Marriage, for some, is the ultimate goal in life. But for Garrett Caractacus, its a battle against the odds. All he wants is to marry the love of his life, Jonah Helms, and have a peaceful wedding on the sunny planet of Paradise. But when Jonahs ex-husband shows up, determined to take their son Cody away, Garrett must find new ways to fight for his family.

The rain may have stopped, but the storm is far from over for Garrett and his loved ones.

I know how this is going to end. I've seen it.

Can you imagine knowing how you die? For Cillian Kelly, its a curse he cant escape. With the ability to see peoples fates just by looking into their eyes, hes been on the run for years, trying to hide from his past filled with mistakes. But when he discovers that the man he once betrayed, S?ren Egilsson, is still alive, Cillian is determined to make things right.

However, the person he finds is not the man he once knew. S?rens body is now possessed by an ancient spirit, and Cillian must fight for the right to control S?ren's fate. As he delves deeper into this battle for power, he realizes that he may have to make the ultimate sacrifice for the man he could have loved. If Cillian isn't careful, he may lose everything—not just S?ren, but his own life.

A distant island in the blustery north holds a secret – a clan of shapeshifting sea dragons called the Agnarra, all but wiped out by humans a generation ago. For Morgan, a lone artistic soul among his practical people, life on the island is incredibly boring. That is, until a human ship explodes on the horizon, causing fear among the clan.

In the aftermath, Morgan finds a human in the water – Auban – badly injured and with no memory of his past. As Morgan nurses him back to health, he can't help but fall in love. But their love is forbidden – Morgan's people, especially his fierce older brother, would kill Auban if they knew he existed. It's up to Morgan to keep him a secret until they can find a way for him to escape the island.

But secrets never last, and neither does the Agnarra's new peace. War is coming, and Morgan must use all of his wits and Auban's help to save his clan from annihilation.

A chance for revenge turns into a fight for survival as Rafael, a former assassin, and his immortal master Xian must escape a city on the brink of chaos. But can Rafael trust the one person he thought he could count on, or will their past keep them apart?

Rafael wanted nothing more than to serve his immortal master, Xian, a High One of Clare, who taught him from an early age how to be an assassin. But after failing his final test, Rafael was turned out into the Lower City, abandoned by the one person he thought he could count on.

Years of hatred and thoughts of revenge have fueled Rafael's quest for vengeance, but when the time comes to strike at Xian, he hesitates and is taken prisoner. Rafael expects to die, but instead Xian reveals the dark truth driving the ruthlessness of the High Ones—the source of their immortality is spent. Soon the city will devolve into chaos as High Ones battle one another and the rebellious denizens of the Lower City for power and resources. Xian wants to spare Rafael that pain, just as he spared him the pain of becoming a High One a decade earlier.

Their only chance for survival is to escape Clare before civil war breaks out. Even if they make it out of the city, though, there's no guarantee that Xian will live through the agonizing process of becoming human again. They can only rely on each other…if Rafael can bring himself to once again trust the only man he's ever loved.

Detective Sawyer Villeray has his hands full. He's got a mercurial partner whose personal life is deteriorating, a semi-estranged family whose drama he can never fully escape… and now a series of murders whose only connection is their sheer weirdness.

A serious crush on the county medical examiner doesn't exactly simplify things, but at least it's fun.

Or, well, it would be if said M.E. didn't adamantly refuse to date cops. Or if his assistant wasn't quite so hostile to anyone who looked his way.

Dr. Bashir Ramin would very much like to catch a break. A date that isn't interrupted by death. A fellow pathologist who isn't a cranky jerk. A forensic assistant who doesn't gnash her teeth any time Bashir is interested in someone. And maybe, if he's lucky, an autopsy that isn't such a baffling puzzle, it leaves him wondering if he's as good at his job as he thought he was.

At this point, the annoying but cute detective is the one good thing in his world. Too bad Bashir doesn't date cops. Right?

But there's no time for romance. As the bizarre murders keep piling up, Sawyer and Bashir need to work together to stop a killer.

Ideally before one of them becomes the next target.

In a universe where Regen can prolong life and health for centuries, death from anything other than violence or accidents is rare. People work, people play, and peopleget bored. Garrett Caractacus, a terraforming scientist and coddled generals son, is doing all of those things, but the boredom is winning out. He needs a new challenge, something to take him away from the glamour and glitz of the life hes always known. Something different.

Something hard.

A trip to the Fringe world of Pandora, where hell be part of a team of scientists ensuring that the planet is livable for the colonists headed there, sounds like just the thing. The colonists are naturals—people whose bodies reject Regen, who die of everything from an injury to a disease to old age. Ugh, sounds traumatizing. Garrett resolves to stay far away from thembut a young boy named Cody and his father, Jonah, get past the walls around Garrett's heart.

Soon Garrett will have a choice to makereturn to the ease and comfort of a life in the Central System, or stay on Pandora and live, love, and make a family with people he knows wont be with him for long.
