Since escaping the demonic realm six months ago, I’ve honed my skills and my rage hunting the craven evils of New York City alongside the witches who saved me. Vigilantes, they call us. Cold-hearted killers. Monsters of the night. If only they knew how true that was—what our pasts have shaped us to be.

It’s funny how everything can change in an instant. I went from being an invisible wallflower with no friends, no dreams, and no future to being thrust into a world of dragons and magic. I’ve bonded with Killian, my sexy-as-sin partner and my dragon rider mentor, who has been in this world all his life. Together, we will raise our dragons into adulthood and protect the realms from evil.

Fact 752: Karma was a vindictive wench, and Luck, no lady. Allie never believed in Karma, but after the week she'd had, she was prone to believe that if such an entity existed, it had to be a woman. Only a woman could hold such an ugly, nasty grudge, and make Allie's life so impossibly miserable. If spying for the enemy and a broken heart wasn't enough, someone had even stolen her favorite heels. Classy, right? Bad luck strikes again.

The second book in an Air Awakens prequel trilogy about the Golden Guard.

But the woman lives a mercenary's life, and Baldair quickly learns that her loyalty comes at a high price. When he discovers the bounty on her head, the prince must choose between his responsibilities to his father's Empire and the woman who has captured his heart as a soldier, and as a man.

A broken mate, a determined wolf, and a bond that can’t be broken. For six years, River has been missing. It doesn’t matter that we only knew each other for mere weeks before he disappeared. He’s my fated mate and everything I’ve done since he’s been gone has been to get him back.

When Connor's doctor forces him to take it easy and go deep into cottage country for some much needed R&R, he lands on an old cottage veranda in Muskoka which lacks the luxuries he’s accustomed to. Maya Summer, a recent business grad, has been waiting for opportunity to come a knockin’ and not only has it arrived on her doorstep, but it’s presented itself in a very sexy package.

But when a big city developer threatens to destroy all that she loves - including her family - she finally sees her path. The only hiccup is that the man she needs - the sexy and stubborn Tristen Bell - refuses to do anything other than give her tender, knee-weakening kisses every time he sees her.

Fact 752 - If it’s male, it lies. I knew better than to fall for the bad guy. Love only gives you heartache, and in my case? It got me poisoned. Literally. Tough break, right? It gets worse. The Elven government “said” it was only one task, but I should have read the fine print. That teensy job? Taking out the biggest baddie our worlds have ever seen. Spying for the enemy wasn’t the plan, but every attempt to escape only entrenches me deeper into a criminal war I never wanted to be part of. Good thing my mama taught me how to fight dirty.

I made a deal with a demon and it didn’t end well. What else is new? But this is the right path. I know it. All that matters to me is getting all of my mates in one place. Including my newest addition: an incubus named Asher. I used the last of my power to imprison Lucifer. Had I held onto it without my mates to ground me, I would have died. So, in retrospect, I’m just glad to be alive. And now I need to figure out how to get all of my nine mates in one place. Because the realms are trembling.

Lexi Winters thought she’d experienced loss and heartache before, but nothing prepares her for the raw pain at being separated from Ashor Clave - the demon she is soulbound with. Nor does she expect the strange darkness that awakens inside her. The Queen of Darkness has not given up on her plan to conquer the underworld, an epically bad idea on so many levels. If the queen succeeds, a rift will be created in the barrier between worlds, allowing demons to walk freely. Her first attempt might have been thwarted by Lexi’s escape, but the queen is ancient and patient.

Today we ride to Avalon. This is the ultimate graduation test; one that’ll challenge me on every level. The Academy rules say that Killian and I must reclaim an artifact and return home, but I’m not going to stop there. A wild dragon queen holds her lair in the center of Avalon’s mists. This is my one shot at answers - even if I don’t like what I’ll find.

It’s been two years after I’d cleared my father’s name and made Dragonrider Academy my permanent residence. I’m ready to celebrate and finally ride together with Killian. Except, the second we take to the skies, we fly right into a trap. The Wild Dragons have been waiting for this moment to strike. My bond with Killian and my dragon will be tested like they never have before.

Money doesn't buy happiness. Trust me, I've had it all my life and I have nothing. No love. No joy. No pizzaz. To make matters worse, my parents are pushing me to marry someone who doesn't even give me orgasms. Yes, it took me a while to figure out that I needed to stand up for myself. Which is why I was on my way to NYC, boyfriendless and out on my own for the very first time in my life

Wild dragons followed me home. And they’ve learned a new trick. This breed can shift into human form, and they’ve taken my mother hostage. Their price for her safe return? Max Green. I’m more than happy to hand the jerkwad over, but Killian says we need more information, which leads us to working undercover at Max's favorite hangouts. Blending in at my old high school seemed like a good plan at first to get dirt on Max Green and his friends, but after Killian tried to skewer a student, I’m not so sure this plan is going to work out.

Good news: Solstice is alive! Bad news: Dragonrider Academy is under siege by wild dragons. Solstice has been on a journey of his own trying to find me in this realm. I’ll have to get the story out of him one day of how he managed to survive long enough to find me. For now, we need to figure out how to get these wild dragons out of our realm. My plan? We lure them to the Human Realm where reinforcements are waiting. Oh, and maybe we’ll burn Max Green’s house on the way. Win-win.
