragons' magic. Anira won't let that happen. All her life, Anira has hidden from her people. She can no longer remain in the shadows. It's the responsibility of her tribe to protect the dragons. The chieftain is up to his usual tricks. She'll have to enlist the help of the very soldiers tasked with killing her to stop him.

The Rocky Mountain Pack’s territory has always been her sanctuary. The one place where she was safe from those who track her, their pursuit merciless and unrelenting. But when Naya is taken from her very home, that refuge is violated. She’s exposed. There’s nowhere safe for her now. And her enemy is far more terrible than she ever imagined. An immortal, the woman can’t be killed. She’s lived a thousand years already. Naya is determined to find a way to end the immortal where none has been found before. She is a warrior. She’s trained her entire life to defeat the hunters.

Marla’s ancestors saddled her with frizzy red hair, sarcasm on tap, the Gawama last name, and the urge to run from her problems. Her bloodline was also supposed to guarantee she’d be a powerful witch. She isn’t, not by a long shot. Only those with magic are allowed in her hometown. Now that her teenage children are awakening, and sparking enough power to be a fire hazard, she’s headed back. Even if she isn’t ready. Even if she’s fresh out of divorce court. But then Marla and her kids all but blow up the town on day one.

The Magical Creatures Academy has sent its finest fairies to recruit her. As a hybrid shape-shifter - half siren, half angel - Selene of the Kunu Clan is one of a kind. It’s a label that makes her the target of a rebel faction of supernatural creatures that seeks to claim her power. But her power is undeveloped and more a danger to herself than an aid. Yet her magic is her only advantage over the vicious vampires and fierce shifters who seek to eliminate her.

Jas is no stranger to trouble. She usually sets off in search of it, for funsies. Not anymore. Not now that her cursed pendant has delivered her to the last place she’d ever wish to go. To the one place where she definitely doesn’t belong. She wants nothing more than to return to the Magical Creatures Academy to squirrel away some private time with the smoking hot shifter who’s finally all hers.

I need more magic like I need a point-blank bullet to the head. All that dragon power Rhett’s already given me is churning around inside me, causing as much trouble as the great poohbah dragon protector himself, and he’s trouble walking in a pair of perfectly fitting jeans. Regardless of my desires, and I’ve got lots of them thanks to the two men who won’t stop shooting suggestive looks my way, more magic is exactly what I’ve got—plus a whole band of dragon shifters without it, heh, pointing fingers at me for taking what they think is theirs. Oopsie.
