It was an innocent mistake; she knocked on the wrong door. It was mine. If I were a better man, I would've just let her go. But I'm not. I'm a cruel bastard. I ruthlessly claimed her virtue for my own. It should've been enough but it wasn't. I needed more...I craved it. She became my obsession. Her sweetness and purity taunted my dark soul. The need to possess her nearly drove me mad. A Russian arms dealer had no business pursuing a naive librarian student. She didn't belong in my world. I would bring her only pain. But it was too late...she was mine and I was keeping her.

The Light Eaters is a deep immersion into the drama of green life and the complexity of this wild and awe-inspiring world that challenges our very understanding of agency, consciousness, and intelligence. In looking closely, we see that plants, rather than imitate human intelligence, have perhaps formed a parallel system.

I took her innocence as payment. She was far too young and naïve to be betrothed to a monster like me. I would bring only pain and darkness into her sheltered world. That's why she ran. I should've just let her go. She never asked to marry into a powerful Russian mafia family. Unfortunately for her, I don't care. I own her, and after three years of searching, I've found her. My runaway bride was about to learn disobedience has consequences...punishing ones. Nothing was going to keep me from claiming her before the eyes of God and man. She's mine now, and I'm never letting her go.

But that doesn’t prevent Sam’s killer from believing Daphne has something that belonged to Sam—something the killer will stop at nothing to get.

Spy work is rough, especially when you're undercover at a company that indulges in some pretty shady practices–like, say, stealing ancient shifter eggs. With ancient shifter babies inside them. So it's only natural that Antelope Shifter spy Zina would draw a line in the sand. Except that now she's got more sand than she could ever have imagined–she's on the run in the South Australian desert with three precious eggs in her bag and murderous enemies on her tail, and the only person by her side is a guy she met once three years ago.

Maisie's been working long, grueling hours as an emergency room nurse in Sydney for what seems like forever. Not to mention that she's just broken up with her useless boyfriend. She's finally about to take a break: a quick, cheap island holiday up north to tropical Queensland. Sure, it's not five-star luxury, but two-point-five-star luxury is almost as good, right? But now a gorgeous guy has just literally fallen through her apartment window.

In the frozen isolation of Alaska’s Aurora Station, scientist Dr. Joseph Kellerman survives alone beneath the hum of failing generators and the last electromagnetic field keeping the microscopic machines at bay. Outside, the air shimmers with invisible predators. Inside, Joe speaks to ghosts—...

My obsessive desire to possess her is the real problem—for both of us.
