I'm a motherless son to a father who hates me.
Fury has lived and breathed in my black heart for so long, it's a part of my soul now. The only thing that's ever mattered to me is protecting my twin sister, Sabella, from my father's temper. So when the chance to join a secret society presents itself, there's no question I'll do whatever it takes to become a member and earn my place in the ranks of only the most Elite.
With a taste for the deviant, I'm drawn to the darkest of desires, and no one ever leaves my bed unscathed. My task: seduce Patience Noelle, St. Augustine's sweetheart and the mayor's beloved daughter-then break her heart.
Sinning is what I live for, and deviance is my passion. Failing has never been an option. But what happens when my sin becomes my curse-when destroying the only woman I've ever wanted is my key to protecting my sister?
Accept your sin wisely, for the tasks given to earn your place are not for the weak . . . they're for The Elite.
This isn't just my chance, it's my legacy and reckoning. I am Samuel Gunner. I am Wrath.

To survive, I must become invisible. But my hope to get through the academy unscathed goes down the drain when the most powerful boys in school set their eyes on me.

Rosalind Palmer was blessed with the perfect stage name. Or so she's been told. There are just a few problems with it: 1) Her family doesn't know she's a stripper. 2) She'd like to keep it that way. 3) She got over the nickname somewhere around seventh grade.
Unfortunately-because she likes her job and she really likes her independence-her unexpected pregnancy means Rosalind's days on a pole are numbered. Even so, she's determined to make this co-parenting thing work.
Joey Marshall never thought much about having kids until he got the text announcing his impending fatherhood. Now it's all he can think about.

Rian Thompson thought she joined the gym to get healthy. Little did she know she was about to add hundred and ninety pounds of swoonworthy abdominal muscles and arrogance to her life.
Every day in Rians's life follows a predictable pattern, and she wouldn't have it any other way. She's got a nice job, a nice place to live, and a nice family-even if they are a little wedding-zilla-ish at the moment.
She doesn't need anything spectacular to be happy. She just needs to get healthy-mentally, physically . . . and maybe spiritually if that happens. But she'll settle for two out of three until her sister finally gets hitched.
Carlos Davies thought his life was perfect. Little did he know it was about to be turned upside down by a woman who is not his type.
In Carlos's mind, his life is damn near perfect. He's got a great job, a great place to live, and a great stash of pick up lines that always work. It has occurred to him that maybe no one actually takes him all that seriously. But with these bulging biceps and thick, dark hair, does that even matter since he's never sleeping alone?

Not all heroes are good guys.
With a body count on his soul and blood on his hands, Killian Nox lived in the gray. Ruthlessly single-minded, if he wanted something, it was his. And when it came to the gorgeous lass with a fiery attitude, he didn't just want her.
He needed her.
With southern-bred manners and a snark all her own, Augusta 'Gus' Allan was a connoisseur of cheap wine, delicious Mexican food, and good TV. Unfortunately, her taste in men wasn't as well-developed. When her knight in shining armor turned out to be a douche in tinfoil, Gus never expected her real hero to be a sexy-accented, tattooed beast of a man.
But he was exactly who she needed.
Gus had no clue how comforting a monster in the dark could be . . .
Until Nox.

Second chances are hard enough when you deserve them. Then there are the ones you don't.
Callie asked if I was ready. And that's the question, isn't it? Ready for what? The spotlight? The music? Or ready for life. Ready to face the reality that what I was is going to attack the very fabric of who I am now. No one knows I'm a different person. Well, no one except the two most important people in my life, which is why there's a remote chance I might actually pull off the comeback I never saw coming.
Then again, that was before Holland Drake crashed into my life. I didn't ask for her. Heaven knows she didn't ask for me. But sometimes it's not about what makes sense; it's about accepting that not everything will. It's learning you have a choice when it feels like you don't. It's believing even the worst past can still have a future.
And sometimes it's none of that. Sometimes it's survival. A blind fight through the pain as you cling to any shred of hope you can find. And it's those moments, those desperate pleas into the darkness for a flicker of light, when you have no choice but to confront the blessing that often feels like a curse:
You're still alive. You're still significant.
You're once again Luke Craven, frontman for Night Shifts Black.

She has all she needs, two good mates . . . what does she need with a third one? Especially one like him. Damaged. No one wants a mate who has a secret . . . not one like his. And the more he pushes her away, the better it will be for everyone.
For three years, ballet teacher Natalie Taggart has lived across the hall from grumpy, reclusive, sexy Greer Wilde. Save for a handful of hellos and the occasional heated glance, they never spoke to each other.
Until the morning Greer lands on her doorstep, bleeding, beaten, and bullet-riddled.
Greer doesn't need or want her help. He has only one goal: revenge. And nobody-not his brothers, and certainly not his too-hot-for-his-sanity next-door neighbor-is going to get in his way.

This is on me. All of it. I let my guard down after falling for the princes and, ultimately, lost sight of what this world truly is. Cold. Cruel. Perilous. For humans, anyway.
Being taken in the middle of the night was just the rude awakening I needed to bring reality crashing back down. Although, the old me would've seen the ambush coming from a mile away. Would've seen him coming from a mile away. Trapped and unable to reach the princes or my team, hopelessness hunts me down like a pack of hellhounds. Making matters worse, I'm at the mercy of the one who's appeared in my nightmares since first laying eyes on him.
Face-to-face for the second time, I'm reminded of our mutual hatred. Only, now that the blood bond has taken effect, is it still mutual? I get the sense that something's changed. Something that has me questioning why the rage and fury I remember him wielding so powerfully are almost nonexistent now.
What am I missing? Who is Aaric really? And why have I been brought here? I want answers he's unwilling to give, but according to him, some things are better witnessed than explained.

Corina agreed to the blood bond she forged with the Dynasty's princes. However, when a wicked outcast learns of the ritual's power, asking permission before staking his claim isn't a concern.
This covenant is unbreakable, regardless of who engages. Corina's aware that it will gain strength every day, and the biggest challenge will be keeping the raw emotions it evokes in perspective.
A challenge made more difficult when impulsive fantasies, involving her captor, suddenly rule her dreams.
Julian, Levi, and Silas will always fight to protect their mate, but it's possible they've underestimated Aaric-the madman himself-and the loyal army of roamers that stand behind him.
In a world where nothing is at all as it seems, Corina must decide for herself who's friend, who's foe, and how hard she's willing to fight to uncover the truth. But one burning question will haunt her until the answer is revealed.
How, exactly, does Aaric intend to use this connection against her and the princes who have stolen her heart?
