The holidays are upon Charm Cove and Moira Wicked is up to her eyeballs in magic as she manages Persnickety Potions & Gifts for her family. One evening after a busy day, she assumes she must be way too tipsy from her wine when she hears a commotion down at the beach by her home. Nope. Not too tipsy from wine.

That's enough news by itself, but even worse, the three passengers who were believed to have been on the boat have vanished into thin air. So has the man who runs the lighthouse.

A catastrophe has befallen Hell. The great and mighty Lucifer has fallen prey to the most wicked of spells. He's become...nice. Just using that word makes Gaia want to gag.

And will they do it in time to celebrate the wedding from Hell?

James "Barney" Barnwell is losing his ever-loving mind. Between the threat to the white shifters and a riddle he's been ordered to solve, he can't actually go for 10 whole minutes without thinking about Heather, the woman destined to be his mate.

Something's not right with his cousin Chloe, and he's come to Halle, PA, to sort it out, turn his Harley around and head home to Oregon. Until an enticing scent lures him into the local tattoo shop.

The huge alien prince claims I’m his wife—but I’ve never been a good little princess. I’m not about to start now. Stuck in a hot jungle with an even hotter alien is not how I imagined my diplomatic mission going. To make things worse, every conversation is an exercise in survivor charades. I’ve always prided myself on never needing a man, but this planet seems determined to prove I can't live without the massive alien stuck to my side.

As the first humans allowed in Suevan space, there’s a lot riding on my all-woman team. Earth desperately needs their tech, and I’m determined to prove we can negotiate the price. Without their planetary defense systems, Earth is a sitting duck, ripe for invasion. Except the Suevan culture is nothing like ours. When I take part in what I think is a welcoming ceremony, I leave with more than I bargained for: a husband. A mate. Apparently, we’re there to marry them as payment—something the top brass on Earth doesn’t bother denying. Fantastic.

I've dedicated my life to doing as much good as possible. I won't let my marriage to the big and buff alien assassin, Feruz, wreck my plans. I don't care if I accidentally swore to be his mate at what I thought was a welcoming ceremony. My morals are the polar opposite of his, and I want nothing to do with him... even if my new life on his planet is a bit lonely. When Feruz offers me a way out of our marriage, I take it in a heartbeat. If I go on one date with him to a relaxing resort and still want out of our marriage, he'll leave me alone.

Just when I think I’m getting my life under control, my alien husband kidnaps me—and manages to get amnesia. I’ve mostly come to grips with my new reality. Earth is a memory, I’m making a name for myself, and I can usually ignore the reason I’m here… my horrible alien warlord husband. But the Beast doesn’t want to be ignored. Nope. He wants me, and unlike other Suevans, he doesn't like to take no for an answer… so he kidnaps me, determined to win me over. Good luck with that, buddy.

I never thought I’d be tricked into an arranged marriage with an alien warlord. Still, it’s been easy enough to keep my former gladiator husband at arm’s length. But once my translator starts working, the hulking himbo decides he’s tired of waiting and freaking kidnaps me. I wake up in a picturesque seaside village, and the big lug is only too happy to inform me that it’s all part of his plan to give us time to fall in love. Strangely enough, it turns out he was listening when I told him I loved historical mysteries.

I am the only one excited—okay, delighted—at finding myself married to a hulking, alien warlord. I’ve always been into scales and tails, and this big green beefcake is right up my alley. Except, he’s not into me. But I want my fun, and that’s the very least I can get out of this arranged marriage. I’m determined to get my way, and I’m sick of being ignored.

Coping with a devastating injury is hard enough for Belinda “Belle” Campbell. Forced separation from her destined mate while she heals is almost more than she can endure. Until she is strong enough to take up her duties as Luna of the Poconos wolf pack, however, the safest place for her is Halle. Rick Lowell has waited long enough to bring Belle home where she belongs. He’s aware of the danger, as well - and it isn’t long before a bitch with an eye on Belle’s position issues a challenge. The only way to put down the threat is for Belle to defeat the usurper in combat.

Adrian Giordano was quite happy with the way his life was going. His two best friends were happily mated, and he was still sanely single. He had friends, a thriving business, and the occasional weekend date. Then Sheridan Montgomery came to town and turned his life upside down. Sheri is on the run from a big bad wolf, an ex who won’t take no for an answer. Unfortunately, if he catches her he’s got the teeth (and the Pack!) to take what he wants. A lone Puma against a Wolf Pack doesn’t stand a chance, but with the help of her old friends she’ll find what she needs to survive.

Rebecca Yaeger finds more at the masquerade ball than for which she bargained. Getting attacked by some crazed she-devil, complete with claws and fangs, certainly wasn’t on her agenda for the evening. In a few slashing moments, Becky learns things about her friends and the man she loves she never would have suspected. When Simon rescues Becky from an unprovoked attack by one of his Pride, he finally confirms what he’s long suspected: She’s his mate.

Emma Carter has been in love with Max Cannon since high school, but he barely knew she existed. Now, she runs her own unique curio shop, and she’s finally come out her shell and into her own. When Max returns to his small home town to take up his duties as the Halle Pride’s alpha, he finds shy little Emma has grown up. That small spark of something he’d always felt around the teenager has blossomed into something more - his mate! But Max’s ex has plans of her own. Plans that don’t include Emma being around to interfere.
