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. But for Max Bentley, a rookie hunter struggling to find her place amongst her kind, the biggest threat might just be the four brooding, enigmatic members of the most elite team of hunters—all of whom seem to have taken a special, antagonistic interest in her.

I finally have everything I've always wanted: I'm part of a team with my brother and best friend, I'm spending my free time on missions hunting down monsters, and I'm about to turn nineteen, the age we fully come into our power. But it all still just feels empty. After last month's disaster, the members of Team Six abandoned Guild Headquarters, leaving me alone to deal with the crippling shame for my part in the events that night. And I can't say that I blame them. 

Nothing comes easy. Nothing is given but must always be earned. The problem is I'm too tainted and broken to have anything good. That was a lesson I was taught early. A lesson I carried throughout my life, and into every relationship I had.

I didn't know he was a hockey player. He had no clue I was the coach's daughter. And he definitely didn't know I had a son the night he tickled my heart and so much more. Not that I was hiding it. I just needed one night… for me. To be a normal college student, making bad decisions. When I saw him on campus, his inked forearms and slate-gray eyes ignited something in my heart that I'm not ready to let go of. We were never supposed to see each other again. Yet, we both knew once would never be enough.

On the first day of my medical internship, I expected pressure. Maybe even chaos. I didn't expect him—Dr. Zachery Bennett, my most regular client at Eden—to be standing in the ER as the head of the department. Over one explosive, unrelenting shift, the line between who we are inside the hospital and who we pretend to be in the gentlemen's club, Eden, begins to blur. I fall—harder than I ever meant to. But when a broken heart begins a deadly rampage in triage, I'm forced to confront the truth I've been avoiding: My body is failing. My feelings are real.

This is Detective Evan Geer's story! Welcome to Whiskey River, Montana!

If Luna thought her first month at the Guild of Shadows was tough, then she's in for another ride. Her guardians are deadset on unlocking the information her parents buried in her mind, believing it to be the key to defeating the Serpent Brotherhood. Except Luna's finally found somewhere to settle down, a home, and answers to the questions her parents hid from her. The last thing she wants is to jeopardize that by releasing the evil inside her.

The Monarchs told me their pretty lies and tricked me with their gorgeous bodies. They took the trust I wasn't willing to give and shattered it into pieces. I made a vow once to teach these bullies a lesson, but instead it's me who has learnt the hard way deceit can't be washed away with merely a stick of gum. It'll take a deep-rooted thirst for vengeance and sweet justice from the Candy Crusher to right the wrongs dealt onto me. But that's not up to me to pursue. If the Monarchs want me, they'll have to catch me, and then I'll make them sorry they ever did.

Captured and alone in a place that looks like it was pulled straight out of a medieval movie, I'm desperate to get back to The Guild and my family. But not before getting what I came here for: Wade. Hell might not be all fire and brimstone like I had imagined it to be, but sometimes reality is worse. Way worse. The members of Six and I have been separated with no concrete way of getting back to each other. But even if I could find a way back to them, I'm not entirely sure that I want to. While hell demons are certainly awful, the monster raging inside of me is proving to be just as haunting.

It had been 615 days, two hours, and 16 minutes since he last saw her. In less than 72 hours, he'd bought a dance studio. In ten minutes, she cursed him out and ditched him in said studio. Then, three minutes later, he found her list—and in one second, he changed the trajectory of her life with a single sentence. Sienna Jones didn't have a plan—she had a list. A perfectionist by nature, she was tired of trying to live up to that image. So, she made a list of all the imperfect things she'd never done in her "perfect" life, and by her 21st birthday, she was determined to complete it.

When Headmistress Alleva arrives on campus, my life at Headquarters is thrown upside down. After sightings of werewolves close to Guild boundaries have everyone up in arms, recruits are thrust into apprenticeships with prominent teams to help move along graduation rates and get them into the field as soon as possible.

We're known for our savagery. We run New York City. We control every inch of it, and anyone that gets in our way is executed. I protect the people from con artists and thugs like the cartel. But I'm not a good guy. I loathe thinking of myself as a vigilante. And did I mention that my little sister tried to put me behind bars? When a young woman's car breaks down in the rain, I'm feeling overly generous. I recognize her, she's a nurse from Steele Concierge Medical, at least that's what she wants me to believe.

I fell in love with a woman on her honeymoon. Sounds all sorts of wrong, right? I swear it's not what you think though. I didn't break up a marriage. It was over before it even started. She was all dressed up with nowhere to go when her fiancé ghosted her on her wedding day. I would have thought an experience like that would leave a woman heartbroken and sobbing into a tub of ice cream for days on end, but not Scarlett Dayne. After attending her reception and partying into the night on her fiancé's dime, she posted to social media in search of a travel companion for her upcoming honeymoon.

It's not easy building a pack when your father forbids you from dating any of his New Haven Foxes hockey players. But Sloane Applegate is an Omega on a mission and her current target is none other than a surly Alpha defenseman who is supposed to be off-limits. It starts off simple, dating in secret, and making sure that her father doesn't find out she's being courted by one of his players. But things get a little more complicated when the team's mascot and new goalie also catch the Omega's eye, on and off the ice.

The wedding is quickly approaching, and I’m engaged to Mark, a man I don’t love. Don’t get me wrong. He’s sweet and kind, but a little too syrupy for my taste. I prefer my men darker, devious, and with a bit of bite. Mark is as vanilla as they come. But I’ve settled because it’s what’s best for my daughter, Bay. She needs stability, and I want to give her the absolute best life that I can. When my coworker stumbles onto a photo of my hot mistake, Madisyn confesses that she knows the Russian who knocked me up.

With the Monarchs fractured, I need to use my best moves to bring the whole biker gang back home. My best moves being reverse cowgirl, the upside down corkscrew, and the underestimated cupid's arrow. Unfortunately, my appeal doesn't stretch as far as the stray who has latched onto one of my men. A charming, cunning killer to be exact. This house isn't big enough for the two of us. I'm a bitch who knows her way around a bone, so this slutty snake had better watch her back. Did I also mention she's trying to kill me? Unless Angus and I get to her first.

Blair Adams's dreams are finally coming true–well, almost. Getting accepted into Happily Ever After University is like winning a golden ticket to guaranteed success. On top of the daunting work load, she's dodging her vain and obsessive ex-boyfriend, and working nearly full time to pay for tuition and the growing mountain of her father's bills.

The Scorpion Kings took me. They made me believe in them. Gave me everything I’d given up hoping for. Then they burned it all down. Now, it’s time to show them that I’m not a damsel in distress. I’m not a victim. I am the villain in this story. It’s time to show them all that even fallen princesses can become Queens.

Jaxon Thorne doesn't believe in second chances. Not for someone like him. He screwed up too many times, burned too many bridges, and paid the price in prison. Now he's at Valor Ridge, a remote Montana ranch for broken veterans, trying to keep his head down and his past buried. His only plan is to train dogs, stay sober, and survive the silence. Then he meets her–the café owner with wary eyes and a kid who looks at Jax like he's a hero.

Beau Lawson wasn't just a rugged silver fox in worn denim and boots. On the dance floor, he moved like he already possessed every inch of me. Before I knew it, I was his for a night, and he was burned into me forever. I left at dawn, convinced I'd never see him again. But years later, work drags me back to Wyoming and back into his arms. Only now he's not just a memory I can't shake. He's the powerful rancher at the center of a feud that's haunted my family for generations. I know I should walk away. But every glance, every touch, every kiss pulls me closer… until I'm lost in him completely.
