Smoke would kill me if he knew all the dirty, depraved things I want to do to his little sister. For years, I’ve been forced to look and not touch. She’s been mine since the first time I saw her, even if she doesn’t know it. But when yet another threat to the club comes out of the woodwork, I decide I’ve had enough. No more waiting. Life’s too damn short. If only it was that simple, but we’ve got enemies coming at us from all directions.

I didn't know what I was getting into when I stumbled out of the bar and into bed with the not-so-innocent girl of my wet dreams. Our one night together made me question everything. But when she snuck out of bed before I could ask her to stay, I figured I'd never see her again. If they knew, my biker brothers would never let me live down the way I've tried to find her for a repeat. Turned out I didn't need to go to the trouble because she found me… And her secret's about to change everything.

All it takes is one glance and I know Jordan is going to be mine. Her sweet smile and infectious energy make me feel alive again. She chases away the shadows, giving me a reason to continue on. But just as I’m beginning to win the elusive beauty over trouble comes for my family. I may be a veteran with PTSD and a member of a notorious motorcycle club, but both have given me skills that allow me to address any threat and win. I refuse to let my past dictate my future, and convincing Jordan to trust me is a matter of life and death.

I’m tired. My life has been filled with disappointments, sadness, and pain. I’m hated by everyone besides my best friend. Until the captain of the hockey team falls on top of me. His eyes are as blue as the ice he plays on, and his smile fills me with warmth I’ve never felt before. Shane Hawkins. The man everyone’s friends with, now has me in his sights and he’s not showing any signs of letting me go. Even through my anxiety and messed up mind, he’s still there. And I don’t understand why.

Infuriating, sexy and seemingly everywhere, Penn Barnett is far too sexy for his own good. It seems like every woman in Rockhead Point has had a taste of the mountain man, and I can definitely see the appeal. When I literally fall into his orbit, he tells me I'm his the moment our eyes meet. But my life is anything but simple, and right now I just don't have the time or energy for another complication in my world no matter how hot he is. Only he isn't prepared to take no for an answer and he's determined to make me his.

Nate just wants to be left in peace to study without his brother Harrison’s hockey teammates hanging around and getting on his nerves. Until he sees a familiar tattoo on a gay dating app belonging to the hockey team’s tough guy Jesse. When Harrison asks him to tutor Jesse for a class he is failing, maybe Nate can discover if it really is Jesse on that app? Jesse is used to being called dumb, but being tutored by his captain’s younger brother in a subject he doesn’t even study is humiliating.

I had love once and lost it. Never again. That’s why I told myself she’s off limits—forbidden. It doesn’t matter that she’s as sexy and courageous as she is unexpected. Or that I can’t get her out of my mind. I’m not her happily ever after. So, I’ll help her investigate why people are going missing in the desert. But I’ll keep my hands—and my heart—to myself.

I was able to hide the bruises from everyone... until an MMA fighter came along. Now he'll die to protect me. Maybe even kill... He insists I stay with him for protection, but Damian is keeping his own dark secrets and warns me that anyone who gets close to him will be in danger…Worse, my assailant is determined to finish what he started.

There’s nothing more important than family. It’s what I live for, what I’ve always lived for. So, when I’m forced to step back from the one girl I’m dying to claim as my own, it wrecks me. But when family asks you to keep a secret, you do it. No questions asked. I only hope that when the truth comes to light, the woman I can’t get out of my head gives me another chance. A chance to show her I could be her knight in beat-up leather if only she’d let me.

It only took one look to know I was a goner. I’d never be able to forget the sweet smile and sinful curves I’d only glimpsed before she’d been ripped away. The girl in the desert was a prisoner, and I was going to set her free. All it would take was infiltrating a dangerous cult. No big deal, right? Except I’d be going in alone. Without my motorcycle club brothers riding at my back, it was up to me to get her out. Getting into the cult will be easy. Convincing her to trust me will be something else entirely…

One of the hardest lessons I've learned is that the only thing I need is hockey—because hockey has never let me down, never abandoned me. What I lack in my personal life, I make up for with my professional achievements. I’m damn proud of the career I’ve had in the NHL and have no plans of stopping or jeopardizing it by coming out. That is until I meet Sterling. He does the unthinkable, he gives me hope, makes me wish for more… and then dashes those hopes and wishes to dust.

I don’t do commitment. And though I swing both ways, I don’t do men either. It’s too messy, too stressful, and just asking for trouble. I’d rather shine bright like the sun than drown in the rain, so I adopt a pounce-and-bounce lifestyle for which my sparkling charm keeps me from being hated. When I show up in Sweden for a semester abroad, I expect a roomie. What I don’t expect is Lars. The storm to my sun.

Danny tried the relationship thing, and it ended violently. He has no desire to let another alpha close enough to hurt him…especially not an intimidating stranger like Knox. Knox has never been called patient. He's grumpy and stubborn, and he's afraid he'll inadvertently push Danny further away. But when a rogue wolf pack threatens the omegas of Grizzly Ridge, Danny must trust Knox if he wants to escape with his life—and heart—intact.

My innocence is gone. My father is dead. And I'm no longer the girl who was forced to marry a hitman. I'm stronger. For the last five years I've been running from both my sisters vengeful anger, and from my husband's intense obsession. When Gaven finally captures me, I have no other choice but to use him the same way he always planned to use me. The closer I am, the more information I have, the safer we both are. So, I'll take his punishment for leaving. I'll take his pain and his pleasure.

"Who did this to you?" my enemy growls. You would think the most wanted criminal kingpin in the country would be too busy racking up bodies to care about the bruise on my cheek, but nope. Here he is, holding my chin, while I pretend his touch isn’t electric. I need to hate him. Scratch that, I will hate him again. The guy decimated my family, and I've been hunting him ever since, determined to make him pay. That one night we accidentally spent together before we discovered we were sworn enemies was great.

I survived a deployment because of her letters, so there's nothing I wouldn't do for her now... I was fully prepared to come home in a box. In the dust of Afghanistan, I’d accepted that my life was worth exactly as much as the brothers standing beside me. But then the packages started arriving. My buddy's little sister quickly became my only tether to a world that made sense. And her letters kept me from losing my mind when the world went dark.

It's scary how much life can change in an instant. One minute I'm preparing for a new school year in my San Diego town, and the next I'm being ripped from my childhood home. Making the cut from my father's death two years ago that much deeper. Not only am I being forced to leave a place that reminds me so much of him, but I'm being forced to move hundreds of miles across the country to a city I've only learned about through Mom and social media.

They've made it through the Iron Dungeon but not without a heavy cost, mentally and spiritually, for Jeb. His madness once again flared up, instigated by the revelation some of his soldiers have been pulled into the Crucible of War, and yet, they still have no clue where humanity will land, in which deranged City they will be shoved into, and if it is not Blood City, how they will get to them?

Bear shifter Everett has found his fated mate, but he'll have to defeat another alpha to keep him. When Milo’s date sprouts fangs and tries to bite him, he flees into the nearby forest and ends up lost. The gorgeous man who rescues him seems too good to be true…until Milo discovers his secret. Everett knows the human omega is his fated mate, but the last thing Milo needs is another alpha shifter trying to claim him so soon after his traumatic experience.
