Our dangerous game of seduction and submission leaves me yearning for more. Even as I give myself to him, I know the bliss is short-lived. I'll learn from Gothel, and then I'll steal from him.

F--k me for choosing the wrong sister. Atlas Carter was a protector. He was a police officer, had spent years in the Air Force, spent his entire teen years as a volunteer firefighter. Being a protector was in his blood. It was his dream. So when a woman was in a dangerous situation, it was his every instinct to protect her. To shield her. To watch over her. Only, that woman had played him. She’d set him up.

“Our secrets are out, so why remain enemies? You always knew I was a pretty little monster. Why are you so shocked that I’m a villain?” Oh, how the tables have turned. With painful truths revealed, I, Alpha Malifer Nightshade, must now face the consequences of my deceit. I played a dangerous game, hoping no one would put the pieces together, but I failed to account for one strong opponent: my fated mate.

The hotter the flame, the bigger the fire. I’m a smokejumper. I go where the flames take me. And right now, it’s sending me from Baton Rouge to New Orleans. Louisiana has called for a state of emergency because of a category five hurricane. First responders from all over the country are coming to help. It’s where I run into Ryan. A paramedic from Las Vegas. He’s brave, smart, and gay. I don’t have an issue with that. And while I’m getting to know him, I start to battle a different kind of fire.

Mari Marcosa may be head of her family’s mafia empire, but the new enemy hiding in the shadows is determined to destroy her—piece by piece. She has no idea who she can trust. Until three men become the very foundation of her survival. Greyson: Her best friend, her second-in-command, her savior. The one she always needed but couldn’t have.

The question is, do I allow this dark moment in time to rob me of the life I could possibly have here? I have never known such horror or fear. If I hadn't experienced it myself, I would have never believed any other living thing could possibly do this to another. The scars may be gone on the outside now, but they will remain forever in my soul. They tell me I can never go back, all that I have ever known is gone. Where does this leave me in the world of monsters? He beckons me, promising me . . . the fairytale . . . the impossible dream. Everything I have ever wanted to hear!

Once upon a time, I had a crush on Damien Cardenas. I stalked him into a private club. And then I had a ménage with him and his best friend, Julian. It was unexpectedly great. I thought we had something, the three of us. Chemistry. Passion. The kind of connection that doesn’t come along every day. Then, the morning after, Damien got me fired.

I learned long ago that I could look - but never touch. My father made it clear: I was no longer his son if I ever sinned with a man. But Connor Strong took hold of my heart the moment I saw him. And he made that sin sound so sweet. Connor makes sparks fly whenever he touches me. He teaches me, slowly and tenderly, and shows me exactly what he needs. He tells me I'm the perfect boyfriend, except for one thing. I'm not out. I can't be.

Dina is off limits. She's my brother Wall's little sister. She's wired different, and despite the malice aforethought, she's innocent. She wants me to help her bury a body. I want to unravel her beautiful brain. I want to let her explore me—and watch the light in her eyes when she discovers what she needs and how badly she needs it. I want her.

He’d never had something to himself, never even dared to dream about owning something so precious. He was the unwanted bastard son who’d always had to content himself with the leftovers of others. And now, they’d given him what only a few weeks ago had been out of his reach, someone he wasn’t even allowed to admire from afar and one of their most prized possessions.

Loving Jackson Shaw in secret almost cost me my relationship with my best friend—his younger sister. Losing him nearly broke me. It took years to put the pieces of my heart back together. To find some semblance of happiness. And while a lot has changed since the last time I saw him over a decade ago, the way my body reacts to him has not. Jackson's a former Navy SEAL, and when he puts his mind to something, he won't let anything stand in the way. So when he sets his sights on me, I'm both anxious and thrilled. My body might crave his touch, but my heart is another matter entirely.

I was forced to make a decision . . . her life for mine. It really was a simple question to answer because at the end of the day, I'm nothing more than a wanna be girl, with the dream of being more.

It all comes down to this. Mari Marcosa's family—the three men who are her very world—is back together. She won’t let anything tear them apart. Not again. May God have mercy on her enemies. Because she won’t.

Is it really considered kidnapping if I go willingly? Asking for a friend. If it were up to Christian, Athos, Nix, or Liam, their answer would be a resounding yes. Yet it's my fifth and final mate who steals me away - Kade. He's the definition of bad boy, and he draws me in like no other with his dimpled smile and haunted eyes. Kade yanks the veil away from my eyes, hinting at the intricate motivations of each of my fated mates, but my devious rogue isn't just opening my eyes to them. He's also unraveling the history of my ancestors and just what it means to be blessed by a goddess.

I love my life - the thrill of being on the ice as part of the Arizona Vengeance, the rush of winning, the adoration of the fans. And if that adoration means I don’t have to spend the night alone, well even better. I’m content being single and always ready to mingle. But the day Emory Holland walks into a Vengeance team meeting, my attention is caught like never before. I can tell right away she’s full of smarts and sass, and the fact that she’s hot as hell sure doesn’t hurt either. She immediately shuts down my advances, so I opt for the road less traveled - the friend zone.

Growing up a military brat and spending eight years overseas with the Army Medical Corps, clinical social worker, Willa Smith, has had enough of rules and regulations. She is much happier working with veterans at the new, far more relaxed South Avenue Shelter, until one of its residents is implicated in a murder. Former military turned security operative, Dimas Mazur, has worked for PASS security since he returned stateside after a disabling injury. The job keeps him busy, but when a homeless veteran he knows runs into trouble with the law, he doesn’t hesitate to jump in.

I was separated from my parents and a world where the most important thing I had to worry about was my next outfit. Everything I have ever been or will be . . . torn away abruptly as I'm thrown into what feels like never-ending chaos and confusion. Thrust upon an Alien male who I can't understand and dangers I don't comprehend. How do I cope with the reality of being alone on an alien planet where I'm not wanted?

A man can only have one great love, and mine was the sea. Until I pulled a half-drowned heiress out of the water. Until I kept her as mine. Until I hurt her to prove I didn’t love her. Now we’re surrounded. Dangerous pirates want to use her for their own purposes. I won’t give her up that easy. I have a lifetime of treasure to protect. But with the ship going down, there’s only one thing I want to save. Her.

Being held captive on a South Pacific Island and forced to submit to the depravity of strange men was horrific, but it wasn't the worst experience of Kelly Taylor's life.
