I hated fire. I hated how the smoke wrapped around my naked body, stinging my skin with defiant embers. I hated the smell of burnt flesh, the ashes heavy on my tongue, my charred soul like splinters deep in my chest. She’s dead, Juliet. There’s nothing else you can do.

The Corsican has kidnapped Emily. Lethally passionate, Kazimir will stop at nothing to get his lover back. Meanwhile, the Corsican is finding it difficult to hold on to this cunning woman. Paris will never be the same again. Will Kazimir save his mouse? Or will France blow up in flames?

As heir to the Summer Court, I was born to wield sunlight like a weapon. But when my father dies, the sunstone—the source of my kingdom’s power—vanishes. To claim my throne, I must retrieve it and prove my worth. Alone and desperate to save my crown, I enter the human realm…and end up rescuing two charming, infuriating thieves from the hangman’s noose.

Their first meeting could have been better. He ran into her and her hot coffee and raced off with a burn and a snarl. Their second meeting should have been better. He lay naked, face down on her massage table while she stared at him in horror. Being attracted to Mr. Tall, Dark, and Rude hadn't been on her agenda. Shelby just wants him out of her massage clinic before he recognizes her or she says something obnoxious before jumping that sexy body, which wouldn’t be professional, at all. But when Shelby Vanzant and Shane Collins meet again, third time's the charm.

The war has ended. Kazimir hopes to spend quiet time with Emily, but there are more enemies creeping within the shadows - new dangers that threaten the couple's happiness. Can the Lion and Mouse have their happy ending? Or are they destined to fight a battle that one of them may not survive?

Keep the cold. I’ve always understood my duty. As heir to the Winter Court, I must be ready to take my father’s place and keep the realm safe under a blanket of frost. But my father never taught me how to protect my people. That role has fallen to his best friend, Ronan, who agreed to serve as my guardian after my father grew ill. Charming and dangerous, Ronan hasn’t let illegitimacy or family tragedy stop his rise to power. A master of the elements, he’s a faithful ally. Until my father dies.

Cursed long ago to check their growing power, vampires can only coexist in small groups. Yet despite their many conflicts, those of the Bloode possess similar traits. All vampires, no matter from where they come, are male. They can go unnoticed by humans unless they wish otherwise, and they can’t survive sunlight. Mormo, servant of the goddess Hecate, has created a small new Bloode clan at her behest. The six vampires he commands are rough, ill-disciplined, and mean, and they fail to follow orders on a daily basis. But they’re needed. Something big and bad is coming.

Duncan has lived for over 200 years. As a vampire, he's aware there is very little that can do him harm — certainly not a sexy young witch he thought he'd seduced. Even worse, he learns she's in possession of a grimoire that has the ability to end all vampires — forever. Tasked with finding the spellbook, he'll do whatever it takes to destroy it, and he'll take pure pleasure in devouring her.

My first love died in her sleep, and I ask forgiveness every day from a God I struggle to believe in. I write poems in a basement, keep my failures and secrets to myself, and live a life that feels like a lie. A life I owe to a man I barely know. Gibson Hayes is married, wealthy, powerful, and the man who gave me my job when I came to New York. He's the most generous of billionaires and the most mysterious of men.

Ever since I was a child, my father taught me to fear the elven kingdom that borders our lands. A place of twilight and falling leaves, the Autumn Court is rumored to be beautiful and deadly. No one knows what kind of creatures live in the thick, undying forests. No one knows what haunts the shadows. But now those shadows have a name. And they’ve come for me.

 Seize the tempest. I’ve spent my life doing just that—harnessing wind and lightning to protect the vulnerable. But I’ve never quite belonged. The son of an elven mother and human father, I straddle two realms: the elven lands where I’m shunned as an outsider, and the human world where I’m viewed as useful but suspect. Forbidden to take a wife or sire children, my service as a celibate knight has given me purpose. But now, I’ve been summoned to dangerous territory.

As one of the first openly bisexual players in the NHL, I've gotten my fair share of attention from puck bunnies. Men and women alike looking for their time in the spotlight. They've taught me to be careful of who I let close. When I meet Sky in a random video game chat there's an instant connection. My instincts tell me I can trust him, but experience holds me back. When I finally decide to let him in, somehow he becomes not just my best friend, but my whole world.

Kaia has had it with her mother. Talk about touchy. Offend the sea witch and pay the price. Oy. Granted, Kaia’s last boyfriend had been an idiot, but nearly sacrificing him to a dark god had been totally unnecessary. And those deals her mother keeps making with demons to obtain more power? Not a healthy way to achieve balance.

But his job as a financial investigator for a security firm doesn't give him the thrill he needs. With his last love dead from a mission gone wrong, he doesn't need that kind of life anymore. His attention soon turns to the beautiful, shy Emma Clark, a friend of his sister who intrigues him. She's sweet, sensual, and delightfully submissive to his kisses. When Emma starts receiving unwanted attention from a secret admirer, he steps in to help.

Maggie Doran is off men, having gone through a string of poor relationships. Then like clockwork, her libido fires up over her new boss - the epitome of bad choices. The man is built like a Greek god and has a harem of eager gym groupies willing to give him anything he wants at the drop of a hat. Just one more Mr. Wrong to add to her list.

Berserker Riley Foster rescued her cousin from vampires chasing after her pack’s stolen artifact. Not long after, she’s forced to work alongside the powerful vamps to find said artifact—for their goddess? Vampires don’t worship anything but themselves, but Kraft of the Night Bloode has been sent to recover a wolf statue for his patron—the goddess Hecate. Unfortunately, the lycans are playing games. Kraft demands to work with their powerful berserker, who intrigues him to no end.
