But then we met her. Our Angel. On the outside, Leighton's a good girl forced to live a life as a pawn in a game she didn't choose to play. But on the inside? On the inside, she's the missing piece of our puzzle. There are a million reasons we shouldn't want her. We're eighteen years her senior. She's the police commissioner's daughter.

I never thought I'd auction my v-card to survive. Now, I'm snowed in with three mountain men who want more than my innocence. The underground auction was my escape plan. Instead, it brought me face-to-face with three rugged brothers whose eyes see right through me and whose hands leave me trembling. Two months in their remote cabin was meant to be simple. Fulfill their terms, take the money, and start over. But I didn't expect them. Lucas is dark and intense, a leader whose control leaves me breathless—and wanting more. Bryce is playful and warm, but his charm hides a dangerous edge.

Every town has a history. Ours is just a little darker than most. For years, I've celebrated Halloween and Hollow Bridge's history with everyone else who lives here.

Someone in Hollow Bridge wants to bring the stories to life, and they're not firing any warning shots. When rumors of someone wearing a Halloween mask surface, it isn't long before the first person is killed.

When a snowstorm hits days before Christmas and I'm the only one at the house, I'm quickly informed that I'll be spending Christmas alone, with only my dog for company. That's before things take a turn for the worse. I never would have come if I'd known they'd be here. Fletcher and Boone, my stepbrothers, were never the family I'd hoped for. They're the reason I ran away, the ghosts that haunt my sleep. I was promised they'd be too busy to come to the cabin this year, but someone broke that promise.

As Hanna grapples with her inner demons, and discovers the truth of her own identity, she must learn to accept that sometimes the lines between good and evil aren’t always as black and white as they seem.

I was a Hunter, and I honored the Code. For my services to humanity and for leading a "proper" life, I was to be rewarded. A new life after death, and a new world to give me some well-deserved rest. But something went wrong. Once again, I must fight. The Monsters that face me here are far more terrifying than those of my past life. They are cleverer, crueler, more unpredictable. And their name is.

The last person I expected to see at the funeral was Jake Blackwood—my best friend's older brother, my first love turned bearded mountain god. He brought backup. Two ex-SEALs who share his cabin in the woods. Noah is the calm in the storm. Eli's the storm itself. He blames me for the past. I blame him for that kiss in the woodshed. Then the threats started. Jake insists I stay with them. I should've said no. But I didn't. Being snowed in with a mountain man is a bad idea... Let alone three. And falling for all of them? Disastrous.

Four years ago, somebody pinched perhaps the most valuable book in existence. Merlin’s personal grimoire. And the price they’re offering for its return is the kind we can’t refuse, so it’s Ves and Jay on the case. Except that there aren’t any clues. Seriously, not even a little one. Nothing’s going to solve this case but a Vesper-patented Crazy Plan, and it had better be a good one, for complications are sprouting like daisies. At least it’s a straightforward mission. There’s no earthly way this one’s going to turn my entire life upside down... right?

The stalked has become the stalker—and he's just as twisted.
