I had no choice but to disappear that night. It ripped my frickin' heart out. Now I'm moving my headquarters to Boulder with one objective: Win Mandy back. Damn, this is going to be hard. She's feisty and sassy and doesn't obey my orders. She wears short skirts on purpose—just to drive me wild. My dark past is following me. This fake engagement will keep her safe. But I'll show her how real my love is.

"Two predators now circle me in this den of enemies. One I came to hunt, and one I never saw coming." Dark mages don't deal in warnings—only executions. So when assassin-in-training Esme Salem is tasked with infiltrating a magical defense academy and eliminating Kieran Mazrov—a deadly mage...

My teammates can't know how much she tempts me. Her brother certainly can't know the things I'm imagining doing to her. We'll both keep pretending we're just having fun, even when she winds up sharing my bed in secret. We both agree it's harmless. Just casual. But when her old life comes calling, will I keep pretending, or will I put it all on the line?

I know I shouldn't want the girl next door. It's not fitting for a single dad or a fertility doctor of my reputation. Plus, I need a nanny… last minute. She's the only one who can help me out. When I finally work up the nerve to ask her, she's out on the driveway arguing with her parents. Something about her having a fiancé? Damn…But then they're all looking at me. And I'm suddenly accidentally fake engaged!?! So I'll play her fiancé.

In my world, marriage is a transaction between two families. Nothing more. So, when the head of the Mancini crime family approaches me with an offer to marry his daughter in exchange for what I need to destroy my enemy, I accept. But when a woman I've never heard of shows up on the contract, questions arise. If forcing her hand in marriage is what it takes to get what I want, then so be it. A wife was never meant to be anything more than a business transaction. A means to an end.

With my abusive past fading into the background, I find myself at a crossroads, torn between what I feel and what I believe. In a world where loyalty is everything, I must navigate the treacherous waters of love and survival, where one wrong move could be my last. I'd not thought I'd survive the night after I did the unthinkable to escape my soon-to-be husband. Then, three men came to my rescue, snatching me up from what could have been my last night on this earth and treating me like a princess.

When Niccolò Silvestri broke my heart three years ago, I swore I'd never speak to him again. But he's back, and he's prepared to do anything to reclaim me as his. Growing up as the daughter of a don, I always knew I'd have to enter an arranged marriage. After meeting Nicco, I thought my fate would go another way, then it was all ripped right out from under me—by him. Nicco might have been the love of my life in college, but I've changed since then. I'm no longer the naive girl who will do anything for him.

Getting mated to the enemy? Not an effing option. Elodie I don't have time for this. I'm a warrior maiden, oath-sworn to the Enclave to live and die by my sword in the protection of the omegas. Not only is he the enemy, giving into the pull between us would ruin my career. Because the maiden...

For all the lovers of a mafia romance with the "who did this to you?" trope. Luna The shadows still stalk my steps, even after two years. His voice still haunts my dreams, even after all this time. I swore I'd never dance with devils who paint their stories in blood again. Yet here I am, undone...

Where I come from, there's no forgiveness for a whistleblower, even if I saved countless lives. Unemployed with a wrecked reputation, my only option is a pity job as a leadership consultant for a secret, government-employed team of assassins. After moving clear across the country, I thought I'd feel safe from the ones who want revenge for my so-called valor, but then I met him. Linc. The ghost in the shadows, who will never be seen for the hero he is.

I heard the stories about Savage Ax. They're whispered among vampires everywhere in the Hidden Realm. He's dangerous, merciless, a predator even among monsters…but nobody told me that he was dangerously sexy, too. Now, on top of having to go searching for a vampire out there in the human world infested with sorcerers, I have to do it with him by my side.

Fight like a man...or a girl disguised as one. I'm a princess disguised as a boy at a supernatural academy. But this isn't any normal school. We're training to be assassins. All I have to do is survive.

After giving the order to have my wicked fiancé dealt with, I'm now finding it difficult to accept what I've done. I find myself in the clutch of those who wish to destroy the men I've fallen for, and I'm thrown right into the deep end of the darkness that haunts my men. Will I wind up just another casualty in the war between families? Or will the darkness bring out the worst of us all, including me? When Veronica is stolen from us, our promise to keep her safe is tested, and the depth of our feelings for our little stray make themselves known. 

Houston, this was not part of the plan. Not even a little tiny bit. He's not my fated mate, yet here I am, pregnant regardless. Leigh It's not supposed to be possible, but I guess when your BFF is some sort of unicorn wolf with special powers, things tend to get a bit wonky. But that's not...

She fell into my arms as her entire world fell apart. And I was never letting her go. Reed I've been alone for over three hundred years. The darkness is around every corner, trying to swallow me whole as I watch my packmates one by one find their true loves, while I stand permanently on the...

He's nearly twice my age. My dad's best friend. And our scandalous hookup leaves me with a secret I can never tell. Ethan Savage was my forbidden crush. All salt-and-pepper, custom suits, and a bossy, dirty mouth. The man who watched me grow up… then bent me over the bathroom sink at a bar and...

I've survived everything the world could throw at me, but now a new surprise has me wondering just what this life holds for me. I've found myself in a situation like once before, but my feelings around it this time are vastly different. My men are nothing like the one who took away something...

Nico Morrelli. My blackmailer. A liar. I stole from him. And when he came to collect, the money was gone. I used it to try and save someone I loved, but it still wasn’t enough.

She was my angel, and I was her devil. Maybe that's how it was always meant to be. Lucien The quiet little healer? She can't be my mate. My wolf was desperate—we were dying. Poisoned. Tortured. It's the only explanation. But when I wake up, she's there at my side, and my wolf is nearly feral...

I'm a matchmaker for New York's elite. But my own love life is a complete disaster. I go on a blind date, expecting to meet a stranger. But instead, I'm locking eyes with Adrian Stone—my dad's best friend. The silver fox single dad I've fantasized about for years. We're both hiding behind fake names. Is he pretending not to recognize me, too? Either way, I play along. And that night, I did something I shouldn't have. Several times—if you know what I mean. He doesn't ever have to find out who I really am, right? Wrong.
