He's nearly twice my age. My dad's best friend. And our scandalous hookup leaves me with a secret I can never tell. Ethan Savage was my forbidden crush. All salt-and-pepper, custom suits, and a bossy, dirty mouth. The man who watched me grow up… then bent me over the bathroom sink at a bar and...

Dark mages don't deal in warnings—only executions. So when assassin-in-training Esme Salem is tasked with infiltrating a magical defense academy and eliminating Kieran Mazrov—a deadly mage with powers that could erase her kind from existence—it should be treacherous but simple. A poisonous jab to his throat. A garrote bracelet slit across his neck. No hesitation. What she doesn't expect is Professor Dayn.

I thought it was just a hookup on an airplane. Let’s be cute and call it a “one-flight-stand.” Or we could be more accurate and call it what it really was: the day that ruined my life.

Nico Morrelli. My blackmailer. A liar. I stole from him. And when he came to collect, the money was gone. I used it to try and save someone I loved, but it still wasn’t enough.

My ex hated my curves. But his silver fox dad? He loved every inch of them. All. Night. Long. I went on vacation to forget my toxic breakup. And I ended up in the bed of a ridiculously hot older man. Dominant. Sinful. And insanely good with those experienced, surgeon's hands. It was one wild, nameless night… Then sunrise hit… and so did the shocking truth: I'd just slept with my ex's father. Yeah… so I ran. Fast forward to me, pregnant with twins, standing in his ER, mid-contraction. "Ella?" he says, eyes wide. Oh, Doctor. If you think you're shocked now, wait until you see your babies.

Rex is an Alpha without a pack. Rejected by his fated mate, he's not interested in second chances. He just wants to be left in peace to lick his wounds and rebuild his life. When he starts a new business, his sister-in-law comes to help out, but Leah is exactly the kind of happy, bubbly woman he normally can't stand to be around. It doesn't matter how attractive she is. And let's not forget she knows nothing about shifters. Even if he wanted to keep her, he can't.

Chase Walker is a man on a mission. Convinced Grey Ridge is the home base for a criminal organisation, he plans to use his military experience and connections to help his sister's escape from the men who've captured them. First, he has to get proof the Joneses are up to no good. Hayley and Leah think they're in love and deliriously happy, Chase thinks they've been brainwashed. They won't leave without a fight. Gathering the evidence he needs would be much easier if the local deputy, the beautiful but annoying as hell Natalie Lennox, would get off her perfect backside to help him.

I've been alone for over three hundred years. The darkness is around every corner, trying to swallow me whole as I watch my packmates one by one find their true loves, while I stand permanently on the sidelines. But when she collapses in my arms, everything comes into crystal clear focus. I don't even know her name, only that it's her. My mate. The one I've been waiting centuries for.

I had no idea how beautiful and terrifying my life was about to become. Living as an independent artist in New York, I was soon faced with the new knowledge of my powers, a curse, and how bonding with five sexy-as-sin supernaturals would break that curse. One by one they found me—Fae, Warlock, Demon, Wolf shifter, Vampire. I'm their mate. Their equal. Their perfect match. The one to unbind them from their curse. Heart, body, and soul, I'm meant to be theirs. Theirs to share. Theirs to love.

After giving the order to have my wicked fiancé dealt with, I'm now finding it difficult to accept what I've done. I find myself in the clutch of those who wish to destroy the men I've fallen for, and I'm thrown right into the deep end of the darkness that haunts my men. Will I wind up just another casualty in the war between families? Or will the darkness bring out the worst of us all, including me? When Veronica is stolen from us, our promise to keep her safe is tested, and the depth of our feelings for our little stray make themselves known.

I've found myself in a situation like once before, but my feelings around it this time are vastly different. My men are nothing like the one who took away something precious to me, and I know they'll help protect my new love no matter what. But this is a whole new venture for all of us, and past shadows weasel their way in, determined to fracture everything we've built. When we discover something so beautiful with our little stray, we know everything is going to change. The men we once were will need to evolve, and we're ready to face any challenges coming our way.

The quiet little healer? She can't be my mate. My wolf was desperate—we were dying. Poisoned. Tortured. It's the only explanation. But when I wake up, she's there at my side, and my wolf is nearly feral, trying to get to her, stake his claim on her. But I push her away, because it's all too much, too soon. I'm not worthy of a mate. Especially not now that I'm scarred. I'm too broken, too ugly, too mean. Anything good in me was burned out a long time ago. No, she's better off without me. Now I just have to convince my wolf to let her go.

I joined the Mile High Club and ended up pregnant. If only the story stopped there. But no. It gets worse. It gets so much worse.

My teammates can't know how much she tempts me. Her brother certainly can't know the things I'm imagining doing to her. We'll both keep pretending we're just having fun, even when she winds up sharing my bed in secret. We both agree it's harmless. Just casual. But when her old life comes calling, will I keep pretending, or will I put it all on the line?

When I'm charged with bringing back runaway Sloan Masters to her father, the instructions are disturbing: If you can't extract her, unalive her. I don't hurt women, I protect them. But I still have a job to do.

I need a bride, and Cinderella is perfect to play the part… The beauty crashed my friend's wedding, called me a beast… and ran. But I always find what I want. And I want her. Turns out she's my mentor's daughter. Her curves are so off-limits! So to keep her close, I give her a job. And make her an offer she can't refuse. All she needs to do is parade on my arm as my fake fiancée. And I get to be CEO. Playing pretend? Easy AF. Playing by the rules? Hard as hell.

My BFF pulled a bait-and-switch on me. Instead of drinks with the girls, I'm at this bar to meet a blind date. "He's nice and normal and handsome!" she promises. Only one of those three is correct. Yakov Kulikov is as gorgeous as they come—and ten times as dangerous. Sparks ignite, but this is no meet-cute. It's a prison sentence. Turns out Mr. Tall, Dark, and Brooding is in charge of the Kulikov Bratva. And now that I've caught his attention, he insists I need his protection. Kidnapped by a hot mob boss—most girls' dream, right? Wrong.

My one piece of advice: Never kiss a stranger. See, I kind of kissed this sexy man at the bar on a dare once, and it turns out he’s a Royal Fae destined to be my mate. Now I’ve been dragged to the Elemental Fae Academy to control the powers I unlocked that night. So kissing? Yeah, that won’t happen again. Nope.

When the Velasco family's top hitwoman shows up in New York, I plan on finding out exactly why. Amalia might be gorgeous, as well as lethal, but if she's here to negotiate terms to use our ports for her family's filthy crimes? I don't need to hear what she has to say; it's a no. It will always be a no. But the longer I tail her—and the guard dog she brought along—the more I realize something's off.

Logan McKinley. My ex. I knew he was trouble from the first moment I laid eyes on him. Fresh out of law school with a new job at one of San Diego’s biggest firms, I was supposed to focus on my career. No distractions, no men, and especially no office romances. Then I met Logan. He was cocky, smooth-talking, and gorgeous—a hotshot associate on the fast track to a partnership and exactly the kind of guy I needed to avoid.
