I'm completely in love with my husband. And he takes care of my needs . . . as long as they're financial or physical. Anything more is too much to ask.

I don't want to, but I ask him for a divorce.

Falling in love was never part of my plan. I was supposed to graduate college and join the family business. My family's expectations of me as the oldest son were far too high, and they were becoming harder to reach. Emree was never supposed to be the girl I fell for.

Once my family found out about her, they would destroy anything we had.

When my evil stepfather sold me into slavery, I thought things couldn't get any worse. Then they send me to Darkstone Academy, a reform school for psycho mages.

Danger shadows my every step—until I find myself unexpectedly soul-bonded to four powerful men.

Especially peeling away the layers of her frumpy clothes to reveal the curvy body that plagues my every thought.

When a family heirloom summons a handsome Faerie, Celinda sees a possible avenue for escape. But she finds herself being seduced, not by the prince, but by his incredibly attractive father, the King. Tempted by the pleasure the King offers and drawn by the magic her Faerie godfather can access, Celinda's heart is tugged in two different directions.

Deva Kent spent most of her life dreaming of escaping. She hated being forced to live among the Fellowship of the Enlightened, the small community closed off from the rest of the world, and was desperate to spread her wings and discover something new. When she applied to be a nanny for a single father and his two-year-old son, the Fellowship wasn't happy, but she knew that was her fresh start. However, she never thought she'd end up falling for the man with more baggage than he could carry and storm clouds in his eyes.

“I think it’s the only way to fix me.” One sentence. One phrase. It will haunt him if he ignores it, but his heart isn’t in the business at the moment.

And what’s worse, she’s stunning and sweet and fragile.

Sold into indentured servitude at a remote reform school for wayward mages, Darkstone Academy for the Magical Arts, I found myself surrounded by dangerous enemies and far from home.

They were sent to Darkstone Academy as diplomatic hostages to keep the peace between the Human Dominion and the supernatural kingdoms.

He keeps watching me. I can't help but look back. He's gorgeous: tall, messy dark hair, and those intensely blue eyes captivating me. My life hasn't been easy by any means. Because of that I've had to grow up much faster than normal women do. I think that's why our age difference doesn't bother me at all. I wish it didn't bother him because this attraction isn't going away anytime soon and, in truth, I don't want it to. He could very possibly be my happily-ever-after and no matter how much he tries, I'm not going to let him talk me out of it until we give this a fighting chance.

But I'm determined to prove to her that I'm not the playboy everyone thinks I am.

The single dad falling for the younger nanny seems like such a cliché until it happens to you. Except that's not going to be me. I'm not going to be the mom who fell for her daughter's manny, even if Preston is hot. He's also younger than me and completely off-limits. At least that's what I keep telling myself.

Every whisper in these ancient halls speaks of magic and secrets, and every shadow hides hostile eyes watching my every move.

I've been in love with my best friend for what seems like forever. But she wanted the one thing I couldn't give her. Now, she's pregnant with another man's baby. The "donor" wants nothing to do with her . . . or the child, so I do the one thing I've always wanted to do. I claim her—and her baby—as mine. She worries the whole town is gossiping. She has no money, no family and she thinks I'm doing this because I feel sorry for her. If only she knew. Allie is my best friend, and I tried to be content with only that. Things have changed though, and I'll stop at nothing until I make her my wife.

I knew that coming home and heading back to reality was going to be challenging for me. I never expected that I'd find a hot, sexy stress release waiting for me in the airport.

Until tragedy hit; igniting a deep, crushing pain in my heart. I should have seen it coming… I should have recognized the signs… Can I save him and help him rebuild his life before he ends up as broken as I am?

One impulsive, passionate week changed my life. And I can't stop thinking about it . . . or him. The hot Italian with the full lips and inked skin. The passionate man who made me feel incredible until I realized it was all a sham. Because he lied. About his name. About everything.

Sleeping with the father of the bride-a former NFL player and one of Hollywood's most eligible bachelors-was not part of the plan. It was only supposed to be one night. One night to forget. But he made me feel wanted. Reckless. Alive. I'd been down this road before, and it only ended in disaster. Was I willing to risk my heart again?
