The Gaelic myths and legends that are prevalent in the British Isles are the very fabric of the Irish, Scottish, Manx, and Cornish people today. They are colorful, steeped in heroic deeds and adventurous demigods, and rooted in times long gone, when Europe as we know it was an altogether different land. More precisely, the Irish mythology and its unique Ulster Cycle are an endless source of inspiration and are a crystal clear glimpse into the heart and soul of the Irish People.

Millicent Foxboro is haunted. Not by ghosts, but by the anguish of her past and the uncertainty of her future. After all, even in the progressive year of 1928, most people would balk at hiring a woman who’d spent two months in a mental ward for traumatic amnesia. So when an uncommon assistantship to a reclusive Professor of mythology falls into her lap with an ungodly salary attached, her desperation for stability overrides her cautious nature.

I've been in love with Ash Johansson for as long as I can remember. Former hockey player for the NHL, he now has his dream job coaching the team he loves. Except, while he's off living his best life, I'm left here. Not in a loveless marriage, but in something much worse: a lonely one. Our forever has fizzled out. So I do the only thing that makes sense. I move out of our marital home to give us space to think about what we want. Only he has a different plan. He's everywhere I turn. Crowding my space, igniting my body, and sliding back into my heart.

He dared to take her from me. And I have to get her back before it’s too late. I will unleash the monster within. I’ll paint the walls red and burn the world down to reach her, no matter what it costs—even if she can’t love what I’ve become. In the end, I’ll become her nightmare to reclaim what's mine.

The history of the Scottish nation is full to the brim with glorious heroes and epic struggles. Throughout the centuries of its fight for independence, Scotland gave birth to some truly exceptional men and women who went above and beyond the call of duty for the freedom of their home country. This fight for independence has ever since inspired every Scottish person--and even bolstered people all across the world.

Captain Alister Paine has always had his good eye set on treasure, murder, and sinking ships. His fame as a ruthless, bloodthirsty pirate has spread across the Seven Seas. The Howling Death, his precious warship, is the deadliest ship on the ocean waters, striking fear into the hearts of all those who see it. So when a deceitful yet sensual woman steals his bloody ship from him, he wants nothing but revenge! And revenge can come in many forms...

I know the truth now—the dark, twisted things he did to her. It fuels my thirst for vengeance, my hunger for his blood. For her, I’ve agreed to a truce—for now. We’ll keep her safe. We’ll bring down the monsters hunting her. But every second he’s near her shreds my control. He thinks she’s his. He’s wrong. When this ends, she’ll be mine.

Few are those that have not heard of the fearsome Vikings and their daring exploits. These Northern seafarers, the scourge of the Middle Ages, left their mark on the world’s history in a grand fashion. Courageous, defiant, and driven by the desire for exploration, the Norsemen were the most feared of all Medieval conquerors. Many thought them invincible, and they held many struggling Christian nations in their sway. From Scotland, England, France, and Ireland, down to the shores of Spain and the Baltic, the Vikings left their undeniable mark.

Good girl. I am good. I’m good at my job, running my company, and making a filthy amount of money. But when a tattooed, dark-haired stranger a decade younger than me whispers Good Girl in my ear—I don’t want to be good anymore. Behind closed doors, Salt shows me things I’ve never experienced. He holds me captive with his burning touch and fevered demands of submission. He brings me to my knees and makes me yearn to stay there forever, even as the clock ticks… Everyone says what we’re doing is sinful. That a woman like me shouldn’t have desires like this.

Lilith Clarke is supposed to be dead: murdered by the vicious King Oren, her blood staining a field of daisies. But death would have been merciful. After years of having no name, she is finally given a title: Queen of Umbra. But it will cost her everything. Lily is now bound to King Asher, the most powerful and brutal shadow divinus in all of Omnia. Forced to rule in secret, she slowly loses herself to the darkness. She fears it will swallow her whole.

I was running out of options. Jobless, hungry, and exhausted, with no clue what to do next. Then help came in the form of a business card. Bite: an underground blood agency matching consenting donors with vampires willing to pay a premium for live feedings. One bite may not be so bad. It could fix a lot of my problems. But then one bite turns into two, and the next thing I know, I'm standing at a donor gala, catching the eye of the most powerful man in the room. James Devereaux, vampire king of the Northeast. A vamp who never drinks from the same human twice. Until me.

I've had a thing for Ivy Scott since I first laid eyes on her a year ago. She's smart, sexy, and everything I've ever wanted. Too bad she was engaged to one of my best friends. But that idiot leaves her at the altar. So, as one of the groomsmen, I have to be there for her, right? Even if that includes a cross-country road trip with the other two groomsmen—her best friend, Liam, and my best friend, Harrison—to the beach house she's inherited in South Carolina.

The crush I have on my best friend’s brother Hudson likely borders on being unhealthy. But when he dons a mask at a Halloween party and suddenly notices me, I’m not going to argue. Especially when he goes from my grumpy boss to the growling dominant man of my wildest fantasies.

There were three things and only three things I knew for sure about the woman sitting across from me at the family dinner table every night for the last week. She was completely off-limits. She was my brother’s fiancée. And she was my absolute obsession. Fact of the matter was, I’d also seen her first. Which meant it was only fair that I crept into her bridal suite the night before the ceremony and took her virginity. She retaliated by slipping into my hotel room and taking something of mine. An appendage.

Being wildly attracted to my best friend’s little sister was kind of a nightmare. Especially when she knew every vivid detail of my very active sex life. When her best friend offered the opportunity to get to know her through a blind dating experiment where she won’t know who she’s talking to for two weeks, I didn’t hesitate to take the opportunity to show her who I was beyond all the miscommunication.

Their passion refuses to fizzle out and burns brighter, hotter, and, frighteningly, deeper every time. Rosetta manages to convince the land-hating Alister to port. They need supplies, and the Laughing Siren still needs repairs. But land may be dangerous for them—and not just because of the bounty on his head.

She's finally coming home. This time, I won't let her go. Estella walked out of my life years ago, and I couldn't follow her. I've bided my time, watching her, waiting for her. With our parents' tenth anniversary party approaching, she can't avoid coming home. Three days will be all I have to win her over. To rid her of her boyfriend and take his place.

After seeking to innovate a new spell against the rules of my guild, I was given a choice: remain indebted to the guild for years, resigned to complete whatever missions they sent me on, or gain my freedom—and have my class reset all the way back to Level One. This guy chose freedom. Fortunately, thanks to the generosity of an old friend, I've come into possession of a patch of land in the free town of Moonshaw.

Life as a Summoner in the town of Moonshaw is everything I wanted it to be. Sure, I might have had my class reset, but now that I've completed the gauntlet and pushed back up to Level 20, things are going great. I've got a great house, a huge patch of woodland at my disposal, a backyard workshop, and a pair of beautiful women to share my time with. Plus, now that I've got access to my portable summoning seal, I can finally focus on experimental summons just as much as conventional leveling.

A cycle that never stops. I thought the way out was going somewhere safer, but are you ever safe? Logan, Nicky, Tey, and Dalton show me that no matter how far I go, I'll never be safe. It's only a matter of time before he comes for me. Four dangerous men think they can bring me to my knees, but what those alpha aholes don't know is that I'm rising up to a level they have never seen. Either be with me, or die along the way.
