"Sacrifices are acceptable when you're not the one making them.
With Arty's life hanging in the balance, nothing else matters.
Until it does.
The rift in the abyss is opening. The world as we know it is about to end, and it turns out, I'm the only one who can stop it.
It's time to face the ultimate truth.
It's finally time to face Fate head on.
Contains mature themes."
"My family, the Whitlows, are basically the supernatural Corleones of the Carolinas. We run a magical safe house disguised as a quaint inn, backed by more old money than sense. My sisters are more likely to start an apocalypse than prevent one—Alafair's never met a margarita she didn't like, and if Emmery had to choose between her spellbook and her heels, I'm pretty sure the stiletto sling-backs would win.
So who gets stuck with the messes? That would be me, Tula Whitlow, because I'm competent enough to be useful and way too lazy to argue.
I'm not the most powerful witch in town (that'd be my aunt Ruby, who treats dark magic like a contact sport), but I'm the only one who bothers to show up.
Now there's an FBI agent on my doorstep with a case that's way above my pay grade. His sister's life is on the line, and all signs point to an upscale vineyard with some dark secrets. Ancient curses, old gods, and the kind of magic that makes even my aunt Ruby nervous. I'm going to have to wrangle my family into helping.
Look, I know what you're thinking—why not call in the magical equivalent of SWAT? Trust me, in this town, my family IS the nuclear option. Heaven help us all."
"The twos just got a lot more terrible.
Ian had enough trouble trying to write for a living and keep up with his daughter, Lucy, even before she started shifting into a squirrel. Now that she's turning two and breathing fire? All bets are off.
Olivia is used to her cat Seltzer bringing her live trophies, but she's not sure what to do with a squirrel that turns into an adorable little red-headed girl, or the gorgeous single dad who comes looking for her from next door. Olivia didn't come to Nickel City expecting to be swept off her feet, or to discover magic, but the next thing she knows, she's taking a temporary job at a day care for shifters and discovering a hidden world of enchantment and instinct.
Ian's dragon is sure that Olivia is the one, but Ian has already had one relationship go down in flames, and he's not sure he can trust Olivia with his deepest secret. He's going to have to learn to control his own power in order to save her . . . or lose her forever.
Full of humor and heart, Dragon's Instinct is a sizzling full-length paranormal romance romp featuring opinionated pets and cute children, with a guaranteed happy ending and a lot of laughs."
"Vivian had a literal unicorn . . . and tragically lost him. Her daughter is a kirin, a lucky Chinese unicorn, her son is eight months and already has four teeth, and she's working full-time as a nurse. She doesn't have the time for romance, no matter how handsome the new temporary pediatrics doctor is. She definitely doesn't have time for the puppy her daughter desperately wants.
As a unicorn shifter, Doctor Becket can use his power to heal disease and injury. The only problem is that every time he uses his magic, he loses a little bit of his own lifespan. He's made peace with this trade-off . . . until he meets a courageous single mother who reminds him what there is left to live for.
Instinct tells Becket that Vivian's home is exactly where he needs to be, but how can he risk her happiness and safety? Especially when someone who knows his secrets is willing to do anything to get him back for their own purposes . . .
Is it possible that Vivian will love two unicorns in her lifetime and lose them both?
Unicorn's Instinct is a funny and touching tale of healing and heart, with a guaranteed happy ever after, lots of laughs, adorable children, and one lucky puppy."
"How do you beat an ancient monster? Release a bigger one.
I thought I'd lost every one of my dreams ten years ago, but I got a new chance when I entered the Trials. With every renewed hope, though, has come more hardship and the Night Bringer has made it very clear that he will not allow me keep any happiness.
When shadow rebels attack the Crystal Court, injuring a good friend of mine in the process, I know the Night Bringer is behind it. He's beginning a campaign to destroy my beloved court and my friends alike.
He's promised to take away everything precious to me, bit by bit. And I believe him.
So that just means I'll just have to kill him first and I know what I need to do. In order to kill a monster, I'll have to unleash a stronger one."
"After the death of the woman who raised him and the realization that the girl he loves will never love him back, young Mark Callahan decides it's time to leave the small harbor town of Miriam's Cove for good. All that remains is one last shift at The Windcrest Hotel, a seaside resort that has seen better days.

"The third book in the hilarious and dangerously sexy Accidents Happen series, this fast-paced fantasy romance throws no-nonsense security boss Jericha Brown into a whirlwind of sabotage, forbidden attraction, and dimension-jumping mayhem when she's forced to partner with a smugly irresistible Shadow Walker—and discovers that saving her company might mean losing her heart.
Security breaches? Check. Dimensional chaos? Naturally. Forbidden attraction? Oh, absolutely!
Jericha Brown is used to being the boss. AS the fierce, no-nonsense head of her own security firm, she's just landed the contract of a lifetime—until her lead agent walks out, taking half of the team with him. What a jerk!
With her reputation and business on the line, Jericha does the unthinkable: reaches out to a former frenemy for help.
But to Jericha's surprise, little miss Steal a Dream sold her business—and her contacts—to an infuriatingly smug (and dangerously hot) newcomer named Raymond Statton. Desperate, Jericha hires him as a temporary sub-contractor, only to uncover a secret that flips her world upside down: Raymond is a Shadow Walker, a rare and powerful being who can slip between dimensions.
It's shocking, sure…but Jericha's got her own magical skeletons in the closet, and when their secrets (and maybe a few clothing items) start flying, things get messy fast. Like, flaming-sword-in-the-office and surprise-demons-on-the-rooftop kind of way.
Witty, wild, and a little bit wicked—this is what happens when enemies-to-lovers meets magical workplace comedy and nobody reads the HR manual."
