I couldn’t tell you when I fell in love with Gael Herrera, but I wish I knew how to make it stop.

Falling in love with a straight man is a rookie mistake. But falling in love with my soon-to-be-married-to-a-woman best friend is nothing but heartache.

Through all the years, and all the men I’ve fooled around with, he’s always been at the back of my mind. An unrequited crush I wish I could shake. A dream that was never going to come true.

When I whisk him off to a surprise bachelor party weekend in Vegas, I surrender to the idea that this is an opportunity for me to finally let go of my feelings for him and say goodbye.

But after a heated exchange and an even hotter kiss, everything I thought I knew about our friendship changed.

Maybe I had it wrong. Maybe, after all this time, we were more than best friends. Maybe, just maybe, he felt it too.

Magic is a rare gift, one only made possible by an invaluable stone: magiline. After he was tasked with his first official assignment, Dominai and his fellow wizards must now travel to the Crux’s sister tower in Immenbach to deliver a shipment of it.

But the road is full of trials and dangers, and not just because Thaddius’ bullying has escalated into something worse. Dominai is having strange dreams, hearing a mysterious voice that passes on a dire warning. A shadow lays over the Eastern Tower, and it will be up to Dominai and his fellow wizards to shed light on the situation and escape to tell the tale.

Left behind at the Crux, Olbric is facing his own battles. His father has threatened to disown him for being who he is. Fearing for his mother and sister’s safety, Olbric must work with Arlon to create a spell that can get them to safety if the worst happens. Yet confidential and personal information about Olbric continues to leak out of the Crux and into the Cairish ambassador’s ear. And Ambassador Feisal seems willing to stop at nothing to force Olbric home.

A storm is building, one that has the potential to destroy the balance of peace across the entire continent.

From USA Today Bestselling author Marley Valentine comes her debut, bisexual awakening, age gap, sapphic romance.

At twenty-four, I’d already lived a thousand lives.
I was a daughter.
An orphan.
A foster kid.
A sister.

Someone to everyone, and yet I was unrecognizable to myself. I spent my time keeping everybody else afloat, while I was slowly drowning.

Until I met her.

The first time she walked into my life, I was mesmerized by the mysterious stranger. When I came face-to-face with her a second time, I was being introduced to my best friend’s mother.

We were worlds and experiences apart, unlikely in every sense of the word.

Everything between us was unexpected. Our attraction to one another, the secrets I shared, and the cracked pieces of her I so badly wanted to put back together.

We broke.
We healed.
We loved.
Desperately.

But I didn’t know how to love her without losing myself, and if she discovered the cost, I knew she wouldn’t let me.

She thought her mom’s shifter blood had passed her by. Tossed into the deep end of amystical realm, will she survive the hot and heavy glamour?

What happened on Halloween night so very long ago?

A town left cursed, a brotherhood of villains formed, and a devil’s watchful gaze upon their every move. Now that The Halloween Boys have found their mate, forces beyond their control threaten to tear apart what they’ve each worked so hard to build. A wolf in sheep's clothing, a devil in disguise. But as the air turns crisp, ushering in a fall breeze, one thing is clear:

Halloween has come to Ash Grove again at last.

Blythe is thrust into hell and confronted head on with the mysteries of who she is and what she wants. The guys must battle the underworld of lore and the hell of their own making in their quest to retrieve her.

All the while the one who you forgot, the one who slips your mind, the one who has never stopped watching and waiting so patiently… The Devil himself has come to collect and make good on every bargain and riddle he’s woven through books and years. And he’s not changing his mind. There are debts to be paid and mysteries ready to be solved.

Yes, my friends, Halloween has come to Ash Grove again, the pumpkins are lit, and Hallows Fest begins anew.

Who’s afraid of the big bad wolf?

Continue the journey with the international bestselling series The Halloween Boys. Wolf is a little red riding hood reimagining packed with occult legend, lore, and spice.

WOLF

My sights set on her the moment she drove into town.

From the moment her darling aroma invaded my senses, Blythe was mine. I’d watched her silently, I’d allowed Ghost his time, I’d supported Onyx through his turmoil. All the while the sleeping alpha raged inside me, wanting to make her his in every way. But how could I let him out when he was so at odds with her sweet, gentle giant, Wolfgang Jack?

My alpha was wild, untamed, and so… so hungry.

When my community is in shambles and Fenrir pack needs me to rise up to the challenge, can I do that while reconciling the beast within?

Little Red Riding Hood is walking through my forest now.
And she won’t escape me this time.

Blythe

Running, always running.

Afraid of the darkness that haunts me, fleeing my past, always at the mercy of whatever grabs me in the night. The Halloween Boys had given me safety, security, and more love and passion than I’d ever imagined.

But now Wolf needs me and it’s time to learn how to be his luna. The women of Fenrir lead their pack with strength and grace. They don’t cower, they hunt.

If I run now, it’ll be because I want to. If I run now, it’ll be because I want to be caught.

And now I’m ready for his claws and teeth.

Onyx

I knew that my first betrayal should be swift and long-earned.

Ghost underestimated me. Judas likely didn't think of me at all. Wolf pitied me. To them, I was a peculiar jokester, a shameless flirt, and a restless musician. Brothers and lovers often trivialized the gifts of their counterparts.

Oh, he'd never do that to me. He's a good guy.

Always wrong.

I'd been biding my time. My initial foray back into the world of monsters, released from my small-town prison cell, would have to be big. They'd have to never see it coming for it to work. And they didn't.

Then there was Blythe. This darling little creature of death that came sulking into a diner with no money and only fear so strong it took my breath away.

I couldn't ignore her, I couldn't get her out of my head . . . and I couldn't forget that she was mine.

Blythe

I was running again.

Except for this time instead of running from my past, I was running from home, running from myself. Maybe I'd find something on this journey that would help me know what to do. The Story Keeper's ship had a navigator . . . I found myself wishing I had one, too.

It didn't help my confusion that something about Onyx was screaming at me for attention. I was attracted to him, it would be impossible not to be. There were witches claiming we were all mated, The Halloween Boys and me. I couldn't help the pull of Onyx's emerald stare, or the way my heart beat faster just wondering what he'd say next.

Onyx Hart was sharp and charming . . . though there was something else. There was something else under his so carefully crafted surface that I'd yet to uncover. And I really wanted to uncover it.

But how could I slay part vampire and part dragon without getting bitten and burnt to a crisp?

Ash Grove is a fine place to die.

Ames
I wanted to shake her and scream, "You don't have to be afraid anymore, you have me."
And then chain her to my bed and yell, "You should be very afraid now that you have me."
I inhabited a form that was what every legend and dark tale warned little girls like her about.
I'd slaughtered a thousand times over and I'd do so a thousand more.
But the worst thing I'd ever do... would be what I did to her.

Blythe
If kept running, I wouldn't break. If I kept hiding, I wouldn't cry.
If I kept moving he wouldn't find me.
Running from an impossible evil landed me between the claws of something ancient and horrifying. I went to the masquerade as a fox. How ironic, because I didn't feel clever, sly or brave. I was a wounded rabbit waiting for teeth.
And more than one set of fangs found me.
The worst part of all?
I liked it.

Bloody decadence...

The definition of marriage: Two people and their silver-haired vampire.

In 1924, Paris is a bastion of sexual freedom, even for shell-shocked Leon Laflamme, the most dramatic blond this side of the Seine. After years of loneliness and secrecy, he's married the clever and sumptuous burlesque dancer Claire. However, Leon truly finds liberation when he meets the stoic, intriguing, and silver-haired Count Matthias, who offers true freedom in his dark gift: immortality.

“He is my gift to you, this Yule’s Eve. Shall you accept him from me?”

In a world of orcs and powerful men, Lydia is a shy, widowed washerwoman, forgotten and alone — until the day the orc drops in, with a full sack of laundry on his back.

He’s tall, rangy, and utterly confounding, with his silver hair, his deep jolly laugh, and his twinkling, coal-black eyes. And when he offers to bring Lydia great joy, it’s a gift that just keeps giving, drawing her ever deeper into his wicked, wondrous charms…

At least, until he invites her to spend Yule at his cozy, candlelit cabin. And when Lydia arrives, he offers her a brand-new gift, wrapped in a pretty red bow…

Another orc.
A stranger.
For her… merriment.

And he’s the biggest, most terrifying monster she’s ever seen in her life.

Will Lydia refuse her hideous gift, and run alone into the cold winter’s night? Or can she find joy with a monster… or maybe even a home?

Nothing says welcome to your dream University like dead bodies and a warning to stay in my lane.

It’s almost impossible to get into Winter Grove University, so when I’m accepted on scholarship, I know my life will change for the better. Or will it?

When an alpha starts harassing me to join his pack, I’m left with no choice but to tell him I belong to another. The thing is, I name drop the richest, most notorious pack on campus.

Dorian, Foster, and August aren’t happy when they find out, and the tension between us grows. These vile boys know how to hold a grudge, but when I’m forced to spend time with them, I can’t stop the connection that’s growing between us.

With a killer closer than we thought, will I lose everything I’ve ever wanted or will I become the omega I never thought I could be?

I thought I’d feel broken after what happened.

Turns out killing the man who hurt me changed that.

When I’m back at school for my last few weeks of college, I find normalcy for the first time in months. Despite getting comfortable, I can’t give Rook and Oliver the answer they so clearly want, even if it’s not the one they want to hear.

They have to understand it’s not that easy.

Don’t they?

But following them across the country brings more than just new house problems and adjusting to their lifestyle. Issues from not so long ago come to light, and I realize I’m not as normal as I’d hoped to be, after killing my professor for what he did to me.

With a new ‘friend’ who offers me the help I need and Rook keeping secrets that prove he doesn’t trust me, it’s hard to rely on anyone for answers. Especially when old urges creep up my spine and I start looking for reasons to hurt someone for what I’ve seen him do.

When I’m no longer able to attribute my urges to an external predator, I’m forced to confront a terrifying possibility.

Maybe I’ve always been more like them than I thought

Pretty Little Monster is the third and final book in the pretty obsessions trilogy. It includes MMF, MFM, MM, and mature, murderous content.

TROY

Sometimes I want to punch that smirk off Atlas McCallister's pretty face.

He's cocky. A troublemaker. A pain.

And, unfortunately, my stepbrother.

We've been fire and kerosene since our parents got together, and to keep from exploding into fistfights, we've used challenges, dares, and bets to battle out our differences.

Our past bets have been a little inappropriate—scandalous, even—but Atlas's latest bet has gone too far.

Do I really believe if he loses, my straight stepbrother is gonna mess around with a guy? And not just any guy: me, his rival and nemesis?

Not a chance.

But if he's so confident he's gonna win...well, my big stepbro must not know me as well as he thinks...

ATLAS

I love getting under Troy's skin.

Mr. Former Prom King. Mr. Heartthrob. Mr. Infuriatingly Perfect. Messing with him is too easy. Too fun. Maybe that's why I'm a little obsessed with him.

Our latest bet is the perfect way for me to test the bisexual waters, and once I dive headfirst into the deep end, I don't want to stop.

With Troy. My stepbro.

It was supposed to be just a little fun, yet with each touch, I like him more than I should. It wasn't supposed to go this far. Now I want Troy to be all mine.

But what we're doing has bigger consequences than our little step bet, and when the stakes are this high, is it worth gambling our hearts when we know this is a game we both could lose?

This is the first book in the Peach State Stepbros Series. It can be read as a standalone.

Trigger Warning: The Step Bet is a steamy romance, but one of the secondary characters struggles with addiction. This may act as a trigger for some readers.

He’ll do anything for his wounded warrior… even wooing him a widow.

In a world of orcs and men, Lady Scall is a widow besieged — by her debts, her demons, and her dangerous lord Neighbour. But time is running out, and she’s about to lose everything…

Until the night an orc shows up in her chambers.

Killik is a cold, cruel, condescending spy, and he wants nothing to do with Lady Scall… for himself.

But he’s decided she’s the perfect woman for his clanmate. For Ulfarr, the Wolf of Clan Skai.

And Ulfarr isn’t just any orc. He’s a huge, broken, brutal monster with a dark, deadly past…

And Killik wants Lady Scall to help Ulfarr.
To heal Ulfarr.
To handle Ulfarr however she pleases…

In return, Killik will solve all her problems — and he’ll teach her how to tend and tame an orc. And maybe, if she behaves, he’ll fulfill all her own deepest longings, too…

But even a desperate, lonely widow shouldn’t risk such a scandalous affair, right? Especially when Ulfarr’s secrets are darker than she ever imagined, and Killik far more jealous than she knew…

And a deal with two devils might draw more doom to her door… and her heart.

Steamy, hot and spicy - this is an adventure across the stars that will get your heart pumping. This series contains all four books by Morgan Hawke.

• Victorious Star
• Fallen Star
• Lost Star
• Fortunes Star

Start your journey with Victorious Star: In the heart of the Imperial Stars, past and future collide, as ghosts converge in battle for a fortune teller’s soul...on Port Destiny Station.

Luxi Emery was perfectly happy with her position as the receptionist for Armored Media Corp. Then her hidden talent for seeing the future awakened--and exposed a blackmailing con-artist haunted by a malevolent ghost. It was a lose-lose situation, and Luxi had only a single shred of hope.

Her future awaits on Port Destiny Station. A future intertwined with Amun, the handsome diplomatic telepath, and Leto, a ghost-haunted cyborg with very human carnal appetites. If they can resolve a few...intimate...details. Yet a darker future chases Luxi: they are not alone, and Leto is not the only hungry ghost.

Lenora made a mistake. She trusted the wrong man, and in a moment of weakness, he stole a family heirloom from her. Her only chance to get it back will be during Samhain, when the Shadow Market opens and magical folk gather for three days to celebrate, and unfortunately she can’t do it alone. She needs a demon.

Ramanu’s entire existence is making bargains. They’re a bargainer demon, after all. They’ve had their eye on Lenora for some time now, so they’re pleased when she summons them to help with her little thief problem…especially because it means spending time in close proximity with her.

Lenora thought she could get away with a bargain that didn’t require seven years of service, but when Ramanu informs her those are the terms, she decides to go it alone…even though the demon wants to tag along to the market. But as the clock ticks down and all Lenora’s attempts to reclaim her amulet fail, making a deal with Ramanu might be the only option she has…

And they might take her heart right along with her soul.

Belladonna was born wrong. At least that’s what her parents, religious community, and even her beloved sister believe. Walking away from the church hasn’t helped her come to terms with her purpose in life, and when her sister is diagnosed with cancer, Belladonna has nowhere to turn…until a demon offers her a deal.

After agreeing, nothing is like she expects. There’s no fiery hell to speak of. Her soul seems to still be her own. All she’s required to do is serve. When she’s auctioned off to Rusalka, a powerful and ruthless succubus, her confusion only grows. Rusalka surprises her at every turn, even refusing to allow Belladonna to bear a child that would benefit the entirety of their territory.

Rusalka has sacrificed everything for their people. There are no lengths they won’t go to as leader…but they see something of themself in Belladonna, a familiarity that tempts beyond anything they could have dreamed. They want to keep her.

But if Belladonna can’t release her shame and step into a future where she’s living for herself instead of in service to others… Things may be over even before they begin.

No one with half a brain would rob the jungle’s most notorious energy cartel.

 The vibrations of their power-producing stones are the only thing that calms the mer-snake Cacao’s agonizing sensory condition though—and after being banished from his homeland swamps for similar thefts, he’s desperate.

When his attempt fails stunningly, a chaotic escape leaves him chained to a cartel prisoner: a self-proclaimed hero with a hidden stash of power stones so large, Cacao would never need to steal again. He’s determined to get his hands on it, even if it means guiding her home straight through the mist-laden and monster-filled swamp that exiled him, with scheming poachers and a desperate cartel leader on their tail.

But the selfish and the self-righteous can only flee together for so long before something snaps...

Rubem has become the voice of the auroras—or their rage, at least.

Between his threats and Tavish’s diplomacy, they’ve convinced most of the world that the auroras can be saved through the return of their ignits. But pockets of denial and refusal linger, including in the Findlay’s old trading partner, a city who has completely ignored Tavish’s attempts at contact. With a cat on their back and apprehension in their step, Rubem and Tavish set out to confront them directly.

They arrive to a metropolis of watery channels and balconies on the verge of collapse, the once glorious city now overwhelmed the sea monsters that snap at their front doors. Only their dying aurora’s song keeps the dangerous creatures at bay, but with apocalyptic prophecies running wild and the government split into stubborn factions, Rubem quickly realizes that someone wants the city destroyed. Whoever they are, they’re willing to destroy its aurora protector to do it. And Rubem is the only person standing in their way.

But amidst the chaos, the Findlay’s past involvement with the city comes to light in ways Rubem never expected—and Tavish wants nothing to do with—adding grudges, broken hearts, and freckle-faced pre-teens on Rubem’s list of problems. As those intent on destroying the city and its aurora grow more threatening, Rubem seems always one step behind and never quite strong enough.

And he’s growing weaker by the day…
