Ana Knight is a British mafia darling. As the high society stepdaughter to the leader of a well-known syndicate, she lives a lavish life. Until it all comes crashing down. When her entire family is seemingly wiped out in one fell swoop, she only has one place to turn. The Morettis. The honorable Italian mafia is home to her best friend, Jade, and her nine brothers. The formidable family takes her in without hesitation, vowing to protect her and exact vengeance on her behalf. The only caveat? A marriage to seal the deal.

All Hanna Heikkinen wants is to be reunited with her father again. After all, that's why she ventured into the dark and dangerous fantasy world of Tuonela, the Land of the Dead, in order to save his life. But this time her devotion to her father comes at a cost—her growing relationship with Tuoni, the God of Death himself, who held Hanna captive in exchange for her father's life. The last thing she expects is to feel remorse, yet the dark and sexy God is all she can think about.

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.

When I left Sanctuary in a cloud of glitter, I thought I knew exactly who I was. But in the Celestial Realm, it's clear I had it wrong. And so did everyone else. According to the shiniest of all the Celestials, I'm something new and unexpected. To my surprise, I also have a family. But their warm, naked welcome won't matter, because I may have left a part of my soul back in Sanctuary, and I'm fading fast.

Most of the Akrellians now living on Earth after saving humanity from an alien invasion are super polite. The red-scaled, black-quilled behemoth living next door is a notable exception, and he doesn't bother to return my enthusiastic greeting with anything more than an impatient growl. But I know the secret to making friends, and that secret is a dozen red velvet cupcakes with cute monster faces on them, just in time for Halloween. The grumpy, smoldering volcano of a male might pretend he's not interested in my offering, but he can't resist my sweet treats for long.

Sell over a million dollars of programmable hover vacs in a month, get a hefty commission check, and win an all-expenses paid trip to Ubaid Space Station. I came for the extraterrestrial experience, not the poorly cooked chicken parmesan in the Earth-centric resort restaurant. So, who can blame me if I slip my leash by bribing the tour guide to let me escape yet another mind-numbingly boring museum trip? I end up in a bar in the most dangerous sector of the Leisure Ring. I also meet the extraterrestrial of my dreams—at least, he can be for the remainder of my vacation.

Welcome to Honey Creek, Illinois, where life was as sweet as the town's name suggested. That was until Mr. Fine Dining himself, Alex Ramírez, rolled into town with a permanent scowl. Even worse, he decided to park his snooty five-star restaurant across from my cozy dog daycare. He was tall, dark, and about as warm as a frozen entrée. After one too many unpleasant interactions, I was determined to stay out of his way and to keep him out of mine. But fate had a quirky sense of humor.

I'm the girl who always does what she's supposed to do. Some might call me a perfectionist, but it's because I'm trying to make my parents proud. My life has been planned since birth and I never questioned it. Not until the day I'm kidnapped, and I see just how sheltered I've been.

I never imagined that manifesting my dream man into my life would include being abducted, sold at auction, abandoned on an alien planet, and almost getting eaten by jungle monsters—but here we are! When a huge, winged, possessive alien swoops in to save me from the horrors of this planet, I can tell he's just as curious about me as I am about him. And, while Ezryk manages to learn some of my language, the way he looks at me says more than any words in the galaxy possibly could.

So let me get this straight . . . I've been abducted in my sleep, thrown into a stasis pod and now this huge, winged warrior guy is rescuing me and telling me I'm his 'mate' because he saw me in his dreams? Aloryk is everything I've ever wanted in a man—plus a few added extras. He's devoted, a good listener, sculpted like a Greek God, and seems to love all my curves even though he doesn't quite know what to do with them. He says I'm the female he dreams of. But what if that's all it is, just a dumb dream?

All Dr. Eden Mori wanted was to expand her horizons on the galaxy's largest space station, but when the only way to stop a black market sale of dangerous medical schematics is to get close to the data dealer, she's tasked with stopping him. Her partner on this mission? The dealer's estranged, hot-tempered mate. Can she reunite the pair and stop the exchange without getting her heart crushed in the process?

When mortal Hanna agreed to marry Tuoni, the God of Death, in exchange for her father's life, the last thing she expected was to fall for the morally grey anti-hero. But it's not only her heart that's in danger now. As she navigates her new role as the Goddess of Death in the spooky and macabre underworld of Tuonela, Hanna discovers that Death has many enemies in his kingdom, none more powerful than his half-demon ex-wife, Louhi.

Da'vi, the relentless. Da'vi, the cold and harsh. The alien who keeps his distance, yet never fails to bicker with me over the smallest details. Tension between us is coiled so tight it's bound to snap . . . and I'm bound to do what I always do-leave. There are a hundred different reasons I should go, yet I'm drawn in by the only thing that matters to me anymore-and it's certainly NOT Da'vi's friendship. I'm talking about saving humans.

I've loved only two men in my life. My grandfather: my namesake and the man who raised me. And him. The small-town boy who's too cocky and arrogant for his own good. The heartthrob every girl we knew wanted. But while they only dreamed of getting close to him, I knew his heart. His truth. His secrets. While they wanted him physically, I had him in every way that mattered. A series of first things that change a person forever: my first kiss, the first person I gave myself to—my first love.

My whole life is meticulously planned out in the pages of my notebook. But I couldn't have planned to be on the front page of a magazine with Lucas Silva, a well-known model, holding me in his arms. Now I have to decide whether to sacrifice my one chance at landing my dream job or take my chances fooling the press as Lucas' supposed girlfriend. The rules are simple: no dating other people, no kissing, and no falling in love. But the more time I spend with him, the more the rules blur until I can't remember why I'm trying so hard not to give in.

I'm the girl who was always too shy to be the center of attention. I hid behind books, doing all the things a good girl should. Perfect grades. Perfect friends. Perfect life, even if I was lonely. Too bad none of it mattered after I was kidnapped.

Jake is a giant with the strength to handle my curves and the sweetness to write love songs. He likes it when I push him, wondering if he'll pin me against the wall and break—again. For years we resisted. He's too loyal to my brother and my parents, who treat him like a son. To make matters worse, I'm his boss, so we shouldn't pursue it. Until too many hours alone planning his upcoming promotion and a family event make us forget all about rules. Soon we can't keep our hands off each other. When I hear the songs he wrote about me? I'm done for.

Dr. Darya Zameeni doesn't have time for interruptions—in her ER, or in her life. Especially not from the gorgeous man pacing in her waiting room. With mountains of student debt, an ailing mother, and a younger sister to support, Darya can't afford to get sidetracked, even though they can't take their eyes off each other. Disillusioned Grammy-winning rock star Anthony Castillo's night wasn't supposed to end like this—in the ER, panicked after his little brother's sudden collapse on stage. The band can't go back on tour without Carlos, but his brother needs constant medical attention. 

I'm the girl who was always the life of the party, but never the one you wanted to take home at the end of the night. After a long string of screw-ups, I found myself working undercover at the Devil's Regents MC headquarters. It was a sweet gig where I finally felt like I belonged. Too bad it didn't last. Now I'm out on my butt with no place to go.
