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.

Paul Watkins always wanted to believe in the supernatural. Poltergeists, werewolves, witches, he desperately wanted them all to be real. Then he discovered they truly do exist—and it’s his task to protect them. After a beautiful woman who claims to be hunted by dangerous men catches a ride, his life changes forever. He’s taken to a strange and magical mansion, told that he’s its new owner, and that he has the power of Talismancy: he can enchant objects, places, and people, infusing them with magical power.

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.

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.

I’m the last of the original crew still working at the pub. Bridget met a guy online and moved to Australia, James got fired, Ivy had a kid, Zara went to work for her dad in Miami, and now Lauren is leaving too. I’m the only one left. With no prospects and no opportunities. Until out of the blue, I get one.

Bouncing between friends’ apartments and the shelter was hard enough. But now, women are being abducted right off the streets by Awakened. That’s why I decided to get out of New York and head for the forest upstate–I can be alone there–alone and safe.

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.

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.

As a strong initiate of the Sawa sect, Kei never expected to be given the boot, while someone else cheated their way up the ladder. But here he was, kicked out, speeding across the planet, with one chance left to prove himself: His mission to infiltrate the enemy sect, and steal what makes them the most powerful family on the planet. Fail, and lose everything he’s ever strived for. Fail, and lose the one thing he loves the most, his family. For Kei, failure is just not an option.

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.

She’ll give him her body to save her family. Little does she know that he plans to ruin both. Charlotte Van Kempt will do anything to keep her family afloat. Even if it means signing a contract with a mysterious billionaire. Except that he has secrets that unravel in front of her. He has threats that bind her to him. And he has pain stitched into his skin.

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.

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.

Skye is reunited with her friends and lovers in the Ha’kan, but the shadow of the sorceress looms over her. Even as her magical power increases, she knows she is no match for the woman who seeks vengeance for her great-grandfather’s infidelity. But Skye is no longer a child, and her years with the highly sexual Ha’kan have taught her a few things as she considers an entirely new way of dealing with her nemesis. As the Second Great War threatens, it is uncertain if the Alliance will hold. The Goddess of the Underworld stirs, having waited centuries for this moment.

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.

Syn is a womanizer and a rogue. Her name fits her perfectly, for she is indeed a sinner - flawed and unrepentant. She also happens to be the best thief in all of Arianthem. When Syn enters a contract to steal a series of enchanted stones, she runs headlong into the roadblock that is Lady Jorden - a noblewoman far above Syn's station in life who is pursuing Syn like no other. And Syn, who has run from everything in her life, finds herself wanting to give in to that wicked smile.

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.

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.
