I was never supposed to fall for Luca Moretti. He was cold. Untouchable. Dangerous. And after our parents brought our families together, he became the one man I was forbidden to want. Luca made it clear from the beginning that I meant nothing to him. He pushed me away, warned me to stay out of his life, and looked at me like every feeling between us was a mistake. So why was he always there when I needed him? Why did his cold eyes soften only when he looked at me? And why did it feel like he was fighting something inside himself every time we were alone? I tried to stay away. I really did. But the closer I got to Luca, the more secrets I uncovered. His mother was hiding something. His past was darker than anyone knew. And the family that brought us together wasn’t built on the truth. Then I discovered the one secret that changed everything. Luca was never who I thought he was. The man I was told I could never love was hiding a past that could destroy us both. And if the truth comes out, our forbidden obsession won’t be the only thing that falls apart. Because sometimes the most dangerous love story begins with a family lie.

I died with poison burning in my throat and my husband's knife at my neck. Edward Blackwood married me for my father's money. He held me through nightmares, called me sweetheart, and let me risk my life for his mother's medicine while she faked her fever. Then he tore my father's necklace from my neck and watched me die. But his betrayal wasn't the worst thing I saw that day. Minutes earlier, I watched General Adrik Hale, the man who told the whole country to stay calm, shot in an alley. His killer's last words still echo in my ears: "Project Chimera was never destroyed." Then I woke up in my wedding dress, exactly 365 days before the world ended. This time, I said "I do not" at the altar. I slapped the man who murdered me. I walked out beside my family, and I swore I would keep every one of them alive. Then a military convoy pulled up outside the church. And the man who stepped out of the lead van was General Adrik Hale. Alive. Asking my father for land. Looking at me like he knew exactly who I was. I have one year to stop a conspiracy, save the people I love, and survive the end of the world. And the only man who can help me is the one I watched die.

Can it be that you really don’t know—don’t see—how stunningly, incredibly gorgeous you are?" Sara shifted uncomfortably. "Could we get back to discussing a color scheme for your sitting room—?" "Let’s see." Simon chose to ignore her change of subject as he looked across at her consideringly. "Your hair is the color of midnight—black with a blue sheen—and your eyes—oh, God. I could talk about your eyes all night! They have such a beautiful color. Hot—" "Simon—" "I could happily drown in them," he continued remorselessly. "And your skin is as pale and unflawed as alabaster. And your mouth!" His voice darkened smokily.

She buried her child. Then she found out her husband killed him. What Vita uncovers will shatter everything she thought she knew. Her husband, Dominic Salucci, head of the Chicago Syndicate, has been poisoning her for years, not to kill her, but to make sure her bloodline never threatens his. And the woman helping him do it is sleeping under her own roof: her cousin, her closest friend, Elena. Vita doesn't cry. She plans. But revenge comes with a price: falling for the one man dangerous enough to help her take it all. Some marriages end in divorce. Hers is going to end in blood.

"Sign it," he said. "Talia needs me in a way you never will." Five years of marriage ended with a folder on the kitchen counter, one day after Olivia caught her husband with his first love in an unfinished hotel suite—and heard him blame her for walking in on it. It wasn't the papers that broke her. It was that he said it like a fact, and didn't even flinch when the pen trembled in her hand. Olivia Winslow walked out with three suitcases and a phone that never rang. She'd given Damian Sterling five years of patience and silent devotion—traded for a woman who came back from Paris claiming to be dying, and never had to raise her voice to take it all. What Damian didn't know: she left pregnant. Twins. His twins. And she never told him. Five years later, he walks into a Milan exhibition hall as a favor to a friend—and finds his ex-wife standing beside two children with his exact eyes. He has a fortune, a name, and a company built to get him anything he wants. Only this time, there are two more heartbeats standing between them—and the second chance isn't his to ask for.

“He bit you,” "I know he bit me." she jerked back as Zack put his hand on her forehead. "Answer my question, Zack. Where's Silas? He told me that he loved me,” she whimpered, her breath hitching painfully in her chest. “I believed him and I trusted him like an idiot... and yet he hurt me this way. I hate him,” Zack closed his eyes and swallowed the lump in his throat, “You might not hate him as much when this phase is over and you finally understand why he did what he did,” Amara pulled back, “I will never understand,” she said bitterly. “And I will never, ever forgive him.” —------ Amara Rhodes has just returned to Oakhaven after being away for two years, and the town is nothing like she remembers…Nothing like the town she left behind. On the surface, nothing seems to have changed, but beneath it, strange things are happening. People are disappearing in the woods. Dead bodies are turning up in the city. The people Amara once knew and trusted—from her own cousin to the ex who broke her heart—are keeping secrets that defy reality, and the dangerously handsome firefighter who saved her pride the day they met might be the most lethal monster of them all. Amara wants nothing more than to run from it all, but somehow she finds herself trapped in the middle of a war she didn't know existed, swept into a deadly feud between a pack of werewolves and their enemies who seek to destroy them, and now survival means playing a game where the rules are written in blood. Getting away doesn't seem like an option anymore. Not when she has fallen in love with the monster she wants to get away from.

Aidan is a grim reaper who takes pride in his absolute precision-until he is assigned to guide the soul of Alia, a young woman marked for immediate collection.

Faced with a bureaucratic anomaly that shouldn't exist, Aidan is forced to stay anchored to the mortal realm to investigate the mystery behind her borrowed time. Disguised as a human, he keeps a close, watchful eye on Alia to find the cause of the temporal delay, only to find himself entangled in the very life he was sent to end.

“At least you could tell me your name,” she said. He was quiet for a long moment, then said, “Aleron Dravenhart.” Aleron Dravenhart? What an ancient sounding name, she thought. “I’m Seraphine. Seraphine Clarke.” She held her hand out toward him and waited patiently for him to take it. When he finally did, and his skin met hers, Seraphine felt a jolt of something she couldn’t identify pass between them. He felt it, too. She saw the flash of surprise in his eyes before he had the chance to disguise it. And somehow, it made her feel better to know that he was no happier about that flash than she was. Her body was awakening to sensations she’d blocked for five years. And the raw ache within threatened to bring her to her knees. She stood up and backed away, as if distance from this mysterious man could make everything she’d felt drain away. It didn’t help. _______ When Seraphine Clarke found a man passed out in her front yard one morning, she had no idea how offering to help him would change her life. She'd helped him. Invited her into her home. But what she didn't know was that she'd invited danger into her life as well, and life as she knew and understood it was about to change. She'd introduced herself into the world of magic, witches, danger, blood and more importantly, vampires. ... What happens when she falls in love with one?
