The Fated Series: Fighting Fate

Mackenzie Madden

Nineteen-year-old Anna has been an outcast her entire life, and neither her parents nor her pack want anything to do with her.

Snowstorm in Vermont

Snowstorm in Vermont

Beetee

I only meant to give myself an evening out. A chance to enjoy myself a little since my marriage had ended two years before. I never imagined I’d bump into my old boss…or that he’d look so good. The snowstorm is a great excuse to cuddle up together by the fireplace, but the heat between us has nothing to do with the flames.

The Sapphire Queen

The Sapphire Queen

Silver Taurus

The Princess of the Sapphire Eyes, Amilia Vlad, is avoiding the Kings and Queens Ball, where all unmated vampires are sure to find a mate. No one knows she already has a mate, or had, because the truth is, she killed him. The reason why is a secret she has locked deep in her heart because it is too traumatizing to admit. But when her father forces her to attend the ball, she meets Vladimir Karatza, King of All Vampires, and their attraction is undeniable. He instantly claims her as his mate, but Amelia is resistant, her secrets and pain causing her monster inside to appear and drive a wedge between anyone who tries to get close. But Vladimir is determined to do anything so he can conquer her hardened heart, that is until her secrets lead him deeper into danger and reveal a past he knew nothing of, one that lays bear the power behind Amilia’s captivating sapphire eyes that, like her, he can’t resist.

Forbidden Men Spin-off: Every Time my Heart Breaks

Forbidden Men Spin-off: Every Time my Heart Breaks

Linda Kage

How do you make yourself fall in love with someone?

After his family friend, Chloe Ryan, is traumatized by a disturbed ex-boyfriend, Luke Hamilton is "encouraged" to step up and be the kind of partner she needs. Problem is, he's never been in love before. He's not one to give up on much of anything, though. His stubborn, competitive nature, mixed with the dutiful loyalty he inherited from his parents, makes it impossible for him to say no. And romancing Chloe becomes priority number one.

But his feisty contender gives him the challenge of a lifetime when she'd rather argue with him than accept a simple compliment. Chloe demands honest, genuine feelings from someone before she'll even think about opening her heart again, and since Luke refuses to back down from his determined quest, he decides to grow some feelings.

Except, uh, yeah? That's easier said than done since he has no idea how to even begin the process of falling.


Chloe is a simple woman with simple wants. All she'd like is to work her job, find a partner to share her life with, and then grow a family with him.

But apparently, that's just too much to ask for. After her ex kidnaps and terrorizes her, Chloe is suddenly put on six weeks of leave from her job to recover, she can't handle it when anyone touches her to even consider dating again, and her big dream of the simple life seems more impossible to reach than ever.

Until Luke bulldozes his way into the picture, determined to help her through her rough patch and promising her everything she's ever wanted.

The problem is Chloe loved Luke way back when she was young, and no one's ever broken her heart the way he did when he didn't even notice her in return. No way is she going to risk more heartbreak at his hands now. And so Chloe becomes just as determined to push him away as he is to stick by her side.

The Devil's Daughter

The Devil's Daughter

Ophelia Bell

I never imagined myself as a pawn in a dangerous game between two crime lords. But that was before I discovered I’m secretly one of their daughters, and suddenly I’m not just a girl, but an asset in need of protecting.

At least two of my new guard dogs are Ben and Baz, a pair of twins I grew up with—and wow, have they grown. Not only do they handle security for Drake Stavros—the sexy, haunted billionaire whose tower I’m forced to occupy for the duration of this cartel blood feud–but they’ve gotten hotter too, brooding sentinels covered in muscles and tattoos.

Drake is supposed to be using his near-limitless resources to keep me safe, with the twins there to make sure he follows through. But I’m beginning to realize the danger I’m in isn’t limited to the world outside as desires darker than my criminal bloodlines awaken within me, threatening to undo us all.

Author’s Note: “The Devil’s Daughter” is a reverse-harem romance.
