This is a SEQUEL to Smoke On The Water. Neteyam and Kovek's bond was supposed to be the start of forever; a love strong enough to anchor them through anything. But Kovek's new role as chief weighs heavy, pulling him between duty and desire, leadership and the quiet mornings he longs to share with his mate. When the Mangkwan, a fire-dwelling clan, arrive with an old claim everything changes. A promise made over a decade ago binds Kovek to another: a mating pact his father once agreed upon and never fulfilled. Now, the Mangkwan demand what they believe is owed to them-and they will not take refusal lightly. Caught between the love he chose and the duty forced upon him, Kovek must decide what kind of chief he will be...and whether love can withstand the flames of war.

❝Every time I think about you, I touch myself. And what I mean by that is, I rub my temple because you're a fucking headache.❞ Nova Argent is used to running. New names. New towns. New lies. She doesn't know how she ended up in this world-or why the Volturi, an ancient vampire coven, are hunting her like a prize they're owed. All she knows is there's something inside her that should've never survived. Power. Rage. Something worse. Now she's in Forks, pretending to be normal. It would've worked... until she met Paul Lahote... Arrogant, infuriating, and way too close for comfort. She hates him. He pushes every button she has. But when the monsters come knocking, Paul might be the only one who sees the truth: Nova isn't human. She's a weapon. And someone is about to pull the trigger.

After an unexpected ceiling collapse sends her apartment into chaos, Madelaine Grayson ends up living with her brother - and dangerously close to his tattooed, way-too-charming roommate. He's off-limits... but resisting him might be impossible. *** When Madelaine Grayson's bathroom ceiling caves in, it's not just drywall that crumbles. It's her entire world. Forced to move in with her brother, she finds herself swept up in the chaos of his new protective attitude - especially when it comes to his tattooed roommate, Noah Laurier. Noah is the epitome of perfection: sweet, hot, and embedded into every thought Madelaine has. But he's forbidden, and the closer she gets, the harder he is to resist. Well... what her brother doesn't know can't hurt him, right? *** "Matt's sister, I presume?" He walks towards the couch and my eyes widen. He's tall. I thought I was tall but this man could tower me, and when he reaches a hand towards me, there's an intricate clock tattooed on the back of his hand and his fingers have bones tattooed over them. This man is not human. He's tall and angular and dripping with sex appeal. This man is hot. Capital H, capital O, capital T. I don't think I've ever seen a human being so attractive. All I can think about as I force myself to keep my eyes on the screen is the feel of his jaw beneath my hand, and it takes everything in me not to look back at him.

She was never meant to burn. But when Carlisle Cullen made the impossible choice to turn a dying girl, he didn't realize he was igniting something the world had never seen. Vivienne St. Claire was meant to die in 1974 - fragile, fevered, too human for a world at war. Instead, she woke in flames. A vampire unlike any other. Eyes still blue. Blood still bound to the sun. And a heart that never forgave the man who gave her eternity. She vanished. Decades passed. She tried to forget the Cullens. But the Cullens never forgot her. Until a new war rises, this time not from bombs, but from the volturi. And the only weapon strong enough to stop them is the girl Carlisle once called his daughter. Now Vivienne is back. With fire in her hands. Light in her veins. And a family she never asked for waiting in the ashes. What burns brighter - vengeance or the blood you share?

Like when he accidentally picks up her vibrator... Or when she walks in on him naked in the shower... Maybe... maybe they should just do it once... to get it out of their systems. Knightley has been her brother's best friend for as long as she can remember. And now they're all at the same university. It's not until she moves into his apartment that she notices just how grown-up he's become. He's no longer the scrawny boy she never paid attention to. Ripped and handsome, he's no stranger to taking women home. But he never lets them stay the night. Knightley never expected this. Somehow, he's ended up living with his best friend's little sister.
