The day I rode to the Rift with my brother the king, I never expected him to deliver me into the hands of our enemies. Desperate to stop the Deepnight from covering his kingdom in shadow, he’s pledged me as a blood slave to King Laurent, ruler of the vampire kingdom of Nor Doru. It’s a humiliation I never imagined I would bear. A betrayal I’m not sure I can forgive. Unfortunately, my wishes don’t factor into the decisions of kings. Raised a princess, I know my duty. For as long as I’m bound in service, I’m at Laurent’s mercy. Survival means giving him my vein and my body. And when his cruel and arrogant general Varick demands the same, I must obey. But all is not as it seems in the vampire court. King Laurent has secrets, not the least of which is how much he enjoys his general’s company. Almost from the moment I enter the twilight world of the Deepnight, I learn my journey across the Rift was so much more than a barter. And it’s not just Laurent and Varick I need to be wary of. There are rumors of darkness stirring—of long-forgotten danger rising in the old elven lands. There’s something stirring in me, too. I’m hearing things I shouldn’t, and doing things no one should be able to do. The king takes me and I take his vein—and each time it gets harder to keep my new abilities a secret. Torn between two kingdoms and two men, I’m surrounded by danger on all sides. My body has become a battleground, and I’m determined not to let the enemy win. But the more time I spend in the vampire court, the harder it is to resist the pleasure of being conquered.

Now, as Carter returns to our pack for a brief visit, my husband insists there's nothing left between them. But Lucas insists a lot of things. Like how he doesn’t feel anything for Carter and how I must have been mistaken when I thought I saw them together—and acting like far more than friends. Alpha wolves are so stubborn. Fortunately, I’m not above using extreme measures to make my husband realize how important Carter is to both of us. If I have to play dirty, I will. I’ll do whatever it takes to bring these two alpha males back to where they belong, by my side…and in my bed.

All I want for Christmas is to get through the next twenty-four hours without embarrassing myself. I have no business spending the day with Bain Thatcher, my incredibly hot and totally off-limits boss. He’s my opposite in every way: older, rich, and so drop-dead gorgeous women in the office call him the “panty melter.” He’s also coming off a nasty divorce, and I know romance is the last thing on his mind. Unfortunately, it’s the only thing on mine whenever I’m near him. So it was pretty dumb of me to agree to accompany him to his family’s Christmas party. I should have said no, but I couldn’t resist his handsome face and sexy grin when he said he didn’t want to go alone. Now I’ve got to handle three hours in the car with Bain Thatcher the Panty Melter, followed by a whole evening on his arm. I’ve spent three years hiding my attraction to my boss. It’s going to take a Christmas miracle for me to keep it under wraps during this trip. But as the snow flies and the party heats up, I have to wonder if the fire dancing in Bain's eyes is just wishful thinking on my part—or maybe something more...

As the first woman to lead a werewolf pack in over a century, the chips are already stacked against me. To make matters worse, I took the reins right as moon sickness began ravaging my people.

The Games can be brutal, but the champion receives an elixir that grants a single wish with zero limitations. I intend to win—and then use my prize to save my pack and silence my naysayers. The moment I arrive at the Games, however, two dragons enter the competition and declare me their fated female in front of our fellow contestants. Finn MacAlasdair and Struan MacLure are two distractions I don’t need. Unfortunately, the pair of strapping Highlanders seem determined to prove the three of us belong together. But Finn and Struan have their own reason for competing—and they’re not afraid to play dirty to get what they want. They also have a knack for appearing when I need them. As the competition takes us from crumbling catacombs to ancient temples, they save me from disaster on more than one occasion. And when the three of us end up stranded in the middle of the rainforest, I learn exactly what it means to be caught between two goal-oriented dragon shifters. Still, I’m playing to win. At the end of the day, Finn and Struan are my rivals. I can’t let their sexy smiles and seductive promises make me forget what’s at stake. If I lose the Games, I’ll lose my pack. But when sinister forces gather, the stakes turn deadly. Suddenly, I have to choose between saving my people and losing the men who’ve captured my heart. Is winning really everything, or is the cost of a future without Finn and Struan too steep?

What good is power if you can’t control it? The daughter of two legendary air witches, I'm supposed to be the best of my generation. In theory, I should be able to bend the wind to my will. In practice, I’m more likely to accidentally trigger a hurricane. To prove myself, I have to capture the North Wind—the most volatile force on earth. As far as quests go, I expect it to suck. What I don’t expect is to meet my fated mate in the form of a smooth-talking Scottish Highlander. Callum McLeish is half-dragon and half-incubus. He’s also drop-dead gorgeous and determined to follow me to the frozen wastes. It’s cold in the North, but my new protector sets my nights ablaze. Things take a scorching turn when we arrive in the wastes and meet Graeme Abernathy. As a member of the Brotherhood of Ice Dragons, Graeme took vows to live a solitary life. His heart is frozen, and his attitude is as chilly as his castle. But dragons mate in threes. And the more time Callum and I spend around Graeme, the harder it is to deny the pull between us. Graeme isn’t supposed to feel anything. So why does he feel so perfect to Callum and me? Still, there’s something unsettling in the air. As things heat up between the three of us, danger does as well. Because Graeme has secrets—and a past that refuses to die. As the temperature plunges, the stakes couldn’t be higher. If I don’t unravel the mystery that swirls around Graeme, I could lose both of my men forever.
