What happens when the truth doesn’t set you free? Once again, I have it all. My friends tell me I’m popular, that my name makes me a king. My girlfriend is queen. All I lost has been restored. But nothing is the way it used to be. I can’t play football. People are wary of me after treating me like shit for years. And Gloria Walton is now the ghost that haunts the halls of Willow Heights. When I stumble upon the fallen queen’s secret, nothing can stop me from going back for more. Not the fact that she’s a social pariah. Not the fact that I have a girlfriend.

One week. No names. No expectations. That was our agreement. We were supposed to walk away once our time in Hawaii was over. No matter what. But that was before I finally decided to take a risk.

I told her my secrets and she told me gilded lies. The words that dripped from her lips like honey were nothing but empty promises. Her betrayal blindsided me. Posie had been my constant. My anchor. My calm. Until she wasn’t. Now she’s my enemy. Before I could even the score, she fled to the other side of the country where she thought she was safe from my wrath.

We can't let the wild win. Despite everything I've done, my kingdom is falling apart. To overturn the murderous sorcerers determined to remake the realm into something wild and cruel, we must rely an unexpected heir to the throne. But the first fault lines started dividing our country centuries ago. We can't reach toward the past for absolution. The men I love and the allies we've gathered will have to build a new future. And I'd sacrifice anything to know I've finally set things right... even my hard-won happiness.

When Eli and Ember are taken by Aneira, she is forced to make a deal to save the man she loves. A curse is placed on Ember that if she uses the sword against the Seelie Queen, Eli dies. A price she might not be willing to make. The fight for Earth is on, and old enemies must work together to stop Aneira from bringing down the wall between Earth and the Otherworld, making humans servants to the fae and killing all those who oppose her reign.

Ember discovers she is not only fae, but is one of the most feared type in existence—a Dae—considered an abomination among their kind. Her race is hunted down and killed because of their power. After her magic causes an electrical storm which destroys Seattle, Ember is on the run, pursued by the both the light and dark fae.

Fresh off her victory over Tony Belcher and his Aryan extremists, seasoned ATF agent Lexi Mills finds herself in the crosshairs of a new and deadly enemy—a killer who uses intricate weapons of destruction as his signature calling card.

One week. No names. No expectations. That was our agreement. We were supposed to walk away after our time in Hawaii was over. No matter what.

After months of searching, Ember and her friends have finally located the Sword of Light, the only weapon capable of killing Queen Aneira and ending her rule. This is Ember's destiny. Or so she thought. Now a pact to save the man she loves changes everything.

Life doesn’t come with a script, but some moments don’t need one. Senior year pushed us all. It dared us to embrace wonder and chase love. It challenged us to find out who we were as people, as partners, as a family. We’re so much better together. Graduation isn’t the end of our story by any stretch. It’s the next chapter.

When chaos erupts at a local grocery store in a quiet town near Sacramento, police arrive to discover a horrifying scene—explosive devices trapping a crowd of civilians inside the store, ready to detonate at the push of a button. After ATF explosives expert Lexi Mills arrives on the scene, she quickly realizes that this hostage situation runs far deeper than she imagined....

I’ve been watching her. Calculating, biding my time, planning what I’ll do to her when I finally have her. She is the exception to the rule. I don’t chase women; they fall at my feet. But for her, I’ll use everything at my command to make her mine. I want her body. I want her screams. I want her devotion. And I won’t stop until she doesn’t recognize herself without me.

The truth is, I’m the king of wanting what I can’t have. Jane is a beacon of light I didn’t expect to find. Her innocence and joy call to my dark soul. But she’s off-limits, my best friend’s kid sister. And I’m a damaged jerk with enough baggage to fill a jet plane. All it took was one taste for my resolve to stay away to crumble. Now I can’t get her out of my head, out of my mangled heart. If her brother finds out about us, he might kill me. If Jane finds out about my past, she’ll never speak to me again. This love is a disaster waiting to happen.

Some people say you should forget the past, focus on the present, and dream for the future. That’s what I intend to do, because I want nothing more than to move on and start a new family—and a new life in Greythorn—with Silas, Damon, and Jude. But the past doesn’t want to die, and despite our reign, there’s one person who wants nothing more than to see our Kingdom fall.

In the course of a year, I have had my heart broken, re-forged, only to be shattered again. The tears won’t come. Not anymore. No more looking back. No more asking what if. Coop wants me to let myself feel it. Jake wants to distract me. Archie wants to put the world at my feet. Ian wants me to not make choices, until I’m ready. I’ve got family ready to catch me, but I refuse to fall. No more waiting. No more holding my breath. The future is now. We have a chance to forge the path we want, and I’m all in.

ATF Agent and resident bomb expert Lexi Mills is on a mission. Commanding a task force of hand-picked specialists, she sets her sights on a terrorist organization known as The Gatekeepers. A religious sect with a violent plan to cull the nonbelievers before the coming Rapture, the group is headed by its charismatic leader, Tony Belcher. The first time she crossed paths with Belcher, Lexi lost her leg—and her partner.

Once, I tried to escape the monsters who made me. When that failed, I hid inside my diamond shell, so no one would know the truth. Now everyone knows. I’m no longer Gloria Walton, the reigning queen of Willow Heights Prep Academy. The tables have turned. Now I’m the whipping girl, and someone else sits on the throne. She can have it. I don’t want it.

Broken isn’t forever. It’s time I worked on myself and my mental health. I won’t give up. Broken can’t be forever. What happened to Eli still haunts my thoughts, no matter what I do to block it out. Broken won’t be forever. I see Lauren in myself, and it hurts. I see Kenzo and Atticus, and it hurts. I run into Saint and Ambrose, and it hurts. Then there’s Drake, so determined to reopen the wounds of the past. Please don’t let broken be forever. It hurts.

I am who I am for a reason. The monster the world sees when they look at me was born 20 years ago to protect my brothers from the same fate I endured on my 16th birthday. After that night, I locked myself away until the night I met Sloane. She was both forbidden and everything I’ve ever wanted all wrapped into one, but I wasn’t the only one who loved her. In the end, she made her choice, and it wasn’t me—or so I thought.

Bennett has no idea why Betty Mouton hates him. Other than the time he accidentally hit her boobs with a glitter bomb in their community theater performance of A Midsummer Night’s Dream, he’s been nothing but helpful and accommodating. But that notorious “incident” happened nine years ago. Time for the gorgeous redhead to get over it and admit to the real chemistry between them, not just the onstage kind.
