It used to be easy to pass as human beat cop Essie Shaw. Lay low, don’t draw too much attention. Now I’m hiding in plain sight, working for the JP, praying my teammates won’t notice my non-human magical quirks and figure out I’m a nephilim. As the magic clawing within me threatens to reveal me, my complicated emotional bond with the team grows: Gideon, whose cold, professional distance cuts me; Jacob, whose mixed messages confuse me; Kol, whose friendship warms me; and Marcus, whose wolf could turn on me.

My whole life has been turned upside down and set on fire, but now I’m Agent Essie Shaw, full-fledged JP team member. I walk hand-in-hand with Gideon, crave all of Marcus’s ferocious passion, yearn for Jacob’s intense stillness - and ache for Kol, whose soul is torn so deep he’s thinking of doing the unthinkable. Leaving the team.

The monsters already own my body…but do they want my heart? Left to die in a monstrous land, I’m saved by the monster I least expect. He hates me, but he loves what my body can do for him. I shouldn’t want to keep him. I shouldn’t want to keep all of them. I’m just their plaything, after all. But, one by one, they find their way into my heart. Even as the world falls apart around me, I realize that I’ve become just as obsessed with my monsters as they are with me.

I fled to the mountains to get away from women. They all wanted a piece of my fortune, but I wasn't about to give them anything. I didn't want romance. I didn't want love. Until I saw Savannah. Wandering through the wilderness by herself. I followed her to make sure she was safe from the beasts lurking inside the darkness. But who's going to protect her from the beast lurking inside me? The obsessive one who wants to own her. The one who wants to steal her away where she can never escape. She's striking something deep and primal in me, and I don't know if I can hold it back.

Dragon Quintelaides aren't meant to be split up—even for just a few days. But that's exactly what the Archon has planned for Alyssa's Quintelaide. Arthur is called back to the capitol to teach others his new self-healing runetracing ability, while Jaxon, Ryon, and Harry travel west to hunt down the scattered remnants of a Silithik hive. Meanwhile, Alyssa and Maze are sent to the south to work on a secret Tinker Guild project: a superweapon that can end the war against the Silithik in the blink of an eye. A superweapon that only Alyssa can control.

Desperate to avoid the Archon's demands—and his inevitable wrath at Alyssa for not sharing her new runetracing ability—Field Marshall Tyronix sends the Ninety-First on a dangerous mission: traveling behind enemy lines to the Daggerscar Canyon, where they must destroy a hive dedicated to producing the Silithik wasps which have been plaguing the western front for the entire war. It's a mission that will bring Alyssa and Harry, the Quint's Ranger, closer together—something he is now eager to do after seeing his three Quintmates have their way with the beautiful Pyromancer.

After a violent confrontation forces them to flee the capitol, Alyssa and her Quintmates struggle to cope with the fallout. Warrior Jaxon focuses on their path forward, while Frost Mage Arthur contemplates their place in history. Alyssa doesn't know how to feel about her decision to disobey the Archon and whether to blame herself for the events that followed. Despite his outward cavalier attitude, Ryon struggles most of all. The Shadow can't close his eyes at night without seeing the faces of those he's killed.

Talk about rags to riches. Cinderella had nothing on me. I have a sparkly new crown, a remodeled ancient castle, and I’m mated to six of the most delectable princes a girl could conjure. But my happily-ever-after honeymoon still seems a long way off. There are plenty of magical creatures in Haret and Earth who would kill to see me dethroned - literally - and we can’t let our guard down yet. Still, my men promised me a break and a bucket list, and my mates always deliver their goods. We’ll just have to get our sugar in small bites.

I let my temper get the best of me. Now we have less to work with and a much larger puzzle to solve. I wiped out our best lead and shook the foundation of my new rule, all in one shanking. Double crap. My Darkblood subjects no longer trust me, and we're being sucked into the biggest scavenger hunt of the two worlds. Even if the leprechaun's curse was never real, something more sinister was locked inside that gold coin: doubt.

The rest of the werewolf pack might consider Aric Connor to be omniscient and destined to save the world when evil returns to claim it. But for the most part, 15-year-old Aric ignores the confirmations of his powers, taking everything in stride until he meets her. Celia Wird wasn't supposed to awaken naked in the mountains of Colorado, not when she was just stalking her prey in a filthy alley several states away. She especially wasn't supposed to meet Aric, the handsome werewolf who comes to her aid.

A gamble gone wrong. Hoping to avoid another Darkblood death, we took the proactive route. I had no idea it would get this dangerous for me instead. Lata and Sol were only trying to help, but now the whole lion pride may be in trouble. I’ve grown too confident in my power, and my enemies just found a way to my weakness.

Sugar keeps a Qilin in the light. We all knew it from dealing with Aleron, and I vowed I'd never go dark. But what's a girl to do when her own body rejects the sweetness she craves? Healing Haret is still my mission, but my mates and I are starting to suffer from the stress. As our kingdom wobbles between light and dark, the life I've been building begins to crumble.

Well, that was embarrassing. Imagine my surprise when spontaneous shifting gets added to my list of pregnancy symptoms. There's never a good time for that sort of horniness. Dair thinks he knows just the mage to contact, but are Patriam and potions really the answer? The jaguar twins are growing their following faster than I'm healing Haret.

Home is calling, and I've ghosted long enough. It's time to visit my mother—she's the last option for getting answers to my questions. The problem is, my gut still doesn't trust her. How can a girl learn to be a mother from someone who's never really been one? The jaguar twins are still growing in power, but the twins in my belly are, too. I don't have the time or energy to split between these pairs, forcing me to place my trust in people I barely know. It's time to see how deep this love between the Qilin and the dragons really goes.

My happily ever after is here, and I’m going to make the most of it. I have my men, my new families, and my people all coming together to make sure things are safe for what’s coming next—our twins.

On top of all the help I have, I’ve learned the most important lesson—to trust myself. I’m Carlyle Licorne, and I finally feel like an everyday goddess.
