And with this man, I am forever falling.

My name is Jacinthe. I'm the orphaned daughter of a powerful witch healer, but I was born without any magic of my own. I want revenge on the evil stepfather who sold me into slavery. But first, I have to survive toiling in the kitchens at the Darkstone Academy for Magical Arts. The human students here are the rejects from other academies, out-of-control psycho mages. And then there are the supernaturals. They hate humans and aren't shy about showing it.

Nick and Noah's rocky relationship is struggling through its worst moment, and it seems that nothing can go back to the way it was before. They will have to surmount a new and frightening set of challenges to finally understand if they are really made for each other or if being apart is their only chance to be happy. Love is not always enough, and forgiveness sometimes doesn't fix what's been broken. But can you forget such a strong connection? How can memories tattooed on the heart be erased? Will they be able to leave the past behind and start over?

When Noah fell in love with Nick, she knew their relationship would never be easy. They're fire and electricity, and when they're together, every kind of sparks fly. After last summer, Noah thought their passion had grown stronger than their fear, but her life is about to turn upside down again now that she's starting university. Moving again while maintaining her relationship with Nick will be a difficult hurdle, with their age difference, campus life, dangerous parties, and inner demons stalking them both, reminding them of all they still don't know about each other.

Seventeen-year-old Noah Morgan lives a quiet, normal life with her mother in Toronto . . . until her mother meets and marries William Leister, a wealthy and enigmatic lawyer from California. Noah finds herself moving to LA, leaving her volleyball team, her best friend, and her boyfriend behind. Upon arriving in her new life of private schools and pool parties, she meets her new brother, Nicholas-a college student, and seemingly the typical spoiled rich kid. Noah has no desire to get along with him, especially when she discovers Nick's secret life of clandestine car racing and street fights.

When my evil stepfather sold me into slavery, I thought my life was over. Sent to work in the kitchens at Darkstone Academy for the Magical Arts, an isolated reform school filled with dangerous young mages, I quickly learned that survival meant embracing the darkness. Danger shadowed my every step—until I found myself unexpectedly soul-bonded to four powerful men.

I nearly had it all: a successful football career, money flowing like a waterfall, and women dropping at my feet. I was living life to the max until some pretty harsh weather conditions ended my career and ruined the rest of my life. I turned into someone I didn’t know and didn’t like and became the laughingstock of my family. They all expected me to knock up a hooker. I don’t blame them. I made a lot of mistakes.

A dog named Slipper almost ruined my life. The uncatchable stray snuck on the patio where I was waitressing and knocked me straight into Lee Powell's lap. My fist slammed into his junk. Then I accidentally flipped his breakfast platter onto his pants. I thought it couldn't get any worse, but when I bring my brother to baseball practice, I discover his new coach is none other than Lee, owner and founder of Powell Dog Sanctuary, and he's not happy to see me.

I just got home from serving in the military and I'm learning how to live as a civilian when I meet her. Elle is my younger brother's assistant, but the minute I see her, I want to know everything about her. Elle is hiding secrets. I'm hellbent on uncovering every one. Especially peeling away the layers of her frumpy clothes to reveal the curvy body that plagues my every thought.

Betrayed and held captive, I must call upon my forbidden Dragon blood to save everyone and everything I love. When the treacherous Duke de Norhas kidnaps me from the Darkstone Academy for the Magical Arts and holds me captive aboard his flagship, I'm reunited under grim circumstances with my mother. She's the lost heir to the throne, abducted and placed under a forbidden magical compulsion to love her captor. Back on land, Lord Ilhan of Parrish, my steadfast and reluctantly soul-bonded ally, devises a daring rescue plan.

I've been in love with my best friend for what seems like forever. But she wanted the one thing I couldn't give her. Now, she's pregnant with another man's baby. The "donor" wants nothing to do with her . . . or the child, so I do the one thing I've always wanted to do. I claim her—and her baby—as mine. She worries the whole town is gossiping. She has no money, no family and she thinks I'm doing this because I feel sorry for her. If only she knew. Allie is my best friend, and I tried to be content with only that. Things have changed though, and I'll stop at nothing until I make her my wife.

I've tried to forget him. He refuses to allow it. Now, here we are, forced to spend the holidays together, pretending everything is as merry as ever. It isn't. I know this. He knows this. Everyone else? Not so much thanks to the man determined to be mine. Despite all that's happened between us, he swears not everything has changed. He might be right.

He keeps watching me. I can't help but look back. He's gorgeous: tall, messy dark hair, and those intensely blue eyes captivating me. My life hasn't been easy by any means. Because of that I've had to grow up much faster than normal women do. I think that's why our age difference doesn't bother me at all. I wish it didn't bother him because this attraction isn't going away anytime soon and, in truth, I don't want it to. He could very possibly be my happily-ever-after and no matter how much he tries, I'm not going to let him talk me out of it until we give this a fighting chance.

When my dad asked me to intern for his best friend, I knew I should've said no. I had my own plans for the summer. Ones that didn't include revisiting my childhood crush. Sleeping with the boss? Probably not what my dad had in mind when he asked for my help.

Sold into indentured servitude at a remote reform school for wayward mages, Darkstone Academy for the Magical Arts, I found myself surrounded by dangerous enemies and far from home. Luckily, I made three powerful friends, all outcasts like me: the gorgeous and protective merman Lord Tama, the fiery dragon Prince Boreas, and the skilled and enigmatic Fae Prince Gwydion. They were sent to Darkstone Academy as diplomatic hostages to keep the peace between the Human Dominion and the supernatural kingdoms.

Finding out her boss is not who she thought he was has her turning to the one man who'd kicked her out of his bed after the best night of her life—Kyle "Ox" Matthews. As expected, he isn't open to listening to her or helping her with her problem. Kyle should let his past define his future, but when he finds out Eveline works for an opposing company, he closes the door on her as quickly as he can. When she comes to him with information about her boss, he dismisses it until he finds that there could be some truth in Eveline's claims.

I knew that coming home and heading back to reality was going to be challenging for me. I never expected that I'd find a hot, sexy stress release waiting for me in the airport. Who even thanks to fate followed me high into the sky… for that matter. He was meant to be a one time thing but in the end became more like my obsession. Until tragedy hit; igniting a deep, crushing pain in my heart. I should have seen it coming… I should have recognized the signs… Can I save him and help him rebuild his life before he ends up as broken as I am?
