I’ve known my entire life that everyone in Hell wants me dead. They fear me. Not because I’m the Devil’s daughter—well, okay, that may be part of it—but because they think I’m a bad omen. My father was prophesied to have a son. Then I came along. and every resident in Hell believes I’m the beginning of their end.
I’m the female version of my father. I’m ruthless because I have to be. I’m a killer because it’s kill or be killed, and I sure as Hell don’t want to die. I’m nineteen, and I hit my immortality already. There’s only one weapon that can kill me. But that doesn’t mean I want to be tortured and maimed either. So I fight to prove they can’t take me down.
This year I start Hell’s Fire Academy. It’s the school all Demons go to so we know where their skills best suit Hell. On the first day of school, I do something stupid. I save a Demon’s life instead of killing him. Then I see the only two guys I’ve ever called friends before. It’s been fourteen years, and it still feels like I’ve known them forever. It was always the three of us. Stronger together than we were apart. But I forgot about that and I forgot them.
Then there’s my roommate; he’s the last Demon I wanted to share a room with. So why am I still here? Why do I trust these men to have my back? I haven’t trusted anyone except my dad since I was five, but I can’t seem to stay away from them.
When I’m taken and tortured, I learn that I was betrayed. It hurts me more than I should have allowed it to. I let people into my heart, and I’m hurt because of it. But there’s more to the story than that. The problem is, can I trust the reason? Can I believe it’s the truth?

When I arrived in Alaska, I thought I signed up for a simple IT job.
I didn't think I'd have to create a massive magic spell with my funky witchy powers-for a village of sea dragons, no less.
But here I am. Surrounded by my family's mortal enemies, trying to learn spells most five-year-olds can perform, and getting flustered over guys who turn into mythical beings.
The worst thing: I don't even mind that much. Because as terrifying as this new world is, these three men make it worthwhile.
With every look, every touch, every kiss, I get more addicted.
Until the moment my old life catches up with me, bringing dangers I never saw coming. Everything I've worked to build might shatter with one false move.
Unless I figure out how to be the witch I was meant to be.
Enemies are closing in, threatening those I love.
You'd think witch hunts were a thing of the past, but it turns out, some dragons aren't happy with a witch living in their village.
What's worse, my family can't seem to let me go, and I'm scared of how far they'll go to keep me from using my magic.
If I have to leave Amber Bay to save my men from being hunted, then that's what I'll do. Even if my heart will break with every mile I put between us.
But they won't let me go.
They'll fight for me until their last breath, and I want nothing more than to stay with them.
No matter what the future brings.
Amber Bay, Alaska, has it all.
A cozy log cabin with a roaring fireplace? Check.
A remote location where my family can't find me? Check.
Three hot guys I can't stop thinking about? Also check.
But the small off-grid town also has a mysterious undercurrent running through it. People are wary of strangers-even though they don't know I'm a witch-and mothers shoo their children away when I'm near.
Something's not right here, and I intend to find out what it is.
But I'm afraid that digging up this town's secrets might expose my own.
Fate does not choose the weak. Fate chooses the ready. Illustros is a cursed realm ruled by the ruthless Gods of Fate, and no one understands the Fates' wrath more than Calliope Rosewood. Blessed with unspeakable powers that terrify even the most dangerous witches and fae, Calla hides her forbidden magic in shame and fear that one wrong touch could send her to her death. With only her two best friends in tow, Calla deserted her coven and has been on the run ever since. Worse, Calla is concealing an even darker secret: fate has chosen her as the final prophesied Blood Warrior, the being destined to start the Fates' War, which will decimate her people and eradicate their magic. After a betrayal from her infuriating ex Ezra leads her one step closer to fulfilling that age-old prophecy, Calla is desperate to do whatever it takes to reset her fate. So when a mysterious and charming witch offers to help Calla do just that, she immediately agrees to his plan. Only catch? That plan includes journeying into the deadly Neverending Forest with Ezra and said witch, who just so happens to be Ezra's tempting older brother. Torn between her past desires and alluring new possibilities, Calla brings along her best friends to fight what lies ahead. As the group ventures into the enchanted woods together, they'll all soon learn that choosing your destiny comes with dire consequences . . . and the Fates are not to be tested. Calla believes the Fates have it out for her, while others believe they have chosen her for a reason. But in the end, Calla will have to fight to forge her own destiny and decide if the risk of choosing herself is worth the possibility of damning everyone else.

Saint is torn. What his wolf and heart wants is Ada. He believes he isn't good for her, that Noah or even Huxley are a better choice, but he can't stay away. He knows he is just going to break her heart if he keeps doing this to her.
When Saint witnesses Huxley kissing Ada, he wants to rip his throat out, but at the same time it would just be easy to walk away.

And the more he pushes her away, the better it will be for everyone.
Beautifully, wonderfully, toe-curlingly complex.
That's Killian O'Sullivan-running back for the New York Vulcans-complete with lucky green jockstrap and an appetite for trouble. A smart woman would steer well clear, but I've decided to head right for the pretty blue eyes of the storm.
I find him one night half-naked in an alleyway (long story) short on pants but definitely not short on something else. Helping a stranger in need is one thing, but dating a Vulcan is quite another. He lives on a knife's edge. Me? I've got . . . complications (even longer story).
It's a solid no-go. Absolutely not. Still, there's a flicker of desire that's working itself between my legs that seems damn near unstoppable if I let it burn unattended. But a guy who looks good in a skirt (yep, another story) and smells like a bottle of Jameson?
I have an inkling, a little tingle that tells me it would be a bad, no good, terrible kind of idea.
Because getting into his pants is one thing. But getting into his head is quite another.

The football star bad boy with the blue eyes and broken memory.
Harrison Miller is making waves on the Brain Injury Ward, and as his therapist, I have close, intimate access. Amnesia is a rare and sometimes dangerous condition, even for an alpha male. But the more time we spend together, the further I fall into his orbit, connecting on a level far deeper and private than I ever imagined.
I said I wouldn't date a guy like this again, that I'd keep my clean slate and simple life. That's to say nothing of the ethical issues at play.
But every time those upturned icebergs look my way, I'm lost, worried if I let myself drift to him I'll go down hard and fast, unable to draw breath again.
Every part of my life has been so carefully planned and orchestrated until now, but he is the wild card I never expected.
I want to tear myself open and let him see it all, the black and inky heart of a sinner. I want to share all of my secrets with him, painful as they are.
Contains mature themes.
