"The battle for the Underworld has begun . . .
When Hanna Heikkinen sacrificed herself to the God of Death to save her father, she never imagined she'd fall in love with the grumpy god—or thrive as Queen of Tuonela. Nor did she expect to uncover the truth of her divine lineage, a secret tied to powers far beyond her understanding.
But when the Old Gods rise and Louhi's dark forces plunge the Land of the Dead into Kaaos, threatening to destroy the balance of life and death, Hanna must fight for more than just her realm. With Tuonela unraveling and the souls of the dead at risk of eternal Oblivion, Hanna and Tuoni face impossible odds as love and duty collide.
Can Hanna save Tuonela before it's lost to the void, or will her greatest sacrifice come at the cost of the one she loves most?

"The First Time series concludes with an enemies to lovers romance that has been a long time coming. August and Paisley finally figure out what they’ve been missing.
The first time I got married, I watched the man I love walk away from me.
The second time around, I’m the one signing the dotted line first—this one a man who I realized I never loved.
Once burned, twice broken, I’m done looking for love.
Only my first ex-husband seems to be everywhere I turn—at my work, with my friends, and eventually…in my bed.
I didn’t mean for it to happen.
Twice.
But I know if I don’t protect my heart, there will be nothing left of me if he walks away again without telling me why he did so in the first place.
I don’t know if I can trust this new version of ourselves or if it’s merely the heat between us striking hot.
After all, second chances only exist in my dreams.
And there’s no such thing as a second chance husband."
"Vivian's a pretty mild-mannered person.
Even with a busload of hyperactive fourth graders going to a baseball signing, she's patient and kind.
Even when she meets Dash Wallace…major league legend and star of her hottest daydreams…she keeps her cool.

Kind of.
Mostly.
It's fine until the regular season, when he's going to travel with the team.
He has rituals. Processes. Routines.

Not fine.

"Monica believes Jonathan despite her better judgment. Forgives him despite her doubts.
She loves him…just because.
Her heart isn't sensible or guarded enough. Not by a sight. She’s a walking raw nerve ending of emotion, as if the celibate years she'd spent before him made her more emotional, more vulnerable, more foolish.
And she agreed to all of it yesterday and today.
She’d agree to it tomorrow and forever, but for one thing.
There might not be a tomorrow for her king."

"Princess Maren is a woman with a secret.
Ten years ago she sold her soul to the sea witch Edonia, giving up a life underwater in exchange for the love of Prince Aerik on land. But after a decade of abuse and misery inflicted by the cruel prince, Maren wants nothing more than to reverse the spell.
An opportunity for escape presents itself when the prince and princess are traveling overseas and are taken hostage by a band of notorious pirates, led by the fearsome Captain Ramsay 'Bones' Battista. Maren has heard the sordid stories about the infamous pirate—not only is his ship supposedly haunted and crewed by the damned, but that no prisoners ever survive.
Fortunately for Maren, she learns that the captain also has a score to settle with the sea witch. With any luck, Maren may be able to get her old life back, even if it's being held in the captain's wicked hands.
But Ramsay gets more than he bargained for when he learns who—and what—Maren is, and that her appetite for revenge, freedom, and bloodlust rivals his.
Meanwhile Maren finds herself falling for the pirate's dark nature, even as she discovers that Ramsay has a secret more deadly than her own.

"Secret desires are laid bare when a divorced couple reunites in this sinfully hot second-chance romance.
I made the worst mistake of my life three years ago when I divorced my wife. Marrying Vanessa Stendahl was the best thing that ever happened to me. We started out as newlyweds who couldn't keep our hands off each other. Then decades went by, and suddenly, everything had changed.
She wasn't happy anymore, and that was my fault. Instead of fighting for us, I filed for divorce. Wasn't that what she wanted? I don't know anymore. What do I know? I'm still in love with Vanessa. We might be middle-aged now, and maybe she refuses to speak to me, but I have a plan to win her back. It's insane, but I don’t care.
I've secretly booked a vacation for her at an adults-only nudist resort on a South Pacific island—the same one where I'll be staying. If that doesn't shake up our relationship, nothing will. She thinks she won a tropical getaway. When she finds out I deceived her… I'll worry about that later.

"Kyle: I was four when I met Allie Dupree. Ten when I stopped thinking she had cooties. Fourteen when I realized I was in love with her. And eighteen when I finally told her.
Then I never saw her again. I also never forgot her. And my heart never let her go.
Sixteen years after she'd disappeared without a word, she's back and there's no way in hell I'm letting her get away again. Especially because there are still burning embers of what we had. And, at the very least, I think I deserve some answers.
Allie: Returning to New York had never been a part of my plan. But having to watch my ex-husband move on with his pregnant fiancée before the ink had even dried on our divorce papers had made staying in Michigan impossible.
The odds of running into Kyle Hogan in Manhattan were one in three million. But sure enough, my first month back, I came face-to-face with the one person I'd never wanted to see again.
What had happened sixteen years ago had ruined my life, and Kyle can never find out that secret. I won't let it destroy him, too.
