ABIGAIL DARLINGTON IS AWKWARD . . .
She will never be "that" girl. You know the one: that girl on campus, confident in her own skin. Always saying the right things. Putting herself out there. Knows how to talk to a guy without stammering.
Nope. Shy but clever, and easily embarrassed, Abby is fine being the wallflower in her circle of outgoing, beautiful friends; she would rather read about a sexy book boyfriend than actually have a live, breathing one.
. . . BUT CALEB LOCKHART IS WORSE.
Star goaltender for the University's hockey team, Caleb is quiet and broody, preferring the solitude of his orderly, regimented life. He doesn't like, or need people-and plans to keep it that way. One more year left of hockey and he'll be long gone.
AWKWARD NEVER LOOKED SO GOOD.
Both their lives change the day that Abigail falls for Caleb. Well, falls directly on top of him, to be accurate. Because sometimes we don't settle into love.
We fall there.
Contains mature themes.
One thing I've learned since I became a hunter . . .
Anyone can betray you.
It's exactly why I find myself traveling to a place I never thought I'd go.
The Shadow Realm.
Demons hide in every shadow and around every corner. But here in the darkness I discover even more surprises. Things I never thought possible.
With a Queen to hunt, and a witch to find, what could possibly go wrong?
Contains mature themes.
A year ago, Kelly Cannon couldn't imagine he'd end up with his formerly straight best friend. It's hard to believe he can finally kiss Blue anytime he wants . . . as long as they're in private. And there's the rub. Despite Kelly's promise to wait until Blue is ready to come out, he's tired of sneaking around. The cracks in their relationship are starting to show, and there might not be enough spackle in the world to fix them.
Britton 'Blue' Montgomery may not be the physics brainiac his boyfriend is, but he's not stupid. He knows Kelly isn't completely happy, but he's not ready to be the poster boy for bisexuals and gays in the NFL. He just wants to keep his head down, play the game he loves, and go home to the man he adores. Is that too much to ask?
With the truth slowly coming to the surface, Blue must make a choice. If it means losing Kelly, there's no decision to make. He has to find enough courage to face the music and hope they'll survive the fallout.
Man. Happily-ever-afters may not be just for Disney princesses, but they sure are a lot of work.
The infamous Silver Bear, now a new father, finds himself waking up in the wee hours of the morning and dealing with the challenges of a baby-all while leading the double life of a contract killer.
The struggle is not with his conscience. He enjoys his gig. But a child forces him to weigh selfishness versus safety. Continue his line of work, and he'll always wonder if he's putting his child's life at risk. His wife, Risina, serves as his fence. Like Columbus, she's good at her job and likes doing it. It is an unusual take on working motherhood.
When the next assignment comes in, both Columbus and Risina are surprised to find that the mark is another assassin: a brash, young killer named Castillo. Castillo is an assassin on the rise. Even Columbus is impressed by his tenacity and talent. And as Columbus closes in on his target, he realizes that Castillo is a younger version of himself. It's almost like looking in a mirror. Castillo has even studied Columbus's work.
But Columbus's assignment is clear: kill the young man. However, Castillo soon learns that his hero and unwitting mentor has a family-a revelation with enormous ramifications.

I'd love to tell you how I got stuck in a house in the middle of Nowhereville, Illinois. Or how many years I've spent with no memory of the person I used to be. But I can't. Those details are locked down tight inside the chaos of my mind, and I don't have the key.
The only thing I do know-I'm dead. Major bummer, right?
I spend my days doing what I do best-scaring off anyone who steps foot inside my house. Of course, ghost girls can't own houses, but that's beside the point. A girl's got a rep to maintain, and after a close call a while back, I've had to step up my game. This ghost girl doesn't want to be exorcised anytime soon.
Just when my unlife is getting increasingly dull, a team of hot paranormal researchers shows up to investigate the cause of all the unusual activity. Now I don't know whether I should bust out my normal bag of tricks or take a chance on making my presence known in other, potentially naughty, ways. Don't judge. Ghost girls have needs too, ya know, and mine have gone unmet for way too long.
Contains mature themes.
Dillon: I don't do relationships. I've been abandoned all my life, and I don't trust a soul except my own damn self. But there's something different about Jack Chance. From his lithe, gymnast's body to his soulful hazel eyes, he's everything I never knew I wanted. When he's wrapped up in my arms, begging for more, everything seems right about the world.
I'm not boyfriend material-everyone in Abingdon knows that. I've got a moonshine-making hillbilly family, a heart hardened by war, and I walk into burning buildings for a living. Oh, and I'm still in love with my best friend.
Jack: I like a good project-maybe that's why I'm madly, ridiculously, over-the-moon in love with Dillon Manning. I want him to see what I see when I look at him-a hero, a whole, real man. I'm addicted to his touch, his body, the way he kisses me so deeply and so tenderly. There's more to Dillon than he lets on. I just want him to realize it.
But Dillon is just about on my last nerve, and I'm ready to be done. That's when the unthinkable happens.
Contains mature themes.
In the early 1960s, Ann Garretson sparks an airmail romance with Lieutenant Jack Sigg, a West Point grad and tank commander on the German-Czech border. Ann and Jack's correspondence heats up, and they hatch a rendezvous in Europe for the summer of 1964 to seal their budding love. A match for the ages.
Not so fast. Ann's best friend in college, Terry Marshall, helps her plan the escapade, but in the weeks leading up to her trip, they realize they are more than just friends.
In June, Terry bids her a wistful goodbye. One lonely month later, he decides he can't live without her. As Jack takes Ann on a whirlwind 'grand tour' in his Corvette Sting Ray, she receives Terry's marriage proposal-by mail. His letter throws all three of their lives into turmoil.
Ann is in love with two men who couldn't be more different. Jack offers the military life Ann grew up with. Terry is a fiery conscientious objector who plans to join the Peace Corps-unless the draft board intervenes and sends him to jail. Caught between the old mores and winds of change, Ann must make an agonizing choice.
One night with a sheikh leads to a secret baby surprise!
Billionaire sheikh Rafiq "Rafe" bin Saleed has come to Royal, Texas, to buy the town—and get even with his former best friend. But Rafe's plans are pushed aside for one amazing night with a stranger—and then nearly derailed when he discovers the identity of his mystery woman. For not only is Violet McCallum his enemy's cherished little sister, she's now pregnant with Rafe's child! Rafe knows he has the upper hand; all he has to do is walk away. But there's something about Violet that won't let him leave without her…
A disturbing murder reveals a high-stakes conspiracy among the ruins of postwar Dresden.
Two years after the firebombing that devastated the historic East German city, the suffering continues in the throes of a brutal winter. The wary and exhausted citizens scramble to survive, wolf packs of orphans scavenge for food, and Detective Max Heller is called to the scene of a savage murder. A Russian officer was stabbed to death, and not far from the frozen corpse is an abandoned backpack containing another man’s severed head.
If the grisly find belonged to the dead officer, it could implicate the city’s all-powerful Soviet military occupiers. If it belonged to the officer’s killer, then Heller faces even more troubling questions.
Despite dire warnings from higher-ups on all sides, Heller is determined to discover the answers. His investigation leads him down a trail of unspeakable corruption, desperate murders, and greater looming evils that Heller may never be able to contain.
Something is watching me. I can't tell if it wants to hurt or protect me.
Is the howling at night real or is my mind playing tricks on me? What about the flashes of white fur I see out of the corners of my eyes? And who is the beautiful, pale man haunting my dreams?
As carnival performers, it's always on to the next show. A tattooed sword swallower with an affinity for fire has gotten me all fired up. Connor not only doesn't mind, but he's encouraging the sparks to fly. My heart's being pulled in multiple directions and somehow it actually feels right.
Meanwhile, I've been tasked with the impossible for this show. I can't just pull it off, I have to nail it perfectly or the whole operation could go up in flames.
The ride has just begun. Step right up.

Ricca: You can't outrun your past, a mistake I learned the hard way. Stripped of the last piece of my innocence in the middle of the Californian desert, I waited for death. Then he appeared. My vengeful angel.
He's everything I'm not. He's everything I want. He's everything I can never have.
Ratchet: I will not let my past define me.
Abandoned by my mother as a child, I would be dead if it weren't for Jagger. He took me into the Heaven's Rejects and saved my life. Now I want to save hers. The superficial cuts and bruises on her delicate skin don't compare to the pain lurking in her heart. The pain I want to save her from.
Somehow, I will find a way to get through to her. Come hell or high water, she will be mine.

Jesse is having the worst day of his life. Unfortunately, it's also the worst day in the history of humankind. Sanginians have invaded Earth, using their tremendous mental powers to turn all of humanity into their slaves in a matter of seconds. Lucky for Jesse, he has some telepathic abilities of his own, making him "superior product," worthy to serve in the home of Lord Vertenomous, the leader of this new colony.
Too bad for Lord Vert that Jesse isn't the type of product to sit back and take things quietly. In fact, it seems there may be other product who feel the same-like Lauren, the overachieving do-gooder; Michael, the star athlete; and Lindsey, the fashion model. But it isn't until Jesse starts communicating in his dreams with a mysterious girl, whom he's pretty sure is real, that he starts to think the aliens might not be invincible after all.
Brian Yansky takes listeners on a journey filled with humor and courage, where one teenage boy has to figure out what exactly it means to be human.
