No one should see what must not be seen; no one should meet death's gaze while still alive.
Lilah is a young woman who has tried death countless times but has never succeeded. Although she believes she is immortal, she hasn't given up-because she hates living. Everything changes one morning with the arrival of her new neighbor, Jon; the silence Lilah has built for years is broken. Jon's calming presence begins to surface emotions Lilah had never experienced. But Jon is not as ordinary as he seems...
Just like Hann, who suddenly appears and gets closer to Lilah... Hann's interest in Lilah isn't apparent, but the attention in his eyes and the questions he asks shake Lilah in a different way. Both of them are drawing near, and both are hiding something from her. But which one is real? And which one stands on the side of death?
The mystery that separates Lilah from both life and death begins to upset the balance on death's side. While Jon pursues the truth, the mission assigned to Hann turns everything upside down.
So, how many times do you have to die before life truly becomes yours?

The Witch's Mates
I am just about to turn around and head down the alley toward the street when I see two shadows step away from the wall a little farther down from where I am standing. I can't see any features, but I can guess from their statures that they are both men. I don't know what species they are though, but given that they just witnessed me kill a vampire I decide it's time to get the hell out of here. At least they aren't blocking my path to the street. Just as that thought crosses my mind, I hear the back door to the club open and close. I don't want to take my eyes off the men in front of me, but I have to see who just walked out. To assess the new danger. Before turning to look though, I pull out my remaining weapon also hidden in my boot. A silver dagger. It's only really good for killing werewolves, but it can do some damage to other supernaturals too. I give the figures in front of me one last look, they haven't moved at all, and then glance behind me. My breath stops for a moment, and it feels like my heart stops along with it. *** Willow is a witch who hunts down and kills other supernaturals. After the Great Massacre of the Wiccan Community, their population had been decimated. So while they try to rebuild their population and plan their revenge, they take out as many supernaturals as they can. But everything changes for Willow when she meets Keaton, Everett, Aizen, and Devlin. *** *This is a fantasy reverse-harem romance novel.

In order to force citizens to remain peaceful after the riots about birth control, the massive country of Americo decided to allow scientists to stimulate the afterlife once they die. If a citizen was good and broke no laws, then the scientists would stimulate Heav, the equivalent to Heaven. If a citizen broke a few minor laws, they would go for Rebirth, where they are born with the same personality and mind, just different looks. If a citizen goes to jail for more than 15 years, the scientists would stimulate Ell, the equivalent to Hell. Lorian Hurando, director of the Afterlife Project, knows things about the system that few people know about. But when a letter arrives in the ocean of death threats one day that tells him to 'retire' or he will be in grave danger, he took the chance and retired.

It's patient, and it has it's set on a target...Her Visions bleed into reality. Memories that aren't hers claw their way into her mind. A forgotten man-Dionys Kaltheris, a soul twisted by betrayal and agony-reaches for her through the cracks of time.

As the veil between the living and the dead begins to tear, Elowen discovers that the restless are not alone. Spirits roam the earth-some lost, others consumed by vengeance-and from beneath them rise the Demons of the Underworld, the architects of suffering who keep souls chained to despair. Drawn into a war she never chose, Elowen must decide whether to fight for the living, to save herself and her loved ones-or to understand the dead. Her path will cross fear, grief, a soulless spirit that has his eyes on her, her brother reaching out from the afterlife itself, memories that aren't hers, spirit exorcists, fractured loyalties, and truths too heavy to bear. And when the time comes, she'll learn that some salvation demands sacrifice.
Alpha Logan
I smelt something calming, like the smell of rain and vanilla and suddenly, a guy came in charging at Gabriel. Gabriel didn't have any time to react as he was knocked to the ground. I stared at them in shock as I backed away, not knowing what to do. " Leave him alone! " I yell at the stranger throwing my hands in the air. This gets the guys attention and I notice the aura around him, telling me he's an Alpha. He starts stalking towards me as Gabriel struggled to get up, " Run Reagan! " I ran into a wall behind me causing me to fall and put my hand on my head in pain. I felt tingles on my arm as a hand was placed on my arm. I noticed it was the stranger as he made me face towards him. He crouched down at eye level as he stared into my ocean blue eyes with his sincere chocolate brown eyes. My eyes widened when he said the word that I've been dying to hear since I was a little girl. " Mate. " Reagan's been dreaming of finding her mate since she learned about them.

Bound by Destiny
"Again, do you think that's... wise? The others should be able to control themselves, but Fallon..." Gideon let the words hang in the air.

"Damn me, why did I have to save her." "Because you were bored." ********************************** Most children are raised to have a sense of wonder.

The Glass Man - Lila Gray Book 1
My name is Lila, the last of the Grays. The Glass Man murdered my family seven years ago, and I've been running ever since. He finds me in my dreams and tells me I'm not human.

Maybe that's why he's looking for me. Or maybe he wants to kill me, too. Before my time runs out, I have to find out why mother left me her music box. It holds answers-I know it. Although I'm tired, I have to keep moving. Keep scrounging for food. Keep dodging bullets. Keep ahead of him. It should be an easy decision, if not for the part of me that wants him as badly as he wants me.Complete
Alpha Jax
SIX-PACK SERIES BOOK THREE * While this book can be read as a standalone, I highly recommend reading book one (Alpha Gray) and book two (Alpha Theo) for context before diving into this book. JAX : I'm no stranger to one night stands. Lots of girls want to hook up with an alpha, so why should this one be any different? Maybe it's because she was the best I ever had. Maybe it's because she refused to tell me her name or anything about herself. We agreed to one night, no strings attached. The problem is, I can't get that night out of my head, and I've been obsessed with finding this girl ever since. When she shows up at the squad complex for recruit training, I feel like it's my lucky day- until my best friend introduces her as his sister and things get... complicated. I can't go against bro code, right? Even if Quinn is my dream girl. Even if there's a crazy attraction between us that I'm finding harder to resist every day. I'm so screwed. QUINN : One night. It was supposed to be one night of anonymous, meaningless sex with a handsome stranger. I just wanted to have a good time and try to forget about my cheating ex. It definitely did the trick- I haven't thought about my ex since, but now I can't stop thinking about that night. I can't stop thinking about the stranger with all the right moves that set my body on fire. When I arrive at the complex for a fresh start, I'm shocked to see him again- and even more surprised to find out that he's not only an alpha, but he's also one of my brother's best friends. Theo would kill Jax if he found out about that night. He can never know- which means I have to keep my distance from Jax. Even if I can't stop fantasizing about him. Even if it kills me. ~ This book contains mature content (steamy scenes!) and themes that may not be suitable for younger readers. If frequent use of profanity and f-words offend, then this book is not likely for you.Complete
