HERCULES IS BACK. AND YOU'RE BOUND TO LOVE HER. In this hotly anticipated follow-up to Jasmine Mas’s BLOOD OF HERCULES, the stakes are higher and the villains darker than ever… Every hero has their monsters. And Alexis is bound to hers: tied eternally, irrevocably to the Underworld’s dark...

My bride. The daughter of my enemy. She's nothing more than a part of my revenge. I'm the one who holds her life in my hands. As well as her body. And soon, her very will. Yet, she refuses to break. This woman disarms me, not with weapons but with words. And not with a fist, but with a simple kiss. But a match made in hate can have no other ending except war.

Fate has a wicked sense of humor. When I was sixteen, I met the love of my life in magic school. He'd appear exactly once a year at the annual masquerade ball, then vanish... Fast forward to the present: to the night I’m attacked and my hidden wolf emerges. As it turns out, I’m a freakin’ hairy, tail-wagging, shape-shifting werewolf so instead of returning to the human world after graduating, I’m dragged to Moon Valley to control my inner beast. Only problem is, I’m not just a wolf. And someone wants me dead because of it.

I think I've made a terrible mistake… The auction was supposed to be simple—thirty days of my life for enough money to save my family. What did I get instead? Eva Novak. An arms dealer. A coldhearted criminal. The most dangerously beautiful woman I've ever seen. She steals me away to a castle that belongs to nightmares, where the villagers in the town below cross themselves when she passes by and whisper warnings about women she's made disappear. Eva's touch makes me forget I should fear her, but she doesn't just want my body.

After our parents' accident, I vowed to pay for my brother's college, but with my mounting debt, I couldn't even afford my own life, let alone his. I needed cash. Fast. An auction. One night. No feelings. No strings attached. I just needed enough to get by until my new job started. A million dollars. A perfect, unforgettable night. It seemed like the solution to all my problems. Until I showed up for my first nanny job... and the same, deliciously hot older woman answered the door.

Marisol Soltero's life is built on big scores and fast women. From her nightclub she rules over the Humboldt Park neighborhood of Chicago with ruthless calculation. Though everyone knows her as the Queen of Humboldt, Marisol lives part of her life in the shadows. Governor Sabrina Sloane has spent her life cleaning up the streets, first as State's Attorney in Chicago and then as Governor of Illinois. Every criminal to cross her path has ended up behind bars-except one. When that criminal saves her life, she's forced to shine new light on everything she thought she knew.

Six years ago, her brother left me at the altar. I bundled up my veil along with my stupid dreams of a picture-perfect small town life, and I headed back to the city. I vowed to never leave again, but when the promotion of a lifetime at my interior design firm hangs on returning to the charming tourist town of La Cloche, I decide to brave the ghosts of heartbreak past. I never thought I'd be designing for her.

I knew better than to go to that party. I would have been much happier curled up at home eating Halloween candy by myself, but I had Mom’s voice in my head telling me to make an effort now that I was in college, to put myself out there and socialize. If I’d stayed home, I wouldn’t have met him.

Witches follow many laws, but Angela Norwood loves breaking the rules. She can get away with it too, if she stays focused. When your arcane research could get you thrown on a pyre, you shouldn’t entertain distractions. That includes the demon who just joined the Court of Chains, and whose mocking comments and stares are fueling some highly inappropriate fantasies. There’s nothing Vex hates more than witches, and gorgeous, untouchable Angela Norwood is the most detestable witch of all. With her provoking smirks and secret intentions, the Chains witch has turned into an all-consuming fixation.

The Gods split the skies and rained down tyranny upon the mortal realm long ago. Ever since then, the only thing worse than being human is being of Divine Blood. For someone like me—an undocumented God child, indebted to the Underworld Assassination Guild—that means only one thing: A life in the shadows. Or so it should have been . . . until Mortal Gods Academy. Until them.

All it took was one look to end my life...because one look is all it takes to trigger a werewolf's mate hunt. And when a wolf is hunting, he doesn't stop until his mate either dies or becomes a wolf too. Now I'm trapped in some guy's house, he's stuck in his wolf form, and there's no way out for either of us.

Welp. It's official. The entire hockey team knows I'm a virgin. And who do I have to thank for telling them about my v-card? Theodore Taylor, a.k.a. my brother's best friend and the pain in my butt since third grade. Then again, I'm kind of sick of this thing. My virgin status, that is. It's probably time I get rid of it. Which would be a heck of a lot easier if Theo hadn't made it his mission to be my own personal chastity belt for the foreseeable future. Which leaves me screwed. In every way except the literal sense. Lovely.

I told myself I'd never return. But my sister's life is on the line, and Eva Novak knows it. She drags me back into her world with an offer I can't afford to refuse. Forbidden fantasies are waiting in her eyes, in her hands, in the ways she claims me. And she seems to be changing. Softening. Blooming around the thorns. Every wicked promise she whispers leaves me craving the one thing I should fear the most… Belonging to her completely. But loving her doesn't just risk my heart. It risks my family. It risks my life.

Evie is trapped. Held captive by the vampiric Court of Night, she has experienced nothing but pain and terror for over a year. Treasured for her rare and delectable blood, Evie knows she will never see the outside of the dark estate that is her prison. She is fated to be forever ruined by cruel monsters. Her freedom is a concept lost.

Piper Sutton is looking for love, and it's not going well. After a string of dates, all she's left with are odd stories to tell her friends, family, and strangers at the doctor's office. But when an unfortunately timed message leads her to August Carmichael, she wonders if her luck is changing. After years off the dating scene, August is ready to get back out there—and an anonymous dating app is the way she's going about it. Despite her best friend's luck with the app, August isn't expecting miracles. However, when the first woman she meets is Piper, things start looking up.

Assassin Scarlett Fletcher is supposedly dead. Lyssa intends to make it so. Just... not yet. Lyssa, the Wolf of the Styx Syndicate, has a simple plan. Hide her enemy-turned-uneasy-ally, train her up, and use her to take down Grandmother. Then Lyssa will follow through on the kill order and end the assassin once and for all. But nothing to do with Scarlett has ever been simple.

Commanding my family's empire is an honor, yet the thoughts I have about this woman? Anything but. However, she's the one woman I shouldn't pursue. She intrigues me, and not just because of her refusal to speak. It's the quiet rebellion she exhibits in every nuanced movement and pointed look. Like a siren, her behavior calls to me but leaves me unsure whether to protect, punish, or pleasure her.

Back-up plans are for people who plan on losing. All it took was eight seconds for me to win the biggest competition of my life, and one second to lose everything except that championship buckle. I had left my family's cattle ranch at eighteen with no intention of ever coming back for good. Now I was back, stuck in a wheelchair with a beautiful disaster attempting to burn my house down.

I'll see you in Chicago. Those words echoed in Marisol Soltero's mind as she sprinted across Bogota. Back in Chicago, she waited outside Governor Sabrina Sloane's luxury condo, needing to see the woman she loved return to safety. But Sabrina didn't return. Not to Chicago and not to Marisol. That was six months ago. Now a series of disappearances in Humboldt Park provide the distraction Marisol needs. Her people are going missing. Snatched off the street right under her nose. Clues are sparse, but Marisol's gut tells her the culprit is her old enemy.

Twisted, unhinged, insane—all words used to describe Gage Presley by those closest to him. A pretty boy with a face that misleads you. He’s one of the deadliest members of The Family. Five years ago, his possessiveness and insane jealousy over a girl unleashed his crazy and in the wake of his retaliation, he was given the choice: prison or the United States Marines.
