Cosette Whitlow is a society matron if tiny Bradley, North Carolina, has one. She kindly volunteers for all the town's charities, but isn't nearly as kind to her own family, neighbors, and friends. In fact, Cosette is emphatically disliked by much of the town - including octogenarian Myrtle Clover. And Myrtle knows that dislike in Bradley can quickly turn deadly. No one seems surprised when Cosette's body is discovered during a party she's hosting - she was struck on the head with a croquet mallet.

As I search for a fresh start, a friend convinces me to move to his small town. Considering I don’t have a place to live, his little sister offers me her spare room. She’s every man’s dream - witty, down to earth, and gorgeous as hell - too bad she’s off-limits. Unspoken words and stolen glances have me eager to please her in all the forbidden ways. My broken past makes it hard to open up, however, she inspires me to face my demons and be the man she deserves.

I never planned on returning to Alabama, but circumstances brought me here after years of being gone. Though Lawton Ridge is my hometown, I was hesitant to go back because of her - my sister’s best friend. The last time we were together, she was 18, and I was a broken soldier transitioning to civilian life. Gemma wrote to me while I was overseas and we developed a bond I hadn’t anticipated. I crushed her heart the day I left, something I’ve never forgotten. But now that her dad is my new boss, life just got way more complicated.

I'm the only one who can save the devil from himself. Lucifer broke the curse. He unlocked my true self. Then, he sacrificed everything to protect our family. I'm going to save him, somehow...even if I have to kill him. The apocalypse is imminent. Pestilence and war have been freed. Famine is coming, and death will soon follow.

I gave up everything for Rome. The one woman I couldn't live without. But could I keep my promise and turn my back on everything? Could I really forsake being a Dom? Or will I pull her into the darkness with me anyway?

I can save the world. I just may have to ruin all of my friends’ lives in the process. Of all the people tasked with making sure the realms don’t burn and the worlds don’t end, I’m surely the most unlikely choice. Unfortunately for me, fate doesn’t care.

I've fallen for Taylor. When we first met, I was an idiot and didn't realize she was a bombshell. But when I kissed her, sparks flew. Not sparks. Fireworks. I've tried to deny my feelings for weeks, but I can't keep doing it. Relationships aren't for me, not after the way I got my heart crushed. But I can't help wondering if a relationship would be different with Taylor.Maybe it would. But then an unnecessary obstacle comes my way.

I was standing at the bar and waiting for a friend when it happened. When my life changed forever. She strutted inside with her head held high with grace, not pretentiousness. With legs that reached her neck, and an hourglass frame perfect for gripping, she got me hard instantly. And those green eyes got the rest of my body hard too.

Meet three Southern men who work hard, but play harder. Living on a ranch isn’t easy, but neither is falling in love.

Hadleigh has known the Bishop twins all her life and they’ve never crossed the lines…until now. Admitting what she feels for Knox wouldn’t be so difficult if her childhood best friend Kane hadn’t confessed his feelings for her, too. Now she’s wedged between two brothers—one she could break and one who could break her.

They lied to me. They used me. They almost broke me. But I won’t let them win. I should have known better than to trust the Reapers. Should’ve known better than to let myself feel anything for them. Beneath their possessive kisses and stolen moments lurked a dark secret—one that changes everything.

They broke the bond. But they didn’t break me. Although they left me with a gaping hole in my chest, Kian, Malix, and Frost did me a favor when they shattered our bond and left me alone in the mountains. For a moment there, I'd started to trust them. For a moment, I'd started to believe they could be changed — that I wouldn’t need to kill them to keep them from carrying out their dark mission. I'd started to believe there was something real between us.

I've secretly loved my four best friends ever since we were kids playing in the village together, but I can't have them all—and there's no way I can choose only one. Blane, the town's resident bad boy who I can't seem to resist. Roth, the scarred hero who once broke my heart. Derel, the infuriatingly sexy man I've been betrothed to my entire life. And Falon, my best friend, who has never seen me as more—or has he? When the Fire God chooses me to be his High Priestess, he demands I take four men to be my mates.

I've spent my entire life running from my past and staying out of trouble. That's how I've kept alive ever since my parents were killed by the Black Dragon, who's ruled the world under her oppressive talons for as long as anyone can remember. But it's hard to keep a low profile when four handsome strangers turn up in your village claiming you're destined to save the world. According to them, they've been chosen by the gods to become elemental dragons--and I'm their mate.

I never broke the curse...I just changed it. Now I’m forced into a partnership with Maddox, and since I can’t kill him, I have to tolerate him every day. So Sofia leaves me. I’ve sacrificed everything for her, but it’s never enough. My love for her doesn't change despite the betrayal. The torture continues.

I've found my third, and he's definitely the sin of anger. Jet has some damn rage problems, but I guess that's to be expected from a dragon shifter. Am I ready to play with fire? You bet your ass I am. Derek, one of my sins, is making good work on stirring the pot. He's trying to rip open a hole to hell and he's gotten Luke on a leash to do just that. Don't worry, I have a plan. I just hope it doesn't get everybody killed.

My fourth is a freaking vampire? Xavier is cocky, overzealous, and way too hot for his own good. He’s just what I need to stop my nightmares from coming to fruition, except he's telling me that I'm not supposed to stop the future from happening. I'm supposed to fulfill a dark prophecy. One where I'm the Queen of Hell, turned into a vampire, and I save hell itself from being destroyed.
