I've never wanted love. I've got a Ma and two brothers who drive me crazy already. That's more than enough for one man to handle. But then, an old military buddy asks for help protecting a curvy country musician. Kenna Maxwell sings like an angel, looks like a goddess, and doesn't tolerate any of my crap. Her smart mouth drives me wild in a way nothing ever has. But someone is hunting this little sparrow, determined to snuff out her light. Hell will freeze over before I let that happen. I licked her. She's mine.

Blaze’s time in the military unraveled him, but now, he’s knitting himself back together, one stitch at a time. He needs to focus on recovery, not the young omega he finds himself doting over. Logan is back home to lick his wounds, not the hot older alpha who just happens to be his landlady’s grandson. He can see the cracks in Blaze’s armor, and he wants to squeeze his way in, but the ex-soldier has more defenses than a military base. Until an ill-timed heat changes everything.

Roch knows what Truly’s trying to do with her attention-seeking. But he doesn’t think his black heart is worthy of anyone’s love, especially hers.

War has come to Sterling Falls. The guys and I are scattered. Finding them is the first step. Freeing them of their chains is the next.

We had two goals for this business trip: to land a major client, and to make it through 48 hours without killing each other. So far? Only the client is a sure thing. Because we wake up together, hungover and half dressed in my suite. So many questions. Such a freaking mess.

I'd do anything to ruin the man who destroyed my family—even date him. Blood red lips. Dark, endless eyes. I'll never forget those eyes… or forgive them. For the past ten years, Ilya Rykov has haunted my dreams and fueled my passion to take down Chicago's biggest Bratva. The 6'7 foot, tattoo-covered mafia boss is at the head of the operation, after all. All-powerful. Brutal. Untouchable. Before that, though, he was just my older brother's best friend. This schoolgirl's forbidden crush. Now, my brother is dead. So is my father. And I hold Ilya responsible.

Two hours before I'm supposed to say "I do," I run. Right into the arms of Ethan Black. He finds me in a cloud of white lace and sheer panic, stranded in the middle of a Manhattan traffic jam. My savior in a suit. He doesn't care about my last name, my fame, or the scandal brewing in my wake. All he sees is me. And for the first time, I dare to believe in the possibility of a different future. But freedom comes at a price. Falling for Ethan might be the most reckless thing I've ever done. It might cost me everything.

The world teeters on the brink of a fated apocalypse and time is running out.

Racing against the clock to fulfill the only prophecy that will keep them alive, she must find a spell that will bring the young queens into their full power before war is upon them.

New witch and midwife Cassie Strega helped a human mother through the tumultuous birth of the queen of the demons, and now Cassie and the baby have been kidnapped by one of the demon princes fighting each other to lay claim to their new queen. Cassie hopes she can appeal to the human side of the child in order to save humanity, but as the child feeds upon her soul, Cassie must also battle the four demon-prince-uncles who intend for the infant to fulfill her dark destiny.

Everything in life has a price. Nothing is ever freely gifted. The universe always comes, whether in the brightest, cheek-aching second of the day or the darkest, most plaintive hour of the night, to collect its payment. To rattle and shake your world. To slither into the illusion of Eden painted by strokes of lies and deceit. And I had left the door open for it, welcoming the thief into my house to steal what was dearest to me. Even if I had done every unthinkable, irrational, detestable thing to prevent it.

What is a life? A collection of memories? A series of glorious highs and heartrending lows? Is it a purpose, cumulative or singular? Or is it something more? Something beyond what is tangible or immaterial? Something beyond even what is found within us. Is it a million little touches? A thousand laughing smiles? Hundreds of shed tears and dozens of stolen kisses on a few desperate sighs? Is it the thread of yourself that you leave behind in those around you? The lives you're unknowingly fated to change simply by existing.
