My best friend is in love with his girl, his ex girl. He's determined to win her back at any cost and at first, I was happy for him. I just didn't know that I'd want her for myself, but I do. Keeping my distance gets harder each time. She's the one thing I can't have, yet I can't stop reaching for her.

With threats of an apocalypse looming over our heads, Six and I travel back to The Guild. But when we get there, the arrival of some new faces complicates our mission. And if any of them find out that we're more than the protectors we're pretending to be . . . we're royally screwed. As if that's not enough, my nifty new powers keep hopping into action when I least expect them to. If I don't get them under control soon, we'll stand no chance at winning this battle. The key to stabilizing them? Well, let's just say it might require me to figure out exactly what I want from the members of Six.

Team Six and I have finally found our ticket into Hell. But the journey to cashing it will be anything but easy, and every decision along the way will come with a sacrifice . . . sacrifices we might not be willing to make. Darius's creepy brother, Claude, is determined to push us out of his city as soon as possible. And, oh man, are we ready to leave. But, unfortunately for us, hitching a ride to hell will have to wait.

Alora Briarwood is impeccably good at faking a smile. She's been doing it her entire life as a politician's daughter. But after taking a year off after high school and gaining the confidence to make her own decisions, she's finally ready to focus on her music at Happily Ever After University...

I've never been the kind of girl to take the easy way out. Happy endings never came to people like me. The tarnished ones. I'm surrounded by a group that knows sadness too well. We know what it's like to lose and be tossed away like last night's trash. We are easy to blame for all the wrongs, because when others look at us, they see our scars. Most of our stories are told in the ink we bear, but we wear those tales proudly.

I was in the wrong place at the wrong time—and that moment changed me forever. After walking in on a masked man murdering my neighbor, I went back to the one place I swore I'd never step foot in again. Citrus Cove. The sleepy town hasn't changed much, but the people have. Including my old high school bully, Cameron Harlow. He's the last person I want to see. He should be the last person I want.

Once a snake, always a snake, huh? No matter how much Luna tries to prove herself, everyone will always blame her for the invasion of Nightfire Academy and theft of a dangerous spell book. Well, to hell with them. Luna hasn't got time to convince them otherwise, juggling her studies, magic practice, three handsome guardians, and a mysterious stranger that she can't stay away from. When a dark spell unlocks her memories, she opens a door she'll never close. Monsters court monsters, and turns out, she's one of them.

Kitty Gatto thought she'd left behind any chance of romance with boy-next-door Guy Stelle way back in high school after one disastrous kiss. After all, he's her brother's best friend and, therefore, totally off-limits. They're better off just being friends, right? But Guy's all grown up now, a college hockey star and so hot it's a wonder he doesn't melt the ice he plays on. And he definitely hasn't forgotten about that kiss.

Lucifer's plan for saving the world requires three key components: my power, the nexus, and the stone. We only have the first . . . and absolutely no idea where the other two might be hiding. It's up to me and the rest of Team Six to hunt them down, all while integrating into the powerful, new community housed at The Lodge. But with the fabric of our reality literally crumbling around us, it's looking less and less likely that we'll stand a chance against this impending apocalypse.

Super Bowl Champion. All Pro running back. Leading rusher in the NFL. All titles I've strived for my entire career and now that I've achieved them, the pressure to maintain that status has come with a price. Anxiety is a beast. And it doesn't care that I'm supposed to look tough on the outside, it still rages within me. But hiding behind lie after lie, it's only a matter of time before everything around me starts to crumble and come to light.

Monsters don’t just live in the dark, they breathe it. I thought I’d already survived the worst. I was wrong. Falling once nearly destroyed me. Falling for them? The Scorpion Kings? It might be the end of me. They cracked open every secret I tried to bury. Now, we’ve crossed a line we can’t come back from. There’s just two questions now left to be answered.

After meeting the sinfully handsome Navy SEAL, my life has changed... forever. After my brother's death, I felt like I needed to take control of my life, and it was a new era of drastic changes. That's when I met Operator Grim Reaper. My shell has been obliterated by him in all the best ways. Even though Danny makes me feel safe, I still catch myself looking over my shoulder.

Have you ever felt like there was something missing inside of you? I have. It turns out that missing piece is a big, furry, and bratty wolf. As if navigating this newfound part of me wasn't strange enough, trying to communicate with a beast who is obsessed with a certain spot in the woods and the intoxicating scent a male shifter left behind is driving us both crazy.

Devastation and devotion are two sides to the same coin, and Brian Miller flips the coin to my heart without even trying. He thinks he's not good enough—that I deserve better than a damaged single father. But his demons can't be any worse than the one stalking my every move in our small town—the one no one can bring to justice. Despite the age difference between us, I'm not a little girl, and I know the truth. Brian will never forgive himself for not being there when I needed him most. But he's the only man who can rescue me now.

I never expected life to be easy . . . As the youngest female Alpha in the region, I had to fight to keep my title and claim my pack. Through blood and sweat, I dragged Cerberus out of the dark ages and built a safe haven. I was proud of everything I'd done. Everything changed on what was supposed to be the best day of any shifter's life. All the walls I'd built came crashing down with one look at my fated mate. Never once in my wildest nightmares, did I expect this dark and unhinged Alpha to be mine.

When Kaiden Hart, the captain of the Charleston Coyotes hockey team, comes to my aid in an emergency, it's the first time I've seen him since I was a young girl. And boy, have the years been kind to him. When he invites me out to dinner, accepting seems like the polite thing to do. At least that's what I tell myself. How else can I justify wanting to be near my older sister's ex-boyfriend? It couldn't have anything to do with his piercing blue eyes and kissable lips. Who cares if he's got chiseled abs and a rear end I could bounce a quarter off of?

So when her boss announces she's being pulled off the project to mentor a Hollywood A-lister who's preparing for an upcoming movie role, Allie is devastated. She doesn't care that it's People's Sexiest Man, Hudson Finch.

College parties and independence are replaced with late-night feedings and howling cries. As a single mom in a town that isn't her home, she's hanging by a thread. When her newborn's rare moment of sleep is interrupted by her noisy neighbor, the thread snaps. Rebuilding his life after his marriage left him in shambles, Archer Thomas isn't expecting his new neighbor to have a breakdown at his front door. The last thing he needs is to become involved, but Archer can't help stepping in when the struggling young woman's daughter steals his heart.

I ran from paradise to protect the man I love. But he's after me now. Because I took our baby with me. Nassau was supposed to be my fresh start. Far from my billionaire Russian's empire. Far from the chaos I brought to his life. Far from his mother's disapproving stares. But I can't truly leave...

In the shadows of the human world, a secret society of demon hunters fights to keep humanity from the supernatural forces that threaten to tear it apart.
