Saint-Malo, Brittany, 1758.
For Lucinde Leon, the youngest daughter of one of Saint-Malo's wealthiest ship-owners, the high walls of the city are more hindrance than haven. While her sisters are interested in securing advantageous marriages, Luce dreams of escaping her elegant but stifling home and joining a ship's crew. Only Samuel—Luce's best friend and an English smuggler—understands her longing for the sea, secretly teaching her to sail whenever she can sneak away. For Luce, the stolen time on the water with Samuel is precious.

One stormy morning, Luce's plans are blown off course when she rescues Morgan de Chatelaine, the youngest son of the most powerful ship-owner in Saint-Malo, from the sea. Immediately drawn to his charm and sense of adventure, she longs to attend the glittering ball held in honor of his safe return and begins to contemplate a different kind of future for herself.

But it is not only Luce's hopes at stake—the local fae are leaving Brittany and taking their magic with them, while the long-standing war with the English means Saint-Malo is always at risk of attack. As Luce is plunged into a world of magic, brutality, and seduction, secrets that have long been lost in the shadowy depths of the ocean begin to rise to the surface. The truth of her own power is growing brighter and brighter, shining like a sea-glass slipper.

Or the scales of a sea-maid's tail.]]>

<![CDATA[Pack Rage (The Splintered Bond, #4)]]> 221220646 I’m on the run again.

My mates are gone, the packs are fractured, and our world teeters on the edge of ruin. If the corrupt Eastern leaders keep their stranglehold on the Council, there’ll be nothing left worth fighting for.

I know what I have to run. This time, though, I’m running straight into the heart of danger. And I’m not alone.

But our allies and our bonds may not be enough when we discover the secrets that have festered in the heart of one final pack.

The battle will take the lives of shifters on both sides. When the ones left standing turn to me, the pack reject, I have to choose to punish the evil, or save the innocent.

Is it time to rage, or to rule?

Pack Rage is the fourth and final main book in The Splintered Bond, a medium-dark paranormal wolf shifter slow build, slow burn series, where the heroine will not have to choose between her love interests. The publication date will be moved forward. ]]>

I've only got one more year at Griffin Academy, but it's a little hard to focus on school after the bomb that was dropped on my personal life.

For years, Unpredictables have been brushed aside by the rest of the magical community. Now people are starting to pay attention—and I’m not entirely sure that’s a good thing.

I’ve always been content to fly under the radar, but now that we’ve been invited to participate in the Inter-academy Trials, the entire school will be in the spotlight.

As if trying to sort out my feelings for the four insanely gorgeous men who all want to date me wasn’t enough, now I’m juggling magical games, deadly plots, unexpected allies, and notoriety I never asked for.

All right, second semester. Do your worst.

Kane (Wolfwere #1) 150294674
Born as a creature of the forest, Kane is cunning, strong, and brave. He's also a terrible driver. And reading makes no sense to his wolf brain. So, he's hired a troubled Minneapolis dive bar worker to help him out.

But nothing could have prepared Emelda Throne for what happens when Kane steps into the moonlight. Despite what the legends say, he doesn't become some snarling werewolf. She's only seen him turn into dogs. Usually tiny dogs.

However, there is one change Emelda has never seen, and it's one Kane won't talk about.

It's a race against time after a homicidal paramilitary group learns the value of the infected man's blood and will stop at nothing to find him first.

Can Emelda and Kane's "pack of two" find the secret to reverse Kane's transformation and get him back home?

Never before has a female been chosen to ride a dragon. Join Sophia as she conquers evil, as the dragon riders should have been doing for centuries with the first 12 books in The Exceptional Sophia Beaufont series!

---

The Elite, a guild comprised exclusively of dragon riders, is dead according to most. No one has seen a rider in decades. The problems they used to fight overwhelm the world. Dragons are thought to be near extinction.

However, the Elite aren’t dead�

It’s just that a bunch of crusty, old men who do nothing that benefits the world at large are easy to mistake as useless corpses.

Sophia Beaufont is about to change all of that.

When the dragon egg that magnetized to her hatches, it sets Sophia on a new course. The Elite are immediately notified. She’s expected to train. To defend. To fight.

Sophia is ready to conquer evil, as the dragon riders should have been doing for centuries.

However, the Elite have been turning a blind eye, allowing the world to be overrun by criminals.

That’s all about to change.

S. Beaufont isn’t a girl who will be told to sit down and relax when a war is brewing that only a dragon rider can extinguish.

<![CDATA[Inked in Ashes: A twisted fairy tale retelling (Inkbound Book 1)]]> 229253295 For fans of Once Upon a Time, and Wicked.

Escape the page, or die trying�

I’ve spent twenty-five years in the Hollow, poor as dirt, cursed with a stepmother who hates me, and dreaming about a faraway land that I don’t understand. Only two things that make life worth living are my falcon, Fetch, and my best friend, Molly.

But when Moll’s plot to land a royal husband at the palace ball goes horribly wrong, I find myself staring at a king with a glass stiletto buried in his chest and a blood-covered Molly standing over him. We’ve got to move…and fast, or we’ll both wind up swinging from the hangman’s noose.

Worse? The palace sorcerer is using everything he can to find the culprit including raising the dead.

More complicated? Duncan…brother to the King, whose eye I've unintentionally caught, a man whose secrets might be deadlier than the undead soldiers breathing down our necks, is making me second-guess everything I've ever known.
With revolution brewing and a mysterious man calling to me from my dreams, I have no choice but to embrace my fate�
But what if my fate is beyond anything I could ever imagine? What if the only land I’ve ever known isn’t home at all?

What if I’m trapped inside a fairytale, and the only way out…is through?]]>

<![CDATA[The Demon's Fae: The Complete Series #1-3]]> 59441070 Fast-paced supernatural action, magic, adventure, and a medium-burn why choose romance with three unusual but sexy and devoted guys, all led by a kickass heroine with a very British sense of humour.

HELD BY MAGIC
The London fae court is in turmoil and a demon prince plans to take control.

I make one tiny mistake, and suddenly I’m marked for death, running from demons, and pursued by my fae ex-lover. Who knew stealing a magic box could cause so much trouble?
My skills are more in demand than I realise because three hot demons from a mysterious institute track me down.
Powerful but seductive elemental demon Cillian.
Sharp and guarded djinn Morgan.
And their companion Dex who’s definitely not human and also strangely familiar.
Hook ups aren’t on my agenda, but these guys have some interesting skills to distract me from my imminent death.


ELEMENTS OF MAGIC
A day spent tracking down demon-filled boxes? Frustrating.
Four powerful and sexy men in my life? Distracting.
A night out in a fae drug den? Bad idea.

We’ve discovered a secret alliance between rogue fae and the demon prince—one that could destroy the London fae court. The mysterious and sexy fae the Collector could stop the court’s downfall but is he prepared to step forward and reveal himself?


SHADES OF MAGIC

A demon unleashes. The dark fae return. And a hellhound is missing.

I finally discover why I’m tracked down by a demon—and how I'm connected to these sought-after boxes. But if I have to face any more surprise revelations, I'll convince myself I'm in one of Morgan's parallel worlds. There's not enough whiskey in the world to deal with all this.

Consumed by Fate is the final book for Diana and Ravens story but there is definitely more to come in the alpha territories series. Diana is trying to remain strong as werewolf Queen while keeping secret the loss of her wolf from her people. Raven is also trying to stay near Diana and support her even though she is blaming him for losing her wolf. We learn more of Maverick’s back story as secretly he works to undermine Diana and Raven. I love that this is a great story first with spice added to enhance it.

<![CDATA[Witch on Wheels (The Nomad Witch #1)]]> 203633360 Scarlett Prynne is new in town, but that won’t stop trouble from finding the young witch. It always does.

Before her brother kicked her through a magical portal that eventually landed her in nowhere Tonopah, Nevada, he called her an agent of chaos. But let’s be fair. Our Scarlett doesn’t create problems.

Her magic just attracts it in all shapes and furry sizes.

Like her familiar, Runeclaw. The black cat’s tongue is as sharp as his nails, and he has a snark that can cut through just about anything.

This time though, trouble was already here.

The small town Scarlett wound up in is already home to a conspiracy or two, along with a dark magic hidden in the shadows.

Perfect for Scarlett and Runeclaw in the worst possible ways.

Maybe her brother had a point.

Nah. It’s just another coincidence. Right? What plans do the dark forces of Tonopah have in mind for our motorcycle-loving witch? Want to find out?

For action, magic, snarky banter, martial arts, mystical creatures, and a dash of mystery, join Scarlett and Runeclaw on their new Oriceran adventure!]]>

Set Me On Fire 222087710 When our passion ignites like wildfire, we decide to give in to our delicious urges and share one crazy, unforgettable night.
I even get a little souvenir to remember them by: a positive pregnancy test. Oops.
It’s time to mummy up, and that includes getting a steady job� at their fire station. But it’s fine; they don’t need to know my oven’s been stuffed with one of their buns.

So who’s the daddy? Could it be:
Knox—with grey eyes that stare right into your soul, he leads his team into danger with barely a backward look and he’s just as commanding off the job.
Charlie—the hyperactive guy with a heart of gold. The only thing he takes seriously is putting out fires and now, me.
Or Noah—my high school crush is all grown up, but now I’m back in his life, he’s not willing to let me go.

I don’t know, so I decide it’s best not to tell them.
But somehow they find out anyway, and they’re not upset—they’re ecstatic.
The guys are 100% in, caring for me, protecting me, making sure I have everything I need.

Hmmm. Maybe I don’t need a paternity test, after all. Maybe I just need them.

This is a stand alone why choose romance with a HEA at the end.]]>

When apprentice spy Ratter stabs a handsy duke at a royal ball, she knows her crime is unforgivable.

Not the murdering. The getting caught.

Facing exile from the city she loves, she’ll need to make sure a few people are taken care of. That may even include a suspiciously handsome spy from Pict, who apparently holds a grudge.

Sure, she poisoned him, but she was protecting a dangerous secret that could destroy everyone who depends on her.

When the tall, dark, and hot-as-hell spy finds out Ratter’s secrets anyway, she may have to take care of one last loose end.

But can she kill the Alpha who gave her a red-hot first Solstice kiss?

The Spy’s Solstice is a novella in The Lost Lines fantasy Omegaverse series, featuring a 17-year-old Ratter, the orphaned girl who appeared in many of the previous interconnected standalones. This holiday story is low steam, but hints at the multiple love interests an older Ratter will meet in the next full-length book in the series.]]>

The Atlas Six (The Atlas, #1) 50520939
Enter the latest round of six: Libby Rhodes and Nico de Varona, unwilling halves of an unfathomable whole, who exert uncanny control over every element of physicality. Reina Mori, a naturalist, who can intuit the language of life itself. Parisa Kamali, a telepath who can traverse the depths of the subconscious, navigating worlds inside the human mind. Callum Nova, an empath easily mistaken for a manipulative illusionist, who can influence the intimate workings of a person’s inner self. Finally, there is Tristan Caine, who can see through illusions to a new structure of reality—an ability so rare that neither he nor his peers can fully grasp its implications.

When the candidates are recruited by the mysterious Atlas Blakely, they are told they will have one year to qualify for initiation, during which time they will be permitted preliminary access to the Society’s archives and judged based on their contributions to various subjects of impossibility: time and space, luck and thought, life and death. Five, they are told, will be initiated. One will be eliminated. The six potential initiates will fight to survive the next year of their lives, and if they can prove themselves to be the best among their rivals, most of them will.

Most of them.]]>

I’m Bree Mortimer, and I can bring ghosts back to life.

The hot-as-Hades Roman Centurion in my bedroom is living proof that I can raise the dead. Now all I have to do is stop him swimming naked in the duck pond and trying to stab anyone with a man bun, and my life will be perfect.

Hah. That’s a joke. My life is a spooktacular failure. I’ve got two ghostly lovers who are desperate for me to bring them back, too, but if I don’t figure out how to control my new magical powers, there could be grave consequences.

And that’s going to be difficult since the only person who can help me was ripped to pieces by a monster who can’t possibly be human. Some dark power is after resurrection magic, and if I don’t figure out how to stop it, I’m next.

Luckily, with a sword-wielding psychotic ex-ghost, a sarcastic royal rake, a cinnamon roll Victorian gentleman, a sadistic bat, a vampire-slaying bookshop owner, and the village undertaker on my side, I stand a ghost of a chance. Right?

I’m Bree, and I see dead people.

Not all dead people. Only those with unfinished business. They’re everywhere � I’ll be eating my breakfast and a poisoned heiress glares over my Cheerios, and I can’t even enjoy the wilderness without being accosted by chattering ex-hikers who don’t understand which mushrooms are edible.

I’ve returned to my hometown of Grimdale to cat-sit for my parents while I plan my next move. I’m looking forward to raiding their fridge, hanging out with their two mischievous kittens, and staying far, far away from anything supernatural.

But I forgot that I’m never alone in Grimdale.

The three ghosts I used to play with as a kid are back in my life again. Only now I’m their age and they’re infuriatingly attractive.

There’s the slightly psychotic Roman soldier who loves the Great British Bake Off, the bossy, aristocratic royal prince who demands the finer things in life (er, death), and the blind Victorian gentleman adventurer who doesn’t have a mean bone in his body (or any bones, for that matter).

But my three ghoulish houseguests are the least of my problems. I’ve landed a job giving tours of the historic Grimdale Cemetery, and on my very first day, I stumble into a fresh corpse.

The dead guy’s ghost needs me to solve his murder so he can cross over, but sticking my nose into spirit business might see me to an early grave.

As for my three hauntingly hot friends? It turns out their unfinished business…is me.

You’re So Dead to Me is the first in a darkly humorous paranormal romance series by bestselling author Steffanie Holmes.

<![CDATA[The Christening (The Lightning Conjurer, #3)]]> 58474243
Under the protective arm of the Magistrate, Aspen has agreed to cooperate with the Inner Circle in hopes that her radical visions for the Elementalist community can be realized. On the surface, things are going well: she’s been traveling the world, rescuing cities from Terramantic temper tantrums, attending Elementalist conferences, and meeting powerful Asterian Officials around the globe.

And yet, in spite of (or perhaps, because of) Aspen’s tenuous alliance with the Magistrate, political divisions are simmering among his Prelates. Not everyone shares Aspen’s Utopian vision, and the Magistrate’s grip on the Inner Circle is beginning to slip. Whether by destiny or by chance, the fate of the Community now rests on the shoulders of the so-called “Prophet�; it’s up to Aspen to decide whether to embrace her newfound status, or refuse it.

Whatever path she chooses � there’s no turning back.]]>

<![CDATA[Apprentice to the Villain (Assistant to the Villain, #2)]]> 188563943
Evie Sage has never been happier to be the assistant to The Villain. Who would have thought that working for an outrageously handsome (shhh, bad for his brand) evil overlord would be so rewarding? Still, the business of being bad is demanding, the forces of good are annoyingly persistent, and said forbidding boss is somewhat� er, out-of-evil-office.

But Rennedawn is in grave trouble, and all signs—Kingsley’s included—point to catastrophe. Something peculiar is happening with the kingdom’s magic, and it’s made The Villain’s manor vulnerable to their enemies� including their nemesis, the king.

Now it’s time for Evie to face her greatest challenge: protecting The Villain’s lair, all of his nefarious works, and maybe (provided no one finds out) the entire kingdom. No pressure, Evie.

It’s time to step out of her comfort zone and learn new skills. Like treason. Dagger work. Conspiring with the enemy. It’s all so� so� delightfully fun.

But what happens when the assistant to The Villain is ready to become his apprentice?]]>

<![CDATA[Accomplice to the Villain (Assistant to the Villain, #3)]]> 188563996
Once Upon a Time meets The Office in Hannah Nicole Maehrer’s laugh-out-loud viral TikTok series turned novel, about the sunshine assistant to an Evil Villain…and their unexpected romance.

REWARD OFFERED: Apprentice to The Villain wanted for treason (light), magical property damage (alleged), and one incident involving a weaponized scone (accurate). Frequently seen with a grumpy frog (crowned, judgmental). Answers to “Evie� or “Stop that.�

Evie Sage didn’t mean to become the right-hand woman to the kingdom’s most terrifying villain. One minute, she was applying for an entry-level position that promised “light paperwork and occasional beheadings,� and the next, she was knee-deep in magical mayhem, murder plots, and an entirely inappropriate crush on her brooding, sharp-jawed, walking disaster of a boss.

Now, with a magical prophecy unraveling, assassins showing up in the break room, and a suspicious amount of frogs wearing crowns, Evie has to figure out how to survive her job without setting the kingdom on fire—or her dignity, which is hanging by a very sarcastic thread.

Being evil-adjacent was never part of the five-year plan. But then again…neither was falling for The Villain.

A magical office comedy with grumpy bosses, snarky frogs, and definitely-not-feelings.]]>

Synopses (includes spoilers in sequel descriptions):

THE AWAKENING
Three years ago, Aspen (as she calls herself), woke up in an abandoned cabin without a single memory. Forced to start her life from scratch and exist entirely off the grid, she’s led a lonely life, but a quiet one... Until now. Suddenly, strange things are happening all around her: phantom tornadoes, exploding fireplaces, massive sink holes � not to mention the strange man that's been following her everywhere she goes.

When Aspen audits a college class for a much-needed dose of normalcy, she’s shocked by the assistant professor’s cold disdain for her, and her alone. Their heated confrontation turns a corner when Aspen panics, accidentally shattering every bulb in the classroom. That’s when Aiden realizes what she is... but he's not the only one who’s been paying attention.
In her mission to discover who � and what � she is, Aspen must learn to control her powers, navigate her budding feelings for this new and mysterious ally, and, finally, discover the shocking truth about her past.


THE ENLIGHTENING
After narrowly escaping Savannah and her Asterian thugs, Aspen has finally unearthed a clue to her forgotten past: a small brass key and a handwritten note that says 'Start here'. With nothing but her resolve � and Aiden’s silver lighter � Aspen sets forth on a solo cross-country journey. But things begin to unravel quickly on the open road, and Aspen soon realizes that her biggest challenge on this trip won’t be making it to California in one piece, but keeping her growing powers in check.

Meanwhile, Aiden, on his own mission to find his sister, has gone radio silent. Though an old â€friendâ€� from Aspen’s past warns her not to go after him, she knows she has no choice. But their impromptu reunion has some unintended complications: ghosts from Aspen’s past come back to haunt her, painful secrets that Aiden has been harboring come to light, and deep-rooted family conflicts threaten to tear their bond apart.

Still, there’s a faint light at the end of the tunnel: Aspen now knows for certain that her mother is alive and being held prisoner. She and her friends just have to get there in time � and pray Savannah doesn’t catch them first.


THE CHRISTENING
It’s been two months since the Day of Enlightenment, the day a true Pentamancer emerged once more on the world stage after centuries of extinction. Under the protective arm of the Magistrate, Aspen has agreed to cooperate with the Inner Circle in hopes that her radical visions for the Elementalist community can be realized. On the surface, things are going well: she’s been traveling the world, rescuing cities from Terramantic temper tantrums, attending Elementalist conferences, and meeting powerful Asterian Officials around the globe.

And yet, in spite of (or perhaps, because of) Aspen’s tenuous alliance with the Magistrate, political divisions are simmering among his Prelates. Not everyone shares Aspen’s utopian vision, and the Magistrate’s grip on the Inner Circle is beginning to slip. Whether by destiny or by chance, the fate of the Community now rests on the shoulders of the so-called “Prophet�; it’s up to Aspen to decide whether to embrace her newfound status, or refuse it.
Whatever path she chooses � there’s no turning back.

THE RECKONING
Four years after the collapse of the Inner circle, the Asterian Order is functioning as Aspen and the late Magistrate envisioned; containment centers have been shut down, antiquated laws have been abolished, and free elections for a new Prime Minister are underway. In the meantime, Aspen and her fiancé, Aiden, have been enjoying their peaceful life out of the spotlight and away from the Order.

However, in the absence of containment and conviction, the line between freedom and secrecy has been blurred; amid the turmoil, a fresh wave of Elemental Supremacism is threatening to take hold of the Asterian Parliament. To combat this, Ori announces his bid to become Minister. If he loses, his radical opponent will be turning dangerous rhetoric into a stark reality that poses a direct threat to the entire human race.

While he and Aspen embark on a crucial political mission, Aiden, Eileen, and Sophia are joined by an old nemesis to carry out their own top-secret quest: scouring the globe for rogue Elementalists with extraordinary powers. If they succeed in recruiting these hundreds of Wilders to their cause, they’ll have a slew of newcomers to support Ori’s campaign. But if they fail, their adversary will have access to the greatest army of Elementalists the world has ever seen.

The stakes have never been higher for Aspen and her friends� and losing has never been more dangerous.

<![CDATA[Gossamer (The Golden Wolf, #3)]]> 213813617
Facing down the monsters of my past left me on the cusp of death, wounded and running from the one person I trusted with my life.

Havoc.

My chosen mate is consumed by a curse so powerful it overrides his natural desire to protect me.

I have no doubt he will kill me if he catches me.

To save us all, I must figure out my connection to the Norse gods, and claim my place in this world.

A journey like no other awaits, and I face it with my best friend at my side, and Havoc at my back.

As my tale (tail) comes to an end I feel the threads of fate weaving a new path I can only reach by making an impossible choice.

I must face not only the one who stands at the center of the darkness but Havoc as well.

Will the ties between us be enough to stay his hand?

I absolutely loved this series and all the Norse mythology, and I must admit I am a little sad to see it end. That said, this concluding book is perfect. Cin has always had a tough road to follow and we learn many new things about why. Trying to stop Ragnarok as she runs from her cursed love Havoc Cin has an epic challenge. All the action and suspense with a good dose of humor and a few zany characters will keep you reading.

In the land of Daglaar, there’s nothing the Nychterides distrust more than outsiders. Even Ariel, the general's daughter, can't escape her mother’s dragon heritage that brands her as one. But when her best friend and childhood protector tries to kill her, she’s sent to the land of the fae to live in isolation with her father’s ally.

Then four years later, she receives a mysterious letter, demanding her return.

Ariel quickly discovers the message that lured her home is just a symptom of the trouble brewing amongst her father’s army—and Hemming may be the only one she can turn to for help. But how is she supposed to trust the man who’s already turned against her once?

In a race against time to save her father, will her unsteady alliance be enough, or will the boy she once loved prove to be the greatest danger she’s about to face?

<![CDATA[Shadow Me (Immortal Vices and Virtues: Shadow Shifter Bonds #2)]]> 206208895 Once upon a time, I killed a god and stole his power. I’ve been paying for it ever since.

After my banishment, I promised myself three things. I would never take a mate. I would find a way to get rid of the power I stole. I would punish the gods who banished me. Not necessarily in that order.

There’s just one teeny, tiny little problem.

That power I hate? It’s a siren call to the ones who banished me, letting them know I’ve broken out of their prison. And that mate I don’t want? Well, he found me first, and he has no intention of letting me go anytime soon–even with his life on the line.

Trusting him breaks every one of my rules, but it might be the only way to save us both.

Shadow Me is a spicy standalone romantasy set in the Immortal Vices and Virtues Universe. Every book is a guaranteed happily ever after with a satisfying ending and no cliffhangers. Perfect for fans of Immortals After Dark, Black Dagger Brotherhood, and the Demonica series.]]>

Being the dud in my coven wasn’t a bad thing—until they decided to reevaluate our contributions. Without magic, I wielded a resting witch face and a smart mouth, but neither will save me on the next full moon. Having the last name Byrne could only get me so far.

I was doomed.

In my panic, I broke into the coven’s library, hoping to find a simple spell any idiot could do. Instead, I blew up half the building, destroyed the majority of the ancient texts, and ended up half naked in the office of the high priest.

I thought that was bad.

My stupidity unlocked the seals blocking my magic, and now I’m being hunted by every jerk in the supernatural world. With a price on my head, there’s only one option left if I am to survive:

Learn everything I can from the cursed book that caused my downfall.

Learn... or die trying.

My name is Hazel Byrne.
I am a witch.

You’d think he’d be into souls, not silk, right? But it could have something to do with my spastic magic.

My rogue powers were what got me into this mess. And now I was shackled with River Blackman.

In just a few hours, the arrogant male made me regret everything—including the day I was born. Unfortunately, my little fiasco with the fashion-munching demon came with a price, so I had to play nice with the high priest.

The problem?

River had secrets of his own. And if the skeletons in his closet were ever unleashed, we’d both wish we were dead.

As if I needed more help in the kick-bucket department.

Everyone trying to protect me thought I was about to go down. Hard.

When a spell goes wrong, there is no turning back, nor can you trade designer clothing to make things right. You gotta be kidding me.


That's ludicrous!


I’d trade my firstborn for a pair of Louboutin’s, but not everyone has class.


Everyone wants to jump to my rescue, but I’m having none of that. How about while I’m drowning in a proverbial creek, throw me an “f-ing� paddle or get out of my way.


I’ve got this.


Actually... I don’t. But I’ll find a way out of this mess.


My grandmother again conveniently forgot to share many secrets. With every new lie I discover a truth and in every truth I uncover more lies.


That’s fine.


With demons ready to devour me whole, Danika can wait in line. She will learn her lesson as soon as I claw my way out of this Hell.


Literally.

HIS MISSION: Lose Beer Belly. Find Perfect Woman. Save World.

The God of Wine has been partying for over ten thousand years, and New Year's Eve, when humans around the world succumb to his naturally occurring spike in powers, is his biggest night. Only this year, a plague is sweeping the immortal community, and he's turning downright evil (dear gods, what language!). All those New Year's bashes will turn into bloodbaths if he doesn't stop the transformation.

Sadly, the only known cure is finding a mate. Not so easy for a rude, beer-bellied mess who's definitely not husband material.

But can a little gym-time and help from the pros at Immortal Matchmakers, Inc. turn him into a divine sex-machine the ladies will want? Or will it take something more?

<![CDATA[MerMadmen (The Mermen Trilogy, #2)]]> 24958123 From New York Times Bestseller Mimi Jean Pamfiloff, Book #2 of the Mermen Trilogy

He never wanted this. He only wanted her.

EVERYTHING ABOUT THE ISLAND OF EL CORAZÓN IS WRONG. The men are ruthless warriors who call themselves mermen but don't have any fish parts, the island isn't exactly an island, and the women...well, let's just say their story isn't pretty. More like a nightmare. Which is exactly why billionaire Roen Doran will do anything to protect the woman he can't live without from that violent place. Including becoming the island's leader and giving her up forever.

WHEN LIV STRATTON ESCAPED THAT TERRIFYING ISLAND in the North Pacific after being shipwrecked, she didn't just leave behind the horror, she left behind Roen Doran. A man she didn't know, but who risked everything to save her. And now her heart can't seem to move on. So part of her wonders if it's somehow her fault she's been taken against her will and locked inside a ship bound for El CorazĂłn. But an even bigger part wonders if Roen will lift a finger to save her this time. After all, now he's one of them...]]>

Elle
I'm a strong girl. I stand up for myself. But no one else ever stood up for me before. At least, not until Forrester came along. He came out of nowhere, but already, I know I can count on him. From the moment I set eyes on him, I knew I would be his girl. He loves me for who I am, for what I can offer, and he's begging me to give him a baby so that his life can be complete and full of love.

Forrester
I was always one of those men who thought they didn’t deserve love. I thought it wasn’t for me. I could get girls in my bed, sure, but it never went anywhere. I was broken. Until I met Elle. She made me realize that I deserved true love after all. She changed my life. She healed me. And I would die for her now. If there’s one thing I am, it’s loyal. I’m so loyal to Elle I would give my life for her.

The seer's prophecy has come true. Ell-rom and his sister are safe, surrounded by people who care for them and want to help them heal, which is in stark contrast to where they came from. On Anumati, they were considered abominations because of their mixed heritage. As half gods and half Kra-ell, they would have been eradicated if ever discovered.

But even as he clings to that thought like a talisman against the darkness, he can't shake the lingering sense of unease, the feeling that something lurked in the shadows of his past, something dark and dangerous that is much worse than his inability to tolerate the taste of blood.

What is it about him and his sister that he is not supposed to let anyone see?]]>

Iron Flame (The Empyrean, #2) 90202302 “The first year is when some of us lose our lives. The second year is when the rest of us lose our humanity.� —Xaden Riorson

Everyone expected Violet Sorrengail to die during her first year at Basgiath War College—Violet included. But Threshing was only the first impossible test meant to weed out the weak-willed, the unworthy, and the unlucky.

Now the real training begins, and Violet’s already wondering how she’ll get through. It’s not just that it’s grueling and maliciously brutal, or even that it’s designed to stretch the riders� capacity for pain beyond endurance. It’s the new vice commandant, who’s made it his personal mission to teach Violet exactly how powerless she is–unless she betrays the man she loves.

Although Violet’s body might be weaker and frailer than everyone else’s, she still has her wits—and a will of iron. And leadership is forgetting the most important lesson Basgiath has taught her: Dragon riders make their own rules.

But a determination to survive won’t be enough this year.

Because Violet knows the real secret hidden for centuries at Basgiath War College—and nothing, not even dragon fire, may be enough to save them in the end.]]>

Twenty-year-old Violet Sorrengail was supposed to enter the Scribe Quadrant, living a quiet life among books and history. Now, the commanding general—also known as her tough-as-talons mother—has ordered Violet to join the hundreds of candidates striving to become the elite of Navarre: dragon riders.

But when you’re smaller than everyone else and your body is brittle, death is only a heartbeat away...because dragons don’t bond to “fragile� humans. They incinerate them.

With fewer dragons willing to bond than cadets, most would kill Violet to better their own chances of success. The rest would kill her just for being her mother’s daughter—like Xaden Riorson, the most powerful and ruthless wingleader in the Riders Quadrant.

She’ll need every edge her wits can give her just to see the next sunrise.

Yet, with every day that passes, the war outside grows more deadly, the kingdom's protective wards are failing, and the death toll continues to rise. Even worse, Violet begins to suspect leadership is hiding a terrible secret.

Friends, enemies, lovers. Everyone at Basgiath War College has an agenda—because once you enter, there are only two ways out: graduate or die]]>

<![CDATA[The Defiant Magician (Unstoppable Liv Beaufont, #3)]]> 44231811
When the Council suddenly starts assigning Liv Beaufont dangerous cases, she’s automatically suspicious.

Do they want her dead?

However, she isn’t deterred when they assign her a case that no one would dare to go near. Even though Clark is worried for her, she won’t back down.

Liv is determined to prove that she’s a capable and strong Warrior.

She’s uncertain about is what’s hiding in the library. Decoding the ancient language of the Founders will take time. But the clues are adding up and Liv can’t ignore that more than just magicians are affected by this mystery.

It’s big. Much bigger than she thought. And more importantly, it’s dangerous. 

Is it worth it to risk everything in the name of justice? ​]]>

<![CDATA[The Rebellious Sister (Unstoppable Liv Beaufont, #1)]]> 43804323 Olivia Beaufont likes fixing things and keeping to herself. She’s simple like that—but her life is about to drastically change.

Liv is a rebel with royal blood who abdicated her birthright. A string of murders changes everything and the House of Seven asks her to take on a role as a Warrior, one of seven positions revered for protecting magic.

Although Liv would rather stay out of the politics and conspiracies that she ran away from years ago, her family needs her. It’s only a twelve-year stint until her sister, the next in line, can take over.

So, what’s the harm in activating her magic and accepting her place as a warrior?

Everything.

Justice hasn’t been properly served by the House of Seven in a long time.

Not until now.

<![CDATA[Pack Refuge (The Splintered Bond, #2)]]> 215006016 There’s no refuge for the rejected.

My new pack was supposed to be a haven, a place where the unranked are treated fairly. But when I arrive at Northern still wearing a tag that declares my low status, I find myself in a worse situation than before. Hunted, but not knowing where to hide or how to escape. Ignored by the pack who vowed to protect me. Rejected by a wolf who might have been my fated mate.
My only refuge is in the arms of the quiet, massive shifter from the Mountain pack, though the other Alpha Heirs keep snagging my attention as I train for my ranking fight. When that day finally arrives and everything goes wrong, I'll discover just how dangerous the Northern pack can be.

I was promised a refuge. But once a reject? Always a reject.

Pack Refuge is the second book in The Splintered Bond series, featuring a fierce, strong Southern shifter who will not have to choose one mate... if she chooses any at all. You must read Pack Reject first to follow Flor's adventures.]]>

<![CDATA[Pack Reject (The Splintered Bond, #1)]]> 213443987 I’m the pack reject. The prey.

For years, I've kept myself safe from my small pack's males, hiding in sewers and sleeping in trees to keep their teeth out of my neck. They don’t really want me, just the power and prestige that comes with winning the Hunt. I only want to survive.

In three days, at the Enforcer Games, I'll have one chance to escape. But when the Games begin, and the most powerful shifters in the world arrive at my packlands and scent me, a new Hunt begins.

They’re the princes of our world. And they're willing to break the rules to get me.

Pack Reject is the first book in a new paranormal wolf shifter series from Amazon Top 50 and Vella-bestselling author Merri Bright. Fated mates who are driven to reject each other, powerful enemies in unlikely places, and a fierce heroine who will change the world... if she can survive the Hunt.

Please read the content advisories in the Author's Note. This is a slow burn series where the heroine will not have to choose one mate, if she chooses any at all.

<![CDATA[Quest of Stone (Transfusion Book 14)]]> 156601326 I never expected to find what I did.
It wasn’t only the time-period the Fates got wrong,
It was the husband I found there waiting for me.

A man of regal yet deadly grace,
And one that wanted to possess me.
To make me his in every way possible.
But that was going to be a problem,
Especially when I had a mission to complete.

So, despite not being there to fall in love,
It becomes inevitable when meeting your soul mate,
Even when it’s for the second time.
Yet when possession turns to obsession,
Things take a turn for the worse,
As now the mission is no longer just about
Releasing Wraiths from their prison,
It is also about releasing my mother from her own.
And her jailor�
My father.

A mission that gets even more complicated
When running means escaping not one,
But two Kings of the past.
Meaning the hunt is on and the race for
Our own Happy Ever Afterlife continues.

Leaving me with only one question left,
Will Love conquer all, in this�

Quest of Stone?

<![CDATA[A Cage of Crimson (Deliciously Dark Fairytales, #5)]]> 213072197 Of all the people in the world, why her?

It was supposed to be find the drug maker. Find her, and drag her back to the dragons to deal with. She deserves death for what she's done.

For someone like Weston, the best alpha in the world, the one who shuts people up just by walking in the room, it would've been.

Until he learns what she is�

Finding a fated mate is nearly impossible. Very few are able to do it. But the call of their bond is unmistakable. Against all odds, and in the worst situation imaginable, he's found his true mate. Her.

Worse? If there could be anything worse than a true mate that has brought the world to its knees - she doesn't seem to realize what she is. Her animal is suppressed. Locked away, leaving her nearly without magic. She doesn't know what the feeling is, and she doesn't care. She claims innocence. She thinks he's the villain in this story, and she aims to kill him before he destroys her.

It doesn't change his duty. He must bring her in, nature be damned. Regardless of how much it hurts, he'll resist the sweet taste of her lips and the heaven between her thighs. She must pay for what she's done.

He just hopes he doesn't die inside for the part he's forced to play in the destruction of his true mate.


This is a dark and very spicy Red Riding Hood retelling in the Ruin World featuring an anti-hero, a strong heroine, and a humorous supporting cast. It is not necessary to have read the Ruin series to enjoy this installment.]]>

<![CDATA[Hole in One (A Piper Harris Mystery, Volume 5)]]> 203858579
Well, in their own whip-out-your-weapons-at-every-opportunity kind of way.

They’re part of the retirement complex in Bitter End, Florida, where they hate mostly everything: the climate, the jolly residents, the endless partying and competitive games—like the current mini-golf tournament that’s costing Piper and Gran their last nerve—and the practically forced socializing.

Still, Piper has gotten an official approval from the director of the retirement complex to live with Gran. Open-ended. Yikes.

But when one of the investors of the retirement complex is murdered and someone has been embezzling funds from the complex, suspicion falls on the director, Samuel Appleby. Too bad he bails as soon as the police need to question him.

Piper realizes that her living with Gran—still the best of the worst options—depends on Samuel Appleby’s position as director. She more or less believes he’s innocent, but she needs to prove it too, or else she and everybody else can say goodbye to the good times at the Till the Bitter End Independent Living complex.

With the help of Gran and Edie, their quirky, annoying, adorable, and feisty neighbor, Piper sets out to clear the goofy director while trying hard not to lose at the mini-golf tournament that won’t stop, not even for murder and embezzlement.

Hole in One is perfect for fans of Janet Evanovich, Jana DeLeon, Gemma Halliday, Liliana Hart, and JB Lynn.]]>

<![CDATA[Devoured by Monsters (Dark Temptations, #2)]]> 61139248
After an attempt on my life, I find myself saved by an unlikely ally. Injured, confused, and faced with emotions I don’t know how to deal with, I hunker down in a monster’s safe house.

But I refuse to stay hidden.

With threats coming at us from all angles, I must learn to put my trust in the very monsters I swore to hate.

The Grotesque. The Creeper.

And then, I realize I must save the monsters who hurt and betrayed me.

The Devourer.

And unfortunately, the Empty Man.

Because something is stirring inside of me.

Something that tells me that maybe I’m not just a pet for these dangerous, malicious beasts.

I think a part of me wants to be devoured by the monsters.


This is a reverse harem romance with protective, possessive, psychotic monsters and the female they all love. If you like your men a little deranged and one hundred percent monstrous, your female a badass, and panty-melting heat, then this is the book for you. The things these monsters can do with their tongues…and claws…and horns…and tails…]]>

<![CDATA[Ravaged by Monsters (Dark Temptations, #1)]]> 59738904 Monsters own the world. And now, they own me.

There are two roles for a human—either you’re a monster’s pet or you’re dead.

When I’m ripped from my family and the resistance at the age of eighteen, I think my life is over.

One second, I’m fighting against the monsters who enslaved us for years, and the next, I’m on a stage, waiting to be bid on by the very beasts I hunted and killed.

Everything changes when I’m bought by four of the most terrifying monsters in all of existence and the kings of our world—The Four Terrors.

The Empty Man, who has no corporeal body of his own. As such, he possesses everything and everyone within his sights. He’s the light that flickers, the doll that speaks, the sink that bubbles over.

The Grotesque, someone I’ve never seen with my own two eyes before. Rumor has it, if you set sight upon his face, you’ll die a horrible and painful death. But he whispers to me, his seductive voice promising of all the sinful things he plans to do with me—and to me—if I open myself up.

The Devourer, who needs to feast on human flesh to survive. He has claws for hands, horns erupting from his head, and bright red eyes that lure me in.

And finally, The Creeper, who travels through portals in closets—the definition of the monster in the closet. Sometimes, he’ll sit in my room, a silent shadow, watching me. Wanting me.

I’m nothing but a pet to these dangerous, malicious beasts. But maybe�

Maybe I want to be ravaged by the monsters.

This is a reverse harem romance with protective, possessive, psychotic monsters and the female they all love. If you like your men a little deranged and one hundred percent monstrous, your female a badass, and panty-melting heat, then this is the book for you.
