Ex-Figure Skater – Speed Demon Hockey Player
Wystan Finch is killing it as a hockey player after leaving Olympic figure skating due to a breakdown. A scholarship leads him to New Gothenburg University, where he joins the Polar Storms, but his arrival isn’t all fun and games. One of his teammates, Atlas, hates him from the moment he arrives. Wystan doesn’t understand why Atlas dislikes him so much, but he takes joy in irritating Atlas whenever he can. If Wystan feels more toward his rival, that’s only his business.

Captain – Or Else
Everything Atlas Frosteson wants is within his grasp. His one goal in life is to become the captain of the Polar Storms. On the day when his dream should come true, he loses the team vote to a hotshot new player, Wystan. When hate turns into something more, Atlas fights against the emotions that threaten to ruin everything he has worked hard for. His father would never forgive him or be proud of him if he gave in to the temptation of chasing after Wystan.

Hate Twists into a New Feeling
No matter which direction Atlas turns, Wystan is always there, both on and off the ice. Atlas is infuriated when his father starts dating Wystan’s mother, bringing them closer in proximity. Atlas’s obsession with Wystan could destroy his hockey career, yet he can’t get enough.

In the end, will Atlas succeed in getting rid of Wystan and taking his life back? And if he does, will he regret it?

There is a feral side of me always lying dormant until I have someone pretty to ruin.
I could corrupt him so easily; I could make him understand what it’s like to play with the devil. I could make him find new meanings to the words
"Beautifully Broken "
This one isn’t leaving.
I’m going to make him need me, and only me, no matter what It takes.
I haven’t laid my eyes on such a pretty boy in so long
Until him.

Caden

She was my first and only love, and now here I am on a road trip to nowhere.
That is until I come across the small town of Latterhills to rest for the night.
All I wanted was a tattoo to make me feel something to distract my mind before I got back on the road.
I’ve always been straight, for as long as I’ve known what sexuality even is, or so I thought.
Until him

From New York Times best-selling authors Kass Morgan and Danielle Paige comes a thrilling, dark contemporary fantasy about a prestigious sorority of witches and two girls caught up in its world of sinister magic and betrayals.

At first glance, the sisters of ultra-exclusive Kappa Rho Nu—the Ravens—seem like typical sorority girls. Ambitious, beautiful, and smart, they’re the most powerful girls on Westerly College’s Savannah, Georgia, campus.

But the Ravens aren’t just regular sorority girls. They’re witches.

Scarlett Winter has always known she’s a witch—and she’s determined to be the sorority’s president, just like her mother and sister before her. But if a painful secret from her past ever comes to light, she could lose absolutely everything . . .

Vivi Devereaux has no idea she’s a witch and she’s never lived in one place long enough to make a friend. So when she gets a coveted bid to pledge the Ravens, she vows to do whatever it takes to be part of the magical sisterhood. The only thing standing in her way is Scarlett, who doesn’t think Vivi is Ravens material.

But when a dark power rises on campus, the girls will have to put their rivalry aside to save their fellow sisters. Someone has discovered the Ravens’ secret. And that someone will do anything to see these witches burn . . .

Joshua Sinclair was once the fiercest and most notorious warrior of the mighty Sinclair clan of Northern Scotland. But now there's nothing and no one that can make him take up arms again. Except a beautiful woman, it seems.

When Kára Flett, daughter of a fallen Norse chief, finds herself unexpectedly sheltering the strongest, most brutal warrior in the land, she throws together a risky and outrageous plan to bring him to her side. Threats of violence bounce right off him. Offers of gold seem to entice him even less. Desperate enough to use the pleas of the village children to sway him, she's shocked when he's completely unmoved. There's only one tactic left for her: seduction.

Her hasty proposition falls completely by the wayside, though, as she and the Highlander come together in a carnal inferno. But bringing him into her life also brings his enemies to her clan's doorstep--the very clan Kára is trying to protect. And as their feelings deepen, Joshua will have to decide between duty and love once and for all.

As the heir to a powerful vampire gang, I should be a master thief by now. But my own abilities have always been flawed. I’m good at one thing, though—stealing. When my uncle sets his sights on a prized possession owned by Gothel, the ruler of the Sky Syndicate, I’m tasked with the job of taking it.

Everything changes when I meet the captivating gargoyle. He offers to fix my broken magic, and his smoldering touch and commanding presence make me feel alive for the first time in years.

But Gothel’s help comes with a cost. He demands my complete surrender. And when I discover just how good it feels to give in, it’s a price I’m willing to pay. Our dangerous game of seduction and submission leaves me yearning for more. But even as I give myself to him, I know the bliss is short-lived. I’ll learn from Gothel, and then I’ll steal from him.

At least that’s what I tell myself. The more time I spend in the syndicate lord’s company—and over his knee—the more I wonder if I can rob the only male who’s ever truly helped me.

When danger threatens to keep us apart for good, I realize I haven’t been learning to steal. I’ve been learning to love…and I’ll do whatever it takes to win Gothel’s heart, even if it means risking everything. SIGNED AND PERSONALIZED TO MAGGIE

Family is power. The Original vampire family swore it to each other a thousand years ago. They pledged to remain together always and forever. But even when you're immortal, promises are hard to keep.

Arriving in New Orleans in 1722, Original vampire siblings Klaus, Elijah and Rebekah Mikaelson believe they've escaped their dangerous past. But the city is lawless, a haven for witches and werewolves unwilling to share territory. The siblings are at their mercy…especially after Klaus meets the beautiful and mysterious Vivianne. Her impending marriage is key to ending the war between the supernatural factions—and Klaus's attraction to her could destroy the uneasy alliance. As Elijah works toward securing a piece of the city for his family, and Rebekah fights her unexpected feelings for a French captain, will Klaus's volatile desires bring their world crashing down—and tear them apart for good?

For years, I had the worst crush on my stepbrother, Cole Hunter. We used to ride bikes, skateboard and go fishing together - now I couldn’t even be in the same room as him without my pulse racing. One cocky half-grin from Cole would have my face blushing while my panties melted. It was insane - and completely humiliating. It was a painful secret that I guarded fiercely. Cole was off-limits. Forbidden. If he knew how I felt, I would die of embarrassment. I avoided Cole for years, until one wild night, when my best friend took me to a club. I thought I was going to see a grunge band, but it turned out to be a much kinkier kind of club. A club where anything goes, and well, things got a little crazy. Make that a lot crazy. No one would ever know what I’d done, right? Then I discovered who the man behind the mask really was…

I’ve lived in Haverhill for most of my life. Or at least, for as long as I can remember. I wouldn’t call it home, per se. Can a place ever really be considered home when you have no one left to call family and those you’d call neighbors would love nothing more than to watch you burn?

It’s what they do, after all. Haverhill has been burning witches for over 300 years.

I could have left a long time ago. Should have left.

Would have, if not for him.

It’s pathetic, honestly. I don’t even know his name but I can’t stay away — even when not staying away means just a glimpse at most.

It isn’t just that he’s hot.

I mean, he is. He really is.

But I can’t shake the way I’m drawn to him, and when a simple nighttime jog turns into a fight for my life, he’s the one there to help smother the flames.

By chance, we find what’s truly bound me to this place.

Haverhill has been playing with matches and if forced to fight fire with fire, we’ll burn it to the ground.

If the inferno burning between us doesn’t consume us first.

Definitely Kinky: Ruby’s known the guys in her string quartet forever. There’s Jonathan, the bossy lead violinist, and Steve, the cellist, who plays ref when they’re at each other’s throats. Then there’s Ethan, the viola player. After five years, he’s still a mystery: quiet, unassuming, and intensely dedicated to the music they create. Who would’ve thought he’d be the one to step up and comfort her after a wedding reception gig goes haywire? Who would’ve thought they’d end up in each other’s arms?And who would’ve thought he’d know how to tilt her world sideways using only his voice, his fingers, and a bundle of rope?
Perfect and Powerful: Sure, Ruby can’t stand lead violinist Jonathan most of the time, but she agrees to play his girlfriend at a party so he can fend off a stalker-ish fan. Only problem—over the course of the night, she discovers Jon’s an amazing dancer, and an even better kisser. When she’s in his arms, she forgets how much he irritates her, because he’s so passionate and forceful, so unapologetically in command.He’s always a strict taskmaster during rehearsals and concerts, but maybe that translates into something more fun in the bedroom. With Ethan’s support and encouragement, Ruby decides to find out…
Play With Me: Steve’s the big brother type, always has been—tall, blond, fun-loving, faithful, and protective. When Ruby shows up on the wrong night for one of his famed pajama parties, he graciously invites her to stay and hang out. Everything’s great, until she gets a little too drunk on hard cider and professes her horniness for him. Repeatedly.Well, the other two guys turned out to be fascinating learning experiences in the bedroom. Now Ruby and Steve have to decide if they want to cross that line too, or preserve their easy friendship. Maybe, with a little luck, they can do both.
The Full Concerto: The good news: the Gold Quartet has been invited to play one of their favorite concertos as guest artists with the noted Berlin Philharmonic. The bad news: the concert falls on Ruby’s birthday, so she’ll be traveling to Europe with her fellow musicians instead of celebrating at home with family and friends.The guys hatch a plan to make it up to her, a plan to celebrate Ruby’s birthday in a way she’ll never forget. Playing with one of the foremost orchestras in the world is cool, but fulfilling one of Ruby’s naughtiest fantasies is even better. Her three trusted friends and lovers take her on a ride of deep, passionate surrender, bringing this quartet of sensual stories to a spectacular close.
