Starla's witchcraft hides a terrible secret. She's a rare human able to have shifter children. Her magical disguise is the only thing keeping her from becoming a dragon baby factory. Over her dead body. She has a job. Too many people need her for a stupid destiny to upend her life. There's one problem—her fated mate. Mars, the dragon shifter's mercenary, is her own personal demon. Hotter than sin and a stone-cold psychopath, his obsession with her threatens to ruin everything. His presence pushes her magic to its limits. If he gets too close, he'll figure out their connection.

Those sentences might not seem like they fit together, but in my case, they do. Because six months ago, I was turned into a vampire by said ex. And a few days later, my potential mate—who's a demon—fed me his blood on the sly. Now, I'm literally addicted to him. My options are to drink from him for the rest of my life, or die. He's not keen on letting me die, so it's looking like a till-starvation-do-you-part situation.

I thought I knew what I was signing up for at Prometheus labs. A living wage salary in return for terrible hours, appalling working conditions and the occasional medical trial to give me a nice end of month boost in funds. I never expected to end up pregnant and transported to a completely different world, where gargoyles taunt me, and my life is immeasurably worse.

I've poured my heart and soul into reviving my aunt's inn after her passing, but a pixie dust mite infestation threatens to destroy everything.

Crushes are harmless—unless they involve your best friend’s grumpy, off-limits brother. Gannon Brewer is the epitome of my type. He’s at least ten years older than me, emotionally unavailable, and highly disagreeable—a walking red flag in a tailored suit. But do I listen to that? No. In fact, when his office plants start dying, I convince myself that I can ignore the pheromones and save the philodendron. Now I’m in his office every week, dodging sinful smirks and heated stares, reminding myself to reach for the watering can—not him. But one “ivy incident” changes everything.

By the age of twelve, we had become best friends, and by the time we turned sixteen, we were more. I had eyes for only one girl. My girl. But then life changed, and different paths led to broken promises. When she left town, I was forced to let go of our dreams. I spent my days existing. Baseball, classes, and working at the family farm became my life. I didn't care about anything else. Until I met Allison Jo. AJ was the quiet girl I never expected. She brought me to my knees with that beautiful smile. She made me laugh and slowly brought the old me back to life.

When a businesswoman contacted Ice over, well, ice...things got interesting. Diamond was an exclusive jewelry designer, born and raised in the industry, working within her father’s diamond company. When a custom-designed item was checked before shipment, she realized the piece wasn’t her workmanship. Somehow someone had forged her work and had slipped it in the shipment as a replacement.

When several members of a search-and-rescue team die in an accident, followed by several more team members who are murdered, Jace is ordered to sort it out. Working for a large insurance company had always been great for Emily, until she is handed several files all from the same family. Men she knew...intimately.

As the investigation develops, more bodies turn up, along with jealousy, greed, and insurance payouts that just maybe shouldn’t have been paid.

Nineteen-year-old Maggie Treenan, the youngest daughter of a human mother and a Ramelian commander, is certain that her brothers’ best friend, Jackson Marks, is destined to be her mate. Unfortunately for Maggie, however, Jackson sees her as nothing more than a sweet but silly girl, and when she throws herself at him to convince him otherwise she only manages to earn herself a stern scolding and a painful, embarrassing bare-bottom spanking. To make matters worse, his chastisement triggers her mating fever just before he leaves Earth to return to his post with the Ramelian Guard.

I’m Jade Rivers, Devil Incarnate’s Club princess. This isn’t your typical love story. I have a crazy ex who won’t let me go.

Rhys hadn’t expected a trip to Cottage Grove, Oregon to start with a house being shot. If it had stopped there, it would have been manageable. A drive-by shooting that the cops should be able to chase down. But nothing was easy in his world. Taylor, an army vet herself, was struggling to regain a normal life after an injured while serving. Taking on a war dog appealed, as it gave her a connection, but she had to pass some kind of interview before she could keep Tallahassee. An interview with someone with a prosthetic just like hers. Only he was far more capable than she was.

Revenge is what I seek. They left me in ruins. Hurt. Betrayed. Broken. I never saw him coming, any of them. Everyone I trusted and loved betrayed me in ways there’s no coming back from. The badass princess everyone loves to hurt but yet won’t leave alone died on that table. Beaten, bloodied, and defeated. With every death comes a birth, and these idiots set me free. Now I’ll burn everything to hell and reign as the Blood Queen he created…or perish in the same fire I ignite. This is a dark why choose college-age romance and is part of a series.
