It's official. I must be cursed.
After my hellish first year at The Academy of the Devil, I thought I was prepared for anything. But things never work the way they should at this damn school, and as my second year begins, it becomes obvious that my troubles have just begun.
My relationship with Callum, Stefan, and Mikael is still as confusing as ever. I have no idea where I stand with them and they're not doing any better. My new bond with Mikael adds even more complications to the mix, because even if we're the ones who are part of the House of Envy, the green-eyed monster is alive and well in Callum and Stefan too.
To make matters worse, the students aren't very happy with the idea of having a nephilim in their midst. The dethroned prince of the school isn't safe from anyone, not anymore, and I don't know how to help him.
Then, there's Dean Mephistopheles, who's starting to pay an alarming amount of attention to me. And against my better judgment, I find myself drawn to him too.
I don't know what will happen now, but one thing is certain. My second year at The Academy of the Devil is certainly going to be demonic.
Contains mature themes.
The warlock council has taken over the school, and these guys don't mess around. They can purify Sinistral blood, and guess who is on their tainted list? Yours truly, and worse-my beloved incubus Alec. Did I mention the new dean is also Harris's cousin? Harris will have to betray his family if he wants to help us, but the price he asks of me is . . . um . . . blush murmur.
As if I don't have enough problems already, Firian is still stuck as a fox, Montague is getting a little more cozy with his vampire heritage, and Daisy is betrothed to the new dean who is more than willing to abuse her powers. I'm still trying to save my mom and bring her home to my dad, but the truth is, I'm scared. She's been working for a high demon for twenty years and what will she do back in my little home town? Go get a job at the diner and regale the local Baptists with stories of her days working for a demon? Yeah, right.
The faeries might offer us a way out, but only if we can kill the high demon and deliver his head to the faery queen. We all have a stake in this fight, but are all the hours I spent playing MMORPGs sufficient training for a real life boss battle? I'm about to find out.
Contains mature themes.
For as long as I can remember, I've been the girl who didn't fit in, the girl who collapsed in the middle of class, just because my brain decided to turn on me. I can't really complain, though. We don't live in the Middle Ages, so I have yet to be subjected to an exorcism. I can get treatment for my condition. Epilepsy aside, I can mostly be a normal person and have a normal life.
There's just one problem. I'm not a normal person. I never have been. And the first time I find this out is upon receiving an exclusive invitation to The Academy of the Devil.
Unfortunately, The Academy of the Devil isn't like other schools and the current princes of the school have a lot of experience in ripping whatever contender they have to shreds. All of them despise humans. All of them sneer at anyone who displays any kind of weakness. All of them hate me and everything I stand for. That's fine. I don't need friends, lovers, or even valued mentors. All I need is to survive my school years with my soul, my sanity and my brain intact. It'll be a challenge, but I've dealt with worse. I might not be ready for the Academy of the Devil, but they're not ready for me either.
Contains mature themes.
Some powers are beyond human control. Some secrets hold too much weight to be carried. Some sins cannot forever be contained. This year, secrets, sins, and power come together-and the end will be upon us all.
It's my third year at The Academy of the Devil, and things finally seem to be falling into place. I've reached a tentative agreement with my new lovers. My life is finally headed in the right direction. Or so it seems-until he shows up.
They say he is an exchange student. They call him Lucian and cluster around him like flies drawn to honey. They are blind. I know the truth. I can see his true identity in his eyes, in his smile, in the sinful power bubbling under his skin.
He is Lucifer, the Fallen One, the Brightest Star. Like a supernova, he's as beautiful as he is dangerous, and for some reason, he wants me to be his. There's just one problem with that. Callum, Stefan, Mikael, and Meph aren't willing to hand me over to anyone-not even to one of the most powerful angels in the world.
There's something he's hiding, some reason why he deems me special-and I want nothing to do with. But do I really have a choice? Can I really withstand the fire and the power of Lucifer himself? Somehow, I doubt it, but I'm certainly going to try.
Contains mature themes.
A curvy woman + The Alpha who wants her + Wine and a sexy dream = waking up marked!

The second novel in USA Today bestselling author Penelope Bloom’s Anyone But… series turns up the heat and hilarity with a story about second chances and promises worth breaking.
After Cade King cost me everything, I vowed I’d never fall for him again—even if he became rich and megafamous.
Now he’s back, and he’s still the embodiment of a big, shiny red button. Everybody knows you shouldn’t touch red buttons, but it’s so, so hard to resist.
I’d be lying if I said I didn’t enjoy it a little when I arrested him for disorderly conduct. Unfortunately, I think Cade liked it a little too. So when he asks for my help raising the son he just found out about, I know exactly what to say: “No, you stupidly sexy red button. I won’t touch you, even to help a cute little kid.” You’re damn right that’s what I said. Mostly.
Still, Cade doesn’t know the first thing about commitment. He lives completely in the moment. I’d need to have a recurring case of amnesia to believe he could change, even for his son. Or me.
The third novel in USA Today bestselling author Penelope Bloom’s Anyone But… series sizzles with a sexy and hilarious story about letting go of the past to chase the love of a lifetime.
Seven years ago, I swore I’d never date Nick King. Ever.
Now I’m supposed to work under him—and no, despite the way he glares like he wants to strip me bare, I mean he’ll be my boss. But what better way to prove I’m really over him, right?
I was a nerdy overachiever in high school, and Nick was my hopeless crush. I even laminated a note he passed to me; granted, I had a thing for laminators, but that’s beside the point.
Now, my only shot at getting my life back on track is to crawl to him on my knees and pray I nail the interview. Maybe I should pray that’s the only thing that gets nailed in his office—especially since he looks like he wants to devour me.
Nick broke my heart once. But hey, I’m still pretty handy with a laminator. Maybe I could run my heart through one before I take this job.
From USA Today bestselling author Penelope Bloom comes the first novel in the romantic, sexy, and hilarious Anyone But… series.
Seven years ago, my best friends and I made a promise: No matter what, we would never date one of the King brothers. Even if they grew up to become megafamous, gorgeous, heart-stopping billionaires. Even if they crawled on their knees and begged for forgiveness.
But guess who just flew back into our lives in a private jet? And guess who just showed up to my job on my first day? Richard. King. Fortunately, it takes two seconds for Richard to reveal he hasn’t changed. Conceited. Cocky. Rude. Unfortunately, he’s also the kind of gorgeous that’s borderline offensive—with a jawline to make statues self-conscious and a grin that short-circuits my brain.
He’s spent years taking what he wants. I doubt he’s hungry for anything else—except me, apparently. There’s no way I’ll let him maneuver his way back into my life. My friends would never forgive me. I would never forgive me. But did I mention his jawline?
For vet and animal whisperer Charli Avers, talking to bears is all in a day's work. But when she finds a man-a very sexy, very alpha man-where a bear ought to be, the wild comes close to home. Charli is drawn to this mysterious stranger. She wants to help him piece together the past he can't remember-even if that means shedding her human misgivings and embracing her more carnal desires. After shifting from bear to man, Barry believes he's finally found his mate. Now he just needs to find himself. He doesn't know much about the animal within him, but his human heart aches for Charli. She ignites his instincts to protect her from all danger-including their electric attraction. The stakes climb as Charli investigates the mystery behind Barry's memory loss and how it may relate to strange sightings and thefts in this little corner of Oregon. Without answers, she may lose Barry-and herself-to the wild side forever.
Maybe I was the girl Clara didn’t want me to be. Here I was, with the goblin king, and I didn’t want him to stop.
For the past ten years, the Goblin King has stayed locked away in his caverns. He only opens his doors for one purpose: he will give one gold coin for every night a girl is willing to spend with him. Despite his fearsome reputation, his fangs and claws, the girls come back safe and sound, and they never say a word about it. One must be very desperate to accept such an offer…or very curious. Well, everyone says curiosity has always been my downfall. Too clever for a girl so beautiful.
Now my family is on the brink of losing everything. My sister Clara knows the goblin king’s story has always intrigued me, and she’s willing to sacrifice me to get her hands on his money. But I finally have the chance to sate my curiosity.
What will I find when I get there? A man who is cruelly cursed, haunted by a past misdeed? Or the man who will unlock all of my secret desires?
It has been a long time since the Goblin King trusted anyone, but if he is willing to trust me, I might be able to save him and his people. But the witch who cursed him is close at hand, and she doesn’t play fair.
Beauty and the Goblin King is a fairy tale retelling for those who like an adorable happily ever after with a side of serious steaminess!
Contradictions. Tall and short. Inked and unmarked. Golden and porcelain. Soft dreads and wild red. Dark and . . . darker.
