With threats of an apocalypse looming over our heads, Six and I travel back to The Guild. But when we get there, the arrival of some new faces complicates our mission. And if any of them find out that we're more than the protectors we're pretending to be . . . we're royally screwed. As if that's not enough, my nifty new powers keep hopping into action when I least expect them to. If I don't get them under control soon, we'll stand no chance at winning this battle. The key to stabilizing them? Well, let's just say it might require me to figure out exactly what I want from the members of Six.

The first time I meet Niall O'Rourke, he greets me, wearing little more than a scowl and a demeanor colder than the ice he skates on. I do my best to avoid him, that is, until he makes a proposition too good to refuse: I pretend to be his fiancee, and in return, he'll appear on my local television show. Despite our personalities clashing like hockey sticks, I discover beneath his brawny exterior is a man burdened by a complex past and a wounded heart.

All I wanted was to go to a good college and finally get my life started. Maybe meet someone, get my degree, and do something I'm passionate about. I just wish someone had told me that my physics professor could feed on my emotions and desires, the guy who sits next to me in astrology club would be hiding his fangs, and my first friend would have a secret of his own. An incubus and a vampire should have been manageable—up until their bloodlines were mixed with an unpredictable race of Zodiac Shifters.

They say age doesn't matter. I could argue that it does. The ten years separating Stella Cruz and I matter a whole hell of a lot. She has a year of college left—two entire semesters to enjoy being the star pitcher of Fulton University—and I have another Cup to win. Hockey leaves no room for anything else, not even someone as incredible as Stella. So, I left her in my bed. Out of sight, out of . . . sight. Because I damn sure can't get her out of my mind.

Captured and alone in a place that looks like it was pulled straight out of a medieval movie, I'm desperate to get back to The Guild and my family. But not before getting what I came here for: Wade. Hell might not be all fire and brimstone like I had imagined it to be, but sometimes reality is worse. Way worse. The members of Six and I have been separated with no concrete way of getting back to each other. But even if I could find a way back to them, I'm not entirely sure that I want to. While hell demons are certainly awful, the monster raging inside of me is proving to be just as haunting.

I didn't know he was a hockey player. He had no clue I was the coach's daughter. And he definitely didn't know I had a son the night he tickled my heart and so much more. Not that I was hiding it. I just needed one night… for me. To be a normal college student, making bad decisions. When I saw him on campus, his inked forearms and slate-gray eyes ignited something in my heart that I'm not ready to let go of. We were never supposed to see each other again. Yet, we both knew once would never be enough.

From the age of three, I was obsessed with tutus, leotards, pointe shoes and everything that dancing had to offer. After years of hard work, sweat and tears, I finally was able to make the dreams of the little girl in me come true. 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.

Devastation and devotion are two sides to the same coin, and Brian Miller flips the coin to my heart without even trying. He thinks he's not good enough—that I deserve better than a damaged single father. But his demons can't be any worse than the one stalking my every move in our small town—the one no one can bring to justice. Despite the age difference between us, I'm not a little girl, and I know the truth. Brian will never forgive himself for not being there when I needed him most. But he's the only man who can rescue me now.

Randomly bursting into flames and regenerating on a regular basis made Ash Howell feel like an outsider in a town full of monsters. Afraid of the damage he could do, the phoenix turned into a recluse . . . until Izzy Riley showed up in town.

Ryder Goode has been my celebrity crush since he signed on with the Charleston Coyotes. Watching him race around the ice has become a favorite pastime of mine. Despite him being one of my brother's teammates, we've never met. At least not until he cashes in on the prize he won in a charity auction—one weekend with me as his personal chef. During those two days, every preconceived notion I have about him gets annihilated, leaving me wanting to learn more about the kind and generous man. So when he asks me to stay on as his full-time chef, I accept.

My momma used to say, "Out of every tragedy, a miracle of love would come." The last ten years of my life have been nothing but tears and pain. I lost hope and wanted to give up on waiting for my miracle to come. Finally, a light is shining at the end of the tunnel. After leaving Texas and my...

The first time I met Murphy, the goalie of the Coyotes hockey team, I thought he was the most attractive man I'd ever seen. The second time, we shared a wild night and I never planned to see him again. Imagine my surprise when I showed up for a work meeting only to find out Murphy was my new client. He needed a bodyguard to pose as his live-in girlfriend, and I was perfect for the job.

After meeting the sinfully handsome Navy SEAL, my life has changed... forever. After my brother's death, I felt like I needed to take control of my life, and it was a new era of drastic changes. That's when I met Operator Grim Reaper. My shell has been obliterated by him in all the best ways. Even though Danny makes me feel safe, I still catch myself looking over my shoulder.

College parties and independence are replaced with late-night feedings and howling cries. As a single mom in a town that isn't her home, she's hanging by a thread. When her newborn's rare moment of sleep is interrupted by her noisy neighbor, the thread snaps. Rebuilding his life after his marriage left him in shambles, Archer Thomas isn't expecting his new neighbor to have a breakdown at his front door. The last thing he needs is to become involved, but Archer can't help stepping in when the struggling young woman's daughter steals his heart.

When Kaiden Hart, the captain of the Charleston Coyotes hockey team, comes to my aid in an emergency, it's the first time I've seen him since I was a young girl. And boy, have the years been kind to him. When he invites me out to dinner, accepting seems like the polite thing to do. At least that's what I tell myself. How else can I justify wanting to be near my older sister's ex-boyfriend? It couldn't have anything to do with his piercing blue eyes and kissable lips. Who cares if he's got chiseled abs and a rear end I could bounce a quarter off of?

My dad has been the coach of the Charleston Coyotes for as long as I can remember. All the time I've spent in ice rinks has taught me two things: 1. I will NEVER date a hockey player. As a single mom, it's not like I have time for romance anyway. 2. Nothing smells worse than hockey players after a game. And I work as a dog groomer, so I have experience with smelly animals. It's amazing how quickly my rules are forgotten when Darius walks into my pet salon. 

My best friend is in love with his girl, his ex girl. He's determined to win her back at any cost and at first, I was happy for him. I just didn't know that I'd want her for myself, but I do. Keeping my distance gets harder each time. She's the one thing I can't have, yet I can't stop reaching for her.

The Monarchs told me their pretty lies and tricked me with their gorgeous bodies. They took the trust I wasn't willing to give and shattered it into pieces. I made a vow once to teach these bullies a lesson, but instead it's me who has learnt the hard way deceit can't be washed away with merely a stick of gum. It'll take a deep-rooted thirst for vengeance and sweet justice from the Candy Crusher to right the wrongs dealt onto me. But that's not up to me to pursue. If the Monarchs want me, they'll have to catch me, and then I'll make them sorry they ever did.

With the Monarchs fractured, I need to use my best moves to bring the whole biker gang back home. My best moves being reverse cowgirl, the upside down corkscrew, and the underestimated cupid's arrow. Unfortunately, my appeal doesn't stretch as far as the stray who has latched onto one of my men. A charming, cunning killer to be exact. This house isn't big enough for the two of us. I'm a bitch who knows her way around a bone, so this slutty snake had better watch her back. Did I also mention she's trying to kill me? Unless Angus and I get to her first.

I'm Candy. Excuse the name. Mom was a stripper back in her prime and I was a client gone wrong. Now stuck behind the bar, she was eager for me to join the family business. No thanks. The only circles I run in are the ones my bubblegum bubbles make. Don't worry about my teeth though, sugar-free as always. I'm not a complete psycho. Oh, except for my passive-aggressive, potty-mouthed, imaginary best friend who happens to be a gummy bear. That part is pretty nuts. I was thoroughly enjoying myself, doing whatever the hell I wanted until a group of model-worthy bikers try to muscle in on my heist.
