Can I tell you a secret? I'm a chameleon shifter...and I've spent the past year posing as my 80-year-old best friend. No one can ever know what I really look like! Not even my three hot, fated mates: The sweetest bear shifter, a seductive vampire mage, and a hot troll cop who vows to protect me. If I can't keep my feelings for them hidden, my true identity will be discovered and I'll end up dead - or worse!

Two boys. One tragedy. Grief bonds us. The mystery of this murder will break us. My best friend was brutally ripped from this world, but her brother and boyfriend are still here. One of them wants to use me. The other wants to forget me. Both of them make me feel alive. We’ll find Violet’s murderer, no matter the cost. Two boys. One tragedy. Grief bonds us. Love will tear us apart.

Drugs flooding campus. Tensions brewing between the factions. Old enemies reappearing. New secrets taking over my life. Love awakening a soul I long thought was dead. Cassius, Clay, Hiro, and Royal have named me one of them, but sharing a title is easy. Can we share all that comes with it? I’ll be tested in ways I’m not prepared for — by enemies and loves alike. There’s more going on with the academy, the Horsemen, and my parent’s disappearance than I knew. What I do know is following that path will be dangerous.

I was a thief. The guys I’m falling in love with turned me into a fighter. And when the city tried to make me disappear, I rebelled. But now I know the truth.

The Brotherhood has us in their sights. The attacks are coming from everywhere and nowhere from a seemingly invisible enemy. When we discover how the Brotherhood manages to stay five steps ahead, it’s up to me to find and stop the traitor. But it requires me to revisit a place I swore I’d never go: my past. The battle for the city we love is heating up. The Brotherhood challenges the Merchants’ right to rule, and Genny and the Savage Princes don’t give a f--k. Cinco is theirs and they’ll fight to the death to protect it. And me…well, I just might be their secret weapon.

Corvak is nothing like the men on my planet. He's violent and brooding and wants nothing to do with a human female like me. But he's the only one who knows how to fight. And I refuse to be helpless when the empire comes after our planet - and it's only a matter of time until they do. I've heard the rumors about the Vandar. They travel in invisible hordes of terrifying warbirds and their menacing raiders terrorize the empire and any ship that gets in their way. I'm willing to do whatever it takes to become a warrior, even if that means convincing Corvak that I'm worthy of his attention.

Madison Wilson, a marine biologist, has recently graduated and is ready to start her adult life with her first job as a research technician in Santa Cruz. After moving to Capitola, a sweet and colorful beach town in Northern California, she is immediately enchanted by her new house, as well as her beautiful landlady, Ally. Ally Santos, a widow and single mother, is relieved to be rid of the fuss of holiday tenants, as she’s busy enough with her highly gifted son Theo and her bar, Western Shores.

Lost in a realm full of monsters, I have only myself to blame. Allie and I are finally free to share our secrets and compare notes, but we're running out of time. Between pirates, demons, and hollows, how are we supposed to get back home? Dark Falls has fallen, and my unplanned trip to the Underworld will cost me more than I could ever have imagined.

I caught the bouquet at my best friend’s wedding. I wasn’t even dating anyone, so I was sure I wouldn’t be next. Until someone from the past came back. We’d promised if neither of us were married by the time we were 30, we’d marry each other.

Agent Victoria attends a lavish wedding as a guest of the best man. Everything is perfect and in place...except the groom. Family and friends aren’t sure if they should be angry or deeply concerned, until mounting evidence suggests the groom panicked and fled. But the bride and the best man don’t believe it. They convince Victoria to find the missing groom and uncover the truth. Investigations reveal people’s dirty secrets, and the guests at this wedding have many. But even Victoria doesn’t anticipate the disturbing reality she unearths.

I’ve never forgiven myself for letting that brute drag her off my ship, and I’ve done nothing but search for his horde of warships since he let my ship go free. Everyone knows the Vandar raiders are cruel and merciless, so when my ship is attacked by another of the alien race’s warlords, I expect to be blown out of the sky. Instead, he takes me as his captive. I may be the warlord’s prize, but no way will I submit to his demands. Even if his hard body and fiery eyes ignite a desire in me like nothing have before.

Only a fool with a death wish would steal from the Townsends. And my older brother? He’s a fool. But instead of making me an orphan with the snap of his filthy rich fingers, Royce Townsend gave my brother a choice: three months. Three months to pay back what was owed. Enter Phoenix Townsend. He's the king of our new school, but I heard his name well before Ravenwood and Thornhaven merged. Still, I never trusted the rumors. That was my mistake. Phoenix really is a terrible, royal beast who ruins girls. And now, thanks to my brother, I belong to that beast for the next three months.

Cole had to flee to Faerie. His best friend Flynn—my bully and tormentor—holds all the answers. My family secrets are like a noose, slowly tightening around my neck.

It doesn’t feel like the end. It feels like all of my problems are just beginning. There’s more happening in my town of Raven River than I knew. More lies. More secrets. More pain. Enemies seen and unseen are circling, and not even my guardian angels can protect me. There’s a war coming, and I’ll fight because this time my Angels...my Horsemen...my loves...are the ones who need saving.

Dmitri, a high-end thief, is flying cross-country for a lucrative job, when the woman destined to be his mate is seated next to him. Her scent drives him to the edge, but he manages to control himself on the flight by the skin on his teeth and fate - by way of the flight being diverted because of a terrible storm.

Once upon a time...there was a little girl who believed in fairy tales and happily ever afters. Hoping. Praying. Waiting...for her prince to come. Together they’d conquer the world. Slaying dragons, demons, and villains. Until her Prince Charming let his demons prevail. She cried and begged and prayed. She hated him. She loved him. She couldn’t save him. “I’m sorry.” “I love you.” Those were five words she despised more than anything. Her fairy tale had become her worst nightmare. She didn’t know how much more she could take. She didn’t know love could turn into hate.

For most of my life, being Luna-touched was a blessing. Then I met Jack “Wicked Wolf” Walker, and it wasn’t long before it became a curse. I thought I’d be trapped in my gilded cage forever—until his long-lost daughter returned to the Wolf District, handing him his first defeat in more than 25 years. She spared his life, but our laws are clear: an Alpha who loses a challenge is no Alpha. Our pack was forced to disband, and I finally was free. Which…isn’t as great as it sounds.

It’s a common story. I’m sure you can guess how it goes. Girl winds up in the wrong place at the wrong time. She witnesses four gods of beauty and brutality murder some poor sap, and she’s stupid enough to get caught. Come on. You know what happens next. You know they tracked her...me...down.

I’ve been captured. Don’t even get me started on how pissed off I am. My rage is raging. Azrael is the most powerful vampire I’ve ever encountered, and I hate knowing I can’t beat him. He’s brought me to this creepy cave because he thinks he can synthesize a cure for vampirism from my pure Vocari blood. I think he’s insane.
Doesn’t really matter, though. If I don’t do what Azrael wants, he says he’s going to hurt my guys. I can’t allow that. With no other option, I decide to be a good little Rose until I can find a way out of this mess.
