With the help of a team from a nearby settlement, the rebuilding begins with a focus on safety. Their healer, Jessica, is as beautiful as she is tough. If we could convince her to stay in Hope that would be a huge advantage. More hands means less work, and soon we had a thriving garden and four livable homes. With some help, I began work on a waterwheel that could power our new settlement. Next step: getting the plumbing working again. Things were going well, and life was simple and satisfying when we focused on the basics.

I made a deal with Harley Jackson. We'd burn that fire between us to ashes with a few nights between the sheets. Friends with benefits, but with a time limit. It turned out to be colossally stupid. A few nights together only made the fire burn hotter. I was never supposed to fall for her.

There's only one thing my inner panther and I agree on. This gorgeous woman, whose thighs I'd happily die between, is my mate. And I will protect her at all costs. Ideally, in my bed. But my fated mate has a magic that even she doesn't know about. The ability to see into shifters' souls and discover their true nature. And that hidden power puts her in the sights of enemies with mysterious magic of their own.

What do you do when the killers come out to play? When it's hunt or be hunted? You sharpen your knives and prepare to get bloody because nobody does it better than a woman scorned with something to prove. Welcome to the 23rd annual serial killer war games, where the adrenaline runs high, the blood is fresh, and the revenge is best served cold.

For seven years, I fought monsters and nightmares across the continent as one of the kingdom’s last war wizards, forged in fire and blood. I’ve buried comrades, burned enemies to ash, and become something feared by both man and beast. Now at last, I’m going home. Back to my family. Back to a promise I swore I’d keep. But the town I left behind didn’t survive the war unscathed. A dark shadow has fallen over it, threatening to destroy anyone that stands in its way.

I've been locked up in this house watching the Mirakill MC Pack since they moved in next door. Those motorcycle-riding, leather-wearing outlaw alphas who make my heart race. All their wild parties and comings and goings are pure temptation into a world of sin that I am desperate to experience.

Skylar's all but wearing a Stay Away sign. She might be tempting, but I can take a hint. Until a single moment leads to one kiss and then another. Before I know it, I'm in deep. After tragically losing my first love, I never planned to fall in love again. But Skylar gets to me. She doesn't even believe in love. I want her to believe. I want to slay her dragons. All of them. I can handle it. My heart won't get involved. Until Skylar walks away.

I thought volunteering to be put into cryostasis for three days would be a great way to make some extra cash. Apparently, the rest of the world thought it would be a great time for an all-out nuclear war. Destruction was unleashed on such an incredible scale they say the very laws of physics changed. Now, massive mutants roam the city, looking for something—or someone—to eat. Violent gangs fight for control of the city's remains. Strange, human-animal hybrids are now part of our struggling societies. And perhaps strangest of all, magic is now real. Yeah, I'm still trying to process that one.

Connor "King" Kingsley had his hands full running the Hounds of Hellfire MC. Love was the last thing on his mind when Stella Ford came to the compound, needing his help. But it only took one encounter with the feisty beauty for King to know he'd finally met the woman made to stand by his side. Stella's unique upbringing made her slow to trust. Except with King... and not just because her dad sent her to him. There was just something about the club president that had her walls crumbling, even under the worst of circumstances.

My life was fine. I worked, went home, and spent time with my best friend. Until I gained some unwanted attention, that is. To keep me safe, my childhood crush hides me away with him and his two roommates, who are also ridiculously attractive. Can I stay here for weeks without falling for one of them... or all of them?
