All my life, I've chased the thrill of new adventures, but nothing scratches that itch for long. So when a mysterious business card slips under my apartment door, promising to grant my greatest wish, my curiosity and sense of adventure get the best of me. Before I knew it, I'd switched places with my look-alike and whisked through the Enchanted Veil to a whole new realm. But in this strange, medieval place, men vastly outnumber women, and they don't take kindly to the word "no." To survive, I disguise myself as a man and get a job aboard a pirate ship run by three handsome brothers.

Cruel. Heartless. Quarantined. The ruthless boys of Everlake Prep never saw lockdown coming. But the virus isn’t their number one enemy. I am. And as if being confined to a boarding school for the elite wasn’t bad enough, now I’m stuck in isolation with the boys who hate me most too. With the virus escalating and my dad’s name splashed through the news, my entire world is falling apart. What he did has cast a dark shadow over me. And the Night Keepers want to make me pay for his crimes.

Top-tier lawyer Zev Brady is not in control. Ever since a half-naked heiress fell out of a tree and onto his head, the carefully crafted order in his life has gone berserk. One moment, he was at a wedding his bossy sister, Azura, had forced him to attend, and the next, he had Isla Valehart in his arms. Now, the paparazzi have popped up out of nowhere, and they've caught him with a mostly naked millionaire darling in his arms. And if that wasn't bad enough, Azura insists there's only one solution to the problem: Fake date Isla Valehart until the paparazzi leave her alone.

After our rival gives up the throne as my dying wish, my men trust him to protect me from any danger that may come my way. He keeps me safe, somehow understanding the darkness that lurks inside of me. He knows it cannot be caged, and he allows me the ability to set it free when we’re alone.

Azura has to chase down a crime syndicate of lumberjacks. As bizarre as that sounds, it's her only lead to help her brother, Dr. Amos Brady, and some of her wealthiest clients.

But when a hiking excursion goes wrong, she stumbles right into the arms of a masked man who is as terrifying as he is enticing.

After fleeing a shattered engagement, I wanted a fresh start in New York City, but instead all I got was a tiny apartment with a communal bathroom and a rat that steals my Oreos. Oh, and one hot night I won’t soon forget. What I didn't expect was the gorgeous man at the bar to want his two best friends to watch us together. How was I supposed to know they were about to be my new bosses?

When my mother sets me up on yet another blind date with a pack, I never expected to open the door to them. Now here they are, three men from my past I never wanted to see again, challenging me not to turn them away and starting a not-so-innocent game of truth or dare. When a storm throws us all together with no escape, I realize that they aren't at all like the boys I remember. They've changed in so many ways, and so have I.

She's not alone anymore. But them knowing the secret she's kept for fifteen years may be the one thing she can't survive. The men who found her have begun to quiet the darkness that once consumed her, slowly helping her piece herself back together. But Darla is still clutching one devastating secret—one she swore she'd never reveal. And the closer they get, the harder it becomes to keep it buried. As old wounds resurface and deadly threats close in, it's clear their pasts are far from finished with them.

I made my choice. I took the hard way out. Now all of our fates are riding on the dice I’m about to throw and luck never was on our side. I was whole once, with my boys in this slice of paradise we’d carved out for ourselves, but in the time that we were parted we grew up. Grew apart. And as much as I might have yearned to reclaim that girl with the sand between her toes and the sun on her cheeks, it’s time I admit that I spent too long in the shadows to ever truly be her again.

I wasn't looking for a savior. I sure as hell wasn't looking for Eddie Crowe—gritty, gorgeous, reckless Eddie Crowe—when I stumbled into his world. I had walls. He had demons. Neither of us was built for fairy tales. But somehow, under the weight of our broken pieces, we found something real. Something that made breathing without each other impossible. Now, the past I thought I escaped is back... and it wants to rip everything apart.

The Harlequin boys are more than just a memory now. More than a daydream of our youth and an idea to cling onto. They’re my greatest weakness and my biggest regret, but I’ve started to realize that coming back to Sunset Cove was always my fate. My heart beats to the turn of the tide here. My skin only warms beneath this sun. And my soul will only ever be home on these streets and with the men who grew out of my memories. But nothing is the same as I remember, and the time for childish games is coming to an end.

Once upon a time I met four monsters and thought the world would come to an end at their hands. But I was a fool. Because I didn’t understand the bigger picture. That the enemies I thought I knew would become the reason for my entire existence. My strength. My pain. My life. My love. The big bad wolf has teeth and claws as sharp as iron, and the danger before my eyes is blinding. So blinding that I didn’t see the true danger lurking in the dark. But now my eyes are wide open and I see it all.

I was back in my hometown at last, surrounded by the boys I’ve loved for my entire life, and I’d finally had everything I’d ever wanted. But fate never was kind to this dead girl, and we aren’t done fighting to claim our happily ever after. This might not be a fairy tale, but I swear on all I am that I’ll defeat the villain of our story before it’s done. The only question left to answer is whether or not we’ll all live to see him die. I’ll do whatever it takes to get revenge for everything Shawn has taken from us and claim the ending we deserve.

I’m the girl who no one wanted. Or the one who got away. Depending on who you ask. Either way, betrayal and heartache have been my friends for far too long and it’s time for me to start over. I gave the Harlequin boys a chance to change. A chance to prove that history wasn’t just set to repeat itself. But they failed with spectacular colors.

I was sick of being the girl who ran so this time I stayed. For them. Hardin and Kaleb. But now, thanks to Aodhan, there's a target on my back. I thought I could trust him, but he threw me to the wolves. It doesn't matter what he's done to try to fix it; I should hate him. I should…but I can't.
