North, South… and a Star. A six-year war rages in Chicago. Death is postponed by a debt of gratitude. Envy encourages the unthinkable. Hate destroys lives. Love complicates relationships. Two enemies wish for the same thing—to take what the other one holds dear. Amid all the chaos—Layla, the perfect bargaining chip for both sides to manipulate. Divided between two bosses, blinded by her own unfulfilled needs, she ignores the risks and makes an irrevocably dangerous decision.

Dallas Six months ago, a fire on my ranch took my fiancée. And my whole world along with her. But just when I thought I'd never feel again, a six-year-old landed on my porch-with a paternity test confirming what I knew the moment I saw her. Now the people who brought her to me want her back-and I'll do anything to keep her. Even marry the fiery redhead who snuck into my half-built house and charmed my daughter faster than I could throw her out. A fake marriage to keep my daughter safe? Deal, as long it's clear this arrangement has an expiration.

There cannot be only one job in Hideaway Springs. Not that I won't take literally anything at this point, but the likelihood of Levi Reeves hiring me is negative zero. And if he does, I'd be sleeping with the horses, not in his house! Or he'd call the police and 'finally arrest' the town Rogue for all her misdemeanours. But that doesn't stop me from knocking on his door. Besides, his grumpy scowls are easy to tune out when my eyes keep drifting to the rugged edges of his face and sculpted physique.

NICOLE: Some men are just off-limits. Like Royce Collins (aka 'Coach'), who's not only seventeen years older than me but has the sweetest little girl I'm in no shape to be around. She's defiant, calls out BS when she sees it, and hates any woman Coach brings around . . . yep, we'd get along just fine! ROYCE: Some women are just off-limits. Like Nicole Kane, whose twin brother captains the NHL team I coach. And whose dark past makes her a questionable choice to hire as my six-year-old's new nanny.

North, South… and no Star. Chicago falls into Dante’s hands. His six-year dream becomes a reality. But it means nothing without Layla by his side. The war has ended… peace failed to follow. Tormented by recent events, Dante struggles to choose a path. Betrayal cuts deep, no matter the circumstances, hatred keeps his mind busy but it’s no match for the heart. Going up against love is futile.

When Calla Nikolakis gets the cake commission of her dreams, she’s in love… with how much exposure she’ll get from doing ultra-hot lifestyle guru Jay Rustin’s wedding. Smash cut to twelve hours later. She wakes up buck naked next to Jay, wearing a ring on her finger and sporting a brand-new tattoo. In case anyone’s counting, that’s two bad decisions for the price of one. The next thing she knows, a viral post of her and Jay saying “I do” spreads like wildfire. Everybody and their mama has seen her become Mrs. Jay Rustin.

Daesyn Heartlocke wanted nothing more than to finish her latest assassin-for-hire job, get her boss off her back, and get back to hanging out with her talking monkey. But when the job goes wrong, Daesyn finds herself being dragged into her father’s world of the reapers. The world she ran away from, the world that offers nothing more than darkness. What’s worse? To stay free and, most importantly, alive, Daesyn has to swap places with a student who is due to go to a crazy academy. Royal Reaper Academy is a two-year test, and only one student comes out alive.

Being killed dozens of times wasn’t exactly the plan when Daesyn signed up for the academy, nor was being kidnapped by the insane Seelie Fae King. Four runes exist in the worlds, and the Seelie Fae King wants them all. To get the Cursed Rune, Daesyn has to die. For good this time, and she has no interest in that happening. Days away from her twenty-first birthday, Daesyn needs to escape her captor and get back to the Reaper Realm before the Otherworld gives her a power predicted to destroy the worlds.

Thrown into Gods Chará, a land with no magic and no end, Daesyn has to escape and get back to the world that has been forced to forget her. With a little help from an unexpected goddess and a flash from the past, Daesyn is going for the Otherworld throne her mother once ran from. The world might have forgotten who Daesyn is, but real love can’t be so easily erased. War is here, four worlds are fighting, and Daesyn is nothing more than a thief.

With her new mates at her side, Daesyn heads back into The Otherworld to get her powers, unsure if Poppy has won the Royal Reaper Academy test and unable to help her. The war has begun, not only with the Unseelie and Seelie fae, but with the gods who watch every move made. Can Finn convince his mother to help his mate? Daesyn needs to find a way to get all four runes, save her world from its ruler, and free her people before the gods decide to end them all.
