Their affair is the main attraction…and the distraction a killer has waited for.

Magdalena Aragon never thought she'd answer the summons of a father she's never known. The world-famous, many-times-married matador has provided everything she needs–except his time. There's only one reason she packs her bags for Spain: what her psychologist calls "closure". 

Certain she won't be staying long, Maggie escapes from the craziness of her newly discovered, fractured family to indulge in a red-hot fling. After all, Rafael is the last man she could ever love. Her heart has other ideas.

The heat from their affair captures the attention of the wrong people–the tabloids, and someone who has a twisted sense of honor. By the time Rafael realizes Maggie is the real target, it could be too late to save her.

Product Warnings: Hot sex, dangerous secrets, men who challenge death for sport.

Love has never been so close–or seemed so far away.

I love you. Niall is in hiding, but not from the police. He's trapped between the world he longs for and a place he can't leave behind. Cursed to hold his tongue, unable to claim what he wants until it's given, he's allowed one year to capture his heart's desire. But speaking those three simple words, the most important words in his life, might very well kill him.

Product Warnings: Beware faeries with killer tattoos and girls dressed as chickens–broken hearts can follow… Or lots of love. And lots of sex–three-way, two-way, every which way. But no chicken sex. Thank god.

It's not nice to mess with a goddess. She'll change your life–whether you like it or not.

When Ciara Callahan goes to New Orleans to celebrate her divorce, she expects to get drunk and let her hair down a little. Waking up naked in a strange hotel room complete with a strange man singing in the shower–and the new tattoo on her wrist–definitely wasn't part of the plan.

There's only one solution: find her. And convince her their meeting wasn't mere chance–it's a once-in-a-millennium chance to free him from a goddess's curse. And seal them together for the adventure of a lifetime.

Two men, too many monsters.

Raised off the grid, Cash has trained all his life to protect humanity from The Shift–a mysterious force that creates monsters capable of unspeakable destruction. For Cash and his warrior family, risks are just part of the job and death is an ever-present possibility.

On the run with danger nipping at their heels, romantic sparks fly between them. But there's no trust without truth, and things get complicated when Toby reveals everything Cash has fought against is a lie. The time has come to decide who's the real monster–and whose side he's on.

He's found the woman of his dreams–in the midst of his worst nightmare.

Carlotta Phelps never considered herself special, except for a peculiar ability to control the course of her dreams. Other than being a handy cure for nightmares, it's a pretty worthless talent. Until she's recruited for the One Hundred, a team of lucid dreamers whose combined visualizations have been proven to affect reality. 

Then he learns that his charge, who practically lives in lacy negligees, wields an awesome power–and an even bigger responsibility. She and her kind are being hunted by an enemy he can't even identify, against which all his skill with weaponry is useless. If he can't find a way to protect her, the world is as doomed as the heart he's already lost.

Librarian Eden Fairfax knows exactly where to find books about survival. None of them mentioned how to manage in the aftermath of a worldwide epidemic–with two young orphans in tow.
