In the past three weeks, I’ve gone from a boring adjunct college professor to seeing my own ghostly doppelgänger around every corner. I’m apparently a witch. Thanks, Universe. A little heads up would have been nice. Now, a secret government organization is trying to force me to wield my power for their own dark desires. Just as they’re about to bring the pain, I’m saved by an honest-to-God—yes, that God—angel. He smells nice. His voice is like spun gold. And when he holds me? I’m ashamed to admit…I swoon.

I can't escape my past. West wants to be my future. When West, a former SEAL and my online gaming buddy, begged me to meet him IRL (in real life), one word, one touch, one look sent me fleeing like a coward. Back to my keyboard, online gaming, and the deadline that could make or break my whole programming career. Back where I'm safe. Problem is, West followed.

Hell fractured my soul into dust and left me broken, yet I deserved so much worse. Finally free from Lucifer’s torment, I must atone. But the lives I took and the pain I caused haunt me every day. Half angel, half demon, but nowhere near whole. Until I meet her. I should not want Zoe Dawes, but she whispers her desires in my dreams and chases away my nightmares. When an ancient evil returns, only I can stop him.

For more than 20 years, I lived by my Air Force code. Until I made a choice. Put my family first. Something a soldier is never allowed to do. Now I don’t know who I am. Or where I belong. Getting lost in Mexico sounds like a good idea, but with only guilt and regret as my constant companions, I’ll never figure it all out. Until a chance meeting in a hotel bar changes my course.

Griffin Hargrove: I was CIA elite. Until a terrorist attack stole my arm and most of my hearing. I don’t know what my old boss, Austin Pritchard, is thinking, hiring a broken relic like me. But he trusts me, and that kind of loyalty is a balm to my shattered self-worth. Sloane is more beautiful than pictures can show and bruised in ways that can’t easily be seen. No one has told her I’m her bodyguard, but someone better clue her in soon, because she’s spooked. And the longer I watch her, the more I need to protect her.

Once, Jackson Richards had it in spades. As a member of the United States Special Forces, he fought alongside the bravest and most capable men he’d ever known. Then one mistake landed them all in hell. For six months, he fought. But one terrible day, his captors learned the full extent of his skills, and that sealed his fate.

Twenty years ago, Joey walked out of his life and into a nightmare. One that shattered her soul along with all hope of a normal life - the one she was supposed to have with Ford. After throwing himself into his career as a marine, Ford moved to Boston and, along with a blind former Special Forces soldier, started Second Sight, one of the most elite investigative and security companies in the world. He thought he was happy. Until one phone call turns his world upside down.

After a stint in the Irish Defense Forces, I drifted. No purpose, no place I felt truly at home. Until I joined Second Sight, Boston's leading security and protection firm. It's more than a job. It's a family. One I don't deserve. One of these days, they'll see through my sarcasm and bravado and realize I'm just a screw up. My first solo assignment? Hunt down a trained assassin and stop her. Whatever it takes. But the more I learn about Zephyr, the more I wonder if there's more to this case than meets the eye.

Trevor Moana can’t escape the sins of his past. His kills as a CIA assassin haunt his dreams. Working for Second Sight helps him atone, sometimes even forget. Until Dani Monroe walks through his door. The one person he’s hurt the most needs his help. In Caracas, Venezuela, one shot changed four lives. And going back there could end him.

Do the job. Free the high-value target from a compound in Afghanistan and get out. Simple, right? Until I saw her. She begged me for help. I didn't think. Grabbed her and her kid and ran. FUBAR didn't even come close to covering what happened next. And then I disappeared. It doesn't matter that I had no choice. That the President of the United States ordered me to do the job. I still abandoned them. When she's in trouble, I cant stay away. But how can I convince her my darkness will destroy her?

I'm no hero. Don't much care that the Navy disagrees with me. My years as a SEAL left me with a ledger full of blood, a permanent limp, and a complete inability to function in polite society. Up in the mountains, no one bothers me. Hell, no one even knows I exist. It's better that way.

After a beating that almost killed me, I’m one failed fitness test away from losing my FBI career. I should be focused on grinding out the reps to rebuild my broken body, not on the pretty brunette at the gym.

I don’t do impulsive. Impulsive killed the love of my life. Stole my one shot at happiness. So when I heard about a K&R firm in Seattle lookin' for new recruits, I took a chance. They say they’re a family, but I’m still an outsider. Maybe that’s by choice. This orderly, controlled life ain’t the one I wanted, but I’m making the best of it. Until I meet a man who sets me on fire. We burn hot, but he’s got secrets. Then again, so do I. I’m starting to think nothing can douse these flames. Except a killer hell-bent on revenge.

What do you do when the Angel of Death asks you to steal from one of the most powerful covens in the world?You leave the celestial realm, give up your wings, and sneak into the coven's lair while they're all partying it up in New Orleans. Or, at least that was Maddox Calder's plan. Until a curse leaves him dazed - and in the path of an oncoming car. Hit by a curse after only half a glass of wine, Killian flees, but finds a handsome, broken man in the street, begging for help. Something about Maddox calls to him.

Graham Peck had his life planned out. Serve in the Coast Guard like the rest of his family. See the world. But an innocent New Year’s kiss - with another man - leads to a vicious attack that forces him back into civilian life. A life he has no idea how to navigate. Until he hooks up with a group of deadly, battle-worn soldiers. They don’t care who he loves - as long as he stays on mission.

What would you sacrifice for the woman you love? Your pack? Your memories? Your humanity? Tortured, trapped, and alone, the wolf prays for death, until Mara gives him hope. She can save him. She can free him. And he'll love her forever if she gives him a chance. Can she learn to trust him in time? Or will Cade's world and his secrets destroy them both?

I spent half of my CIA career at the bottom of the bottle, and still managed to do my job. But seeing one of my only friends tortured within an inch of his life is a great motivator to get clean—and retire somewhere no one actively wants to kill me.

Garrett James has been behind the bar since he was discharged from the Army with a prosthetic leg and a Purple Heart. He has big dreams that involve his own restaurant and someone to share it with. Too bad most of the women he dates either balk at the idea of dating an amputee or can't stand the fact that he works every night.

Devan Windsom has a problem. Someone's trying to scare her into selling her coffee shop, Artist's Grind, only weeks before Christmas. But Devan doesn't scare easily. The shop is her life, and she's proud of her coffee and the locally-made baubles she sells.

Peter hasn’t been the same since the fire. A scarred, broken wolf who can’t run, can’t fight, and can’t manage even the simplest conversation without coming across like an asshole. Until he finds her. She can’t speak. Can’t see. Can’t tell him where she came from. Branded with a sigil by the most vile group of practitioners ever to walk the earth, she could be a danger to everyone. Or...his pack's only hope for salvation.
