The Ballers took everything away from me last year. Riding the bench wasn't what I'd planned, and I don't want a repeat of that this season. I can't have a repeat of that, not if I want to accomplish all those goals I set for myself when I first came to RHS. There's one problem though. One Baller is determined to keep me on the sidelines. I'm broken because of him. Physically broken. I can't let that stop me though. There's so much riding on this year, and I won't let anything - or anyone - get in my way.

Folks in town call him a monster - say he's dangerous. But I know him simply as Elijah Hays, the quiet, gentle giant who works with the horses on my ranch. I can feel him watching me, that steady, intense gaze making me crave things I don't quite understand, burn in a way that frightens me. He's always kept his distance...until that night.

Sense and Sensibility is Jane Austen’s first published novel. It tells the much-loved story of the two, very different, Dashwood sisters. Elinor suppresses her own emotions out of a keen sense of responsibility to her family and friends, while Marianne is highly expressive and romantic. When their father dies, British law leaves everything to their half-brother and his tight-fisted wife, and Elinor and Marianne, along with their mother and younger sister, have to move to a cottage on a relative’s estate where they experience the full spectrum of romance and betrayal.

Self-obsessed. Arrogant. Jerk. I mean...what sensible man would have nothing but a towel wrapped around his waist in his own office? And what sensible girl can avoid all those naughty thoughts then? He's in his 40s - old enough to be my father. OMG...those green eyes that I want to drown myself into, that smooth voice when he orders me around, and don't even get me started on the muscles...and those hard abs I saw that day in his office...oooh lord!

Left with no choice but to serve in my aunt's army, my mates and I are forced to navigate the perils of her demon-infested court while keeping my young nieces safe. Before we become puppets in a mad mage's scheme of vengeance, I must convince Queen Malvolia that she's about to wage war based on an illusion. That almost twenty-five years ago an evil mage had tricked the sorceress queen into setting her country ablaze and hunting my mother, her dear twin sister. That deception and paranoia had led to my father's unjust execution. And her real enemy is far more vengeful than her imagined one.

Life is not going well for archaeologist Sam Bellamy. She's stuck in the middle of the ocean on a salvage boat with people who want her dead. It wasn't her gift for being able to sense objects of power that got her here, rather her need to make a secret society called the Knights of the Dragon pay for killing her mentor. Sam doesn't believe in dragons, but the Knights do, and if she can get one of the sacred artifacts they're searching for away from them, she'll consider it payback.

Necromancer is such an ugly word, but it's a title Eric Carter is stuck with. He sees ghosts, talks to the dead. He's turned it into a lucrative career, putting troublesome spirits to rest, sometimes taking on even more dangerous things. For a fee, of course. When he left LA 15 years ago, he thought he'd never go back. Too many bad memories. Too many people trying to kill him.

When she arrives, a power awakens inside her, and suddenly a lot of things makes sense to her.

I knew I'd ruffle feathers, but the day I walked into Rockport High, I had no idea the cheap shots that were to follow. You see, the Ballers and I have a history. They play basketball. I play basketball. But they hate that I play basketball as good as them. And the only thing they hate more than that, is me. That's right. I'm a girl, and I. Can. Play. Make no mistake about it. The Ballers can do their worst, but I will earn a spot on the RHS boys' team. This is my last resort to make a name for myself, and I can't let them interfere.

Now all I want is to stay hidden, protecting those who need it from the shadows. When four hunters show up on my doorstep asking for my help and trying to drag me back into the light, I send them and their secrets packing. Did I mention they work for The Council? I may not have a choice. An army of demons is amassing and innocents are getting caught up in its net. My only friend may be next.

He says my father will die if he cannot pay back a loan he defaulted on. Our family is bankrupt, and Diego will accept nothing as collateral...except for me. My father has 30 days to pay up or I’m dead...unless I can convince Diego to spare me.

He thought I deserved the same wrath he endured all those years ago. I came when I was summoned, unaware that my past was waiting behind closed doors. One look into those eyes that wore dark shades of fury and I knew this was part of his plan. With time, I started to see fragments of the boy I once knew. Before long, he was a man holding the key to my heart. Now that I’m ready to give him all of me, he’s gone and all that’s left is the broken pieces of my shattered heart.

Madden and Kian, dragon-shifters from Daeria, have been closer than brothers all their lives. Sharing one surrogate is more than ideal to them.

My life has become a shell of the one I once knew after losing my other half, my dear twin sister. Before she was killed in a bear attack, I made her two promises, to raise her twin daughters as if they were my own and to protect them with my life. Until now, I've kept those promises. When the wicked Fae Queen Malvolia sends three winged fire mages to hunt us, I'm faced with an impossible choice, kill them or let them take us hostage.

Well, to hell with them. Luna hasn't got time to convince them otherwise, juggling her studies, magic practice, three handsome guardians, and a mysterious stranger that she can't stay away from. When a dark spell unlocks her memories, she opens a door she'll never close. Monsters court monsters, and turns out, she's one of them.

Will my mates set aside their thirst for revenge long enough to help me find the children born out of our one night of passion five years ago? And, finally, will any of this matter if we are all doomed to die in the cruel king's court?
