After losing her brother in a terrible accident, the last thing Cadence James wants to do is move to a new town in the middle of her junior year of high school. Cadence hates everything about Swanford, Missouri. There is no nightlife, no beaches, and the people...Don't even get her started on the people. She didn't think she'd be able to find anyone here that could understand her, but then she met Garrett. Garrett McDuffie and his family were the wealthiest people in town. Garret was freakishly handsome, incredibly smart, and a star athlete. All of these things should make him the most popular guy around, but instead he was known to be a loner. Cadence is quickly drawn to him, but the closer she gets the more she starts to wonder about him and his strange family. Are the skeletons in Garrett's closet ones like Cadence's, or are they something different entirely? Something...not human? Highest Rank #5 in Paranormal

Some opposites attract; some rip each others clothes off. Stormy-Rain and Marcus are polar opposites: she's a free-spirited, Tarot card reading, rainbow-haired hippie; he wears a suit and tie, and over-shines his already too-shiny shoes.

But Fate believes in them...So what happens when their worlds collide and disaster strikes? When they're thrown together under strange circumstances and embark on an epic road trip to catch a plane to a wedding a long way from home? The clock is ticking...and they are seriously ticking each other off. But they're about to discover just how thin the line is between love and hate.

Five years ago, Gabrielle left Castle Rock to follow her high school sweetheart and the father of her child to college. After he walks out of their lives, Gabrielle finds herself back in her home town with her daughter while she tries to start over. Enter Nathan, her best friends older brother. He offers Gabrielle and her daughter a place to live until they're back on their feet. And as simple as Gabrielle expects it to be, it's anything but. Especially when Gabrielle realises just how attractive Nathan is and Nathan might realise that Gabrielle is everything is he's ever wanted. "Stop," Nathan says suddenly, his voice hoarse and loud, startling me. His eyes are dark, dilated and fixed on my mouth. "Just . . . stop." This is what I'd wanted when I started reading to him, to wind him up and get the upper hand. Now that I have it, I'm not sure this was the best idea because the way he's looking at me, creates a dampness between my legs. "Why?" I ask, the word comes out a whisper. He stands up and I have to contain a gasp at the obvious bulge in his slacks. "Because I'm not hearing that character asking those questions," he stops in front of me, looking down. "I'm hearing you, asking to make me come, and I'm damn near close to letting you." This is a QB Bad Boy and Me story, but it can be read as a stand alone !

It's been six months since the whole Haydn incident. Darkness and Light are back where they belong- wherever that is- and things are starting to return back to what is considered seemingly normal. Having just started her second year at university, Millie Robinson hopes she can complete it in relatively normal circumstances. However, for someone that's capable of wielding all seven elements, that just isn't the case. A series of stabbings in the area and other mysterious, and somewhat inexplainable occurrences arouse suspicion that somebody out there knows about Argents- and of course, it's somebody who shouldn't. As usual, Millie seems to find herself more involved than she originally thought, and it's up to her and the team to stop this dark force from spreading. Will she be able to overcome betrayal and the barriers in her mind to stand up against the enemy again? Or will she give in to the doubt clouding her thoughts? Follow Millie on yet another journey of self discovery and action-packed drama! **Book 2 of the Argent Eye series** **Contains some strong language**
