This cruel king won’t stop until he breaks me. Dutch Cross, lead singer of The Kings, is a monster. Don’t let his amber eyes, chiseled jaw line, and crooning voice fool you. He prowls the hallways of Redwood Prep like he owns every inch. Brutal. Untouchable. Beast. And when his golden eyes meet mine, I know I’m his next prey. The monster wants me out of Redwood. But the fancy private school is my last chance at a better life for my sister. No one has ever dared to go against Dutch and his equally gorgeous brothers. I’m honored to be the first.

I've never considered myself a guarded person; instead, I choose to wear my heart on my sleeve. With the events of last year finally behind me, I'm finding happiness in the small things again: My flower booth, the diner, and my family. Until a handsome stranger visits my flower booth, the machine fails, and he leaves his card telling me he'll come back later. It's not until he's gone that I notice his name. Reese Walker. My dead ex-boyfriend's far older brother. And he's completely off limits.

It crowned me a princess, then ripped it away overnight. It gave me the determination to restore my family name, despite the hatred of my kind throughout the kingdom. It gave me the courage to walk through the gates of Heir Academy and fight for what's mine. But the funny thing about fate is, that no matter how much I want to take the reins, it has its own plan for me. This journey has led me through trials and up against enemies I could have never foreseen. Despite all this lies a glimmer of hope in four men I never saw coming.

Raising my cousin’s three kids wasn’t in my five-year plan. Actually, it wasn’t in any plan. One minute I’m a single labor and delivery nurse living a quiet life and the next, I’m navigating guardianship hearings, meltdowns, and homework I’m pretty sure requires a math degree. Enter Hayes Carlisle. My best friend’s older brother. Chicago Colts newest catcher. And the man I once kissed and immediately pretended I didn’t. So, when the custody battle I’ve been dreading becomes a reality, I shouldn’t be surprised that Hayes swoops in with a wild idea—a fake relationship.

My last year at Walker University was supposed to be about football, family, and hanging out with my boys. I had it all under control—until her. Emma, the stunning blonde, who intercepts my heart and changes the game. Mysterious, enchanting, unforgettable. One night with her wasn't nearly enough.

Starting over in New York City is Melanie Warren’s chance to prove she doesn’t need her parents’ wealth, high-society status, or her ex-fiancé, Grayson. Determined to stand on her own, she refuses to look back, until her new job brings her face-to-face with the one man she swore never to forgive. Scott Blackwood is no longer the reckless boy with a troubled past. Now, he’s wealthy, powerful, and everything he once dreamed of becoming. But to Melanie, he’s still the man who shattered her seventeen year old heart and never looked back.

Eve has just graduated from high school, but she doesn't know what's next aside from working at the local motel, spying on Kyle, her neighbor, and stealing apples from his orchard. If she doesn't figure things out soon, she'll be stuck at home and treated like a child forever.

I'd made the choice to survive Broken House. I'd chosen to live instead of landing myself in an eternity of torture. At this point in my life, I shouldn't have been surprised that somehow living was more difficult than my previous suicidal ventures. At least I had my men. Three kings. Three sexy, dominant shifters. What could go wrong with that? I mean, really, what possible conflict could result in having six possessive, powerful men surrounding me at all times? I had no doubt that in true Louvre fashion, the conflict would show itself at the most inconvenient time.

Sarah is a preacher's daughter and a people pleaser. She's also on the verge of graduating high school and following her dream of singing in Nashville. The only thing standing in her way is that the entire town of Devil's Head, Missouri thinks she will marry Matt, the son of the town's richest rancher. But Sarah's not sure he's her future husband, especially when his older brother, Isaac, returns home after serving six years in the Army. He has tattoos on his arms and bad habits that are not "father-approved."

The moment Vad crowns me as his queen, everything changes. Magic vanishes across the entire realm and everyone blames us. Now we're hunted through the ruins of our own coronation, betrayed by the guards who once swore loyalty to the Shadow King and Queen. But the enemy doesn't want just Vad's throne. He wants to conquer every kingdom and carve his vengeance into anyone who stands in his way. I never chose this war, but to survive it, I'll have to become someone else entirely. All I know for certain is that Vad and I will set the stars on fire before we ever bow… even if it costs us everything.

How long had I spent wanting and pleading to die? Then, at my darkest moment... I'd found a reason for hope. A possibility for something more than what had been a fairly depressing existence thus far. So, the irony of being as close to death's door as I'd ever been was not lost on me. I suppose this was my opportunity to enjoy the closest I'd ever get to death. I was in Hell. Except hell was far different from what I expected. By day, the Art Deco hotel paradise featured a fantastic martini menu and my handsome psychopathic boss. By night, it became a playground for a bloody hunt.

They say my kind shouldn't exist. But now that the world's seen me, they can't seem to look away… I can't experience love, but somewhere along the way, I became addicted to any substance that could make me forget the beautiful curse I can never escape. Now five supernatural men from my past have unexpectedly returned, dripping with sin and sex, claiming they'll stop at nothing to own me—to figure out what made me leave them all those years ago. They'll kill any other man who gets too close, a fact that thrills me even though I know it shouldn't.

I thought surviving the ruthless fae bridal competition would be my hardest challenge. I was wrong. Chosen by Vad—the dark, dangerously possessive Prince of Shadows—to stand at his side, I've become the prime target in a kingdom built on lies and blood. Rivals would rather see me buried than crowned.

I'm hunted. By my father's insane followers on social media and by a dangerous masked man in real life. I'm his prey. They wage a total war on my life, and danger hides behind every corner. I can't trust anyone when my brother's best friends—the very ones protecting me—are my prime suspects. The truth is that I can't even trust myself. My fake boyfriend has my heart beating too fast… for real, and there's a secret kiss I can't forget. My hockey gods' roommates call a truce, and that's where the real danger is.

Taken from Earth and thrust into a ruthless bridal competition in a fae realm, I'm forced to fight for a crown I don't want in order to survive. Vad, the dark, sexy, powerful heir of the Shadow Fae Kingdom, is doing the one thing he never wanted—searching for a bride. But I don't fit in here, and the top contestants want me dead as soon as I arrive. Bound by Fated magic and trapped in a deadly game, Vad's every cold glance and harsh words remind me that he doesn't want me, and I sure as hell don't want him.

Jack Bradford is the oldest of the Bradford siblings, my best friend’s brother, and my son’s football coach. He’s six-two, dark hair, ocean-blue eyes, broad shoulders, and a square jaw that’s perpetually flexed. He’s a hero in our small town, and the gentle way he cares for his young daughter will melt your… everything. I’ve done my best to show my interest, even walking down the aisle on his arm four times (in his younger siblings’ weddings). Everyone in Newhope ships us, but he always keeps me at arm’s length.

Gabriella Jacobson has one goal for her freshman year of college: get Matthew Cory to fall in love with her. Luckily for Gabby, her best friend Ben attends the same college on a music scholarship. He is the perfect resource—girls love him, and he's more experienced with relationships than she is, since she's never had a boyfriend. When Gabby panics before her first date with Matt, she begs Ben to show her how to kiss. But Ben has a secret, one he's been keeping from Gabby for years. He's in love with her.

Everything that could have gone wrong did. With the threat of the barren, Freya's unknown location, and the High Priest looming over us, it's hard to rest, and Eryx and I are no longer. Mykill keeps telling me that he'll forgive me, but I know he won't. Our enemies continue pressing into us, trying to break us. And those I once considered allies prove themselves as foe. Will Mykill and I be able to partner enough to defeat them? Or will the crushing weight of our enemies flatten us?

I kissed a man in a hockey mask and…I liked it. My twin brother swears that the man behind the mask is one of his three best friends. But he won't tell me which one. All he tells me is that each of his friends would be perfect for me. He has a rule for the perfect boyfriend.

The moment a billionaire walks into my wellness clinic, it’s clear we don’t get along. Somewhere between the incense and the herbal tea, he starts insulting the business and stealing my ideas. Right then and there, I decide he needs to go. But then he offers me a job. One I can’t refuse. I have big dreams and even bigger bills to pay, and this opportunity will set me up for life.
