I've been in love with Sebastian Kemp since the second grade. Yes, the Sebastian Kemp. World famous hockey player. International playboy. Gorgeous heartthrob. I know, right? Get in line. I've been best friends with his younger sister since grade two, but I was convinced that he forgot I was alive. That's why I was so surprised when I turned on the news and saw my name and face all over it, saying that we were engaged. He shows up out of nowhere.

We were supposed to be reaping the fruits of our labor, an all-girls trip to a breathtaking beachside villa in Tahiti. But when my ex-teammates bail at the last minute, I'm stuck in a double-booked villa with our fiercest - and most gorgeous - of competitors. Differences are eventually set aside, rivalries forgotten as the four of us settle in for a sun-soaked week of overwhelming temptation. But when a molten-hot game of Truth or Dare allows me to unravel the guys' darkest, most butterfly-inducing of secrets? I'm ready to let them take me places I've only dreamed of going before.

They see me as the joker. The charmer. The playboy. But it is just a mask I wear to hide the demons that dance in the dark. My life is too dangerous for me to fall in love. Until Willow Stanton landed in my lap. Literally. I knew the moment I met her that she was the forever type of girl, so I immediately drew a line and placed her on the other side of it. I told myself she was too good for me, that she deserved more. But when it comes to her, I'm weak and all it took was one night to seal our fate. I tempted the flame and now, we're both at risk of going up in flames.

I need a beast. So, that’s exactly what I get. Elijah "The Beast" Stoll. Former football player, former school god, Jacksland town legend. He’s my cousin’s best friend and it’s time to pull in a favor. Maybe if he picks me up after school and I’m seen with him, they’ll lay off me a bit. It’s a pretty good plan. But what I don’t take into account is how protective the beast is. And how utterly obsessed he becomes with me. The football team is screwed. And if I’m lucky, I will be too.

Renzo Marchesi gives me two choices when he walks into my art gallery: help him find his brother's killer or suffer the consequences. He's a mafia prince.... Heir to the Marchesi throne. A man consumed by his demons. Beautiful. Ruthless. I don't belong in his world, and he doesn't belong in mine. Still, I'm not the spoiled politician's daughter he thinks I am.... This is the City of Thieves, where lies are hard currency and deception is the real art. Trust no one. Love no one. Too bad I don't follow my own rules....

Loving her was like breathing air—it was hard to live without. Journey Smith was quiet and guarded, and above all else, beautiful. When we were alone, I grew to know the girl behind the stormy eyes. Her hesitant touches and hidden smiles were reserved for me, but now they're gone. Stolen moments of happiness were replaced with sharp barbs and fiery glares concealing her fear. Our past was written in the stone of St. Mary’s—a past that I was not willing to repeat. But what I assumed to be the truth was nothing more than a fabrication of such.

Two years have passed since the fateful battle in the Underworld. The mythic warrior Raine and her dragon lover, Talan’alaith’illaria, have settled down to a life of domestic bliss. The peoples of Arianthem enjoy a peace unknown for centuries. A storm brews in the Underworld, however, as the Goddess Hel fumes in her realm.

However, he much preferred dealing with raising and training the thoroughbred race horses side of the family business.

Thalia Santiago is the daughter of my enemy. A beautiful rebel with a single cause. Impulsive. Fearless. And ripe for her father's undoing. I recognized her the moment she stepped into my casino. I watched her start the fires that burned her pretty fingers, and then I poured gasoline on the flames. Now she's in my debt, and her dues are a shiny gold ring and a vow of deception. I'll bend her. I'll break her. I'll turn our mockery of a marriage into a battlefield. And that river of bad blood that flows between our two families? I'll make it an ocean of hate.

When the popular skateboarding punk at my high school discovers that I write dirty romance books, he promises to tell the entire school and ruin my life if I don’t do everything he wants of me. Desperate to make it through the rest of senior year unseen, I reluctantly go along with it.

Dragons are a lusty lot known for grinding their lovers into dust. Talan’alaith’illaria is no exception and has found no man or woman her match or equal in a thousand years. That changes when Raine, the sole survivor of two mythic races, stumbles across the ancient dragon queen in her lair. Raine possesses her father’s strength and her mother’s passion, and the combination ignites the dragon’s desire to an inferno. Talan, greatest of the 12 ancients, at last finds her perfect lover.

I've seen a lot of crazy stuff in my life, but an auction for women? That's got to be on top of the list. And they want to use my ranch for their next one. It's secluded in the Montana mountains where no one will interrupt their twisted little game for billionaires. I sign the contract and let them use the space. I'm mostly in my bear form these days anyway, wandering through the forest and I could use the easy cash.

We couldn’t have been more opposite. I was molded to break the rules. My life was seeded in corruption at St. Mary's Boarding School. Fate brought us together, and we formed a plan. I gave her that taste of rebellion, and she became mine. She was my kryptonite. I was her escape, and her trust was in me.

Raine has been captured by the Goddess of the Underworld, and her fate is exactly as she feared. The curse of the Arlanians, their intense sexual desirability and uncontrolled physical response, plays against her as Hel demands that she share her bed. But it is not Hel’s mistreatment of her that distresses Raine the most. Rather, it is the curious deference with which the Goddess treats her that fills her with dread.
