Camping? Who likes to go camping? “C’mon, it’ll be fun,” he said. So here I am. Stuck in the middle of the Blackwater River State Forest with no cell service or running water, with Ryan, my camp-loving boyfriend. Alone. Or, I thought so, until I caught one of our neighbors watching us. Ryan doesn’t seem concerned about it when the stranger invites us back to their RV. Yes, THEIR RV. AJ, Jared, Cora, and Georgia. They all seem nice… at first. Strange things keep happening. Hopefully we get service soon.

When a flaming dead body drops out of the town Christmas tree and crashes through your ceiling, it’s safe to say this Christmas will not be merry or bright. Now my crazy ex-best friend is telling everyone in town I killed Dr. Merriweather. Yes, he’s her therapist. Yes, they were having an affair. No, I don’t know why everyone in our Christmas crazy small town thinks I’m suspect number one. She even hired a private eye. Like…hello? Insane?

I thought I'd finally learned the truth about everything–but it turns out, that was just the beginning. Love might span universes, but so does hate. A love that spans the universe. A second chance at romance. A secret she can't remember that could tear them apart. Again. Are you ready to enter...

I’ve been keeping secrets from my boss. I have to. Because how the hell do you tell a straight man that you’ve been in love with him for years? If he found out, everything would collapse, and I’ve worked so hard to hold my life together, all these pieces that I don’t deserve: a home, a position, trust. But it’s only getting harder because he keeps watching me, keeps touching me—and I can’t handle it. I try to tell myself that it’s in my head, but it’s not. Something’s changed between us, and I don’t understand.

For years, I've kept myself safe from my small pack's males, hiding in sewers and sleeping in trees to keep their teeth out of my neck. They don't really want me, just the power and prestige that comes with winning the hunt. I only want to survive. In three days, at the Enforcer Games, I'll have one chance to escape. But when the Games begin, and the most powerful shifters in the world arrive at my packlands and scent me, a new hunt begins.

Everything I've known is a lie–except for the love I have for my soulmate, Wes, and his pack. Ghosts of the past threaten the pack and the life I'm starting to make for myself in a world that isn't mine. As I unravel the truth about my past–and myself–it could change everything. My love for Wes might span the universe, but is it enough? A love that spans the universe. A second chance at romance. A secret she can't remember that could tear them apart. Again.

Some people come to the city of sin for gambling and partying—I did one better and left as Mrs. Travis Bennett. My annoyingly handsome and charming neighbor has been asking me out for weeks. After nearly costing me my gymnastics career, I've tried to stay far away from the hot, cocky hockey player. And now I'm legally bound to him. When the media gets wind of our whirlwind romance, we agree to stay married until my season starts to avoid a PR nightmare. I think it's a mistake. He thinks it's fate. And he's doing everything he can to prove me wrong.

I came to Driftwood Cove to outrun the grief, the failure, and the girl I used to be. Six murals. Six paychecks. A quiet coastal town far from the chaos of Memphis. But Driftwood Cove has a way of pulling you in. And so do the men I never saw coming. Shepard—the broody librarian who makes stillness feel like safety. Gabe—the grumpy firefighter who reminds me what it means to fight. Boone—the golden retriever paramedic who makes me laugh when I've forgotten how. I told myself I didn't need anyone, that I couldn't be anyone's Omega again.

Inheriting the Everhart Inn was never part of my plan, but here I am—back in Twilight Harbor, staring down the past I ran from. And the first people I run into… Ethan was my first love. My biggest mistake. He's bigger, broodier, and even more gorgeous than I remember. Tyler is the reformed bad boy with a cocky grin and hands that can fix everything. And Brodie is the man who unravels me with a single look—and everything an Omega dreams of.

When I was young, I often dreamt of an alpha boy. With him, I belonged. I was important. Loved. We were going to marry and be together. Once I actually figured out how to get to him. But that was years ago and the foolish fantasies of a lonely teenager. Parallel worlds were only a theory. Alpha males were assholes who wanted to get their way. Soulmates were just stories for children. Then everything changed. One morning, I woke up on a park bench, unable to remember my name or how I got there. There was something not quite right about this place–and clearly I don't belong here.

Family is everything. I’m the sweet and innocent good girl. I have a goal, a plan. And refuse to be distracted. That is… until I meet him. The gorgeous man who’s covered in tattoos and an expensive suit. Immediately ensnared by his piercing icy-blue eyes, I decide to do something just for me. One night. Then, it’s back to my plan to do right by my family. But I never expected to fall hard and fast. Nor did I expect the truth—about his family or the horrifying dangers coming for me—to shatter everything.

Six weeks. That's how long my editor gave me to change my book from a baseball romance to one about hockey. A complete rewrite. Which is how I find myself in Montana, a thousand miles from home, researching hockey, and preparing to meet a local expert. There's one small problem. Or rather a big one. A big, grumpy problem. My expert is none other than Nick Galaxy—the single dad and hockey captain I ran into minutes after landing in Montana and made a… well, let's just say I didn't make the best first impression. Neither did he, for that matter.

As king of the ice giants, I must have heirs. But our customs do not satisfy me. I do not want a giantess who will bear me a child and then leave to be with another. I would much rather pursue a union the human way: find a partner who will share my bed, bear my children, and stay by my side. Until death do us part.

When Rafe and Grant came into my life, it felt like a fairy tale. Two of Hollywood's hottest stars are noticing me? The writer who was practically a hermit and scared of everyone? The woman who hid away in books and had never been in love? Unreal. I never realized the men I was in awe of shared a deadly secret and wanted to share one more thing—me. The woman I was before is gone, and it's far too late to get away from my villains. They're obsessed. Even if I begged, my men would keep me bound to them, and the sick thing is that's just how I want it.

Bound to a bell and cursed by a debt he could never repay, Raziel thought his fate was sealed. But luck finds him the day he's asked to save an infant's life. Tying his fractured soul to the child was his only way to break free. Now, years later, he's come to claim what is rightfully his. But claiming her won't be easy. Not only is Nasiah engaged, but Raziel has made enemies, and one of them wants to destroy him. Portals in his district are under attack, demons are after his mate, and an unseen force lurks in the dark, waiting to strike.

I didn't plan to ever attend an event, but I needed the money. I thought it was nothing more than an adult version of hide-and-seek. I had no idea how wrong I was. Nor did I know I’d meet my worst nightmare that night: Andrew “Drew” Marshall, popular-as-hell football star and a Greek god among mere mortals. To anyone else, he would appear to be normal, a good guy. But that night I saw the cruel, dark monster hidden underneath. He was the epitome of evil, the leader of the Disciples, and I was his newest obsession.

I'll do anything to stay on campus for the summer, including live with my ex's brother. The grumpy hockey star who hates me. Kicked out by my spiteful ex was supposed to be my rock bottom but I found a new one. Working for my college's hockey team in exchange for free housing. And having to live...

You know when you see that big red flag, and you think to yourself, I should probably not go anywhere near there? Yeah, Quincy Carter ignored that big red flag. He walked right up to that red flag, waving blatantly in the wind, and kissed the holy hell out of her. Sure, he probably should've arrested her for breaking a restraining order. He probably also should've stopped her from continuing to break that restraining order. Yet he can't.

For years, I've lived as a broken shell of a man, the Prom Night survivor who doesn't deserve to live. I continue my stolen life for my family's sake, but my silent world is a dark one full of terrors, with no respite to be found anywhere. Then Liaden comes along. She's my polar opposite. An extroverted, highly successful professor, always smiling, always a sparkling ray of quirky pink sunshine. This woman makes me feel things I never even felt with the girl I lost. The girl who died in my arms many years ago when the world exploded around us.

My name is Kit Salazar, and all of my dreams just came true. I'm a romance writer, and my debut novel is going to be the summer's hottest movie for two very big reasons: Rafe Burdock and Grant Stone. They're Hollywood's hottest actors. Any project they take on turns to gold, and, somehow, they're starring in a movie based on my book.
