    Can one prince's love shatter a god's curse? 
    After playing a part in his brother’s death, Auro embraced the curse his father placed on him. He knows he doesn’t deserve to be saved. Every spring has been the same for four hundred years: Awaken, perform his duties as the god of spring, return to cursed slumber. He’s known nothing but service, solitude, and grief, until he stumbles upon a handsome stranger in his forest. 
    Alexios has a curse of his own: a royal marriage and a destiny determined by others. When he finds himself lost and injured in the wild forest, a chance encounter with a shy, peculiar stranger shows him he’s not as helpless as he thought. 
    Alexios coaxes Auro out of solitude and back into the world, but their time is running out: when spring ends, Auro will turn to stone. When an assassin comes for Alexios, Auro decides enough is enough—it’s time for him to break his curse and heal his family. 
    Can Auro and Alexios break Auro’s curse and forge their own destiny? Or will time run out, returning Auro to cold, unfeeling stone?

    No groom? No Problem. 
     
     
     
    When her fiancé tries to turn their wedding into a publicity stunt, Jenna ditches the nuptials—and the groom she shouldn't have been with in the first place—and skips straight to the honeymoon. The getaway driver, her ex-fiancé's former business partner, Zach, is the perfect guy to help reshape her romantic newlywed itinerary into an anti-couple, anti-romance, anti-honeymoon adventure for two. 
     
     
     
    They trade couples yoga for kickboxing lessons. Five-star dining on the beach for pizza and beer at a dive bar. Forget couples massage—Jenna's getting that tattoo she's always wanted, and dares Zach to get one, too. And those naughty boudoir pics she took in place of romantic sunset snaps? Those aren't going in anyone's wedding album. Not that Zach will forget them anytime soon. 
     
     
     
    As each item on Jenna's anti-couples list is checked off, the anti-honeymoon with Zach feels more and more like the real thing, and she wishes the list was just a little bit longer . . . and even steamier.

    Alessandra Fleming has spent most of her life running from her past. Her budding photography career, her life in Manhattan, all serve to distract from the secrets and guilt she's never been able to face. Then the call. Her estranged father is in the hospital . . . and Alessandra must return home to Sag Harbor, crumbling the first wall between her past and her present. 
     
     
     
    For some, coming home is a relief. For Alessandra, it's a reminder of the family she's lost, of the time she'll never regain. But the answers—the secrets—of her family are hidden in the house, waiting for her. And the only one who may be able to help her uncover them is her father's neighbor, Zach, who brings with him an attraction that's intense and instantaneous. 
     
     
     
    Now Alessandra is being pulled back not only into her own complex family history, but into the richly documented lives of four extraordinary women. Generations touched by tragedy and triumph, despair and hope. And it's in these aching echoes of the past that Alessandra's own story—her mistakes and her capacity to love—will take shape, guiding her to the life she's meant to live . . . and the extraordinary person she will become.

    Lucas Bennett hasn’t been able to catch a break lately. 
    At the top of his growing list of disasters is the ongoing feud with Jake, his former best friend. It hasn’t helped that the two are also prospects competing against each other for the single spot with the Savage Kings MC. 
    Lucas thought his luck was finally changing after he makes a courageous rescue, saving a beautiful woman from two huge guards and the evil man holding her hostage. 
    But, as it turns out, he screwed up and saved the wrong woman. 
    As if that wasn’t bad enough, the girl he helped escape just so happens to be the younger sister of the club’s current enemy. 
    Taryn Hawthorne is fed up with being locked away from the world her entire life and treated like a child. Even her future has been decided without her approval. In two months, she’ll be forced to marry a man she’s never met. So, when a stranger shows up and offers her a way out, she jumps at the chance. 
    Once Taryn is free, she insists that she’ll never return home. That decision could very well start a war between her family and the Savage Kings MC. 
    Lucas didn’t sign up to be anyone’s babysitter, and yet, he’s stuck not only protecting Taryn but making sure she doesn’t run away, all with one simple warning – don’t lay a finger on her. She’s a handful, trying to fit twenty years of confinement out of her system in a matter of days. Worst of all, Taryn won’t stop trying to seduce Lucas, tempting him with what he can’t have. He’s still getting over a broken heart and isn’t ready to get burnt again even if she wasn’t off-limits. 
    When the Kings find out that the man Taryn is supposed to marry is looking for her, killing anyone who gets in his way, she’s terrified of being a prisoner once again. Lucas vows to keep her safe, and not just because it’s his job. 
    It may be the biggest challenge of his life, but he can’t fathom losing her. 
    Taryn is his to protect now and forever.
