In the 19th century, American meals were about subsistence, not enjoyment. But as a new century approached, appetites broadened, and David Fairchild, a young botanist with an insatiable lust to explore and experience the world, set out in search of foods that would enrich the American farmer and enchant the American eater. Kale from Croatia, mangoes from India, and hops from Bavaria. Peaches from China, avocados from Chile, and pomegranates from Malta. But Fairchild's finds weren't just limited to food.

I’ve never been a fan of Christmas. At least, until I met David. Aside from some alpha bear issues he has with an opposing family that insists on sabotaging his business, he’s a good, dependable guy. Someone I could easily see myself falling in love with. He’s strong, charming, kind… and he’s also a little obsessed with the festive side of Christmas. Something I am not. I was planning to spend my Christmas alone this year. I didn’t want to see my family, and be reminded of why I never fit in. Thought I’d be just fine by myself. Having David around, though is turning all my ...

At noon on October 27, 1924, a factory worker was admitted to a hospital in New York City, suffering from hallucinations and convulsions. Before breakfast the next day, he was dead. Alice Hamilton was determined to prevent such a tragedy from happening again. By the time of the accident, Hamilton had pioneered the field of industrial medicine in the United States. She specialized in workplace safety years before the Occupational Safety and Health Administration was created. But this time, she was up against a formidable new foe: America’s relentless push for progress, regardless of the cost.

On a frigid April night in 1912, the world’s largest—and soon most famous—ocean liner struck an iceberg and slipped beneath the waves. She had scarcely disappeared before her new journey began, a seemingly limitless odyssey through the world’s fixation with her every tragic detail. Plans to find and raise the Titanic began almost immediately. Yet seven decades passed before it was found. Why? And of some three million shipwrecks that litter the ocean floor, why is the world still so fascinated with this one?

Twenty years ago, a dragon shifter clan in Petrichor went rogue and set fire to the entire town, resulting in the deaths of thousands. In the wake of this infernal tragedy, the trajectory of the lives of the survivors—and some folk from neighboring towns—has been drastically altered, with humans and magical beings alike struggling to navigate their futures in the shadow of the ever-dreaded dragons, and some are unlucky enough to bump into them...

Ten years ago, an order of witches known as the Coven of Blackwood went rogue and unleashed a curse on the towns of Morgville, Circene, Grimdale, and Hecand, leaving death and destruction in their wake. All four towns would have been wiped out of existence, had the tiger clans not stopped the witches. Much time has passed since tragedy struck, but the horrors remain fresh in memory. The towns have lived in peace and security, all because of the efforts of the tigers. But the threat is not over. Not by a long shot. And now the tigers must rise again. Because they are the only thing standing ...

I’m not the average billionaire. Heck, I’m not even human. I’m a bear shifter, the last living member of my clan…and I don’t plan to find a mate. At least, I didn’t, until I met her. She’s beautiful and smells like hibiscuses…and she’s a human. Being with Kris is dangerous. If she learns the truth about me or other supernaturals like my fae friend, she could expose our secret and put us all in danger. But our connection feels…fated. Besides, there are bigger problems to worry about. Like the werewolf clan that murdered my family. Jacob Moonfang has come for me, and he ...

I knew I shouldn’t have agreed to take that sabbatical. At least, I wouldn’t have been on that flight when it crashed. But this is my reality now. I’m just a fae nurse with a fanny pack, Freezing my butt off on a magical mountain I can’t escape. This is going to be one hell of a Christmas.

It’s those bloody diamonds. I wouldn’t have taken off if not for them. Or flown coach with a creepy stalker after me. When our plane crashed into the mountain… I knew I was really screwed. I should have died on this snowy mountain… Luckily, someone’s come my way. But this sexy hermit wants nothing to do with me. All he wants is to save his son, back in his secret lodge.

Look, my life was a living hell long before I died on Frost Mountain. The plane crash? Just another regular day. I guess it’s what happens when you get cursed by a witch.

Perks of becoming a bounty hunter? You get cool weapons and handcuffs…and you get to hunt people down. The downsides?

Sure, some people have rotten luck. Me? I get to spend Christmas on Frost Mountain… …handcuffed to an infuriating, impossibly sexy outlaw on the run. This wolf shifter claims he’s innocent, but the trail of blood in his wake says otherwise. And as long as I’m handcuffed to this big, ...

Running from the Elf King was a bad idea. But nothing will put me in a marriage this Christmas with the man who kidnapped me last year. The man who had my parents murdered. The problem is, Kagan’s Cross is like pretty much every other small town in Alaska—crawling with the king’s men. Nowhere is safe, especially since he’s made me an outlaw, and if I hadn’t been saved by the polar bear shifter, I’d probably be dead by now. But this sexy alpha male has a dark past of his own. And with Jared coming after me, this Christmas is going to be one hell of a rollercoaster. Author's Note:...

I thought losing my job was the worst part. But getting played and duped by my ex-boyfriend really took the cake. Because of him, I’m back in this small town, trying to find a new job before Christmas. And the only person who can give me that job happens to be a sexy billionaire shifter with a history of being a playboy. He’s got his sights on me, and I can’t pretend he’s not the highlight of my new workplace. Maybe I’m wrong for not trusting him, but if there’s one thing I learned from my last relationship. It’s that snow leopard shifters never change their spots. Ever. ...

I didn’t want to go home for Thanksgiving. And I guess my wish got granted. I just wasn’t expecting our plane to explode. Crashing into Frost Mountain was bad enough… But now I’m a wanted woman. And every second I spend on this mountain… is a moment closer to death. These people…they don’t like witches. Except for him, of course. That steamy alpha wolf shifter. Being rescued by him in the snow was one thing. But now he’s made himself my protector. And there’s nothing I can say or do about it. Nothing I can do except worry… Because protecting me means putting his village ...

Escaping death twice in sixteen years? Now, that’s real luck. Then again, it means I’m accident-prone. Not exactly the type of gal you’d ask to the Valentine’s Day dance. I just wish my high school crush had asked me… Before we fell through the ice and he disappeared forever. Was I a goner when my plane crashed on Frost Mountain sixteen years later? Nope. Bumping into him was the real shocker. This sizzling dragon shifter can’t possibly be the same guy I lost in high school… Except it is. He’s bigger, hotter, darker. A real survivor. But crashing on Frost Mountain couldn’t...

As far as mid-life adventures go, this one was a total bust. I thought trying to free everyone from Frost Mountain would give me a splitting headache. But it was me who got split. One spell gone wrong, and now there’s a part of me stuck in that cold, deadly dimension. And the other part? Back on Earth. It does sound like a relief…unless you’re a prime suspect in a federal case about a missing plane. Or snowed in inside a lonely cabin with a witch hunter. This steamy wolf shifter wants me dead more than anything… But the look in his eyes tells me he’s hungry for something else. ...

To be honest, it just wasn’t my lucky day. It started with the plane crash. And then I got shot in my leg. Guess what? It gets even worse. I’ve crash-landed on a magical mountain, and there’s no way off. The mountain man who shot me isn’t even human. He’s a polar bear shifter, and he hates my kind. He’d have let me die…if I hadn’t begged him to save me. Now I’m stuck in his cabin until Valentine’s Day—I mean, until my injury heals. I hate him with everything I’ve got, But this sizzling shifter’s not the lonely hermit I made him out to be. He’s got a son…and ...
