Before the heir to the throne of Rajpur can become the emir, the law states that he must shift into his wolf in front of the sixteen council members, something Kamir has never been able to do.

Not that Kamir ever expected to live long enough to see this day. Despised by his father for his compassion and desire to bring peace to their land, he knew that the moment another son was born to replace him, he would forfeit his life.

But suddenly Kamirs father, a bully both at home and abroad, died fighting a losing war before that could happen.

Needing to protect Rajpur from his tyrannical uncle, even if it means his own death, Kamir attends the pre-coronation ceremony. Enduring a gluttonous feast of food, wine, and pleasure-slaves when his people are starving only cements how important it is that Kamir succeed.

Tsaria was sold by his father to a brothel when he was ten years old. Now nine years later, he must gain the interest of the emir, or risk being sold at the Market of Lost Souls.

He will be forced to take fever white until he becomes addicted and then he won’t care what he has to do to get his next fix.

Tsaria would rather die.

Neither man expects a miracle.

One expects to die, and the other prefers to.

But it isn’t a wolf that saves them both that day.

It’s a dragon.

Lark Hughes is the kind, sweet, and outgoing veterinarian who owns Toute la Famille, a non-profit veterinary clinic on the outskirts of Philadelphia. Its a typical night for Lark, working a late shift at the clinic, when one of the players from the Divine Flyers soccer team arrives with his golden retriever rescue, Pickles.

He clearly takes them both by surprise when he asks her out. Hes attractive and kind and makes her insides feel like theyre melting. So why does she say no?

Unfortunately for Lark, the answer isnt a simple one. The fact that her father owns The Divine Flyers is a blip on her radar compared to the real issue.

Her crappy boyfriend, Tyler.

Gianni Amato-De Laurentiis is a shy, thoughtful, and compassionate soccer player with several hidden talents. But hes just never felt quite right. Hes had a long battle with depression, and when his best friend, Alex Casillas, passes away in a motor vehicle accident, his whole world is turned on its axis.

It was already hard enough for Gianni to make it through life with Alex. How is he supposed to continue without him?

Once Lark makes it out from under the roof of her cheating ex and into the arms of Gianni– whos more than happy to do the things her ex never would– is it possible that she could help him too?

They each share their battles: Lark with her type 1 diabetes and Gianni with his depression. Through unlikely friendships, therapy, tons of paint, just about every musical instrument under the sun, and, of course, Gloria De Laurentiiss Always Smutty in Philadelphia book club, can Gianni and Lark find their way to the happy ever after they deserve?

Even Corayne an-Amarat can feel it, tucked away in her small town at the edge of the sea.

She soon discovers the truth: She is the last of an ancient lineage—and the last hope to save the world from destruction. But she won’t be alone. Even as darkness falls, she is joined by a band of unlikely companions:

A squire, forced to choose between home and honor.

An immortal, avenging a broken promise.

An assassin, exiled and bloodthirsty.

An ancient sorceress, whose riddles hide an eerie foresight.

A forger with a secret past.

A bounty hunter with a score to settle.

Together they stand against a vicious opponent, invincible and determined to burn all kingdoms to ash, and an army unlike anything the realm has ever witnessed.

She’s keeping a secret…

He’s not giving up…

The youngest Farsay, Clemson, is off to college. She finally has a chance to live independently on her terms and in her no-nonsense style, but she may have bitten off more than she can chew, with a rigorous academic, athletic, and social calendar.

Something’s got to give.

When she’s faced with losing her scholarship, she has to turn to unconventional means to earn her tuition money, and fast. Of course, that’s when she meets the man of her dreams, only adding to her already-complicated life.

Luke Allen is a successful marketing powerhouse. He has everything going for him but no one to share it with…until he meets an intriguing college coed and decides to pursue her with the same determination he does everything else.

But something’s holding Clemson back from truly investing in a relationship with Luke, and he can’t figure out what her game is—until they find themselves in the same place at the same time, and everything suddenly makes sense to him in all the wrong ways.

Will he give her a chance to explain her situation? Will she finally open up to him?

Clemson and Luke’s story—the final in the Bombshells of Brentwood collection—awaits.

To living free.

Held captive after a failed attack to take down her enemies, Zylah is determined to uphold her vow—for herself, and for those terrorised by the monsters set loose across Astaria.

In her darkest hour she dreams of only two things: revenge, and to be reunited with those she’s lost. As dark powers rise to stand against her and time runs out, Zylah must find the strength to escape and call upon old allegiances, even the most unlikely ones if both humans and Fae are to be free. Taking down an ancient Fae might very well cost Zylah her life—a fate she has long since accepted.

But will her legacy be freedom, or will it be the downfall of the Fae?

In Fiasco, Kentucky, there is one rule: never fall for a Foxx brother.

Any woman who did, ended up dead. It wasn’t just a rumor. It was my reality. I buried my wife along with too many secrets surrounding the night she died.

Now, I’m a single dad with two priorities above everything else: raising my two girls and making great bourbon.

But when Faye Calloway returns after I ran her out of my small town—looking like a fantasy on stage and nothing like the cop she was trained to be—I know for a fact that she’s hiding more secrets than the one she blackmailed me to keep.

While everyone is focused on the teasingly beautiful burlesque dancer, I’m distracted by the woman with a hidden agenda. The smart-mouth, who says what she wants. And the instigator, who prefers a very specific way to drink her bourbon.

But as secrets begin to unravel, I realize she’s fiercely protective of the ones she loves. When she puts herself in danger to right the past, the rules stop mattering.

Only two things have the power to keep my family from falling apart and losing the woman I love—bourbon and secrets.

Kai and Lea have always been in each others periphery.

So when both professional hockey players find themselves in a financial bind, Leas brother suggests she move in with his best friend.

But while the solution eases financial woes, nothing can stop the sexual tension mounting when Kai accidentally overhears his new roommates side hustle: pleasuring herself while strangers online watch. Lea jokingly offers her lucrative platform to Kai and when he takes her up on it, she realizes that when one fucks around, one must then find out.

As they navigate this new and intimate dynamic, will their mounting feelings for one another allow them to enjoy this forbidden holiday tryst? Or will their loyalties and responsibilities keep them in check?

Liv Garrison needs a shoulder to cry on. Im giving her that and a whole lot more.

The media, the fans, my teammates, my coaches, all expect more from me than they do other hockey players. That’s what happens when you’re Crew Westwood, the son of hockey’s beloved golden boy. I was pretty good at handling the pressure until my wife blew up our marriage and I responded by almost blowing up my house. Not my finest hour, but I’ve never been an emotionless robot like my twin brother.

Now I have it all under control. I’m happy with who I am and my single, carefree life. Until a trip to Vegas, and the best one night stand of my life, changes everything. Turns out my ‘sexy stranger’ is actually the cousin of my teammate and best friend.

Tate always told me Liv Garrison was the one who steered clear of all things hockey. He said she was a shy, innocent, virgin. Well… not anymore. If Tate finds out about my steamy night with Liv, I’m screwed. But what has me even more terrified is that fact that I can’t stop thinking about her. She’s the most beautiful, authentic, kind, hilarious and accidentally sexy woman I’ve ever met.

I know only one way to acknowledge the anniversary of my mama's death – by drinking away the memories in a back street bar. But there's nothing like waking up to the news I'm to marry the don of New York's biggest mafia family to induce the hangover from hell.

My husband-to-be is a monster, but marrying him is the only way to save our family. I expect my fiancé to be disinterested in me, and he is. What I don't expect is… his brother.

Cristiano Di Santo is intense, unfairly handsome, and has a tendency to shoot people's hands off if they don't do as he demands. He's also charged with protecting me. If that means crippling any man who looks my way, and carrying me upside down out of parties, his performance is exemplary. If it means not watching me when I shower, and not holding me through my nightmares… not so much.

It takes me just six weeks to realize I'm falling for the wrong brother, and with my wedding day around the corner, my heart isn't all I want to give him.

Is targeting the Guardians merely a distraction or is it the first step to a terrorist attack on the nations capital?

When someone close to Viktor Baran becomes a target of an assassin, he vows a hellfire of a payback. But the enemy is cunning and avoids the trappings of the digital web, preferring to strike out from the shadows. Drawing on old-fashioned cloak and dagger methods to investigate the enemy's hatred for the Guardians, he uncovers a link to a past he is reluctant to revisit.

Eight years ago, Marissa Cole walked away from the man she loved.

Danger and mayhem are the perfect formula to reignite their passion, and Viktor has decided hes done fighting his attraction to Marissa. He's determined to make her his. However, their road to a happily ever after is a bumpy one. Years on the job have stripped Viktor of his humanity, and unless he can break down his walls enough to let Marissa into his heart, he could lose her again.

Friendships will be broken. Beliefs will be shaken, and their relationship will be tested.

For the stakes are too high, and there is a growing threat, not only to AGS, but also to every government agency critical to the countrys safety.

A mysterious, charismatic bad boy in a leather jacket who whisked me away on the ride of a lifetime.

Maxwell Anderson is one of the city's most powerful men. The reclusive billionaire—the frigid king, as the press calls him—is cloaked in shadows and secrets. He's overbearing and mercurial, his moods giving me whiplash. He's the complete opposite of the man I met that magical night.

He tells me he's cursed, that he can never love me—his love is a literal death sentence.

But what if I'm willing to risk everything—my body, my heart, my very life? And judging by his heated gazes and scorching touches, he's just as desperate to defy fate?

Can we conquer the curse or will our love be our undoing?

Famous last words.

As if being targeted by, well, everyone, wasn't bad enough, now the fate of my loved ones rests in my hands.

What if I don't have the strength to save them?

The first time I met Ryland Anderson, I sprawled at his feet in his classroom. His glare burned right through me and turned my world upside down.

He was a storm, and I was caught in his pull, a whirlwind where we collided. Every stolen glance and charged silence defied the boundaries set before us, blurring the line we couldn't cross.

It was all kinds of wrong, and we both knew it. Yet, the pull between us made right or wrong irrelevant, as if our hearts knew something our minds refused to admit.

Then, an impossible choice tore us apart before anything could happen between us. I thought my decision would calm the storm and Ryland Anderson would just become a memory.

I couldn't have been more wrong.

Because the storm never stopped. It was merely gathering strength.

When Ryland crashes back into my life again, the spark between us turns into an inferno.

Still off-limits and still my professor, the storm we thought we escaped is now impossible to outrun. But the stakes are higher—his reputation, my future, and everything we stand for hang in the balance.

How can I resist when the whirlwind refuses to let go of my heart? And what will happen when it all comes crashing down?

I don't want her near my family or the quiet life I've made for myself. But my brothers have other plans. Now she's everywhere–working at my distillery, living in our guest house, calling me ‘cowboy' and skinny-dipping in my horse trough.

But it's the way she dishes out attitude from that pretty mouth of hers that has me wanting things I've sworn to myself I'd never want again. I should push her away, forget how her lips taste, and ignore how she makes me want more out of life again.

When her past shows up and mingles too closely with mine, her lies begin to unravel. The rules don't matter anymore. I mess up, dig too far, and get too close. Only two things have the power to keep her safe now: bourbon and lies.

When he was sixteen, Kane Diaz went to prison for assaulting the father who had abused him since he was small.

Sometimes a captains duty is more than just protecting the realm . . .

To Captain Valeria Augusta, nothing is more important than the Pillar Legion and their mission to regain control of the realm from the Kingdom of Praiton. And, of course, to protect her three best friends under her command. Especially when most of the Legion believes the only reason she got her position of captain was because she's a female rather than for her battle prowess or talent with a flaming sword.

Val must decide what is worth protecting more: the mission of the Legion or her very heart.

He has three options.

Hide under his blankie and pretend he didn't just get the invitation.
