Hell hath no fury like a ticked-off dragon’s mate… Ysolde de Bouchier has a lot on her plate, which isn’t unusual considering her Light Dragon mate Baltic is still at odds with just about everyone, starting with his former guard Thala and her outlaw posse, right down to his dragon god father. Ysolde herself fairs no better, since the First Dragon has her in his sights as well, demanding that she right past wrongs…and her time to do that is quickly running out. With the help of her green and silver dragon friends, Ysolde sets into motion an elaborate plan that will have repercussions throughout the mortal and immortal worlds. But when a member of her family is held hostage, no one is safe from the fire of her rage, not even the creator of the dragon race. The third book in the Light Dragons series, SOMETHING DRAGON THIS WAY COMES continues where the Green and Silver Dragon series left off. NOTE: This book was originally titled SPARKS FLY.

There, rumors of a haunted forest draw Io into the dark woods—and to her complete stupefaction, into the eighteenth century… Nikola Czerny is a cursed man, forced to live forever as a Dark One. But his miserable existence takes an interesting turn when a strange, intriguing woman is literally thrown into his path. More confusing, Io claims to know Nikola’s daughter—three hundred years in the future. She also knows what fate—in the form of a murderous plan—has in store for him. If only she knew the consequences of changing the past to save one good, impossibly sexy vampire…

A man so gorgeous herds of thong-wearing women flock to him, a woman who has no intentions of putting up with his shenanigans, and a teen who brings new meaning to the word eccentric...welcome to the Billionaire Marriage Club. Bela Turner is a former teacher fallen on hard times. Now she’s working loss prevention at a department store where she’s a hair’s breadth away from losing even that job. But when a fourteen year old named Catarina storms into her life trailing chaos, Bela thinks things couldn’t get worse…until she meets Izán, Cat’s drop-dead gorgeous Spanish father. Now he’s all Bela can think about, which is problematic considering women are all but dripping off him. Izán is the only child of an eccentric Spanish family, one that desperately wants to see him remarried. Izán is no fool, however, and one bad arranged marriage was enough for him. But recently, it’s become clear that his daughter Cat desperately needs more than the companions, tutors, and coaches he provides, and instead, starts thinking of finding a nice maternal woman who can help him take Cat''s chaotic life in hand. Izán is completely unprepared by his instant desire for the delectable woman who involves him with one of Cat’s crazy plans, but he recognizes that Bela isn’t like the other women who flock to him. While he’s perfectly comfortable with the idea of their instant attraction, Bela doesn’t seem to be of the same mind...which is a problem considering she has become integral in his life, and without her, he would forever regret what could have been. Now Izán and Cat must convince Bela that her life will be infinitely improved by joining their family…even with her weird taxidermied animal collection. Cherish is the third book in a series of instalove romcoms, and is written by New York Times bestselling author Katie MacAlister using a super secret pen name. Shhh. It’ll be our secret.

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a vampire without a soul must be in want of a wife…unless your ideal women wallows in the sunlight, can speak to houses, and is tangled in peril so great it might just destroy them both. Paen Scott is a Dark One: a vampire without a soul. And his mother is about to lose hers too if Paen can’t repay a debt to a demon by finding a relic known as the Jilin God in five days. Half-elf Samantha Cosse may have gotten kicked out of the Order of Diviners, but she’s still good at finding things, talking to houses, and powering up in sunlight…which Paen can’t tolerate at all. And while her delicious Dark One is the only man to set her elf senses tingling, chances for a happy future looks nonexistent. Although Sam is convinced that she is Paen’s Beloved—the woman who can give him back his soul—fate doesn’t seem to want them together, throwing them into a dire situation that threatens more than just their loved ones. With a jealous monkey god trying to destroy Sam, will Paen realize his world would be bleak without the Sam in time to save them both…or will tragedy be the only way through to their happiness?

When the demigod who created hell runs across the woman leading the opposition, you’d think sparks would fly…and you’d be right. But tangled up in their centuries’ long love story is a threat that rises to destroy them both…and their child, a demon in Newfoundland dog form named Jim. Handsome, incredibly charming, and possessor of an amulet that gives him control over Abaddon – what mortals think of as Hell – Desislav the Destroyer is thrilled when a feisty, tempting woman saves him from death…until she informs him they will soon be having a child. Then every single one of Desi’s worst nightmares comes to fruition, and he’s left with a devastating choice that means the destruction of everything he knows…and worse, everyone he loves. Parisi may think she’s got a firm grip on life, especially in controlling the Court of Divine Blood (AKA Heaven to the mortals), but when she tries to convince Desi they have nothing to worry about, she soon realizes just how grave is the peril that darkens her future. Although tragedy strikes and she has to leave both her newborn and the man she loves beyond life itself, she is content that Desi will somehow find her and make all right. When Jim reveals the truth about his parents, his friends make plans to help reunite them in return for a little help with an ancient threat to the mortal and immortal worlds alike. But as is the way of all good plans, events don’t progress as envisioned, leaving the world with two extremely powerful new enemies, and it’s up to Jim, Aisling, and the others to try to keep an Otherworld apocalypse from leveling them all.

A dragon with a past full of secrets. A woman who is the literal definition of a fated mate. And an irreverent demon in Newfoundland form with a serious Candy Crush addiction. Handsome, erudite, and sexy-as-sin Drake Vireo may look human, but he’s a dragon through and through. One known for his prowess with the ladies…especially when enjoyed in multiples. Despite loudly proclaiming the fact that no woman could hold his attention for long, he falls hard when a curly-haired, unconventional Guardian named Aisling Grey marches into his life, and demands he be the savior she needs. Drake’s no hero, however, and although their connection is unmistakeable, Aisling leaves him feeling unbalanced. If only he could dismiss her from his life…as well as the chaos that seems to follow along. If only she realized that being his mate was far more important than anything else. If only he truly believed he could live without Aisling… Take a deep dive into the dubious past of the sexiest green dragon around, and the woman who lit him on fire. Filled with Easter eggs sure to delight fans of the Aisling Grey, Guardian series, this Otherworld Adventure novella takes readers through time to Drake’s past, and forward through the events of You Slay Me, and into the few weeks following.

Sometimes, happily ever after takes its own sweet time… When Moonbeam Swiftcloud Nakai went to England on a scholarship and fell in love with a Greek student named Neo, she never thought her life would be one of regret, lost love, and oppression. But Romeo and Juliet weren’t the only star-crossed lovers around, and Beam and Neo were separated, doomed to be forever apart. Until the day when Beam is forced to go back to Greece to face everything she’d tried so hard to forget. When her beloved niece falls afoul of the same person who broke her heart in the past, Beam is determined to make things right. And if that includes facing down her former husband Neo, then so be it. Neo had spent his life trying–and failing–to forget the only woman he’d ever loved, but her betrayal broke more than just his heart. So when Beam marches back into his life with a demand that he stop picking on her niece, he’s alternately overjoyed and dismayed — there’s no denying that life has thrown them together for a reason.

They call me soulless. A destroyer of innocents. An apocalypse waiting to happen. That’s what getting dumped at the altar will do to you. Keeley Moore was as happy as a proverbial clam when he found his Beloved, the one woman fated to be the love of his immortal life. Jenna was smart, had a quirky mind, and promised to be the salvation he had long sought. And then she left him at the altar without so much as a single word of explanation. Naturally, he swept up the tattered remains of his heart, and swore to forget her. One hundred and thirty years later, he’s still trying NOT to think about her. Jenna Boyle has no idea who is the tortured, tormented, and sexy-as-sin man who claims she betrayed him a century ago, but she’s not overly worried about their past. It’s the present that concerns her, mostly in getting Keeley free from the monsters who have turned him from a peaceful vampire into a Thrall, the dreaded ancestor of all Dark Ones…one who is about to go into a murderous, unstoppable killing spree. Then there’s the Weaver’s Council, who threaten to banish Jenna for crimes she doesn’t remember committing. Although Keeley is determined to keep Jenna from hurting him again, he’s drawn to her time after time. And it’s getting increasingly difficult to convince himself that she would be better off without him in her life. If only he could find the source of his enthrallment…if only he could find a way to save Jenna without destroying himself…if only he had a future. One Thrall and his Beloved, a bestie with a male harem, and a group of intrepid tourists tackling an international organization bent on the destruction of the mortal world…it’s just another day in the world of Katie MacAlister’s Dark Ones.

And now they’ve met their matches: each other. But fearless Earless Erika is really just Amy—a financial analyst with little time in her life for anything but work. And Corbin is none other than the man behind the game—the programmer and owner of the company. He’s intrigued by Amy, the only buccaneer to best him in this test of digital testosterone, while she just wants to take his arrogance down a peg. But soon the two find themselves comrades in arms against a merciless rival bent on Corbin’s destruction—both on the virtual high seas and in real life. Only by setting aside their differences can they locate the actual people behind the swaggering swashbucklers—and along the way find that love can tame even the most fearsome of pirates. Shiver me timbers…
