Senior year can't come or end fast enough for Amelia Campbell. For the shy, nerdy girl-next-door that she is, high school is torture, and all she wants is for it to be over. Having her heart broken by a popular, womanizing boy all those years ago doesn't help matters. Nor does his best friend, who still has a habit of mercilessly teasing her. Now, she only has one year left, one year to be invisible before she can move on with her life.

Bianca: Pretty things distract me. But in my line of work, a distraction will get you caught - or in my case, blackmailed. But Connor Hayes isn't just furious with me. He's charming. And itching for payback. He doesn't just want my money, though. My hate. My beauty. My body. He requires it all as repayment. Right down to my empty soul. Hayes: Two wrongs don't make a right. Except when they are five-foot-seven and hotter than my exhaust pipe. So, I blackmailed her. It was either that or turn her in. I figured if anyone was going to put her in handcuffs, it was going to be me.

One night can transform everything. Pierce Kelly has a good life. He's the owner of a successful business and also has a wonderful family. But there's a piece to his puzzle that has yet to fall into place. Disheartened, he takes a trip to Vegas, hoping it will help him clear his mind.

When a stop at a shady motel puts Brandon Parker face-to-face with his best friend, Mary, for the first time in over a decade, he almost didn't believe it. He'd never stopped searching for her, but even a career in law enforcement couldn't help him find a woman who wanted to stay invisible. When Mary Benson ran away at 18, she did it with good reason. A man was in the hospital because of her, and the people she loved were in danger. She had to leave to keep them safe.

It should have been simple. Easy come, easy go, and in between, atonement. She was not who I would have chosen. Gwen was delicate and lovely: a former model with a ruined life, living loudly in the quiet of the Smoky Mountains, healing injured bears. When she laid her hands on me, she healed me too. That's how it began. That's where it went wrong. I knew she could never be mine. But I sinned. I sinned.

Everything’s bigger in Texas. And that includes Duke Wilder’s sexual appetite.

He never counted on her being the one to turn his whole world upside down.

When someone posts in a group chat looking for a wedding date to Bermuda, Posey jumps on the chance to prove that she's the reigning queen of adventure. But even she is unprepared for Brent Faulkner: Olympic swimmer, Northern University star, and the only guy she's ever thirsted after.

I was a dead woman. I'd finally had a glimpse of true love, admiration, and the kind of devotion only your soul mate, your other half, could provide - until it was physically ripped away. Taken. My stalker had me, and there was little hope I'd be found. I knew Chase would use all his money and resources to search the ends of the Earth for me, but I knew the monster I was dealing with. Years of looking into the eyes of pure evil gave me the unique experience to know that my situation was dire.

Accidents happen, especially for me. Too much salt in my famous chili, a small slice on my finger while chopping vegetables, and even getting buried in debt because the business I spent years building didn't go to plan. But accidentally getting engaged to the cowboy who hired me for a last-minute catering gig? Yeah . . . I never saw that coming.

I'm house-sitting for a year, and my next-door neighbor is the devil in disguise. He throws loud parties that last all night, and the women scream like he's some sort of god. But he can't be that good. He even had the nerve to have my car towed—just because he could. He's rude, arrogant, and worse, he knows exactly how to get under my skin. His bare chest and sculpted arms make my brain short-circuit. If I didn't despise him so much, I'd be tempted to climb him like a tree.

What happens when you fall in love with your best friend? I have the best job in the world. Date beautiful women and write about it. But I want to take it to the next level: instead of writing about my experiences, make it into an online reality show. But here is the catch. My boss wants me to share the show with a woman cohost. And he wants that woman to be my best friend and coworker, Margo. I used to love going home with a different woman every night, but suddenly this isn't as fun. Seeing Margo with anyone else is driving me crazy.

After reuniting with Lily, I had no doubt in my mind that she was the one for me. But like all marriages, everyone gets tested. Add a dozen more problems coming from all directions, and it could get extremely tricky.

Gwendolyn Roth has always been a good girl. As the heiress to her family's billion-dollar real estate fortune, she'd never questioned the expectations she must uphold . . . until she'd found herself in bed with Declan Murphy for her one and only one night stand.

She's dated her fair share of New York City firemen, but after having been burned one too many times, she swore she'd never date another one. Enter Jesse Hogan—tempting her to bend her rules for one night. He was just a volunteer fireman, that had to be a loophole, right? Wrong. He was also a lieutenant in the FDNY. A fireman twice over. So she told herself to forget about that feeling in her chest (and that mind-blowing orgasm) and move on before he bulldozed her heart. Easy, right? Wrong.

My name is the only truth they didn't take from me. Betrayed by my family, my desperate need for answers puts me back on his radar. The one person who was never supposed to find me. Again. I was unprepared for the world I got thrust into—the connection we shared. The deeper I dug, the more unstable my future became. With Rhys as my anchor, I will fight to bring my past out of the dark.

Lust like a saint, trust like a sinner. M. N. Forgy presents Book 5 in the Devil's Dust Legacy series.

One second I was standing on the shore, wondering if I'll ever learn the truth about my parents, and the next I'm caught in a whirlpool, drowning. Someone - or something - is out to get me. But who? And why? An elite sailing team saved my life, but these irresistible men seem to think I called them here. They say I'm a Siren. Their Siren. Turns out there's a whole lot about me I never knew, and these men are here to help me figure it out. I wanted to become more badass this year.... I'd say growing a tail qualifies.

After screwing up my life in the lower 48, I take a chance on an old friend’s offer and head to Alaska for a fresh start. A day in, I’m pitching a tent in the middle of nowhere. I’ve been through plenty - being alone in the wilderness isn’t the scariest thing I’ve faced. But um...these wolves who’ve hunted me down? They’re kind of freaking me out. They say I’m their remedy - their mate. That I can’t leave. I thought what we shared was nothing but a romp in the woods. Turns out I’m coming face to face with my destiny.
