A cure for aging is all the rage these days, with scientists only a few decades away from extending life to 150 years or more. So when Dr. Ben Peterson is offered twenty million dollars to develop the so-called Body Fortress Drug—a cure for all disease—he was surprised as anyone when he actually did it!

I have to choose between Hunter, my best friend turned lover, and Malcolm, the jeweler who wants to pleasure me senseless. There's too much at stake to screw up now. If I choose Hunter, the pack will lose the only home it's ever known. Selfishness isn't exactly the beaming trait of an Alpha, and I long to rule someday. But if I make the smarter choice, the one that will save us all, I'll be betraying my heart.

I used to be sweet and innocent . . . but that was until Hunter put his hands on me. Now, my body craves his, and we've crossed the point of no return. My stepmother demands that I seduce a rich jeweler to secure our fortune, and under normal circumstances, I wouldn't mind. He's hotter than hell, I've been crushing on him for years, and after catching Hunter pleasuring me over the hood of his car, he wants me too.

It's no secret that I hate Phineas Yates, but what most people don't know is that I have a very good reason why. One hot summer, he broke my heart in the worst way, and I promised myself then and there that I would never fall prey to the sinner of Pembroke Prep again.

When my family begs me to get engaged to save the family name, I'm trapped with no way out.

What would you do if you only had two weeks to live? That's the very question billions of people are grappling with after news an asteroid, named Colossus, will impact Earth and bring about an extinction level event.

There is nowhere to go and nowhere to hide . . . except for a select few who have been chosen to go live in bunkers deep below the surface.

A deeply polarized and ungovernable United States of America has separated into two nations—the God Fearing States (GFS) and the United Progressive Regions (UPR). Judith Braverman, a teenager living in an Orthodox Jewish community in the GFS, is not only a talented artist accomplished in the ancient craft of papercutting, she also has the gift of seeing into peoples' souls—and can tell instantly if someone is good or evil. Jeffrey Schwartz has no love for religion or conformity and yearns to escape to the freedom of the UPR. 

I've got more pressing matters to think about. Like the fact that our wolf pack is in serious debt. If I can't find a way to secure financing for our estate, we'll lose our shifting sanctuary. My stepmother—wonderfully wicked as she is-has come up with a plan: seduce a rich jeweler who's visiting for the weekend. And then, when he agrees to bond with me and make me his forever, we'll be saved. Not such a bad deal, considering he's crazy hot, and I've had a crush on him forever. One problem: I'm not a temptress, not by a long shot.

Mankind has been manipulated over the millennia by an alien race that seeks to use it to transform our planet into a world that they can live on.

We start off scalding.

Amora Joy Orlov. The thorn in my side, the bane of my existence. The woman with the loud bark and even harsher bite. Cutthroat and defiant, she's everything I don't want, but exactly what I need. And as luck would have it, she also needs something from me. A deal is struck: use each other until we both get what we want. It should have been easy, and even easier to walk away in the end. Somehow though, I've grown addicted to the pieces of herself she keeps hidden away, the little glimmers of the woman beneath the ruthless façade. But the clock is ticking for the both of us.

Love. It's the most widely used deception in the world. It creates weakness within the mind, leaving rooms for distractions, and threatens to hinder my goals of success.

She's the sun, threatening to incinerate the darkness from my soul, and keep me from focusing on what really matters—what I've always wanted.

First contact with the seemingly impossible human civilization at Proxima Centauri is not going well. The Earth ships sent to render aid have not been able to reverse the contagion ravaging their population and, worse, many Proximans are now wondering if the humans from Earth are there for other, not so charitable, reasons. Can the extinction-level disaster faced at Proxima be reversed by the combined ingenuity of scientists from both worlds working together?

I left home to chase big dreams that went up in smoke. One horrible night out leads to me being trapped with sexy bassist Samuel Hansen and his bandmates. I'm not the girl that gets the guy, especially the rock star. But everything with him feels right. With his leather jacket, dark hair and tattoos, he is drool worthy.

They bother me with their constant grins and rainbows coming out of their ears, and Vander Booth is the king of smiles. Despite my efforts to scare him away with both my profession as an undertaker and my general need for frowning through most of my workday, he sticks around like a bad case of poison ivy.
