The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist. But who said the devil was a he? In my world, she was out to cause havoc on all our lives. She'll use the one thing I care most about to control me - force me into her Elite world, filled with sin, deceit, and power. And under her spell, I'll lead a sinister brotherhood of seven at one of the most prestigious universities in New Orleans.

Tori Ballard chose to become a wolf. The problem: her wolf is impulsive and free-spirited. She relies on instincts and not much else. Tori prefers structure, schedules, and knowing things well in advance. Until she decides to give in to the sexy southern guy fate seems to be forcing her way. Holt Taylor had a solid plan for his life until it evaporated when he was attacked and bitten. Now he's part wolf and enrolled at the academy. There are only a few things that can put him back on solid ground - fight club, cardio, and Tori. Even if she doesn't know it yet.

My life has been served to me on a gold platter to be devoured by my silver spoon. My father has made sure I become a part of The Elite Seven. Where most candidates are chosen, I was given my place. Everything comes at a price, though. Luckily, I can afford any price - no one has more money than God. The Elite Seven have their initiations. My task is personal and beneath me - steal a car and send a warning. My task makes an ugly turn and I nearly take a life. Yet when she finally opens those big, innocent brown eyes, I realize I've found what I've been searching for my entire life.

Going back home, to the Shifter Realm, is the last thing Obsidian wants to do. The only thing worse is talking about and confronting his past. Word spreads fast and it doesn't take long for Obsidian's past to walk right up to him. Breaker, Cain, and Jett, three of his biggest tormentors, are now in the highest position of power. Obsidian soon realizes that things haven't changed...they're worse. Finley and her mates arrive at a time when the residents are hiding and there are whispers that more is going on.

I don't give a f--k. Not about money or fame, beauty or power. I've had all those things since birth, and trust me, they're a f--king snooze. I don't give a f--k about anyone, not even myself. Until my father proves evil can exist in the most holy of places. For the first time ever, something like interest stirs in my soul. He wants me to enroll at St. Augustine. Join the Elite. Court the virginal daughter of Archbishop Savoie. Prove that I'm worth the family name? I'll do it all. And I'll do it so well, no one will know what's coming.

cAlthough Levi's hatred for me was no secret, I spent the entire school year fighting my feelings for him, counting down to the day of graduation. When that day finally came, I foolishly thought I'd seen the last of him. Until five years later, when he walked into the same newspaper I worked for. Only now, he was no longer a football star. He's the paper's newest reporter.

All I ever wanted was to be a female fighter. It was in my blood to smack people around. Some girls wore pink dresses and makeup; I wore sneakers and bruises. I was a loner, stuck to myself because I was different, until Camden Steel moved next door. I punched him in the mouth, and he saw me through rose-colored glasses from that day on. I had everything I ever wanted. The boy next door, inspiring career...until I didn't.

Sheppard's devotion to his club was unquestionable. He would do anything for them, including giving his own life to protect his brothers. He proved that the day he took a bullet for Bishop, the president of the Devil Chaser's MC. He thought his life was over when he fell into the lake and got dragged under by the fast-paced current. Ana's world was crashing down around her. Her lifelong dream of becoming a doctor was being threatened. She felt lost, and she was quickly losing hope. The day she stumbled across a body by the lake, her instinct to save his life overwhelmed her.

My first operation in the field, the marriage is a cover. Damian Fisher is a CIA legend with a shaggy beard, chocolate curls, and deep blue eyes. As a teen, my girlfriends swooned in his presence. I never expected to work with him as an equal. I'd bet he never expected it either. But my overprotective father is a powerful man and I wouldn't put it past him to pull a stunt like this to protect his baby girl. Requesting my old bodyguard and his close friend to work by my side is right down Daddy Dearest's alley.

Jack Sullivan is a man of few words. His cold emotionless countenance shields any glimpse of the human being within. If he didn't hire me to help his daughter, I'd suspect the man sold his soul for success. He's classically handsome. Confident. Scratch that. He's one cocky mo-fo. Admittedly, I don't have the best track record at picking decent guys, but I'm pretty positive this brooding billionaire with a massive ego is one flashing red warning light.

When the hard truths of my ex-husband were exposed, my world and that of our kids changed forever. We were tossed away like yesterday's trash by the man that was supposed to protect and cherish us. With my life in tatters, I had to stay strong. I had to be the support for my kids. I had to show them that we could rise above, so I did the one that brought me peace—I baked. I never expected to trust a man again, but fate had other plans. The moment he walked into my bakery, everything changed. It wasn't just my life but that of my kids as well. He lifted us from rock bottom and helped us heal.

Falling for my best friend's brother was not a part of my plan . . . especially while I was pregnant with someone else's child. In my defense, I got pregnant by a guy who wants absolutely nothing to do with me or the baby. And, just when I thought things couldn't get worse, I find out that my health insurance covers nothing for maternity care. Being in this alone is scary enough, but trying to figure out how I'm going to pay for my medical care? That's a whole new level of terrifying.

I have been in love with my brother's best friend for as long as I can remember. And he has no idea. He doesn't see me the way I see him. He doesn't see past the platonic friendship we've built since we were little. Miles Cooper is destined for greatness, on the path to NFL glory, only behind his superstar facade hides a dark secret. One I never thought possible. Now, he needs me in a way that could break my naive heart. But isn't it better to have loved and lost than never loved at all?

For the three years since the Reveal, when monsters rose from the shadows, I’ve been just another human trying to maintain normalcy in a world where life is short and brutal. Coexisting with werewolves, zombies, and vampires—each alarmingly true to their myths—isn’t easy. Now I’ve been summoned by Ariel Skinner, the charismatic king of the vampires, who holds my missing brother’s life in his hands. To save him, I must do everything Ariel says.

I'm in no danger of being charmed by Ford Barrett. My new neighbor is a caveman—not remotely my type. He may be attractive, but he's also stubborn and permanently scowling. Even worse? He dropped a couch on my foot. The more we spar, though, the hotter my secret attraction to him burns. Once I give in to the possessive hockey player, lines get blurred.

Fresh out of college, I stumbled into the opportunity of a lifetime. My favorite professor had a friend who was looking to retire and sell his animal clinic. With a lot of help and a giant push from my sister and her husband, I made an offer. I'm happy with the occasional girls' night in and catching a glimpse of the hot neighbor, who I undeniably fantasize about—often.

Nathan Bailey was the one that got away . . . After leaving our hometown for college, he never looked back . . . Ten years later, he walked into my bakery. His sweet-talking is impossible to ignore, but so are the miles between Tennessee and California. The now billionaire tech-mogul always has his eyes set on the next big project, but now they're set on me.

When television producer Sophia is assigned to convince Christmas fanatic Will to be on their reality show, she imagines him to be an oddball mama's boy wearing a reindeer sweater. What she doesn't expect is the handsome, mysterious man who captures her attention and seems determined to win her heart. Their attraction is undeniable, and as charming Sophia convinces Will to work with her, she slowly unwraps the secrets in his past that make this determined and soulful man still yearn for the childhood he never had.

Once I decide I want something, the greed for it consumes me. I want answers. I want justice. I want vengeance. I want her. My best friend and his sister - the girl I vowed could trust in me and whom I would always protect - dropped off the map two years ago. My own father pledged assurances that they'd been living a life they deserved. Lies. Hell hath no fury like a man willing to do whatever it takes to fulfill his promise. I may be a greedy sonofab*, but I'm also a loyal one. Cross me or my brothers, and I'll come for your throat. And my teeth are razor sharp.
