Descended from the old god of legend, Malcolm Rauor possesses the ability to steal one's sanity. The marquess views his power and the eerie shadows that serve him as an affliction, one dooming him to a lonely immortal existence. Everything changes after a disastrous chance encounter with a witch on the outskirts of his estate. The woman is the mate he'd long ago lost all hope of ever finding.

After I saved his life and kingdom, Kalyll let me go, choosing duty over the passion that burned between us. Though his death was written in the stars, I found a dark, impossible way to pull him back, to anchor his soul to the world of the living. Still, that wasn't enough to win his heart. Now, the force that lives within him gives way to his darker nature, and for a second time, I'm kidnapped and made prisoner—this time in a high tower in the Seelie capital of Elyndell. With good and evil fighting within him, both his kingdom and heart stand at risk.

The third son returns to Montbryce after an absence of eight years. He's been in England, masquerading as a de Quincey and trying to infiltrate King John's inner circle. Sent by John as an emissary to a council of war in Flanders, he is unmasked as a spy. As if that isn't bad enough, he finds himself trapped into marriage and forced to flee with his unwanted bride.

Nina Anderson ruined me for all other women, launching into my world and anchoring herself to my core. She ran—she always ran. Now she's back, holding the tattered pieces of my soul in her fingertips and wanting more than I'm willing to give. I don't want her. I don't trust her. But I need her. Our love is toxic, our words lethal, our bond—unbreakable. But while we toe the line blindly, we both miss the demons we unveil with our light.

Roland de Montbryce has never met Adelina de Quincey, yet he feels inexorably drawn to his distant cousin, a woman forced into a betrothal to an elderly man. His heart tells him she is his soul mate. Risking his life by sailing to King John's England to rescue her might be considered foolhardy, especially by those who know Roland as the carefree, philandering second son.

Having escaped the besieged castle in the guise of a nun, Marguerite d'Aigremont must find a way to get back to her native England—without anyone discovering she is King John's cousin. She despises the Normans who sided with their age-old enemy to bring about king John's ouster as Duke of Normandy. But she is dependent on Becket if she's to have any hope of returning to England. Despite their differences, Becket and Marguerite are drawn to each other. Will the Montbryce Dynasty survive intact when King Philip of France discovers the family has aided King John's cousin?

Now that he's of age, Will leaves the temple on his own and sets out into the world as a warrior, priest, and sorcerer of Gracefeel. Incredible things, both good and bad, inevitably lie ahead . . . but the immediate future is uncertain. Two centuries have elapsed since the battle against the High King of the Eternals. Are there any humans left in the land beyond, or is Will truly alone now? Even if he finds other people, will he find allies in them? Or is the darkness of the outside world deeper than he ever dreamed?

Bon Jovi. Bryan Adams. Presley West. My favorite men of music. Only one of them within reach. The night before Presley West was due to leave our small town of Hollings Hill, all of my high school fantasies came to life. He finally wanted me. Eight years I'd spent pining, and now I, bartending Tessa Lisbon, was going to make damn sure I made that night count before the music industry stole him. Never screw your idols. That's what they say, right? Well, I did, and I did it well. So well, I somehow managed to screw my own heart in the process.

In a city of the dead, long since ruined and far from human civilization, lives a single human child. His name is Will, and he's being raised by three undead: the hearty skeletal warrior, Blood; the graceful mummified priestess, Mary; and the crotchety spectral sorcerer, Gus. The three pour love into the boy, and teach him all they know. But one day, Will starts to wonder: "Who am I?"

They say love makes the world go around. Mason Lowell set mine spinning. One night. Three kisses. And the promise of more when morning came. While the city of London slept, he made good on our promise. Only to cut me with his words as the sun broke. I ran from him—I always ran. But Mason Lowell was different, and he wouldn't let me go without a fight, finding my flaws and embedding himself into them.

I walked away from the only things that comforted me, that calmed my demons—the things that helped dull the pains from my past and allowed me to continue waking up each day and push forward. Now I'm sets out to win back the girl who has held my heart for five years, the girl who is too good for me, who deserves better than me. But none of that matters any longer. Because I'm hell-bent. When I found her, a life-changing secret was revealed.

Held captive since birth, I never knew normal. As a child, I took comfort in reading. It was my escape; my only glimpse at what life and love could be like outside the walls that I had been hidden behind. When I was finally freed, the world I entered was something I never could have imagined. Then I meet Harper Abraham, and my heart's very beat . . . changes. But, can I?

Rain clings to life by her fingertips. She's lost too much blood. The assassin circles her, waiting for her to succumb, but Rain made a vow to her mate, the Duke of Night. She promised him the head of his enemies, and she longs to seat him on the empty throne. Night only offered her a marriage of convenience. Now she's determined to win his heart and keep hers beating. Succumbing just isn't in the cards.

An intricate collage-novel fusing and confusing fact and imagination, Always Crashing in the Same Car is a prismatic exploration of David Bowie through multiple voices and perspectives—the protean musician himself, an academic trying to compose a critical monograph about him, friends, lovers, musicologists, and others in Bowie's orbit. At its core beat questions about how we read others, how we are read by them, how (if at all) we can tell the past with something even close to accuracy, what it feels like being the opposite of young and still committed to bracing, volatile innovation.

Mating is a matter of politics for Night, not the heart. To prevent a forced union that will plunge the Lunar Court into war, he must find and bond his true mate. When he lays eyes on Rain, he knows the shy forest witch is the bond mate he's been searching for. Unprepared for the intensity of his attraction, Night makes an offer that would keep his priorities straight and his court safe: a marriage of convenience. Any eligible woman—mortal and immortal alike—would leap at the chance to become the powerful duke's bride. But Rain isn't interested.

Will and his new allies at last set out for the Rust Mountains to face the dragon Valacirca. After a nostalgic reunion and an unexpected encounter, the curtain of battle must rise in the lost underground kingdom. What fate awaits the Faraway Paladin? The god of undeath is clear: "I will say it once more. If you challenge him, you will die."

I detest Fate. All vampires crave more than the rich taste of blood is their beloved, but I'm betrayed. I'm left hopeful and hopeless. Against all attempts, my heart has been poisoned against me. My belief is gone. A lie has been weaved for far too long and I fell into the web like so many others before me. I must ease the ache of time. No longer will I yearn for a fairytale. This torture comes to a stop. To find love, I follow tradition instead. A matching ceremony. And she changes all I know.

Lady Maria has always done as she is told—until the former Diamond of the First Water faces a husband of unspeakable cruelty, and she escapes out a window and into the night, saved by the physician who affects her as no other man has. When Lady Maria shows up on his doorstep, injured, frightened, and alone, Dr. Hudson Lewis cannot help but look after her—even if it means sacrificing his heart to resist temptation. For he, a duke's bastard, will never be good enough for a woman like Lady Maria—especially after he has been accused of murdering his father.

But order has not completely been restored to this faraway land; strange things are happening, starting with plants blooming out of season and dying at random. At Duke Ethel's request, Will and Menel are off to investigate, not knowing that their journey will lead them to an ominous prophecy and the Rust Mountains, the capital of the dwarves.

When parks department supervisor Reece Rollins decides to sign up for a triathlon, there are two things holding him back. One, his fear of monsters. Two, his sub-par swimming skills. At the urging of his sister's wolven mate, Reece joins Leviathan Fitness to train in the gym's Olympic-size swimming pool. After running into Reece at the pool, Cyrus offers to help Reece get ready to win the race.
