The stakes are higher than money. They’re deeper than secrets. It's life or death when Mason Hill sets his sights on the Van Kempt family. Charlotte’s hopes and dreams crash down around her. She questions everything, especially her own father. But she’s always understood the value of loyalty. She’ll defend her parents’ lives—even if it means risking her own.

Carson- When Mak hired me as her boudoir photographer, I bet she never thought I’d also become her Primal Dom. The moment I saw her, my wild side wanted to play. She’s fun to chase and even more fun to catch. But I have carefully constructed rules in place for anyone who climbs into my bed, and I’m breaking too many of them for her. That’s dangerous, considering this is only a fling. Now I’m in over my head, and the more we’re together, the more we click, and I find myself willing to do whatever it takes to keep her. Including breaking my last rule.

Santi Carrera is the war I never saw coming. A beautiful liar. Ruthless. Captivating.... The architect of my own undoing. He twisted my loyalty into an ultimatum. He chained me to his side with a vow of deceit. I should despise him for all he’s done to me.... But behind those dark eyes, I see his pain. I recognize his conflict because it’s ours to share.

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.

John Devonte looked to the outskirts of the Draconic Empire for refuge. After adventuring for the past two decades–hunting monsters and collecting coin–he thought the town of Vismuth would provide some solace. Except what he discovered there was the beginning of the end. The Deadlands have come to life, and out of them pour bestial creatures that will devour all in their path. Luckily for John, he’s discovered that he’s a True Dragon. Not only that, but he can use the magic of Soul Gems, and with them, create his Wargear out of the beautiful women who fight alongside him.

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....

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.

He’s my art professor. I’m his student. With an electric connection and undeniable chemistry, I know it won’t be long until one of us cracks. When the opportunity arose to pose nude for a life drawing workshop, I couldn’t help the thrill of knowing he’d be watching. While everyone else looked past me with their eyes narrowed and concentrated, drawing only the lines and angles of my body, he saw right through me down to my vulnerability. Professor Hampton looked at me like he wanted to do more than look at me. He saw more than just the physical aspects—he saw me.

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.

Rafe Sterling does not want a wife. Too bad it's the one thing he desperately needs. His father ran off with a woman half his age, and Rafe can't become permanent CEO of Sterling Worldwide unless he's married. When he’s ambushed by the competent matchmaker, he’s captivated by her intelligence and seductive innocence. All of a sudden, he is thinking about a future and having her under his complete and total command.

I'm the charming brother. The playful one. Damn good at my job, but I never take it too seriously. Life and death were just like playing cards dealt around a poker table. And the new job I accepted was just like any other. Until it wasn't. My course changed the moment I met Arryn Lauder, an absolute hurricane of a woman, and my client's daughter. But when the job goes wrong, and she becomes the new target on the underworld's hitlist, I do the one thing that could end us both. I take her.

Three gorgeous businessmen, looking for a surrogate. One headstrong woman, bent on a selfless act. What do you do when business becomes pleasure? Jordyn never expected to play the surrogate for one, much less three of the hottest real estate developers in upstate NY. Yet with their picturesque mansion and live-in amenities? She quickly falls into the most amazing - and unorthodox - of all arrangements. Jordyn finds herself the sizzling center of a guilt-free, no-strings attached situation in which she - and her most far-flung fantasies - are indulged, triple time.

John Devonte now calls Vismuth home, and he’s not willing to let it go so easily. He’s armed with his beautiful Wargear women, and the blood of the True Dragon flows through his veins. But will his newfound power be enough? Or will John and his women find their beloved town ravished—or worse, will the bond between them be torn asunder?

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.

Rafe knows exactly what he wants for Christmas. But there are things even billionaires can't buy. While she’s madly in love with her fiancé, Hope needs time to adjust to her new life and Rafe’s sexy demands. He wants more than her hand in marriage and a baby, he wants her to face her greatest fears. Hope's not sure she's courageous enough to give him what he really wants for Christmas.

Raine has always been more of a warrior than a diplomat, but now she must use all of her charisma to bring the rivals of Arianthem together. Her close bonds with the all-female race of the Ha’kan ensure that alliance, but negotiations with the Empire go poorly until they receive an unexpected boost from a sultry ally. The reserved elven leader of the Alfar hints to Raine at cooperation, yet also hints that sexual conquest might be her price. Raine’s only hope is that her dragon lover will return from the Empty Land before all is lost and the evil that stalks Skye comes for her.

The dragons have returned to Arianthem, and four of the Ancients go to war. Talan is joined by Kylan, her seductive ally from the Great War, while Volva, her enemy, uses her carnal ways to stand against the queen of all Dragons. Both of Talan’s children must stand with her, and Talan gambles that her trust in them is not misplaced. Meanwhile, both the Ha’kan and Tavinter seek Skye, the young ruler who was kidnapped by a sorceress. Haunted by thoughts of her violation and captivity, they will not stop until they find her, even if it means searching every league of the Deep Woods.

The Ha’kan, an all-female race that reveres sexuality and views monogamy as unnatural, have been at war with the Tavinter for centuries. Queen Halla seeks to end this long-term dispute with the nomadic forest people by extending a unique offer to the Tavinter Chieftain. She invites his daughter, Skye, to attend the most prestigious school in all of Arianthem: The Sjöfn Academy. Skye accepts the invitation and sets out with determination and trepidation.

Raine enjoys a respite with her dragon lover in the land of the Ha’kan, recovering from the wounds sustained battling the dark demons of the Underworld. Skye is melancholy, thinking she has endangered everyone with her uncontrolled magic. But her despondency does not last long when she meets the ravishing mage who is to be her mentor, one who believes that sexual energy and magical energy are intimately related.

I never planned on being a nanny to the most adorable twins on the planet, just like I'd never dreamt of living with three ripped, beautiful soldiers-turned-mercenaries, constantly working out in their Southold mansion to keep their hard bodies in Army Ranger shape.
