Zain Lockwood is happy living out in the woods on his own. Though he is the alpha of a clan, he prefers solitude. Until a strong, beautiful but wounded female ends up as his neighbor.

Parker Nolan is home to attend her cousin's wedding after years of living abroad representing her family's nonprofit foundation. She's caught off guard when she has a fling with the best man. Ryan is smoking hot, super sweet, and so alpha he makes her toes curl. She might want to stick around a while to see where things go with him. Other than the bedroom, that is. 

The war that took so much from the Dearia-shifters may have ended, but they're still dealing with the aftermath. The evil that wants complete control over the planet seeks out a powerful relic that gives him anything he desires. It's up to Jinelle, Harland, Turk, Seff, and Merric to find the relic before Xaxhin does. All the while, Jinelle's powers grow stronger and more uncontrollable. Then again, when has chaos ever been controlled?

Shaylin Daniels feels an intense pull toward Daeria. The more she learns about the planet and the alien-shifter races who live there, the more she knows she needs to go. It was like a calling - a knowing that she needs to do this. To help a dying planet rebuild. So she signs up for their surrogate program. When she arrives, a power awakens inside her, and suddenly a lot of things makes sense to her. 

Growing up as a foster kid wasn't easy, but Adrienne White was lucky enough to have a loving family to call her own. Now, she's ready to pay their kindness forward and help a dying planet by being a surrogate. Going to Daeria will also give her the fresh start she desperately needs. What she doesn't expect is the alien planet's magic to wake up powers within her when she arrives. Four men. One woman. Adrienne was definitely not expecting to find four mates. Tempers are bound to flare when such very different personalities are in love with the same woman.

Choosing to be a surrogate for an alien race wasn't a hard decision for Katrina Paxton. Framed for a murder she didn't commit, the former FBI agent had a choice between prison and becoming a mom. Helping to repopulate a dying planet sounded ideal to her.

When the courts end Dr. Vanessa Bryant's career, she's contacted by a secret government facility to work as a doctor - on another planet. Having no other option, she agrees. On planet Daeria, she finds her two escorts are sexier than sin. She's going to have problems keeping her hands off them and staying professional. Madden and Kian, dragon-shifters from Daeria, have been closer than brothers all their lives. Sharing one surrogate is more than ideal to them. 

Veterinarian Janice Sullivan has been horse-crazy all her life and only wanted to work on her family's cattle farm, the Three Sisters Ranch, but her father's constant criticisms drove her away, forcing her to choose a new career in dressage and leaving her secret crush behind. With the ranch facing possible bankruptcy, Janice has an idea to save it - a woman's retreat. With Christmas around the corner, Janice is not only hoping for a chance under the mistletoe with the one man she's been unable to forget, but also to give a few cowgirl wannabes a chance in the saddle.   

The Ballers may have the upper hand at RHS. I underestimated them, their cruelty, their ability to look the other way when something hits them over the head, but camp is a whole other story. Their asses are mine.

The Vampire Cabal meets only under the direst circumstances. But since Skye Claremont's coven proved wild magic has returned, the cabal has gathered in New York City to decide the fate of the powerful mages. Skye doubts her oracular powers can help. After ten years indentured to a demon gang, paying off her father's gambling debts with visions, her freedom has come despite her weak abilities, not because of them. But when her father sends a text to demand a meeting, she doesn't need to read the future to know trouble will follow.

Left with no choice but to serve in my aunt's army, my mates and I are forced to navigate the perils of her demon-infested court while keeping my young nieces safe. Before we become puppets in a mad mage's scheme of vengeance, I must convince Queen Malvolia that she's about to wage war based on an illusion. That almost twenty-five years ago an evil mage had tricked the sorceress queen into setting her country ablaze and hunting my mother, her dear twin sister. That deception and paranoia had led to my father's unjust execution. And her real enemy is far more vengeful than her imagined one.

They came for me. Silhouettes of dragons blackened the sky. I wrapped my arms around myself, trying to choke back the panic rising in my chest. There's nowhere to run, no place to hide, no way to delay the inevitable. I looked at Tynan. In his eyes, there was nothing but cold, unyielding...

They say mated dragonborns can hear each other. I never believed it. Not until I was trapped in an abandoned building, surrounded by flesh-eating monsters, terrified and alone. My body was failing, but my mind reached into the void, begging for someone to hear me. Then the door burst open. The...

He's watching me again. The dragonborn warrior—a stranger. What does he want from me? I search my memories, desperate to place that face… those dangerous eyes. But nothing comes. The councilors are losing patience. I'm running out of time. As the heiress to the Red Queen, I must name one of...

Wynn takes what she wants. Nothing stops her: not walls, not spells, not even a coven of clever mages. Certainly not rules. Her immunity to magic gives her access to rare artifacts and a life of luxury, but her cunning, fearlessness, and defiant nature protect her in a world where no one cares. It's worked for centuries—but now the horrible dreams haunting her suggest a corruption has gotten past her guard. Inconvenient timing, since somehow a mysterious stranger is tracking her, moving closer with every job.

After escaping Queen Malvolia's mad court and reuniting with my beloved twin sister, we have no choice but to flee to the Fallax Islands, deadly wyvern breeding grounds that could hold the key to our survival. As we work out a plan to defeat the evil that threatens to destroy all of civilization, we also must heal the rift between our family, for we can't battle external forces if we're fighting amongst ourselves. I'm not sure I can reconcile with our parents after their deception and neglect. And I doubt our mother will forgive Malvolia's cruelty, or that Malvolia will forgive herself.

But she established Witch's Brew, her bookshop and mage's office, as a cozy place of safety and protection. When the brutally handsome vampire Ravyr appears, decades after she thought he died in the ruins of her master's lair, Maya is prepared for a fight. Until he saves her life instead—and they realize they have an enemy in common.

Once a snake, always a snake, huh? No matter how much Luna tries to prove herself, everyone will always blame her for the invasion of Nightfire Academy and theft of a dangerous spell book. Well, to hell with them. Luna hasn't got time to convince them otherwise, juggling her studies, magic practice, three handsome guardians, and a mysterious stranger that she can't stay away from. When a dark spell unlocks her memories, she opens a door she'll never close. Monsters court monsters, and turns out, she's one of them.

Luna has run from the shadows for as long as she can remember, hiding from the darkness chasing her all her life. A threat that killed her parents to capture her. Tired of running, of not having anywhere to call home, she casts a spell to send the demon hunting her back to hell. Oops. Bad move. An ancient guild detects her magic and intercepts her. They want her power and give her the choice: train with them or die.
