I never should've let my guard down. Especially not with him. I'm used to being strong. In control. I have to be to run my corporation. So, I should've been able to hold my own against him. Against his relentless charm and devastating good looks.

I'm not the kind of girl who has one-night stands. Except...I did. What can I say? After a few drinks with a gorgeous man who made me feel alive for the first time since losing my mom, I was powerless to say no. And I didn't regret it. Not one minute of our hot, mind-melting night together. But he wasn't a forever kind of guy. So I walked away. I wasn't supposed to ever see him again. Then I did. Turns out my sexy one-night stand is Dr. Jacob Mitchell - and he's the cardiothoracic surgeon who just saved my dad's life. 

It was just going to be a quick vacation. A break from the demands of my job as a pediatric surgeon. I never thought she'd be there. Jessica Stein. My Jessa. The woman I left behind all those years ago is every bit as sexy now as she was then. I want her more than ever. Too bad she doesn't feel the same way. To her, I'm the guy who broke her heart and let her down. She thinks I'm the same player I used to be. She's wrong.

We shared the love of a lifetime. Too bad I don't remember any of it. Pieces of my life were ripped away without warning. My career, my control, my sense of self...it's gone. So are my memories of him. I now know him as the handsome doctor who was there for me when I first woke up after the accident. But before that, he was the love of my life. My everything. Or so I'm told.

Jace Stone was supposed to be one night—something wild and necessary. But I should've known better. He's a billionaire heart surgeon. A man women chase. The kind who never commits, never calls, and never stays. And yet...he stayed. He broke all his rules. Let me into his world. Held my son in his arms like he belonged there. And when I walked away? It wasn't because I stopped loving him. It was because someone made sure I couldn't afford to.

Our night together? It could've gone better. For example, he could've chosen to not take a phone call in the middle of the . . . final act. But I'm willing to give him another chance. I'm a giver like that. And Spencer Monroe is, after all, one of southern California's hottest, wealthiest, and most influential men. He's exactly the kind of player I like to bring to his knees—in the bedroom and out of it. I never expected him to propose a fake marriage, though. I really never thought I'd accept.

My trip to London was the first lucky break I've had in years. It came at just the right time, allowing me to escape my sad reality for a bit. And the guy I met on the flight? Perfection. The short week we spent together was filled with raw, unbridled, and passionate nights. But it couldn't last. I'm a single mom with a troubled past and a shady ex. Romance just isn't in the cards for me. Which is why I walked away from Jim and didn't look back. That was before I landed my new job. Before I met the boss. Before I discovered that Mr. James Mitchell, CEO, was my Jim.

Just when Elle thought her life couldn't suck more, she met them. Vampires. Four extremely hot and mysterious cousins that had a supernatural pull she couldn't explain. Life gets flipped upside down and turned inside out when the secret of who she is and what she can do is revealed. Braden, Logan, Cole, and Zac develop an unbreakable bond with Elle. They won't let go. They can't. She is a Life Blood. These four cousins will do anything to protect her from the danger of a psychopathic vampire who will stop at nothing to get to her. Elle will never be the same again.

Being a cocky, playboy, billionaire doctor is every bit as amazing as you'd expect. Or, it was, at least. Until I met her. Dr. Mikayla Smith is everything I'm not-sassy, sunshiny, and idealistic. She's also a much-younger resident at my hospital, which means she's forbidden fruit. I should've left her alone. But I didn't.

AVERY: Being married to Jim meant champagne toasts, luxury empires, and billion-dollar deals. But this Christmas? It meant being married to a man who signed off on a charcuterie board and called it a holiday. No party. No magic. Just Scrooge in a Tom Ford suit. And I'd had enough. With a little...

I don't believe in love at first sight. But hate at first sight? That I have experience with . . . Sebastian Aster is a sexy billionaire with a dark, tragic past. He’s also a grumpy, alpha jerk. It doesn't matter that he's here to help save my parents' winery. Or that making an enemy of him...

I proved that fairy tales aren't as far-fetched as everyone seems to think. I found my Prince Charming, and I married him. Jake is gorgeous. A hot doctor who just happens to also be a billionaire. Our chemistry is nothing short of combustible. And I'm happier than I've ever been. Except for one thing. Lately, Jake's been so busy with work that we're apart more than we're together. It's happening so often that I'm starting to feel like a married single mom. So, I'll need to figure out some way to spice up our marriage over the holidays. Something that'll get his full attention.

All I wanted was to be free for just one night. Free to make my own mistakes, to do something daring and crazy. Something my parents would hate. Chase was perfect in that capacity. He was everything I could ever want in a one-night stand. The sexy-as-hell bad boy from the wrong side of the tracks was a walking, talking, fantasy come to life. My fantasy. He turned my world upside down that night. And it wasn't until I saw him a year later that I realized I'd never really gotten over him. The scary part? Chase never forgot about me, either.

With the help of the four sexy Banner cousins, Elle has learned to accept the supernatural...and so much more. Her love grows stronger with each touch and kiss, and when they feed off her. Elle's blood not only gives the four gorgeous men strength, it's helping to seal their supernatural bond between her and her vampires. Except one. Cole Banner has changed entirely, and Elle knows she has to win the final vampire over in order to seal their bond. A bond that will give them the power to take on their powerful enemy.

Their lust and love was strong enough to seal their bond, until dark magic worked its way into their lives. Elle will do anything for her four hot vampires, but now the game changes, and they're sacrificing to keep her lustful cravings under control. Once the Banners realize it is going to take more than a witch to reverse the dark magic looming over all of them, they're forced to go undercover to a vampire academy for answers from the one person who may have them. The Banners may be the strongest immortals alive, but one human is proving to be their greatest weakness.

It's only going to get better, right? Four hot vampires, three sexy wolf shifters, and a war that's coming whether Elle and her men are ready for it or not. After the insane twist of events for Elle and her men, things are about to get steamier and crazier.
