Was duftet, strahlt und neigt sich dort so sachte? Blumen haben unzählige Gesichter, Farben, Formen und Gerüche. Doch eines haben sie alle gemein: Sie erfüllen Herz und Seele mit Freude. Manchen sind sie ein Symbol der Lebendigkeit, anderen gar Beweis von Göttlichkeit. Seit Jahrhunderten werden sie besungen, verschenkt und ranken sich um zahlreiche Geschichten und Riten - schmücken Hochzeitsaltare ebenso wie Geburtstagstische. So unterschiedlich die Blumen und ihre Bedeutungen sind, so vielfältig sind die Gedichte, die sie besingen.

One year to accomplish a dream. One year to leave my mark in the world. One year to live my life pretending that I'm not irrecoverably and completely in love with a man I can never have. I wish he would go away. I wish he would stop looking at me like I'm his everything. I wish . . . I had more than a year.

What do men want more than anything? Money and women. As the CEO of one of the biggest companies in the city, I am one lucky man. Everyone wants a taste of what I've got to offer—and it's massive. Girls fight over me in droves. In my fantasy, of course. I had to make some sacrifices to get to the top. To protect myself and the company, I always have to hide my dirty little secret… I'm a panty sniffer. What? A man has needs. Mine are just a bit more… outrageous. Instead of dating, I hoard panties.

A dog named Slipper almost ruined my life. The uncatchable stray snuck on the patio where I was waitressing and knocked me straight into Lee Powell's lap. My fist slammed into his junk. Then I accidentally flipped his breakfast platter onto his pants. I thought it couldn't get any worse, but when I bring my brother to baseball practice, I discover his new coach is none other than Lee, owner and founder of Powell Dog Sanctuary, and he's not happy to see me.

They say nothing compares to the first kiss. That sentence needs to be amended. Nothing compares to the first kiss from Oliver Best. I knew at the moment our lips touched that the cocky rockstar would be forever imprinted in my mind. I also knew that loving him would be my destruction. And yet, love him I did.

Grayson Kane liked to pretend I was just his wife's daughter, that whatever tension crackled between us wasn't a two-way street. Until I sent the "accidental" nude, that is. Then it became abundantly clear that he should leave the acting to my mother. He could deny it for eternity, but he wanted me, too, and no amount of distance or superimposed rules were going to keep me from doing what I do best—pushing limits for sport. Unfortunately for him, Grayson was nothing but limits. Calm, controlled, coiled so tight it was practically an invitation. Behave, Lyric. Or else.

I'm a lone wolf, I fly solo, and I'm not looking to find a woman to settle down with. The sum total of what I still want from this world is peace and silence, and being alone with my thoughts. That all held true until Anne came into my life. From the moment I saw her slumped over the wheel of her crashed car on the side of the road, I knew I wanted to know all there is to know about her.

I know full well I don't get to even feel love, much less fall in it. No soul, no soulmate. Ever. I don't have room for stolen kisses and fantasies of of making her mine. I've got to break the curse on my brethren and take down the King of Hell. So why is the dragon part of me insisting on marking and claiming this strange and beautiful woman who just walked into my life (and drank my beer)?

It shouldn't be a surprise to Azy that her pregnancy is...different. Everything else about her has been too. A girl from Chicago who is half mermaid and mated to a dragon Wyvern? Yeah. That's not exactly the kind of life she can talk to anyone about. But she's only a few months along and already the size of a house. She'll happily let her little ones take over her entire body if it will keep them safe from the woes of the world, which not only include the dark forces of hell, but also uninvited mermaids, a whole crew of wedding planning friends, and a bizarre prophecy.

Cage Gylden is one lucky son of a dragon. He should have died when his soul shard was stolen, but his mate saved his life. Too bad he's never met her and she's in hell. As a warrior, he will do everything in his power to defeat the Black Dragon and rescue her, whether she wants to be saved or not, even if he has to sacrifice his own life. Everyone Azynsa loves gets hurt or dies. She won't allow herself to feel for those around her, not since her father died and her mother's people came for her. These two are in for one hell of a time trying to save each other, and themselves. 

Several months ago, I was the queen of English Prep. The boys stopped in their tracks at the sight of my too-short plaid skirt, and the girls cowered behind their locker doors, envious of me ruling the halls with the most desired boy by my side. But the thing about queens? They often fall to their own demise. 

English Prep has always been known for housing the most uppity, privileged rich kids in all of Pike Valley. That is what has been driven into my brain since attending the opposing prep academy in the area since middle school. So when I am hastily pulled out of Wellington Prep and thrown into English Prep my junior year, it feels like I am being thrown to the wolves. My plan is to blend in and to remain invisible, so I fly under the radar, staying away from the "in" crowd. Then I lock eyes with Ollie Powell.

Gabriel Boulder, filthy rich, powerful beyond belief, and still as disgustingly handsome as he was seven years ago. He was never my boyfriend—but that didn't stop us from intertwining like vines during our last year of college. Leaving him behind was the hardest thing I ever had to do, and he never forgave me for breaking both our hearts.

Ivy needs a miracle and a drink - not necessarily in that order. What she doesn't need is Ted Jacobs, a.k.a. Mr. Know-It-All. She's determined to save her struggling winery, but she can do it without the annoyingly handsome man's help, thank you very much. Ted wants to catch lightning in a bottle and create the world's greatest wine, but he's smart enough to know he can't do it alone. When he heads to Napa Valley to keep his grandma from ending up in jail (don't ask), he meets Ivy Dobbs, the world's most stubborn woman. 

Kingston Scott is the most eligible bachelor in professional football, a charming rebel on and off the field. He's also in desperate need of an attitude adjustment. After a reckless night puts him behind bars, he's sentenced to coach football at a sleepaway camp in the middle of nowhere. He's not sure he'll survive an entire month of torture...until he sees her. The intoxicating woman with the silver moon eyes, the reserved smile, and the past she's determined to keep hidden.

Sienna isn't sure how much longer she can hang on to the shred of humanity left within her. Not when her only chance at escape would be to destroy what is left of her soul. Daxon is hell-bent on tearing apart the realm in order to find the Sage who has saved his life more times than he can count. But as the journey grows more perilous each and every day, Daxon is forced to confront the very real possibility that they may never recover the Sienna they once knew. 

It's another season of Renegade baseball and, as they say, the boys are back in town. All except for all-star pitcher Hawk Sinclair, who has returned to his hometown and back to the ranch he grew up on to rehab after shoulder surgery. Real-estate agent Bellamy Patrick feels like she's failing at being a single mom. Her son is having a hard time fitting in, and she's hoping that playing baseball will be the answer. When he doesn't make the team, she's willing to do anything to help him...except that! And that's exactly what the little-league coach expects.  

They had been captured by evil. Separated from their dragon selves, their clan brothers, starved, tortured. They should have given in to the madness beckoning in their minds. But for one thing, their Innamorata. They had stayed alive for her. Sable, a wolf shifter who had been broken, brutalised, instead of being loved by family. Wanting to die, she had been bought back from the brink of death, for them. Her clan of dragons. Now they are free with a rogue clan on the rampage, ancients who have no conscience, whose dragons just want revenge.

Gorgeous. Sweet. Funny. He made me feel things that I've never felt before. In just one short week over Spring Break, I began to fall in love. That is until it all fell apart. Now, here I am, three years later and I've moved on, at least that's what I told myself until he came crashing back into my life. Things have changed. I've changed, and there's something he doesn't know. He wants me to give us another chance. I try to fight it, but it's not long before all of those same old feelings come rushing back. I know he feels it, too. I can see it every time he looks at me.

Lila doesn't want another nice guy. She's tired of being the good girl. She wants something new - someone to push her boundaries. She wants me. Naive and curious, she looks at me with that voiceless yearning in her eyes, piercing and pulling until I can no longer resist. Oh, little girl, be careful what you wish for. You will submit to me, you will bend to my will and my belt will bite your skin until it blossoms in all shades of red. My restraints will cut into your wrists just like my command will carve into your soul. But you're not ready for it, are you?
