Everyone at Heir Academy has a secret, friends and enemies alike, and it's up to me to navigate them all and get us out alive. Raiden, Kryll, Brody, Cassian… I'm not sure I would have survived this long without them, and it's about time I stop ignoring my heart. The problem is we walked right into their trap. But I'm not easy prey. I'm the rightful heir of Floodborn Kingdom, and I'll stop at nothing to prove I am worthy.

I’m in love with a villain. Ice-cold smile, shiny collection of scalpels, and he’s ravenous to use them on me. Joke's on you, mad scientist. I've been trying to cut this sickness out of me since forever. Not all scars are in a place that you can see. In your frigid alien embrace, I've found myself, so why the hesitation in those pretty silver eyes? You’re the big bad conqueror. I’m just an ordinary human. Right? Put me in your maze. Let the experiments begin...

When his agent drops him and rumors of a trade swirl through the league faster than a puck on a breakaway, I find myself in the dreaded role of Banks’s new agent. There’s no doubt I can save his career from crashing into the boards, but only if we don’t strangle each other first. All I need to do is whip this man-baby into shape and negotiate an epic contract that will establish me once and for all as the top hockey agent in the league.

Agent or not, when your dad is the head of the most notorious arcane crime family in the country, no one believes you when you say you didn’t open that gate to Hell on purpose. Now, I’m practically glued under enough null wards to hide a god and stuck with a stupidly sexy shifter of a jailer who hates my guts. When my former employer comes sniffing around, not only does he keep me alive, but we find out that our pasts are far more connected than either of us realize. And the lies we’ve been told could kill us both.

Coming back to my hometown wasn’t part of my Christmas game plan. Neither was coaching my old high school’s hockey team or crossing paths with Colette McAllister, the Ice Queen of Brooking Sound. Back in high school, she was my biggest crush—and my brother’s biggest fan. Now, she’s all sharp glares, sarcastic quips, and a refusal to admit how much fun she’s having making my life miserable. But when my buddy Tucker bets I can’t get Colette to go on a date and kiss me under the mistletoe by Christmas Eve, I can’t resist.

I used to love working. There was nothing I enjoyed more than seeing the auto shop I built from the ground up thriving, showing how far I’d managed to come in this brutal world. Then I hired Piper. Now she’s everywhere. At the front desk all day and right next door all night, infiltrating my life. My thoughts. I can’t deny wanting her, but there’s a line, and my name on the bottom of her paychecks is it.

Ciara’s beginning to think that her wedding to her fated mate, Preston, may never happen after The Raze released a sinister new drug on the Vegas strip. It has the potential to wipe out shifters on a mass scale, and Preston's protective instincts have gone into overdrive. As the new alpha, Preston feels duty-bound to protect Ciara and his pack, and is determined to destroy The Raze’s operations once and for all—even if it means uniting with dangerous adversaries.

He's a hot, shirtless hockey player…and he’s my fake date for my ex-husband’s wedding. Talk about a hot flash to beat all hot flashes. The wedding bells are ringing and my ex-husband is the groom! When my grown kids hook me up with a fake date to my ex-hubby's tropical island nuptials, I expect sun, sand, and plenty of fruity cocktails—not steamy nights with a shirtless pro hockey player!

Ciara Quinn wants to have it all and is beginning to believe that it’s possible when her fated mate Preston proposes. But as soon as his family sees the ring, they start pressuring Ciara to consider a merger between their two companies.

I've never met a challenge I couldn't deke out—until Emily Brooks blasted into my world with all the subtlety of a slapshot to the face. When an underwear incident (don’t ask) gives Emily ammunition for her gossip blog Blades After Dark, I’ve become her very reluctant muse. Perched on her Zamboni with a crafty smirk on that gorgeous face, she’s determined to turn my life into one big penalty box. Not only does this woman have an Olympic-sized grudge against me, she cheered—yes, cheered—for the other team. When I find out she has a secret she doesn’t want out, it’s gloves off.

Meeting Bolan Adler, professional baseball catcher and single dad, is a complicated story. One involving a one-time kiss when I was young and silly. And a two-time tryst as some kind of midlife breakdown moment. Anyway, in the game of baseball, three strikes mean: you're out. I thought my third one might happen when Bolan Adler is the newest client of the sports management agency I work for. The same business that just promoted me to agent status when I hadn't asked for the position.

Claudia knows all about Toby’s bad-boy reputation and has no intention of falling under his spell. But the handsome, kind, caring man she sees with his mother is not the same troublemaker she grew up with. Fight it as she does, Claudia cannot resist her blossoming feelings for the town bad boy.

Wallflower bookworm Quinn curates her neighborhood's Mini Donation Libraries, paying special attention to the Ooh-La-La Box filled with romance reads. When a series of steamy donated books wrecks her life for a few days, she's left wondering if the author is local. Before she can get her sleuth on for long, a friend introduces her to Allen, a man with deep pockets who wants Quinn to set up a Mini Library on his street—and can take her wildest fantasies from the page to under his sheets.

Rayanne Miller has a problem: it's almost Christmas, and she doesn't have a Christmas tree set up in her beautiful new apartment. Unable to find help beyond her best friend’s younger brother, Rayanne is worried about spending time with the boy she grew up with and the man he’s become. Even if there’s a fangirl swooning at his cheeky grin and finely toned arms. The job must be completed, and it looks like Caleb Gardiner is the man for the job.

I'm in over my head with not one, but two, ex-boyfriends at the same wedding. Both of which I haven't seen in over a year. When the one who ripped my heart into pieces backs me into a corner, I grab the other and kiss him.

My name is Belle. After Kronos takes control of Delerood, my soldiers and I are forced to retreat. Realizing the blow is a big one, I also realize the only way back into Delerood and through Kronos’ time-loop, which keeps outsiders out, is by returning to Castle Chimera. There, I’ll need to appeal to the three monsters who live there, monsters known as Alder, Horatius, and Beacon.

Mates are supposed to be forever, but nine years ago I found mine sleeping with another man. Every night, I both curse the Moon Goddess for pairing me with such an unfaithful woman and beg her for another chance to find a mate who could love me because a callous and unruly alpha like me isn’t cut out to raise a daughter with a disability on his own. But the years pass by, and I find myself loathing everyone, especially Jade. When the Chaos hits for the first time in nine years, I vow that I would never let another woman get close enough to hurt me again.

Maisie runs into my life in need of saving, literally. Like Little Red Riding Hood, she dons a red coat and is running from wolves. Life has a funny way of playing jokes on people. Just when I thought I’d spent the rest of my days mourning the loss of my parents, Maisie brings color back into my life. With Christmas right around the corner, maybe it’s time to stop living in my grief and give in to the magic of the season.

Salvatore Vitale met Isabella through a chance first time encounter, but that’s all it took. One night with the blonde bombshell, and he was hooked. That is, until someone in the family said they would pay him good money to track her down.

The attraction is undeniable, and after too much spiked eggnog, lines are quickly crossed. I jingle his bells, and Hudson becomes my ho ho ho, but—because there's always a but with broody men like him—only for the season.
