But when he walks into a room, it feels like it's just the two of us, and when he kisses me— I forget all the reasons we shouldn't be together. My friend Ellie says starting something with King would be a bad decision, but what if he and I are meant to be, and I don't give our love a chance? Wouldn't that be even worse?

Heather Gabriel is a widowed mother struggling to be there for her children. She takes a job at Magnolia Bay's Animal Shelter and meets Adrian, the shelter's new business consultant. But she's not interested in being anything more than colleagues - this definitely isn't the right time for a summer affair. The shelter's animal-communication expert, Reva Curtis, knows there's more to Heather and Adrian's mutual attraction than they let on, and she's determined to bring them together.

I’ve never forgiven myself for letting that brute drag her off my ship, and I’ve done nothing but search for his horde of warships since he let my ship go free. Everyone knows the Vandar raiders are cruel and merciless, so when my ship is attacked by another of the alien race’s warlords, I expect to be blown out of the sky. Instead, he takes me as his captive. I may be the warlord’s prize, but no way will I submit to his demands. Even if his hard body and fiery eyes ignite a desire in me like nothing have before.

Gus wasn't just my president. He was the father I never had. He was steadfast and strong. I looked up to him and trusted him without question.

None of us knew why the beautiful brunette had come knocking at our door, but it was clear that her arrival had caught Gus by surprise.

In a world where I had no say, violence became my refuge. Nothing else mattered, not even my own life, until her: Skyler Bell. It all started the first time I heard that voice, giving me hope for tomorrow. My first love was everything all at once - consuming, maddening, forever, mine. Except I never imagined there were secrets that needed to be shared, lies that needed to be confessed, truths that needed to be told, demons that needed to be buried. Once I realized that the depth, the longing, and the sadness and sorrow in her eyes mirrored my own, it was too late.

Just when Abby is finally starting to feel like herself again, a sexy new neighbor moves in next door.

Rejection. That's what I get for trying to save a girl who obviously doesn't want saving. Paying off her father's debt so she can stop taking off her clothes for other people? That was a no brainer. Obviously, I hoped she'd fall victim to my irresistible charm. My selflessness. But no. I've offended her independent spirit, and instead of falling for me, she's doing everything she can to avoid me. I should forget all about Ellie Masters, but I'm a sucker for her sassy smile and that fiery, luscious mouth.

We’d heard rumors about the Vandar raiders — everyone in the galaxy had. Terrifying and ruthless, they were a scourge on the Zagrath empire and destroyed everything in their path. Few had actually laid eyes on the Vandar or the notorious warlords who led their fleets of warships — and survived to talk about it. So, when the ruthless aliens boarded our ship intent on destroying it and killing the crew, I did the only thing I could do. I gave myself to the dark and menacing warlord.

Aria’s plans are all coming apart, and with everything on the line, how far will Aria go to protect those she loves from Knox’s anger?

It’s a common story. I’m sure you can guess how it goes. Girl winds up in the wrong place at the wrong time. She witnesses four gods of beauty and brutality murder some poor sap, and she’s stupid enough to get caught.

She wants adventure, excitement, romance—everything her job as a preschool teacher doesn't offer. When she comes across an ad for a nanny to a wealthy recluse in the Rocky Mountains, she wonders if this is the change she needs. The recluse was not supposed to be drop-dead hunky. Tiger shifter Henry Kaplan's life can't get much worse. His arranged marriage has fallen apart. His ex abandoned him and their baby. He can't work and care for his daughter, and danger is around every corner. When he opens his front door to the hired help, he gets more than he ever dreamed.

As a bodyguard, I have one rule: don't get attached. Yet Daisy's got me hooked. When I'm asked to protect her, I can't resist. She's warmth and kindness wrapped up in a curvy package, and I'm willing to cross any line to keep her safe. Almost. No matter how torn I am between duty and desire, there’s only one chance I can’t take. For her, I’ll risk anything—except for my heart.

Zelena Ortega thought she knew the price of fame. Long hours and a lack of free time didn't matter when the payoff made her feel so alive. Performing music that comes from her heart to enthusiastic crowds of ecstatic fans—there's no other feeling like it in the world. But when the spotlights drop and the buzz fades, she's left empty and alone. There's only one bright spot in that darkness, and it would be a huge risk to make a move on the Beta bodyguard who takes such good care of her while her contract forbids her from claiming mates, true or chosen.

Monsters are made, not born. He was both. I just didn't realize it until it was too late. He forgave me for running once. This time, if he finds me, there'll be no escape. He'll make me his wife, even if he has to carry me down the aisle to do it. And that's before he knows what I'm hiding from him. A secret nine months in the making…
