  Aiden Lobo is a graduate student in a world where magic, gods, and demons are part of everyday life. After a terrible betrayal, he is cursed with a Crack in his heart, slowly turning him into a living doorway for an ancient war demon. If Aeshma breaks through to Earth, he will kill millions.
  But before Aeshma can open the Crack, Aiden is rescued by his guardian angel, who uses his own Light to seal Aiden's heart. As a servant of the divine, the nameless angel was supposed to kill Aiden to avert the growing cataclysm inside him. But he loves Aiden too much to end his life, even to save the world.
  It's impossible for Aiden not to love his warm, generous guardian in return. He names the angel Eskandar, but then learns to his horror that because Eskandar was created for him, when Aiden dies, Eskandar will too. The angel has long since accepted this fate, but Aiden refuses to. He will do anything to keep his beloved angel safe. But with no other recourse than to sacrifice himself to prevent the apocalypse, there's only one way for Aiden to save Eskandar: a terrible betrayal of his own.

  Pan and Noah's story continues... 
  For every problem Pan solves, he makes three more, but accidentally turning Noah–his only connection to magic and the man who has been helping him–into a selkie might be the worst. Now he needs to earn Noah’s trust, and Pan has no idea where to start. He’s a god; people are supposed to beg him for forgiveness and aid. 
  Then a group of drak start following him around, thinking that he’ll be able to help them recover their ability to breathe fire. The last thing anyone needs is shapeshifting fire-breathing cats. But when they offer their prayers, Pan can’t refuse. 
  Noah should have realized he couldn’t trust a word that fell off Pan’s tongue before kissing him. Now, he kind of needs him because there are no other living selkies, and he doesn’t know what to do. Not that he even wants to be a selkie, but the coat is now his, and only his. As much as he wants to run away from all of this, the mythos aren’t going anywhere, and helping Pan gives him something to do. 
  The trouble is, the more he is around the powerless god, the easier it becomes to forgive him because he really is trying to help his people, even if it is only so they will worship him again. At least this time, Noah understands Pan only cares about himself. 
  Or at least he thought he understood…

  Vince Castro is everything I shouldn't want—my financial advisor, supposedly straight, and the son of Ohio's most powerful senator who's running for president on a "traditional family values" platform. 
   
  But every meeting feels charged. Every professional handshake lasts too long. And the way he looks at me when he thinks I'm not watching? Sure doesn't scream "I'm straight." 
   
  I'm Gabe Kelly, openly gay NFL player, and I've never been confused about attraction before. But Vince drops mentions of his girlfriend into conversation like breadcrumbs, casual reminders that he's supposedly taken. So why does every conversation feel like he's undressing me with his eyes? 
   
  When I finally corner him about the tension between us, the truth explodes. The girlfriend he casually mentions? They broke up months ago. He's been lying about still being with her to maintain his cover, even though she's desperate to get back together. 
   
  Vince has been living a lie so long he's forgotten what the truth feels like. But when his father's campaign heats up and his ex starts pushing for a reunion—complete with public appearances that would cement his "straight" image—our secret relationship becomes a weapon that could destroy everything. 
   
  I thought coming out was hard. Loving a man who can't afford to exist might be impossible. 
   
  Contains mature themes.

  Part of a secret organization tasked with responding to paranormal threats, Dane is a loose cannon operating out of a niche coffee shop, Crypt Coffee. When Sean, a local professor addicted to Dane's pastries, accidentally sees something he shouldn't have -- something impossible --it starts the two of them on a dangerous and passionate affair full of sex, secrets, strange characters, and ... murder.
  This box set contains all five books in the series, including: 
  
  Bad Seed: Monster hunter Dane and professor Sean make an unlikely pair, but teaming up together is the only chance they have at catching a killer -- that is, if they don't get too distracted with each other first.
  
  Night Terror: Something in Bleu Falls is killing off cows, and monster hunter Dane is ready to track it down with the help of his partner, Sean. The only problem is Sean doesn't remember him anymore.
  
  Family Bonds: When a violent werewolf ghost threatens to rip the delicate peace between the local packs apart, it's up to Sean and Dane to step in and diffuse the situation. Negotiating killer ghosts and shady secret organizations might be easier than dealing with a surprise visit from Dane's parents, who have no idea about his real job and who are intent on spending some quality family time with their son.
  
  Slim Chance: A stable relationship is harder for Dane and Sean than dealing with monsters or murderers, so when Sean sees something weird at work, it's almost a welcome challenge. Except that Sean's getting sick, and Dane has to pose as a student to get to the bottom of things, a role he hates. Can they solve the mystery in time or are their chances for success, and survival, slim indeed?
  
  Tipped Scales: A series of attacks gets the summer off to a dangerous start as Sean and Dane investigate what's going on in Bleu Falls. As the pieces click into place, they find there's an awful lot of magical power at stake, enough to change the world. But the closer they get to answers, the less likely it seems they will ever have a chance at a future together -- unless they can tip the scales in their favor.
