Devney Perry's Shield of Sparrows, a swoon-worthy romantic fantasy filled with legends and monsters, is The Witcher meets Cinderella.

I never expected to fall for my best friend's little sister, and I definitely didn't count on her breaking my heart. Jade Cole entered my life like a tornado, and I never saw her coming. I should have been strong enough to resist her. After all, she was forbidden, my best friend's little sister, and the bane of my existence. But the more she got under my skin, the harder it was to resist her. Until I couldn't fight back any longer. One kiss led to another, and the more I had her, the harder it was to let go. Then she dropped the bomb I never saw coming.

Ava: I was about to land my dream writing job when I hit a plot twist. See, I inherited a fixer-upper inn in my small hometown. Where my first love—the guy who broke my heart—still lives. I wish I could say our chemistry had disappeared. But it hasn’t. So now, I have to figure out how to walk down memory lane without repeating history. Because there’s no way I can afford to give him a second chance....

The only thing more inconvenient than being kept in a gilded cage... is being forced to marry a fed to escape it. My name is Bianca Castello. I'm a mafia princess who's being forced to marry a Fed. Apparently, the sexy stranger is desperate enough to make a deal with my brother in exchange for a favor. And favors are hard to come by in this world. But Jack Connelly's an outsider. He hasn't heard the rumors. He doesn't know the things I've done to protect my family or the reason why every single made man refuses to touch me.

The email dropped into my mailbox about 9:30 on Tuesday night. I opened it, surprised to see that the email had been sent to a mailbox and email address I hadn’t used for ages.

When a tragic accident caused Ford Grimes to trade the fast pace of the city for the refuge that came with being a small-town firefighter, the last thing he wanted was romance. Then he met the seductive manager of the local pizzeria and found himself questioning all the rules he’d put into place for his new life.

Garrett Cooper is grumpy. Bossy. Rude. Sparks fly every time we’re in the same room—and not the good kind. While I’m trying to brighten the mood, he’s dismissing me with a roll of his eyes.

Almost everyone in Calico Cove knows how I feel about Mari…well, except for Mari. Truth is, I've had a serious crush on her since high school, but I've been friend-zoned. Only now, her jerk face ex-boyfriend is back in town filming a Christmas movie, and she needs me to be her fake fiancé to prove she's moved on with her life. What do I want in exchange? Real Christmas dates. Hot chocolate, sledding, cookie baking, all of it. Oh, and did I mention the kisses? Yeah, there will be nothing fake about those.

Blake Barrett here. My wicked wrist shot’s on fire, and the NHL spotlight’s on me. But off the ice? Let’s say my skills could use some work. Enter Michaela Wagner, my new neighbor—a sharp attorney with no time for my fumbling. When she offers kissing lessons, I jump at the chance, confident there’s no risk of getting attached. Love isn’t for me, thanks to my parents’ disastrous marriage. Happily-ever-after? Yeah, right.

Live fast and die young has always been the rock ‘n roll dream. For Murderous Crows front man Jake Townsend, it just became an actual nightmare. Jake has screwed up before. Hell, his whole life has been a long string of screw-ups mashed together. But this? This is beyond epic, even for him.

I blame the alcohol. I lost my restaurant business, was forced to sell my dad’s cherished 1967 Chevy Impala, and I got a little drunk. Now I’m waking up with the hottest, angriest guy I’ve ever seen, speeding down the highway like a bat out of hell. Ice-blue eyes hit mine with stomach-clenching force. And he swerves onto the shoulder, ready to kick me out. Needless to say, our romance doesn’t start out sweet.

Trapped in a corner, my only way out was the ruthless billionaire who put me there. In the three years since, we’ve healed each other. We did things in the dark we’re not proud of, things that will forever be kept secret from the world. Those sins forged a bond as strong as the love that binds us together. King and Queen. Freedom and Salvation. Now, we have a chance at forever. And nothing—not a jewelry mystery, our friends’ hijinx, or The King himself—will steal it from us.

To be “just friends” with a guy, you’ve got to follow The Rules: Don’t touch him unnecessarily. Don’t share your intimate dreams with him (even if he asks). Don’t kiss him, and definitely don’t sleep with him. Scout Dunne and I have been “just friends” since childhood. I’m one of the few people who knows the first-round NFL draft pick wants more than a life of sports.

Emery would think Rhys Roman was insane if it wasn’t for this annoying ability she’s had her entire life: she can read minds. And oddly enough, she can’t read his. Suddenly, Emery is ushered into a dark, deadly underworld of the city she loves where Rhys is reigning king. Or at least he is until the curse plaguing him and his vampires turns them all into feral bloodsuckers.

After my parents tried marrying me off to the wealthiest investor, I ditched their sheltered nest and set off with my own agenda. This summer is my chance to begin again. Fulfill the dreams that were previously ignored. The adventure starts at a secluded cabin in the middle of nowhere. That’s where I find him avoiding civilization. Nash Hudson is a broody recluse holding a major grudge. With stormy eyes and a perpetual scowl to match, his dark mood tries to steal my sunshine. I take his hostility personally, only to discover he doesn’t like anyone.

The most humiliating moment of my life begins with an early morning message from my ex’s notoriously heartless best friend. I waste no time removing my accidental tag before the sharp-tongued novelist in me fires off a response to the man who harbored extreme and inexplicable hatred of me during the three years I dated his best friend in college. But I didn’t expect him to respond. And nothing could have prepared me for what he would say…or for all the ways this gorgeous villain with cruel icy blues would become the biggest plot twist my life had ever known.

After Captain John Carlisle’s dance with death, he’s retreated to the serenity of the Oneida village with his beloved Dellis McKesson to hide from the inevitable truth that war is coming to the Mohawk River Valley. When duty calls, and John’s expertise is needed to negotiate a treaty with the Six Nations of the Iroquois and the Crown, he’ll once again be forced to decide between his conscience and his king.

I’ve seen firsthand the monsters that men turn into when they’re hit with the virus. I’ve been at their bedside in the ER when the Task Force comes and hauls them away. I’ve heard the stories of women getting kidnapped right off the street, never to be seen again. What I’m unprepared for is the day my best friend Mal goes missing, only to turn up upstate in a mansion, claiming one of the Awakened beasts is her “mate”.

It’s not you. It’s me. No, seriously. It is me. Not only does my name literally mean “unfortunate”, but that’s the story of my life. Everything I touch turns to crap. An apartment fire - that I swear I was not responsible for - means I’m living back at home with my sex-mad parents. Yay, me! Which is why I need my new job as personal assistant to Cameron Reid to get back on my feet. Three months in this job and I can move back out and, hopefully, remember to turn off my flat iron once in a while.

Spending time with the woman who can’t stand the sight of me? Not my best idea. But I can’t help it. Those red lips suck me in. My job is my life. It’s one of the only things I have going for me. Finding true love? Not in the cards for me.
