What do you get when money rules everything around you? An arranged marriage that nobody wants. Keris Life was going perfectly well for Keris Bishop. Beautiful, cultured, kind, and coming from a wealthy family, she truly had no complaints. As a curator for a very prominent and established art gallery, she's also very respected among the elites of Portal Lands. However, that all changes when Keris' parents announced that they've lost everything and it's up to Keris to make things right. Shocked that her parents had been able to wipe out generations worth of wealth, she immediately leaves her parents to clean up their own mess. Still, when Keris is brutally reminded that her sister's expensive medical treatments are at stake, what other choice does Keris have? Brantley Life was going perfectly well for Brantley Kingston. Handsome, rich, driven, and coming from a powerful family, he had the world at his fingertips. As the CEO of Kingston Industries, his name, money, and intelligence made him a force to be reckoned with in Portal Lands. However, all that changes when Brantley's father makes a deal in exchange for the one thing that no one else has ever been able to get their hands on: the girl with the diamond mines. Though he refuses to have anything to do with this father's ridiculous plan at first, when Brantley is quickly reminded that it really is a fight to the finish in the business world, what else can he do but go along with it? When a family's legacy, money, and power all come together... Though Brantley and Keris are doing their best to make the most of their relationship, not everyone is happy about their marriage. When the lack of trust between the two becomes too much, everything starts to go up in flames around them, and neither of them is safe from the fire.

What do you get when lack of sleep turns you into a raving lunatic? The most embarrassing moment of your life. Lyrical Lyrical Rodgers lives a simple life. She manages a pet store, has a fantastic family, a great best friend (you only need one), and lives in the apartment of her dreams. Well, the dreams she can afford. The only dark spot in her rather happy life is her new neighbor. He's a jackass, parties all night, and has no regard for anyone other than himself. He's also sleeping with the building manager, so he's no help. Nixon Nixon St. James is successful, wealthy, good-looking, and comes from a great family. On paper, he's a fantastic catch. In person, he could benefit from a semester-or two-at charm school. A prominent architect and real estate developer, Nixon has it all...uh, his temper notwithstanding. Apart from his penchant for going off the rails every now and again, Nixon really has no complaints. When jumping to the wrong conclusion does its thing... After Lyrical unleashes weeks of sleep-deprived anger on her new neighbor, she heads over to her best friend's apartment (one floor above hers) and tells her all about it. However, as she goes into further detail, it starts to become clear that she may have cussed out the wrong person. After Nixon gets the verbal lashing of his life, he's not sure which issue to address first. How does he convince the angry spitfire that he's not gay, not straight pretending to be gay, or not gay and having an affair with his brother? I mean, he's been accused of a lot of things in life, but this? This is crazy. Good times. NOTE: This book contains adult language, adult situations, explicit sexual encounters, and an imaginary trip to Minneapolis. If sensitive to any of the aforementioned issues, please do not purchase.

Is age really just nothing but a number? It depends on who you ask. Sayer Sayer Hayes was rocking the hell out of his adult life. At thirty-five, he'd given up on apartments and was finally a homeowner and was proud of it. He was also one of Silias County's best firefighters, and he was one of the best they had. With a great family, two annoying but loyal brothers, and a satisfying career, Sayer had it made. The man really had nothing to complain about. Monroe Monroe Stewart was kind of rocking the hell out of her adult life. Knocking on forty's door, she had her own home but that was a result of her divorce. As far as her career was concerned, her promotion to one of Silias County's building inspectors had come just in time to start the new phase of her life. Though she's had to adjust to a lot of changes, she was doing her best to welcome the new changes. When age is just a number... When Sayer overhears Monroe's ex-husband accuse her of still pining over him, Sayer steps in and lies his ass off, hoping Monroe will just go with it. Hoping that the hero role will win him some points, all he needs is to get his foot in the door to finally make Monroe Stewart his. When Monroe's ex-husband accuses her of still pining over him, she's too stunned by his audacity to stop Sayer Hayes from jumping into the mess of her dead marriage. Letting pride decide for her, she follows her sexy neighbor's lead, not suspecting that he has ulterior motives in mind. Between a crappy ex-husband, an emotional teenage daughter, a conniving co-worker, a matchmaking best friend, two idiot brothers, a station full of firefighters, a nosey neighbor, and a wedding-planning fireman whose determination rivals Stalin, Sayer and Monroe have their work cut out for them.

When the Eclipse Pack approaches him with an offer, Alpha Theo Stormblade doesn't ask why. He only asks one thing: "How much do they want?" Theo-once the Kingdom's most beloved, extroverted leader-has spent the last five years carved into stone. Cold. Detached. Unreachable. Since the death of his mate, the legendary Alpha has refused every attempt to push him toward a new bond. But when the elders insist he must produce an heir, Theo agrees to only one thing: A contract. A surrogate. Nothing more. Millie Rose has spent her entire life being overlooked. An orphan. A servant. A maid in one of the poorest packs in the Kingdom. Her parents were once powerful warriors, but Millie's future has been reduced to scrubbing floors, obeying orders, and surviving on scraps of respect. Until her pack sells her. When the Eclipse Pack hears the Stormblade Alpha is seeking a woman capable of bearing a strong heir, they offer Millie-quiet, obedient Millie-in exchange for desperately needed money. She meets every requirement on paper. Except one: She has no idea how dangerous Theo truly is. Brought to the Stormblade Kingdom under the terms of a cold-blooded agreement, Millie expects chains of duty. Theo expects silence and submission. But the moment their eyes meet, something ancient stirs-something neither of them agreed to, and something Theo refuses to acknowledge. He wants an heir. He does not want a heart. Millie wants freedom. She does not want to fall for the wolf who bought her. But fate has plans neither contract can contain. When secrets rise, desire ignites, and old wounds begin to bleed, one question remains: Will Millie become nothing more than the mother of his heir... or the Luna who heals a broken Alpha?
