To the Women on the Hill McKenna is a spy who sails the nightwind to keep close tabs on her people. In truth, McKenna is a double operative, an integral part of an underground rebellion. The Women are secretly bleeding the fae of their powers then banishing them to the Island Anethemusa; but the Dissenters, rebels who suffer under the crushing power of the Women, mean to put an end to their reign. When McKenna happens upon a talking weasel, she knows she?s found the perfect envoy for her covert mission. Robin Weir?s punishment for a life of betrayal is to be stripped of his magic and exiled as an animal in a foreign realm. He?s used to dirty jobs and subterfuge so becoming McKenna?s errand boy should be a simple task. But things heats up when Robin finds he has the power to shift into a man again. For McKenna the pet she?s invited into her home now wants nothing less than to possess her heart, body and soul. With the uprising at the ready, lives could be lost if McKenna can?t balance her separate identities of spy, rebel and lover.

The fabric of life as the fae know it is changing, and with it the dynamics of friends, lovers and neighbors. Devan will risk both her life...  more

A powerful United States senator and his aide die in their office of cardiac arrests. The next day, a second senator dies of an aneurysm. Officials declare their deaths natural causes, but the FBI fears there is something sinister happening on Capitol Hill and looks to psychometric detective Aurora Donati to investigate. Rory’s ability to get information from people or objects with a single touch uniquely qualifies her to explain the inexplicable. Only this time, she begins to wonder if she is up against forces that no one has ever encountered before. The next attack strikes close to home and turns Rory’s world upside down. She finds herself entangled in a deadly mix of terrorists, corrupt politicians, and secretive intelligence agencies in a web of deception and conspiracy dating back to experiments performed in a Cold War-era Soviet laboratory and perfected by modern science. Someone else is pursuing the truth: Gabriel Marshall, CIA operative, who has an agenda and abilities of his own. They find themselves locked in a deadly game, stalked by a seemingly supernatural assassin who puts Rory and Gabriel’s abilities to the ultimate test in a deadly duel. Time is running out and Rory must counter each move and play the game to its heart-stopping end in the halls of the US Capitol itself.

When the woman running the big regional dog show calls out sick, dog groomer Suz Holden is asked to take over. But it's too much for her to handle by herself-- considering the president of the kennel club, Olivia Weiner, criticizes her at every turn--so she calls in her best friend, Kari Stuart, for help.  A long, stressful day goes from bad to worse when a local breeder is found dead, and the murder weapon seems to incriminate Suz. While Kari knows her friend isn't guilty, the police aren't so sure, especially after a second murder points to Suz again. But trying to run a dog show and investigate a murder at the same time is like herding cats, and Kari will have to rely on the rest of the Serenity Sanctuary staff to keep things running smoothly while she--and her beloved and clever kitten, Queenie--sniff out the truth.

Kari Stuart is finally starting to relax into her role as the new owner of the Serenity Sanctuary and is looking forward to the various fun autumn activities in the beautiful Catskills town of Lakeview, like the annual Oktoberfest celebration. It's time for friends and quality bonding with handsome vet Angus McCoy. Until the unexpected arrival of her unpleasant ex-husband, Charlie Smith. He comes bearing a shocking revelation--the paperwork on their divorce never went through, and they are still married. Worse yet, he thinks this entitles him to half of her lottery winnings--although he'll happily take partial ownership of the sanctuary instead. Kari isn't sure if he's telling the truth, or if it's just another one of Charlie's lies. But things go from bad to worse when an unexpected death makes Kari the main suspect in a murder investigation. Will she and Queenie be able to find the real killer and keep the home they've built at the sanctuary safe, or is their string of luck finally tapped out?

Every night after Ember Pierce falls asleep, she disappears. She can teleport anywhere in the world?London, Paris, her crush?s bedroom?wherever her dreams lead her. Ten minutes is all she gets, and once time?s up, she returns to her bed. It's a secret she?s successfully kept for the last five years. But now someone knows. A week after her eighteenth birthday, when frustratingly handsome Caden Hawthorne captures her, delivers her to the government, and then disappears before her eyes, Ember realizes two things: One, she is not alone. And two, people like her?teleporters?are being used as weapons. Dragged off to a remote facility where others like her live, Ember?s forced to pair up with her former captor, Caden, to learn how to survive inside until she can escape. Only Caden?s making escape seem less and less appealing. But even as Ember falls for the boy who got her into this mess, she knows that she is running out of time. Because the government has plans for those like her, and those plans might just cost Ember her life.

They came to earth -- Pestilence, War, Famine, Death -- four horsemen riding their screaming steeds, racing to the corners of the world. Four horsemen with the power to destroy all of humanity. They came to earth, and they came to end us all. Ana da Silva always assumed she’d die young, she just never expected it to be at the hands of Famine, the haunting immortal who once spared her life so many years ago. But if the horseman remembers her at all, he must not care, for when she comes face to face with him for the second time in her life, she’s stabbed and left for dead. Only, she doesn’t quite die. If there’s one thing Famine is good at, it’s cruelty. And how these blighted bastards deserve it. Try as he might, he can’t forget what they once did to him. But when Ana, a ghost from his past, corners him and promises pain for what he so recently did to her, she and her empty threats captivate him, and he decides to keep her around. In spite of themselves, Ana and Famine are drawn to each other. But at the end of the day, the two are enemies. Nothing changes that. Not one kind act, not two. And definitely not a few steamy nights. But enemies or reluctant lovers, if they don’t stop themselves soon, heaven will.

The Great Library contains the most deadly magic tomes penned since the beginning of time. This magic is both wondrous and terrible, kept under lock and key by witch-librarians serving the king of the Underworld.  Eve is one of those faithful librarians. She doesn’t recall her life prior to the Hellbrary, and unlike her fellow Hellbrarians, she has very little magic to speak of. When a dangerous book is stolen, she must recover it with the help of a Gorgon librarian, a hellhound, and a mysterious shapeshifting royal envoy. This daemon, Azarr, has a serpent tongue and the heart of a man – can he be trusted? King Caldrius’s court has fallen under siege. Caldrius’s cruel son, Ral, has returned from exile with an army to assassinate his father. But his father’s crown alone does not guarantee Ral the throne. He needs the library, and he will take it by force. His ambitions don’t end with the Hellbrary – he means to take Earth and the Heavens beyond.  Eve knows there’s only one way to defeat Ral: they must use the recovered book to awaken the Queen of the Witches. Caldrius imprisoned Viridia millennia ago when she grew too powerful to control. Then, he offered the witches a choice: serve him or die. They served, until now…but will awakening Viridia summon an evil greater than Ral?  Time is running out, and all the forces the Underworld must unite to wage war for the library and control of all of existence.

THE DISEASE STOLE MY MIND. THE SPELL STOLE MY HEART. THE REST IS BURIED IN BLIND FURY. My name is Jerusa Phoenix, the only vampire who can see the lingering spirits of the dead. But, thanks to the Stone Cloak, I no longer remember who, or even what, I am. In an attempt to save me, my closest friends employed the help of an old and dangerous being. Big mistake! Something went terribly wrong ... or right ... depending on who you ask. The arcane ritual stripped me of the one thing keeping the growing swarm of savage wraiths at bay. Now I no longer recognize friend from foe, and under the wraiths’ influence, I have awakened with an insatiable need to kill any and all vampires, whether I once loved them or not. As I mindlessly hunt my friends, they rush to find a way to free me from the savage wraiths’ hold. At the same time, an abominable union of our enemies seeks to finish us all off once and for all.

She has her reasons, I’m sure, and I trust her, but the pain of the devouring stone is driving me mad. If only she could tell me why I must endure this agony. But the dead don’t speak. Hunted and battle-weary, my allies risk it all as they fervently search for an alternative way to save me. My prospects grow weaker by the hour. One fleeting, yet dangerous, hope exists. But sometimes the cure is worse than the sickness. Though it may already be too late, my friends will stop at nothing to restore me. Even if it means destroying everything I love.

When you dance with Death, you have to be willing to roll the bones...Raven Bonetalker, the Daughter of Bones, has her plate full. Not only is her neighbor still driving her nuts, but she?s in a new relationship with Kipa, the Lord of the Wolves, and neither one is ready for everything that entails. But life takes a sinister turn when a spirit begins siphoning off the life force of one of Kipa?s wolf shifters. Gunnar, a member of the SuVahta?the pack of divine wolf shifters bound to the Lord of Wolves?is dying, and nobody can figure out why. Gunnar blames himself for the death of his beloved wife, and he believes she is haunting him. When Kipa asks Raven to examine the shifter, she finds a far deadlier spirit latched on. And the only way Raven can help is to first agree to a deadly alliance with one of the ancient Ante-Fae?Arachna, the Web Weaver.

Lucy Meadowcroft?s life hasn?t turned out the way she planned. Her hometown always thought she?d go out and change the world. Instead, fifteen years out of high school, Lucy?s working in a bookstore and her social life consists of sex dreams about a caveman named Rhawn. Granted, they?re pretty awesome dreams, but it?s not like the guy is real, right? He?s smart and gorgeous and totally a figment of her frustrated imagination. All in all, things could be going a lot better for her. When Lucy reluctantly agrees to go on the Woodward High Reunion Cruise, she?s feeling pretty miserable about her place in the world. ?And that?s before the shipwreck. Now Lucy?s somehow marooned in the Ice Age. She?s stranded on an island filled with guys in loincloths who think she?s ?the Destroyer,? an evil goddess sent to sink their homeland into the sea. This is *so* not what the alumni committee promised in the cruise brochure. The wooly mammoths and sabretooth tigers running around tell Lucy that she?s a castaway in some other world. And in the middle of this prehistoric insanity, Lucy finds herself face-to-face with the caveman from her dreams. Rhawn the Accursed is reviled within the Clan. Every night, he dreams of Earth, the land of the gods, and of the Destroyer, the deity destined to end the world. Rhawn realizes that Lucy must be the wicked goddess, but he also senses that this woman is meant to be his mate. There is good in her. He knows it. All he has to do is persuade the rest of the Clan not to kill her, show Lucy that they were fated to find one another, devise a way to escape the island, and survive Lucy?s annoying classmates, who?ve washed ashore with her. It shouldn?t be that hard. After all, they have a few days left before the volcano erupts.

Not Another Vampire Book was only the beginning of the story? Slade, King of the Vampires: For a thousand years, Slade lived a rarified existence on an enchanted island. Now, he?s stuck in modern day Chicago and he hates it. His destined mate has divorced him, his people have abandoned him, and no one in the backwards human world makes any sense. He needs a new kingdom to rule. A better kingdom. Somewhere he can regain his glorious crown, defeat nefarious villains, and save a damsel in distress. Somewhere he can prove that he?s a still a hero. Luckily, he knows a Witch who can transport him into a very interesting screenplay.

Then, the self-proclaimed ?King of the Vampires? arrives to turn her peaceful world upside-down. Slade?s sure that he needs Jane to sidekick on his epic quest. Not only does the arrogant lunatic get her fired, but she?s somehow transported into the worse fantasy movie imaginable. The Kingdom of Infinia: With script pages full of stolen dialogue, random musical numbers, and a whole cast of supernatural weirdoes, there?s no denying that Jane and Slade are stuck in a swords-and-sorcery film. The egotistical (and annoyingly gorgeous) Vampire loves his new realm. Determined to overthrow Infinia?s Werewolf despot, Slade is happily battling dragons and gathering an army of Merry Men. And making Jane feel like she?s part of something for the first time in her solitary life. In fact, despite the Hollywood bad guys trying to kidnap her and the lack of hot water heaters? Jane is starting to think maybe she?s found her Prince Charming.

What?s worse than editing the stupidest supernatural romance novel ever written? Getting stuck inside of it. Karalynn Donnelly has somehow been transported into Eternal Passion at Sunset, a vampire love story filled with enough clichés, anachronisms, and run-on sentences to drive any hardworking book editor insane. To make matters worse, Kara accidently prevents the story?s hero and heroine from even meeting. Now Slade, the idiot Vampire King, thinks Kara?s his destined mate and Melessa, his actual bride, has run off to join a Wild West show. If Kara?s going to find her way home, she needs to get this story back on track. But, teaming up with the novel?s bad guy might not be the best place to start. Damien, last of the Wizard-Warlocks, thinks Kara is the key to destroying his archenemy Slade. Snarky, charismatic, and unrepentantly villainous, Damien hates the Vampires and he?s very interested in what Karalynn might know about all the changes happening in his world. Somehow, Kara has to reunite Slade and Melessa, dodge kidnapping Vampires, fight fire breathing dragons, and deal with her own growing feelings for a handsome bad guy who?s starting to seem an awful lot like her knight in shining armor?.

The Queen: Guinevere must save Camelot. Ever since Arthur died, the evil Scarecrow has been trying to marry her and gain the crown. If she and her daughter are going to survive his mad schemes, Gwen needs to find Merlyn?s wand. Fast. Unfortunately, the only man strong enough to help her on her quest is Kingpin Midas, a flashy, uneducated mobster dealing with a curse. Gwen is a logical, rational woman, though, and she can draft one hell of a contract. She?s pretty sure she can come up with an offer not even the kingdom?s greatest villain can refuse. The Kingpin: Anything Midas touches turns to gold. Literally. The curse has helped him to rule Camelot?s underworld with an iron fist. He has more money and more power than anyone else in the kingdom. He?s convinced there?s nothing he can?t buy. One look at Gwen and Midas knows that he?s about to make his most brilliant purchase, yet. He?s about to own the one woman in the world he would give anything to possess. All he has to do to claim her is somehow win a war against the smartest man in Camelot, hide his growing feelings from Gwen, deal with his overprotective bodyguard?s paranoia about the queen?s hidden motivations, and adjust to a five year old demanding bedtime stories from a gangster. Simple, right? The Contract: Gwen?s deal is simple: If Midas marries her, she?ll make him King of Camelot. It?s a fair bargain. Midas will keep her enemies away and she?ll give him the respectability that money can?t buy. She never expects Midas to agree so quickly. Or for their practical business arrangement to feel so? complicated. Midas isn?t the tawdry, feral animal that Arthur railed against. He?s a kind and gentle man, who clearly needs Gwen?s help just as much as she needs his. In fact, the longer she?s around Midas the more Gwen realizes that their ?fake marriage? might be more real than she ever imagined.

They crossed centuries to find each other. Their love will shatter worlds. Miss Ada Quicksilver, a student of London's Lovelace Academy for Promising Young Women, is spending her holiday in Ireland to pursue her anthropological study of fairies. She visits Dublin's absinthe bars to investigate a supposed association between the bittersweet spirit and fairy sightings. One night a handsome Irishman approaches her, introducing himself as Edward Donoghue. Edward takes absinthe to relieve his sleepwalking, and she is eager to hear whether he has experience with fairies. Instead, she discovers that he's the earl of Meath, and that he will soon visit a mysterious ruin at Newgrange on the orders of his cousin, the beautiful, half-mad Queen Isolde. On learning about Ada's area of study, he invites her to accompany him. Ada is torn between a sensible fear of becoming entangled with the clearly troubled gentleman and her compelling desire to ease his suffering. Finally she accepts his invitation, and they arrive in time for the winter solstice. That night, the secret of Edward's affliction is revealed: he is, in fact, a lord in two worlds and can no longer suppress his shadow self. Little does either of them realize that their blossoming friendship and slowly kindling passion will lead to discoveries that wrench open a door sealed for centuries, throwing them into a war that will change Ireland forever.

Dying isn?t the worst thing that could happen at seventeen, right? Growing up on the streets of New York City, I imagined my death probably about a thousand times. Getting hit by a stray bullet, ticking off an angry drunk, or even stepping off the sidewalk too quickly and getting run over by a yellow cab. But this? this was something I would never have imagined, not in a million years. I?m Aria Negrescu, and my name is pretty much the only thing in my life that turned out to be true.

They call it Deadtown: the city's quarantined section for its inhuman and undead residents. Most humans stay far from its borders -- but Victory Vaughn, Boston's only professional demon slayer, isn't exactly human... When Vicky allowed an ancient goddess to possess her, she had no regrets -- it was the only way to protect the people she loved. But now Ceridwen, locked in a power struggle with the Hellion that long ago claimed Vicky with its mark, refuses to leave. Both beings believe controlling Vicky is the key to winning the coming war for the human realm. Despite the forces pulling her apart, Vicky needs all her wits about her. The demons of Hell are growing bold and she can barely keep up with the attacks plaguing the city: sirens in the Mystic River, goblins snarling traffic on Storrow Drive, imps tearing the gold from the State House dome. As the signs of war multiply and Hell threatens to overrun its boundaries, Vicky finds herself torn between her duty to save the world and her desire to save something of herself...
