My ex-husband broke my heart by asking for an open marriage. Then I found out he had already been sleeping with someone else. So I dumped his butt and moved out. In the process, I found myself in the arms of four smoking-hot strangers. They pull out all the stops, lavishing me with all of the attention I’d been missing out on. But these guys have a secret. Am I going to be able to cope with the truth when it comes out, or is it going to be too much to bear?

Every famous love song has been written by an alpha for an omega. As a beta, I've never expected to be anyone's muse. I'm happy to stick in the background—and with a past like mine, it's simply safer avoiding the spotlight. That changes the day I learn my long-lost brother is Stix Rain, the drummer for one of the biggest rock bands in the world. We lost touch when we went into foster care. He ran away, I stayed, and I still carry the scars from growing up alone. I have so many questions for him—until I discover he died three months ago.

I never thought I would be seeking shelter here of all places. I’m out of options though. I needed a place to hide out. Somewhere I could get my bearings and develop a plan to get myself out of the mess I’ve landed in. It was a fail-proof plan. Then he found me. I’ve escaped one monster, only to be captured by another. He’s determined to break me, to uncover the secrets I’m hiding. But this is one secret I can’t let him discover. Can I escape him before he ruins everything? Before he ruins me?

The first book in the acclaimed Wyatt series, by one of Australia’s most revered crime writers. Wyatt robs banks and payroll vans. Most men like him are dead or in jail, but Wyatt stamps a cold, pitiless style on his heists and has never been caught. Now his funds are low and his luck is running out — until the day Anna Reid explains about the kickback in her partner’s safe.

We're intelligent, hard-working, and unlike alphas and omegas, we're not ruled by our hormones. That's how I've earned the title of Alpha Wrangler. No matter how much testosterone floods a boardroom, I can always rise above it and get the job done. Which wins me the plum job of negotiating one of the biggest mergers in the country. All I need are a couple of signatures, and then I can use my bonus to buy an apartment with Kelvin, my beta assistant and best friend with benefits. All that comes crashing down when I'm triggered by a switch.

Alphas are taught to take what they want. Or at least that's the motto of the elite alpha academy where I work. My probation is around the corner, and the headmaster has already warned me I don't fit in. But I need this job to prove to my family and my ex that I'm more than just my past mistakes.

Being judged isn’t something foreign to me. I’m used to the whispers, the stares, the way people scatter or cross the road when they see me walking their way. It comes with the territory when your last name is De Bellis. But being judged by her before she gives me a chance to prove her wrong? Yeah, I’m not going to stand for that. Zoe thinks she knows who I am, assumes I’m nothing more than a street thug with no morals or ethics. Letting her walk out of my life isn’t an option. I’ll show her just how virtuous this sinner can be.

Emily came crashing back into my life, bringing with her everything I was missing. But she’s not the same girl I knew years ago. Gone is the girl who was always happy and eager to please everyone. The one who didn’t let life get her down. She’s conquered her demons, but they still haunt her whenever she closes her eyes. Her screams tear through the darkness night after night. She thinks she needs to get away, to keep running. To leave me behind. But I won’t lose her again. I will slay anything, anyone, who thinks they can get in the way of my keeping her.

What do you do when you run into the men who made your childhood hell? Move in with them, of course! It was a decision made from one part desperation and one part need for revenge… I moved into their house, but they quickly moved into my mind every waking minute of every freaking day because they're different than I remember.

Bronson Butcher. My high school obsession. We were desperately in love until I made a mistake that severed our shared heart. So when he wakes up in the hospital and hears my voice, he stalks me down the corridor. He pins me to the wall and inhales me as though starving... But he's not that wild boy anymore. No. He's a ruthless man who takes what he wants, and what he wants is to punish me for running from him, remind me how my body hums beneath his—What he wants is to take me back to his city with or without my consent.

This time it's a payroll and bank run in the north of South Australia, an outpost town suddenly transformed by a pipeline construction project that brings petty crime, prostitution—and opportunity. It's a town with its own secrets and Wyatt isn't quick to trust at the best of times. But he's on the run and he can't afford to be choosy.

Meet Manny, Max and Elsa, Melanie Applebum, Rory, Atticus Busby, Battie, Amba, Debra Jo-Woo, Tamara Noodle and Mrs Gonsha as they get up to all sorts of shenanigans during Little Lunch. Follow the crew as they invent a new ball game, eat BAD birthday Pavlova, have a Disgusting Joke Competition, play Chinese Whispers, fight over what kind of sandwich Manny was eating, squeeze through the portable classroom and the fence, bring in exactly 100 things from home, find something GROSS in the sandpit, and more…

Five years ago, my life was turned upside down. I’ve avoided any kind of emotional connections with men. The walls I built up around my heart have a foundation no man has been able to crack. That is until Bray freaking Williamson came crashing down on me. On the outside, he’s the bad boy your mother warns you about. On the inside, he’s the prince charming your father always hoped you’d find. Just when I think I can let my guard down and let him into my heart, my whole world shatters when he’s taken away from me.

Being the eldest son has always been a blessing and a curse. I was raised to be one thing and one thing only. A monster. My father did everything in his power to make sure that’s exactly what I became too. He wasn’t expecting that the monster he created would be the one to take him out though. Now I’m in charge. Of the family, the empire. Everything. I’m learning real fast that being the boss isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. The first order of business was finding a new place to live.

I have no desire for a pack. I don't need to be taken care of. I earn my own money as an OmegaFans creator. The National Omega Commission's heat services have all the alpha knots I'll ever need. As for love? That ship sailed a long time ago. So why is it so hard to keep these three men at arm's length? Ben, my best friend's brother, was only meant to be an uncomplicated party hook-up. Aleks, the broody beta who I'm certain only tolerates me. Not to mention "Ryder," the OnlyA's alpha I've started collaborating with. It's easier to ignore what's between us if I don't find out his real name.

The hottest footballer in town is searching for the girl who got away. Me. We had one amazing night together, but when I woke up, I knew I needed to get back to my boring life. But he refuses to take no for an answer. The whole city is looking for the girl with the custom-painted Converse.

I met a man and a bear in the woods, and I chose the bear. Not just one either, but three hot bear shifters. No sooner have I escaped my awful ex when a creepy stranger advances on me in the woods. I'm alone, exposed, vulnerable… until three massive men come charging out of nowhere to save me. When the creepy stranger turns scary stalker, they insist on sticking around to offer their protection.

My life is a mess, and so is my house, but I'm a good teacher, right? So why are some of my best students going off the rails? I meant to ring their uncles to let them know what was going on.
