Take Yellowstone and add in the White Walkers from Game of Thrones and you have Death Valley. Morally grey cowboys, menacing wilderness, and deadly zombies await in this dark western horror romance from NYT bestselling author Karina Halle. Three years ago Aubrey Wells' sister disappeared in the...

When they said only the strong would survive, they weren't joking. Between deadly gauntlets, cutthroat classmates, and my father's relentless attempts to transform me into a dracolich, death has become my closest companion. As the sole surviving fourth year at Shadowcarve Academy, I've evolved from student to reluctant mentor for my younger mates. The school has little left to teach me that my father didn't already beat into my bones. Did I mention that Thauglor has hatched, and Abraxis is slowly becoming his terrifying mini-me?

Days bleed together, and time loses all meaning. A thousand years of imprisonment vanish in the blink of an eye, and voices flicker in and out of the egg chamber in Malivore—until hers captures my attention. The ethereal song she sings awakens something deep within me, stirring a long-forgotten spark of life. Who is this enigmatic woman, and could she be the one destined to set me free?

Fated to the Phantom is the fourth book in the Sombra Demons series. It tells the story of Hope and Sammael, an anxious librarian and the mage-turned-phantom who is trying to catch her attention—and her heart.

Men always have another secret . . . Morgan thought she'd escaped. Her nightmare marriage is over, her husband Henry is dead, and she's finally free. Or so she believed. Because Henry isn't dead. He's searching for his missing wife, and he knows exactly where to find her.

There's only one thing my inner panther and I agree on. This gorgeous woman, whose thighs I'd happily die between, is my mate. And I will protect her at all costs. Ideally, in my bed. But my fated mate has a magic that even she doesn't know about. The ability to see into shifters' souls and discover their true nature. And that hidden power puts her in the sights of enemies with mysterious magic of their own.

I was supposed to end the Irish devil who's haunted my family's empire. Not crave his touch. Not beg for more when he pins me down and demands my surrender. One clean strike was all I needed. Instead, I'm trapped against his bedroom wall at midnight, my assassin's mask torn away, his hungry green eyes drinking in every inch of me. "I'll let you live," he whispers, his breath hot against my throat. "But every time you fail to kill me, you'll spend the night doing exactly what I say." I should have driven my blade into his black heart. Instead, I made a deal with the devil himself.

They say Lance Knight bathes in blood money. That he's the devil who keeps my brother's empire running. The enforcer who can kill with just his bare hands. I should be terrified when he becomes my shadow. Instead, I'm burning for the monster assigned to protect me. (Ten years of forbidden fantasies are finally within reach.) Then the nightmares tear through me. His name rips from my throat in the dark. And suddenly he's there—all raw power and deadly grace.

He made me his queen. Now, he'll either destroy me… or die for me. When my father was murdered, I didn't grieve—I seized his throne. Cold. Calculating. Untouchable. Until Lucian Agosti came for me. The Bratva fears me. New York's underworld bows to me. But Lucian doesn't kneel. He conquers. The Italian Don makes me an offer I can't refuse. My sister's life for my hand in marriage. My crown for his ring. My body for his pleasure.

I am not crazy. There is another purpose why I am locked away in the Jocose Academy or what I prefer to call Madrena's Loco Cabasa. I am a rather choosy succubus and prefer my men educated and with a huge talent. What they did with that talent didn't matter so long as I was able to get what I needed to stay eternal and drop-dead gorgeous.
