The devil craves my soul. It calls to him like the scent of fresh blood.
I am not afraid.
The night of summer solstice, I do something stupid. Drawn to the fire of magic, I approach the gods in their sacred circle. I am just a mortal, one of many. I shouldn’t merit their attention.
But behind the royal figures of the gods a shadow looms, menacing yellow eyes burning in its gloom. He asks me to dance. His clawed hands circle my waist, turning me to the sound of hoofbeats while his demonic voice whispers seductive lies in my ear. For one night, and one night only, I let him touch me.
When it’s morning and gods return to their shrines, he stays. His bloodthirsty shadow follows me, a dark cloak hiding me from the sun and the light of hope. Where I walk, flowers wither and children sicken, touched by his suffocating darkness.
The harder I chase him away, the more he enshrouds me in his powerful presence, his claws trapping my body, his will reaching for my soul.
He takes away my tribe and poisons my life, trying to break me so I take his deal. But the devil is in for a surprise.
I may give him my body, but I’ll never break. With nothing to lose, I am ready to fight.

How far would you go to survive?
Everyone knows demons are evil. They’re vicious monsters hungry for your blood, body and soul.
All I knew, was that I couldn’t survive another day on the run.
Betrayed by my coven, I teetered on the edge of ruin, caught in the crosshairs of the bloodthirsty cult who murdered my family.
But I had a crazy plan to save my life. Too bad it would probably cost me my soul.
Out of time and out of options, I’m forced to summon a wicked demon for protection—a sin-soaked king with a devilish smirk and hunger in his glowing eyes.
Salvation and damnation entwine as we strike a deal. But the path to freedom is paved with desire and darkness.
Can I defeat the evil hunting me? Or will the monster I summoned devour me first?

Do you know what a powerful Assassin doesn't need? Mates.
I knew exactly what I wanted and needed from life, and the Assassin's Guild gave me that. Now, with my biggest assignment yet, I'm faced with a complication I may not be able to overcome, MY MATES.
To complete my mission and kill my target, I have to work with a group of men that come with more problems than I want to deal with, least of all being my undeniable pull of all five of them.
Will I be able to make it through the dangerous creature, unrelenting traps, and my mates' own families to the Keep to slay the Dragon and finish this quest, or will we all be killed before we make it? Worse, if we do make it ... will I be able to keep my heart to myself or will I leave this assignment with more treasure than a massive payout?

One princess, three sexy protectors, one king that wants to kill them all.
Lyla was blending into the mortal world, just as her mother requested. No one knew she existed, let alone that she was the next heir to the Seelie court. Keeping her hidden is the Queen’s top priority.
When the Seelie court is attacked and the Queen is in danger, Lyla can’t stay hidden anymore. She must save her mother, even if it means she’ll be hunted herself.

After years of working in the Emergency Department, Sara thought nothing could surprise her, but when the deceased victim of a stabbing opened his eyes and demanded his knife back, she knew her life had taken a bizarre turn.
Leszek had guarded the magic of the Nether before the first human set foot in his lands. His power was absolute, his authority unchallenged. The world might change, but even ruling from the shadow, no one, not even hardened criminals, dared to question his judgment.
When he was called to clean up the mess an unruly vampire caused in the hospital, Leszek barely contained his irritation when his power couldn’t make the stubborn doctor forget his existence. Instead, she looked him in the eye, challenging him to leave, and he listened.
