I've never been the kind of girl to take the easy way out. Happy endings never came to people like me. The tarnished ones. I'm surrounded by a group that knows sadness too well. We know what it's like to lose and be tossed away like last night's trash. We are easy to blame for all the wrongs, because when others look at us, they see our scars. Most of our stories are told in the ink we bear, but we wear those tales proudly.

Once a snake, always a snake, huh? No matter how much Luna tries to prove herself, everyone will always blame her for the invasion of Nightfire Academy and theft of a dangerous spell book. Well, to hell with them. Luna hasn't got time to convince them otherwise, juggling her studies, magic practice, three handsome guardians, and a mysterious stranger that she can't stay away from. When a dark spell unlocks her memories, she opens a door she'll never close. Monsters court monsters, and turns out, she's one of them.

I’ve made a few bad decisions in my life. At the top of the list, attempting to rob the Russian Bratva. I wasn’t aware who I was robbing or what I was getting myself involved in until it was too late.

Magnolia Kinsella is finishing her nursing degree and interning at Silver Spring Memorial, but seriously, she’s a little klutz - she's so accident prone that she keeps turning up as a patient more than she should. Magnolia loves to jog to clear her mind and read steamy romance novels. She’s shy when she likes a guy, but a certain magic paperback might change her fate. Remember Thor...Ehm Max, the sexy paramedic from Onyx? He has to rescue our nurse from herself a few times but he certainly doesn’t mind. What happens if he isn’t the only one who’s noticed our girl?

He broke into my house, watched me sleep. He was dressed in black and wore a mask, telling me I could run but he’d catch me. I knew he only wanted one thing, and he wouldn’t leave until he got it. To use me.

The first time I meet Niall O'Rourke, he greets me, wearing little more than a scowl and a demeanor colder than the ice he skates on. I do my best to avoid him, that is, until he makes a proposition too good to refuse: I pretend to be his fiancee, and in return, he'll appear on my local television show. Despite our personalities clashing like hockey sticks, I discover beneath his brawny exterior is a man burdened by a complex past and a wounded heart.

As a top divorce attorney who's built her career—and her walls—on the belief that marriage doesn't last, Camila swears she'll never walk down the aisle. The problem? Camila's already married. Secretly. On paper, anyway. What was supposed to be a quick marriage of convenience to secure an inheritance is back in the spotlight when the court challenges whether it's real. Now she's juggling her sister's wedding, her own messy secret, and a man who believes in happily-ever-after while she's built a career tearing it apart. Six months. One roof.

Nothing comes easy. Nothing is given but must always be earned. The problem is I'm too tainted and broken to have anything good. That was a lesson I was taught early. A lesson I carried throughout my life, and into every relationship I had.

Dear Santa: For Christmas, I want my boyfriend to come home from his mission safely. Of course, that’s what I told everyone when they asked. But deep down, I was struggling with the knowledge that I would probably never get what I truly wanted—what I craved to experience more than anything. That was until the annual Marine Corps toy donation, where I sat in Santa’s lap and made my wish. The love of my life surprised me with his presence, and even more so with his promises. I just didn’t think it would take sharing me with his best friend to achieve it.

Three words to describe Kennedy Carter? Smart. Driven. Killer legs. See also: my last hope of winning a national football championship. Okay, so technically that’s more than three, but I’ve got bigger problems at the moment. Thanks to a drunken dare, Waverly University is short a kicker and with the home opener in three weeks, I’ll do whatever it takes to lead my team to victory. Even if it means poaching talent from the women’s soccer team. Or recruiting a sassy, STEM-loving feminist who wants nothing to do with football or me.

The labyrinth is changing, and so are the kings… Every step deeper into the maze brings new horrors—deadlier traps, darker magic, and screams that follow us through the night. The labyrinth doesn't just want us lost. It wants us broken. And the four fae kings at my side? They're becoming far...

"How can we make that happen for you?" After the unexpected death of my abusive husband, I did the only reasonable thing someone could possibly do when one was utterly broken and looking for direction. I moved across the country and started over. It worked in my favor, thankfully. I had a roof...

He was only supposed to be my model for the night. Just a fill-in, a friend helping another friend out. But when he begs for more? I can't resist.

I couldn't tell you when I fell in love with Owen Harper. I just always was. And still am. He was my first everything—first love, first kiss, and the only man who has left an indelible mark on my soul. I never thought that I'd call him anything but mine. But that was the thing about first loves. They weren't made to last. Owen was destined for greatness, and I couldn't be the one to stand in his way. So I broke both our hearts and walked away.

I stopped believing in the good a long time ago. My childhood was stripped from me one dark night and I was forever changed. Everywhere I looked I saw evil. Everyone I met, I looked at them as the enemy. It took a long time for me to open up and when I did I found my family. The only people I could count on. I never imagined I'd have a family. Because having a family gave me something to lose and I never wanted to feel that pain again. I never wanted to feel weak.

But life checks me harder than a hockey player when I discover Maeve is the executive assistant my dad raved about—which means she now works for me.
