We’ve remodeled Club Sage, and I’m just about to burn the place down to the ground. When Savannah comes looking for a job, I hire her on the spot. We’re desperate for dancers, and she’s stunning. How could she not be perfect for the job?

The wedding is quickly approaching, and I’m engaged to Mark, a man I don’t love. Don’t get me wrong. He’s sweet and kind, but a little too syrupy for my taste. I prefer my men darker, devious, and with a bit of bite. Mark is as vanilla as they come. But I’ve settled because it’s what’s best for my daughter, Bay. She needs stability, and I want to give her the absolute best life that I can. When my coworker stumbles onto a photo of my hot mistake, Madisyn confesses that she knows the Russian who knocked me up.

I'm scared. When will this nightmare end? Darkness and cold have tortured me. I can't remember anything. He's coming. His footsteps echo like a wrecking ball in my head. He's getting closer. Breathe. He's almost here. I must escape.

Having a pack isn't even on the radar for Dr. Piper Blake. Her focus is strictly on her surgical residency. There's no time for dating when the standards you set for yourself are sky high. Unfortunately for Piper, the captain of the New Haven Foxes has a different idea. Alexi Bandnin is ready to make this his best season yet, by winning the Cup, and building his dream pack in the process.

I finally have everything I've always wanted: I'm part of a team with my brother and best friend, I'm spending my free time on missions hunting down monsters, and I'm about to turn nineteen, the age we fully come into our power. But it all still just feels empty. After last month's disaster, the members of Team Six abandoned Guild Headquarters, leaving me alone to deal with the crippling shame for my part in the events that night. And I can't say that I blame them.

When Headmistress Alleva arrives on campus, my life at Headquarters is thrown upside down. After sightings of werewolves close to Guild boundaries have everyone up in arms, recruits are thrust into apprenticeships with prominent teams to help move along graduation rates and get them into the field as soon as possible.

Ryder Goode has been my celebrity crush since he signed on with the Charleston Coyotes. Watching him race around the ice has become a favorite pastime of mine. Despite him being one of my brother's teammates, we've never met. At least not until he cashes in on the prize he won in a charity auction—one weekend with me as his personal chef. During those two days, every preconceived notion I have about him gets annihilated, leaving me wanting to learn more about the kind and generous man. So when he asks me to stay on as his full-time chef, I accept.

My dad has been the coach of the Charleston Coyotes for as long as I can remember. All the time I've spent in ice rinks has taught me two things: 1. I will NEVER date a hockey player. As a single mom, it's not like I have time for romance anyway. 2. Nothing smells worse than hockey players after a game. And I work as a dog groomer, so I have experience with smelly animals. It's amazing how quickly my rules are forgotten when Darius walks into my pet salon.

The first time I met Murphy, the goalie of the Coyotes hockey team, I thought he was the most attractive man I'd ever seen. The second time, we shared a wild night and I never planned to see him again. Imagine my surprise when I showed up for a work meeting only to find out Murphy was my new client. He needed a bodyguard to pose as his live-in girlfriend, and I was perfect for the job.

The last ten years of my life have been nothing but tears and pain, but finally, a light is shining at the end of the tunnel. After leaving Texas and my past behind, I've started a new life journey in Estes Park, Colorado. I have a second chance and don't plan to waste it. I found work as a live-in nanny for a darling little girl named Hadley. Her father, Aiden, is a single dad with a troubled past he is desperately trying to move on from. When I find myself drawn to Aiden in a way I've never experienced before, I long to help him see what a wonderful father he is.

Three words to describe Kennedy Carter? Smart. Driven. Killer legs. See also: my last hope of winning a national football championship. Okay, so technically that’s more than three, but I’ve got bigger problems at the moment. Thanks to a drunken dare, Waverly University is short a kicker and with the home opener in three weeks, I’ll do whatever it takes to lead my team to victory.

If Luna thought her first month at the Guild of Shadows was tough, then she's in for another ride. Her guardians are deadset on unlocking the information her parents buried in her mind, believing it to be the key to defeating the Serpent Brotherhood. Except Luna's finally found somewhere to settle down, a home, and answers to the questions her parents hid from her. The last thing she wants is to jeopardize that by releasing the evil inside her.

With her past firmly behind her where it belongs, Juliette has made a career out of turning her scars into art. She uses her skills to help others cover the evidence of their pain, too. But some scars are too deep, too painful for anyone to hide completely. Juliette has everything she could ever need—great parents, her dream job, the best friend a girl could ask for, and a new body to warm her bed whenever she wants. With her focus firmly on the here and now, she never expects a kiss from a stranger to throw a bomb in the middle of her carefully constructed life.

I wasn't prepared for Delilah Taylor. Settling down was never on my radar. Almost getting caught with my mouth and hands on her body were definitely not in my plans. Now that I've had a taste of her, I'm rethinking every single f*cking thing.

All Cayson Bexley ever wanted was to fly . . . Until a near-fatal crash clipped his wings, sending the injured military pilot back to his hometown and living right next door to me. From the moment our eyes meet, the attraction is undeniable. I mean who wouldn't fall for that achingly gorgeous face, his clean-cut demeanor, and sweet, small town charm? Other than our mutual love of music, we're as opposite as two people can be. Which is precisely why I friend-zone him the moment he shows interest.

The woman I crave more than anything wants nothing to do with me. I'm going to do whatever it takes to change her mind. One night with Juniper and I hardly remember any of it. No wonder she's pissed as hell, won't talk to me, or barely look at me. I do what any Johnson worth his salt would. I take her away to my cabin until she's ready to talk. One thing is for certain we won't be leaving until I own Juni like she already owns me.

Charlie moved to The Lodge to run away from the demons of her past. And, for the most part, she's succeeded in building a peaceful life in a small town, only letting her dark memories confront her once a year during the holiday season. But everything changes when she learns that some demons are literal, and that the monsters she's spent a lifetime reading about exist beyond the margins of a book.

Ever since that horrific night, I'd shut men completely out of my life. I'd gone from the spunky, fun, Alex DeMarco to a broken woman terrified of intimacy. Easing me back into dating, my best friend sets me up with kickboxing lessons from my charming and perfectly sculpted instructor—Carter Maxwell. Carter's goal is to break through my emotional barrier and mold my heart just like he molds my body, but trusting men is a battle I'm not ready for.

I know what I want and what I want is Tallulah Jennings anyway I can have her. Tully wants to keep our relationship a secret. She thinks my name attached to hers will make the people in our small-town talk. And not in a good way. I'm biding my time. One day soon she'll have my last name, be the mother of my children, and they'll be no more hiding the way we feel for one another.

Magnolia loves to jog to clear her mind and read steamy romance novels. She’s shy when she likes a guy, but a certain magic paperback might change her fate. Remember Thor...Ehm Max, the sexy paramedic from Onyx? He has to rescue our nurse from herself a few times but he certainly doesn’t mind. What happens if he isn’t the only one who’s noticed our girl?
