Mira is a fighter. She’s also an assassin for the elite order, prepared to do whatever it takes to stop the tyrant king and his brutal son from taking everything the people have. But when she’s chosen to kill the crown prince, she accidentally kills the wrong person.

The lake might be cold, but this thing between us is white hot. My best friend’s little sister. You know, the one that’s off limits. And she has been since we were kids. But that ain’t saying I wasn’t looking. She’s all grown up now and hotter than sin.

In the quaint town of Whispering Pines, Minnesota, where the scent of freshly baked cinnamon rolls wafts through the air, Emma, the owner of the charming local bakery, finds herself thrust into a web of intrigue when the town festival takes a dark turn. Shockwaves of murder ripple through the community, leaving Emma and the dashingly handsome Detective Lindberg determined to uncover the truth.

A tantalizing novella filled with desire and seduction that will leave you breathless. Meet Colin, Finnick, and Alex – the notorious trio of temptation at UCLA. As a shy introvert, I know I should keep my distance from guys like them, particularly Colin, who seems to thrive on making me blush with his alluring innuendos. The only reason I'm drawn into their world is because of Finnick. We met four weeks ago during a university lecture, and since then, he's been my daytime study buddy and the star of my secret nighttime fantasies.

Power corrupts absolutely. The Vanguards of Scion is a dark epic fantasy story about five characters who are given great powers by dark beings from another dimension. We follow the five as they move through the East Realm and soon discover their powers have unimaginably horrid costs. The stakes keep stacking against them as the world they once knew begins to change forever because of their own mistakes.

I only pretend to be the town psychic—which means my crystal ball never told me I'd be moving in with my elderly aunt and dealing with her hot, grumpy neighbor. Sure, she's hilarious, and she's letting me stay in her tiny guest house in return for dealing with her "ghost problem." The catch? I don't really believe in the supernatural. Even worse, Ward Carlisle, her hunky neighbor, is a real pain in my pumpkin patch. The fact our families have been feuding over some land for centuries doesn't help, either.

I'm done juggling dead-end jobs and deadbeat boyfriends. It's time to nail down my goal of owning a hotel—and fix my friendship with my ex-best friend, Jack Colson. He's a big-shot investor, and I'm going to need one. Nailing him barely crosses my mind. I might actually get my life in order, especially if I snag the deep (and deeply weird) discount for staying an entire weekend at my dream property. It's hard not to fall in love with the place.

I might be a rookie Chicago firefighter, but I’m on top of the world. I’ve just earned my spot on Rescue Squad at legendary Engine 6, can get all the action I want both in and out of the bedroom, and am possessed of an enviable sneaker collection. Nothing can harsh my vibe except her—Cassandra Ferguson, my brother’s sister-in-law, or as I affectionately label her: the blister-in-law. Ever since I met her, she’s looked down her perky little nose at me, never mind that I’m a good foot taller.

I worked so hard to slay every demon and fight every battle to be by her side. Now, I stare at the one match that could destroy everything we've gained. Me. I thought I had the tools, the knowledge, to thrive... to survive, but I was wrong. When you can't hide it, fight it, or mask it, there's only one thing left to do. Run.

My heart is healed. That fear is gone. It has been replaced with faith. I have been called many things in my life. Actor. Director. Producer. Friend. Brother. Son. But of all these, husband is the one I’m most proud of. Alexandra has filled me with a love I thought I’d never have again. The ferocity with which I will protect it is the only thing I truly fear. I won’t let anything take that or her away.

I’ve been cemented in my past and afraid of my future. It nearly drove her away. She believed enough for both of us. Now, it’s my turn. This is not just her future or mine we’re fighting for. It’s ours. I want us to build a life that no man or woman can destroy. She tells me I’ll never leave you again. I’m going to hold her to it. My heart is still healing, but her kind and forgiving soul, her beautiful spirit, and her passion called me from the first moment. The fear is leaving. It’s being replaced with faith.

I have dreams that are waiting to burst out of me, but my present is suffocating my future. I want more for myself regardless of what some might think. I vow to find my center in a new city where I will be able to make any and every choice without guilt or fear. That is until I find myself terrified of something new, Julian Stone. My heart is still healing but I find myself completely drawn to a man who is dark, sexy, passionate, and terrified to live. I know how that feels. He appears to be living his dream, but can’t lay his past to rest. It bleeds into his every waking moment.

As the illegitimate daughter of the Southern King, 16-year-old Princess Ebony can never inherit her father's throne. In a world of brown-eyed people, her green eyes show her true heritage—the daughter of an evil enchantress from the Other kingdom. It doesn't matter that Ebony refuses to embrace the tainted magic in her blood. Only Prince Onyx of the Western Kingdom seems able to look past her strange eyes and see who she really is.

Pillage, plunder, mayhem, and wicked magical tattoos...sounds like the perfect life for pirate Captain Maggy Low. Her life is a dream of violent chaos if you don’t count the fact that magic causes her first mate’s brain to melt until he turns to a beast intent on eating his fellow crewmates.
