Subleasing my best friend's Bay Area apartment came at the perfect time—an easy way to escape memories of a broken engagement and start fresh. She promised the list of outrageous rules I agreed to were nothing to worry about. Then the elusive landlord appeared next door and everything changed. Hotter than hell soccer superstar, Ryland Bates. He turns me on with his muscles and take charge attitude. Too bad every time he opens his mouth I want to shove the list of rules down his throat. Aspen ran off with her prince charming and left me to slay the dragon. 

Randold, better known as Rand, was no ordinary individual. Despite his best efforts, he possessed an extraordinary secret—he was a Super. Well, technically speaking, he belonged to that exceptional group, but he concealed his true nature from the world. For Rand possessed a remarkable ability to manipulate all forms of energy, even the Superpowers of others, a power that, if discovered, would undoubtedly land him in dire trouble with the government. The consequences ranged from imprisonment to something far worse.

Is three days enough time to fall in love? Probably not. Simone Stevens is on the beach for one reason. A tan. The super sweet New Yorker is there to relax not look for a man, even if her mom disagrees.

I took an oath to destroy them all. That not a single goblin would remain on this world. Trapped in the skeleton of an old dark elf ruin, deep beneath the trees and grass. I found her. The festering goddess that unleashed this plague upon the world. The one I would need to destroy, in order to complete my life’s mission. But she too, longs for the end. Despite my efforts to uphold my oath, I am thrust into a new world to start my slaughter once again. But the twisted creatures of my nightmares aren’t here.

Ben Coleman left his hometown and the family business that should have been his to pursue his true passion: art and tattooing. Coleman Ink has become his world, and he's tailored the business to fit his life the way he wants it, rather than the life that was originally laid out for him. Until early one morning he's woken up by what he thinks is an intruder only to find it's just his new neighbor. His new neighbor, who has no regard for her own safety, wakes up way too early, and seems to have made it her job to tempt him.

With grad school under my belt I'm ready to start the next chapter of my life. San Francisco is a brand new city. I have an amazing apartment, a new job, family, and friends to keep me occupied. Life in the city will be easy. Keep my head down, don't break any of the ridiculous rules in my lease agreement, get my best friend through her nasty relationship drama, and stick to my five year plan. I've got this. Or at least I would if I could figure out why my heart skips a beat every time I see my hot neighbor.

As a financial analyst, Rachel Bai is more comfortable with numbers than people. When her boss promotes her to head a team in San Francisco, his message is clear—she has one year to build a successful team and become an effective leader. Rachel sets out to discover how to be more comfortable interacting with people, but a drunken night meant for research results in a mechanical bull ride and a one-night stand with a sexy stranger—definitely not part of her plan.

San Francisco attorney Cecily Chang is ready to tackle the New Year head on, so she creates a list of resolutions guaranteed to reboot her life—right after her dutiful visit home to Sunset Park, Brooklyn, for the Lunar New Year. Cecily prepares to face her critical, meddling mother, nosy relatives, and the chaos and drama family togetherness brings. At least the food will be delicious. This holiday, Cecily vows to remain calm—as long as she doesn’t see him.

Jadyn and his friends are eager to earn the title of griffin knight. They've studied magic and warfare for years, but this is not a drill and their enemy is skilled. Hidden forces haunt their every step to the front lines and beyond. Juggling the responsibility of a squad leader, new magic, and the affections of two beautiful fellow riders, Jadyn must adapt to war and decide what it truly means to be a Griffin Knight.

Getting assassinated sucks. Just ask Thomas, a man from Earth who made a few too many enemies. Or you could ask Lucian, the crown prince of another world who met a similar fate. But if you were to ask either of them, then you'd actually be asking the same man, as Thomas' soul was crammed into Lucian's body during their simultaneous assassinations. The Goddess who reincarnated him didn't do it for free, though. She tasked Lucian with the simple quest of saving the Almekian Kingdom from the brink of collapse.

I’ve always been a scrapper, so when I was snatched from my world by shadow creatures and hauled to another one, I did as I’d always done. I fought. But I still didn’t know anything about where I was. My luck was in, because I quickly had the good fortune of meeting a sexy prophetess and a gorgeous, blue-skinned, redheaded mage who said she was something called a moonwisp. Yeah, magic was a thing. The problem with that? Everyone in the world had some. Magic, that is. Everyone but me. I guess that’s what I get for coming from a non-magic world.

Aaron Lange has pinned all his hopes on law school. He's been busting his butt to keep his grades up and keep the scholarship he's worked so hard to earn.

It will take all his self control to ignore his distracting feelings and double-down on his studies.

When keeping the world safe from horrors from beyond the veil, you have to expect the unexpected. Like the mayor and her coven of witches trying to recruit your girlfriend. Or the new drug on the streets turning people into mushroom-infested monsters. Or the FBI working overtime to cover up half a cornfield going missing. But, oh well. Keeps life interesting, if nothing else.

Four years alone in the Oregon wilderness cured Ethan Reed of a lot of things. Corporate burnout. Panic attacks. Any expectation that life would ever surprise him again. Then a wounded elf collapsed in his yard during a blizzard. Lyra is a silver-haired ranger fleeing hunters who've been capturing her kind. Mara is a born werewolf with amber eyes and a tactical mind sharper than her fangs. Nerissa is an ancient naiad who moves through water like it's an extension of her soul. None of them should exist. All of them need his help.

Roman Dravik was a warrior born in the cage—an ex-soldier turned MMA fighter with nothing left to lose. Dragged through the Veil into the world of Avalon, Roman finds himself in a land ruled by kings, dragons, and magic.

Neuromuscular degeneration. That’s the scientific term for when a psionic Elite begins to go insane. Ward Moreno thought he was immune, but now he’s losing his memories. While he knows the loyal women at his side will never leave him, he can’t protect them if he can’t function. As the vengeful shaman Malagath continues to take revenge on all humanity, Ward’s only chance is to travel to ancient monastery deep in Galatea. There he’ll either find a cure...or lose his mind forever.

Thanks to the unconditional love and support from the women in his life, Ward Moreno has recovered the memories he lost due to SigNet’s brutal experimentation. Yet before he and his flock can celebrate, Doctor Hano attacks while seeking a new subject for his experiments: Tara Fiore.

It wasn't easy being the local slayer. Especially these days, when dragons owned the banks, vampires were peddling health insurance, and demons ran the strip clubs. Still, I'm not exactly hurting for work. Because no sooner do I finish putting down a wannabe necromancer than I get home to find a woman on my porch with her body tattooed in mystic runes, clutching an eldritch cube, and with a hell of a tale to tell. To make matters worse, there's a cult after her, a wolf-girl biker wants a piece of me (in more ways than one), and the new department store is messing with the time space continuum.

Lucian's companions continued to increase, with the addition of the Fairy Princess, Minerva, and the oni warrior, Teflyn. Yet even with their combined power, the formidable Death Knight proved too much for them to handle. After a surprise visit from a certain young immortal, Lucian decided to head east, to the land of the dark elves.

With his kingdom secured under his rule, King Lucian can finally focus on the important matters, like fixing his kingdom and gearing up for the war against the Esgares Empire. At least, that's what he thought. But seemingly out of nowhere, he receives a summoning from the one known as the Fairy Queen. With the mysterious and powerful creature beckoning him to her realm, Lucian finds himself in a mysterious land filled with crystalline trees and surrounded by powerful monsters. The only upside is that fairies are cute. And at least they're not annoying, like pixies.
