Her past could destroy her second chance with her fated mate...Since returning to Moon Valley, Ciara Quinn has been given a second chance. She’s bound to her alpha, Preston, and wants to prove to him and the Crimson Moon pack that she’s here to stay. But when her ex, Cyrus, arrives in town uninvited, everyone starts asking questions.

I used to love working. There was nothing I enjoyed more than seeing the auto shop I built from the ground up thriving, showing how far I’d managed to come in this brutal world. Then I hired Piper. Now she’s everywhere. At the front desk all day and right next door all night, infiltrating my life. My thoughts. I can’t deny wanting her, but there’s a line, and my name on the bottom of her paychecks is it.

Hudson Jolly is, ironically, the biggest Scrooge in Merryville, but I'm not intimidated. He warns me to stay away from him. However, I'm convinced he's playing reindeer games. When I learn he's searching for a nanny, I offer to help. Out of desperation, he hires me. That's his first mistake. The attraction is undeniable, and after too much spiked eggnog, lines are quickly crossed. I jingle his bells, and Hudson becomes my ho ho ho, but—because there's always a but with broody men like him—only for the season.

Falling into bed with my best friend’s brother was an accident. What happened right after… not so much. With abs more defined than the Texas Hill Country and a killer smirk I can’t ignore, the “boy next door” is all grown up and too hot for his own good. My heart races for a man who’s forbidden. My breath catches each time his hand brushes against mine. His heated glances melt me, leading me closer to temptation. One night together has us desperate for more. But we have no desire to give this small town something to talk about—or worse, upset his sister.

Meeting Bolan Adler, professional baseball catcher and single dad, is a complicated story. One involving a one-time kiss when I was young and silly. And a two-time tryst as some kind of midlife breakdown moment. Anyway, in the game of baseball, three strikes mean: you're out. I thought my third one might happen when Bolan Adler is the newest client of the sports management agency I work for. The same business that just promoted me to agent status when I hadn't asked for the position.

When his agent drops him and rumors of a trade swirl through the league faster than a puck on a breakaway, I find myself in the dreaded role of Banks’s new agent. There’s no doubt I can save his career from crashing into the boards, but only if we don’t strangle each other first. All I need to do is whip this man-baby into shape and negotiate an epic contract that will establish me once and for all as the top hockey agent in the league.

I’m a hot-headed pro hockey player with a reputation for two things: reckless fights on the ice and a taste for older women off of it. But this time I might just be in over my head with an older single mom.

After leaving his notorious family’s reputation in the rearview, Toby reluctantly returns home to care for his ailing mother. When his old school crush takes the job to help him care for his mom, coming home suddenly has one hell of a silver lining. Claudia knows all about Toby’s bad-boy reputation and has no intention of falling under his spell. But the handsome, kind, caring man she sees with his mother is not the same troublemaker she grew up with. Fight it as she does, Claudia cannot resist her blossoming feelings for the town bad boy.

I've never considered myself a guarded person; instead, I choose to wear my heart on my sleeve. With the events of last year finally behind me, I'm finding happiness in the small things again: My flower booth, the diner, and my family. Until a handsome stranger visits my flower booth, the machine fails, and he leaves his card telling me he'll come back later. It's not until he's gone that I notice his name. Reese Walker. My dead ex-boyfriend's far older brother. And he's completely off limits.

Left at the altar, Poppy Red is taking her honeymoon alone to lick her wounds and heal her broken heart, hoping to find a way to get back what the distrust of men has taken from her. Instead, she finds Jeremiah Hayes. The enigmatic wolf shifter may hold the answers she’s looking for to a past and a future that have always loomed with unknowns.

Salvatore Vitale met Isabella through a chance first time encounter, but that’s all it took. One night with the blonde bombshell, and he was hooked. That is, until someone in the family said they would pay him good money to track her down.

I'm in over my head with not one, but two, ex-boyfriends at the same wedding. Both of which I haven't seen in over a year. When the one who ripped my heart into pieces backs me into a corner, I grab the other and kiss him.

My name is Belle. After Kronos takes control of Delerood, my soldiers and I are forced to retreat. Realizing the blow is a big one, I also realize the only way back into Delerood and through Kronos’ time-loop, which keeps outsiders out, is by returning to Castle Chimera. There, I’ll need to appeal to the three monsters who live there, monsters known as Alder, Horatius, and Beacon.

Mates are supposed to be forever, but nine years ago I found mine sleeping with another man. Every night, I both curse the Moon Goddess for pairing me with such an unfaithful woman and beg her for another chance to find a mate who could love me because a callous and unruly alpha like me isn’t cut out to raise a daughter with a disability on his own. But the years pass by, and I find myself loathing everyone, especially Jade. When the Chaos hits for the first time in nine years, I vow that I would never let another woman get close enough to hurt me again.

Maisie runs into my life in need of saving, literally. Like Little Red Riding Hood, she dons a red coat and is running from wolves. Life has a funny way of playing jokes on people. Just when I thought I’d spent the rest of my days mourning the loss of my parents, Maisie brings color back into my life. With Christmas right around the corner, maybe it’s time to stop living in my grief and give in to the magic of the season.

Coming back to my hometown wasn’t part of my Christmas game plan. Neither was coaching my old high school’s hockey team or crossing paths with Colette McAllister, the Ice Queen of Brooking Sound. Back in high school, she was my biggest crush—and my brother’s biggest fan. Now, she’s all sharp glares, sarcastic quips, and a refusal to admit how much fun she’s having making my life miserable. But when my buddy Tucker bets I can’t get Colette to go on a date and kiss me under the mistletoe by Christmas Eve, I can’t resist.

One would think a nomadic life would be peaceful drifting from place to place, hiking scenic trails across the western U.S. But no matter how far I go, I can’t outrun the event that drove me from my hometown in Mississippi. Now, in Pinebrook, California, tucked just outside Yosemite National Park, I cling to the hope that fresh air and distance might finally quiet the monstrous narrative in my mind. Content to keep to myself, I take a temporary job with a plan to disappear in six months—no attachments. Then a freak accident puts me on his radar. Noah Sullivan is too kind. Too observant.
