Our fae courts are at war, yet somehow, we're mated. My fated mate is the Seelie Fae king. He’s powerful, dangerous, and sexy as hell. Except, I don’t want a fated mate. Especially since he hates me. Turns out I’m Unseelie, and our courts are at war. When my new Unseelie magic goes haywire and I nearly destroy my city, I can’t fix it alone. The only person with strong enough magic is the king. Which means I have to beg my mate for help. I’d rather chew off my own leg, but that won’t save magic’s bend.

Since I was born, I was destined to be one thing - the Alpha’s mate. It should be every girl’s dream. Not mine, though. He’s too dark and damaged, and I’ve got a secret he can never know: I’m not a true wolf. Instead of waiting for him to figure out that I’m an abomination, I left on my 15th birthday. But I didn’t go far. No way in hell would I let him drive me from the town I love. Ten years later, I’m still hiding in plain sight. When I occasionally see him on the street - deadly, sexy, powerful - I just walk by. Keep my head down. Until that night.

But I don’t trust him one bit—especially not the way he uses his seductive charms to try to compel me to work for him.

In order to get away from the married doctor she had fallen in love with, Susan Moore took a job as a private psychiatric nurse on Sanctuary Island, at Duncarlie Castle. The castle had been brought over stone by stone from Scotland and people said it wasn't haunted....

Against all odds, I’ve won the chance to represent my academy at the Intermagic Games. Teams from all over the world will compete. But it’s not just the prize I’m after - I’m going undercover to stop two ancient evil monsters. They’ve infiltrated the games, and if they get their claws on the prize first, all hell will break loose. When I’m paired up with the irresistibly sexy gladiator Maximus, it will take all my skill to keep my eye on the goal. And I have to do it while keeping my dark magic under wraps.

Cass Clereaux likes her job. It's simple - steal the magic, don't get killed. FireSouls like her are perfect for magic treasure hunting. Their dragon soul helps them find treasure, their wicked powers help them steal it. But there's a big freaking downside - FireSouls are hunted. If either of the magical governments figures out what she is, she can kiss her life goodbye.

Cass Clereaux is good at two things: finding treasure and killing demons. Lying low is a close third - but not because she wants to be good at hiding. Cass is a FireSoul, one of the unlucky few to inherit a piece of a dragon's soul. On the surface, the perks are sweet - she has the power to find and steal any type of magical treasure, including the powers of other supernaturals. But it doesn't come without a price; stealing powers requires that she kill, and others would destroy her if they discover what she is.

When I ran away to New Orleans, I’d hoped that I was leaving my awful past behind me. I was wrong. My former captor has found me, and he’s threatening the town I love if I don’t return to him. He wants me to use my power to kill for him, and he’ll destroy New Orleans if I refuse. Talan, the demon lord who is my mate, will stop at nothing to protect me. Together, we stand a chance—as long as I embrace the magic that has haunted me since the day I was born.

Last week, I was a hotel maid who had no idea magic existed. Today, I’m the prisoner of a werewolf pack. I had to steal from them to save a friend, and now I’m behind bars. To make things more complicated, the werewolf alpha is my fated mate - and now he hates me for my betrayal. The attraction between us is off the charts, but it doesn't matter. His loyalty is to his pack. He would avoid me if he could, but he can't. When we're forced to work together to save his pack, it becomes clear that neither of us is going to escape with our hearts intact.

I’ve been on the run ever since my father sold me out to the mob with promises that I could repay his debt. But no one can hide from the mob forever. When they find me, they give me two options - pay back my father’s debt or sleep with the fishes. My only shot is to rob the most powerful man in the city - the famed Garreth Locke. I get more than I bargained for - including the knowledge that magic is real, and Garreth is a freaking werewolf. Soon, I’m swept up into an insane world of wealth and magic that I had no idea existed.

Despite 10 years of secrecy, Lachlan has figured out that I’m his mate. And he’s not pleased that I’ve been hiding from him. Nor is he pleased that I escaped from his cell. It’s hardly my worst problem, though. There’s a killer after me. Multiple killers, if our source is to be believed. And they’re determined to find me. As much as I want to run a hundred miles from Lachlan to avoid the mate bond, it’s too dangerous. I need his help to find the people who are after me, and there’s no way he’d let me go, anyway.

At a glance, life is perfect for Del Bellator. She's getting the hang of her magic, the shop she runs with her friends is thriving, and she has a hot almost-boyfriend in the form of were-demon Roarke Fallon. But nothing is ever as it seems.

I am the true Unseelie Queen. And it will kill me. I have a knack for getting myself into some bad situations. What can I say - I like to live dangerously. But waking up partially dead in the Court of Death takes the cake. It’s small consolation that my fated mate Tarron is at my side, since it means that he’s mostly dead too. To make matters worse, the false queen who plans to destroy both our kingdoms is still alive and regaining her strength. We must work together to return from the dead and stop her from killing thousands - including my sister.

With the Shadows from her past hot on her tail, Del Bellator is committed to growing her magic. That means hunting demons and stealing their powers, a job that's as risky as dancing with the devil. But she'll need all the power she can get if she wants to defeat the Shadows, so she's willing to take the risk. While out on a demon hunt, she spots her boyfriend Roarke's long-lost brother. He's the only person who could tell her what the Shadows are up to. But only if only she can catch him.

Well, I’ve let the cat out of the bag. Except the cat is three deadly Greek Titans bent on destroying the world. In fact, they’re more powerful than ever. And so far, I haven’t figured out how to defeat them. When the Titans tell me where their stronghold is located and demand that I come fight them, the pressure is on. I must prepare for the biggest battle of my life...one that I’m not sure I can win.

I am destined to kill my fated mate. First, Fate decreed that my mate would be Tarron, King of the Seelie Fae. He's gorgeous, arrogant, and for the longest time, I hated him. Until I didn't. Problem is...as soon as I start to fall for him, fate meddles again. Apparently, I’m fated to kill Tarron. To make matters worse, our Fae courts are at war. My mother is trying to destroy his kingdom. She’s hunting down Eternal Fire to destroy his realm, and I have to help stop her.
