When a wedding party forces Eve and Gabe into tight quarters, keeping their hands off each other will be as hard as keeping their clothes on. The need that draws them together is stronger than the forces that should shove them apart . . . but their sparks may not survive the explosion when long-buried secrets are finally unearthed.

Rescuing Moira

Hi there...Hmmm, no, that doesn’t work. Hey...Not quite. Howdy...Good lord, what am I? A cowboy? ’Sup? Yeesh. Whatever. Let me just get right into it. I’m Waverly. There, that wasn’t so hard. I’m not going to blabber on about how strong and fierce I am, or proceed to tell you how broken or damaged I’ve become. No, I’m just going to tell you that I’m me. Just me. Waverly. I am all of those things, but I’m also so much more. I’m helping a club—a club that needs me to bring peace back into its world. If you had asked me if I’d be working for a biker club six months ago, I would have simply laughed in your face. I mean, a biker club? Come on. Yet here I am, doing the unthinkable. Penetrating the deepest, darkest parts of that world, pretending to be something I’m not. I’ve got this, though. That is one thing about me you should know—I won’t let them down. I won’t crack under the pressure. I won’t break, no matter how much horror I see. There are lives at stake; there are people who need me. Not a single thing will distract me from the mission I’m on. At least, that was what I first thought. Until I didn’t. Now I’m tangled up in a world I can’t even begin to understand. Now I’m dealing with feelings that are foreign to me. Feelings for a monster. Feelings for an angel. This is a literal battle between good and evil, and I'm living it. Who are these men, you ask? You’re just going to have to start from the beginning.

He’s here to take down my family, and I’m ready to help him do whatever it takes to end the Volkov Bratva.

Gage I promised my family I could end this. This is my last chance to prove to them I am good enough to be more than Tony’s bastard. I’ll burn the Bratva to the ground and prove to them all I am just as worthy of the last name Murdoch. Getting in is easy—getting out is going to be nearly impossible, because I found something worth fighting for. She is someone I shouldn’t want to keep: the enemy’s heir; her father and uncle killed my brother. I see my Redemption in her eyes; the hardest part of all of this is I need to use her in order to win the biggest game of my life.

Touring as an opening act for a huge rock band and landing a record contract means you’ve hit the big time, right?

Will the charming and ridiculously hot rock god help her find her feet, or send her further down the rabbit hole? One thing was for sure; both of them were in for the ride of their lives.

Hollow Boys

The Lies We Steal

As the newly anointed king of the Underworld, I've worked hard to clean up the mess left behind by my predecessor. The realm is in relative peace at the moment, my main focus now on deciding the fate of recently departed souls. It's a tediously boring task, and honestly, one I despise doing. But just when I think I can't stand another moment of the monotony, one soul changes it all. Nyssa McKnight earned her ticket to Hell. She made her choices and even at the prospect of eternal damnation, she doesn't seem to regret the actions that led her here. I can tell by her utter defiance that life has hardened her, a trait that has carried over to her in death. She should be begging me for mercy but instead calls me a "big old winged bat". I should toss her right into The Crimson River for her insolence but instead I think I'll keep her in servitude. While I struggle to reconcile the intrigue—and attraction—I have for this human, I am forced to spend my days investigating rumors of an uprising in the Underworld. Unfortunately, my desire to keep Nyssa has provided a weak spot for the rebellious Dark Fae looking to gain control, one they're quick to act on. Now, with Nyssa in danger and my throne threatened, I will stop at nothing to restore order, even if it means letting her go.

Chronicles of the Stone Veil

The Midnight Realm

Life as I knew it ended the day I accepted my fate. In its place is an existence even the wildest imagination could never fathom. Strange creatures walk among us, plotting our demise, and I've come to find that the fate of our world rests squarely on my shoulders. We're all in danger and I'm trying to figure out how to make it through each day. The key to my survival is a man I can't figure out. As dangerous as the darkest fae, I have no choice but to work with him to stop the prophecy that's foretold to be the ruination of mankind. Carrick Byrne continues to be my only source of information, but he doles it out as he sees fit. He intrigues and scares me in equal measure, yet I can't help but be attracted to him. And the more I discover about him, the more it becomes clear he feels the same. As we travel to Faere in search of answers, we find that every piece of information leads to more questions, that every question leads to a new piece of the puzzle, and that, most importantly, no one can be trusted. The more secrets we uncover, one thing is certain—if we have any chance of saving the world, we have to do it together.

A Discovery of Secrets and Fate

Beneath the deepest parts of Ponderosa Springs lied secrets that we never meant to be uncovered. Blood has soaked the hands of those we trusted most. Decrepit intentions finally come to light. And now truths are ready to be incinerated in the open for everyone to witness. I was ready to watch this town that made me the villain rot in front of my eyes, but it seems ghosts don't stay buried here. Everyone's favorite sweetheart has returned to Hollow Heights dragging nothing but unanswered questions and grim memories behind her. A distraction I can't afford with the police sniffing around. A mistake that torched my last piece of humanity. The dirty little secret that has returned searching for closure surrounding her sister's mysterious death. But I know the innocent, lost girl is an act. They all are eating from the palm of her hand, puppets on her string. But not me. I see her for what she truly is, I always have. A fake. A manipulator. A liar. I won't let her ruin all we have worked for. I refuse to let her derail our plan of vengeance. I've played your game once before, Sage, now it's time to play mine. And you're not making it out without getting burned. Contains mature themes.

The Truths We Burn

Evil is coming. A dark malevolence the likes of which this world has never seen, and it comes straight from the depths of Hell. Darkness meant to destroy. A prophecy I am fated to fulfill but will most likely not survive. Through it all, Carrick Byrne has stood strong by my side. Something has deeply changed between me and the man I once despised, and all it took was a kiss of provocation for both of us to feel it. I know deep in my soul we're being guided by destiny, but I don't know if I can trust it. Carrick is holding something back, and I fear the consequences could be deadly once his truth is revealed. We're not ready, but calamity waits for no woman. I have discovered a power within myself I must learn to master. A new connection in the Underworld has been revealed to me, one that I hope is friend but is just as likely foe. We are in a race against time as we try to figure out how to stop the end of the world from occurring. The battle is coming, and I can only hope we're prepared for what happens next.

Maximum

I've always been a good girl, a rule follower. At least until I started working for billionaire bachelor Knox Crawford. Owner of LA's pro soccer team. And my ex's dad. The more time we spend together, the harder it is to fight our growing attraction. And the easier it is to forget our roles, to ignore the fact that I used to date his son. Sleeping with the boss could get me fired. But sleeping with my ex's dad could tear my life apart. Breaking the rules only seems fun—until you get caught. Contains mature themes.

the Tempt

Temptation

My secrets are infested with infatuation. His cravings are dripping in blood. Is it love? Or is it something much darker . . . An obsession. Death found me as a young girl. Latching onto the core of my soul. No one knows what that horrid night did to me. What kind of monster it flourished inside me. I'd become a ghost, hiding from the world so that people would never find out about the morbid desire I harbor. Until he noticed me. Thatcher Alexander Pierson: Cunning. Sharp. Beautiful. A man bred from the seed of a serial killer. Stitched together with old money and Dolce & Gabbana clothing. He is my strongest fixation. My sweetest, darkest addiction. And I'm his phantom. I have haunted him my entire life and now? He sees me for exactly what I am. A killer. I sicken him. But he has always mesmerized me. When a copycat murderer prowls among the trees of Ponderosa Springs, our loyalty is tested. It had been foolish of us to believe our revenge would go unpunished. That the town wouldn't retaliate after what we did. With our lives hanging in the balance, Thatcher and I have no choice but to coexist. In the twilight of musty cabins and haunted library towers, my somber secrets are exposed, and his cravings are revealed. So the question is . . . What is love without obsession? Contains mature themes.

The Blood We Crave

Living an idyllic life in Wyoming, Thalia Clairmont is completely unaware that her world is about to be turned upside down. My name is Thalia Clairmont and I am heir to the throne of Vyronas. A title that was unknown to me after the love of my life, Bastien Dunne, had me stripped of my memories and sent me through the veil into another dimension. He maintains it was for my protection after my parents were killed and our kingdom was overthrown, but I see it as a betrayal. Overwhelmed by my feelings of both love and anger for Bastien, I quickly understand that things aren't what they once were. Vyronas is at war and an evil sorceress has claimed my throne by casting her blood magic to subjugate my people. With my memories returned, I realize Bastien isn't the man I once loved and has instead become a distant, hardened warrior whose heart is as cold as ice. My magic alone cannot defeat the blood sorcery, so I delve into the deepest shadows to find a way to regain control of my kingdom. Can I defeat evil without succumbing to the darkness? And will Bastien and I be able to reclaim the love we once shared? I am the Shadow Princess and it's time for me to reclaim my throne.

The Shadow Princess

It's time to meet my destiny. Kymaris has everything she needs to bring down the veil between Earth and the Underworld. If she's successful in completing the ritual, Earth will be darkened by evil. Demons will swarm our lands and the human race will be decimated. It's up to me to stop her. My fate is to thwart the prophecy, but I'm not sure what to do. While I may have some gifts, I am still merely a human facing the queen of the Dark Fae who holds unimaginable power. But I have something she doesn't. Something she could never comprehend. I have love. Deep, abiding love which gives me the strength and courage to face down evil. Family, friends, and unexpected allies, who will stand shoulder to shoulder with me against this enemy. Should I fail, they are prepared to go down with me, but only after we have given our all. My sacrifice may destroy everything I am. Fate may require my demise. But if that happens, I will leave this realm without regret, knowing that I have loved and been loved in return.

The Rise of Fortune and Fury

With every piece that falls into place for the queen of the Underworld, Kymaris gains strength and power that will make it more difficult to defeat her when the time comes. It feels as if we're in a desperate race to get just one step ahead of her, but my demise feels closer than it ever has before with still so much to do. The first order of business is to unlock the angelic powers with which I was gifted at birth, and Carrick insists on getting help from my archnemesis to do so. Yes, I have to save the world, but my priority has now become rescuing my sister from the Underworld. While there are many questions still to be answered about my long-lost twin, I know I will not win this battle without her by my side. In the midst of all the doom and gloom, Carrick has become my beacon of shining light. Our connection unimaginable, my heart recognizes his as the other half of its whole. Inexplicable and deeper than one could ever imagine, the love I hold for him is forged by destiny, however ill-fated it may turn out to be. And those are the feelings I must hold close . . . to keep me going. Because a painful lesson is on the horizon—betrayal never comes from your enemies.

A Battle of Blood and Stone

A feud that spans thousands of years. There is a hatred born of betrayal and rooted deep throughout the centuries and I loathe him simply because of his ties. That will never change no matter the circumstances we find ourselves in. They say there is a thin line between love and hate. While bad blood may have started in our home realm of Brevala long before I was ever born, I am expected to stand strong with my people against our sworn enemies. And given that we're both immortal Light Fae, we have centuries ahead of ourselves to continue hating each other. A clash of rivals the world never saw coming. An unexpected favor leads us into dangerous territory as we travel from modern day Seattle, to the realm of Faere. If our families learn what we have done, we risk our safety. If we admit to ourselves what we've done, we risk our hearts. Throughout the years, we have stoked the flames of anger, but this carnal inferno might just burn us all.

The Clash of Yesterday

The baby isn’t the biggest secret… Diana never even knew his name. One impulsive, out-of-character night with a smoking hot firefighter, and now she’s a struggling single mom. She may have had to give up her dreams, but she’s determined to give her precious baby Beth everything—including a chance to know her biological father. When a twist of fate lets Diana track the firefighter down at last, she’s braced for him to run screaming—not sweep her into his arms and hold her like he’ll never let go. Yet, she can’t escape a nagging feeling that it’s all too good to be true. Is it just her anxiety disorder…or something more? 1. Rescue mate 2. Claim mate 3. Catch newfound daughter (who turns into an adorable, alarmingly fast pegasus) yet again …were not on Callum’s to-do list for the day. Now, he’s flying blind without a plan, and only one thing is certain. Diana and Beth are his, and he’ll do anything to keep them. Even if that means hiding the truth. It’s not just that he’s a pegasus shifter (though that’s hard enough to explain). How could Diana trust him to be a good father if she knew about the crippling curse of his special power? Or the hidden pain in his past? And as if his personal demons weren’t enough, there’s the literal demons stalking his fire crew—if Diana knew any of it, she’d bolt even faster than little Beth. Especially if she discovered the biggest secret of all… He might not be Beth’s father.

Wildfire Pegasus

For centuries, I've traveled the realms, fighting wars, providing peace, causing havoc, and everything in between. I've also sown my wild oats across those realms, taking pleasure when and where it's offered. It's a work hard, play harder lifestyle but I'm just the demigod to do it. Zora is the god of Life but before that she was a mortal held captive, growing up without love or affection. Raised in the pits of Hell, she was a pawn in a sinister plan to destroy the world. Tossed into the life of an immortal deity, Zora is understandably closed off and confused about who she is and where she fits in. But the one place she fits perfectly is in my bed and the more time I spend with her, the more I'd like to keep her there permanently. My attempts to win over the ethereal beauty are thwarted when a nefarious plan begins to unfold, leaving Zora missing and me scrambling to solve a mystery no one saw coming. As an immortal, time is of little importance but becomes a precious commodity where saving Zora is concerned. I've lived centuries never knowing true love, but I know one thing with absolute certainty—Zora is what I need to complete my eternal life. Now I need to make sure she lives long enough to realize the same about me.

The Ruin of Gods

He knows he's always been a wolf. He's wrong. His past is gone, dead and buried. It isn't. And nothing, nothing, is more important than the pack. Until he meets her. This is Fenrir's story. Haven't yet fallen in love with the Wildfire shifters? If you love shifter romance filled with humor, heart, and magic, grab the Wildfire Crew now!

Wildfire Hellhound

Will obsession be enough? I'd always believed my love was enough to save him. To protect him. I was wrong. The Copycat killer gets closer every day, and I can't help but feel his every move is in my direction. With dead ends around every curve and bodies piling up, it seems our time is running out. They took him from me. Stole the last bit of light and left him empty. Now, it's not only the Hollow Boys who are seeking revenge. I'm out for blood. A war path for vengeance. They wanted a villain? I'll give them one. Contains mature themes.

The Blood We Crave: Part Two

I always knew I was different. From a young age, my mind has been plagued with things only I could see. Never knowing if these visions were real or just hallucinations, I learned how to lock them down and ignore them. I learned to take solace in the relative anonymity of city life and find peace in the rainy days my city of Seattle is known for. But just when I think my life is getting on track and my dreams are achievable, a moment of weakness causes me to learn a hard and fast lesson. My entire existence has been a lie. Now I'm faced with a new reality that's as implausible as it is fantastical. Filled with realms and veils, light and dark, fae and daemons, gods and angels—things I don't understand but am forced to acknowledge. It doesn't help that the man teaching me about my unique gifts is the gorgeously handsome Carrick Byrne, one of Seattle's richest and most powerful men. He intimidates, annoys, and intrigues me all at the same time. I don't trust him and yet there's no one else to help me. No longer certain who to put my faith in, what to believe, or how I fit into it all, one revelation is clear . . . The world as I know it will never be the same again.

The Revelation of Light and Dark

If you had millions of people look up to you and wanting to be like you, would you tell them how broken you really are? I'm a beauty and fashion influencer with millions of fans and admirers. Sadly, my love life is catastrophic as the men I attract are either married, addicts, cheating bastards, closeted gay guys, or self-centered billionaires. Now, I've come to Indonesia, to help my brother, Maximum, who works with orphans. He says I depend too much on material things and that my time here will give me a new perspective on life. My highlight so far has been meeting Noah Parker, a carefree surfer from Norway who is the exact type of man I usually avoid. He's got no style or connections, and worst of all, he oozes sexual confidence which makes me nervous. He might be the perfect candidate to help me break my negative pattern, but what will happen if he learns how broken I really am? Contains mature themes.

Georgette Adams is trouble incarnate. Spoiled, sassy, smart . . . and the President's only daughter. Getting summoned to a meeting at the White House felt like an honor—until I caught the catch. I'm the newest member of her security detail. Not only for this summer in DC, but once she leaves for Stanford in the fall as well. Her safety is my responsibility. Trouble is, the only place Georgie respects any rules is on the tennis court. Our priorities clash and our personalities conflict, yet somehow—the more time we spend together, the less it feels like work. But my job description doesn't include making her laugh or enjoying our conversations. And it definitely doesn't involve broken rules or blurred lines. My only job? Is to serve.
