My name is Rachel Price, and two months ago, I walked away from the perfect man. Sweet and funny, and so hot it should be illegal—we shared one magical night. No names. No strings. I never thought I'd see him again. I was wrong. It turns out Mr. Perfect is the playboy grinder for the Jacksonville Rays, the NHL's hottest new hockey team . . . and I'm his new physical therapist. Oh, and the jerk doesn't even recognize me!

I fell in love with a woman on her honeymoon. Sounds all sorts of wrong, right? I swear it's not what you think though. I didn't break up a marriage. It was over before it even started. She was all dressed up with nowhere to go when her fiancé ghosted her on her wedding day. I would have thought an experience like that would leave a woman heartbroken and sobbing into a tub of ice cream for days on end, but not Scarlett Dayne. After attending her reception and partying into the night on her fiancé's dime, she posted to social media in search of a travel companion for her upcoming honeymoon.

Lainie Eaves has no idea she's descended from shifters. She doesn't even know shifters exist because when she was born human, her grandparents made sure she would never learn the truth about her family. But now they're dead. And she's back in Hideaway Cove to deal with their crumbling old estate—and discover everything that was kept hidden from her. Hideaway Cove is the only safe haven griffin shifter Harrison Galway has ever known—a place where, as a shifter, he can live without hiding what he is. When gorgeous, curvy Lainie arrives in town, he knows at once that she's his fated mate.

But when he and Ava collide, a fierce attraction blossoms between them despite their mutual hatred.

Winter break wasn't supposed to turn into a whirlwind romance for Charlotte Hodges. She finds her dream pack landing in her lap, just a year before she's due to graduate. But life is never that easy, especially when the men she falls in love with are all getting drafted to different hockey teams. Long distance is hard. It's even harder when the people you trusted the most aren't there for you in your worst moment. Charlotte thought she could move on. They would never put her over hockey and Charlotte knows her worth. Unfortunately, she can't seem to forget about the men she fell in love with.

Carly Catterson has one rule: never date a coworker again. After her last office romance ended in humiliation—complete with a public breakup and a change in careers—Carly swore off love in the workplace. And especially love with Nate Farnsworth, the infuriatingly charming office rival at her new job. But when Nate needs a fake girlfriend to fool his parents, and Carly needs a way to make her ex squirm, a mutually beneficial arrangement is born. The plan is simple: fake smiles, staged hand-holding, and absolutely no real feelings involved.

I was lucky to escape my last pack with nothing but a few scars—a cheap price to pay for my freedom. It was supposed to be just another run to calm my wolf, but I wasn't going to ignore those cubs' screams for help—even if they were from a rival pack. What I didn't expect to find was a feral vampire, or the wolf who would change everything. The Alpha who caught me is like all the others-all raging temper and muscles. And yet . . . his pack is different than mine. But no matter how much my wolf cries 'mate', I need to break free.

Jacqueline thought she already had her happy-ever-after—until her husband left her for a woman who could give him a child (and already had). Now she's divorced and working herself to the bone to pay off the mortgage on a house that will never be full of the children she dreamed of. Jacqueline doesn't know what to expect when she responds to an emergency call-out during a storm, but it's nothing like this: three lost children who can turn into seals, and a ruggedly handsome man who makes her blood run hotter than it ever has before.

Having a pack isn't even on the radar for Dr. Piper Blake. Her focus is strictly on her surgical residency. There's no time for dating when the standards you set for yourself are sky high. Unfortunately for Piper, the captain of the New Haven Foxes has a different idea. Alexi Bandnin is ready to make this his best season yet, by winning the Cup, and building his dream pack in the process.

When my best friend tells me she's finally following her dreams and starting her own business, I couldn't be happier. Since college, we've talked about creating a website where people of all types can feel free to be themselves and explore what turns them on. So when she asks me to run it with her, I'm all in. Until she asks me to sleep with her and her husband, and post it on the website.

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.

When I was sold into slavery, I made sure I wasn't worth bedding. I bit. I fought. I made such a snarl of things, they drugged me to try and calm me down. They would have eventually won, had I not been rescued. Silly me, thinking that was the end of it. Of course, I would crash land on an island. And now I'm being hunted on this exiled sector of brutal vampires. They're after my body and my blood. Magnus is one of them. I should be terrified of the gorgeous male who has taken me to his lair.

Rylee Adder left Eden thinking she'd put the worst day of her life behind her. She was wrong. Separated from her new family and Colton—the man she never thought she'd have to live without—Rylee finds herself in Boston facing her biggest challenge yet: surviving the Vipers' Den.

Super Bowl Champion. All Pro running back. Leading rusher in the NFL. All titles I've strived for my entire career and now that I've achieved them, the pressure to maintain that status has come with a price. Anxiety is a beast. And it doesn't care that I'm supposed to look tough on the outside, it still rages within me. But hiding behind lie after lie, it's only a matter of time before everything around me starts to crumble and come to light.

Jaxon Thorne doesn't believe in second chances. Not for someone like him. He screwed up too many times, burned too many bridges, and paid the price in prison. Now he's at Valor Ridge, a remote Montana ranch for broken veterans, trying to keep his head down and his past buried. His only plan is to train dogs, stay sober, and survive the silence. Then he meets her–the café owner with wary eyes and a kid who looks at Jax like he's a hero.

My dad has been the coach of the Charleston Coyotes for as long as I can remember. All the time I've spent in ice rinks has taught me two things: 1. I will NEVER date a hockey player. As a single mom, it's not like I have time for romance anyway. 2. Nothing smells worse than hockey players after a game. And I work as a dog groomer, so I have experience with smelly animals. It's amazing how quickly my rules are forgotten when Darius walks into my pet salon.

I am not sure how much longer I can do this. Even though I work at an upscale rehabilitation center in Boston, I am struggling to make ends meet after my flatmate moved out. To make matters worse, I send every extra penny I have to my ailing mother back in England. I am beginning to feel quite lonely and hopeless. Enter billionaire Maxwell Banks, the most condescending, demanding, spoiled patient I have ever worked with. When his assistant offers me a million dollars to be his private nurse, I immediately turn him down. But then he sweetens the deal, and I just can't say no.

Marriage never looked easy on the outside looking in, but with Simon, life had been better than ever. I found my soulmate in a man who cared for me, loved me feverishly, and protected me against all odds. But regardless of the love we shared for each other, our eyes often roamed to others. Even at night, when we spent time in each other's arms, we mused over the ideas of what it would be like to explore happily again, while remaining committed to each other.

My bonds are broken. Gone. I'm left alone to pick up my shattered pieces. A bondless, pregnant omega. It feels like I can't breathe without them. We were all each other had in the world. Or so I thought. One of my alphas had a brother that he kept secret for ten years. A twin brother. Link shows up out of the blue with his pack, wanting to help me. But I can't look at him without longing for someone I'll never see again. They think they can fix me, glue all my broken pieces back together. Joke's on them. My jagged shards will never fit back together again.

It had been 615 days, two hours, and 16 minutes since he last saw her. In less than 72 hours, he'd bought a dance studio. In ten minutes, she cursed him out and ditched him in said studio. Then, three minutes later, he found her list—and in one second, he changed the trajectory of her life with a single sentence. Sienna Jones didn't have a plan—she had a list. A perfectionist by nature, she was tired of trying to live up to that image. So, she made a list of all the imperfect things she'd never done in her "perfect" life, and by her 21st birthday, she was determined to complete it.
