Fairy tales and reality are concepts so different from one another, they shouldn’t exist in the same world. The story in which the maid defies her stepmother, goes to the ball, and dances with the prince isn’t how real life works. For Della Lambert, real life is disappointing.

Our worlds should have never collided, but they did. We went from a near-death experience to indifference, from indifference to hate and from hate to... to something I never would have imagined. She changed my life and then she disappeared. I guess nearly dying in my arms scared her too much, and she couldn't come back from that. I was scared too. I still have nightmares about losing her, but this... this is worse than all my nightmares put together. Losing her is breaking me. Without her I am constantly suffocating. But how can I get her back, when she won't even talk to me? When she won't even tell me what I did? Save Me is a companion book to Lose Me, written from the point of view of everyone's favorite British movie star, Wes Spencer. It's a new story.

Love. It’s something I never wanted and decided I’d never have. Love nearly killed my mother. It devastated and destroyed her. I promised myself I’d never be captured or ensnared like she was. Love deceives. It isn’t genuine. It doesn’t last. It’s just poison…a silent killer. The one taste I got nearly killed me but I was fortunate enough to escape it. But then I met him, and love didn’t just catch me. I collided with it.

A city simmering with repressed urges… A fallen angel bent on chaos… And a conspiracy that could destroy them all. Can one woman harness her own psychic power to stop it? In a world with three layers of ever darker magic, few dare to wield the most dangerous. And those who try can fall prey to violent madness. The Church keeps a tight leash on its citizens. It tests every child for psychological deviancy. If you pass, you're given a Mark. A tattoo that lets you use the ley power—and shields you from your most primal desires. For the lucky ones, the world is at their feet. The rest suffer a life of menial jobs and hopelessness. When tarot reader Kasia crosses paths with a young priest who hunts deviants, her own ugly secret is dragged into the light. Will they learn to trust each other in time to stop a greater evil from corrupting their world? You’ll love the first book in this epic fantasy series because the lush weaving of intrigue, action and slow-burn romance will keep you on the edge of your seat.

When the local authorities ask Ruby Simpson to help them find a thief in the small town of Castle Cove, she doesn’t have much of a choice. She predicted the most recent theft, and the cops have no other leads. There are just two small problems. One, she’s not psychic. Two, she’s not Ruby Simpson. Okay, maybe they’re not small problems. But Charlotte needs a place to lay low with her younger sister, somewhere her parents won’t find her and the locals won’t ask too many questions. Getting involved with the cops, especially Deputy “Cute Butt” Jared, isn’t a smart thing for a reformed con artist to do. But Charlotte has to make a choice: raise her little sister on the right side of the law or put food on the table. What the real Ruby doesn’t see in her crystal ball won’t hurt her, right? BOOK ONE IN A THREE PART SERIES—THIS IS NOT A STAND-ALONE NOVEL!

There’s only one rule in the world I come from. Keep our existence a secret. Period. The day my sister broke that rule one too many times, I knew there would be consequences. I expected us to be sent to one of those schools for “troubled” kids—and maybe Daizlei Academy was, in a way. But really, it was far more complicated than that. You see, I thought that world had forgotten me. Forgotten us. For years we were left alone, and one day . . . we weren’t. It was only when I got there that I remembered the second rule: Trust no one. Because in our world? They would kill me if they knew the truth of what I am. Daizlei Academy is a school for Supernaturals. And me? I’m so much more. \This is a YA+ Academy series with slow-burn romance and a strong but flawed heroine. It is labeled YA(+) for stronger language and some mature situations.

My whole life, I have only dreamt of being one thing. A ballerina. From the age of three, I was obsessed with tutus, leotards, pointe shoes and everything that dancing had to offer.

Years later, I’m dancing for one of the most respected companies in the world, leaving out a dream and living the best life that I could have ever imagined. Everything was going according to how I’d mapped it out. Except… I hadn’t mapped out two little blue lines skating into my life after a one night stand. Now, there’s a possibility of me losing the dream I worked so hard to achieve. And it’s all thanks to a professional hockey player with pretty eyes and a nice smile.

It’s a magical book club! When this group chooses a book, magic happens. The mystery comes to life, and they find themselves part of the story. To exit the book and get back home, they need to solve the mystery and reach The End. This time, the club chooses a book called The Great Cake Rivalry, because, well … cake! They read the back cover and it’s unanimous. So off they go into another grand adventure into a town aptly named Frosting. Frosting is a rural town in an idyllic setting. The people live quiet lives most of the year. But in the spring, things change. The Annual Cake Competition becomes the focus of every man, woman, and child. They take this competition seriously. The cakes are spectacular. The festival is fabulous. For a week there are contests featuring all kinds of cakes. The people of the community become official tasters and vote for the winning cakes in each category. The grand finale is a display of finely decorated cakes, made by the town’s bakeries. The winner of the best design receives a prize package that would make any baker dizzy. Sadly, this event has been tainted. Once a year, each one different, but all somehow related to this event, a person is murdered. The main investigator is stumped, but that could be because he’s an inept buffoon. Can the book club help the people of this community figure out who is causing this disturbing pattern of deaths, and stop another murder from happening? Can they figure out why some of the citizens dress so oddly, and why they always wear those unique backpacks? All while they fill themselves to the brim with cake, of course.

Now he has to hire her, just to prove he's the same kid from high school—just a whole lot richer. Book 2 SIMON DIESEL, self-made billionaire doesn't give up. That determination helped him make his money. It also pushed him to be the best, to win and to also except defeat. If you never lose, how will you know you're best?

Will they find happiness? Book 3 SIMON DIESEL, billionaire extraordinaire, is being played. Either by the woman he's hopelessly in love with, or by someone he trusts. That narrows the list down significantly. There's only a handful of people Simon trusts, so it shouldn't be that hard to find the perpetrator. However, how much is he willing to risk for his company? For his heart? Will falling in love with Heather a second time be second chance or payback for the heartbreak he caused her years ago? "The harder thing to do and the right thing to do is usually the same thing." Billionaire Secrets Series: The Secret Freedom Courage Trust Impulse

In the Breakers series, humanity faces not one apocalypse, but two: first a lethal pandemic, then a war against those who made the virus. This collection includes the first three books and is over 1000 pages (350,000 words) of post-apocalyptic survival. BREAKERS (Book 1) In New York, Walt Lawson is about to lose his girlfriend Vanessa. In Los Angeles, Raymond and Mia James are about to lose their house. Within days, none of it will matter. A plague tears across the world, reducing New York to an open grave and LA to a chaotic wilderness of violence and fires. Civilization comes to an abrupt stop. Just as the survivors begin to adapt to the aftermath, Walt learns the virus that ended humanity wasn't created by humans. It was inflicted from outside. The colonists who sent it are ready to finish the job—and Earth's survivors may be too few and too weak to resist. MELT DOWN (Book 2) In upstate Idaho, Ness Hook is run out of his mom's house by his bullying brother Shawn. In Redding, California, Tristan Carter is graduating college, but with no job and no prospects, she'll have to move back in with her parents. Then the world ends: first with a virus, then with an alien invasion. Ness and Shawn take to the mountains to fight a guerrilla against the attackers. In California, Tristan and Alden are taken prisoner. Separated from her brother, Tristan crosses the ruins of America to track him down. She will stop at nothing to get Alden back—but her fellow survivors prove even more dangerous than the monsters who broke the world. KNIFEPOINT (Book 3) Raina was just a girl when the plague came. She survived. Her parents didn't. Neither did the world. As civilization fell, she took to the ruins of Los Angeles, eating whatever she could catch. After two years alone, she's found and adopted by a fisherman and his wife. Their makeshift family lives a quiet life—until a man named Karslaw sails in from Catalina Island with an army of conquerors. Driven by visions of empire, he executes Raina's new father as a traitor and takes her mother captive. But Karslaw's people aren't the only ones vying for control of the ruined land. As violence wracks the city, Raina joins a rebellion against Karslaw's rule. She will stop at nothing to free her mother—and to have her revenge.

This is an alternate cover edition for ASIN: B00OOD3LJQ Bastian had to have been the most handsome man that Katherine had ever met. It really was unfortunate that he was also the most stubborn, controlling, downright infuriating jackass she’d ever known as well. Oh, and there was the fact that he was a werewolf – a werewolf who has bitten her. Sixteen-year-old Katherine Mayes had never believed in mythological creatures like werewolves or mermaids – certainly not those sparkly vampires that her friend Abby was obsessed with. Even when she’s bitten by a massive animal after a reckless night of teenage adventure and her body begins to change in mystifying ways, she can’t force herself to believe in what she’s convinced is impossible. Little does she realize she’s been infected with a disease a little more permanent than the rabies she feels fortunate to have not contracted. Lycanthropy. Her fierce denial is soundly shattered, however, when she is simultaneously saved and kidnapped by Bastian and his pack. Forced to leave small town Iowa behind and adjust to their way of life in a hidden society, Katherine must also deal with fighting the pull she feels towards the man – or wolf, rather – who has bitten her and disrupted her life so completely.

She’s smitten by a wolf. Gwendolyn Laney was just an ordinary park ranger until the day she was bitten by a wolf, a wolf that can turn into a hot as sin man.

Nickolas Sipe is the Alpha of Blue Pack. He has a duty to all of his wolves, and that duty means keeping humans away. Humans have no place in the pack. They’re the ones to blame for wolf shifter misfortunes. It doesn’t matter that she gets him wild with a simple look. This human can’t be the one for him. Fated Mates. Forever Love.

alternate cover edition of ASIN B07MYF2DY8 "As long as I lived I would never be able to fully figure out Jasper Christmas. He was the abyss, the dark sea and buried in his depths were treasures, wonderful beautiful treasures." Get Christmas all year long… I thought I would end the holiday season as I had every year, alone in my bed, binging on my favorite seasonal TV shows while feverishly working to find my next article to write. That was until I received a call from an old friend, who made me a proposition I couldn’t afford to refuse. And so this year, I was spending Christmas with the Christmases. When I arrived at the mansion, Bryn, the one who invited me, was nowhere to be found. It was her older brother, Jasper who welcomed me with un-opened arms. Jasper Christmas was a beautiful but dark angel. He was intense, brooding and the epitome of sexy; danger dripped from his pores. Bryn’s proposition would put me at odds with this mysterious being, who guarded their family's secrets with his flaming sword. So soon I found myself passionately entangled with Jasper Walker Christmas. I’m now worried that our encounters will make me betray the reason Bryn invited me here in the first place.

Peter Pan falls for Captain Hook's daughter... "Promise me you won't forget me." "Are you daft? I'd sooner forget my own name." But he did forget. And she didn't see him again for years. When she finally met him, he wasn't her Peter any longer: he was a stranger. A pirate. An enemy. When Wendy Hooke was a little girl, she saved a boy from starvation. The boy, Peter, taught her how to fly. Now the boy is a man, a gorgeous man, and he has forgotten all about her. She watches him take London’s ballrooms by storm, pursued by every designing mama, but Peter doesn’t even glance at her. Because it’s not ‘Peter’ now, it’s Lord Darlington. Peter Darlington hasn’t forgotten the girl who saved his life. In fact, he can't stop thinking about her. But his life is complicated. Forces stronger than himself, dark, vicious forces, are driving him into a life of danger and daily confrontations with death. He is no longer the teenaged boy who fell in love with Wendy Hooke. And now the webs of his secret gang that fights crime on the streets of London are closing in on the greatest criminal of all time, the Viscount Hooke. And Wendy…well, she is his daughter. Hooked is a heart-wrenching love story of enemies-to-lovers to enemies again. It alternates between sparkling adventure, shattering sadness and searing-hot romance. It is inspired by the tale of Peter Pan and the rich lore of Greek mythology, as well as the glorious history of the Greek Revolution of 1821. It is set in the glittering world of Regency London, and so, among all the anguish and kisses, the reader can expect to read all about sharp cheekbones, pirate ships, witty banter, painted ballrooms, fierce ladies and a roguish gentleman or two who are up to no good. One thing is certain: we are no longer in Jane Austen's Regency London. Filled with humor, steam, angst and hope, this is Regency as you've never read it before. Content warning for: Mental health issues, parental harm, criminal behavior (lots of it), an extremely cute but idiotic found family and an overload of pining. For more information about serious issues that might concern you, please contact the author. Hooked might look like a quick, fun read, but don’t be fooled: it will break your heart into a million pieces. Information on this edition: Hooked, a dark Regency romance retelling of a grown up Peter Pan is part of the Retold fairytale retellings collection. It is the first of the three stories included in that book, but here you can read the story by itself. It is a shorter book and a standalone. It is being published separately due to popular demand. If you prefer, you can find Hooked as well as two more dark fairytale retellings included in one volume titled: Retold. \*Important Note: This book has already been published as part of the Retold: A Regency Fairytale Retellings Collection (Rakes and Ruin) book. This is a separate sole book release of the same book that is included in that collection, with no changes.

I’ve been texting the wife I lost, the woman I loved beyond measure ... Now someone else has answered back. Gunnar Bond is broken. Three years ago, he lived through the car crash that took his wife and twins away from him—though “lived” barely describes his current state. Giving up professional hockey, going off grid, and drinking himself into oblivion are his coping mechanisms. Another is texting his dead wife about his days without her. Therapeutic? Doubtful. Crazy? Definitely. But those messages into the ether are virtually the only thing stopping him from spiraling to even darker places. Until someone texts back … Sadie Yates is losing it. Suddenly guardian to a little sister she doesn’t know and a misbehaving hound she’d rather not know at all, she’s had to upend her (sort of) glamorous life in LA and move back to Chicago. The nanny has quit, the money’s running out, and her job is on the line. The last thing she needs is her sister’s hockey camp counselor, a judgmental Viking type, telling her she sucks at this parenting lark. Thank the goddess for her sweet, sensitive, and—fingers crossed—sexy text buddy who always knows the right thing to say. In the same city at last, they can finally see if their online chemistry is mirrored in real life. She just needs to set up a meeting … A ruined man who claims to have used up all his love is surely a bad bet, but Sadie’s never been afraid of a challenge … even one that might shatter her heart into a million pieces.
