Timing. Hockey careers are made or broken on it, and mine has taken an exceptionally broken road. I’m not a star. I’m a grinder, I work hard, and I’m finally at the point I can put the past behind me and get the fat, long-term contract I deserve. But my agent - the man who stuck by me through every crash and burn - has had a heart attack. I need another agent now, or my one chance for the good money will slip through my fingers.

Jessika gambled and it paid off. Billionaire CEO Asher Landseer never expected her to remain in his guest home, especially after he told her to leave by morning. After her refusal to yield and his fiery passion for a challenge clashed, the resulting climax surprised both of them.

It was only a matter of time until the truth came out. I never thought it would come to this. I tried, God knows I tried to stay away from her but eventually I crossed that line and broke that trust. I could no longer go back and I sure as f--k didn't regret a single moment of it. I knew there would be hell to pay, I knew the wrath I'd be facing but I would willingly take the burns and scars just to have the love of my best friend's sister. If there is one person I'd willingly go to hell and back for it was Lillian Ryder.

It was complicated, it was also just the beginning. A decision. A simple choice. There is always that one moment in life where things could have been different. That one moment where you could have chosen a path that would lead you down a certain road. A different life. It was easier to pretend that we were still best friends, and that she was my girl and I was her boy. Pretending was better than knowing the truth. I. Ruined. Us. I had her. I lost her. I love her. All I did was complicate us.

Lucifer, the Lord of Hell, has reappeared into my life, and he owes a shit ton of alimony. Twenty-five years worth to be exact, timed from the day he walked out on me and my mother and never looked back. And I plan on making his life a living Hell until he pays up. He just smiles, ruffles my hair, and tells me I'm cute when I'm angry. But anger isn't all that's rising to the surface with this surprise reunion. The seal on my past has been broken, and the skeletons in the closet are coming out to play. Dark secrets that involve my mother and the circumstances surrounding her death.

When Jessika overhears a conversation between Solomon Royce and Beatrice Landseer - one in which the public relations director and Asher's wife discuss adultery and plans for corporate sabotage - she panics. She was - not - supposed to hear that, but now that she has what is she supposed to do? If she tells Asher his wife is planning to ruin him, will he believe her? Will Beatrice continue to deceive him and accuse Jessika of lying? What if she heard wrong? Is it better to do nothing and act like it never happened, or to try and figure out what they're up to and potentially make a fool of herself in the process?

After Solomon Royce's untoward advances and Beatrice Landseer's initial harassment, nothing can get worse for Jessika, right? Unfortunately, no, it's not that simple. When Beatrice berates Jessika's life, personality, and family, Jessika realizes this was a mistake. Agreeing to help billionaire CEO Asher Landseer with his hopes and dreams will only end in grief. But, still, is it possible to stop now? Jessika knows it is, knows she should, but whenever Asher smiles - at her and only her - she becomes resolute.

When Jessika first met billionaire Asher Landseer, CEO of Landseer Enterprises, she never anticipated becoming wrapped up in a scheme of corporate deception and cutthroat business practice. She also never expected romance or to fall in love, especially with Asher himself. But, everything that's happened, is it real? She has no time for doubts, no chance to second guess her decisions; at least not now. With Beatrice Landseer and Solomon Royce's plans revealed, the only thing left for Jessika and Asher to do is stop them.

My name is Sydney Lucas. And I am determined to make my own way in the world. Which is why I jumped at the chance to intern for Mr. Nick Brooks despite his reputation. I've been on the job one week, and he's insulted my mother, wardrobe shamed me, and managed to make me cry. But I'm not going to quit. For once in my life, I've got to make a stand. Only every time I open my mouth, I can't quite seem to muster the courage. Perhaps my revenge needs to come in another form: destroying him quietly. Because I've got a secret. I'm not really just an intern, and Sydney Lucas isn't my real name.

Phoebe is the fated priestess, a channel for magic, whether she likes it or not. A piece of golden jewelry might hold the key to a plot to suppress the priestess's true magic. Until she can find the secrets, however, she has to stay alive and keep her four guardians in line: Sir Forrest, her grumpy and reluctant but truly devoted protector; Gilbert the bard, who fell in love with the Prince of Gaermon before he discovered his true fate; Niko the Lucky Dragon, an arrogant smuggler who bows to no one but won't make a move without rolling his dice; and one who is her sworn enemy.

Taking matters into her own hands, Jessika concocts a plan to reveal the true nature of Beatrice Landseer and Solomon Royce's scheme against Asher. Unfortunately the planning stage is always easier than the actual action. Can she pull through and figure this out? If she does, will Asher despise her afterwards? What she's about to do could very well change his entire life, and not entirely for the better. How will Asher take the news that his distant wife and previously trusted public relations director are planning to destroy everything he holds dear?

They took my powers from me - for my own good, so they said - and told me not to come back to Merlin College. But you can't get rid of me that easily. After all, I still have the boys on my side. My foxy familiar Firian, tempting incubus Alec, and sexy vampire Montague - and we have an awesome summer planned in Florida. Part of the plan? Trying to get myself enrolled in a rival witch college. Not part of the plan? The part where Harris von Hapsburg Nicolescu, arrogant jerk that he is, follows us to Florida and gets seriously up in my business.

I have a special power, the ability to calm a berserker, but I’ve been warned never to use it. My mother said, “If you see a berserker in a rage…not your monkeys, not your circus. Get the hell away. They’re too dangerous, and you’ll lose your freedom.” But the thing is…we’re flying 30,000 feet in the air in a speeding aluminum cage, and there’s a berserker raging out in the aisle beside me. Security won’t be able to hold him. And if he gets a taste of blood, he’s going to rampage through the entire plane, leaving a path of death and destruction, including me.
