Fate was a fickle mistress.She gave Sophie immortality, magic, and a great tolerance for whisky.She also made sure Sophie tasted death, made sure it clung to her bones, sank into her marrow.She gave Sophie power that came from death and brought death with it.Her own.And everyone she knew and loved.If she didn’t learn to control it, that was.She had been meaning to pencil it in, but the apocalypse … pencil it in, but the apocalypse had been licking at her combat boots and she got busy.But she was kicking magical butt, because she was awesome.Then the witch discovered the one…

My name’s Rosie and I come from a dynasty of sorts… the Sons of Templar, maybe you’ve heard of them.I just happen to be the daughter of one of the founding members and am the sister of the current president.The fact I’m a woman means I don’t wear the patch, but it’ll never change the fact that I’m a Templar by blood.We’re known as royalty in the outlaw world. Though, the dynasty is dancing on the … the dynasty is dancing on the right side of the law these days.That doesn’t mean that the law and those who enforce it…

Trapped in a cage, Elizabeth awaits punishment at the hands of a professional assassin — but his desires burn hot for her… A dark, intense romance!

Gina:Freshly brewed tea. Earl Grey, loose leaf.Rain on the windowsills. The smell of library books. Escape into worlds greater than this.Solitude.Invisibility.A quiet life. Maybe boring, but boring was never dangerous. Until I saw what I was missing out on. Who I was missing out on. The man who shattered my boring, safe life and lay it to ruin.The man I’d been in love with since I was a teenager. … with since I was a teenager. Who I’d been invisible to since I was a teenager.The man who just happened to be a world-famous rock star.Sam:Whisky. Neat. Leave the bottle.Crowd…

My life was never black and white.Heck, it wasn’t even black, white and gray.Lines were not drawn between good and evil, and if they were, I would have jumped those suckers for fun.But now it was simpler. It wasn’t black and white. Or gray. It was only one thing.Blood.A crimson-tinted world. That was all I needed.All I wanted.Him.Despite the war raging around us, or the secrets between us, there … us, or the secrets between us, there was nothing simpler than blood.It didn’t matter that it would be fatal.After all, it’s the things we’re not undead without that will kill…

There’s a phrase: Still waters run deep.But there’s more to it than that.Because “still” doesn’t denote peace. Nor calm. Nor happiness.It’s an illusion. It’s chaos.The only way to handle chaos is to become it.That’s what Lucy did. She created stillness out of the chaos tumbling inside her and called the most chaotic motorcycle club in the United States her family.The Sons of Templar gave her … her family.The Sons of Templar gave her chaos, friendship, family, danger and death.But she wouldn’t want it any other way.Then he came. The one who showed her that her handle on chaos was tumultuous…

I may be the villain of the story, but at least I get a leading role.Evil is a term thrown around history and literature as if it’s something so easily definable. A concept to fight against.Evil doesn’t exist.Neither does ‘good.’Vampires do, though.I just happen to be one.I’ve cruised through the centuries managing to avoid all the wars, supernatural and human, but still going to all the best … still going to all the best parties.I would say I avoided bloodshed, but it’s kind of part of the whole ‘vampire’ thing.I’ve lived on the fringes of a society that considered cruelty…

This isn’t a fairy tale. I’ll save you the trouble by telling you that now.This is the tale of a girl who spent her life bouncing around foster homes, who had her innocence stolen in the darkness before she knew it was something that could be lost. Her demons followed her everywhere, after that night. They chased her to the medical school she dropped out of, to the strip club she sold herself in, … herself in, and finally caught her in a river of sin where they tried to drown her.My name is Bex and this is my story.I’m…

Love can be a beautiful thing.It can fill up your life with the warmth of its embrace and spread to every corner of your mind.It can quiet your soul.But when that love turns wrong, it twists and warps into something bitter and unrecognizable.The pain of it promises unyielding noise in place of that half-remembered silence.Lexie has lived with this pain for four years, pouring it into music that … pouring it into music that transformed Unquiet Mind into the most famous rock band in the world.But fame can also turn ugly, curl into that bitter version of love and endanger…
