How do you rent a room from a ghost without even knowing it?

This year was supposed to be different because Oaklynn had a plan.

Stop partying.

Stay away from guys.

Focus on classes.

Graduate!

All she needed to do was find a place to stay near campus, and she’d be set. But when she finds the perfect room to rent, it brings the mysterious Damien into her life.

Her friend tries to warn her that he’s dangerous. He has secrets and darkness in his eyes. But the only danger Oaklynn can tell that he poses is to her attention. He’s all she can think about. Except, he’s hiding something, and when the truth comes out that her new roommate was murdered…a decade ago…nothing will ever be the same again.

So yeah, this year will definitely be different.

Let your hair down, Caroline, they said. It'll be fun, they said.

I know I've closed myself off in a major way in the past year, ever since “the incident” where I messed up my life completely. It's past time I try to live again or just give up completely. But this is quite possibly the craziest thing I've ever done. In a last ditch effort to invigorate myself, I'm standing outside Oren Tenning's bedroom, I just peeled off the sexiest pair of underwear I own, and my hand is already raised to knock. My brother would disown me for doing anything with his best friend, and he'd probably kill Oren. But if I play my cards right, no one will ever know about this. Not even Ten.

Maybe after tonight, I’ll finally get over this stupid, irrational crush I hate having on the biggest jerk I’ve ever met. Or maybe I’ll just end up falling for him even harder. Maybe I’ll discover there’s so much more to my crude, carefree hunk than meets the eye.

I used to think everything was black and white, truth or lie, easy or hard, that if I could just escape my strict, overbearing, abusive father, my life would be perfect. But since I’ve found a reason to risk his wrath and leave, to help a friend in need, I’ve come to realize everything I thought I knew is wrong.

Friends have their own agenda, honesty comes with a dosage of lie, easy doesn’t even exist, keeping secrets sucks, and love...love is the most painful thing of all.

Maybe if Quinn Hamilton hadn’t asked me to skip classes for the day and help him pick out an engagement ring for my best friend, I wouldn’t have fallen for him so completely on that sunny Tuesday afternoon and I wouldn’t feel so conflicted. But I did, and I can’t take it back, no matter how hard I try. So I have to deal with the fact that even I’m not as good, or honest, or caring as I’d always thought I was, and no matter what I do next, someone’s going to get hurt. Probably me.

Junior in college. Star athlete. Constant attention from the opposite sex.

On this campus, I’m worshiped. While seven hundred miles away, back in my hometown, I’m still trailer park trash, child of the town tramp, and older sibling to three kids who are counting on me to keep my shit together so I can take them away from the same crappy life I grew up in.

These two opposing sides of myself never mix until one person gets a glimpse of the true me. I never expected to connect with anyone like this or want more beyond one night. This may be the real deal.

Problem is Dr. Kavanagh’s my literature professor.

If I start anything with a teacher and we’re caught together, I might as well kiss my entire future goodbye, as well as my family’s and especially Dr. Kavanagh’s. Except sometimes love is worth risking everything. Or at least, it damn well better be, because I can only resist so much.

I fear the big aliens more than anything—yet now I’m stuck with one. He’s cold and unreadable… but there’s something about him that pulls me in.

She’s the crew’s go-to fixer—the fearless one who always handles the hard stuff. At least, that’s what everyone thinks. But behind the tough act is a woman running from her past… and her biggest fear: the towering, horned Zohra aliens. Staying near them? Her worst nightmare. But when the mission demands it, she doesn’t walk away. She dives in—even when it means infiltrating a dangerous lab from her hometown and teaming up with Harwal, a Zohra who’s as unreadable as he is infuriating. He terrifies her. He tempts her. And surviving this mission will mean facing both the enemy outside and the fear inside. Some monsters chase you. Others make you want to chase them right back.

I was sent to tame him. Instead, I’m on the run with a useless lump. Leaving him behind would be easy—he’s useless, after all. So why can’t I do it?

Tame a towering, silent alien who’s supposed to be more weapon than man. But when things go sideways, she doesn’t just ditch the mission—she grabs his hand and runs. He’s frustrating. Uncooperative. Completely useless in a fight. And yet… leaving him behind feels impossible. Now they’re tangled together, outnumbered and on the run, with nothing but bad odds and worse decisions ahead. Freedom was the goal. But is freedom enough when your heart won’t play along?

Fierce yet protective, distant yet impossibly gentle, he is a contradiction I can’t resist. I should fear him, and part of me still wants to resist, but in his presence, I find the warmth and care I thought I lost forever. Despite everything, Karshok might be the salvation I never thought I’d find. But what will that salvation cost me?

Seven innocent humans are snatched from their homes. Imprisoned in a spacecraft hurtling into the unknown, they must work together to fight their way back to Earth. But their alien captors are huge, brilliant and fiercely determined to possess them as their mates.
