Her. Me. Handcuffs. You think you know what we’re up to, don’t you? I’m Archer. I’ve been in trouble plenty, but I got these bad boys from home. Emily looks so good handcuffed to me. This is the only way I could think to stop her. She found out her mom was in danger, and she ran away. She wants to save her, but we’re at war. Her brother, my best friend, told me I have to keep her safe. He trusts me. Unlike every woman I’ve ever met. Maybe it’s because I don’t kiss. On the mouth anyway. But Emily’s the only woman who’s ever stood up to me.

I’ve just got out of prison and I’m running from my MC, so my stepsister’s best friend has agreed to drive me across the country. Summer’s my ride. That’s all. But she captivates me, and I don’t have a damn clue why. She’s a distraction I can’t afford. Is it because I’ve been told she’s forbidden? Is it because she’s preppy and freakin’ beautiful, so not a part of my world? With every mile of our trip, every spark of connection, she seems to inch closer to me. The temptation is too much to resist.

I met a woman in Cabo. A gorgeous and sexy woman whom I’d been eyeing since I saw her sitting by the hotel pool. We spent one night together. What were the chances we’d ever see each other again? Slim to none, right? Wrong. She showed up at my medical center for an interview for the open OB/GYN position.

Somehow I've landed in a weird space where I'm not quite dead or alive, standing on the edge of something incredible—if only I take the chance and dive into the unknown. My mates taught me to jump on in without hesitation. I hope the water is warm. Taking a leap of faith isn't necessarily the issue, it's kicking my legs hard enough to break the surface for that first breath of fresh air. Oh, and also avoiding those who would rather see me drown. Dying was easy, but it's living that may prove difficult, especially when a certain god wants to rip the bonds of fate from my soul.

I had my reservations about hiring Alex Clark. With her long brown hair and deep brown eyes, she was a beautiful woman. I knew if I hired her and moved her into my home, the temptation to keep my hands to myself would be torturous. But I was desperate, she needed a job, and my daughter liked her.

As if that isn’t stress-inducing enough, the vampire council is in town, and that means I need Vlad’s protection. What I don’t need is his constant amorous attempts.

I made a promise not to sleep with my new personal assistant. Too late. I’d already slept with her before I knew Grayson, my human resources director, hired her. Long story short. We first met at a café when she let me have the last apple turnover. Then I saw her again that same night at a bar. She was incredibly sexy, and she wanted me as much as I wanted her. We both agreed it was a one-time thing, and she left the following day. Imagine the shock on both our faces when she showed up for work on Monday. I wasn’t a relationship type of guy and for good reasons.

The fugitive slave Ghu has ended the assassin Ahjvar's century-long possession by a murderous and hungry ghost, but at great cost. Heir of the dying gods of Nabban, he is drawn back to the empire he fled as a boy, journeying east on the caravan road with Ahjvar at his side.

Possessed by a ghost who feeds on death, the undying assassin Ahjvar the Leopard has been captured by the Lady of Marakand, enslaved by necromancy to be captain of her Red Masks. His shield-bearer Ghu, a former slave with an uncanny ability to free the captive dead, follows Ahjvar into the war-torn lands of the Duina Catairna to release him, even if that means destroying what is left of Ahj's tormented soul.

What would happen to a dragon if her mate refused her? This was the question that plagued Kayda. I’d barely come to terms with the possibility that I’d be inexplicably and unintentionally be drawn to someone I barely knew. I’d struggled to understand how I could have a need for someone when I’d always been so independent before. And I had no idea what was supposed to happen next. Honestly, I’d feel more comfortable with a blood sacrifice to Satanists than I would being tied to a wolf shifter. Or any shifter. Or any man. Trusting men was how I ended up like this.

Ahjvar, the assassin known as the Leopard, wants only to die, to end the curse that binds him to a life of horror. Although he has no reason to trust the goddess Catairanach or her messenger Deyandara, fugitive heir to a murdered tribal queen, desperation leads him to accept her bargain: If he kills the mad prophet known as the Voice of Marakand, Catairanach will free him of his curse.

Athos, sometimes the key to happiness is letting go.

Is it really considered kidnapping if I go willingly? Asking for a friend. If it were up to Christian, Athos, Nix, or Liam, their answer would be a resounding yes. Yet it's my fifth and final mate who steals me away - Kade. He's the definition of bad boy, and he draws me in like no other with his dimpled smile and haunted eyes. Kade yanks the veil away from my eyes, hinting at the intricate motivations of each of my fated mates, but my devious rogue isn't just opening my eyes to them. He's also unraveling the history of my ancestors and just what it means to be blessed by a goddess.
