N01-5-2, Vil, has lived four-hundred years as a second class citizen, a reptilian hybreed created from creatures from the stars who left as mysteriously as they came. Worshiped like gods, the ancient progenitors advanced humanity with gene therapy, which became their downfall, as the very DNA they relied on poisoned them. Relegated to traveling the galaxy with his ragtag reptilian crew, they set course to an abandoned military base on an old asteroid and find something the progenitors shouldn’t have left behind frozen in wait.
N03-1, Noel, sits in wait for his rescuer. Every day he puts out a single SOS call, his cryogenic stasis limited on how much his brain can process. Dimly aware of the passage of time, he sits in contemplation of his family that left him behind, the government that controlled him, and the legacy of pain and death that remains. Every day, he says the same thing. “Today will be different.” When a hybreed soldier peers at him through the frosted glass of his stasis chamber, he knows it’ll be different this time.

For centuries, the Chevaliers de Rouen pledged to fight the monsters that inhabit France until their last breath. In the mid 1800s, Michel-Leon Parisee is the last of his line. The whispering memories of the chevaliers who passed before him offer help but have also driven other chevaliers mad with their constant advice, so Michel-Leon is forced to maintain a careful balance. When an ancient hunger threatens Paris, Michel-Leon must gather every tool he has to fight a terrifying threat that has eluded destruction before.
Constantin Severin is fey kissed, a man who walks the line between the fantastical and the mundane. He is determined to kill the magicman, the monster who destroyed his childhood, and rescue its young victims. In doing so, Constantin is in danger of becoming what he hates most.

Together, they can find the strength they need to battle their respective demons. They can learn they don’t have to fight alone, but it will take trust.

With rare magic giving him dominion over the nation’s plants and weather, Edmund feels a great deal of pressure to live up to his nation’s many expectations, including making a perfect diplomatic alliance through marriage. That is, until he meets Lord Aubrey Ainsley.
Charming, romantic, and politically insignificant, Aubrey is a Seer, but not even he could have predicted catching the eye of Edmund, the Prince of Fortune—nor that the anxious prince who talks to plants more than people could feel so right for him. Aubrey’s dream-visions have been full of battle, not love, but to say that Prince Edmund has captured his fancy would be a grand understatement.
As the two become more and more intertwined, the nation of Saben falls under attack. War and dark sorcery loom on the horizon. To save their homeland, Edmund and Aubrey must resist the outside forces seeking to drive them apart and find the power within themselves to create a future for Saben—and each other—they never could have imagined.

Seven years ago, Zhen, a white snake in the West Lake, consumed a coveted spirit pearl, which gave him special powers—including the ability to change into human form.

BLURB:
Leovander Loveage is a master of small magics. He can summon butterflies with a song or turn someone’s hair pink by snapping his fingers. Though such minor charms don’t earn him much respect, anything more elaborate always blows up in his face, and so Leo vowed long ago never to use powerful magic again.
That is, until a mishap with a forbidden spell binds Leo to obey the commands of his longtime rival, Sebastian Grimm. Grimm is Leo’s complete opposite—respected, exceptionally talented, and absolutely insufferable. The only thing they can agree on is that revealing the curse between them would mean the end of their respective magical careers. They need a counterspell, and fast.
Chasing rumors of a powerful sorcerer with a knack for undoing curses, Leo and Grimm enter the Unquiet Wood, a forest infested with murderous monsters and dangerous outlaws alike. To break the curse, they will have to uncover the true depths of Leo’s magic, set aside their long-standing rivalry, and—much to their horror—work together.
Even as an odd spark of attraction flares between them.

BLURB:
They say blood makes you related but loyalty makes you a family…
Sounds like a tacky wall-art quote to me. But what do I know? I don’t have a family. Not anymore. And I definitely don’t know loyalty. Not since my brothers collectively decided to shut me out of their lives… Not since my mother lied to me and kept a devastating secret… Not since my father sold our company out from under me to a smug jerk with a chip on his shoulder.
Gideon Masters… he’s my new boss, and I hate him for everything that’s happened to me. For everything that’s been taken away. Even though I know, deep down, that being an angry bastard all my life hasn’t done me any favors, and that my hatred must have consequences. So maybe Gideon is my rightful punishment. Maybe I deserve his retribution for my sins. But the way he taunts me and torments me, the way he commands me, it all feels too good to be wrong. Maybe I don’t want him to stop. Maybe my punishment could also be my savior.

Twenty-year-old Jacob Tyler DiMara’s list of struggles is a mile long: anger and abandonment issues, guilt over his parents’ deaths, academic inadequacy, social and legal issues, and uncertainty about his sexuality, to name a few.
Despite all that, one area in which he’s never struggled is being an elite hockey defenseman. After barely making it through juniors due to several legal troubles, JT enters into Penn State University’s NCAA D1 hockey program as an academic redshirt, where he’s determined not to let anyone get too close.
What’s the point when everyone he loves only ends up dead or hurt?
Through unexpected bonds with his polar opposite teammate/roommate and his much older female English tutor, he’s been given the chance to learn what it means to love and be loved unconditionally.
Will JT let down his walls and form new connections that might finally allow him to find himself, or will he run like he always does?

He jumps at the chance to honor his family’s legacy when a one hundred and fifty year old stone church in the New England area is being repurposed into a library.
Grey doesn’t care for humans. Through the centuries they’ve labeled him many things: demon, god, blessing, destroyer. The latest is gargoyle. He’s had to deal with too many problematic humans through his extraordinarily long lifetime to let himself catch feelings for them any more. When Grey looks to hire a contractor to refurbish the stained glass of his new library, he was pleasantly surprised to find the original creator’s company still in business.
Grey’s carefully curated life and feelings are turned upside down the longer he spends time with Killian. But any thoughts of sending Killian away are pushed aside when Grey realizes the same faction that has been hunting him for centuries is also after his newest employee.

Which, fine. Weirder things have happened. Except the man claims to be a kelpie. And Bo’s soulbond. (Which explains why Bo can taste him, snowmelt and frozen grass, from across the room.)
Bo should just walk away. Believing in magic has only ever hurt him. But he’s always been too stubborn to take the easy route.

Everil’s ex will kill Bo if he finds him. To keep the human safe, Everil must break their bond. Only Bo rejects Everil’s every attempt to protect him, offering rough reassurance in turn.
A proper fae would insist. But Everil’s always failed at being proper. And Bo’s honey-sweet soul and wonder are impossible to resist. Despite the perils of homicidal dryads and duplicitous friends, Everil agrees to run. With Bo. Not from him.
Everil is determined to protect his new soulbond. But he soon finds that the true risk comes with the lingering taste of Bo’s kiss.

He was my best friend, and now I hate him. So why do I keep kissing him?
There was a time Ash and I were inseparable.
When I moved high schools, we went from friends to rivals. I could deal with that. But when he hooked up with my ex-girlfriend? We became enemies overnight.
The Ozarks is a big lake, but somehow he’s always in my way. First at a flashy rival boat company, where we’re always knockin’ boats on booze cruises. Sometimes literally.
Now at the newly redeveloped Swallow Cove resort where I’m based.
Ash has some hair-brained idea to run a food boat for the resort. It’s a silly fad that will never last. All flash and no substance, like him.
But now there’s no avoiding the guy. Or his annoying face and perfect hair and cocky smiles always flashing my way.
Ash has always gotten whatever he wanted. My sports trophies. My ex-girlfriend. A job with *my* friends.
But as tension mounts between us and the heat of anger boils over into lust, I start to wonder:
What if the thing he wants most is me?

Apparently having one friend in your life isn’t enough.

Honor, redemption, destiny, and magic.
As captain of the king’s guard, Kerric should have laid down his life for the royal family. Now, the king and his heirs lie dead. Kerric deserves death, too, yet the court mage has another punishment in mind. For their failure on the fateful day an enemy invasion killed the king, Captain Kerric and his men will forever guard the castle as gargoyles, both as a curse and as a warning. His one chance for redemption is to put a rightful heir on the throne. How can that happen when there are no living heirs, and he’s encased in stone?
Eron doesn’t remember much about his time before being rescued by notorious highwayman Lord Night and taught to live the life of a noble by day and brigand by night. There’s much more to Lord Night than meets the eye and much more to Eron’s destiny than purses of gold and nightly conquests.
A mysterious mage appears, saying it’s time for Eron to return home, overthrow an evil usurper, and take his rightful place.
As king.

I’d always heard that love stinks, but this is ridiculous.
I always knew I wouldn’t mate for love. I’m alpha of Windridge and my every focus has to be on doing what is best for my den. Right now, what is best for my den is finding a suitable mate. Only my bear is picky and there seem to be no agreeable omegas out there. But it leaves me right where I started… alone and in need of a mate.
With my position, I can’t randomly pick any mate— requirements need to be met. And when Jayce walks into my life, he doesn’t meet a single one. My bear is intrigued, but that’s not enough to abandon my quest. Besides, he stinks. Sure it’s the scent of a skunk and not his true scent, but I can’t get past it to discover what’s underneath. Maybe that’s for the best. I have a feeling this omega could steal more than my attention… he could steal my heart.

When Vincent does that, and Orion leaves, Vincent has to consider if his marriage was a huge mistake. When tragedy strikes those tenuous bonds are tested even further. Will these two princes finally get their Happy Ever After, or are there times when it’s easier to say goodbye.
