Two rivals. One law internship. A whole lot of objectionable activity. It wasn’t always this way between us. We were best friends growing up. Competitive? Yeah. Ruthless? Definitely. Neither of us liked to lose. But the intense chemistry? That’s new. The hatred in his eyes? That’s new, too. I should let it go. There’s too much bad blood between our families. Between us. But I can’t. I don’t think he can, either. Now we’re gunning for the same internship. If he thinks I’ll back down, he’s dead wrong. Once upon a time, I lost everything. I won’t let it happen again.

I've wanted Levi ever since my friend Cole introduced us. When Levi moved to my hometown of Coral Pointe Inlet, I thought I finally had a chance to land the sexy, misunderstood man. After months of trying, though, it's clear he doesn't want me the way I want him. Putting some space between us is the only way to reclaim some of my dignity. I'll suffer through as many bad dates as it takes to get over the oblivious man. It's time to face the facts: He's never going to notice me when he's too busy looking at someone else.

Ash is technically a fire mage, but he can't do much. Turning his bedroom lights on and off without having to get out of bed isn't exactly awe inspiring, not when anyone with the right gadget could clap and do the same thing. Worse, sometimes he senses something bigger and brighter lurking under his skin, and it feels so familiar he knows it has to be his magic, but then he burps or sneezes, and the feeling passes. So it's probably just allergies . . . or gas. Yeah . . . Not exactly brimming with magical oomph. Not anymore. It sucks.

When half-human Kai Schiffer steps into the Interstices—the post-creation gaps between realms—his supernatural half kicks in, and he literally disappears unless…well, don’t ask. But in a stroke (heh) of good fortune, Kai finally has a chance to show his face (and other parts, stars willing) to his long-time crush Jovan Kos—Interstitial Law Enforcement agent, wolf warrior, occasional berserker, and best man at their mutual best friends’ Imbolc wedding. Jovan is grateful his best man duties are light enough that he can focus on Kai. After all, what could possibly go wrong?

Owen Flynn never expected to get an invite to his former boy's wedding, and he sure didn't have any intention of showing up alone. Enter Keegan Richards. Keegan had always found Owen attractive, but he had never seriously considered dating a man. But when he overhears Owen saying he needs a date for his ex's wedding, he thinks that sounds like the perfect opportunity to get to know the handsome older man, and maybe to explore a few of the things he's been wondering about.

And as weeks pass, it becomes clear those not-so-innocent parts are the ones Gray is determined to explore with me. I can't resist him, and pretty soon I'm forced to admit that I'm not as done with my crush as I thought I was . . .

That is until the king decides to get him out of the way—by marrying him off. To me.
